uncomfortable.

Youve been spending way to much time with Faith.

hair.

BLACK OUT-


3/44

Visions of fate

INT. UNKNOWN CEMETERY - SOMEWHERE IN L.A - NIGHT

The CAMERA PANS ACROSS the cemetery zick zacking between the tombstones. We start

to hear sounds of a FIGHT as we get a LONG SHOT of FOUR figures. Two of them are

fighting while the other two seems to stand back WATCHING.

The CAMERA COMES CLOSER and we see that it is DAWN thats fighting a VAMPIRE -

while BUFFY and XANDER looks on.

The FOCUS is on Dawn as she ducks from an incoming blow. Her leg shoots out and manages

to trip the vampire, making him hit the ground with a definite thud. He growls at her,

flashing his fangs.

DAWN

(rolling her eyes)Pleuzzz. Is that supposed to scare me? Newsflash,

(putting a stake to its heart)

, it doesnt.

ZOOMING IN on the cloud of dust before PULLING BACK to a WIDE SHOT. (A.N: Dawn is

wearing low cut jeans, a blue turtleneck and her hair is down. Xander is wearing jeans that

really fit his new toned body and a black shirt. Buffys wearing low cut jeans, a white blouse

and has her hair tied back into a tight knot.)

XANDER(cheerfully)

Way to go, Dawnster!

DAWN

(brushing the dust off)

Thanks.

(grimacing)

Ow

BUFFY

(concerned)

Are you alright? Did you get hurt?

DAWN

Just a headache, sis. Nothing to worry about.


4/44

(another grimace)

Scratch that. Oh man, this hurts

ZOOMING IN on Dawn as she lets out a piercing scream and falls to the ground. Her body

convulses and her eyelids flutter exposing only the white in her eyes. But as abruptly it began

her seizure (?) stops.

BUFFY

(kneeling by her sisters side)

Dawn!!

A TIGHT SHOT of Dawns face as her eyes snaps open and she dazedly looks up on Buffy.

DAWN

Buffy?

BUFFY

(distressed)

Dawn, are you okay?

DAWN

(crabbily)

No, I am not OKAY.

BUFFYWill you live?

DAWN

It depends.

BUFFY

(eagerly)

On what?

DAWN

Do you have aspirins?

BUFFY

(shaking her head)

No.


5/44

DAWN

(moaning)

Then Im going to die.

ALL LIGHT on the three of them as XANDER kneels on Dawns other side - taking her tiny

hand in his big. They all look at each other and its quite a moving moment. I mean - you

could see the love they feel for each other.

XANDER

You gave us a bit of a scare there, Dawn.

DAWN

(coughing)

Sorry about that.

(trying to sit up)Can someone help me?

XANDER

(supporting her)

Can you tell us what happened?

DAWN

(stricken look)

I think

(meeting Buffys gaze)I think I had a vision.

BLACK OUT-

CREDITS(see attached WMV)

7/44

GILES

(confused frown)

What?

BUFFY

(forced smile)

Of course shes right.

GILES

(suspiciously)

Hmm

FOCUSING ON Angel as the vampire gets up from his place at the table and starts to pace the

room with everyone following his actions.

ANGEL

This is serious. When Cordelia had her visions

(deep breath)

they nearly killed her.

You can hear the pain in the dark-haired vampires voice as he talks about Cordelia. (A.N: I

always voted for those two, but events came in the way. But I strongly believe that whatever

happens, Cordelia will always have a special place in our heros heart. And who knows -

maybe hell meet someone else to love in the near feature. In fact, its quite likely that it will

happen. But Im not going to tell you who that love interest will be.)

XANDER

Thats why she became half demon, right?

ANGEL

Yes.

(looking at Buffy)

Theres no telling what it will do to Dawn. I mean, her being

BUFFY

(finishing off)

Not completely human.

A TIGHT SHOT of Buffys face. The blonde slayer is deeply worried.

FADE OUT-


8/44

CUT TO-

INT. UNKNOWN BEDROOM - THE HYPERION - DAY

ALL LIGHT on DAWN as her eyes snaps open and she jolts up in the bed. Her breathing is

rapid and shallow. Her eyes dart from place to place as if to find some familiar ground.

