The next day Faith and Buffy were sitting on Tru's couch. Faith had reverted to her persona of Tru. Things were back to normal again. "I'm leaving tomorrow." Buffy said softly, not wanting to disturb the quit moment by talking loudly.

"Where," Tru asked

"I think I'll take a detour to Rio. Visit Willow and Kennedy and then back to Rome. I left Dawn in Andrew's care, scary thought."

Yeah," Tru agreed.

"What about you? Are you coming back to the fold any time soon? We can really use your help training the new Slayers," Buffy said hopefully. She needed a break training the new girls.

"Not yet. I'll keep in contact if that's what you mean. I think it'll be good for me to stay away, besides, the police are probably still looking for me," Tru said.

"You could always go to England, or join Dawn and I in Rome or Xander in Africa. How about you come with me to Rio to visit Willow, she can help you with the whole identity thing." Buffy excitedly recited. She really hoped she joined her.

"I can't. I have a job here Buffy. For the first time I will not run away from my responsibilities." Tru sagged her shoulders and sighed loudly. In reality she would love to get away from it all.

"Please," Buffy pouted.

"Damn B, how can anyone resist your pout. Fine, I'll ask Davis if I can take two weeks off. I'm not promising anything but I'll ask."

Buffy rewarded Tru with a smile and started talking about her life in Rome, Dawn and keeping Andrew out of trouble. Tru relaxed against the couch, listening to Buffy talk. This is nice, she thought. She was getting sleepy from Buffy's voice telling of her exploits. It's nice to have a real family for once, Tru finished her thought and gently drifted to sleep, dreaming of her upcoming trip and all the fun the three slayers and Wicca can have in Rio.
