Paper, Scissors, Stone
"Oh my god, make is stop!" Dawn squeals to herself as she flaps he arms about.
She's just knocked a candle over in her dorm room and her dressing gown has caught fire.
Thalia walks in holding a pile of books, she throws them down rolling her eyes than holds her hand over the top of the fire, a small cloud forms in thier dorm room as it begins to rain and the fire goes out.
"You'd be dead without me" Thalia jokes as she walks back over to her bed.
"erm...Thalia" Dawn says concerned "No need to thank me" she replies
"No, look!!" Dawn indicates the ceiling where Thalia has left the cloud running, the rain is getting heavier.
"Damn! I can't think how to stop it...!Sun!!!" Thalia says raising her hands.
"Okay, not working, Stop, Stop!!!" the cloud shrinks up and stops raining.
Dawn is soaked to the bone as she looks at Thalia rather unamused
"Sorry" shrugs Thalia ringing the water from her braids.
There;s a long pause before a knock at the door "Come in" Thalia says loudly.
"In Vampire central, good idea" says Dawn clearly pissed at Thalia.
"Girls, I hope..." the college dean is cut off as she looks around the room open jawed "What the hell happened in here?!" She gasps in her rich British accent.
"Is it that bleeding plumbing again?!" she says shaking her head and slamming the door shut.
Thalia and Dawn take a moment then look at eachother laughing.
"Come on we'd best go dry...us" smiles Dawn pulling Thalia up from the chair she's sunk in.
The two walk out laughing at the situation.
Thalia has left her college newspaper open on the bed, headline reading "Library Close - owner though dead"

"I can't believe I am doing this" Dawn says peeking her head over the top of a bush "What the hell am i meant to be looking for?"
"We've been sitting here for three hours" moans Thalia.
"Will you two shut up" spits Belinda darting her eyes towards them "Whatever happens, happens soon"
"Only child!" Thalia jokes.
Belinda spins round and glares at her "Are you trying to imply that I'm spoilt?"
"If the shoe fits" she replies.
"You know, you're new to this and If you ever plan to be a proffesional journalist..."
"I don't"
"Me neither" Dawn speaks up from the back.
"Then stop blocking my way and let me take the damn photgraph"
"Theres nothing to take a photograph of...it's grass"
"Look, Salt 'n Pepa, if you don't want to be here then don't be here"
"Fine" Dawn & Thalia speak in Unison walking off.
"Come back here" Belinda calls out desperately.
Dawn & Thalia continue across the field as they cross paths with rather attractive young man, both turn to check him out and see he has walked into the bush they were just hiding in.
Both smile at eachother then run back over.
"Hi, Bell, we're back" smiles Dawn enthusiastically
"Yeah, we were just playin' wit y'all" Thalia says rather goofily
"Whatever, just take the photographs"
Thalia begins taking photo's of Ryan's behind as he crouches down. He spots her and laughs.
"Ryan" he says putting his hand out for a shake.
"Summers...um...D...Da"
Thalia stops Dawns fumbling "Dawn Summers and I'm Thalia Maria Cerise Bennett"
"Long name" laughs Ryan
"You missed Pertunia" Dawn says.
"Funny, Dawn!" Thalia says through her teeth covering up.
"Guys, when you're done with the practically humping our Senior Photographer you think we could notice the severe demons on the grass"
all three look over in shock "We gotta go" Dawn and Thalia speak in Unison again dropping thier cameras.
"No, you gotta stay" Belinda says pulling them back down.
"But..."
"You scared of the demons?" Belinda laughs
"It's just some guy in a costume, the paper hires them to make headlines, but keep that on the D.L"
"Maybe it's just what she said, costumes" Xander says as Dawn flustersa round him.
"Even if it is. Illegal much!!" Dawn says desperate to get someone to help with her investigation.
"Why don't you ask Faith, you know...she of the super strength"
"I would normally, but, I don't wanna get all in her face. I mean, she's only been alive for a month"
Faith is sat in her kitchen mixing up a cake mixture. She looks at it in disgust.
"I am So bored, god, you die for five minutes and everyone dissapears"
She walks over to the phone and pushes down on the speed dial number for Dawns cell.
