BATHE, ENGLAND - 2022
The autocar pulls up to the new estate house. Maple is in awe over it's size, much bigger than the orginial. Faith and her exit the autocar and Faith walks up to the house. She turns around and sees Maple still standing next to the autocar.
FAITH-
"You coming?"
MAPLE-
"I don't know...."
FAITH-
"Look....just relax. For five years, you didn't know if they will accept you or not. One way of another, you'll know." Maple looks into Faith's eyes and she starts walking up to the steeps. Faith opens the door.
Inside the house, the group is still in the living room. Gia is bringing in a tray of tea, and she suddenly drops it. The rest look for to where Gia is looking, wide-eyed. Faith and Maple are standing in the doorway. Gia runs pass the mess she has made, and hugs her sister tightly.
GIA-
"Oh, Goddess....I've missed you." Maple couldn't say anything, she just starts crying. One by one, the others hug her and welcome her back, except for Buffy.
BUFFY-
"Sorry, Maple....can you come here, it's hard for me to get up." Maple walks over and hugs Buffy.
DAWN-
"It's good to have you back, Maple. But, there is something we...."
MAPLE-
"If it's about Hong Kong...it wasn't me. I was never there."
GILES-
"There is no reason to lie, anymore, Maple."
MAPLE-
"It wasn't me. I swear...."
DAWN-
"Where you ever in Tokyo?"
MAPLE-
"No, I made myself through India and Southeast Asia, and then into Australia. But I never went into China or Japan."
Dawn and Giles look at each other. They both knew what each other were thinking, 'an impostator.'
GILES-
"We can settle this later. I think, Maple, you need to see Willow."
Maple, Gia, and Dawn rode the autocar to Willow's condo. Gia and Maple climbed the stairs, witrh Dawn staying in the autocar. Gia unlocks the door and they both entered, and they found Willow at her desk as usual.
GIA-
"Mom, we have company." Willow looks up and sees Maple. She slowly gets out of her chair and walks up to her daughter. Willow looks into Maple's eyes....and then slaps her in the face.
WILLOW-
"How dare you come here! You left so stay gone."
MAPLE (crying) -
"Mommy...."
WILLOW-
"Don't mommy me. You left us....." Maple didn't let her finish. She turns around and runs out of the house, with Gia following her. Willow slams the door behind them. A figure comes out of the darkness.
KENNEDY-
"She wants to destroy us."
WILLOW-
"I know..." She walks back and hugs Kennedy.
KENNEDY-
"You know what you must do....she will reign down destruction on everyone." She kisses Willow.
Back in the autocar, Dawn looks at Maple, who is still crying. She can see a red spot on Maple's cheek.
DAWN-
"I'll be right back." Dawn leaves the autocar and goes up to the condo and looks in the window. She watches as Willow hugs and kisses nothing but air.
