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
END.
