Unmask: Trust.

I don't own any of the Buffy people. Josh Whedon does.
Note, there is a slight crossover in this story, but you have to figure out what it is.
______________________________________________________________________________________
The scene is an Airplane. We see Willow, and Kennedy, sitting in first class. The captain's
voice, comes over the intercom, "Ladies, and Gentlemen, we will be landing in 5 minutes
please buckle your seat belts, and return your trays to there upright, and locked position.

"This is going to be so great" said Willow, "I haven't seen Xander, or Dawn, since Sunnydale." 
"Just remember, this is work" said Kennedy, "this isn't a vacation." "I, I sir," said Willow, as
she saluted Kennedy.

"I'm serious" said Kennedy, slightly annoyed, "Where here to train new Slayers, in the middle 
of a new Hellmouth. It's not a game." "Right Hellmouth" said Willow, "that's something we never 
deal with. Oh wait, we deal with them all the time. Now, what's really bothering you?"     

"Nothing's bothering me," said Kennedy. "Don't give me that" said Willow, "You've been a big 
grump, ever since we found out about this job. It's like sleeping with Eore, the mule." Kennedy
give Willow a shocked look, and Will realizes what she just said. "OK" she said, "that sounded 
much less gross in my head."

"I'll ignore, that you just called me a mule" said Kennedy, "and I'll say again, that nothing's 
bothering me. I just think we need to focus on work." "I was born at night" said Willow, "but 
not last night. I know exactly what this is about, Your jealous of Xander."

"What" said Kennedy, I am not, I mean Xander's my friend too." "Oh, really" said Willow, "So 
you don't mind, that I had a crush on him in High school?" "Of coarse not" said Kennedy, "you 
were a kid, and now, your a grown, gay woman. So why should I be jealous?"

"So it doesn't bother you that I dreamed of marring him," Willow asked?" "No Will, it's fine," 
"and you don't care that I fantasized, about making love to him?" "No Willow, I trust you." "And 
you Don't care that I thought about him kissing me, on the lips, and moving to my breast, Then 
down to my tummy, and then?"

Suddenly Kennedy, without realizing it, crushed the armrest, in her hand. The flight attendant 
ran in to see was the noise was. "I'll be paying for this with cash," said Kennedy, with a guilty 
look on her face. The attendant walked away, shaking her head.

"OK" said Kennedy, "Maybe it bothers me, just a little." "Well, it shouldn't" said Willow, pulling 
her close, "Because the only person I want to do those thing to me now, is you. I love you, and 
only you, so you don't need to be jealous."

"I love you Willow" said Kennedy, "and I'm sorry, but the thought of you loving someone else, 
makes me crazy. but your right, I'm done being grumpy. Let's blow this off, and go to Hawaii." 
"Kennedy," said Willow. "OK" said Kennedy "Well go do are job." 

"And see our friends" said Willow, "Xander, and Dawn are like my Brother and Sister. Seven years, 
is to long to go without seeing each other. The only thing that would make it better is, well, you
know." "Buffy" said Kennedy. "Yea" said Willow, "I mean, I know she doesn't want to be in this 
line of work anymore. And I respect that, but she's my best friend, and I never get to see her."

Kennedy gently kisses Willow, "you still have me" she said, "I'll always be here to love you, and 
to kiss, your lips, and then your breast, and move down to your tummy, and then." "UH,MU," 
said the flight attendant, who was standing there the whole time. "Well, be landing in a moment"
she said, "Then you can get a room." 

We see the plane landing, and a sign, that say's "Welcome to Santa Carla California
__________________________________________________________________________________  

We see a house. Inside Dawn is walking around, suddenly the door opens, and Xander walks in.
"Lucy I'm home," he say's. "Who's Lucy," said Dawn, "is she prettier than me?" "Lucy's a TV show"
said Xander, "You know this, I've seen you watch it, you laughed. And for the record (He then kisses
Dawn Passionately), She's a bow wow next to you."

"Good answer" said Dawn, "Now, tell me why we have to act like were not in love, when Willow, and 
Kennedy get here." "Honey, we've been though this" said Xander, "We tell them, they tell Buffy, Buffy
puts out My good eye, It's a problem." 

"We will have to tell her sometime" said Dawn, "I mean what if we get married, and have kids, you 
think she's not going to notice." "See, I have a plan" said Xander, "We wait about ten years. now, 
she's not been training, she's out of shape, she's put on a few pound, and is slow.

Now I'm in top condition, So I hire about 15, or 20 guy's from the WWF, to come with me to tell her,
and, I think we might be able to fight it out to a draw." "EVERYTHING IS A JOKE TO YOU!" yelled
Dawn, "TEN YEARS, YOU REALLY THINK I'M GOING TO WAIT THAT LONG, FOR YOU TO GROW
SOME BALLS? YOUR CRAZY!"

"Dawn I." "DON'T DAWN ME, XANDER! I'M SICK OF THIS." At that moment, there was a knock at
the door. "It's them" said Dawn, "We'll talk later." "Honey, I'm sor." Dawn cut Xander off, before he 
could finnish. "Later," she said, sharply.

Dawn opened the door, and sure enough, Willow, and Kennedy were on the other side. "Danwien" said
Willow excitedly, as she hugged Dawn "I've missed you, so much. And Xander (She goes and hugs
him), it's been to long."

"Miss you too Will" said Xander, then looking at Kennedy "Hey Kennedy, still a Slayer?" "You still a     
dork," said Kennedy? "Yes," answered Dawn, with authority, "He is!" Xander just looked at her. "Is 
everything OK," asked Willow? "Sure" said Xander, "We were just having a disagreement, about how
to train the girl's. Nothing serious, right Dawn." 

