EXT – GRAVEYARD – NIGHT
Kennedy and the other slayer’s have evidently lost Spike somewhere along the way as they stand alone in the dark.
RONA
Man I’m sick of this
KENNEDY
Being baby sat?
RONA
Being treated like a Dawn
VI
What?
KENNEDY
You know, wrapped up in cotton, protected by the grown ups…
The Slayers laugh amongst themselves as Dawn hides back behind the tree from which she was about to emerge.
KENNEDY
Is that Buffy and Willow?
Kennedy points over to the two of them both storming along and flapping their arms around
KENNEDY
Willow!
Willow stops and looks over to Kennedy, smiling.
BUFFY
Go on! Go sleep with the students
WILLOW
Go jump a corpse
BUFFY
I might just do that!
WILLOW
(sarcastic)
Bye!
Willow leaves Buffy standing as she greets Kennedy. In the background we see Buffy stamp her feet and storm off
WILLOW
(kiss)
Hey sweetie
KENNEDY
Hey
WILLOW
(jokey)
Whatcha’ doin’ in a grave yard at night, it’s no place for little girls!
RONA
Our baby sitter won’t let us patrol alone
WILLOW
Oh
(beat)
Buffy? She’s a bitch
KENNEDY
Will!
WILLOW
You know you think it
KENNEDY
She was talking about Spike
WILLOW
Oh, well, uh, bully to him he’s sleeping with her, let’s go someplace else
KENNEDY
Told you she was hot
Kennedy and Willow link arms as they lead the way
RONA
(mocking)
Told you she was hot
Buffy is stood with Spike on the other side of the yard. Spike is leaning against a tomb, casually lighting his cigarette
BUFFY
Where are they going? She’s supposed to set an example, this is so typical of her!
SPIKE
Let it go, pet
BUFFY
I will not let it go! She’s a loose cannon, a…a…a rotten apple, an odd ball
(off look)
Or…something more mean. She’s a big meany!
SPIKE
A big meany?
BUFFY
Yeah a big red-headed, cradle snatching meany
SPIKE
If Willow’s a cradle snatcher for going with someone three years younger than herself, what does that make me?
BUFFY
You’re dead it doesn’t count
SPIKE
Right
DAWN
Buffy…
BUFFY
Where did you come from?
SPIKE
Key
BUFFY
(rolling eyes at Spike)
Tonight
(to Dawn)
Where did you come from tonight?
DAWN
Home
BUFFY
You have school tomorrow
DAWN
So do they
BUFFY
They have special needs
DAWN
(looking sad)
I forgot my keys
BUFFY
(reaching into Spikes pocket)
Here
SPIKE
Hey!
BUFFY
No go do your homework
DAWN
(down)
Sorry
Dawn walks off, not looking back as she drags her feet
SPIKE
Why you gotta be so hard on the kid?
BUFFY
She’s not a kid Spike
SPIKE
So then stop treatin’ her like one
BUFFY
She’s seventeen
SPIKE
So? If I remember correctly I met you when you were sixteen, didn’t stop you beating the crap out of me when you should’ve been tucked up in bed
BUFFY
That’s different, I’m the slayer
SPIKE
Right, were you being the slayer when you were seventeen? You know, when you woke Angelus up?
BUFFY
What?
(uh oh)
How dare you bring that up, that is nothing to do with you
SPIKE
I seem to remember it had quite a lot to do with me at the time
BUFFY
I’m leaving
SPIKE
(rolls eyes)
Buffy, I’m sorry I didn’t mean…
BUFFY
I’m leaving
SPIKE
Suit yourself then
(shouting after her)
Maybe you can talk to me when you’ve lost the attitude
(to self)
Moody bint
CUT TO.
INT – SUMMERS HOUSE – NIGHT
Dawn enters quietly lookin at the clock.
DAWN
Midnight, still early
(looks around)
Anybody home?
(through to the lounge)
Buffy, Willow?
(pause)
Spike?
XANDER
Hey!
Dawn screams as she punches Xander in the face
XANDER
Ow!
DAWN
Sorry!
(panicked)
Sorry, I…don’t sneak up on me like that
XANDER
Believe me, it’s the last time
DAWN
Wait, what are you doing here?
XANDER
Oh, uh…I left something, my…
(Xander grabs a pen from the table)
Pen
DAWN
Lonely at the apartment huh?
XANDER
Andrew’s at Tucker’s, it’s his birthday
DAWN
Well, you wanna watch a straight to cable movie and diss -slayers?
XANDER
Perfect, I’ll get the popcorn and marshmallows!
DAWN
Cold
XANDER
Cold popcorn?
DAWN
Cold Marshmallows, they don’t like microwaves
XANDER
I won’t ask
DAWN
It’s best you don’t
XANDER
Hey if I don’t have to fix it, then I’m happy
Dawn giggles as Xander dashes off to the kitchen, her face drops as she flicks on the news
DAWN
Xander!!!
XANDER
(rushing in)
What? What is it?
(ON TV)
MAN
Police were called into central Sunnydale this evening after what seemed like a standard girl fight lead to mass vandalism – here, at the scene of the riot, police have failed to calm the situation.
The man moves to one side to reveal Buffy and Willow hurling chairs and tables at each other with muscle and magic
XANDER
Oh god!
Spike enters from behind them looking pissed
SPIKE
Great, a night in with two of the three stooges…is that Buffy?
XANDER
We need to get over there
SPIKE
I don’t think so mate, you reckon it’s wise steppin’ in on builder Barbie and Sabrina goes retro?
XANDER
He’s got a point
DAWN
No he doesn’t
XANDER
(unsure)
No he doesn’t
DAWN
That’s my sister and your best friend
(to Spike)
and your…what are you two?
SPIKE
Something else, that’s for sure
DAWN
Great save it for an after school special, Xander…we might need some form of capturing device
SPIKE
Who died and made you the leader?
DAWN
If we don’t move now, try asking that question again in about an hour
CUT TO.
EXT – ESPRESSON PUMP – NIGHT
VI
Should we do something?
RONA
You’re kidding right?
VI
They’re going to kill each other
CARIDAD
We wouldn’t stand a chance
KENNEDY
Well I’m not waiting around any longer
VI
Kennedy no!
KENNEDY
Vivian, get out of my face
VI
Spike left me in charge and you’re not getting involved
(deep breath)
that’s an order
DAWN
It’s okay we’re here
RONA
(to Kennedy & Caridad)
Hooray! No nothing can go wrong
VI
Rona!
RONA
Sorry captain Scarlet!
CARIDAD
Captain Scarlet?
KENNEDY
Surname
XANDER
Girls, I’m under strict orders from mini Buffy to quote “get you the hell out of here”
KENNEDY
Dawn? You think we’re gonna do what she tells us? Who does she think she…
Kennedy turns to find Spike right in her face
SPIKE
Go. Away.
KENNEDY
Make me.
SPIKE
Don’t think I won’t little girl
Kennedy looks furiously into Spike’s eyes before storming off with the rest of the girls
VI
You sure you can handle this?
DAWN
We’ll cope
VI
(smiles)
Okay
Vi runs to catch up to the other girls.
XANDER
Man, I really miss Tara
SPIKE
You’re telling me
DAWN
Buffy!
Buffy growls as she hurls herself at Willow, the two are bundled on the floor pulling each other’s hair
BUFFY
Not now Dawn!
WILLOW
Dawnie, be a good girl and pass me that rock
DAWN
Buffy stop it!
(beat)
Willow, Is that my shirt?
Buffy grabs at Willow again and tears the shirt open at the sleeve
BUFFY
I’ll buy you a new one
Willow pushes Buffy off, catching her necklace on her watch.
XANDER
Enough!
SPIKE
If anyone needs’ their bloody heads bashing together…
Spike steps over and knocks the girls together, both fall back
BUFFY
What the hell are you doing?
WILLOW
Spike!
SPIKE
I can’t bloody win!
Buffy and Willow both look around confused at the state of the street
WILLOW
What happened here?
XANDER
You don’t know?
WILLOW
No, I…
BUFFY
I don’t remember a thing, was it a demon?
SPIKE
Something like that
END OF PART THREE
INT – SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL – DAY
Buffy and Willow are sat in Principal Woods office as he march’s around them
PRINCIPAL WOOD
Now, I know you girls are under a lot of stress
WILLOW

