Ext. Graveyard Night
Buffy is as usual fighting the baddies with the scoobies helping her. One vampire runs and Buffy chases him, but he has led her to a trap and she is encircled, but kicks but anyway. Just then in to her rescue comes a girl who fights the vampires too, with the occasional dusting of a few. Buffy dusts a vampire and turns around to face her helper when the girl punches Buffy square in the face. Now Buffy is the slayer and isn't usually phased by something like this, but… This girl is strong too.
Buffy: Hey what's your….
The girl again punches Buffy and her nose begins to bleed. The two girls begin to fight. The others find Buffy and try to help.
Xander: Ooh Chick fight.
Tara: Strong girl fight. Slayer?
The scoobies try to help Buffy to no avail. Xander tries to control the girl, but she pushes him off. Nothing breaks up the fight until Giles finds them and pulls the girl off of Buffy as she strangles her, Giles throws the girl hard and she hits the girl. Giles attends to Buffy.
Xander: What is that? What is she….Hello am I the only one who thinks we should tie up strong girl here?
Tara: Giles careful she could be a slayer.
Anya: She's strong like one…
Giles walks over to the girl, Xander holds the crossbow at her. Giles turns the knocked out girl over and is in shock.
Giles: Lexy?
Anya: Lexy… you know her?
Buffy comes out of unconsciousness.
Giles: I should. She's my daughter.
opening
Lexy Giles wakes up in Giles bedroom. At first she doesn't know where she is. She looks around lost, then sees a picture of Giles and the scoobies on the bureau. She painfully walks over to the bureau and picks up the picture examining it, everyone. She is especially drawn to the closeness of the slayer and her father, the father who was not there for her.. A tear rolls down her face and she smashes the picture. She hears the voices of the others in the living room and puts on her shoes and leaves out the window.
Back in the living room everyone sits around having drinks and pizza.
Buffy: Why didn't you tell us?
Xander: Yeah that your chid is a slayer… oh yeah and that you have a child.
Giles: She's a strong girl. Lexi is not a slayer… I would have known.
Anya: When? When you spent so much time away from her?
Xander: Anya, be frank please.
Buffy: She attacked me Giles, now there's a reason there.
Giles: We'll find out when she awakes.
Buffy: How about we go wake her ass up! She attacked me Giles!
Giles: Buffy please…
Buffy: Okay. You want to stall? Why didn't you tell us about the little princess?
Giles: She's my daughter, what more is there to tell?
Willow: I don't know Giles, maybe something like you having a child… I thaught we would know something like that.
Buffy: I should have known. You're my watcher! You're the closest thing to a father I've ever known.
Tara: When was the last time you saw her?
Giles: I … I haven't… for a while now?
Xander: How long is a while?
Giles: Seven years.
Buffy: Seven years? Seven Years? Oh it's all getting pretty clear now! She attacked me, because you left her to watch me.
Giles: It was all my choice.
Tara: What about her mother?
Giles: Miriam… passed on when Lexy was three years old.
Buffy: My God! My God! Giles, not to make you feel any worse, but what kind of man leaves his child alone! To watch over a slayer!
Giles: I have obligations…
Buffy: You're damn right! You have obligations to your daughter!
Xander: Gee Buff, sound a bit like the anger girl.
Buffy: At least now I know why she wooped my ass! Was she even staying with family?
Giles: I made sure to put her in the best private schools. All though she chose not to stay..
Buffy: Can you blame her?!
Buffy starts to go in the bedroom.
Giles: Buffy where are you going?
Buffy: I'm going to go talk to your daughter…
Giles: She needs her rest.
Buffy: No, you need to rest up on the procrastination to go see your daughter!
Buffy opens the door and Lexy is gone!
Buffy: Or maybe you don't have to…
Giles looks in the room and sees she's gone out the window.
