CUT TO.

INT. BAR – DAY

Spike is sat at the bar as a young woman walks over to him.

WOMAN

Bit early to be drinking don’t you think?

SPIKE

Look who’s talkin’

WOMAN

Touché

SPIKE

You’re a vampire, right?

WOMAN

That bothers you?

SPIKE

I’m not close-minded, but I’m not Captain Cardboard either

(stands to leave)

So if you’ll excuse me

CUT TO.

INT. SPIKES HOUSE – DAY

Spike wonders through the door with a six pack. He grabs a note off the refrigerator

"Spike, gone to L.A back in a day! Don’t eat my yoghurt, it’s face cream! – Harmony xxx"

SPIKE

Special kid

He walks over to the fridge and stares inside, blood and nothing but

He stares at it for a long time before taking a deep smell. He slams the door shut and walks back over to the couch, opening his beer as he sits uncomfortably.

END OF PART ONE

EXT. GRAVEYARD – NIGHT.

Buffy launches herself off of the brim of a headstone and lands stake first into a vampire. She takes a breath as it explodes before she turns to duck another punch.

She smashes her fist into it’s stomach and then holds it’s arm as she kicks it in the face, flicking it back.

BUFFY

You know you guys should really get some lessons in not being bad at being bad

(frowns)

Or something more sensy!

Buffy stops and looks around as her phone begins to ring

BUFFY

Oh, that’s me!

BUFFY

Hello?

DAWN (O.S)

Are you coming?

BUFFY

Xanders in trouble, I have to save him

DAWN (O.S)

Xanders stood next to me

BUFFY

Oh, then Spikes…

(looks around)

Disappeared

(perky)

Maybe he’s in trouble! I should go and save him. Have fun at dinner!

DAWN(O.S)

Buffy!

CUT TO.

INT. SUMMERS HOUSE – NIGHT

Dawn is stood with a fed up looking Willow and an over excited Andrew.

DAWN

Looks like it’s just the three of us

WILLOW

That’s no fair!

DAWN

You’re telling me – she’s off saving Spike from imaginary doom while we face our own. These ‘new’ neighbour dinners never go well. When we first moved in Mom invited the old man across the street over and he choked then spewed pea soup up the wall

XANDER

Eww, Pea soup

DAWN

Yeah, personally I think it was all an act to get out of tasting Buffy’s "ash pie" previously known as Lasagne.

XANDER

Ah Buffy, a chef in the making

WILLOW

She can make cereal okay!

XANDER

That’s true – Buffy: Queen of the serial

WILLOW

(rolls eyes)

Come on, let’s get this over with

ANDREW

Guys what’s with the attitude? I’m excited!

XANDER

You get excited over new commercials!

ANDREW

Hey! The WB go all out when promoting their Sci-Fi shows!

XANDER

Sure they do

CUT TO.

EXT. GRAVEYARD – NIGHT

Buffy is wondering around the graveyard as shuffling comes from behind her. She spins round to see Spike coming towards her – his mouth is bleeding

BUFFY

Are you okay?

SPIKE

I’ll live

BUFFY

Let me see

Spike edges away

SPIKE

I said I’ll live

BUFFY

I just wanted to…

SPIKE

Any more vamps?

BUFFY

No.

SPIKE

Right.

(walking off)

Night then

BUFFY

(confused)

Goodnight

Buffy watches him walk off, Spike wipes his blood with his thumb – he looks for somewhere to wipe it, he licks it off instead.

CUT TO.

INT. GREENES HOUSE – NIGHT.

Willow is sat next to a hyperactive Andrew as Kye stares across the table – she passes a smile at him. He looks away. Willow is clearly baffled and a bit upset about this.

WILLOW

So…err…Kye, what do you think of Sunnydale?

KYE

It sucks

WILLOW

Oh, okay – well we have something in common then

KYE

Great

Dawn notices the tension and attempts to make a new conversation

DAWN

So, Rachel – you liking the High School?

RACHEL

The mirror called me fat today

Willow and Dawn look at each other in concern

RACHEL

So I put my foot through it

Willow looks pissed, Dawn laughs

DAWN

I think you’ll do fine round here

ANDREW

When are we gonna eat?

WILLOW

Andrew!

ANDREW

I’m hungry!

CUT TO.

INT. KITCHEN – NIGHT.

Mr and Mrs Greene are cutting up herbs and spices as Kye enters

KYE

What are you doing?

MRS. GREENE

Preparing dinner

KYE

I don’t see any

MRS. GREENE

It’s in the oven

KYE

Sure it is

CUT TO.

INT. SUMMERS HOUSE – NIGHT.

Buffy walks through the door to find that Xander is sat reading Dawn’s "Sassy" magazine.

BUFFY

Something you wanna tell me sassy girl?

XANDER

It’s educational

BUFFY

Sure it is

XANDER

What’s up?

