It was hard leaving the life I had grown so fond of. What mainly made it the hardest was the look on Dawn's face when I told her to pack up. It wasn't her up most 'yay for california' face, it was then I knew this wasn't going to be easy. Of course I sort of got that hint when Giles gave me the phone call. It wasn't much but 'how are you?' and the 'we need to talk' to send chills down my spine. When he sent over the plane tickets, I had to admit even I began to get worried. He didn't give us any information to go by, just that there was this meeting we had to go to.
I crossed my arms and slumped back in my seat. This was obviously going to be a very long plane ride, with Dawn taking the window seat and ignoring me. I didn't know if I could handle that much more. It was really my fault to begin with of course arguing with her wasn't going to help. Plus there were a lot of people on the plane and not alot places to hide for a 'private conversation.' I tried offer her some of the planes complementary peanuts but she wouldn't hear of it. If only things were different and I could let her stay in Rome, but alas they're not as always. Plus there was the fact Dawn was getting very close with that boy.
I didn't like it all but there was really nothing I could, except for a trip out of country. I shrugged as I looked out the window, I couldn't see much but clouds and the side of Dawn's head. I made out what used to be the city I had grown very fond of, there were memories of past loves there, places I really loved, and the people I left behind. It was almost like leaving Sunnydale in a way except this was a much more happy goodbye. No one died in the process of us getting on the plane. It was all normal and I was leaving it behind. San Fransisco was the place, I had read a few notes about this place from what the watchers left behind. It made me sad to think I was leaving an almost normal life to head back into to what we had left only a couple of years ago.
It struck a nerve of course, I was headed back to a possible old lifestyle. Demons there, demons here, demons everywhere. Giles wasn't really convincing me to trust him, there was obviously something wrong with that place otherwise why would he sent me, of all people, there. None of it really made any sense but then again when does it ever. Giles had been keeping a few things from me, along with Andrew aswell. I didn't know why they didn't think I could handle it. He was back from the dead, it wasn't uncommon and sure there was some sort of emotional involvement. Spike had been back for more than over a year and they kept it from me.
It angered me behind belief, I even tried to force things out of Andrew. There were certain things I wanted to know, like how was he? Did he look alright? All I got was 'he's fine' and 'uhhh He and Angel were actually here.' They were here, in Rome without even so much as a 'hello.' They could of made their presence noticable but they didn't and for reasons I didn't even know about. I let out a sigh as I took my eyes off of the window, it was giving me a headache to just think about all of this. It was the past and that was that, or so they say.
Peanuts?
I jumped as the stewardess stood infront of me. They had asked the same question over and over again, I had peanuts from before it wasn't like I needed a handful. I shook my head and watched her go through seat after seat. I wondered what my life would have been like if I were a stewardess. I could hand out peanuts in a very cheerful tone, it would be easy living. I could wake up everyday put one the nice 'not so ugly' uniforms and travel all around the world. I could offer the many of people if they'd like 'peanuts' but the sad part is them declining. I would be lost and not have a place for those peanuts. They'd never be eaten, just left there to rot. I quickly turned my head around at the lady and extended out my hand.
"Miss, umm I take it back, I'd like some peanuts, please?"
I tried to give her a great big smile but it turned out to be more awkward than anything. She came back with a small little bag and handed it to me. I mouthed 'thank you' as she turned around and left. Everythings now at it's balance, I had three bag of peanuts and the nice lady had hopefully filled her quota for the day. The peanuts themselves were of course free but giving them away probably gave them some sort of income boost or a meaning. I let out a groan as I found myself reading into things more than I should have. This was set to be a very long trip...
