AN: Thank you for the review and to those that read this. I figured no one would actually like it so all my expectations were surpassed. SON and BTVS don't belong to me.
Faith walked into the hotel just after 4 P.M. She was smiling slightly at the afternoon she had and some of the younger Slayers were scared to see the usually reserved woman smiling. Buffy watched wearily as Faith walked through the lobby.
"Faith." Buffy greeted stopping the once rouge slayer to look at her. "Where have you been all day?"
"It doesn't matter, B. Did you need something?" Faith ignored the blonde's question.
"No, I was just wondering." Buffy dismissed her question as well.
"Okay then, I will be talking to Angel, if you need me to do something." Faith said as she walked into Angel's old office.
"Hey, Faith. How'd it go with your family?" Angel asked.
"Oh, just peachy. My little sister and dad want me around but then again they were the two that talked to me most while I was locked up. The other two are still undecided and the Bitch just completely hates me. Oh, great news, Spencer is gay now." Faith answers flopping into a chair opposite his desk and throwing her feet up on the desk.
"How is that great news and have you thought more on working with us at Wolfram and Hart? Sorry about Paula." Angel inquired.
"It means when she comes out to her mom, she will know that her mom can't hate her any worse than she does me. I did think on it and I will stay here in L.A. but I won't work for Evil Inc. I've worked with that place before and I tried to get myself killed. I know you think you can change it but I don't want to fall into that darkness again." Faith answered seriously.
"Okay, but if you change your mind there is always a spot for you. You can stay here while you think on what you want to do now that you are free." Angel offered with a smile.
"Cool. Well, I will see you later, Soul Boy, and thanks for the place to stay." Faith remarked as she got up and left the souled vampire's office.
Monday morning rolled around; Spencer and Ashley were walking into school. They were holding each other's hands and were joking. Madison walked by and couldn't resist the urge to mess with the two girls.
"I didn't know this was the island of Lesbos." Madison insulted as she just strutted on by laughing along with her sheep.
Ashley frowned at the comment and couldn't help but think Spencer was too good for stupid little comments about her sexual orientation. Spencer noticed Ashley looking deep in thought and was worried that something was bothering her but the brunette was quickly smiling at the caring blonde.
"So, how was your Sunday?" Ashley wanted to avoid any serious conversations.
"It was good. Mom got mad because I spent the night with you but, on a better note, my sister is going to be living here in La-la-land." Spencer responded with a wide smile.
"Wait, I didn't know you had a sister." The brunette commented on this new fact and Spencer's smile dropped a little.
"Oh, yeah, I guess, I just forgot to mention it. You tend to make me forget things." Spencer said blushing.
"Awe, Spencer, that's sweet yet a little pathetic." Ashley joked but continued asking, "Why don't you tell me about her now?"
"Well, her name is Faith and, luckily for you, Mom dislikes her more than she does you." That was all Spencer got out before the bell rang and they had to rush to class
Later that night, Faith had been feeling cooped up in the hotel and decided to check out more of the night life in Los Angeles. She walked into a place called Greys and immediately went to the bar to drink. Since in all the time she had been out of prison, Faith had yet to have a night to herself and alcohol. She was looking around the club when a flash of blonde caught her eye. The brunette slayer's eyes went straight back to the sight of her sister sitting at a booth next to a somber looking brunette. Faith started in that direction, just to say hi to Spencer, when the young blonde got mad and left the table not bothering to look back. The brunette looked like she wanted to say something as Spencer stood and left but didn't for some odd reason. Faith was stuck between going after the infuriated blonde and giving the girl that had put her sister in that state a piece of her mind. The latter won as she approached the sulking brunette.
"Hi there." Faith said to get the girl's attention and she did.
"What do you want?" Ashley stood staring into the taller girls eyes.
"Oh, that's cute. You think you're a little badass." Faith smirked at the younger girl.
"Look, my night isn't going well. So, I would just leave me the hell alone, Bitch." Ashley snarled.
"Not until I know just what the fuck you did to my little sister that had her storming out of here." Faith responded chuckling inside when Ashley's eyes went wide at that comment.
"You… you're Spencer's sister?" Ashley stumbled over her question.
"Yes, I'm Spencer's older ex-con of a sister, now, answer me." Faith said watching as the younger brunette started to freak out a little.
"I questioned whether she actually wanted to be with me or if this was just a phase." Ashley spouted out in her semi-panic.
"Okay, as funny as it is to see that I can still be the bigger badass, I don't want Spencer to get mad at me for this so calm down and tell me why you would ask such a stupid question." Faith remarked hoping to calm Ashley as she sat on the other side of the relaxing rock princess.
"I was scared. I really like her but I'm not easy to be with and she deserves so much better. I'm Ashley, by the way." Ashley semi-rambled.
"Oh, I know. Spencer showed me a picture of you. I just wanted to put a little fear in you for making her mad. Just so you know, it doesn't matter what you think might be best for Spencer, only she can decide that." Faith smirked again.
"I know but I don't want to be hurt if she wakes up and realizes that I'm not what she wants." Ashley responded looking down at the table a little uncomfortable at sharing all this with a stranger, let alone Spencer's sister, but caught Faith's eye as she stood to leave.
"If you close yourself off, then you're going to end up like me." Faith stated starting to walk away from the emotional talk that was happening.
"Just getting out of prison?" Ashley questioned the retreating slayer.
"No, alone." Faith yelled over her shoulder as she left, leaving Ashley sitting there thinking.
AN: Just seemed like a time to stop but please review, even to tell me you hate it.
