Angel- Its Buffy.
Willow starts to cry.
Willow- She's dead.
Cordy- What?
Gunn- (to Wesley) This is his Slayer she's talking about, right?
Wes- (to Gunn) Yes.
Angel- (in shock, doesn't move) How?
Willow breaks down crying. Can't speak. Cordelia runs up to her and holds her.
Cordelia- (to them, dotingly) We need to do something.
Tara comes in from outside carrying a bag filled with food.
Tara- (seeing what is going on) Willow?
Gunn- Who are you?
Tara- (a bit frightened by him) Uh... (runs to Willow) Baby...
Cordy sees Tara wrap Willow in her arms. She realizes who this is.
Cordelia- (mouths to Wesley while pointing at the girls) Girlfriend.
Gunn- (to Wes) What?
Wesley- I don't understand either.
They see Tara reach for Willow's face and kiss her lips. She's keeping her calm.
Gunn- Oh.
Wesley- (understanding) Yes. (sounds wrong) I mean, right. I get it.
Next scene.
Tara slowly and quietly walks out of a room. Fred is there.
Fred- How is she?
Tara- Sleeping. We've been up for days.
Fred- Aren't you tired?
Tara- I have to take care of her.
With the rest. Angel is present but not talking.
Wes- I cant believe this.
Tara- None of us do. Dawn is destroyed. She's with Giles but- Everybody's a mess. No one knows what to do.
Cordy - There's nothing to do.
Gunn- Will another Slayer be called? I mean- (he looks over to Angel, he's not even flinched)
Wes- I'm not sure. Kendra was called, then Faith. Faith is still the Slayer. I think.
Angel- Get out.
Wes- What?
Angel- GET OUT!
Everyone scampers off.
Cordy- (pointing a finger at Wesley) If he goes insane-
Wes- He's mourning.
Cordy- Remember what happened last time he mourned a loved one?
Gunn- We were fired.
Tara- What?
Cordy- (to T) Nothing.
Fred- Can I go get a taco now?
Cordy- Hello, Fred. A friend of ours just died. (suddenly it hits her) Oh my god. Buffy's dead? Wes- She cant- We... (breaks down crying, Wesley comforts her)
Tara- (is starting to tear up) But everyone else is fine... Dawn is still alive and things are ok in Sunnydale. Xander and Anya are engaged.
Cordy- What? Xander? He's getting married?
Tara- (oops) I mean-
Cordy- To Anya? That demon?! (cries more)
Fred- (to Tara) Honey, maybe you should stop talking.
Tara nods.
Next.
Willow slowly wakes up. The room is a bit dark but she knows someone is there.
Willow- Angel?
Angel- (he's lurking by the window) Yeah... Did I ever tell you I was sorry for killing your fish?
Willow- What?
Angel- I'm sorry. About your fish.
Willow- (about to tear up again) I don't remember. But thank you. I got new ones.
Angel- That's how it goes doesn't it? When something dies you just get a new one.
Willow- I didn't mean-
Angel- Life is like that. You love, you lose, you love again. You die, you come back, you live again.
Willow- Angel.
Angel- But she's not coming back, is she?
Willow- (starts to cry) No.
The rest are sitting about. Wes and Gunn are around Cordy. She's a bit better from earlier. Tara and Fred are sitting off talking, the outsiders.
Tara- You were in this Pylea for five years?
Fred- Yeah.
Tara- That must have been horrible.
Fred- I felt like I had lost my mind.
Tara- I know the feeling.
Wes- How are you feeling?
Cordy- At least I'm not getting a vision.
At that, duh, she gets a vision.
Cordy- AHHHHH!!!
The gather around her. Tara and Fred run up.
Gunn- I got you.
Fred- (awed) Is the princess having a vision?
Tara- Princess?
Wes- Are you all right?
Cordy- Obvioulsy not. Eww!
Wes- What?
Cordy- Not another sewer demon.
Gunn- What's it look like?
Cordy- Like- Alf?
Wes- What?
Gunn- I don't know.
Tara- The alien? From TV?
Cordy- Jackpot for Willow's girlfriend.
Tara- Um, Tara is just fine.
Cordy- (screams again) AHHHHH!
Wes- What?!
Angel and Willow run down.
Angel- What is going on?
Willow- Is Cordy all right?
Angel- She has visions.
Willow- Visions?
Angel- Long story. (to them) What?
Wes- Demon in the sewer.
Angel- What's it look like?
Wes- Alf.
Angel- Alf?
Willow- The alien from TV?
Fred- (to Willow) Can you guys read each others mind? (she points back and forth from Willow and Tara)
Willow- (looks to Tara) What? (tara shakes her head and smirks)
Angel- What does this thing look like? You know what, it doesn't matter. I'll go look for it.
Wes- Angel, the sun will be up in a few. Let Gunn take it.
Angel- It's in the sewer. No sunlight.
He takes off. The rest look at each other uncomfortable.
Gunn- I'd want to kill something too if I was him.
Later.
Willow and Tara in the room. Tara walks up to Willow who's on her side staring off into nothing. Tara sits by her.
Tara- How are you? (willow sighs, keeps staring off) Oh, darling. (starts to stroke her hair) Is there anything I can do?
Willow- (sniffles and looks at her) Make love to me.
Tara- Willow...
Willow- I feel like a part of me is dead.
Tara- (kisses her) No, honey, no.
Fred and Cordy.
Fred- So, you grew up with these girls?
Cordy- (with an ice pack at her head) With the redhead. She was in love with *my* boyfriend, well until he cheated on me with *her*, and now he's getting married to a vengeance demon *I* summoned. I can't do anything right except have these blinding visions.
Fred- But, she and Tara seem-
Cordy- Yeah, well, you never know. My best friend Harmony turned into a vampire and tried to kill me. People from Sunnydale are weird.
Fred- You're from Sunnydale.
Cordy- Yeah and I got visions, baby.
Wesley knocks on a door but doesn't wait for an answer. He enters. Tara jumps off Willow, and falls to the floor with a loud thump.
Wes- AHH!!!
Willow- Wesley!
Tara- Ow...
Wes- (covers his eyes with his hand) Dreadfully sorry. Didn't see a thing. Sorry. (backs out)
Wesley sighs after shutting the door. Gunn is outside smiling.
Gunn- Not even a little peek?
Wes rolls his eyes.
Willow reaches down to Tara.
Willow- Are you ok?
Tara- Rug burn. (Willow starts to laugh re: her smile and laughter) I love that. I love you.
Willow- (tearing up again) I love you, Tara. In this world and beyond.
Gunn and Wesley. Walking down the stairs.
Wes- I guess I'll have to go talk to Faith alone.
Gunn- Faith? The other Slayer? Isn't she in jail?
Wes- Yes.
Gunn- Then why talk to her?
Wes- She's the final Slayer.
Dun dun dun.... End.