BUFFY

Dawn?

A WIDE SHOT of the room reveals BUFFY standing by the window. Her face expresses deep

concern as he hurried over to her sisters side.

DAWN

Buffy?(running a hand through her hair)

How long have I slept?

BUFFY

A few hours.

(biting her bottom lip)

Are you ready to tell me about your vision?

DAWN

I guess.(meeting Buffys gaze)

I saw Faith.

BUFFY

Huh? What fate? Yours?

DAWN

No. I saw Faith. Shes coming.

BUFFY

Dawnhoney, you know Faiths dead.

DAWN

(shaking her head)

No, I dont know. We never found her body, right?


9/44

BUFFY

All that blood

DAWN

She could have survived that.

FOCUS ON Buffy as she returns to her previous spot by the window. The sunbeams

illuminate her golden hair, making it glow beautifully. But her eyes are so sad

DAWN

(empathizing)

She didsurvive that. And shes coming.

(with confidence)

I have seen it.

SPIKE (v.o)

You need to go and find Faith.

BUFFY

(turning around to face Dawn)

Then I have to go and find Faith.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

INT. THE LOBBY - THE HYPERION - DAY

A WIDE SHOT of the lobby. GILES, XANDER, WILLOW, AERIN and BUFFY stands in a

circle, seemingly deep in discussion. Giles is wearing jeans and a black polo shirt. Xanders all

dressed in black and looking hot. Willow is cute in a skirt and a white blouse. Both Aerin and

Buffy is dressed in black and looking good.

GILES

Are you saying that Faiths alive?

BUFFY

(nodding)

According to Dawns vision.


10/44

GILES

Its hard to believe

AERIN

(cutting in)

Not really. After all; her body was never found and Faiths a true survivor.

GILES

(smiling at Aerin)

If you say so.

FOCUS ON Buffy as she rolls her eyes.

BUFFY

I think I should go out and see if I can find Faith.

AERIN

Ill join you.

BUFFY

(reluctantly)

Ok.

GILES

Ah. Before you go, might I have a word with you, Aerin?

AERIN

Of course.

A WIDE SHOT as the two of them leaves the scene, leaving Buffy, Xander and Willow

behind. Buffy turns around to face her friends.

BUFFY

(sullenly)

I think Giles likes Aerin more than he likes me.

WILLOW

(dumbfounded)

Oh my god, Buffy No. Why would you think that?


11/44

BUFFY

Shes stronger, smarter andprettier than me.

XANDER

Cant argue with you there, Buffster.

WILLOW

(smacking him in the head)

Xander.

XANDER

What?!

BUFFY

Hes right. I mean, admit it. Aerins a watchers wet dream.

XANDER

(looking peeved)

Dear god, Buffy. Really didnt wanna visualize that.

Theres a NOISE and the CAMERA SWEEPS AROUND to expose that Aerin has yet again

entered the room.

AERIN

(looking over at Buffy)Are you ready to go?

BUFFY

(nodding)

You bet.

We follow the two of them with a STEAD CAM as they exits the hotel and start walking

down the street. We can see that Buffy gives the dark-haired slayer furtive glances and we

can also see that Aerin picks up on them. It takes a few seconds, but eventually she turns to

face Buffy with raised eyebrows.

AERIN

What?

BUFFY

(innocent look)

Huh?


12/44

AERIN

You seem to have something on your mind?

BUFFY

(looking uncertain)

Er

FOCUSING IN as the two slayers stops in their tracks and turns to face each other. Aerin

seems to really be annoyed by Buffys rather strange behavior. And what is going on with

Buffy??

AERIN

What?!!

BUFFYDont you ever get tired? Of slaying. To always be on your guard?

AERIN

(enlightened)

Ah.

(shaking her head)

Nah.

BUFFY

Oh.

AERIN

Its alright tough.

BUFFY

What is?

AERIN

To be tired. Youve been doing this a long time, Buffy. It would be strange if you didnt feel

like that.

