Hello my readers! :D I have returned with more fun stuff, little side middle story before i start Season 9-just so i can get my plot for that one together first.
This is the second in my continuation series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer guys! I reccommend reading my other story "When Sunnydale Sets, Moonview Rises" first. If not...atleast the last episode since it has a synopsis of the whole story in the beginning. The gist, the gang moved to Moonview (town like Sunnydale with a creepy mystical forest around it) and got back to business. Giles and Andrew went with some other Slayers to England to re-open the council. Willow and Kennedy are deep in love with Tara's approval (long story). Dawn has a fancy necklace that lets her use the energy of the Key and two new best friends, a Seer named Krystal and a Warlock named Landon (another long story). Xander is now with Billie Cayne, a half human half banshee guitarist/singer who joined the gang. They helped her get control of her demon half and find her humanity and love with Xander's special help. They engaged at the end of the last story after Billie got a super power boost and became the Powers' Champion of the Light. (even longer story) Buffy and Faith put their pasts aside and bloomed a friendship that grew to more when they noticed the connection they have as both Slayers and recognizing each other's souls from a past life. They are starting to think they love each other but are afraid to tell one another (mildly cliche long story lol) Umm...Yeah i think thats about all ya gotta know basically lol :P
Word to my haters who despise my script writing style. Just dont bother then right? I get enough hate reviews about it, trust me :P lol but some people like it and i think it makes it even more like a continuation of the show. This one goes out to my amazing reviewers of the last installment, Tie, Willie, Violet, Jeremy, Kat, greenday, Enchantix and all the rest of yall! This is for you. Ya'll are the light through which these things come :D
I do not own Buffy! Said it a thousand times and i'll say it a thousand more probably. I also do not own any song you may see in this fic, all that goes to ABBA.
Enjoy guys! Read review and all that :D Peace!
Chapter 1—Vacation! Voulez Vous!
COUNCIL JET—DAY
The Scoobies all sit spread out around the comfortable Council private jet that is fully luxurious with a mini bar, carpeting, sound system, entertainment system, and leather furniture. Billie sits across Xander's lap in a recliner while they play on her iPhone. Kennedy sits with Willow leaned against her on a corner couch while she reads an old text. The teens are playing poker over at the table as Buffy and Faith sit together on another couch having a tickle fight that has become obnoxious to everyone.
BILLIE
For craps sake already! Lose the puppy love!
KENNEDY
Really, Lehane…you two are like, impossible to be around.
FAITH
(Buffy laughs as she continues tickling her. Faith looks over to Kennedy with a grin on her face) Well when we finally get a vacation from all the apocalypse junk we dealt with back in Mooned-View, I realize just how lucky I am.
WILLOW
(teasing as she reads her book with an innocent smile on her face in a sing song tone) Some-body's Buff-y whipped! (Kennedy and Billie make a whip cracking motion and sound. Faith gets up about to go after them but Buffy holds her back and hugs into her side)
BUFFY
Ignore it baby. (Faith gives her a smile and puts her arm around her)
DAWN
Sometimes I think they're aliens in Buffy and Faith's bodies. (she smacks her hand to the table) Full house! Sucker! (she rakes in the pot of candy and marshmallows as Landon and Krystal groan and throw their hands down)
XANDER
Really? We fight vampires, demons, and supernatural evils…and you come up with aliens?
DAWN
Yep. One of us would sense it if they were demons or possessed or something.
BUFFY (teasing)
I'm kind of insulted that you guys think just because I'm happy I'm under a spell.
KENNEDY
Yeah, but you're happy with Lehane. And boy is she happy with you. (Faith gives her a glare as Kennedy winks to her)
BILLIE
Naturally we gotta tease her.
FAITH
Says the demon gettin' married to a pirate.
XANDER
I've officially rewired my brain to take that as a compliment…
BILLIE
(she smiles to Faith) Come on, what kinda buds would we be if we didn't give ya a hard time?
KRYSTAL
Very boring ones. (she leans back in her chair as Landon deals the cards again) Like this trip…seriously who woulda thought flyin' private jet would be this boring!
LANDON
Oh yeah, no little kid kicking your seat, no sneaking into first class and no drunken guy yelling bomb before getting tackled to the ground by an air marshal.
KRYSTAL
Exactly! This is lame.
FAITH
Well then…(she gets up and walks over to their luggage in the corner of the jet) Lets play a little game I like to call The Secret Pocket (she smirks and wiggles her eyebrows)
BUFFY
Uhoh…she's got that look in her eyes. Never a good sign.
FAITH
Pretty much. (she grabs the first bag she can and flops it on the table. She looks at the tag and smirks at Krystal) Fortune Teller, what's in your secret pocket!
