Scene 17:Who am I???
(Xander and Willow are holding Spike, frozen with shock. Anya shrugs her shoulders and walks inside. Dawn gives them a gentle shove, to bring them back to reality and goes inside)
Missy: (Full of sarcasm) What, no friendly hello?
Xander: (Stuttering from shock) Um, Faith, um, well, what, um, what a pleasant shock.
(Missy rolls her eyes)
Missy: Yeah, whatever. Missy's what they call me now.
Willow: Um, Xander?
Xander: What?
Willow: (Annoyed) Could you two catch up when we're inside? My arms are getting numb from holding Spike so long since a certain ex demon didn't bother helping...
Anya: Hey, I held the door!
(Willow rolls her eyes)
Tarrance: (Very annoyed) Hey, would all of you shut up and just come in already?
(Willow and Xander looked at her with puzzled expressions on their faces and come inside. Missy smiles, for she was starting to rub off on Tarrance)
Missy: (In a very "couldn't care either way" voice) So, what happened to blondie? Did he get attacked by a puppy?
Dawn: Hey, you shouldn't make fun of Spike like that!
Missy: Oh really? Why not?
Dawn: Because, um, because he's really strong and could kill you!
Missy: (Rolls her eyes) Sorry to break it to you sweetie, but he couldn't even hurt a fly. Well, a human fly.
Dawn: (Embarrased at her outburst) Oh yeah.
Missy: And to top it all off, he's been so whipped from your sister that I doubt he could even kill Cliff.
Dawn, Willow, and Anya: Cliff?
Dawn: Who's he?
(Just then Cliff walks into the room)
Cliff: Angel, what kind of crappy place to stay is this? No food!
(Angel glares at him menancingly)
Cliff: (Chuckles nervously) Not that I mind or anything.
(He looks across the room to see strangers until he comes across a very familiar face)
Cliff: Say, I thought vampires didn't have mirrors.
Missy: Wow, wait! Cliff just thought! A first! Hey Tarr, got a camera? I think this is a Kodak moment.
Angel: Don't forget, he still failed to realizes that vampires don't eat "food food" for the past 1/2 hour.
Missy: (Agreeing) True, true.
Cliff: Hey, I'm serious! My face! I can see it across the room!
(He is looking directly at Xander. He shrugs his shoulders. Cliff shrugs his shoulders. He lifts his eyebrows. Cliff lifts his eyebrows. Xander picks something out of his teeth. Cliff picks something out of his teeth)
Xander: (Whispers to Willow) Why is that strange man copying me? Wait, is that me, like 5 seconds ago?
(By now, Missy is laughing hysterically)
Missy: Cliff, you're such a moron! Xander doesn't even look like you! (Looks at Xander) Okay, maybe he does, but you can tell the difference!
(Tarrance and Anya at the same time shout)
Tarrance: Two Cliffs?
Anya: Two Xanders?
(Both Xander and Cliff look at them at the same time)
Xander and Cliff: Oh my G-d, there's two of me!
Anya: Two Xanders? Yeah! Is this like the last time you were split into two, because I never got to have sex with the two of you.
Tarrance: Hey, no one's having sex with MY boyfriend!
Cliff: (Very dissapointed) No one?
(Both girls ignore him)
Anya: Hey, what the hell are you talking about? He's MY FIANCEE!
Tarrance: I have no idea what you're trying to say, since you're WAY too old for him! Besides, why would he go with you when he could be with me?
Anya: Because I am hornier than the average male and look good with about any hairstyle!
Missy: Hey, me too!
Tarrance: (Trying to sound intimidating) Okay, that's it! Bring it!
Anya: Oh, it's already been brought!
(Anya and Tarrance begin catfighting on the floor)
(Missy is laughing so hard, that she snorts. Everyone stares at her if she had just decided to become a nun)
Missy: What? You've never snorted before? Besides, you're all such morons. (Sighs and rolls her eyes) Okay, Cliff, this is Xander. Xander, this is Cliff.
Cliff: Xander?
Xander: Cliff?
Cliff and Xander: Dude!
(Anya and Tarrance stop catfighting)
Anya and Tarrance: Huh?
Cliff: Cousin Xander!
Xander: Hey, what's up?
(They go to hug but decide against it when they see Missy lift one of her eyebrows. It wasn't "manly," so they shake hands instead)
Xander: Wow, I haven't seen you for the longest time!
Cliff: Not since our parents got into that fight on what beer brand was better.
Xander: Dude, I still think it's Budweiser.
Cliff: No way, it's so Heinikin! [Don't know if that's spelled right, by the way]
Xander: No way!
Cliff: Yes way!
(They speak at the same time)
Xander: (Whispers to Anya) I was always the brighter cousin.
Cliff: (Whispers to Tarrance) I was always the brighter cousin.
Angel: That's really funny.