BUFFY

(reluctant smile)

Thank you.


13/44

AERIN

(shrugging)

No biggie. As long as you watch your back.

(turning straight forward)

After all; the mission is all that matters.

ZOOMING IN on the shocked look in the blonde slayers face.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

INT. DAWNS BEDROOM - THE HYPERION - DAY

A WIDE SHOT of the bedroom. DAWNS in her bed neatly tucked in under the covers.

ANGEL is sitting on the chair.

DAWN

(looking over at the vampire)

They told you to watch over me, didnt they?

ANGEL

(sheepish smile)

They kinda did.

DAWN(snorting)

Pushovers.

(staring at the ceiling)

Where are Giles, Xander and Willow?

ANGEL

Theyre in the training room with Illyria. Giles wanted to find out how powerful Illyria

really is.

DAWN

Oh.

FADE OUT-


14/44

CUT TO-

INT. TRAINING ROOM THE HYPERION DAY

ALL LIGHT on WILLOW as shes slumped against the wall. She seems to be quite exhausted

and her breathing is rather heavy.

WILLOW

(between breaths)

Thats it. I got nothing left.

A WIDE SHOT of the room to show us the other characters in play: GILES, XANDER and

ILLYRIA.

XANDER(amazed)

No more mojo? Are you

(beat)

drained?

WILLOW

(nodding furiously)

Yhuh. All used up.

GILES(scribbling on a paper)

And no affect on Illyria what so ever. Amazing.

ILLYRIA

(imperiously)

I am Illyria. God king of the primordium. The most powerful of the Old Ones. You are

nothing. Merely a speck of dust in my path.

XANDER

(muttering)

Charming.

FOCUSING ON Giles as he continues to write in his journal. At one point his glassed is off

but theyre soon put back on. He also rubs his nose.


15/44

GILES

Everything Angel told us is true.

(looking up)

Youre immune to sharp objects, have superhuman strength and youre resistant to magic.

ILLYRIA

(almost amused)

This makes you uneasy?

GILES

Bloody well it does! Youre too powerful to not be intimidating. What if you suddenly got it

in your head to betray us?

ILLYRIA

I will not.

GILES

Why should we believe that you wont?

ILLYRIA

Because I made a promise to someone.

FADE OUT-


16/44

BUFFYYoure always

(avoiding a blow)

AERIN

(staking a vampire)

Pregnant here.

BUFFY

(gritting her teeth)

Just rub it in, why dont ya?

A WIDE SHOT reveals that there are only two vampires left and the two slayers quickly

finish them off.

AERIN

Thats it. Im beat.

(looking over at Buffy)

I dont think well find Faith tonight.

BUFFY

Me neither.

The CAMERA STAYS with them as they start to walk down the dark alley.

FADE OUT-


17/44

CUT TO-

INT. DAWNS BEDROOM THE HYPERION DAY

ALL LIGHT on DAWN as she lies in her bed. She seems extremely bored.

DAWN

I am so incredible bored.

(scratching her arm)

And Im thinking that I can get bedsores by lying still this much.

BUFFY

(sighing)

Will you quite with the complaining?

A WIDE SHOT of the room: BUFFY stands by the window. Shes looking rather fetching in a

jeans skirt and a blue top.

DAWN

(snorting)

I'll complain if I want to. It's comforting.

BUFFY

Its annoying the shit out of me.

DAWN

(grim look)

Bitchy much?

BUFFY

(sneering)

Pathetic much?

DAWN

(crossing her arms over her chest)

I am not pathetic.

BUFFY

(rolling her eyes)

Whatever.


18/44

A CLOSE UP on Dawn as she sits up. The young woman leans against the wall and runs a

hand through her hair.

DAWN

I guess that you didnt find Faith?

BUFFY

(shaking her head)

But we will keep on looking.

DAWN

(sighing)

I am not making it up, Buffy.

(grimacing)

I sawher.

BUFFY

(nodding)

I believe you.

DAWN

You do?

BUFFY

Of course.

SPIKE

I believe you too, niblet.