XANDER
I'm really lost with this…
BILLIE
She basically gets to open up the pocket that everyone hides their personal stuff in when they travel, pulls one thing out for everyone to see an' goes to the next one. Can be very entertainin'.
KRYSTAL (worried)
Ah hell…
FAITH
Oohhh! Skeletons in the closet huh? (she opens the front Zipper and pulls out a film canister, she opens it up and dumps out a few pills with a shocked expression) Well this is awkward….
KRSYTAL
Visions give me migraines, pills take away migraines.
LANDON
When we first told my grandfather about her being a Seer he got a friend to give him pills to stop the pain. Krystal may be chosen for them but she's still human.
KENNEDY
Well that's not juicy or shocking! (she gets up and walks over to the pile as Faith returns Krystal's bag. Kennedy picks up Faith's bag) Now whats in here. (she smirks as she drops it on the table deciding what pocket to open in the duffle bag)
FAITH
Ah hell no! (she grabs Kennedy's bag from the pile and sits it next to her own on the table) Not gettin' a peek in mine without me checkin' yours, Mini-me.
KENNEDY (frightened)
(she smirks as they both reach in a side pocket of their duffle bags and pull out pictures, they both look at them) My eyes!
FAITH (horrified)
(she drops the picture and clamps her eyes shut and drops the picture) Oh shit!
KENNEDY (horrified)
(she looks at Faith) Why would you take that with you!
FAITH (horrified)
Me? Like I wanted to see Red like that! (Buffy and Willow immediately blush and look at each other in shock)
BILLIE
(she starts cracking up) Oh you are a couple 'a sick pervs!
BUFFY (worried)
Faith…that better not be—
WILLOW (embarrassed)
Ken! (Both Kennedy and Faith look away and toss the bags back to the pile)
KENNEDY
Done with that game.
FAITH
Me too. (they both quickly sit down next to their girlfriends, both getting a smack in the shoulder)
BILLIE
How about we just find some good music. (she gets up from Xander's lap and walks over to a collection of CD's next to the sound system looking through the choices)
DAWN
Well why are we letting the forty year old pick the music…she's gonna pick some wacko seventies band or something.
XANDER
Probably because she's also the resident music genius. (he smiles to Billie as she gives him a smile in return)
BILLIE
Just for that. (she pulls a CD off the rack) Wacko seventies music it is. (she slides the CD into the player)
KENNEDY
Ah crap…what is it?
BILLIE
My favorite band from that time actually. (she smiles) ABBA.
WILLOW
Who now?
BILLIE
Oh come on…you guys never heard of ABBA?
BUFFY
Not all of us are old Billie. (she smiles as Billie rolls her eyes at them)
BILLIE
Mamma Mia? Come on…everyone saw that movie at least.
WILLOW
We're all sort of off Musicals since that little fiasco a few years ago.
XANDER
(he groans and reclines back in the chair) I'm sorry okay! Pardon me for wanting to have a little fun.
BUFFY
In his defense…that was a pretty dark time for me and that was sort of the highlight of a lot of bad times that year.
FAITH
I just seriously wish I coulda seen you guys all breakin' out into song!
DAWN
Yeah…you weren't about to be queen of a hell dimension though…
BUFFY
That…and you would have been singing too. (she smiles at Faith)
KENNEDY
Well I'd sing a tune if I got to see Faith sing one. (she smirks as she drinks her beer)
BILLIE
I'm up for it. Think livin' in a musical would be a riot. I used to be in musical theater in high school.
FAITH
Always wondered why she was such a drama queen. (Billie gives her a dirty look and turns to play with the sound system, getting nothing but static) Well? Waiting for this almighty seventies super music group Blondie, lay it on us.
BILLIE
(she toys with it and a loud screeching is heard) What the…(she hits the system and the screeching gets louder making all of them wince and cover their ears. Bright yellow light shoots out from the cd player to all of the Scoobies before any notice it. They stand back up cautious so the sound doesn't happen again. Their eyes all glow yellow for a second before they blink it away and shake their heads clear)
BUFFY
Geeze…that sounded like you screaming Billie.
BILLIE
(she tries to eject the disk but its jammed) Damn it…who's gonna break it to Giles that Faith broke the brand new sound system in the fancy private jet?
KENNEDY
I'll do it.
FAITH (sarcastic)
Thanks twerps…
CUT TO: COUNCIL JET—NIGHT
The Scoobies have all sat down to a movie before it turns off and the pilot's voice dings over the speakers.
PILOT
We're landing at the resort soon, everyone in a seat. Mr. Giles requested that you not leave his new jet a wreck either. (they all look around at the wrappers, chip bags, and empty cans and bottles and start giggling) However he assumed you would do as such so don't worry. He asked that I wished you a pleasant vacation as reward for your heroic efforts and not to worry about any expense within reason. Enjoy your stay on Rathlin Island.
LANDON
What's on this island anyway?
