The prompt was: When Spike is introduced in this episode, it's clear he's been in Sunnydale before. What's the story?
Route 66 was a hoot. All those intrepid travelers, far from home and all, filled with the spirit of adventure. No sense of limitations. No sense, period.
Motor lodges. Drive-in movies. Car hops. Christ! Car hops were the living end. God bless America.
He mowed down the “Welcome” sign and followed his nose to the soda shop downtown. Darla held court in a booth, wearing a poodle skirt, surrounded by jocks.
She waved them off when she saw him, “William. Thank you for coming.”
“Don’t know why you think I’ll have any better luck than you, springing ol’ Bat Face.”

Thank you for your very kind comments. I especially liked: "lighthearted w/awesome punchline" and "draws you in on the first line". You sure know how to make a girl feel special!

P.S. I read this last week and didn't realize that I had churlishly neglected to comment until I was just now showing it to M. Mere. (Who, BTW, especially liked "'ol Bat Face.'")

I am firmly in the "that's what really happened camp", myself. So much so, that this might just turn into my very first multi-chapter fic. *runs and hides*
Thanks for commenting, at anytime. Thanks to M. Mere, too!