The CAMERA SPINS AROUND. SPIKES standing in the doorway. Oh, he looks so good.

BUFFY

(shrieking)

Spike!!

(blushing)

How are you?

SPIKE

(warily)

Oh, I'm mutating into a god. How are you?

FADE OUT-


19/44

CUT TO-

INT. THE LOBBY THE HYPERION DUSK

A WIDE SHOT of the room. People present at the time: ANGEL, GILES, ANDREW,

WILLOW, XANDER, ILLYRIA and AERIN. But we can soon see BUFFY, DAWN and SPIKE

appear at the base of the stairs. This means that everyone is accounted for.

The CAMERA FOCUS on Spike as he comes to a halt in front of Illyria, who for once doesnt

look like she doesnt give a crap about anything or anyone. In fact, the entity seems rather

tense.

SPIKE

(acknowledgeable nod)

Illyria.

ILLYRIA

(returning the nod)

Spike.

Spike says something in a language completely unknown to us. And Illyria responds in that

very same language.

BUFFY

(coughing)

"...kaaaay... do you come with subtitles?

GILES

(amazed)

I believe that they were talking the language of the Old Ones.

BUFFY

Oh.

XANDER

(shaking his head)

Thats just whacked.

SPIKE

(turning around)

Lately, do I seem a little crazy to you?


20/44

BUFFY

(rolling her eyes)

What do you mean, 'lately'?

AERIN

What do you mean, hubby?

FOCUS ON Aerin as she walks over to the blonde vampire and wraps her arms around him.

They share a tight hug and smile at each other.

The CAMERA RETURNS to a WIDE SHOT.

BUFFY

(mouthing)

Hubby??

GILES

I must admit that I am rather amazed of how it is that you could hit the First.

XANDER

Yeah, hubby. Can you tell us how that is??

SPIKE

I actually dont know.

AERINCouldnt it be because of him being halfgod??

SPIKE

(looking down at her)

So you know?

BUFFY

We all know.

XANDER

And its wigging the hell out of us.

The CAMERA ROLLS AROUND the scene, showing us the perplexed expressions on almost

everyones faces. Its only Angel and Illyria that doesnt let out what they actually think.



21/44

GILES

(cleaning his glasses)

I see that we have a lot to discuss.

BUFFY

But theres the issue about Faith also.

AERIN

(sighing)

I guess that we should go out and continue looking for her?

ZOOMING IN on Aerin and Spike as the dark-haired slayer turns up her head to look up at

the vampire.

AERIN(whispering)

I was thinking that if you're still alive when I get back from patrol tonight... maybe we could

go out to dinner or something?

SPIKE

(smiling)

Or Ill accompany you and we can have a pick nick in the park?

AERIN

(beaming)I would love that!!

BUFFY

(suspiciously)

Would love what?

AERIN

(turning to the others)

Spike and I will patrol and have a pick nick later!

BUFFY

Howlovely.

We follow the two lovers with a STEAD CAM as they make their way out of the lobby.

FADE OUT-


22/44

CUT TO-

INT. UNKNOWN PARK SOMEWHERE IN L.A NIGHT

A WIDE SHOT of the park. AERIN and SPIKE are busy fighting a gang of vampires and

demons. Its two againsthmm.ten. As the CAMERA ZOOMS IN, Aerin plunges a stake

into the chest of a vampire. To her left, Spike simply and effortlessly snaps an ugly looking

demons neck. Did we just see his eyes flash in neon blue??

SPIKE

Watch out!!

AERIN

What?

(getting tackled)Ow.

Spike rips the demon of Aerin and throws it across the park. Its a rather amazing throw and

the demon stays on the ground where it lands.

AERIN

(getting up)

Thanks.

SPIKE(avoiding a blow)

S nothing.

We hear a roam and suddenly a very huge and grey demon has lunged itself on Spike. It

manages to get in a good blow to the vampires side making him growl.

AERIN

Spike!!

(staking a vampire)

Spike!!

