Pairing: Faith/Buffy
Summary: Moments set in the wacky, fun, angst filled relationship of Faith and Buffy.
Notes: This fic basically starts in season 7 of BtVS, the fight with the first goes down the same, but I've changed some key things in the season which gets us there. (so, basically forget Angel season 4 and 5). This story wont be a biggy.

Moments
------------
March 2003
"Do you believe in God?"
"I'm sorry?" I frown, confused.
"Do you believe in God, Miss Summers, yes or no?"
"I believe" I say curtly "That my religious beliefs can hardly be summed up with a 'Yes' or 'No' response."
"And why is that?" Lyle Burmington drawls sarcasm evident
"What does this question have to do with Faith's innocence? I called this meeting, and you're making me feel as though I am on trial, Lyle"
You know what's worse than a regular Council guy? A Council guy who doubles as a lawyer. Fun.
"This is a trial; you called us all here to have a convicted felon, released. Is it too much to ask for you to answer our questions before we fully assess your request?"
It sucks on a grand scale that they have this over me, I've always held some semblance of power over them, which has, you know, given me the edge. And, now here I am asking The Council for a favour, but I guess I have to think of the mission now, that's all that matters.
"Right" I say with an audible sigh "Proceed with the questioning"
"Thank you Miss Summers" Lyle grins, obnoxious ass that he is "Do you believe in God? What is your religious stance?"
"My religious stance? I'm a slayer…." I state, taking a moment to gather my thoughts
"I'm fully aware of that, and I don't believe that was the question"
"As I was saying, I'm a slayer; I've seen and experienced things you can never imagine. I've seen people; innocent people die stupid needless deaths. I've seen evil, evil in its purest form prevail and win. I fight night after night to try and help this world. So do I believe that there is one Supreme Being to whom I am meant to thank for this existence? The answer is no.
I've fought inter-dimensional Hell-gods, I've fought demons from the deepest levels of hell –"
"So you believe in hell? And 'Hell-gods'? But not God? Christ? That's hypocritical; you can't have one, without the other."
"Would you quit it?!" I demand, finally losing my cool "You want an answer? I'm giving you an answer, Let. Me. Finish." I say through clenched jaw
"I apologize" He smiles, I actually think he is happy that my cool façade has cracked "Please continue."
Game on, Lyle, you wanna play hardball? Well the Slayers up to bat.
"In a nutshell, Lyle; I believe in people, in humanity, I believe that for every Evil force, there is the same force of good, I don't believe that everything is black and white, I've had the pleasure of witnessing presumed 'evil' people turn into good people, I've seen these same people try and redeem themselves for what they have done. Faith Lehane not only wants redemption, she is actually in a position to help people, real people, and not by sitting in an office giving orders; by fighting every day, so that this world can survive another one.
I've seen good people die, bad people live, I've died twice, and come back from, from, I don't know what you would call 'Heaven'. I've been in Hell dimensions, and some of my closest friends have travelled and fought to stay on this earth, to help humanity. I see people continue to fight when they have lost everything. So don't ask me questions about 'God' ask me a question about what matters. I need Faith." Ha! Pun not intended
"If you want the world as we know it to survive The Firsts attack, you will have her released, and make it snappy."
I take a deep breath to gain some composure; I make eye contact with Lyle, and the other council members, I smirk
"If you think God or Jesus will save the world? You're wrong. It will be me and every other person who chooses to fight, so pick your sides gentlemen. Let Faith out legally, or I'll get her out; No jail holds a slayer"

Teaser for next chapter below!!!!
August 2003
"What do you want from ME? What is it that you think I owe you Buffy?" Faith seethes at me, half naked with an unknown-blonde-bimbo-watcher gathering her clothes from the couch. I really need to learn their names.
"First of all, I want you not to HAVE SEX ON THE SOFA! With a watcher! What would have happened if someone else walked in Faith? What then?!"
"Who cares what then?! Damn B! I thought that stick was finally removed from your ass. Why do you care who I have sex with anyway? You've been on my back since the day I stepped foot out of those prison gates, and I'm fucking sick of it, what is this about? Do you want me gone? I'll go!"
