INT – BUFFYS LIVING ROOM – DAY

GILES
I think you need to explain some things to me

BUFFY
I think I do

Both of them sit and stare at the ground in silence

GILES
Today

BUFFY
Right

Buffy stands and paces a little

BUFFY
Christmas

GILES
I hardly think Christmas is an appropriate topic for discussion right now

BUFFY
Christmas is when he came back – just before. He bumped into me at the mall when Dawn was an elf and…

GILES
Dawns an elf?

BUFFY
Gonna let me finish before next Christmas?

GILES
Sorry, do continue

BUFFY
Anyone, things went on and last week, Dawn got taken to hospital and I was on my way there so he could see her when I saw Spike and he saw me slay a demon that attacked us

GILES
Spike saw you slay a demon – this is how this started?

BUFFY
Hank saw me slay a demon – anyway, he then said he was going to take Dawn away and this was all in the same night that Tara came back from the dead and…

GILES
Sorry to keep interrupting Buffy, I’ve taken this all in but…Tara?

BUFFY
You didn’t speak to her last night?

GILES
Between the sleeping and waking to threaten your Father, no I didn’t
(beat)
Did Willow…Is she…

BUFFY
Willow did and no she’s not, it was an accident – she was doing some form of spell to help Dawn keep things together and she used the wrong shirt or something, I don’t really get it – it’s been a hell of a week.

GILES
So it seems

BUFFY
Giles what am I going to do about him?

GILES
Right, yes, um – leave that to me?

BUFFY
Okay – what are you going to do about him?

GILES
Frankly I have no idea – but I imagine it will be extremely sarcastic and British

Long silence

BUFFY
Cool.

CUT TO.

‘Stockton, California’

A young woman is fighting a team of vampires outside a club as she hears screaming. She quickly dusts the vampires before running to assist a blonde woman – late twenties – Glory

GIRL
I heard screaming – are you okay?

GLORY
Sweetie, I’m more than okay

Glory smashes the girl down to the floor – a little shaken, the slayer leaps up and heads to attack Glory who spins her round by the arm, twisting it to a snap

GLORY
I’m friggin’ perfect

Glory digs her fingers into the girls head as light pours out – instead of letting the girl live a state she snaps her neck

GLORY
Sweet memories…
(beat)
You have a sister slayer in L.A…what do you know? I was just on my way

INT – SUNNYDALE HIGH – DAY

Dawn is strolling the corridors with Vi as students go by their every day lives

DAWN
It’s good to be back here you know?

VI
You know where we are right?

DAWN
Come on, like you wouldn’t miss this place if you died tomorrow

Silence

DAWN
Sorry, I didn’t mean…sorry

VI
It’s okay, I know what you mean and I would…miss it, not die tomorrow, I hope

DAWN
You’ll be cool. You’ve got the gang and trust me you can kick ass

VI
Even lop sided hell god ass?
(off look)
Spike

DAWN
We don’t know for sure that it’s Glory doing this

VI
But all the signs point that way

DAWN
That’s true but – hey we crushed her once

VI
Didn’t Buffy die?

DAWN
Well, yeah but…shh

VI
Okay new topic! You spoken to your Dad lately?

DAWN
He swang by for a couple of threats this morning before going to see his lawyer in L.A or something like that – he’s an idiot

VI
What about RJ?

DAWN
Not so much an idiot but…

VI
I meant did you speak to him?

DAWN
Oh, not yet but I will – today, I guess

VI
Nervous

DAWN
A little, if a little was doubled a few times

VI
Don’t freak out – he’s your sort of potentially former step brother – it’s not that twisted and you were grinding like a slut with him before he became that
(off look)
Buffy

DAWN
Argh!

CUT TO.

INT – MAGIC BOX – DAY

Tara is sat at the table with Xander. Andrew is staring at her from the counter

TARA
W-why doe she keep looking at me?

XANDER
He thinks you want to eat his brains

TARA
Oh

XANDER
Play it up, it’ll stop him from bugging you for a few days

Tara gives a smile to humour Xander

XANDER
I know, I know I’m losing the touch

TARA
No! Not feeling too humourful today

XANDER
How’s Tara’s first day of life been?

