INT. XANDER'S FIREHOUSE - MAIN ROOM
Dawn, Willow, Maya and Liv are all sacked out on the same
sofa, fast asleep. Xander and Lucy sit across from them on
the other sofa. Xander is a little distant.
LUCY
Awww... Look it's a slayer slumber
party.
No reaction from Xander.
LUCY
Hey. I thought that was pretty funny.
XANDER
Hmm? I'm sorry I was just thinking
about tonight.
LUCY
Liv did pretty well didn't she?
XANDER
She was great.
LUCY
Even though she let the bad guy get
away?
XANDER
It happens to everyone.
LUCY
Even you?
XANDER
Yep. Almost blew up my high school
as a result. But... that's not what
I was thinking about.
LUCY
Are you going to make me play 20
questions, or are you just going to
tell me?
XANDER
I was thinking about us.
LUCY
Us?
XANDER
I'm not sure if this is going to work.
LUCY
Oh really?
XANDER
Liv is my slayer. Your her mother.
There's like a dozen rules about
this in the Watcher's code, but...
the bottom line is I've got to put
your daughter's safety first. I
don't know if I can do that if
we're in a relationship. Not to
mention the fact that every
relationship or date I ever had
ended up dead or having some sort
of demonic undertones. I'm sorry Lucy.
LUCY
Can I say something?
Xander nods.
LUCY
You are so full of crap.
XANDER
What?
LUCY
Don't you find it silly that,
according to you, we've dated and
therefore have consecrated some
evil act that will end in your
suffering all in one night?
XANDER
You don't understand, I am...
LUCY
Jinxed?
XANDER
Yes!
LUCY
You think I've had a good luck
charm when it comes to men?
XANDER
You don't...
LUCY
Xander... I understand you're
scared. I also don't care. Evil
hijinx aside, I've had a wonderful
evening with a pretty nice guy.
So before our first date ends, I'm
going to give you some advice that
you gave to my daughter.
XANDER
What's that?
Lucy leans forward and softly touches his face.
LUCY
Don't think.
She leans in closer and kisses him softly on the lips.
LUCY
Just act.
She kisses him again and he returns the favor.
LUCY
Now what do you say to that?
XANDER
I had a wonderful evening with you
tonight. Are you doing anything
next Tuesday?
She smiles and so does he. She snuggles up on his shoulder
and closes her eyes. Xander put his arm around her, closes
his eyes and enjoys the moment.
FADE OUT.
