ACT IV
INT. FONTAINE LIVING ROOM - JUST WHERE WE LEFT OFF
Chloe is sinking her teeth into Lucy's neck. Lucy
cries out in pain-
...and then she cries out in surprise as the front
window breaks and what can be described as only a
blur races toward Chloe
Chloe pulls back from Lucy's neck in time to see
the fist which sends her flying into the wall.
Liv stands over Chloe. With the look Liv has on
her face it is a wonder Chloe doesn't burst into
dust right now.
LIV
Get away from my Mom you undead bitch!
The two vampires holding Lucy look on in shock.
Which is good because it gives Xander a chance to
stake one of them from behind.
Chloe does a standing kick, knocking back Liv. The
other vampire recovers and attacks Xander. Lucy
falls to the ground holding her neck, but watching
in amazement.
Liv recovers and pushes forward with a spinning
kick followed by a series of punches which Chloe
is able to block. Chloe catches Liv's fist and
uses Liv's momentum to send her flying. Liv rolls
to her feet right next to Willow who is lying on
the floor.
WILLOW
(mumbles, in sleep)
Tadpoles!
Liv gives her a weird look and goes to attack
Chloe again.
While normally Xander would not be a match for a
vampire... Well he's in pissed off mode. Xander
slams the vampire into the wall and proceeds to
beat the snot out of him.
XANDER
Did you-
(Punch)
really think-
(Punch)
that my-
(Punch)
girlfriend-
(Grab vamp and slams him against
the wall)
was a snack?
The vampire head butts Xander and follows it with
a punch, knocking him to the ground
VAMPIRE
She will be.
The vampire jumps on top of Xander.
LUCY
Liv!
Liv turns from her pummeling of Chloe and sees
Xander in trouble. She leaps across the room;
pulls out a stake and stabs the vampire in the
back. The vampire explodes into dust and Liv lands
on Xander.
LIV
You okay?
XANDER
I'm all right.
Liv turns and sees that Chloe has disappeared.
LIV
Crap!
XANDER
Check the house. Make sure she's not
hiding in the house.
Liv is off like a shot. Xander crawls over to Lucy
who's practically in hysterics. Xander grabs hold
of her.
XANDER
You okay?
LUCY
(sobbing)
Uh-huh.
XANDER
Let me see...
Xander checks Lucy's neck as Lucy continues to
sob.
LUCY
Damn it!
XANDER
Shhh. You're okay.
LUCY
I invited them in!
XANDER
Hey. It's okay. You're okay.
LUCY
They could've killed all your friends!
XANDER
I'm more worried about you at the
moment. Come here.
Xander pulls Lucy into his lap on the floor. Lucy
leans on Xander's shoulder while curling up into a
little ball. He holds her there while she cries.
XANDER
You're okay.
Lucy sniffs and wipes her eyes.
LUCY
How did...?
XANDER
Got a vision.
Lucy nods.
LUCY
That your friends were in danger.
XANDER
No. Just you.
Lucy gives Xander a meaningful look. She sniffs.
LUCY
Really? I mean with all the important
people here I thought that-
Xander silences her with a kiss.
XANDER
'Ya see. That's where you're a dumbass.
You think I could do any of this stuff
without you?
Lucy looks around at the room at the sleeping
watchers, slayers. Willow rolls over on the floor.
WILLOW
(mumbles)
Silly frog. Nobody wants your eyeballs.
INT. FONTAINE LIVING ROOM - LATER
Xander is busy hammering up a piece of large
plywood to cover the broken window. The rest of
the watchers and slayers have left leaving only Lucy,
Liv, Maya, Dawn and Willow to watch.
WILLOW
Now this brings back memories.
DAWN
Mr. Fix-it strikes again.
LUCY
(to Liv)
You *had* to go through the window?
LIV
Well...
LUCY
You couldn't use the door?
LIV
Easiest access point. Plus... Hello
element of surprise.