TARA
Lively, figuratively and literally

XANDER
Much as could be expected

Long pause

TARA
Sorry to, ss-sorry to hear a-about Anya

XANDER
(quiet)
It’s okay
(chirping up)
Sorry to hear about you! But hey look how that turned out – there’s hope yet

Tara laughs a little

XANDER
See, I am magic

TARA
Thanks, for being regular with me, Willow’s…

They both look over and see her manically cleaning everything in sight

TARA
Andrews…

Andrews ducks down after staring – trying to look like he’s busy

TARA
Special and Buffy’s…she’s the same.

XANDER
Good the same?

TARA
Distant the same

CUT TO.

INT – KITCHEN – DAY

GILES
Don’t you agree?

Buffy’s staring into the air

GILES
That I should cover the house in pink wallpaper and dance around in a silver gown

BUFFY
Sounds pretty

GILES
Buffy!

BUFFY
Sorry, what?

END OF PART ONE

‘Los Angeles, California’

Fred is walking through the streets as she comes across a young dead woman down an alley – her stake is on the floor next to her

CUT TO.

INT – WOLFRAM & HART – DAY

Fred is stood in the lab, talking on the phone

FRED
Angel is was horrible – she’d had her eyes ripped out, she was so young
(pause)
I don’t know, fifteen – maybe fourteen
(pause)
I know, I’ll call Willow…hang on I have another call
(pause)
Hello? Buffy…hey what’s…yeah I’m on the other line to Angel what’s…
(pause)
You don’t have to be so rude about it…hello?

Fred shrugs and switches back to Angels call

FRED
Get ready – Hurricane Buffy’s on the phone
(beat)
Yes, that’s why there was a beeping in your ear

CUT TO.

INT – SUMMERS KITCHEN – DAY

BUFFY
Thanks

Buffy hangs up the phone and walks back over to Giles

BUFFY
Turns out that little fit I just had, yeah I could feel death – but it wasn’t mine

GILES
Buffy?

BUFFY
Faith said she got a call about a slayer in Stockton this morning – Giles she’s doing a round the world tour

GILES
Another slayer?

BUFFY
Fred found one this morning in L.A…I was going to ask Angel to keep watch but I guess it’s too late. There are three slayers in Los Angeles, he’s going to try and find the other two tonight – Gunn’s on it now.

GILES
Gunn against Glory?

BUFFY
Gunn and Wolfram & Hart, she’s on her way back here Giles

GILES
You definitely think its Glory?

BUFFY
Oh I know it’s her! Why come back here Giles? She must know that we’ll be waiting for her

GILES
I don’t think she’d be afraid of that

BUFFY
We had the power to bring her back, we have the power to send her away – she has nothing to gain by coming back, by killing slayers

GILES
Except now – she’s getting revenge on you without having to receive a beating

BUFFY
She wants to kill these girls – she can go through me and Willow, fighter to fighter, goddess to skanky bitch!

GILES
What do you propose we do?

BUFFY
Get the sleeping bags Giles…

Buffy starts to walk off

BUFFY
We’re bringing them back in

GILES
You sure that’s wise

BUFFY
I don’t care. I’m going and collecting them myself – I’m leaving tonight.

GILES
What about…
(goes quiet and into himself)
Your father…

CUT TO.

INT – SUNNYDALE HIGH – DAY

Everyone’s leaving Willow’s class as Dawn tags behind

DAWN
Hey

WILLOW
Uh, hey Dawn

DAWN
You’re all spacey, not the Kevin kind

WILLOW
What, oh Kevin Spacey – joke ha

DAWN
Will…

WILLOW
Sorry, I’m just in a rush, want to get home to Tara and all

DAWN
Oh, I saw her at lunch she seemed okay

WILLOW
Wh…where was she?

DAWN
Xander’s taken her back to his place for drinks and meeting Nancy – she seemed keen

WILLOW
Oh

Willow slowly sits back at her table

WILLOW
Keen is good

DAWN
Will, she’ll be okay

WILLOW
I…I know I’m just, you know she’s all back and I’m all here and not there and…

DAWN
I have to get some work from Robin, I’ll tell him you threw up

WILLOW
Would you?

DAWN
But this means you’re making your special spaghetti tonight

WILLOW
From the tin it is?!

Willow kisses Dawn on the cheek

WILLOW
Thank you!

She runs off, bumping into RJ

WILLOW
Sorry…

RJ watches as she runs down the corridor

RJ
She’s…excited

DAWN
Yeah

RJ
Vi said you wanted to talk to me

Dawn looks over RJs shoulder and sees Vi waving

DAWN
Did she?

INT – RJS HOUSE – NIGHT

HANK
It doesn’t work like that! He can’t just stay out ‘til all hours Bev!

