INT – MUSEUM – DAY

Joyce is showing a group around as she spots Buffy at the back

JOYCE
I…that concludes the tour!

Joyce rushes over to Buffy and holds her shoulders

JOYCE
My god did someone die?

BUFFY
Only my circulation!

JOYCE
You’re in a museum

BUFFY
Keen observant skills Mom!

JOYCE
Are you in trouble?

BUFFY
I just thought I’d you know, come see you at work

JOYCE
You’re pregnant!

BUFFY
Mom!

JOYCE
Sorry it’s just…I didn’t even think you knew where or what a museum was

BUFFY
Way to decrease the dumb blonde

JOYCE
You’re sure everything’s okay?

BUFFY
(sigh)
Go back to work.

Joyce smiles

BUFFY
Wait…I need ice cream money

JOYCE
I’ll be home early. We’ll talk.

Joyce hands Buffy $10, Buffy looks up at her

JOYCE
It’s serious

She passes over another 10 and Buffy walks away

CUT TO.

EXT – MUSEUM – DAY

Buffy sits on the steps and looks around

FLASH TO WHITE

Angel walking away from her at Graduation

FLASH BACK

Buffy looks blank faced before bursting into tears

CUT TO.

INT – BRONZE – DAY

Willow and Xander are staring ahead of them in shock, jaws wide open

WILLOW
It’s so…

XANDER
It’s very…

CORDELIA
Isn’t it great?

WILLOW
Great…that…that’s a word

XANDER
Not one I’d use right now!

CORDELIA
Ah, come on it’s brilliant!

Cordelia grins up at the new movie poster – it’s six feet high and has her face across it with Stacey Dash buried in the corner

CORDELIA
Bet you wish you hadn’t gone behind my back now huh?

XANDER
I thought this was going straight to cable

PRODUCER
Are you kidding? Look at my leading lady!

CORDELIA
Oh and I got Devon fired!

WILLOW
Why?

CORDELIA
Duh! He’s such a sucky kisser!

WILLOW
I need to sit down

XANDER
I need to wake up

CORDELIA
You need to get off set! If you can’t love my movie, I can’t love you bye bye

They look back at her

CORDELIA
Security!

XANDER
Cordy!

WILLOW
Hey I’m not even here with you, I…I’m with Oz!

CORDELIA
Yeah because he has say in this!
(beat)
Bye Bye now!

CUT TO.

EXT – BRONZE – DAY

WILLOW
She needs to be taken down

OZ
Know what the best part was?

XANDER
The big ugly vein on her big ugly head?

OZ
The part where Willow said she was dating me and got me kicked out

WILLOW
Oops

OZ
It’s cool. I imagine that if the six viewers this thing gets, are fans, they’ll spread word and we’ll lose the cred

Xander and Willow stare at Oz

XANDER
Was that…

WILLOW
It was…

XANDER
A full sentence with multiple tones

OZ
I have layers

WILLOW
He’s very layery – like an eskimo
(off looks)
With all their clothes and stuff because of the cold

XANDER
There’s only one thing I can make of all of this

CUT TO.

INT – BRONZE – DAY

PRODUCER
She’s perfect

ASSISTANT
You think he’ll like her?

PRODUCER
Just look at that skin – she’ll be the perfect sacrifice

STACEY
So it’s agreed – tonight he feeds

CUT TO.

EXT – BRONZE – DAY

WILLOW
Should we tell Buffy?

OZ
Maybe we should investigate first

XANDER
I bet it’s that Stacey! Nobody stays eighteen that long!

WILLOW
Demon!

OZ
I’d say witch
(off look)
Or demon.

XANDER
Hang on maybe we’re jumping to conclusions here

WILLOW
However B a movie is, she is the Tori Spelling of Sunnydale High!

FLASH TO

‘1997 – Grease’

CORDELIA
Danny!

ETHAN
Sandy! I thought you had to go back to Australia!

CORDELIA
(In appauling strangely English accent – think Annabelle in season seven)
They changed the plane!
(beat)
Plan! They changed, there was a change of plans
(pause)
Crap!

CUT TO.

OZ
That got her best review

WILLOW
Remember Bugsy Malone?

XANDER
Dear God! They’re gonna kill her!

OZ
Those in favour of the Buffy vote say “I”

XANDER/WILLOW/OZ
“I”

CUT TO.

