The Slayer and The Boomstick: The Book Of Light
by Wonkabar
My chainsaw rips a Deadite in half, as my Boomstick blows another onto the street. I look up and see Faith holding her own, slashing Deadite after Deadite with her sword. We were back to back, making our way back to the airfield. I glance at the sky and the vortexes have closed, thanks to Bunny....uh...Buffy and Willow the Red Headed Witch.

"Ash, there's too many of them," my recently discovered daughter yelled over the roar of my chainsaw.

"Just keep going," I responded. Just as I said that two more shot gun blasts come from mr right. I look over and Xander and Dawn were blasting Deadites, while Geeves was waving us over. We started running and I yelled for everyone to get to the plane.

We reach the plane and find Buffy and Willow there. Faith hands Willow the Book. She opens it and begins to read it. Suddenly, a bright blast comes from the book, and the Deadites disappear. We just stand there for a moment.

"it's over, fucking-A, it's finally over," I managed to say. "Well, gang, that's it for me. Besides, S-Mart is suppose to open in three hours, so I have to back to the store. Faith, here's my address...write me."

I know...I know that sounds harsh, but I have never been good with good-byes. Faith suddenly steps in front of me.

"So, that's it. You just leave me your address and that's it."

"Oh, c'mon, Faith...look at me. Do I look like 'daddy' material that doesn't involve dollar bills and a g-string." I start walking away there I hear a word that would change my life forever.

"Daddy."

I stop, the word pierces my heart like a red-hot poker in the groin. I turn back to Faith, and she hugs me.

"You know, you could use someone with your talents. And we could pay you a lot more than S-Mart could."

I think about it for a moment. Faith is my daughter, and I couldn't turn my back on her. Besides, if she battles evil for a living, than I could probably teach her a few things. I smile at her and nod my head. She then looks over my shoulder, and I turn around. Some punks with funny looking faces were walking towards us.

"Who in the hell is that?" I ask.

"Vampires. You wanna help me?"

"Hail to the king, Faith."

She looks at me, and pulls out her sword.

"Groovy," she says as we attack the vampires.