BILLIE
The entire island is a kick ass resort. People from Ireland an' England go there for this awesome tropical kinda vibe.
WILLOW
Alright, long as Xander promises not to wear one of those cheesy flower shirts.
XANDER (sarcastic)
Awe shucks, and I was lookin' forward to that!
FAITH
Well we all get our own rooms right?
DAWN
Yes Faith…you can have your wicked way with my sister while we're here. (Buffy looks at Dawn shocked) What? Think I didn't know? My room's right next to yours Buffy…just be happy I manage to get my iPod on before I'm scared for life.
FAITH
Better be more careful Buffy, you screamin' loud enough for Brat to hear ya just might scar her forever.
DAWN
(she starts chuckling) Yeah…unless Buffy was screaming her own name, not so much. (Billie and Kennedy start cracking up)
FAITH
You're gonna get it for that Brat…
DAWN
Pft, yeah. Beat up your girlfriends little sister. (she smiles as Faith leans back into the couch defeated) Face it, I'm untouchable.
PILOT
(he dings over the speakers again) Alright, we're beginning our decent now.
BUFFY
(she leans over to Faith as the others start chattering) Whatever they think, just know I think it's hot when you say my name like that.
FAITH
Well it better be worth it with all the crap Cayne and Suarez are gonna give me.
BUFFY
(she kisses Faith deeply, leaving her breathless) It will be.
FAITH
(she turns to the window quickly, getting worked up) Are we landing yet?
CUT TO: AIR STRIP—NIGHT
The jet lands on the small airstrip on the island. A tanned Irish man waits with several bell hops as the Scoobies exit the plane with their bags taking in the relaxing atmosphere.
BLAINE
Welcome to Rathlin!
BUFFY
Hey check it out, welcoming committee.
BLAINE
Of course. (He smiles as the bell hops take their bags) Nothin' but the best for our VIP guests. You all arrived in time to make the nightly beach bash.
FAITH
Nightly? (she smiles) Hell yeah! You guys sure know how to party huh?
BLAINE
We pride ourselves on it. (he smiles again) I'm Blaine O'Malley, Manager of this resort. Mr. Giles has requested to give you all the penthouse floor suite.
KENNEDY (shocked)
Penthouse?
XANDER (shocked)
Floor?
BUFFY (shocked)
Giles?
WILLOW
Well waddaya know! Giles opened up his wallet for us!
XANDER
I hope so…only way we'd afford that is if Billie signed on to be Beyonce's guitarist and Donald Trump bought Faith for a night. (Faith smacks him upside the head) Ow…
BILLIE
Worth it. (she kisses Xander) Well? Party time guys!
BLAINE
(he motions towards the lantern lit path) Follow the lanterns to the beach front and let the fun begin.
CUT TO: BEACH PARTY—NIGHT
The Scoobies all enjoy the huge Luau party on the beach front under the moon and stars. They all party with their tropical drinks around the tiki torches and the huge Bonfire to the music playing on the sound system. The area of the beach is packed much like a club.
BUFFY
(as she dances with Faith) Having fun?
FAITH
(she smiles and puts her arms around Buffy's waist) I'm here with you ain't I? (Buffy smiles and kisses her as they continue to dance with the beat)
KENNEDY
(her and Willow make their way back to the party after a walk along the beach through the tide holding hands) Well this is a cliché romantic moment if there ever was one.
WILLOW
(she smiles and kisses Kennedy) Even the biggest of cliché's are amazing if they're with the right kind of person.
KENNEDY
(she smiles) Wanna dance? (Willow nods as they make their way into the dancing crowd)
BILLIE
(her and Xander sit together at the bar) No…just 'cause we're in Ireland doesn't mean you can try out your accent. No matter how much ya say you've been practicin'. (she smiles as Xander dramatically pouts for a moment) Hey…I'm jus' savin' ya from bein' embarrassed. Its not an easy accent to pull off ya know.
XANDER
You pull it off. (he smiles) And I ever tell ya its really sexy to be with a girl with an accent?
BILLIE
Why do ya think I moved away? Not just to avoid my demon half…but I love feelin' all exotic. (she strikes a pose and makes her eyes swirl to a bright Caribbean Sea blue, the Celtic spiral tattoos running from her neck down her arms and to her back all trace gold before turning black again)
XANDER
Well I love you for all of your halves, if you're exotic or not. And I'm gonna marry you either way too.
BILLIE
Please, I'm the lucky one here! My fiancé has stopped like ten apocalypses. One of them completely on his own. Its like you're a superhero.
XANDER
Hey you stopped the last one. (he smiles and kisses her sweetly)
BILLIE
(she smiles and her eyes swirl back to brown) I might have control over it now…but its still amazing knowin' you can do that for me.
