Disclaimer: Joss and ME own these, I don’t, I just thought of the scenarios and borrowed the characters. I’m not making money out of them so don’t throw me in jail-I’d like to have a life still
Summary: I got thinking about what might happen if the Scoobies got a chance to go to London. Naturally the two Wiccan wonders will be in the spotlight, thought I’d drag the others along for good measure too to generally give all Londoners the nightmare of their lives
Notes: Ok, Buffy never died, Willow didn’t go all magick addict gal, Tara never died (harhar Joss
), Xander and Anya are together still and married, Giles didn’t leave, Dawn exists, and this is set in 2003, with all the people happy and amusing as always. Oh and Faith’s out of prison for good behaviour, but she isn’t in this yet 
Have fun peeps!

Chapter 1: Ready to go!
“I can’t believe we’re going to London!” Dawn squealed as she hopped down the stairs of the Summers house.
“Me neither,” Tara sighed wistfully. “England sounds so exciting.” She glanced at Giles, who was carrying a case out of the door and blushed. Giles of course wouldn’t find it exciting and exotic like she did, as he was English.
Dawn jumped around, a grin on her eager face. “It’s so cool that we’re going, I mean we can go to all those cool shops, and meet some weird-but definitely cute-English boys, and we can try all those weird and uh…wonderful? foods-”
Tara grinned. “And there are some awesome sights as well, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral-”
“Madame Tussauds?” Buffy asked, walking in and picking up a case.
“Yes Buffy, the greatest of all English sights is a wax museum,” Giles commented dryly, as he walked back into the house.
“I’m just saying that as well as all the touristy stuff, we should have a few laughs too.” Buffy replied brightly, as she carried her case to the taxi that was waiting outside, and running back in. “Is Will still upstairs?” she asked.
Tara rolled her eyes. Willow has spent the whole morning going through a checklist she had written to prepare for their trip. Naturally it was very long, descriptive-and in different colored pens. Over the last week she had driven the Scoobies to near insanity with her plans, and it had taken a long and not entirely unpleasant distraction from Tara for her to lighten up on the planning.
Sighing, she yelled up the stairs, “Will! Hurry up sweetie, I think Anya’s going to explode if we don’t go soon!” she grinned, seeing the ex-demon and her husband waiting near the taxi. Explode was perhaps an understatement, Tara thought. Anya looked as if she was wishing she had her vengeance powers back at this precise moment.
She heard footsteps, and saw her lover quickly descend the stairs, excitement written all over her face. “Ok, let’s go! Everyone got everything? Baby, should I take that Eskimo suit with us, as it’s going to be cold in England, and I don’t want to catch hypothermia.”
Giles, who had come back in to get the last case, looked up with mild horror. “Willow, England isn’t like Siberia you know. It’s actually quite warm in this time of year.”
“Um, you’re British Giles, you would say that.” Willow smirked, but let the point drop. The two Wiccans walked hand in hand to the large taxi. The driver currently looked as if he wanted to kill himself, as Anya was entertaining him with the joys of commercialisation. As soon as he saw that the rest of the gang had left the house to leave, he looked as if he wanted to kiss them all.
“Ok, let’s go!” Xander said with all the enthusiasm of an 8 year old.
The gang had gotten the chance to visit London from, surprisingly, the Watcher’s Council. The Council had received some information that they wished the Slayer to see, and seeing an opportunity for a well deserved Scooby vacation, Giles and Buffy had decided to get the Council to allow the others to come along. The result: a two week stay in London, in one of the best hotels. The Scoobies were, to say the least, ecstatic.
And so now, the seven heroes of the Hellmouth were in a taxi headed for jolly old England, and the taxi driver pitied any English person that came across these wild beasts.
“This is going to be so great,” Anya was saying, seated next to Xander. “I mean, two weeks of just me and Xander in a hotel room, having sex.”
“Uh, Ahn honey, wouldn’t you like to go seeing London as well?” Xander said, as the Scoobies all rolled their eyes at Anya’s typical response.
“Nah, I’ve been there dozens of times, I mean you wouldn’t believe the amount of wishes I granted there, the London men are such tramps.”
“What about shops? I’m sure there must be some stores you might like to buy something in.” Xander persisted, desperately hoping to distract her from more embarrassing sex talk or tales of ye old vengeance.
Anya’s eyes lit up at the thought of shops. “Hmm…maybe there will be some shops. But you’d better buy me something good mister to make up for all the orgasms I’ll miss.”
Buffy’s hands immediately shot up to shut around Dawn’s ears-far too late, Tara blushed as red as her honey’s hair, and Willow simply glowered at Anya. “You know Anya, this vacation isn’t about sex you know.”
Anya looked horrified. “What? Then why are we going? Isn’t the whole meaning of life about sex?”
“No, its not.”
“I bet you don’t tell Tara that it isn’t. I mean you two are always at it.”
“Hey! Don’t start talking about our love life!” Willow looked indignant.
“Why? I thought people were supposed to share good things. Unless it isn’t that good for you two, for which I’m truly sorry. Hey, maybe you and Tara could get with me and Xander, I mean isn’t that an example of friends sharing? I wouldn’t object, as you two are very attractive, and certainly worth having sex with, and Xander always drools at you two whenever you’re around and-”
As Anya continued her ramble about the wonders of a foursome, Dawn looked at the reactions of the others. Giles was currently trying to clean his glasses, perhaps for the hundredth time that minute. Xander looked painfully embarrassed, wishing the Hellmouth would open again, this time swallowing him whole. Buffy was still trying to cover her sister’s ears, and hers as well by the look of it. Of course, she was also trying not to cry with laughter at the look on Willow and Tara’s faces. Willow looked as if she was going to send an army of bunnies Anya’s way the first chance she got. And Tara, Tara looked as if she wanted to die. A look of such misery and pure horror, that Dawn couldn’t hold back the howl of laughter that had built in her throughout her observation.
Her sister’s laughter suddenly broke Buffy’s defences, and she started laughing as well. Willow and Tara glared at the two of them, now shaking in their seats as Anya continued her ramble.
“-and so if you ever want to experience 1000 years of my skill then just let me know, as a friend I think it is my duty to help you.”
The taxi stopped, as the gang reached the airport. Willow and Tara bolted out of the taxi, paying the driver who was relieved to have these maniacs out of his vehicle, and grabbed their cases, hoping they could get as far away from the people that they were somewhat unfortunate to have as friends. Buffy and Dawn followed, still cackling at the witches’ expense, whilst Giles, Xander and Anya took the rear, the two men looking as if this vacation was going to be worse than having red hot pokers stuck in their eyes.

She'll be coming in around Chapters 5 and 6, I have some funny scenes for her and Buffy planned mwhahahaha
it's the thing that you'd want to do but not have the courage to, so instead you'd just imagine the emergency exit accidentaly coming open and them being sucked out the whole flight.