Cliff and Xander: Huh?
Angel: You both say the same things and move the same way, yet you guys can't even agree what type of beer is better.
Cliff and Xander: Huh?
Missy: Don't even bother, brood boy. They wouldn't understand.
Angel: Yeah, I guess you're...(Remembers what she called him) Hey! You better stop calling me brood boy!
Missy: (Rolls her eyes) Fine.
Xander: Hey, what happened to your snotty remarks?
Missy: Don't need them. (She walks over to Xander and punches him in the ribs)
Xander: Ow!!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy!
Anya: Hey, what the hell is your problem?
Missy: (Sarcastically) Awww, the girlfriend's standing up for him. How cute.
Cliff: Hey, lighten up!
Missy: (Angerly)Why the hell should I listen to you? You're not my real brother! You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time! Tarrance already knows. You can leave anytime.
(Cliff looks at her in hurt)
Missy: (Continues her speech) Like I'd ever have any real family! I hate you all!
Cliff: Missy, don't speak like that!
Missy: (Angerly) Missy? Missy? Who the hell is she anyway? I'm Faith, I'll always be Faith! You can take me out of Sunnydale, you can take me out of L.A., you can put me back in high school and even give me pom poms, but you'll never change who I am!
Courtney: (Thinks to herself) Kinda hits close to home, except for one thing. I'm a G-d! She's only a mere slayer! I'm pure evil! She's only semi evil! Hey, kinda like the Diet Pepsi of evil. Just one calorie, not quite evil enough! Hey, where have I heard that before, anyway? Aw well, don't care. That line is now mine!
(She chuckles outloud)
Angel: (Suspiciously) Hey, what's so funny?
Courtney: (Caught off her guard) Um... well, um, bunnies!
Anya: (Very offended) Hey, that's nothing to laugh about!
Courtney: (Decides to have a little fun) Oh, but it was sooo funny! Hundreds and hundreds of bunnies, all surrounding us, and they all were, so, um, fluffy!
(Anya huddles in the corner)
Anya: (Stutters) Ststop ththat, it's not funny!
Courtney: (Enjoying the pain she is inflicting) They all have these sharp teeth, and are munching on all of their carrots!
Anya: (Very upset) Xander make her stop!
Xander: Hey blondie, cut the crap!
Courtney: Or what? You going to attack a poor, defenseless cheerleader?
(Missy pins her to the wall)
Missy: He won't, but I will!
(She punches Courtney out)
Anya: (Gets out of corner and is all cheerful again. She punches the air) Take that, evil cheerleader!
Xander: Um honey, you weren't the one who knocked her out.
Anya: (Smiles) Oh yeah.
Tarrance: Hey, why are you always knocking out people, anyway?
Missy: Dunno. Just a habbit, I guess.
Cliff: (Stutters) Hey, Miss... um, I mean slayer, wait no, I mean Faith, I mean...
Missy: Spit it out already!
Cliff: (Turns red, but not from embarrasment) [oooooh, you made Cliff mad...] You know what, (does little quote things with his fingers) "Faith?" This is bullshit! I'm so sick and tired of taking care of you! You know, I really did think of you as a little sister. No, stratch that. Missy is like the little sister I never had. Faith, Faith is the lonely mess you were bitching about before. And you want to know something? Your toughness is just an act to cover up your insecurities. And if you want to live a lonely life in the darkness doing harm to others, then go ahead, but if you want friends, if you want to be loved, cut this "Faith" crap out and be Missy!
Missy: (Furious at Cliff) Hey, it's none of your G-d damn business how the hell I live my life!
Cliff: That's where you're wrong! Missy is practically my little sister, and I want her back!
Missy: That's bullshit! The only reason why you even know me is because Angel forced you to take care of me! He made you into a half demon just so little Faith wouldn't hurt anyone. Well, I have feelings, believe it or not, and I know that the only reason we're even having this conversation is because you're obligated to watch me until I die.
Cliff: Hey, I wasn't...
Missy: Yeah, what? You were born half demon?
(Xander looks at Cliff with a petrified expression on his face)
Xander: (Panicked) You don't mean to tell me that our family is part demon, do you?
Anya: Ooooh, wouldn't that be neat?
Xander: (Gulps) Sure, real neat...
Cliff: No, I wasn't born this way, but Angel didn't...
(Missy cuts him off)
Missy: And Tarrance, weren't you disgusted and dissapointed when you found out that I had dropped out of high school, that I been to jail, that I had killed someone innocent?
Tarrance: (Pissed off at Missy's assumption) Hey, how the hell could you know what I was thinking? I don't care that you dropped out of high school and had been to jail, I don't freaking care! I just want Missy back!
Missy: (Walks over to Tarrance) Yeah? Well if you want her, bring it!
Tarrance and Cliff: What?
