what happened in LA. Buffy and Riley find out there secret identities and
the truth unfolds.
Chapter 1:
Willow: Morning Buff.
Buffy: Hey Will.
Willow: Why are you up so soon. You seem to be in a rush.
Buffy: Well, Will we have a class in 10 minutes if you haven’t noticed
the clock.
Willow: Oh my god I over slept. What am I going to do.
Buffy: Hurry up get dressed. I’ll wait.
Willow: OK.
(At Professor Walsh’s class)
Walsh: Good class. I’ll see you again tomorrow.
(Buffy and Willow made there way out of class as Riley came up behind
them.)
Riley: So, Buffy where are you heading?
Buffy: Oh, Willow and I are going to Giles’s. Why?
Riley: Just wondering. So I can spy on you.
Buffy: Well, I just thought you were a TA and now you turned into my
stalker. How Fun?
Riley: Very Funny?
Buffy: I thought so.
Riley: Later
Buffy: Bye.
Willow: Making goggley eyes at our TA now.
Buffy: OK; now you’re the funny one.
Willow: Great now I won the award for best funny person on the Hellmouth.
Buffy: I’ll make Xander runner up.
Willow: I agree.
(At Giles’s house)
Buffy: OK am I here to save the world from the forces of darkness or
am I here to drink 50 gallons of tea.
Giles: Oh, well I brought you, Willow, and Xander here because I’ve
been reading this book lately and I’ve checked with a friend to confirm
the situation.
Buffy: What situation Giles? What’s going on?
Giles: Really nothing. It’s just there has been an innumerable demons
who have been missing lately in the Hellmouth area.
Buffy: Missing. You mean disappeared.
Giles: Yes.
Xander: Am I the only one here to say Yay?
Giles: Xander, It’s not just bad demons they’ve got good demons as well.
Buffy, they have your friend Whistler.
Buffy: He wasn’t a friend. He was more of an annoying pain in the ass
gnat that kept buzzing in your ear.
Giles: Even so. He helped you defeat…
Buffy: Please don’t finish that sentence.
Giles: I’m sorry Buffy.
Willow: OK, changing the mood in this room can this decline in our demon
population have something to do with those army guys?
Buffy: That would be our target. Can we go get um?
Xander: Ooh, we can use Spike as bait to get the Army boys attention.
Buffy: Why do I like that plan. Oh, right Spike’s bait.
Chapter 2:
(In LA)
Doyle: Angel, man what’s up?
Angel: I gotta tell her?
Doyle: Tell her what?
Angel: The missing day.
Doyle: Angel, Come on. You can’t.
Angel: I owe it to her. I have to. She deserves the right to know.
Doyle: Know what?
Angel: That I love her.
(Cordelia entering Angel Investigations)
Cordelia: OK, did I just enter on a depressing moment?
Angel: Cordelia, I’m going to Sunnydale.
Cordelia: Can I come? I’d like to see my burned down high school life.
Angel: Fine. Doyle, can you stay here and close the place. Call me if
somethings up.
(Doyle has a vision of Buffy fighting the Army guys.)
Angel: Doyle, what is it?
Doyle: I’d get to Sunnydale and fast.
Chapter 3:
(At night. Spike is next to the coffee shop, Buffy and Willow are drinking
coffee and Giles and Xander are in the bushes.)
Buffy: I’m gonna get another cup. (Saying to Willow)
Buffy: decaff coffee.
Riley: hey Buffy. You’re out late.
Buffy: Well, ya know.
(Buffy looks around in suspicion. She thinks she feels Angel but she
shakes it off because she knows it’s not true.)
Riley: You Ok.
Buffy: Yeah, I think so.
Riley: Not to cut this short but, I’ll see you later.
Buffy: Sure.
(As Riley leaves Buffy sees The Army boys taking spike. An independent
soldier was walking after them.)
Buffy tapped on the shoulder of Soldier guy
Buffy: Excuse me.
Soldier: For What?
Buffy: This.
(As Willow, Giles and Xander look on they watches Buffy knock out the
Soldier and put on his outfit to be in disguise and follow Soldier boys
who have Spike with the Scooby Gang following her.)
(At that moment Angel was being taken away by the Soldier Army.)
(At Soldier base. Angel was put in his sell)
Angel: What is this place?
Riley: Let’s just say this is your new home.