The CAMERA FOCUS on Spike and the unknown demon. The vampires eyes turn to their

neon blue color as he catches the other demon by its throat. He lifts the now struggling

demon up in the air and with his free hand; he rips its heart out. The now dead body falls to

the ground with a thud as Spike realizes it from his grip.

A CLOSE UP on Spike as he looks up to meet Aerins gaze. His eyes are still neon blue.


23/44

AERIN

(knitted brow)

Spike?

Spike lets out an animalistic growl as he turns away from her and attacks the rest of their

opponents. In a matter of seconds theyre all dead. Oh my god, Spike has reallychanged. He

seems that much stronger, that mush faster And hes still sooo HOT!!

SUDDENLY we hear a CLAPPING sound from somewhere outside the CAMERA and as we

return to a WIDE SHOT, we see FAITH coming out from under a tree.

FAITH

(still clapping her hands)

That was some show. I mean Wait a sec. Spike?

SPIKE(calmly)

lo, Faith.

FAITH

(confused)

Arent you supposed to be dead?

SPIKE

(raising a eyebrow)

Look whos talking. Heard you died in Cleveland.

FAITH

I didnt.

(confused look)

Hold on. This is surreal.

(eyes playing over the vampire)

I saw you in that ray of light, Spike. You should have burned to a crisp. Not that I have

anything against you being back.

(approving glance)

You sure look hot.

AERIN

He sure does.

(wrapping her arms around Spike)

And hes spoken for.


24/44

FAITH

(quizzical eyebrow)

Another slayer? Is it some kind of disease or what?

(shrugging)

Whatever. Its five by five with me.

AERIN

I assume that youre Faith?

FAITH

Yup.

(studying Aerin)

And you are?

AERINAerin Browder.

FAITH

(whistle)

ve heard of you.

(turning to Spike)

You certainly have stepped up a notch. Oh man, Buffy must be fuming.

AERIN

No, shes cool with it.

FAITH

Really?

(not so convinced)

If you say so.

SPIKE

(sighing)

Well, now that we have found you, we should get back to the others.

We follow the three of them with a STEAD CAM as they leave the park.

FADE OUT-


25/44

ACT I II

A WIDE SHOT of the lobby as SPIKE, AERIN and FAITH enters from the outside. Insidetheres five people present: DAWN, BUFFY, WILLOW, XANDER and ILLYRIA. Dawn and

Xanders sitting by the table while Willow and Buffy sits on the couch, the later with her

head in Willows lap, and Illyria stands by the window.

Her name is Faith. Shes a slayer.


26/44

ILLYRIA

Another one?

(tilting her head)

Why is she here?

FAITH

(hands on hips)

Why areyouhere?

ILLYRIA

(tilting her head)

You dare to question my presence here? Such manners should be punished by snapping your

neck, insolent creature.

FAITH(tensing)

Who do you call creature, creature?

BUFFY

Faith, dont anger the blue person.

FAITH

Dont need you to fight my battles, B.

(eying Illyria)

Especially when regarding the Goth slut here.

BUFFY

(gasping)

No she didnt

FOCUS ON Faith and her perplexed expression. In the next second shes struggling for air

when Illyria appears at her side and easily lifts her up in the air by the throat.

BUFFY

(sighing)

Illyria, dont kill her.

FAITH

(struggling in Illyrias death grip)

Yeah, what she says.


27/44

ILLYRIA

You are fortunate that I am such a forgiving entity.

(releasing Faith)

Remember that.

FAITH

(coughing)

Yeah. Sure thing.

We follow FAITH with a STEAD CAM as she walks over to Buffy, whos now getting up

from the couch to join the newly arrived slayer.

BUFFY

(smiling)

Its good to have you here, Faith.(nodding in the direction of the stairs)

Lets go and find you a room.

We follow the two slayers as they approach the stairs and continue to stay with them as they

starts to walk upwards.

FAITH

Whats the what with Blue Goth?

BUFFY(rolling her eyes)

She is Spikes guard dog.

FAITH

(knitted brow)

I thought Aerin was that?

BUFFY

(sighing)

He has two.

FAITH

Oh.

(smiling)

Wicked threesome.


28/44

BUFFY

No.