INT – SUMMERS HOME – DAY

JOYCE
Wow

BUFFY
See – Ted was nothing

JOYCE
I feel so…no wonder you never do as you’re told, it’s an attention thing, you need love

BUFFY
No. I need vacation big awayish vacation

JOYCE
I don’t think running away from it will help

BUFFY
Mom! We’re being older sister today not Mom

JOYCE
Sorry

Willow and the others come running in

BUFFY
Excuse me we’re having a moment

WILLOW
We think Stacey Dash is a demon

BUFFY
Duh!

WILLOW
She’s going to do something to Cordelia!

BUFFY
Who wouldn’t!?

XANDER
Buffy! The Director loves her and cast her in the lead

BUFFY
Did he see Bugsy Malone?

OZ
Doubtful

BUFFY
(rolls eyes)
Fine.

CUT TO.

INT – BRONZE – DAY

CORDELIA
This part wasn’t in the script

STACEY
They just added it, trust me it will be so cool – we have this wicked monster

CORDELIA
Ooh special effects on this budget? Are we talking Jason and the Argonauts?

STACEY
Take a breathe Candella!

CORDELIA
Cordelia!

The entire cast and crew gather in front of Cordelia who is tied up on a pole

CORDELIA
Wow. Big scene.

Stacey pulls a curtain across to reveal a pool from which a demon emerges, all gunge and horns

CORDELIA
Wow. Big prop
(thinks)
Crap! Am I a sacrifice?

Stacey’s face changes to a demonic form

CORDELIA
I knew it!

BUFFY
Hey!

Stacey turns to Buffy who swings her head straight off with a hunga munga

BUFFY
Your show just got cancelled – big deal, join All my Children and get over it!

DEMON
Kill her

BUFFY
Hey! You interrupted a moment – there will be no killing today!
(beat)
Well, maybe for me

Buffy flips over and kicks the demon, surprisingly the minions all flee. The demon grabs Buffy and tosses her onto the stage as Oz and Willow untie Cordelia

BUFFY
That wasn’t very nice!

Buffy grabs one of the light wires and snaps it, swinging the light down into the pool – the demon dies as it’s frazzled to death

BUFFY
Wow.

XANDER
Yup.

BUFFY
Anti climatic

XANDER
Yup.

BUFFY
Wanna go eat?

XANDER
Yup.

END OF PART THREE

INT – BUFFYS ROOM – NIGHT

Willow is sat at the end of the foot of the bed as Buffy does a strange back combing thing with her hair

BUFFY
I can’t believe it!

WILLOW
I know

They stare at the TV and see Stacey on the Clueless E!True Hollywood Story

WILLOW
Wanna go track her down?

BUFFY
Nah! I’m sure we’ll find other things to do here!

WILLOW
I bet college is wicked scary – all the Urban Legends every campus has about the mysterious abandoned hall and the crazy mute janitor

BUFFY
I’m sure there’s all sorts of ooglie booglies beneath – I’m kinda looking forward to it

WILLOW
It’ll be weird though, without Cordelia being around, not for you I mean you just spend three years bitching with each other but, I’ve been to school with her for like a decade

BUFFY
I know what you mean, I don’t think I’ll miss her but I will, you know?

WILLOW
You’re a complex character Ms. Summers

BUFFY
That I am, that I am
(beat)
Xanders been in the bathroom forever did he like fall down?

CUT TO.

INT – BUFFYS BASEMENT – NIGHT

Xander is leaning out of the window as Cordelia leans in

XANDER
Call me okay

CORDELIA
Duh!

XANDER
This didn’t put you off acting?

CORDELIA
No way! I’m going all the way to TV Guide!

XANDER
Shout me out at the Emmy’s!

CORDELIA
You’d be lucky

She smiles and kisses him on the cheeks

XANDER
So why did you wanna meet me here?

CORDELIA
It’s where we had our first kiss

She smiles again and walks away to her cab as Xander watches out of the window

END.

A little bit different to your usual writing as in it seems more rushed than usual. Really liked the Joyce/Buffy scenes and the final scene was sweet. Also liked how Cordy picked up at the last second that she was a sacrifice LOL just like Cordy to get wrapped up in her impending fame and not see the truth. Ok things I wasn't too sure on how much I liked..Buffy seeing Riley for the first time and the Faith scene. I think I may have thought it was rushed because I always thought Cordy left straight after graduation seeming as she didn't have her dad's house to live in anymore...and that I thought Xander went travelling straight away too, so I didn't give them a huge timeframe for this to happen.
hugs and hope you don't hate me too much for what I've said or that I haven't hurt your feelings too badly..*runs before a huge beast is conjured to beat me up ;)*

the Riley thing was a last minute random adding and the Faith thing was because i wanted to show BUffy didn't just get over it and get on with things.

As for all the events...

It all starts the morning after graduation and carries over 3 days.
