The night finally came, and
the cast of ‘Angel’ slowly sauntered in. The final people to arrive were Joss
and his team of writers and producers. Then he said out loud, “This night will
be the single greatest achievement of this show’s five year history. Not only
do we have Buffy returning and pretty much assuring that her two episodes will
be the most watched episodes in the history of this show, but we start filming
real life events, in the heart of
Joss continued
explaining to the group what the other cast members would be up to but Sarah
tuned it out, she was wondering what the hell he meant by filming whatever they
could if in fact there was something to shoot. This day was becoming more and
more like yesterday and she didn’t like it for a second. But, she just figured
this was the last day she had to be here. Tomorrow she could look back on all this
nonsense and laugh.
The six of them piled
into Angel’s car, it was a tight fit, but they managed. Following them was the
film crew. They began filming once they left fox studios. Everyone knew what
was going to happen once they reached downtown
They finally made it
to the heart of downtown, but were surprised only to find one man waiting for them
on the dark street. The man couldn’t be missed. His bleach blonde hair stood
out just like a thirteen year old boy who instantly hit puberty while singing
“Ave Maria.”
Angel was smiling
from ear to ear, for he knew Spike was anxious to fight. Not only was Spike
standing in the middle of the street, he was holding a dagger the size of Andre
the Giant’s hand. Angel quickly jumped out of the car and yelled to Spike, “I
thought you’d made some friends since you came to
“Very funny soul
boy,” Spike eagerly replied. “But to have friends you have to be soft and
bloody care, and there’s nothing in me that says soft; and I certainly don’t
care. You on the other hand are definitely soft, and your girlfriends probably
can back me up on that one.”
Angel laughs at the
witty banter that he and Spike always find themselves getting into. But before
Angel could say anything else Spike went on, “So, you brought the star of
Scooby doo too along for the ride huh. Has she
figured it out yet mate? Does she know what you’ve just gotten her into? I take
it by the look on her confused face that you haven’t. Allow me to enlighten the
gal.”
As Spike gets closer
to Sarah who finally got out of the car, a slew of demons came out from the
darkness in back of Spike, then behind the car. Angel and the gang were now
surrounded. But they were awaiting Spike’s signal to begin fighting.
Spike was next to
Sarah who was now very curious as to what Spike was going to say to her. “I
tried to tell you a few weeks ago pet. Well, I actually tried to kill you, so
you wouldn’t have to worry about all this nonsense.”
“What nonsense,”
Sarah questioned?
“That you really are
the Slayer,” Spike replied, and continued, while Sarah took it in. “Don’t get
me wrong pet, I hate you for ending our show. I really wanted to kill you once
it ended but, then I got the ‘Angel’ gig. So I decided to let bygones be
bygones. But then I heard Joss mentioning something about you coming to film a
couple of episodes. Then I knew I couldn’t let that happen. I didn’t want to
fake feelings for you. I didn’t want to pan over you like Angel does everytime the name Buffy is mentioned. I despise you Buffy,
and I was set to kill you by your trailer, but your knight saved you yet
again.”
Spike began laughing
as he walked away from Buffy’s side. He then said, “All these years you never
once questioned anything about the show. You were oblivious to what was
actually going on. You thought
everything was computer generated. You believed that everyone you killed was
just a part of the storyline. I still can’t believe you didn’t realize that you
really killed Angel in season two. His sudden invisible act after you staked
him didn’t cause you to wonder where the hell he went. Jesus love, I thought
for sure you’d catch on with that one. But you didn’t and the show went on. But
I hate to say it, wait no I don’t, I’m so happy to share with you that you
don’t have to worry about anything any longer. These demons who have volunteered,
yes I said volunteered, are extremely anxious to end you. They can’t believe
what a life you’ve had. They thought they were through with the slayer, but now
your back and they can’t wait to finish you. They can’t wait to pay you back
for taking the lives of their brothers, sisters, and comrades. This army will
fight by my side till we finish you and your fang gang. This will be better
than the previous two slayers I killed ages ago. No longer do I have to take it
easy on you, I…”
“Is it just me or is
everyone else getting bored with this little speech,” Angel interrupted.”
The entire gang
raised their hands including Sarah. Before the fight commenced Sarah finally
spoke, “If everything that you say is true James, or Spike, whatever your name
is, and I really am Buffy the Vampire Slayer than, nothing will change. I will
continue to kick your ass just like I always did. You’ve come at us with demons
in previous seasons, but you were never successful. So, if you really believe
that this time will be different than I say bring it on.”
Spike looked directly
into Buffy’s eyes, then at his army all around, and then broke down laughing. Along with Wesley, Fred, Gunn, Lorne, and Angel. Spike
finally broke through his laughter and said, “Bloody Hell Buffy, I thought we
were actually going to fight. Ha! Thanks for interrupting me Angel, I was just
about to say screw it and walk off. I’ve never spoken so much b.s in all my life.”
Buffy was so confused
that she yelled out, “What, this was all a ploy? I don’t get it. I guess I
believed something was off, especially when the entire set in Sunnydale got
sucked into hell. But I thought it was just a blue screen.”
Everyone broke out in
laughter again. Lorne walked over to Buffy who was laughing as well, “Well, now
that you believe all this is true. Let me introduce myself. I would have done
it in the car, and excuse this cliché, but the tension was so thick you could
have cut it with a knife. But I’m Lorne sugar. I’m so glad we finally met,
because your singing in “Where do we go from here” was ‘Fab
O lous.’ And before I shut up, I have to tell you,
he’s all wrong for you honey. You belong with…”
“Ok Lorne, that’s
enough,” Angel interrupted. “She’s been through a lot tonight; I think it’s
best if we head back.”
“Bloody terrific idea
mate,” Spike agreed, then told his army to disperse. As he made his way back
into the darkness he was shocked to notice that the army of demons didn’t
follow his orders.
Finally one demon
spoke out and they all realized that it was the minion from the night before, “Spike
you misunderstood us. When we said we’d help you out in your little performance,
we had our own agenda. We came here for a fight. I told you slayer that I’d see
to your death. Our daddy wants her dead, and we do what our daddy wants.”
“Who’s you daddy,”
Gunn replied. “I can’t believe I just said that. They set that one up for
someone to walk right through and I picked the perfect time to finally jump
into this scene.”
Fred snickered, but
then listened as the demon replied, “Our daddy is Joss!”