Missy: Yeah, that's right, bring it!
Xander: Hey, is it your time of the month or something, cause you are not acting very pleasant.
(Missy glares at him with daggers in her eyes)
Xander: (Nervously) Um, just kidding. My ribs are still sore from the last time.
Willow: And my arms are so numb, I can't even feel them! Would someone mind helping me hold him or better yet, carry him to a couch or bed? He's heavy for such a thin guy!
Dawn: (Smug smile on her face) Muscles weigh more than fat.
(Willow and Xander stare at her in shock)
Dawn: What, it's true!
Willow: (Ignoring Dawn's comment) Xander, you hold Spike. Anya, you help him!
Anya: (Relieved to get away from Courtney) [even though she's unconcious, but that's not the point] Okay.
Willow: Come on Dawn.
Dawn: But the fight was just getting interesting!
Willow: (Slightly angery at Dawn) I'm not asking you, I'm telling you!
Dawn: (Folds her arms and stomps her foot) NO!
Willow: (A smug smile forms on her face) Okay, then I guess Spike will just have to be dragged on the floor if you refuse to help. I can't help, my arms are too numb.
Dawn: (A little too enthusisastic) You mean, I can help carry him? Yeah!
(She grabs one of his arms [which really wasn't too helpful, I might add], Anya the other one, and Xander grabs his legs. Willow follows them, and they walk out of the room to find his bed) [oh I wonder what they'll find there, cough, cough :)]
(Back to their arguement...)
Tarrance: Missy, I'm not going to fight you!
Missy: (Patronizing voice) And why not? Too scared?
Tarrance: No, because that's something friends don't do to each other!
Cliff: Missy, we're all friends here. At least, me and Tarrance are your friends.
Angel: Tarrance and I.
Cliff: (Rolls his eyes) Bite me. (Realizes he just said that to a vampire) Not literally!
Angel: Don't worry, never had much of a taste for demon.
Cliff: (Sighs) Whew, that's a relief!
Missy: (Patronizes Cliff) See Cliff, you're all terrified of the big, bad vampire! That's why you're watching me! Angel knew he couldn't keep me in prison, so he sent a guard instead. who he conviently turned into a demon!
Angel: Half.
Missy: Whatever.
Cliff': Missy, that's where you're wrong!
Missy: And another thing...(realizes what he just said) huh?!?
Cliff: Angel didn't force me to become half demon!
Missy and Tarrance: Huh?
Angel: Cliff, it's time you told them.
(Angel continues to stare into space and think)
Missy: (Very annoyed) Tell us WHAT?
Cliff: I became half demon to save your life, okay?
Missy: (Complete shock) What?
Cliff: When you were on the run from jail, you got into an accident. A car crash. You don't remember because you went into another coma, one you could wake up from unless you got blood fast.
Missy: I don't remember that!
Cliff: No, of course you don't. It was a coma! Anyway, you were going to die, since you lost a lot of blood and had had a coma before.
Missy: (Shocked) I, I don't understand...(Snaps out of her shock) And what the hell did you have to do with any of this?
Cliff: (He becomes near hysteria) I was the one who had crashed into you! I felt terrible! No worse, I felt like I deserved to die. I decided to watch you in the hospital, praying with all my heart you woke up. While I waited, I saw this man enter the room. He wore all black. He was your only visitor. He looked sad.
Missy: (Touched) He did?
Cliff: Yeah. When he saw me, his face, it changed into something evil. I thought that I was about to die, and was glad. I deserved to die! I had crashed into you because I was drunk from a party!
(Missy and Tarrance look at him in shock)
Cliff: When, when he pinned me the wall, he asked me how I felt. I said I hated myself. He told me that guilt was more torturious than death, and that he knew a way to save my soul from it. I told him I'd do anything to save you. He said that you needed blood. I thought no problem, I had done blood drives before. But you needed a lot more than a little. You needed half the blood in my body.
Tarrance: (Dread in her voice) Oh G-d!
Cliff: Angel, he told me that loosing half my blood would kill me and the only way for me to live was to become half demon. I knew what I had to do. He did this spell to save her life and to make me half demon. I'm not sure exactly what happened. All I know is that my left wrist was slit and blood was pouring out. Then I collapsed and everything went black. When I woke up, Angel told me that I had done my part and that you'd live. However, I still felt guilty. Incredibly guilty. I wanted to do more for you. I said I'd do anything to help you. Yes, I was afraid of him. He had just killed half of me, and even though I wanted him to, it's scary, knowing someone could do that to you.-
(Missy nodded her head in understanding)
Cliff: He told me that you would have to go back to jail, and that he didn't want that to happen. I asked him if I watched you, would you be able to stay out of jail. He said that he thought a guardian was exactly what you needed. But I had to swear never to leave you, unless you or I was killed, or if you became uncontrolable and I had to bring to jail.