Maya gives Liv a knowing glance.
MAYA
You just wanted to make a cool entrance,
didn't you?
Liv grins.
LIV
It was cool wasn't it?
Lucy rolls her eyes.
LUCY
You went through the window just to be
cool?
DAWN
All the kids are doing it these days.
WILLOW
Hey, if this is the first time that
window got broken, count yourself lucky
missy.
DAWN
We used to have the contractor on speed
dial before Xander became Mr. Fix-it.
LIV
Plus... hello? Handsome work crew will
be coming in to repair this. You should
be thanking me.
Xander steps down off the ladder
XANDER
Sorry to disappoint, but the only guy
you'll be drooling over is me.
Lucy snuggles up to Xander.
LUCY
I think I can handle that.
Liv and Maya roll their eyes and give Willow and
Dawn a knowing look.
LIV
Okay. This would be the part where we
need to leave.
WILLOW
Awww... but look how cute they are.
Liv and Maya take Willow and Dawn by the arms and
walk them out of the room.
MAYA
This is just the initial stage. If we
hang out too long we'll need insulin.
Lucy smiles.
LUCY
Ungrateful whelps.
LIV & MAYA
Whatever.
As soon as Liv, Maya and Willow leaves, Lucy gives
Xander a long passionate kiss.
XANDER
What was that for?
LUCY
Mmmmm... Being my guy. Saving my life.
Fixing my window.
XANDER
Technically that's just plywood.
LUCY
Uh-huh. Still pretty cool of you.
Xander takes a deep breath.
XANDER
Listen. I've got favor to ask. And this
can't be the kind of favor you
immediately agree to because I'm a
handsome devil and then later sit in a
room talking to yourself about what an
idiot you were to do the favor in the
first place.
Lucy scrunches her face.
LUCY
You know I do that?
Xander smiles and gently taps her chin with his
fist.
XANDER
Just one of the many things I like about
you.
LUCY
What's the favor?
XANDER
Willow. Dawn.
Liv nods.
LUCY
They need a place to stay?
XANDER
Willow needs her friends, and I can
really use their help.
Lucy gives Xander a winning smile.
LUCY
Okay. But only if you take out the
garbage.
Xander gives a look of mock outrage.
XANDER
Hey! I save your life; fix your window
and I still have to take out the
garbage? Your honor! I object!
LUCY
Overruled, Sparky. Take out the garbage
or I'll tell Liv the about the Aquaman
underoos incident.
Xander goes pale in fear.
XANDER
Willow!
WILLOW(OS)
She tricked me!
Lucy gives Xander a wily grin. Xander shakes his
head knowing he's lost.
CUT TO:
EXT. FONTAINE BACKYARD
Xander walks into the backyard carrying the
garbage. He exits through the fence gate and drops
the bags in the trash bin. He hears a soft groaning
sound from around the corner of the fence. Xander
goes into stealth mode and picks up a nearby pipe
to use as a club.
He jumps around the corner... club at the ready
and...
Makes a look of disgust.
ANGLE ON:
Spike and Buffy are passionately snogging each
other with Buffy's back against the fence.
XANDER
What *is* it with you two?
Spike and Buffy jump away.
SPIKE
Uh.. we were.. uh..
BUFFY
Just... um... going over-
XANDER
Each others tonsils?
Spike and Buffy look around embarrassed. Xander
tosses the pipe on the ground and walks away with
a disgusted look.
XANDER
Get a crypt, would ya?
INT. A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN
Chloe stands in the middle of the kitchen facing
someone we can't see.
CHLOE
...then the slayer burst through the
window and I had to make a break for it.
Heckle and Jeckle got dusted.
VOICE
(British accent)
No matter.
Ethan Rayne steps into view.
ETHAN
There's more than one way to bring down
a slayer.
Ethan smiles and holds out a wrapped chocolate bar
to Chloe.
ETHAN
Chocolate?
GO TO BLACK
