"Well I wasn't gonna stay in LA forever Peaches!". Angel glared at Spike who had a huge smirk spread across his face.

"Especially not when I have to stare at your bloody brooding face 24/7!".

Spike was almost in stitches now as he could see how much he was winding up his grand sire. Angel had been pissed ever since Buffy had disowned him for not telling her about Spike's 'coming back from the dead episode'. Now that Spike was on his way to London to see Buffy, Angel couldn't even look him in the eye.

Illyria caught the eye of Spike who did her best to act uninterested and unsympathetic but there was no fooling Spike. Ever since Wesley's death, she had gone everywhere with Spike and really relied on him even though she refused to admit it. Spike knew it would be difficult for her for the next few weeks without him. As Spike approached her, hands in his pockets, she crossed her arms and looked around the airport but she couldn't escape the vampire's piercing gaze.

"Well blue, looks like this it for now", he sighed.

Illyria's eyes flickered to Spike's and then started dancing around the ceiling again. Her grip around her arms tightened as Spike moved closer. She had no choice but to look at him now. Her natural reaction would be to fend him off but as he reached to brush a strand of bright blue hair from her face, she felt a rush of excitement race through her. Illyria stepped back, confused at this emotion but soon let the excitement flow take over her thoughts.

"I'll see ya' again soon!", he reassured her. He planted a gentle kiss on her cheek before turning to Gunn. Gunn was probably the chirpiest in the group. The pair stood there for a moment before Spike said,

"Well, guess I'm goin' now so feel free to take the apartment. I'm not stupid. I've seen you eyein' it up for ages". A stupid grin appeared on Gunn's face.

"Oh right my man!", he yelled and leaned in to hug Spike. Suddenly, both men stepped back and held their hands up.

"Wow!", they both said in sync as they stared at each other awkwardly. This silence carried on for a few seconds before Angel interrupted

"Well Spike, lovely havin ya', thanks for popping in, see ya' round", he rushed as he pushed Spike towards the terminals. Spike raised an eyebrow as he knew Angel couldn't WAIT to be rid of him.

"Alright boss, I'm going!", he chuckled and shrugged off Angel's hand. He turned around to look at the crew one last time before disappearing into the bustling crowd of the airport, nothing but a holdall slung over his shoulder.

Suddenly a commencement speaker started talking. "Attention. The 22:34 flight to..London Heathrow is now boarding at gate 12. Please do not leave personal belongings unattended". Spike smiled. Well Buffy, here I come...
