Part One
By Vicky

"You're all fired." Was all he said, before he stood up and walked out of the room. Cordelia sat in shock. *What? How? What?* She looked over at an equaly shocked Wesley and Gunn. "Huh?"

"You read my mind" Wesley said, leaning back in the chair, the look of pure shock still apparent on his face.

"Did he just... f- fire us?" Gunn said, looking straight forward.

"He can't fire us! Who's gonna work for him? Where are we gonna work? How am I gonna get paid? Where am I gonna live?" Cordy said, standing in front of the two men.

"Yes he did. I have no idea, I have no idea, I have no idea, and I have absolutly no idea." Gunn said, looking up at her.

"Well this sucks!" Cordy said, throwing her hands in the air.

"I have to agree." Wesley said, before standing and grabbing a box out of the corner.

"What are you doing?" Cordy asked, turning and looking at him.

"Packing. We no longer work here if I think I heard our boss right."

*********

Cordy, Wesley, and Gunn and exited the hotel carrying their belongings in carboard boxes. Neither of them said a word to eachother. They all parted their seperate ways. walking more like zombies then like humans.

Cordy walked slowly, letting her feet drag. She was fired. She'd never been fired before. Sure she'd been not given the part, but fired is something she had never been. And by a VAMPIRE of all things. A vampire that she called family. She had no way to keep payments on her apartment right now. She would have to move to someplace where she could afford the rent.. where there were lots of accidents... *oh god.*