(Angel was mad and at that moment he turned all vampy)
(Buffy and the others arrived. Buffy went with the Soldiers and the
others found there own way in. They met together downstairs. Buffy felt
Angel again.)
Cordelia: Hey everyone saving the world again.
Buffy: Cordelia, what are you doing here?
Cordelia: I followed you in. Where’s Angel?
Buffy: He’s here!
Cordelia: Oops.
Xander: I see you haven’t changed from high school.
Cordelia: Likewise. So, what do we do? Save Angel.
Willow: And get the good demons out and kill the bad ones.
Cordelia: Got it.
(Buffy saw Professor Walsh and Riley.)
Buffy: Willow, Check it out.
Willow: Great, our professor is demonstrating human behavior.
Cordelia: Try demon behavior. Look.
Giles: They’re doing certain tests on demons. Strange?
Buffy: Giles, why can’t they just look in your books for the info they
need?
Xander: Can I interrupt. Buffy, when are you gonna kick some Army ass.
Buffy: When I get ready. Hold on.
Willow: Buffy.
Buffy: What?
Willow: Angel.
(Buffy looks up and sees him. She swallows hard while taking the army
outfit off to show her normal clothes underneath and her weapon.)
Buffy: My turn to play.
Giles: Will back you up.
Buffy: Thanks.
(Buffy got out of the corner under the stairs and stood and walked toward
Professor Walsh and Riley and tapped Riley on the shoulder.)
Buffy: Hi Riley nice place you got here. (She punched and kicked him
down)
Buffy: Professor Walsh. Is your fear of me considered to be human behavior?
Walsh: What do you want?
Buffy: let Angel go.
Walsh: Why should I?
(At that moment the electric rays from the gun came from a Soldier and
into Buffy. She collapsed. The others went to her.)
Buffy: Ow. That hurt. (She got up and started kicking the soldiers in
the face and punching them.)
Professor Walsh: Stop!
(The soldiers stopped in their place and stood there.)
Walsh: Why do you want to free a demon.
Buffy: Because he’s a good person.
Walsh: Person. They’re evil.
Buffy: Not that one.
Riley: Who is he Buffy?
Buffy: A fighter a warrior. My protector.
(Riley stood there from shock)
Buffy: Let him out along with Whistler and a few others.
Walsh: Let them out.
Riley: Who are you?
Buffy: I’m Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Riley: Huh.
Buffy: Giles will explain it to you.
(They opened Angel’s sell and Buffy looked at Angel with pain and fear
in her eyes. Buffy shed a single tear that slid down her cheek as she saw
angel lying on the floor in pain. She kneeled down beside him and put a
hand upon his cheek. Angel opened his eyes slowly and breathed in her scent.
He missed feeling and breathing her in even though he had no breath. Buffy
leaned in and kissed Angel on his forehead. Angel looked at her with all
his memories of how he pictured and visualized her in his thoughts and
memories all coming to life at that very second. )
Buffy: Hey.
Angel: Buffy.
Buffy: You OK.
Angel: I can’t feel anything.
Buffy: What?
Angel: Some hurts. But, it’s numb.
Buffy: What did you do to him?
Walsh: We did an experiment.
Buffy: Reverse it.
Walsh: What gives you the right to tell me what to do?
Buffy: The fact that I’m the chosen one and I can whip your ass.
Walsh: Well see what we can do.
(Then, they took Angel to an examining room and put him in a chair.)
Buffy: Will this work?
Giles: Let us pray.
(Angel was sitting in a chair and a red light coming toward his eyes
giving him visions of his past and Buffy. As the experiment had been reversed
Buffy went to Angel. She put her hand on his.)
Buffy: Can you feel me?
Angel: Yeah.
Buffy: Good. Let’s go home.
(Buffy took Angel to the old mansion)
Angel: So, Whistler and the other good demons are free?
Buffy: Yeah and the others will be spending an eternity in hell.
Angel: Believe me it’s not fun there.
Buffy: Yeah well, I should go?
Angel: Buffy?
Buffy: Yeah.
Angel: Did you ever wish I were human?
Buffy: Only about ten-zillion times.
Angel: thanks.
Buffy: You know probably even if you were human it wouldn’t work.
Angel: I know. I have proof of that.
Buffy: Yeah well, I wish I did because I’ll always wonder.
Angel: Wonder what?
Buffy: If I can have a normal life with you.
(Buffy was walking out of the mansion)
Angel: I’m sorry Buffy.
