DAWN But… SPIKE S’up to you kid, keep dying slowly or live it large while you got it CUT TO.

What do you want? HANK Really, I don’t want to discuss this in front of your friend WILLOW That’s my cue to… BUFFY Stay WILLOW Okay. HANK Fine. If you want me to make it public BUFFY It wont’ be public – you see this girl has been my best friend for eight years and lived with me for three – I trust her, what I don’t trust is you. So cut to the chase HANK Just the same as your mother, always shooting off about… Hank is suddenly holding his nose as blood pours from it BUFFY Ever say anything about her again I will hit you so hard you’ll time travel HANK You’re insane and this just proves my case Hank starts to walk away HANK I’ll be by to collect Dawn tomorrow WILLOW Buffy what’s going on?

DAWN I discharged myself XANDER Wait, you’re trying to avoid death right?

What did he say? DAWN Talked about how to use myself XANDER That’s disgusting, I mean, I know you’re a little woman now but… DAWN (rolls eyes) My powers. He says I should use them XANDER You can use them? DAWN I don’t know, maybe – but if I can then I should, if I’m supposed to be so precious I must do something other than open that gate otherwise I wouldn’t have existed for thousand’s of years XANDER Wow. That’s the first time you’ve said that DAWN What? XANDER I DAWN I’ve said “I” lot’s of times XANDER Not when referring to the key DAWN Oh. Well yeah, I guess I just have to accept it – they key is me, I’m the key CUT TO. INT – BUFFYS HOUSE – NIGHT Dawn walks through the door with Xander, Willow runs straight over to her DAWN What’s going on? WILLOW Where’s Tara? Have you seen Tara? Xander and Dawn look at Willow like she’s lost the plot XANDER Time to take you off the preppy pills WILLOW She’s back – she…from the dead she’s back DAWN What? WILLOW It’s complicated – you had her top in your room and I thought it was yours and used it for your restoration spell, restoring life to the owner – but the owner wasn’t you. Just the hair in the brush and… XANDER Come up for air DAWN Tara’s back? XANDER Okay I see we have some catching up to do, does Buffy know?

She doesn’t have a legal choice XANDER She’s a person, yes she does BUFFY Xander I can’t do this, not all at… Buffy stops as her cell rings BUFFY Hello? FAITH Buff BUFFY Faith? XANDER Faith? Buffy raises her hand to asks Xander to stop for a moment BUFFY What is it? FAITH Somethin’s goin’ down B. I got back from L.A today there’s another one BUFFY Another what? FAITH Rona’s dead – inside’s out BUFFY Oh god FAITH We’re losin’ ‘em B Buffy hangs up the phone and stares into space XANDER Buffy what is it? BUFFY It’s…have you seen Vi? I need to speak with Vi XANDER What is it? What happened? BUFFY It’s Rona…she, she’s been killed XANDER Vampire? BUFFY Worse – get the gang together, we need to talk CUT TO. EXT – FOREST – NIGHT Tara is walking slowly through the forest as she comes across a rusted axe which is set in the floor. She walks a little further and find’s two trees, touching the bark she closes her eyes FLASH TO WHITE Willow Bored Now. Warren’s skin tears off FLASH TO WHITE Tara pulls her hand back and winces at the memory CUT TO. INT – BUFFY’S LIVING ROOM – NIGHT Xander, Andrew, Dawn, An anxious Willow and a tearful Vi are sat around as Buffy marches in front of them BUFFY Wow. I may be a little rusty I haven’t done one of these in a while SPIKE (O.S) Room for one more? Everyone turns to see Spike standing in the door way BUFFY (smile) Always Spike sits down next to Xander, they both give awkward understanding glares BUFFY Something’s happening – something big. A few weeks back I had a vision WILLOW Buffy? BUFFY Kendra – she came to me in my sleep she had the scythe and…then Robin gave me back the slayer bag, he sent me to the other dimension SPIKE Knew he was evil BUFFY He’s not evil. He sent me there to meet Kendra – she showed me slayers all over the world being killed off, but never showed me who was doing it. She took me to the hellmouth where Amanda died. Buffy walks more up front BUFFY It could be Glory. It could be The First – it could be something new, all I know is the best of the best are sinking and fast and we’re not going to let that happen. That will make this entire year and half a waste of time to lose everyone we saved. (pause) Vi, you’re moving in – I can’t risk you being at the manor anymore, Siobhan and Sarah are heading to Los Angeles tomorrow. I figure the more spread out, the harder we are to kill. (beat) This mean’s that I may have to skip down for a few days to check on the slayer’s – the coven, Willow, anyone we can find with power – I need them to set up a tracker spell, locate wherever the slayers are and what area’s the numbers are decreasing in. (longer pause) We’ve beat a Hell God and the thing that created evil, we’ll beat this. Everyone looks unsure and uncomfortable as the door slams shut and everyone turns around END OF PART THREE INT – WILLOWS ROOM – NIGHT Tara walks in as Willow bolts up and runs over, hugging her WILLOW Where’ve you been? I thought… TARA I’m sorry WILLOW No, no it’s okay I’m just relieved to have you back and… TARA I went to the forest where you killed Warren WILLOW (confused) Tara TARA I went there to try and…I don’t know why you did it WILLOW I wasn’t me Tara, it wasn’t my fault TARA Yes it was, I know you were grieving and I understand that, but it was your fault – you let yourself go that far by staying with the magic even after I broke up with you WILLOW But I…I stopped I got off it TARA Did you? WILLOW What does that mean? TARA Will, what you did…I can forgive you. I’ll always forgive you, but I saw it, the destruction – WILLOW What are you saying? TARA I can forgive (shakes head) But I can’t ever forget what you did Tara walks past, avoiding eye contact as she prepares for bed, Willow stares at nothingness CUT TO. INT – KITCHEN – MORNING Buffy is making breakfast for Dawn BUFFY You’re going to be late! Dawn comes running and grabs toast from the side DAWN I can’t believe you’re making me go to school when you and Willow are skipping it! BUFFY Willow’s spending time with Tara and I have to save the world again, but hey if you feel like it you can go get thrown around a graveyard in Indiana! DAWN I’ll skip it thanks HANK Knock, knock Hank steps in through the back door BUFFY What are you doing here? HANK I told you Buffy, don’t act like you can’t remember BUFFY Leave HANK I’m here to collect my daughter DAWN No! HANK Dawn, I’m afraid by law, after your Mom’s passing I’m your legal guardian BUFFY Don’t make me give Dawn orphan status. You have no right to claim her as your responsibility after three years of forgetting she existed! You wouldn’t be doing this if you hadn’t seen me kill that demon the other night! HANK Don’t start this again DAWN It’s true. She’s the slayer and she does this as her calling HANK Not you to! (to Buffy) I’m going to beat you – even if it means I have to do it physically Hank looks over to the door a little mystified GILES I’d like to see you try it and live END Special Guest Star Anthony Stewart Head