BUFFY

Spike

XANDER

What did he do?

BUFFY

Nothing – he bled

XANDER

You beat him up?

BUFFY

No. Some random vampire, he just seemed –

(thinks)

Do men get premenstrual?

XANDER

Not often

BUFFY

Moody anyway

(sigh)

So – tell me Mr. Harris, you know that wonderful brick building you spent $100,000 on this summer – ya been there yet?

XANDER

Nancy’s sister is staying – she’s loud and extremely…loud.

BUFFY

Looks like it’s just the two of us then

XANDER

Looks like

Buffy looks around in silence

BUFFY

You wanna go out?

XANDER

Suits me

CUT TO.

INT. BAR – NIGHT.

SPIKE is sat at a bar with Clem – demons are all around, all whispering and looking over.

SPIKE

Take it I’ve done something wrong

CLEM

Ignore them, there – there’s just some rumblings about…

SPIKE

What?

CLEM

Just

(leans in)

apparently some creatures have an issue with you being human now

SPIKE

(Raises eyebrow)

Is that so?

Spike turns on his stool to face everyone else

CLEM

I don’t think that’s such a good idea

SPIKE

Yeah? Don’t care.

He stands up with his arms out and strolls across the bar with confidence

SPIKE

Apparently some of you have got a bit of a problem now that old Spike’s breathin’

DEMON #1

Shut up!

SPIKE

Don’t think so mate, you see – I can still kick it like the best of them, better in fact. Just coz I’m breathin’ doesn’t mean I’m human.

(looks at demon)

You wanna try me?

DEMON #2

I wouldn’t waste my energy

(looks him up and down)

You’re a waste of space, not even worth eating.

Spike frowns with a bit of a laugh before backing up slightly realising he’s serious.

He laughs again before taking his jacket off the back of the chair and storming out of the door.

CUT TO.

INT. GREENES HOUSE – NIGHT.

MRS GREENE lays a large platter of food out on the table and sits down – grinning at everyone. Rachel and Kye play with their food disgusted.

WILLOW

It looks great

MRS. GREENE

Thank you sweety

WILLOW

What is it?

MR. GREENE

It’s meat loaf

WILLOW

Oh.

MRS. GREENE

Is something…

WILLOW

No, I-it’s okay I’ll just have some of the vegetables.

MRS. GREENE

You’re a vegetarian? You should’ve said so

RACHEL

She did – twice, each time you asked.

WILLOW

It’s fine, really

ANDREW

Wow – Mrs Greene

(mouthful)

This is great – what meat is this?

MR. GREENE

It’s imported – from Thailand

ANDREW

It’s nice! Real…full

CUT TO.

INT. BRONZE – NIGHT

Buffy and Xander sit on the sofa’s next to an extremely passionate pair of sixteen

BUFFY

You ever feel really old?

XANDER

Buffy, you’re not even twenty four for three months

BUFFY

That just means that in fifteen months I’ll be on the border of "nearly thirty"

XANDER

Thirty isn’t old – eighty isn’t old. You went out with two people who were over a hundred years old – that’s old. You’re not old

BUFFY

I feel old

XANDER

You wanna move seats?

BUFFY

Muchly

XANDER

Actually, you wanna find some new place to hang out in? I mean – eight years in the same joint.

BUFFY

It is getting a bit central-perky

XANDER

Come on, I know a place

BUFFY

Do they have alcohol?

XANDER

Lots.

BUFFY

Lead the way.

CUT TO.

EXT. SUNNYDALE – NIGHT.

Spike is walking through the streets, getting increasingly annoyed that his lighter isn’t working.

SPIKE

Bloody thing!

He throws it on the floor – it makes a loud bang as the gas inside explodes.

He continues to work in an ever foul mood as he hears something fall behind him

SPIKE

Clem?

Nothing.

He looks around briefly before going to walk off – he stops as he finds himself face to face with the demon from the bar.

SPIKE

Right, we’re goin’ then are we?

The demon laughs as he nods his head up – Spike looks around as at least eight demons from around him.

SPIKE

Oh. It’s like that

END OF PART TWO.

----------------------

post this part as a reply!

INT. BAR – NIGHT.

Buffy is sat with a pretty pink drink as Xander sips on a pretty blue drink. A confused Buffy is moving straws, umbrella’s and god knows what else out of the way.

BUFFY

I’m sure there’s a drink in here somewhere

XANDER

They do like to schmancy it up

BUFFY

Schmancy is cool…sounds like Nancy

(thinks and laughs)

Nancy schmancy

XANDER

Yeah

BUFFY

Sorry – think I had one to many pretty pinkish purple things

Buffy sticks out her tongue with an "ah"

XANDER

You have a purple tongue

BUFFY

You have a blue one.

XANDER

No way

BUFFY

Seriously – stick out your tongue

He does.