**Hi it's Dawn, can't answer right now, probably killing something**
"Great" sighs Faith placing the phone back on the receiver.
Dawn is walking along the street with her cell in her hand as she presses the cancel button.
"Great. One time you try to call, she's engaged"

COMMERCIAL BREAK
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"You know, this whole stalking thing?...getting tired" Faith says as she boots a demon to the ground.
"You tell those Elders people, that they can throw whatever the hell they want at me"
she snarls with another boot to the face.
"Just, not in May. It's tired and I plan to vacation"
she says finally stabbing him into the gut and throwing him down.
Thalia is laying on the ground she raises her hand and shoots a bolt of lightning through the neck of another of the demons causing it to snap.
Faith walks over and reaches out her hand
"We're gonna have to stop saving eachother like this" Faith jokes.
"What are you doing?" Thalia asks suspiciously.
"Those Elders guys, they're not gonna stop til they kill you or we kill them..." Faith starts lighting a cigarette.
"Thing is, sure, only last month you tried to feed me to my zombie Mom, but you came through"
the two slowly begin walking off.
"Also, you can't be part of this group until you redeem yourself for something or almost kill everyone...unless you're Xander"
"What about Dawn?" Thalia asks
"Believe it or not, when she was fourteen she could end the world by bleeding"
the two walk off into the night as A woman with Blonde hair, possibly in her late twenties, steps out of the bushes holding a Camera and smiling.
"Hello?..." Garrison calls out leaning over the bar. "Andrew>?"
He looks around briefly before graabing a notepad, leaving a message for Andrew.
'Came round to say Hey, you're not here. You know that. Catch ya later. G ~ X'
Leaving the note on the counter for Andrew to find it, Garrison leaves.
Andrew is being held behind the door, a Demon has his hand across his mouth to prevent him from screaming.
"Please, Please come with me, Please" Dawn says pulling on Thalia's arms.
"No way girl! I told you yesterday I aint no fool and I will work my ass of somewhere else to repair our room I am not working on that paper with 'Bell-end-a'"
"Fine" Dawn huffs
"I saw Faith last night" Thalia subtly drops in.
Dawn looks uncomfortable "How is she?"
"She's live and kicking, she misses you guys"
"We haven't gone anywhere"
"No, I know, she just feels...since she died and then un-died, you've been avoiding her. Like you weren't happy"
"Of course I'm happy, it's just...weird"
"Not weird in the doesn't happen sense...I mean...Bunny right?"
"Buffy! and jesus...how long did you guys talk?"
"Long enough for her to tell me that she's hurting. She hasn't been seen by anyone except for Travis and Garrison since...and me. She's not known any of us more than a two months. I even tried to kill her!"
Dawn looks guilty "I'll see her tonight. Promise"
Thalis looks unsure "Don't promise me, promise her" she says tapping the side of her head and walking off leaving Dawn to enter the photo lab.
"Oh, Hey Ryan!" Dawn perks up.
"Hey!...Summer right?"
"Dawn...Summers. Dawn Summers"
"Right, Dawn, sorry" he smiles as he dips the paper into the developing ink.
"Whatcha doin'?" asks Dawn gushing.
"Just developing some photographs for the Head of the Paper. You know, for a student paper, it's not all that student friendly"
"How so?" asks Dawn cluching her pads and books.
"Well, the editor and head or, everything is a twenty eight year old, former photographer. She gets the last on everything that goes in"
"Like what?" Dawn says suggestively twisting her hair around her finger.
"Well, like Belinda was saying?...hiring actors and stuff to play a Berghetzar Demon and..."
"Hold on, a what?"
Ryan looks at Dawn and smiles "Nothing, you'll just think I'm some geek or something"
"Try me, you'd be surprised" smiles Dawn
"Well, I've read a lot of stuff and got all these theories and..."
"Wait a minute, who took that picture?" Dawn calls loudly indicating a photograph hanging on the line.
"Linda, the editor, hired these stunt double last night...why?"
"They're not stunt doubles!!" Dawn says pulling the photograph down.
"Look, that's Thalia there"
"Who's the other girl?" Ryan quizzes
"She's my Si...My friend...Faith"
Ryans eyes widen at hearing the name "Faith? The Vampire Slayer?"
Dawn arches her eyebrows almost in shock.