(shaking her head)

No threesome.

FAITH

Whatever.

(eying Buffy)

Must be tuff on you tough.

BUFFY

(sighing)

They are soperfect for each other. And it makes me wanna throw up.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

INT. SPIKES BEDROOM THE HYPERION TIME UNKNOWN

In the park

SPIKE

(closing his eyes)

29/44

AERIN

Youre really strong now.

SPIKE

AERIN

Stronger than me.

SPIKE

(opening his eyes)

A WIDE SHOT of the scene as Aerin suddenly gasps and looks at Spike with amazement in

her glistening eyes.

AERIN

Ow.

SPIKE

Ow What?

AERIN

The baby moved.

SPIKE

(stunned)

The baby moved?

FOCUSING ON Aerin as she lays a gentle hand on her stomach. When she looks up at Spike

there is such love in her eyes

AERIN

Feel for yourself.


30/44

Almost hesitantly, Spike reaches out a hand and lays it on her stomach. We can see the

bewildered expression spread across his handsome features.

SPIKE

(smiling)

I can feel her too.

AERIN

Her?

SPIKE

(nodding)

Its a girl.

AERINReally?

(grimacing)

It kicked again.

SPIKE

Definitely a girl.

A CLOSE UP on both of their hands lying on Aerins stomach. Then PULL BACK to a TIGHT

SHOT of them as they look into each others eyes.

AERIN

What should we call her?

SPIKE

(bright smile)

How about Honey?

AERIN

Honey?

(beat)

I love it!!

(beaming)

She will be our honey.

ZOOMING IN on their happy faces. The FOCUS is on Spike as his expression changes from

happiness to aching sorrow.


31/44

AERIN

Whats the matter?

SPIKE

(cringing)

I just realized

(meeting her concerned gaze)

I wont be around to see her grow up.

AERIN

Spike

Theres a deadly SILENCE as the two lovers look at each other with tears in their eyes.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO

INT. UNKNOWN BEDROOM THE HYPERION TIME UNKNOWN

SPOTLIGHT on FAITH. Shes sitting on a bed with her knees up and head pressed against

them as shes rocking back and forth.

FAITH(mumbling)

Get away from me.

FAMILIAR VOICE

You left me to die.

A WIDE SHOT of the dark bedroom shows us that theres a figure standing by the window.

As it steps out from the shadows we can see that its ROBIN WOOD. Or is it really???

FAITH

(looking up with tears in her eyes)

Oh my god. I am so sorry.

(closing her eyes)

But you cant be him.


32/44

THE FIRST (??)

Of course not. How can I?

(walking towards the bed)

When you left me to die!!

FAITH

(looking up)

I thought we defeated you?

THE FIRST

(snickering)

I hear that a lot.

FOCUS on the First as he takes a seat on a chair besides the bed. He tilts his head and look at

Faith with contemplating expression.

THE FIRST

Why did you come here?

FAITH

(shrugging)

I felt like I was needed here.

(shaking her head)

Seems like I was right.

THE FIRST

(laughing)

Who would ever need you, Faith?

(morphing in to Buffy)

I dont.

The First/Buffy leans forward with a grim smile.

THE FIRST

I will never need you.

FAITH

Quit it.

THE FIRST

With what? Telling the truth?


33/44

FAITH

Buffys going to need all help she can get.

THE FIRST

(raising a eyebrow)

No, I wont.

(giggling)

I have Spike and I have Angel.

The CAMERA FOCUS on the First as it gets up from the chair and walks over to the window

once again. It looks back over the shoulder at Faith and we see that shes following its every

move intently.

THE FIRST

(sneering)What do you have?

FAITH

(quietly)

I have friends.

THE FIRST

(chuckling)

Friends?

(morphing in to Fred)You didnt even recognize me.

FAITH

(twitching)

Fred?

THE FIRST

Youre fortunate that I am such a forgiving entity.

FAITH

(blinking)

Oh me god

THE FIRST

(morphing in to Spike)

No, not yet. But soon.


34/44

We follow the First with a STEAD CAM as it walks over to the bed to look down at Faith

with a smirk in his face.

