The gang was going through their daily routine. They were walking around Sunnydale with Xander and Willow playing movie lines and Buffy and Faith were "fighting"
"Look B, don't yell at me cause you're jealous that I was making out with Amy," Faith says, smirking at Buffy's glare.
"I was not jealous! It's just Faith if you get suspended one more time, you'll be expelled." Buffy says annoyed, "I really don't want that. I don't why I just don't" Buffy yells and Faith sighs "I wish I knew why. Maybe she does like me. Nah, Faith, that's just wishful thinking."
"B, have I ever told you that you're hot when you're angry." Faith says flirtatiously as Buffy groans "she thinks I'm hot! I know she tells me that all the time but still"
"You are so annoying!" Buffy says speed walking away from Faith.
"I like to think that's one of my better points" Faith yells before running after Buffy.
They didn't know that Xander and Willow were watching them as they always do. "Do you ever think they'll figure out that they're in love?" Willow asks and Xander chuckles. "Nope"
What they didn't realize was that very soon, Faith's foster parents were going to move, all the way across the country, to Boston.
The Gang sat around and watched a movie. Faith, however, was watching the gang, especially Buffy. "God I'm gonna miss them, I never wanted to get this attached to them. I gotta tell them sometime" Faith thinks and watched Buffy with a sad smile "B, I'm not really sure what I'll do without you. No I don't wanna think about that." Faith smiles as Buffy jumps from the movie. Buffy finally looks over at Faith concerned seeing Faith upset. "Jeez, she looks so sad"
"Whats wrong?" Buffy mouths and Faith sighs mouthing back "Nothing" but Buffy moves closer to Faith, almost on her lap. Buffy slides her hand into Faith's under the blanket and looks up into Faith's eyes, noticing that they're so close, their noses are almost touching. As they lean in slowly, Xander screeches and Buffy and Faith pull back quickly, pretending to watch the movie. After a few minutes, Buffy put her head on Faith's shoulder and they both sigh contently. Unaware of Xander and Willow's knowing and hopeful looks. Everytime a scary part in the movie would happen, Buffy would bury her head in Faith's neck and Faith, who had put her arm around Buffy, would hug her. "Sure all of this has to happen when I'm moving!" This thought only causes Faith to hold Buffy tighter against her. "I wish I knew what was wrong"
After that night, Faith and Buffy would still fight but Buffy would also sit on Faith's lap with Faith's arms around her and they would walk hand -in - hand. One night at the dance, and the night before Faith's still unknown move. Faith took the chance the whole gang wanted. Since Buffy didn't have a date and Faith didn't either, they decided to go together. It was one slow song that Faith took the chance of a lifetime.
"B, you wanna dance?" Faith asked holding out her hand. "um sure" Buffy took it as they walked to the dance floor, Faith slowly slides her hands around Buffy's waist as Buffy slips her arms around Faith's neck. "Maybe I should just tell her now." Faith thinks as they stare into eachothers eyes. Buffy slowly cups Faith's cheek saying, "Sometimes I watch you. I see your thoughts play out on your face. I see your sadness and hesitation and I only wish I knew what you were thinking." Tears swell up in Faiths eyes and she blinks them away. "Buffy, I'm-, I have to-," " God I can't do this"
Faith struggles with her words and Buffy pulls Faith closer and whispers in Faith's ear " It's okay, You can tell me" Buffy pulls back to see Faith's teary eyes. Sighing, Faith steels herself for the hardest words in her life "Buffy, tomorrow. I'm moving to Boston" As Faith looks down she hears Buffy gasp and feels Buffy lift her chin, Faith is staring into wide, teary eyes. " This is a joke right. This is some really joke lame joke." Buffy says frantically but Faith shakes her head "No its the truth" Faith says pulling Buffy close to her as Buffy cries into her neck.
When Buffy calms she pulls back with an angry look. "Tomorrow?" Faith nods sadly " Why didn't you tell me sooner? Do Xander and Willow know? You really dont like me do you? You just didn't want me to know because you ha-" "love you" Faith thinks, cutting Buffy off she says " I didn't want to tell you because I knew it would be the hardest. I guess if I told you that I was leaving it would confirm that I really am. Buffy I don't wanna leave cause" Faith takes a breath deeply, determined "I'm in love with you" Faith says and Buffy, who is still crying slaps Faith and runs away leaving a crying Faith on the dance floor.