"You know about Slayers?"
"Hell yeah!! I've been reading up on them for years. I know all of it...and I know..."
"You know demons and all the ghouls are real?"
"Yeah, I know that too...and...God, this is so cool to meet a girl I like who doesn't find this freaky"
"a girl you like?" asks Dawn
"Yeah, I think we're gonna be good friends You and Me!"
Dawn looks dissapointed "Friends? Right"
Ryan looks on at the photograph in amazement "Wow...hey, Summers?...Buffy Summers?!!"
Dawn looks embarrassed "Sister, she's My Sister"
Ryan looks confused "You're not Faiths Sister?"
"No, Buffy's...well, she's mine anyway"
"Cool!" Ryan nods smirking to himself
"Ryan, you can't tell anybody"
"I won't, you have my word!...In blood if you need it"
"No, orals fine...verbal!!! verbal is fine!! God, it's the meat party all over again!"
"Huh?" Ryan seems baffled.
Dawn shakes it off "Nothing, can we focus on the big picture here!"
"You mean, the picture that suggests your friends are making the next headline and Linda has actually been hiring or...summoning genuine demons?" replies Ryan rather matter of fact.
"Actually, yes. I mean, way to get your headlines"
the two stand in silence trying to figure a plan.
Andrew is stuck behind the bar as the demon creeps around him "I got word that you've been trading with The Slayer"
"Well...don't you think you should back off or she'll kick your Special FX looking butt all the way to Deep Space 9!!!" Andrew swears nervously
"You think she'll come for you? Any of you?...You all left her, why should she make the move?"
Andrew looks nervously "What do you want me to do?"
"You're going to be my...runner. You will be collecting my sacrifices or you will be my sacrifice" the Demon smiles licking his gums.
"Faith, she's probably just...freaked out!" Garrison says looking up at Faith over a glass of coca cola.
"Why does she get to be freaked out? I'm the one that died and shrank!!! I'm like a sweater!!" Faith says sharply.
"I don't understand"
"Die...like Dye...and..." Faith sees the blank look across his face "Forget it, it's lost effect"
"Garrison, you ever get that feeling that...something bad is gonna happen unless you stop it?"
"You mean like the one I have about Andrew?...sure, semi-telepathic remember?!"
"Really? now that is worthy powers...I can...it stuff and run fast...kinda like a truck" Faith jokes.
"You're chosen though, thats a plus, special girl!!" he laughs "I'm from a long-line of demons who hate me for being ...gay and stopping the child factor"
Faith looks at him in semi-understanding.
"So, Faith, you wanna hump and get my family off my back?" Garrison attempts to keep a straight face.
"Sure, I need release" Faith says in a serious tone as she stands up and walks to the bedroom door.
Garrison looks scared until she laughs "Not even if you weren't dating the Boy Wonder!" she laughs
"We#re not dating...we're...more"
"No such thing as Love" Faith shrugs.
"It's not love, No, it's connected...like I can feel him and..."
"G, I don't really do the Dynasty crap, try Xander"
"He's gone..." Faith looks blankly at Garrisons comment "...to see Anya?"
"Right, Anya...how could I forget?!" Faith blurts out with a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Jealous" Garrison remarks "Get bent...I mean, get straight" Faith jokes as she throws a cushion at him.
The two take a moment before getting rather disturbed looks on thier faces.
"I gotta go" they say in Unison before running out of the door.
Dawn and Ryan are rummaging through Lindas office shining a torch, so to not attract attention.
"Someones coming!" Dawn whispers rather loudly, Ryan grabs her round the mouth and pulls her into the closet.
Linda enters followed closely by Belinda
"You know what to do!" Linda smiles at Belinda, who's eyes are beginning to change to a strange shade of purple.
"Kill them all, get the girl alone"
"I knew it, I knew she was a demon" Dawn lets out, Ryan graabing her around the mouth sharply.
"Sorry" Dawn whispers lightly as Ryan removes his hand, the two make of eachothers faces what they can as Ryan leans in for a kiss.
Before their lips meet the doors fling open and Linda smiles at them "Guests"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew is being held in the apartment above the bar, Blood is smeared up the walls.
The demon taunts him about being a killer as Andrew cries the walls lightly shake as the door tears off of it's hinges. Garrison is stood there holding his head.
