Buffy and Faith were soaked to the bone as they sat on a broken log under a huge tree. The sun was completely gone. The dark sky seemed to be aiming all of it’s rain at them. Gee I wonder why?

Faith: "Buffy..I was thinking about something."

Buffy: "What is it Faith?"

Faith: "..Well, we can end it."

Buffy: "What?"

Faith: "You know what."

Buffy: "Faith, do you know what happens everytime we try to help a demon?"

Faith: "Buffy-"

Buffy: "That’s right! Apocolypse!!!"

Faith: "B, I know you’re mad at Ashley for what she did to Dawn, but you don’t have to take that out on her entire species!"

Buffy: "Faith you’re forgetting that I didn’t enslave them in the first place!"

Faith: "B, after Malfoy died he left them in our hands."

Buffy: "I’m not going to let him down."

Faith: "But-"

Buffy: "No buts! Faith, vampires and humans can’t live toether! It’s either them or us! Whos side are you on?!"

Faith: "The side that doesn’t kill off their own!!"

Buffy looked taken back by this comment.

Buffy: "I didn’t tell Kennedy to-"

Faith: "It doesn’t matter B! The point is that you don’t care! You haven’t even asked where Glen is!"

Buffy: "I told him to take a piss closer to the camp didn’t I?"

Faith: "What’s happened to you? Buffy, ever since Angel-"

Buffy: "This has nothing to do with Angel! This is about getting rid of a species that does nothing but bring about hate and devastation! Faith, I don’t have to let those freaks go! I’m going to kill them off while they’re down!"

Faith: "…What?"

Buffy: "Like you didn’t see it coming. I kill them as soon as they’re born Faith, as soon as they’re not able to walk, as soon as they fall to the ground in a heap."

Faith: "No, you..you can’t be serious."

Buffy: "I am Faith. In 5 years time, I’ll have wiped out an entire species. They’re not helping anyone anyway."

Faith: "B, why? Why would you do this? What drove you to this extreme?"

Buffy: "My sister,my lover,some of my friends, all of them killed by a heartless beast. After Dawn, I was threw with them. No more nice slayer. I’m getting rid of the fucking demons. I’m not going to let them take more lives!"

Faith: "Buffy this is genocide!"

Buffy: "No Faith, this is nature."

Faith: "..You only want to kill Ashley because you think she’s going to have kids."

Buffy: "Exactly. Hey, rains gone. Ashley should be coming out soon."

Faith looked at Buffy in disbelief.

Buffy: "Faith, it’s just you and me now. I’m not going to let you ruin my plans. I can kill you right here and now. But I prefer not to."

Faith: "..okay B. I understand."

Buffy smiled and started walking. Faith kept her hand on her knife.

Back in the Castle…

Spencer: "I was taking a shower!! You don’t just walk in on someone when they’re taking a shower!"

Ashley: "I’m sorry, I didn’t think you would mind."

Spencer: "I was taking a shower! I had no clothes on and I barely know you! Of course I would-"

Ashley: "Why are you so upset?"

Spencer: "Because you have no sense of privacy! You just took off your clothes and jumped right in the shower!"

Ashley: "I thought that you would’ve liked company."

Spencer: "Who raised you like this?! You don’t come in on people’s personal space! Especially when they’re naked!"

Ashley: "I raised myself, I’m sorry if I invaded your.."

Spencer: "Personal space."

Ashley: "Right. That. I’m sorry. I just, sometimes I need heat."

Spencer: "What?"

Ashley turned a little red in the face. Spencer saw this and laughed a little.

Spencer: "What kind of heat?"

Ashley: "Nevermind..I just…uhh…"

"Oh God it’s that feeling again. What the Hell is wrong with me?"

Spencer: "Are you okay?"

Her tone of voice dramatically changed. Now it was soft and gentle. Ashley took notice and blushed even harder.

Ashley: "I..I have to go.."

Spencer: "Wait! Don’t leave. The rain stopped. Maybe now you can show me around."

Ashley kept her back turned to the young blonde. Her tail wrapped itself around her waist.

Ashley: "Yeah.that vould, I mean, would be nice."

Spencer laughed at the slight change in accent. 

Spencer: "Okay. Let’s go."
