Buffy's House 9:45pm...
"You're just lovin' this, aren't you?" Buffy laughs
"You have no idea what I'm feeling." Faith says
"Come in here, take everything that I have... You did it before. Did you tell them that? Did you tell them how you used to kill people for fun? Hey, you guys think that's nifty?" Buffy growls
"Buffy, that's enough!" Giles stands up and looks at Buffy sternly
"I didn't come here to take anything away from you, but I'm not gonna be your little lapdog, either. I came here to beat the other guy, to do right, however it works. I don't know if I can lead. But the real question is...can you follow?" Faith looks at Buffy questioning her not only vocaly but mentaly.
"So we vote." Robin stands up and looks around to the SIT
"Wait. Guys - " Buffy looks around at everybody but no one makes eye contact until she falls upon Faith. She stares at her for a moment before continuing
"I can't watch you just throw away everything that-" Buffy holds her head high "I know I'm right about this. I just need a little - I can't stay here and watch her lead you into some disaster."
Dawn then stands and walks up to Buffy "Then you can't stay here. Buffy, I love you, but you were right. We have to be together on this. You can't be a part of it." Everybody watchs in amazment. "So I need you to leave. I'm sorry, but this is my house, too." Buffy looks around then walks out the front door. Faith then looks at everybody, her eyes fall on Dawn and she looks at her in disbelief.
" I can't believe you Lil D, she.. she gave her life for you!" Faith yells and then runs out the door after Buffy. She catchs up with Buffy on the sidewalk and grabs her arm.
"Hey. Look, I swear I didn't want it to go this way - "
" Don't." Buffy tries to pull her arm out of Faith's grasp
"I mean it, I - " Faith trys to explain.
"Don't...be afraid to lead them." Buffy starts to cry "Whether you wanted it or not, their lives are yours. It's only gonna get harder. Protect them..." Buffy looks Faith in the eyes "...but lead them." Buffy begins to walk away.
"No, I-I won't lead them with out you there B!" Faith runs up to Buffy and spins her around to have her only inchs from her face.
"Faith... don't please. I am begging you. They want you to be the leader now, not me. So just go in there and lead them." Buffy turns back around and Faith grabs her arm.
"B, I won't not with out you. So either y-you go back in there or-"
"Or what Faith? You going to run away again? Huh? There is nothing you can do! So just go and take over my life that is what you always wanted so here your chance!" Buffy was in Faith's face screaming at her.
"Calm down B! I won't run away like you but I won't take over your life either." Faith stepped back and pointed to the house. " Those people in there love you Buffy. They only want whats best. So will you get off your high horse and just listen to their opinons? Stop trying to be a the military and be their friends!"
"No Faith, those people in there" Buffy pointed to the house "Those 'people' in there don't love me. They only want to use me for protection. If they really loved me they wouldn't have pulled me out of heaven Faith! If they loved me they would have left to my peace!" Faith smacked Buffy as hard as she could.
"How in the hell can you say that B? They love you, that is why the pulled you out of heaven! They thought you where in hell and they cared about you so much to go to the extreme and try to save you! They didn't know that you where in heaven!" Faith was blood red now screaming at the top of her lungs "God damnit! How in the hell could you say that!"
When you're all alone,
and you need a light,
Buffy started to cry as she fell in to Faith's arms sobbing uncontrolably. "W-why? Why can't I-I b-b-be whole? F-Faith please tell me why?"
someone to guide you through the night,
just remember that I am here,
to hold you close and dry your tears. Oh-ooh
Faith stroked Buffy's hair as she cried. "Sshh, it's ok. B, it's going to be ok. Sshh."
And just when you thought you were falling,
but you know I'll always be right there.
"W-why? Why c-can't I be w-whole? W-why can't I just be whole again?"
When you're all alone,
and you need a friend,
someone to help you to the end,
"B..Buffy, I don't think.. you may not feel whole right now but I know, I can feel it Buffy. You are not empty, somewhere deep down is the old B that I used to know. When... when times get hard don't run away. Please don't because if you do... if you run away you'll turn out like me."
When you need someone to catch you when you fall,
I'll be there through it all. Oh-ohh
Faith placed her thumb under Buffy's chin and lifted it up to look into her eyes.
Cause just when you thought you were losing,
but you know I'll always be right there.
"I don't want you to be like me. I-I made some bad choices in my life when times got rough, and I ended up killing people. I don't want that for you Buffy. You don't diserve that. I won't let you go through this alone, I'll be right here beside you. No matter what."
And I'll be there through the good times,
and the bad,
Buffy looked into Faith's eyes and for once since she had been back she felt safe, at ease, and for once she felt loved.
and we'll be there for each other,
cause you're the best friend I've ever had.
"I promise Buffy, I won't let you down not this time. I will be here for you when ever you need me."
And just when you thought you were falling,
"Faith..I.." Buffy looked into Faith's eyes again.. Love... all she saw was love.
but you know I'll always be right there.
Faith looked into Buffy's eyes and her heart started to speed up.
oh-oooh whenever you need me,
I'll always be right there...
Buffy leaned in and captured Faith's lips in her own.
I'll always be right there...