BEVERLY
He’s my son Hank you don’t tell me how to mother him after the way you treated yours

HANK
What did you say?

BEVERLY
Nothing.

HANK
It didn’t sound like nothing to me – you have no clue about me and my Daughters!

RJ (O.S)
What’s going on? How come he’s back so fast?

BEVERLY
Nothing, nothing…it’s…he…

RJ
Why are you holding her arm?

HANK
RJ she said it’s nothing now leave us to talk

RJ
You can talk once we have…about Dawn

Hank stares back at her as the phone rings

CUT TO.

INT – WOLFRAM AND HART – NIGHT

FRED
We’ve got both the other slayers here
(beat)
She is?
(pause)
Tomorrow…but I thought…I’ll check

Fred wonders over to an office door and leans in (we don’t see in because we can’t afford to get Boreanaz on for two lines)

Fred nods her head and walks back to the phone

FRED
Willow…yeah, apparently Buffy called – she’s collecting them tonight and then they’re heading on. Faith’s bringing Kennedy and the others over now.

CUT TO.

EXT – MINI BUS – NIGHT

Kennedy is stood at the side of the bus holding a tire – she’s talking into the door

KENNEDY
The borders just down the street okay – I’ll be twenty minutes or so

CUT TO.

EXT – LOS ANGELES/SUNNYDALE BORDER – NIGHT

Buffy is tapping her steering wheel impatiently as she waits for traffic to move she’s whistling ‘where do we go from here’

BUFFY
Come on…god this is slower than Harmony

A large crushing sound comes from behind, anxiously, Buffy stares out of the rear view mirror

BUFFY
…Okay Buffy’s losing it
(beat)
Again

Suddenly the roof comes tearing off of her car to reveal Glory

GLORY
Hey sweetheart did you miss me?

Glory grabs Buffy by the shoulders and tosses her over the top of the barrier, crashing to the floor, Buffy’s face is bleeding

Glory leaps over and lands next to her

GLORY
Let’s stick to L.A shall we – so much classier

CUT TO.

INT – BAR – NIGHT

Hank warily walks in to the only lit area of an old abandoned bar as he hears glasses clinking together

GILES
Drink?

Hank jumps back as Giles, in a flannel shirt, sleeves rolled up, smoking a cigar…lines up some shots

HANK
No thanks

GILES
Suit yourself

HANK
Why did you call me?

GILES
I figured we should have a word about the girls

HANK
My girls

GILES
If you say so

Giles indicates a stool on which Hank cautiously takes a seat

GILES
Don’t worry – If I was going to kill you, you’d be crying on the floor in a pool of your own fluids by now

Giles stares at Hank hard, Hanks nervous and sweating – Giles bursts into laughter as Hank edges uneasily

GILES
Relax

Giles necks the whiskey shot

GILES
I am…quite a lot actually

CUT TO.

EXT – ROADSIDE – NIGHT

Glory grabs Buffy again and tosses her into a parked jeep.

In pain, Buffy struggles to her feet and storms towards Glory

BUFFY
You have no idea how much you just pissed me off – bitch

GLORY
I think I can guess

Glory goes to punch Buffy – Buffy blocks it and head butts Glory before doing a back flip and catching Glory’s chin on her foot. Buffy sprints back to the car, Glory chasing her

When she gets there she pops the hood and grabs the Scythe but Glory’s gone…

She looks around frantically but nothing – just scared [people] staring back at her

KENNEDY
Buffy?

Buffy spins to see Kennedy walking towards her holding a tire

BUFFY
W…Kennedy?

KENNEDY
The bus brown down on the other side of the border – I had to get a spare from the garage

Kennedy indicates the store at the side of the road

KENNEDY
What happened to your face?

BUFFY
Do you have a phone on you?

KENNEDY
Who do you need to call?

BUFFY
I need Willow to take the other girls back to Sunnydale – you’re coming to Los Angeles with me

KENNEDY
I don’t understand

BUFFY
You will

CUT TO.

INT – HIGHSCHOOL – NIGHT

Willow is sat at her desk again, marking papers

WILLOW
Stupid Principal Wood and his stupid CCTV!

ROBIN
I’m sat directly opposite you

WILLOW
So?