BUFFY

See – it’s blue! Look!

XANDER

Ri Rahn’t

BUFFY

Huh?

XANDER

I can’t!

BUFFY

Well then you’re a silly

(pushes him)

You’re a silly Xander

XANDER

You’re a silly Buffy

SILENCE.

CUT TO.

EXT. SUNNYDALE – NIGHT.

SPIKE

Hardly fair odds is it

The demon smacks Spike in the face – he falls to the ground but gets straight back up.

SPIKE

Okay

Spike leaps over the demon and smacks him in the back as another demon comes up behind him and punches him in the back of the head, knocking him towards two other demons

DEMON #3

First you kill our kind – you fight demons

(punch in the stomach as he’s held back)

then you SEEK a soul

(another, harder punch – Spike is weak)

THEN you allow yourself to become human and show no regrets!

(hardest punch – this time in the face, Spike is bleeding)

They drop him to the floor as the demon boots him twice in the stomach and once in the head leaving a bloody and bruised Spike in a huddle on the floor

DEMON #1

Pathetic.

They walk away – as Spike passes out.

CUT TO.

INT. SUMMERS HOUSE – NIGHT.

Xander and Buffy fall through the door, leaving it open.

Buffy has a glittery party hat on – Xander has loser written across his forehead in Buffy’s lipstick.

BUFFY

You have something on your head

XANDER

Hair?

Buffy bursts out laughing as she falls down on the sofa, Xander lands next to her

BUFFY

No! Lickstop!

XANDER

Lickstop?

BUFFY

Lipstick! You have lipstick on your head

XANDER

That’s bad! Because Lipstick isn’t for heads it’s for feet

BUFFY

No silly it’s for lips! It’s lipstick for my lips

XANDER

Right that’s where it’s meant to be

BUFFY

I should put it there

Buffy kisses Xander on the head

BUFFY

Did it work?

XANDER

Nope

BUFFY

Okay!

She does it again – and again

BUFFY

(quiet)

Did it work?

Xander nervously shakes his head – Buffy goes in to try again but Xanders lips come up and meets hers – she doesn’t move away as the two lock into a kiss

DAWN (O.S)

They’re weird!

Buffy pulls apart immediately – both lock shocked

BUFFY

Nothing! What?

Dawn, Willow and Andrew stare at them

XANDER

It’s late – I should

BUFFY

You should and I… bed

Buffy dashes upstairs as Xander rushes out of the door

DAWN

So are they –

WILLOW

I can agree with that one

Dawn sits down where Buffy was

DAWN

You don’t think there’s anything weird about the Greene’s?

ANDREW

I like them

CUT TO.

INT. SPIKES HOUSE – NIGHT.

Spike stumbles through the door and heads for the fridge – he looks at the lack of food. Blood and nothing but

Spike begins to breath heavily, gritting his teeth as he squeezes the door so tight his hand begins to bleed

He tosses a glass across the room then grabs Harmony’s flask – bringing it to his mouth he takes a large gulp and stops, gagging, before taking a refreshing gasp.

He stumbles past the window and spots his reflection – blood around his mouth. His eyes widen in shock

CUT TO.

INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH – DAY.

Willow walks into Buffy’s office

WILLOW

Xander told me

BUFFY

(shocked)

He told you!

(covering)

He…He told you?

WILLOW

We’re over the Bronze? Figured it was due

BUFFY

Oh, that – yeah, so over it

WILLOW

What else was there to tell me?

BUFFY

Nothing

WILLOW

But you said…

BUFFY

How was dinner?

WILLOW

According to Andrew – great, According to Dawn – weird, according to me – glazed over, nodding and smiling.

BUFFY

That fun huh?

WILLOW

Yeah – I told them we’ll be over after school for snacks

BUFFY

We being?

WILLOW

You. I have detention

BUFFY

But…

WILLOW

…and I already told them what everyone’s doing so you have nobody to save.

BUFFY

(sulks)

I want detention

(thinks)

there’s something I never thought I’d say.

CUT TO.

INT. SPIKES APARTMENT – DAY

Harmony bursts through the door all happiness and light

HARMONY

Spikey! I’m home! I bought you some shirts – black, no patterns this time!

(looks around)

Spike?

She shrugs as she walks into the kitchen – the fridge is open and there’s blood on the floor.

HARMONY

Oh my god!

Harmony runs upstairs and bursts into Spike’s room – he’s asleep and there’s blood smeared across his sheets

HARMONY

Oh god! Spikey! Spike!

She slaps and he wakes up with a start.

SPIKE

Bloody hell woman!

HARMONY

I thought you were seriously stabbed to death! What is with the Carrie look?

SPIKE

The what?

HARMONY

The blood on the sheets

SPIKE

Oh, right – wrong movie and…rough night

HARMONY

That’s not your blood Spike – it’s mine, I can smell the vanilla

SPIKE

I tripped

HARMONY

And your throat landed on my flask? What’s going on?