THE FIRST

Youre wrong, you know that right?

(leaning down)

Theyre herfriends.

(drawing back)

They will always be.

FAITH

If youre trying to scare me with all this

(beat)

Its not working.

THE FIRST

(shrugging)

Thats too bad.

(evil grin)

But I guess that you were right.

FAITH

I was?

(beat)

THE FIRST

Buffys going to need all help she can get.

(morphing in to Angel)

When her precious Spike dies.

FAITH

Then a WIDE SHOT as Faith gets up from the bed with a shocked expression.

FAITH

ACT I V

INT. THE LOBBY THE HYPERION TIME UNKNOWN

We follow BUFFY and FAITH with a STEAD CAM when they come down the stairs andenters the lobby. Buffys wearing jeans and a black shirt and Faith is wearing black leather

pants and a black T-shirt. As the walk over the floor the CAMERA PULLS BACK to a WIDE

SHOT so that we can see the people present. ANGEL and GILES stand in the doorway in to

Angels office and seem to be deep in conversation. Angels all in black and Giles are in his

suit. DAWN, WILLOW and XANDER sit around the table playing cards. Dawn is wearing

jeans and a white blouse and looks adorable. Willows all in black and so are XANDER.

SPIKE and AERIN sits on the couch, snuggling. Spike is deliciously hot in jeans and a black

shirt while Aerin is cute in a loose sitting black woolen skirt and a white blouse.

The CAMERA FOCUSES on Spike and Aerin for a while.

SPIKE

(caressing Aerins cheek)

You gorgeous thing.

AERIN

(snuggling at his neck)

Not as gorgeous as you, Spikey-po.


FAITH

Gag.

(leaning in on Buffy to whisper)

I see what you mean. Its so sugar coated that its enough to send one into a coma.

BUFFY

(unease)

Right there with ya.

We follow the two slayers as they exit the lobby and steps outside. We can now see that the

sun is up and that it seems to be midday.

BUFFY

(furtive glance)

So, Faith What really happened in Cleveland?


36/44

FAITH

It was bad, B.

(distressed look)

I mean realbad.

BUFFY

(touching Faiths arm)

Im sorry. If Id only known

(retrieving her hand)

Then I couldve

The CAMERA STAYS with them as they turn to walk back in to the lobby. Faith turns her

head to look at the blonde slayer.

FAITHYoud what? Come to my rescue? Nah, B, you had done enough. It was my time to shine.

(sniffle)

And what I lousy job I did at that. But hey- we managed to beat down the bad guy.

(eyes downcast)

Even tough we lost so many on the way.

BUFFY

(deep breath)

Im sorry about, Robin, Faith. I know how much he meant for you.

ZOOMING IN on Faith and the aching expression in her face. (A.N: Sure, Faith can come

across as this hard ass chick, but deep inside shes just as insecure and vulnerable as anyone

else. And even tough she hasnt been the nicest girl around guys we can so see that Robin

Wood really meant something to her. Poor Faith)

The CAMERA PULLS BACK to a WIDE SHOT of the scene.

FAITH

Thanks.

(ragged breath)

Hey, we both know something about losses, right?

BUFFY

(looking over at Spike)

We sure do.

FADE OUT-


37/44

CUT TO-

INT. THE LOBBY THE HYPERION DAY

SPOTLIGHT on the table and WILLOW, XANDER and DAWN. They have obviously

abandoned the cards in favor of some reading. Research??

DAWN

(sighing)

This is sooo boring.

WILLOW

(looking up)

I know, Dawnie.

(sad smile)But dont you want to find a way to help Spike?

DAWN

More than anything.

(blinking away a tear)

I am not ready to lose him again.

XANDER

(laying down his book)

How crazy it may sound Neither am I.

ZOOMING IN on Dawn as she fires of a bright smile at her friend. Then, suddenly, we can

see the perplexed expression on her face right before she screams out as in agony and falls

to the floor.

XANDER

(distresses)

Dawn!!

WILLOW

(shrieking)

Dawn!!

