>How dare you using my sister.... my sister... hadn’t my mom been enough?!?! “she said punching her once more”... tell me, tell me!!.... or what???... you heard the news that there was another Summers around and you just didn’t want anybody missing on your list. “she continued punching her”

>I... I... I am not u..using Da-dawn.


Buffy was hitting Faith like crazy and Xander wouldn’t do nothing about it, he just held Dawn who was desperadely screaming and wanting to set free in order to defend Faith... Buffy was still beating up Faith when the front door opened... Buffy was in shock the second after she saw who it was... Dawn and Xander just looked at him surprised.


>A.. Angel?!?!?! “Said a very surprised Buffy”... come inside... why are you still there in the doorstep.

>Sorry I opened the door that way, but you guys wouldn’t listen because of the noise... and well I guess I never loose the habit of waiting to be invited... What happened to you?... “he asks looking at Faith while he gets inside the house”.

>Nothing...


>Uhm.. Buffy can we talk???... Xander... please unchain Faith and then go out with Dawn “said the vampire” ... I think this is something only the three of us have to discuss.

>But I... “Dawn interrupted”.

>don’t argue... “Buffy said”

>Bu... “she protested looking at her girlfriend that was being unchained at the moment”.


>Thanks “Faith muttered acidly to Xander without even looking at him” Dawn, I really need to talk to your sister... you wanted me to do this... you gotta cooperate then... “and she headed to the bathroom in order to clean her face”.

>FINE!... but I’ll go to one of my friends’ house... “She said looking at Buffy” I am so not hanging out with your stupid friend.

>alright... but let Xander walk you

>I said NO... I want to go alone... otherwise I ain’t moving “she said folding her arms”.

>Ok ok... just be careful... but put a note on the fridge with your friend’s address and phone number. “Buffy said to her little sister”.


After she finished putting the post-it on the fridge, she got closer to her girlfriend, who was stretching out while coming back from the bathroom. Dawn kissed her softly for a few seconds and left everybody in the room looking in surprise... she finished kissing Faith and walked outside the house without even saying goodbye to the others.


*Door Slam*


Xander, realizing that he was unwanted too and that now Angel was there to protect Buffy, excused himself and also left, leaving the other three alone.


*Door Slam*




>So dead boy!... right on time huh??

>Faith!.... you know I don’t like it when you call me that..

>Geez... sor..

“Buffy interrupted the little conversation the other two were having.. the prescence of the vampire had already eased her anger a little”... >so... what brings you here?

>Actually I wasn’t gonna come until next friday if we didn’t solve things out over the phone.. but I was investigating something on a town that is two hours away... so I just decided to drop by.... so what I need to tell you is.. “he was interrupted by Buffy.”

>Does the bitch really have to hear what you have to tell me?


Faith opened her mouth in order to say something, but since she didn’t want any more trouble she just let some air go... 


>Actually Buffy, you already know is FAITH I want to talk to you about ...“he said emphasizing on the slayer’s name because Buffy had just called her bitch.” But ok... if you don’t want her to hear... come outside with me. Faith wait here ok?...

>Aight!



*Door Opens*

*Door Closes*



They walked to the back yard because Buffy remembered about Faith’s slayer hearing and she didn’t want the brunette to hear her conversation


>What are you gonna tell me about that bastard that in fact is inside my house doing God knows what. 

>Look this is complicated... and I am not the one who is gonna try to eliminate whatever hard feeling is between the two of you because that is something you have to do on your own, but there is one thing I can do... I can only tell you, or better... advice you... Buffy to be a little more understanding...

Buffy tried to interrupt the vampire, but in the moment she opened her mouth... it seemed that he already knew what she was going to say and he didn’t let her speak.... >I know Buffy you feel betrayed, you feel like you have to take justice on your own hands... and perhaps the only way for you to do that is by beating Faith up to death... I completely understand the way you feel.. I understand the way both of you feel... I know Faith feels dirty, she feels like she deserves to be beaten up to death for what she did... but you both are wrong somehow... you both gotta understand that it was a mistake and stop being so hard on yourselves... something happened to Faith and I am sure you are gonna talk about this later on... but Buffy believe me when I say that she made a mistake and she has changed. I mean.. she is not like some convent-raised girl... but she wouldn’t betray or do nothing remotely alike to what she did again. I bet my soul on that... We’ve all made mistakes.. and you are not the exception, whether they are big or small to the point of insignificance... we have all made mistakes.... just have on mind Buffy that nobody is perfect.. nobody... just talk to her... TALK to her... she has changed... have on mind that you are both the chosen slayers and that you are not meant to be killing each other... Look I can’t stay any longer Buffy I need to be in L.A. before sunrise and I still have a couple of things to do... so I am leaving the two of you alone confiding that neither of you is gonna hit the other and since apparently you guys have a lot to say to each other... it is the best for me to leave now...


The vampire was already leaving when Buffy grabbed his arm and turned him around


>Angel.... I... I can’t do this... she almost killed my mom... the most sacred thing in my life... now she wants to rape my baby sister... I... I can’t

>What do you suggest then?

>If you don’t want me to kill her... then take her as far away from me as possible.

>You have to deal with this Buffy.