ROBIN
Wow. I guess the students really are rubbing off on you

WILLOW
Sorry it’s just…Tara’s back and everything I just wanted to

ROBIN
Look, it’s Friday in…four days you can mark the papers at the weekend just don’t make a habit of this okay

WILLOW
No, it’s okay I’ll do them now

ROBIN
Willow…

WILLOW
Thanks

ROBIN
It’s all good. I wanted to get home myself, I just figured I’d punish you for getting Dawn to lie again – lying doesn’t pay off. You know how easy it is to get around me if you just whimper a while

WILLOW
I know, I mean – thanks

The two of the begin walking to the exit as the door slams shut

WILLOW
That’s…

Willow turns round – all the doors down the corridor shut.

ROBIN
Okay…

Both look around as the lights go down

ROBIN
Not loving this too much

CUT TO.

INT – BAR – NIGHT

Giles is now, in a word, drunk.

He sits staring at Hank laughing

GILES
You still think you can claim yourself as their father?

HANK
Legally yes

GILES
Morally? No wait – you don’t have that word in your vocabulary

HANK
I don’t have to listen to this – I’m leaving

GILES
See, I don’t think you are

Giles grabs Hank and pins him up against the wall

GILES
Not until I’ve said what I came to say

END OF PART THREE

INT – XANDERS – NIGHT

Xander comes out of the bathroom to a lonely Tara

XANDER
Sorry about that – Nancy can’t handle her drink and…where’s Andrew?

TARA
He got scared and ran to his room

XANDER
Oh well…hope you had a good night

TARA
It was n-nice

XANDER
Right like the plague, just with more vomit

TARA
Xander, it was nice meeting her she’s a lot like A…
(beat)
A n-nice p-person

XANDER
Right…

TARA
I think it’s time to call it a night

XANDER
You want me to call you a cab?

TARA
No it’s okay I…seeing you two together made me think a little, I have to see Willow

CUT TO.

INT – BAR – NIGHT

GILES
Now, I believe the trouble you’ve caused these past two months has been none to pleasing to either of my girls

HANK
Your girls? What are you some kind of perve?

Giles pushes his arm against Hanks neck

GILES
I’ll thank you to shut up while I’m threatening you

Hanks face is going red as Giles continues

GILES
Now there’s two ways we can play this game of yours…my way or the one where you sensibly leave town and actually get to walk again

Hank is trying to mumble words as his face gets redder, Giles is pushing harder as suddenly Hank forces him away and clutches his chest

GILES
Mr. Summers…

Hank falls against the table before hitting the ground, still clutching his chest

CUT TO.

EXT – ROADSIDE – NIGHT

Buffy and Kennedy are marching toward the van

BUFFY
Where’s Faith?

KENNEDY
She’s got another van – they were right behind us

BUFFY
Call her, tell her to…

Buffy swings the doors open, all eight slayers have been torn to pieces

BUFFY
Changing the tire?

Buffy turns and gives Kennedy a cold stare, Kennedy doesn’t get it as she looks into the van in horror

To Be Continued…

He wouldn't have to be drunk to refer to the Summers sisters as "My girls" and I can understand the feeling you're putting into him.

Drat. I thought Hank was Glory's host. It would have explained his need for Dawn. Of course, that might not be a heart attack he's having, it could be Glory trying to get out. But then, Glory was elsewhere gutting Slayers.

It works the way you make Kennedy the prime suspect now. I like the way this story is staying together as new threads, eg. Tara, are added. Keep it up.

This has fast become my fav of your fics and this opening is just an example of why.
Hell of a lot of people as the cast, but I know you’ll be able to do it. Good to know that Spikes not Glory though!..hmm that leaves Kennedy as the one I think, but as she’s too easy a choice I know there’ll be a twist.
LOL Angel is how old and he didn’t get what the beeping meant giggles
Oh no all those girls under one roof again…maybe Glory can get through a few more so there won’t be as many. LOL I’m evil for hoping that aren’t I.
Beverly is more inciteful than Hank knew.
I’m sure that if DB knew he was needed for this fic then he would’ve done it pro bono.
Now this is either to make us think that Kennedy is Glory or to keep us guessing until a twist comes along. My goodness you’re brilliant.
You go Giles!!!!!! Stnd up for your father rights. You’ve been more of a father to those girls than he ever has!. Ok can you tell I’m rooting for Giles?
Oh bugger this doesn’t look good for Giles…but at least Hank will be out of the way if you look for a bright side.
ARGGHH!!!!!!!! You tisted again now it looks like Kennedy is Glory again but I don’t know whether it’s her or not!. Love this