"Get the Hell away from him, NOW!" Garrison calls out.
The demon launches at him but is thrown off before reaching within three feet.
Garrison stares at him raising his right arm, clutching his head tightly with the left, his nose begins to bleed and he is clearly straining.
The demon begins writhing in pain as Garrison clenches his hand, blood beginning to leave his ears also.
The beasts insides suddenly tear from inside him and splash across the wall.
Garrison falls clearly weak but immediately rushes to Andrews side. He clutches his head in his hand and pulls a shaken Andrew into him, rocking him gently as he cries
"I didn't want to die!" Andrew says crying by the bucket as Garrison rocks him, kissing him on the head laughing gently.
The room is full of dead rats, ripped open.
"What do we have here?" asks Linda pulling Dawn out by the hair.
"Get away from her" Ryan calls out, Belinda steps in and holds him against the wall by his throat before hurling him across the room.
"Ryan!" Dawn screams as two more students come in, purple eyes and pin her down.
Before they take form Faith crashes through the door.
"Hi, I'm here to talk copyright" she smiles.
Linda claps for the demons to stop "Who are you?"
"Lady, don't end people take picture of people you dont know...and get my good side next time"
"Oh, Faith it's you!" Linda smiles.
"It's me"
"You know eachother?" asks Dawn desperately.
"We were in prison together" Linda smiles.
"So, Faith, how've you been?"
"I died, shrank, almost got swallowed by the Hellmouth...you?"
"Well, I've just got me a small business going on here, nothing fancy" Linda says clapping again.
The three students burst from thier skin and go for the attack. Faith takes them on almost instantly killing one of them.
Dawn slips Ryan out of the door as Faith fights on. Linda sees clearly that she won't be winning and sprints via an exit in the closet.
Faith battles on into the corridor as the she is crashed through the door of the deans office.
"You'll have to pay for that" she demands leaping from her chair.
Faith sallutes her and rushes off to lure them outside. Garrison and Andrew have pulled up outside, Andrew is there to collect a CD from Dawn.
They pile Ryan into the car with Andrew as Garrison and a sword baring more than able Dawn, head back into the battle.
Faith continues battling on with Four demons as Garrison spins round to see another three approaching.
"Garrison, why do they look pissed off with you?" asks Dawn, sword at the ready
"I may have killed one earlier" the three of them battle as Thalia looks from her window.
"OoH, FIGHT!!!" she cheers leaping to the window and jumping down, four stories.
Immediately heading into the action four against seven, crowds begin to form.
slowly but surely they're beaten off, all of them seem to leave a large red stone in place of thier bodies, which Dawn gathers up.
The four heroes are ready to head back to the car as Linda's voice comes from all around them.
"You think you won this?...Scissors don't always cut it...especially when I have your rocks!!"
The four of them look confused before turning to see the car smashed up with both Andrew and Ryan missing.
-----------------------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Where are they?!?!" Faith says frantically burshing her hair away from her face.
"Faith, it's not your fault!" Thalia says forcefully.
"It is, I'm suppossed to be protecting those who can't protect themselves!!"
a fearful silence falls over the room
"It's not your fault Faith..."Dawn pipes up
"...but it's all our faults if we can't work together and get them back!"
Complete darkness hangs in the air as both Andrew and Ryan hang, top stripped, bloodied and bruised.
Linda walks amongst them, tapping Ryan's face gently.
"Don't worry boy's. You're not part of the big plan, I only have issues with her and her 'so called power'" Linda says.
She pulls out a dagger and scrapes it across both thier chests before drawing hearts in lipstick.
Walking out of a side door, Linda is stood in a large office style room, mahogany furnishing, scarlet drapes with gold trim...all very exquisit.
"It's done, we just need the girl and...the special ingredient" Linda says
"Fine...we've got all the time in the world" laughs a thick British accent.
The large leather chair spins to reveal the College Dean smiling.
The two exchange glances and smile wickedly as a man walks though the door
"Daddy!" calls Linda happily.
"Evening pumpkin" he says smoothly before walking over to the Dean, Anna.
"Darling" he says.
"Darling...Ethan" she smiles
we back out to the sign above her door
'Dean : Anna Rayne'
