Buffy is dancing in a very bronze like club, she’s wearing a very sexy red dress and her hair is loose. (Stop – Jamelia begins playing)-
Song begins
Buffy twirls around with her self.
All that I have is all that you've given me
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
Now I've found you've lied and I can't believe its true
Suddenly she is caught by Spike who twirls her and then dips her back into his arms, nuzzling her neck.
Wrapped in her arms,I see you across the street
I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
oh oh you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realize, that your not the only one
Suddenly Angel grabs her and holds her close, as they dance he breathes in her sent and then sends her spinning back into the arms of Spike.
oooo you'd better stop!
Before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop!
Spike dances Buffy around just as tenderly as Angel, but in her ear he whispers
Before you go and break my heart
Spike: Come join me… join me in the darkness, in the shadows.
Buffy: No
Angel takes Buffy from Spike and tenderly caresses her cheek.
oooo you'd better stop
Angel: Yes,
With a Jolt Buffy wakes up.
BLACK OUT.
Buffy walks down the stairs towards the living room, She still looks tired. She sees Angel in the doorway to the Living room with his back to her. She also sees Spike looking uncomfortable in a squishy leather recliner. The rest of the Scoobies are also there.
Buffy: Gosh, What is this? A Convention for my romantically undead?
Spike: Buffy…
Buffy: Don’t even bother. I don’t need to hear it!
Willow: (clears her throat nervously) Actually Buffy maybe you do.
Buffy: Willow don’t even go…
Giles: (sharply) Buffy…
Buffy: NO! What is this? Spike Appreciation day?
Dawn: (quietly) Buffy um… maybe you should…
Buffy: (pissed off) No! No! Tell Me! What. Is. This?
Angel: The Apocalypse.
Buffy (gapes at him): Again?
Giles: They do occur fairly regularly.
Buffy: (slumps in a chair) bu.. but it’s been so quiet.
Dawn: Yeah now we kinda know why.
Giles: The Vampires and other Demonic forces appear to have evacuated.
Buffy: Giles… The last time demons cleared out The First was about to obliterate the world.
Spike: (quietly) We stopped it.
Buffy: (ignores him) We needed an army of Slayers last time, and we still totally destroyed Sunnydale. We’re running out of places to destroy.
Dawn: (nervously) Buffy, the prophecy mentions a way to stop the acoming apocalypse…
Willow: There’s a spell, It’s complicated but I think I can handle it.
Buffy; Great! So we stop the apocalypse no muss, no fuss. (She notices no one is looking her in the eye) right?
Giles: The spell calls for the life force of the oldest Slayer…
The room goes silent. Buffy looks at her feet in shock, a tear trickles out of her eye.
Buffy: Oh.
Giles: The spell calls for the life force of the Slayer, and the Life force of her greatest Love.
Buffy: (stunned) Wha… Wha… What does that mean exactly?
Willow: Well we’re gonna look for another way, obviously! Bu…But If we can’t, if we can’t, It means… It means…
Spike: Look love shake the cryptic, the slayer gets it. She has to die, and when she dies she has to pick the man she loves the most to die with her.
Dawn: Who I guess would be one of you two. (looks at Spike and Angel)
Buffy: (also looks at them, as if comparing them) But I… I can’t. (runs hand through hair) I mean… It… It’s too… (begins to cry)
Angel and Spike both step forward as if to comfort her but then think better of it. Willow puts her arms around Buffy.
Buffy: Hard.
BLACK OUT
Faith is standing in the corridor of the house she looks tired, sad and bewildered, Willow walks out of a room, she has the same expression Faith does.
Faith: How is she?
Willow: (sarcastically) Five by Five
Faith: Yeah sorry, stupid question
Willow: It’s not you; I mean I’m still all bemuddled over… well just all over.
Faith and Willow sit with their backs to the wall.
Faith: Are you sure it’s Buff? I mean oldest Slayer… could be me.
Willow: It’s not in age, I’ve cross referenced till I can cross reference no more but the prophecy refers precisely to ‘the one who has slayed for more years then any’
Faith: Man that sucks.
Willow: Yeah it kinda does (realizes what she said) Oh! Not that I’d want you to die, I just mean Buffy dieing, I don’t think you should either.
Faith laughs and Willow smiles awkwardly
Willow: I’m just going to smosh my foot into my incredibly large mouth now.
Faith: Relax Will.