BUFFY

PRINCIPAL WOOD
I know it can sometimes cause tension in a relationship but I’d appreciate if you kept your personal lives outside of the work place
WILLOW

BUFFY
Noted and revised.
PRINCIPAL WOOD
Good
(beat)
Well, I guess you’re dismissed
Buffy and Willow step out solemnly until the door closes behind them. At which point they burst into laughter.
WILLOW

WILLOW
Oh, um, No not at all

Buffy leaves Willow as she goes over to Dawn who is sat alone at the lunch table.
BUFFY
Hey…
DAWN
It’s my lunch break okay, I’m not flunking
BUFFY
I know
(sitting next to her)
Dawn, I’m sorry for the way I was the other night
DAWN
Yeah
BUFFY
I am! I don’t know if it was a spell or if Willow and I have spent so much time together our bodies are in sync but…it wasn’t me
DAWN
I know
BUFFY
Why aren’t you with the others?
Dawn looks over at Kennedy and Rona laughing around in a circle, Vi catches her eye and smiles over
DAWN
Felt like some alone time
BUFFY
Is that a hint?
DAWN
(laughing)
No, you can stay
RJ begins to walk over with his hands in his pocket, he’s evidently nervous
DAWN
Now go away!
BUFFY
Right, I’ll see you tonight
(coming back)
Oh, here…
Buffy reaches into her pocket
BUFFY
I fixed your necklace…almost
Buffy drops the taped up chain into Dawn’s hands
BUFFY
Leaving, see ya Loser, um, RJ!
Buffy skips off and rejoins Willow as RJ sits by Dawn
RJ
Hey Dawn
Dawn says nothing
RJ
So, I was wondering do you want to go out some time?
DAWN
(cold)
I’ll get back to you
RJ
Cool
RJ gives a disappointed smile and crawls away. Dawn smiles to herself excitedly.
CUT TO.

I tried to fix your shirt
DAWN
You and Buffy…you’d be bad maids
Dawn smiles at Willow and then goes into her room, she slips her dressing gown over the chair and climbs into bed, instantly falling to sleep.
her body, the dressing gown and the door handle, her comb and everything else she’s been in contact with is glowing a blinding green shimmer.