"Sure" she answered, in an annoyed tone, "Nothing serious, just something pointless. (She then turned 
to Willow, and smiled) it is good to see you, both of you." "Missed you to kid," said Kennedy, as she 
hugged Dawn. "Not a kid," said Dawn. "Well, excuses me" laughed Kennedy, "speaking of kids, where
are the new Slayers?"       

"School" said Xander, "There students in Santa Carla High, which is of coarse built over the Hellmouth."
"Evil really needs, too learn a new tune," laughed Willow. Just Then, the phone rang, And Xander picked 
it up. "Hello" he said, "Giles hey, yea they just got here, what, OK." "What did he say," asked Willow, as
Xander hung up.

"He said to turn on CNN," answered Xander. "Why," said Willow?"  Xander shake his head, as he 
walks ver to the TV, and turns it on. "For those of you just joining us, I'll recap this story. A Minister, 
and his Family, were mugged, by what has been descried as Devil worshipers, outside there church, 
in Phoenix Arizona, and were saved, by a girl gang. But that's were the story take a bizarre, and violent 
turn. 

The leader of the gang, then decapitated the Minster in front of his family." "What the hell, is this," 
said Dawn? "Well, Giles called us" said Xander, "So I'm guessing they said Devil worshipers, because 
they new nobody would believe vampires."

"Which means, the girls were probably Slayers" said Willow, "but if there killing innocent people? Oh 
God!" "We always new this might happen" said Xander, "And I know what your thinking, Will. But it's 
not your fault."

"Yes, it is Xander" said Willow, "I gave power, to a bunch of girls, I've never even met. Just assumed 
they were all heroes, and now, everyone they hurt is on my head." "None of us would even be here if 
you hadn't gave them that power" said Kennedy, as she took Willow's hand, "You save the world, Will. 
Don't forget that."

"Did I" said Willow, "or did I just make a master race, to rule it? Oh God, what have I done?" "Willow" 
said Xander, "we can still fix this, if we can find them." "Guys" said Dawn, "The intervening the mans 
wife." "Misses Anderson" said the reporter, "I know this is hard for you, but can you tell us what 
happened."

"We were on or way to Wednesday night service" said the woman, "and these men came to us, said they 
were hungry, but then they changed. I know people will think I'm crazy, but I don't care. They were 
Demons. I saw there faces,  They had fangs, and they were so strong, they had been sent there from 
hell."

"OK" said the reporter, "So what happened next? "Well, they were going to kill us, but these girls 
jumped out of nowhere, and killed them. I thought they were Angels, at first, But they were just more 
Demons. This Blond girl, knocked my husband down, and (She begins to cry) and lifted her sword, 
and, and, ahahahah.

I've always prided myself on not hating anyone, But I hate her, I HATE HER!" "All right Misses 
Anderson" said the reporter, "Just one more question, Did any of the give you a name?" "It was some 
ridicules cartoon name" she said, "She said her name was Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Everyone in the house was shocked, and speechless. Dawn ran over to the TV, and turned it off. 
Xander, without thinking, walked over, and held her. "It wasn't Buffy," Dawn finally said." "Dawn," said 
Willow. "IT WASN'T HER," said Dawn, in anger! "Of coarse it wasn't" said Willow, "nobody here thinks 
that baby, It's an impostor, we know that, it just caught us of guarded. right Xander?"

"Om oh, yea" said Xander, "We know it's not her." Dawn pulled away from Xander. "Why don't you 
sound sure," she said? "I'm sure" he said, but the truth was he wasn't. he new Buffy was good, and 
that she was a hero, but he also new something the other's didn't.

"It's not her, I know," he said. Willow walked up to him. "Xander" she said, "I can tell when your lying.
Look me in the eye, and say that it's not possible." "Well," he said, "nothings impossible, but." "Oh
Xander, no" said Willow, in disgust, "how can you even think it's her?" 

"I don't!" said Xander, "It's just weird you know." "Weird yes" said Willow, "It's weird that a crazy 
woman, is out there pretending to be Buffy." "A crazy girl, who knows about Buffy" said Xander, "and
is most likely a Slayer, and has blond hair? No, I don't think it's Buffy. But I can't pretend there's no
evidence ether."

"EVIDENCE" yelled Willow, "What evidence? Buffy's know in the under world, so a new Slayer, could 
easily have heard of her. And she has blond hair, like nobody else has that, Oh hey, Kristy Swanson
has blond hair, is she Buffy to?" "Who's Kristy Swanson," asked Kennedy? "Never mind," Willow 
snapped.

"All I'm saying is." "SHUT UP," said Dawn, cutting Xander off, "you've said enough." Dawn then walked 
away. Xander tried to follow her, but got slapped for his trouble. "You know you deserved that right," 
said Willow? "Well, sorry, Will, I really wish I could bury my head in the sand, like you." "How dare you
Xander, Your ready to sell Buffy out you trader!"

"OK, stop!" said Kennedy, "Stop before you both say anything else, you'll regret. Now, there's an easy
way to settle this, Willow, call Buffy. If she's in Rome, she can't be in Arizona too, case closed. "besides,
she needs to know anyway."

"Makes sense" said Willow, "you should try it Xander." Xander said nothing. he couldn't blame Willow, 
and Dawn for hating him, at the moment, he hated himself. Willow got on the phone, and began speaking 
in Italian. Then she got very upset, and hung up the phone. "What's wrong Will," asked Kennedy? "She
was quiet, for a moment, and the spoke. "That was the apartment manager, Buffy's moved back to 
America." 

"What" said Dawn, who had came back into the room, "That can't be right, she would have told me. where
is she?" Willow said nothing. "WHERE," demanded Dawn! "Arizona," Willow finally said.
