INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - KITCHEN
Lucy is on the phone and is pulling out her hair.
LUCY
(slowly)
Willow Rosenberg. I'm trying to
find Willow Rosenberg. Can anyone
there speak English? English?
(off the phone)
Anyone here speak portuguese?
Liv walks in and takes the phone from her mother
LIV
Hello, eu quis saber se você pudesse
nos ajudar encontrar Willow Rosenberg?
Há um problema a respeito de seu amigo
Xander Harris e nós necessitamos
sua ajuda.
(beat)
Obrigado.
(hands phone back to her mother)
Hold on, they're looking for her.
Liv walks out of the kitchen. Lucy looks on in shock.
LUCY
You're a freak of nature. You know
that, right?
LIV(OS)
Tomadas uma para conhecer um!
LUCY
I don't know what that meant, but
you're grounded missy!
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Xander watches Liv as she goes and sits down with Maya again. Doyle and Cordelia stand next to him.
XANDER
It's her isn't it?
CORDELIA
She's not causing it if that's what
you mean.
XANDER
No but she's the reason why I'm
having this problem.
DOYLE
What are you seeing?
XANDER
She's... I see her from the other
night. After she killed all those
demons on her own. Alone. She was...
scared.
CORDELIA
So?
XANDER
So... I'm not sure.
DOYLE
What happened that night?
XANDER
She left that evening after
training. I sat down and had a
meaningful conversation with the
Magic Eight ball and then...
DOYLE
Yes.
XANDER
That was the last true premonition
I had.
DOYLE
Ahh... the lights are on but...
XANDER
I haven't had anything for two
weeks since then.
CORDELIA
Do you understand now Xander?
XANDER
No.
DOYLE
(sighs)
There's nobody home.
CORDELIA
Think about that image you told us
about. Tell us about Liv
XANDER
She was scared. She almost died. I
didn't get there fast enough.
Cordelia and Doyle share a look.
CORDELIA
What happened in Africa, Xander?
The question hits Xander hard.
XANDER
(bitter)
You know what happened.
DOYLE
We do. But you couldn't have
stopped it.
XANDER
She died because of my carelessness.
DOYLE
She died because she was a slayer.
That's one thing in life that never
changes.
XANDER
That's supposed to make me feel better?
CORDELIA
No. It's to remind you that you
can't fix everything. Don't let
your guilt cause the death of
another Slayer.
XANDER
(angry)
What does my guilt have to do with
anything?!
CORDELIA
"She was scared. She almost died."
You didn't like that.
XANDER
No.
DOYLE
You didn't want to see her that way.
In jeopardy.
XANDER
No.
CORDELIA
So...
XANDER
I blocked the premonitions.
Xander grabs his head and doubles over in pain.
XANDER
Aaaaahhh!!!
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - KITCHEN
LUCY
I'm not sure what happened. He
looked like someone had run him
over with a truck and then...
Liv and Maya dash into the room with a book
MAYA
I think I found something.
LIV
Mr. Harris has the ability to
receive limited premonitions of the
future.
MAYA
We think he might be caught in
some sort of premonition loop.
LUCY
(on the phone)
Did you get that? Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Okay.
(to the girls)
This is what we do...
A hand grabs the phone away from Lucy. It's Xander.
XANDER
Hey, Will. Sorry to drag you off
the beach. I'm fine. I'm fine! Look,
a big bad is on way. Can't talk now.
Call you later. Bye.
Lucy, Liv and Maya are in shock. Xander points to Liv and Maya.
XANDER
You were right.
(points to Lucy)
Next time something happens to me,
call Willow first. She's... She's smart.
LUCY
Are you okay?
XANDER
No time to talk. You and Maya go
and hide in the basement.
(grabs his head)
Ow! Sorry. Bedroom. Hide under the
bed. Liv, you're with me. Go! Go! Go!
They all run to the stairs.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Xander and Liv are suited up for battle. Liv is in full
battle gear, and Xander is going over all her body armor.
XANDER
Okay, you know the plan?
LIV
Yes.
XANDER
How you feeling?
LIV
Scared.
XANDER
Breathe kiddo.
Liv takes a deep breath.
XANDER
We're going to get through this.
All right?
LIV
Okay.
XANDER
Now the most painful thing is about
to occur.
LIV
What's that?
The demon bursts through the door, smashing it to bits.
XANDER
I just had that replaced.
Liv is rooted to the floor.
XANDER
Let's go!
Liv takes a deep breath and dives into battle.
INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Cordelia and Doyle are sitting on the couch, watching the
battle, eating popcorn and drinking a beer. Demon screams
are heard in the background
DOYLE
I sure don't miss this part of the job.
CORDELIA
I hear that.
DOYLE
Duck.
Cordelia and Doyle duck down as Xander goes flying into the
wall. Xander climbs back over the couch.
XANDER
Go for the knees!
Xander picks up his sword and dives back into the fray.
CORDELIA
He's going to feel that tomorrow.
DOYLE
I can't believe we used to do that
for a living.
CORDELIA
Duck.
They duck. Liv flies into the wall, she bounces off, lands on her feet
and charges back in.
DOYLE
She's pretty good.
CORDELIA
Got a lot to learn though.
DOYLE
I like her.
CORDELIA
Yeah. She's got spunk.
We hear Liv give a battle cry.
DOYLE
Oh here we go...
The demon falls to the ground with Liv's battle ax embedded
in its head.
CORDELIA
Hmm... Shame about the floor.
The floor begins to creak. Suddenly the demon's body crashes
through the floor
XANDER (OS)
Aw crap.
Xander and Liv are standing over the large hole the demon's
body made as it crashed through the floor. Xander is pretty
bruised and battered, and is bleeding from his side
XANDER
I can't believe this. I just had
the floors redone.
(sighs)
You okay?
LIV
I'm fine. Oh my God! You're bleeding.
Xander checks his side.
XANDER
Yeah and I think I sprained my
ankle, you better go get your mom.
LIV
(Running to and up
the steps)
Mom! We need you!
Xander looks at the hole in the floor and just shakes his head.
XANDER
Maybe I'll put in a pool.
Xander limps toward the stairs.