XANDER
(he smiles) Its what I'm here for. Wanna dance? (Billie takes his hand and they walk over to the crowd)
All the Scoobies are now dancing in the crowd. The couples dance together to the beat as the teens dance together in the crowd. All of the Scoobies eyes flash yellow, still unknown to them, before the crowd also glows yellow and returns to normal. The song changes and suddenly it seems that the party-goers begin dancing more organized to a sort of choreography to the pop-tribal beat playing. The girls separate from the guys and dance into two circles. The girls in a central mob and dance together as the guys stand surrounding them. The girls break out singing as they dance.
GIRLS (singing)
People everywhere
A sense of expectation hanging in the air
[the girls each turn to someone in the outer circle and beckon them forward. Faith turns to Buffy while Kennedy turns to Willow and Xander turns to Billie. The teens each dance with another islander]
Giving out a spark
Across the room your eyes are glowing in the dark
GUYS
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
[they spin their partners around and watch them intensely as they continue dancing]
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[The couples all dance together in a large collected mob, hands on each other's shoulders as they sway their hips and step together in sync]
GROUP
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
[The couples spin around away from each other then dance back together]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous—
[The couples split apart again, teasing their partner as they dance around each other]
GUYS
I know what you think
"The girl means business so I'll offer her a drink"
Looking mighty proud
I see you leave your table, pushing through the crowd
GIRLS
[They sway their hips to the beat, teasing their partners]
I'm really glad you came, you know the rules, you know the game
GUYS
Master of the scene
GROUP
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[The guys (including Faith and Kennedy) hold their hand to their partner who takes it to the beat. The two spin around and continue dancing]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
[the group breaks apart, each dancing cha-cha style in the mob together in step]
And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end
Masters of the scene
We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more
You know what I mean
[the couples get back together, dancing in the similar way they do through the chorus]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous—
[During an instrumental break the tight choreography breaks and the couples just dance together to the beat. Buffy turns her head to Faith as she dances at her back. Willow lays her hands on Kennedy's shoulders as they sway their hips to the beat. Xander puts his hands on Billie's hips as she dances with her hands over her head swinging her hair. The teens dance together before going back to their dance partners. After each 'Voulez-vous', the couples sway their hips getting lower on each 'ah-ha' before standing back up, repeating]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
Voulez-vous (ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
[the couples break apart into circles surrounding the large bonfire and circling it together dancing around it]
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Take it now or leave it (ah-ha)
Now it's all we get (ah-ha)
Nothing promised, no regrets
Voulez-vous (ah-ha)
Ain't no big decision (ah-ha)
You know what to do (ah-ha)
La question c'est voulez-vous
Voulez-vous—
Voulez-vous!
The group all breaks into a final pose before the party-goers return to normal before the musical number. The Scoobies all freeze looking around at each other shocked together by the fire. Buffy, Willow, and Dawn immediately turn to Xander. He backs away from them with a freaked out look on his face with his hands raised in surrender.
XANDER (quickly)
Nope! Not me this time, haven't touched any amulets since that one back at the Stretch to get me in!
WILLOW (freaked)
Then why did we just burst into song!
BUFFY
(her eyes go wide in realization) Last time we did this…we learned things we seriously shouldn't have. (The four with musical experience look freaked)
KENNEDY
Awe come on, it's a song and dance every so often. What's the harm?
DAWN
Well…people started to spontaneously combust the first time.
WILLOW
That, and the musical issue was when—(she turns to Buffy looking guilty) When we found out…
BUFFY
They ripped me out of heaven. (Faith, Billie, Kennedy, Landon, and Krystal all look freaked)
LANDON
But…that hasn't happened, nothing like that has happened. Well…besides Xander but he isn't all mopey. So we're safe…right?
FAITH
(she turns to Buffy then looks away) We all got our secrets we don't want shared right away…(Kennedy looks at her realizing she is afraid to tell Buffy she loves her) That…and no way in hell do I wanna end up with some cheesy solo ballad or somethin'.
BILLIE
Meh, I already sing love songs. (she smiles at Xander) Gotta admit its weird seein' you guys like that though.
KRYSTAL
Felt weird too…how do we stop it?
WILLOW
Well…we never really stopped it, the guy just left after we confronted him.
DAWN
What were we even singing about just now…
FAITH
Some other freaky language…hell if I know. (Billie looks in thought as she considers the song)
XANDER
Started with a 'V' I think.
LANDON
Was it German?
KENNEDY
Think I remember saying La question. Weird.
BILLIE
(her expression lights up as she realizes) Voulez-Vous!
FAITH
(she snaps and turns to Billie) That's it! Nice one Blondie.
BILLIE
No…not just that. Its already a song! (they all look at her confused) I thought I heard it before…it's kinda old though.
BUFFY
Who sings it?
BILLIE
(she thinks then she looks freaked in realization) ABBA does.