SPIKE

Nothing.

HARMONY

Spike!

SPIKE

NOTHING!

Spike shoves Harmony as he walks out of the room

CUT TO.

EXT. GREENES HOUSE – DAY.

Andrew is knocking at the door with a large thank you basket full to the brim with muffins.

MR. GREENE

(opening the door)

Hi

ANDREW

Hey

MR. GREENE

Come in – we just baked

ANDREW

Ooh!

CUT TO.

INT. XANDERS APARTMENT – DAY.

Xander is sat by the phone – staring at it, next to him is a picture of himself, Willow and Tara with Buffy & Riley (and part of Anya’s finger over the lense).

He reaches for the phone as it rings

XANDER

Weird.

(answering)

Hello? Nancy – hey

CUT TO.

EXT. GREENES HOUSE – DAY

Buffy is knocking at the door, looking up at the window impatiently.

BUFFY

They’re not in, how will I sleep tonight?

Buffy shrugs and heads off to her house as the door opens

BUFFY

Oh, Hey

MR. GREENE

Can we help?

BUFFY

Snacks…err…Willow told me

MR. GREENE

We’re having an early dinner, perhaps another time.

BUFFY

Great – I mean, sure.

Mr Greene closes the door. Buffy looks confused but heads to walk away until she hears a scream

BUFFY

Andrew?

Buffy rushes back to the door and pulls on the handle

She steps back and kicks the door off it’s hinges.

Buffy runs through the living room and dining room before reaching the kitchen.

MRS. GREENE

What are you doing?

Buffy looks at her – she’s stood, shuffling her feet above a trap door

BUFFY

Excuse me – your mask is slipping off

Mrs Greene fingers her face in confusion

BUFFY

Demon! I knew it!

MRS. GREENE

Idiot!

She launches herself at Buffy who rolls past and slides through the trap door.

As she crashes down to the ground she sees Andrew – tied to a chair.

ANDREW

Buffy – I don’t like their cooking anymore

(thinks)

Oh god! I ate people!

END OF PART THREE

INT. GREENES HOUSE – DAY.

MR. GREENE

What are you doing here?

(smiles)

Are you dessert?

BUFFY

I don’t think so – but you’re about to get your Just…

(beat)

as in Desserts – does anybody get my puns these days?

(sigh)

Forget it – I’ll just kick your ass instead

Buffy flips over and kicks the meat cleaver out of Mr. Greenes hand. He springs his arm out and grabs her by the throat.

INT. GREENES KITCHEN – DAY.

MRS. Greene is about to head into the cellar as a large wooden ornament strikes her around the head. KYE and RACHEL are stood there.

KYE

You are not killing another set of our neighbours

MRS. GREENE

You think you can stop us? We’ve owned you since your parents signed the papers – you belong to us, you do not betray us

RACHEL

You know what "Mom" turns out that this town is on a Hellmouth…everyone is into pretty weird things so this…

Rachel lifts her sleeve to show a small mole – a silver mole with a blinking light.

RACHEL

This little controlling device it doesn’t mean anything when you have this

Rachel pulls a book out of her school bag

RACHEL

Courtesy of the weirdest school in the state – a spell book.

MRS. GREENE

Put that down

Kye takes the book from Rachel

KYE

Harcanimus rectus

MRS. GREENE

Stop it!

KYE

Macmanus ectom

Kye and Rachel smile at each other as the blinkers fall off

KYE

You know what else we learnt?

RACHEL

Self defense

Rachel smashes the safety glass on her "Fathers" weapon cabinet – she pulls out a sword and swings it down

CUT TO.

Buffy slams Mr. Green’s head against the table and smashes her foot down on the back of his neck – crack.

Buffy smiles at Andrew who is breathing incredibly heavy

BUFFY

You okay?

ANDREW

I need to pee – now.

CUT TO.

EXT. GREENES HOUSE – DAY.

Kye is cleaning the car as Buffy empties the rubbish.

BUFFY

(smiling)

Hey!

KYE

Hi

BUFFY

How’s things?

KYE

A week on? Things are okay. Rachel’s wearing less pale make-up and less piercings and I got a new job

BUFFY

That’s great

KYE

Listen, I never got to thank you

BUFFY

For killing your not-Dad? Don’t mention it.

KYE

We’ll have to go out some time

Buffy looks to the ground

XANDER pulls up in his car and looks at Buffy talking with Kye – he sees Kye laughing and takes a deep breath before driving off

BUFFY

So you understand?

KYE

Don’t worry I know all about – ‘someone else’ my last someone else ended really badly

BUFFY

What happened?

KYE

Let’s just say best friends should be…best friends, not girlfriends.

Kye walks inside as Buffy stands deep in thought as the sun shines down on her