Buffy looked at the ground for a little while, and by the time she raised her face Angel saw a tear sliding down her cheek. The slayer was mad and sad, she couldn’t hold her emotions... it was too much.


>Tell me... why does she always have to end up winning?? 

>what do you mean Buffy?

>That she always has it her way... see for example now... even you are on her side, when you should be on mine

>I am not on anybody’s side... I am just telling you what I’ve seen... and she has changed... am I supposed to take credit away from her and come here saying... HEY! I wanna take part of your Killing-Faith party too... just because she was mean in the past?... am I?

>No... I don’t know... I... I... I already had enough with her coming and bringing back all those memories “Buffy says sobbing” and then you... then you have the nerve to come here as if nothing had ever happened just to convince me I shouldn’t be mean to her... and you know what?.. I fucking won’t... I won’t be mean to her because you have that effect on me... you have an effect on me no one else has... because now.. the memories you brought back buried the bad ones she brought... ... did she call you?? Tell me... did she?

>She asked my help.

>So you came running to beg me not to kill poor Faith... the fallen goddess... 

>I... you are misunderstanding this Buffy.

>NO I am not... you are the one who doesn’t understand...

>Then make me understand.

>She did it just because she knew it’d make me suffer.

>Huh?... “Angel asks frowning”

>She called you because she knows that I... that I... never stopped loving you.

>No Buffy!... she did it because I am one of the very few people that really trust her, and she knows that you trust me as well and that is why she called me, because she knows that her word is worthless to you... but mine is not.. because she knows you believe in me and that is not so easy to fool a man who is more than two hundred years old... this is not about us... is not.

>See?... that is where you are wrong... “The slayer says pouring her heart out, letting go emotions she had promised herself she was never gonna let out”. it is all about us... everything’s about us... I’m all fucking about you Angel... can’t you just see that I coul never be the same again. Something is missing in my life... hapiness... you.

>That is why I left Buffy, otherwise it would have been too painful.

>yeah... like it hadn’t been enough pain to lose you... and now you do it again... you certainly have a talent... you... come again, after so much time.... then you leave... as if nothing had ever happened... to show off the fact that you are already over me... that you don’t love me anymore... that you don’t even think of me anymore...

>That is... that is just not fair Buffy.

>Just.. go... it rips my heart out having to see you here.

>No, not like this... you know I love you too...

>Then wh..

>You know why Buffy... this was wrong... this was impossible... you can’t tell me I didn’t try... but this wasn’t meant to be... I was never gonna be able to make you happy either way.

>I was happy

>Well you were fooling yourself... “He says lying trying to calm the blonde”

>No! I wasn’t. I was happy... so happy... “Buffy says running towards the vampire and then kisses him...” Why?... why you have to do this... why you have to bring everything I just can’t have... “she says punching him on the chest but not hard”.

He held the slayer’s wrists and with his other hand, he wiped the tears off her face... “Buffy, I... I just wish things were different... just... be strong... and don’t be mean to Faith I have to go, I am sorry.” And with those words he left, leaving a crying Buffy sitting on the wet grass of her house.



Buffy was still crying out of frustration, but she knew she still had to solve things with the dark slayer who had been waiting for her inside the house.


*Door Opens*




The first thing she saw when she stepped in her house was a wounded Faith sleeping on the couch... it was either that she was sleeping or that she had fainted, so she thought of waking her up... But she knew if she came closer to her... she’d end up hitting her again, so she just turned her stereo to the loudest, which was already real loud for people without their slayer hearing... now if you think about it, that kind of noise shouldn’t take long to wake a slayer up. And it did wake her up almost inmediatly.

>Holy Shit.. “Faith said jumping off the couch scared”

>Sorry, I just felt like music... “Buffy said kind of releaved Faith was not unconscious”.

>Aw... 

Buffy proceeded to sit down in the other couch, the one that was in front of Faith, she just lowered her head and looked at the floor still gone.

>B!... I mean... Buffy.... I... no, forget it.

>No, tell me!

>no, I shouldn’t stick my nose on that.

>No, go ahead tell me... “she said making it sound like a dare”.

>I.. I... I know this is none of my business, but are you crying?

>YES!... “Buffy says mad and embarassed at the same time”.

>Whoa... I... can I do anything about it?

>Thanks but no!.

>Look, I’m really sorry... I didn’t mean to... I shouldn’t have...

>Stop alright!... this isn’t about you, you are not the center of my life Faith.. I think I had already made that clear to you.

>I wasn’t gonna say it was because of me you were like that... but I brought him here... I was kind of just thinking of me, but I never consider the fact that you guys were a couple and that one of you might still be hurting.

>Well, you can add one more thing to your list.

>Damn it B!!!... this is not some kind of competence of who hurts the other the most... I messed up, I... I...

>give me your reason then... maybe that way we could analyze the amount of damage of your action.

>Buffy, there is no reason to do that kind of thing... I never meant to hurt you... I... I... no... I can’t tell you this... I won’t open to you, because the only damn thing you will do is laugh and humilliate me... without even trying to understand me... Just thanks for your time... this is a lost battle... please tell Dawn I’ll talk to her later. “Faith says opening the door and getting out of the house”.