[> Subject: I'm with SpikesPet on the bounciness Author: Gemma [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 03:57:01 12/17/03 Wed You continue to amaze with how close these characters are. The dialogue is perfect and everything is unreal. Again I'm n ot sure if Spike is Glory. BUt knowing you now I'm thinking this again you'll change it again so it looks like someone else. And that ending gave me happy shivers. Just like when Giles turned up to fight EvilWillow in BTVS. If i had to pick a favourite out of all your fics I'd choose this one but it is a tough choice. I think this one captures exactly all that I enjoyed about BTVS. Now where's that Amberfield fic? Goes and checks again

[> Subject: Hank, Giles, Spike, Tara - all absent until now Author: MTsFan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:22:38 12/17/03 Wed Typical Spike, Buffy and VKMax - no communication building the problems in the story. Ooh. Bad Tara. Should change in front of Willow and tease her unmercifully. Go, Dawnie HANK You won’t need me to give you money. You’re coming to live with me DAWN I’m sorry did I just slip back down to hell and she's really gonna go grr argh about RJ stepson. Ooh, now Dawn's pissed at Buffy, too. Again for not telling something. Is Tara wary of Willow because she saw all that evil!Willow stuff? Aaah. SPIKE Hey, niblet, it’s her you need to be having this talk with He also lets her know about the power she has. Is it right she had no other way of knowing about it unless he told her its effects? Ooh. Buffy smacks Hank a good one. Too bad that just plays into his hand. LOL DAWN Talked about how to use myself XANDER That’s disgusting, big ooh! DAWN Oh. Well yeah, I guess I just have to accept it - they key is me, I’m the key More ooh. Killing off new Slayers. I guess you really didn't like Rona. Does scattering the Slayers make them harder to find, or easier to kill off piecemeal? I can see Giles appearing for something apocalyptic like evil!Willow. Does this imply the Hank is demonic, as in the host of Glory, that would warrant Giles' intervention? That seems to be a clue, so my vote for host goes to Hank. It also explains his sudden interest in Dawn.

[> Subject: Re: 8x13: Absentee Author: Nullafy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:52:55 12/21/03 Sun getting awesome! Tara <3! Willow <3! Way awesome! :D New slay ers getting killed of is something cool, I'd rather have a house packed with heaps of slayers. Nothing not even Caleb now could stand up to a room full of slayers with a Scythe! Ooh, who has the Scythe now? I forget. " XANDER Vampire? BUFFY Worse – get the gang together, we need to talk " It wasnt said what was doing this killing, 'inside out' implys some sort of mega strong gruesome beasty! I WANT NEXT ONE NOWWW!!!!! :D
