Dude, I seem to be churning out one of these everyday. I might request that my wonderful and lovely readers of this community -- back_in_town -- to actually friend it and find my updates in that way? Or at least let me know why this doesn't work for you so I can do something about it. Cool!!
Many thanks to the wonderful scars_poach, skittythegreat and aaronlisa for already doing this.

“You can’t just… knock my best friend unconscious and expect me to follow you without reason!” Willow lagged behind Faith.

Faith swung around. “Oh yeah, cause your Scoobies have been such great sports of you up till now. Buffy ignored you as soon as I came along; allowed you to get caught doing their dirty work in the Mayor’s office…”

“Hey, I wanted to do that stuff!” Willow objected.

“But did they ever say thanks? And how easy’s B. had it to forget you once she's moved on to the first college beefstick she meets? Not only has she forgotten about the love of her life, but she's forgotten about the chick she nearly killed for him. I’m thinking it’s way too easy for the likes of her to forget the likes of us.”

Willow’s troubled saw they’d arrived at the bus depot leading out of Sunnydale. Surely Faith wasn’t thinking…

Swallowing, Willow tried to find the lie in Faith’s words, but how could Faith know about the grief over Oz leaving that Buffy had been too busy to notice?

“Okay say, just say, that what you’re saying is true,” Willow said, holding her hand up as a stay-away. “What’s that got to do with us standing here right now?”

“What, you didn’t actually think I could stay here, did ya Red?” Faith asked, raising an eyebrow. “I got the Sunnydale coppers riding my back here. Not for me, babe. L.A.’s the way to go. Now, are you with me or against me?”

Willow met Faith’s daring expression.

20 minutes later, the two girls were sitting in the back seats of the bus, looking out as the last lights of Sunnydale faded behind them. On the right sight of the bus passed the sign:

NOW LEAVING SUNNYDALE - come back soon!