Willow: Easier said
Faith: Yeah, you’d think that impending doom coming every second Sunday would make it easier to deal with, you know.
Willow: every time the big bad gets bigger and stronger and every time we have to sacrifice more to defeat it.
Faith: How long do we have?
Willow: Until the half moon, Wednesday.
Faith: Whoa there Red, that’s…
Willow: Tomorrow, yeah kinda getting that.
Faith: Willow?
Willow: Yeah?
Faith: um… If Buffy does you know…
Willow: Ascend
Faith: yeah whatever, If Buffy ascends then that makes me
Willow: Slayer no. 1
Faith: I guess so; I just wanted to say... I know this doesn’t mean much coming from… well me but, you can trust me.
Willow: I know you’ll do the right thing.
Faith: Thanks but that’s not really what I meant. I know you don’t think I’ll watch you back but I will. I promise.
Willow: I know and I do,
Faith: You don’t have to…
Willow: (smiles at her) but I do.
Faith: I wouldn’t
Willow: None of us are the same people that we where back then. Hey, are we forgetting evil Goth Willow.
Faith: I heard about that, didn’t know you had it in you.
Willow: The murder of your lesbian love can do things… (frowns) You know as bad as that was it helped me understand things better: Buffy, Darkness, Demons and I guess… you. I get what it’s like to feel true power; I get what it’s like to be afraid and alone.
Faith looks at her feet not knowing what to say
Faith: Life sucks
Willow: (laughs) sometimes
Faith: Maybe this really is hell?
Willow: I can’t believe that.
Faith: why?
Willow: Because I have Hope.
Faith gets up and begins to walk away, suddenly she turns back and looks at Will:
Faith: Could you bring her back?
Willow: Maybe. But I’m not going to try. She deserves a rest.
Faith: (begins to walk away) that’s the truth.
BLACK OUT
Buffy is Dropping out of her bedroom window onto soft grass, She turns and walks into Angel, who jumps.
Angel: (breathless) Buffy.
Buffy: (surprised) God Angel, will you not lurk so.
Angel: Where are you going?
Buffy: Don’t know. Don’t care.
(buffy begins to walk away, Angel follows her)
Buffy: What are you doing?
Angel: looking after you.
Buffy: I don’t need saving.
Angel: Because you’re a Slayer?
Buffy: Because I’m not afraid to die.
Angel smiles bitterly.
Angel: After a few hundred demons no one is.
Buffy: (slows to a stop and looks sadly at a giant stone angel) I’m not afraid because… because I know it’s time. I can’t make Giles see it, I can’t get Willow to see it, Not Dawn not Xander. Not even you. But I just know.
Angel: have you made a decision?
Buffy: (calmly) I haven’t
Angel bites his lip looks away from Buffy and then quickly back again:
Angel: Willow said on the night of the half moon.
Buffy: Wednesday
Angel: (agitated) tomorrow.
Buffy: Angel… don’t rush me on this ok.
Angel looks at his feet. He sees a small crack in the grown and frowns.
Angel: What’s tha…
Suddenly there is a huge earthquake, Angel grabs Buffy and they rush under a large oak. The angel statue splits down the middle. The earthquake stops as suddenly as it began.
Buffy: I’m not going to make the obvious crack about dieing every time there’s a earthquake.
Angel: (smiles) that’s probably for the best.
Angel walks over and looks at the broken statue.
Angel: Now that’s a fun omen.
Buffy: I guess the end of the world had begun.
Angel: (glances at Buffy) Buffy… whatever happens, who ever you choose…
Buffy: (smiles at him) I know.
Angel: I’ll stay. I’ll protect them
Buffy: (puts her arms around his waist and leaning on him as they walk) that means a lot.
Angel: (puts his arms around her shoulders) Aren’t you sad you never got to…
Buffy: cook?
Angel: I thought we where done with the Cookie analogy,
Buffy: Maybe I don’t need to.
Angel: But you want to?
Buffy: I’d probley just burn. (Laughs) I never expected to live this long Angel, I never expected to be this happy, I never expected to find peace.
Angel: So you’ve finally found closure in the business with no closure.
Buffy: no, but enough
Angel: (laughs) Then you’re very lucky.
The two part. Buffy looks into Angel’s eyes.
Buffy: What ever happens, who ever I choose. Know that I love you, always have and always will. There was never a question about that.
Angel: (strokes the side of her face) I know
Buffy: I’m going to be ok.
Angel: There was never a question about that.