The CAMERA SHOWS us a WIDE SHOT as Willow and Xander kneels besides the writhing

girl. BUFFY comes rushing from Angels office. Behind her follows the vampire and GILES.

Buffy falls to her knees besides her sister with a terrified look in her face.


38/44

BUFFY

(shouting)

Dawn!!

(shaking her sister)

What happened?!

FOCUS on Dawn as she opens her eyes and shakes her head as if to clear it.

DAWN

(grimacing)

Another vision.

BUFFY

Oh my god

GILES

(concerned)

What did you see?

DAWN

I saw whats to come

(blinking)

We need more slayers.

(looking up)

A lot of slayers.

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

INT. FAITHS BEDROOM THE HYPERION DUSK

ALL LIGHT on Faith as she stands by the window. Then we hear a sound and the CAMERA

TURNS to a WIDE SHOT as ANGEL walks into the dark room.

FAITH

ANGEL

39/44

FAITH

(turning to face him)

(sitting down)

Im sorry about Wes. And Fred. And Gunn Cordelia

ANGEL

(clenching his fists)

They died because of me.

FAITH

(shaking her head)

They died because they believed. In you.

The CAMERA FOLLOWS Angel as he walks over the floor to join Faith by the window.

They both turn around to look out at the darkness on the other side of the glass. Its raining.

They stand there, side by side, two black clothed figures.

ANGEL

Either way theyre gone. And all thats left

(deep breath)

are an egoistic god king and a blonde thorn in my side.

FAITH

(lopsided grin)

I heard that said blonde thorn was in heaven. What do you make of that?


40/44

ANGEL

I dont know.

(brow knit)

But I do fear the outcome if he truly are transforming into some kind of god.

FAITH

(furtive glance)

But wouldnt that make him a valuable fighter in the upcoming war?

ANGEL

(closing his eyes)

It would.

(sighing)

But which side would he be on?

FADE OUT-

CUT TO-

INT. DAWNS BEDROOM THE HYPERION NIGHT

DOOR POV: BUFFY enters the bedroom and walks towards the bed in which DAWNS in. at

first we can only see the slayers back but as she takes a seat on the bedside we get a profile.

And she looks really tired and concerned. Dawn seems to share these emotions.

BUFFY

(quietly)

Are you okay?

DAWN

(nodding)

I guess.

BUFFY

(hesitantly)

These visions Do they hurt?

DAWN

(shuddering breath)

Yes.

FAITH

(furtive glance)

Can I ask you a question?

THE FIRST

(shrugging)

FAITH

Why him?

ZOOMING IN on the two of them as the First turns around to look down at Faith. Faith

meets his gaze dead on.

THE FIRST

(raised eyebrow)

(running a hand down the tones chest)

I like the body.

FAITH

(rolling her eyes)

THE FIRST

(smirk)

Still want to pop me like warm champagne?

FAITH

In you dreams.


43/44

THE FIRST

(benevolently)

Indeed.

FAITH

So Why him?

We follow the First with a STEAD CAM as it crosses the floor to take a seat on her bed. He

looks over at the slayer and pats the spot next to him.

The CAMERA RETURNS to a WIDE SHOT as Faith slowly walks over there and takes a seat

next to it.

THE FIRST

(tilting his head)

Understanding your opponents weaknesses is important in everything.

FAITH

(quizzically)

Then what are yours?

THE FIRST

(laughing)

None of your damn business.

FAITHIs Spike your weakness?

(hidden grin)

I heard he knocked you down.

THE FIRST

(grimacing)

It was most irritating.

FAITH

(raised eyebrow)

Are you afraid of him?

THE FIRST

(shaking his head)

Not really.


44/44

FAITH

THE FIRST

Im more concerned about you.

(meeting her gaze)

And your precious friends.

FAITH

(tensing)

THE FIRST

(leaning closer)It will kill you all.

A CLOSE UP on Faith as she seems to recoil from the words. Then we have a WIDE SHOT

again. The First is nowhere to be seen.

FAITH

(ragged moan)

Oh my god.

THE FIRST/SPIKE(voice over)

No, not yet. But soon.