(A tear falls down Missy's cheek.Words can't describe how she feels, and she hugs him)
(Angel and Tarrance smile)
Missy: I, I'm so sorry.
Cliff: I always wanted to help you. But then I got to know you, and you became my best friend.
(Missy begins to cry)
(Just then, the door bursts open and Cordelia and Buffy are standing in the doorway)
Buffy: Who are you guys?
(Xander and Willow are holding Spike, frozen with shock. Anya shrugs her shoulders and walks inside. Dawn gives them a gentle shove, to bring them back to reality and goes inside)
Missy: (Full of sarcasm) What, no friendly hello?
Xander: (Stuttering from shock) Um, Faith, um, well, what, um, what a pleasant shock.
(Missy rolls her eyes)
Missy: Yeah, whatever. Missy's what they call me now.

(Willow and Xander looked at her with puzzled expressions on their faces and come inside. Missy smiles, for she was starting to rub off on Tarrance)
Missy: (In a very "couldn't care either way" voice) So, what happened to blondie? Did he get attacked by a puppy?
Dawn: Hey, you shouldn't make fun of Spike like that!
Missy: Oh really? Why not?
Dawn: Because, um, because he's really strong and could kill you!
Missy: (Rolls her eyes) Sorry to break it to you sweetie, but he couldn't even hurt a fly. Well, a human fly.
Dawn: (Embarrased at her outburst) Oh yeah.
Missy: And to top it all off, he's been so whipped from your sister that I doubt he could even kill Cliff.
Dawn, Willow, and Anya: Cliff?
Dawn: Who's he?
(Just then Cliff walks into the room)
Cliff: Angel, what kind of crappy place to stay is this? No food!
(Angel glares at him menancingly)
Cliff: (Chuckles nervously) Not that I mind or anything.
(He looks across the room to see strangers until he comes across a very familiar face)
Cliff: Say, I thought vampires didn't have mirrors.
Missy: Wow, wait! Cliff just thought! A first! Hey Tarr, got a camera? I think this is a Kodak moment.
Angel: Don't forget, he still failed to realizes that vampires don't eat "food food" for the past 1/2 hour.
Missy: (Agreeing) True, true.
Cliff: Hey, I'm serious! My face! I can see it across the room!
(He is looking directly at Xander. He shrugs his shoulders. Cliff shrugs his shoulders. He lifts his eyebrows. Cliff lifts his eyebrows. Xander picks something out of his teeth. Cliff picks something out of his teeth)
Xander: (Whispers to Willow) Why is that strange man copying me? Wait, is that me, like 5 seconds ago?

(Anya and Tarrance begin catfighting on the floor)
(Missy is laughing so hard, that she snorts. Everyone stares at her if she had just decided to become a nun)

Cliff: Not since our parents got into that fight on what beer brand was better.
Xander: Dude, I still think it's Budweiser.
Cliff: No way, it's so Heinikin! [Don't know if that's spelled right, by the way]
Xander: No way!
Cliff: Yes way!
(They speak at the same time)
Xander: (Whispers to Anya) I was always the brighter cousin.

Courtney: (Thinks to herself) Kinda hits close to home, except for one thing. I'm a G-d! She's only a mere slayer! I'm pure evil! She's only semi evil! Hey, kinda like the Diet Pepsi of evil. Just one calorie, not quite evil enough! Hey, where have I heard that before, anyway? Aw well, don't care. That line is now mine!

You needed half the blood in my body.
Tarrance: (Dread in her voice) Oh G-d!
Cliff: Angel, he told me that loosing half my blood would kill me and the only way for me to live was to become half demon. I knew what I had to do. He did this spell to save her life and to make me half demon. I'm not sure exactly what happened. All I know is that my left wrist was slit and blood was pouring out. Then I collapsed and everything went black. When I woke up, Angel told me that I had done my part and that you'd live. However, I still felt guilty. Incredibly guilty. I wanted to do more for you. I said I'd do anything to help you. Yes, I was afraid of him. He had just killed half of me, and even though I wanted him to, it's scary, knowing someone could do that to you.-
(Missy nodded her head in understanding)
Cliff: He told me that you would have to go back to jail, and that he didn't want that to happen. I asked him if I watched you, would you be able to stay out of jail. He said that he thought a guardian was exactly what you needed. But I had to swear never to leave you, unless you or I was killed, or if you became uncontrolable and I had to bring to jail.
(A tear falls down Missy's cheek.Words can't describe how she feels, and she hugs him)
(Angel and Tarrance smile)
Missy: I, I'm so sorry.
Cliff: I always wanted to help you. But then I got to know you, and you became my best friend.
(Missy begins to cry)
(Just then, the door bursts open and Cordelia and Buffy are standing in the doorway)
Buffy: Who are you guys?
