The Seed Of Good & Evil Chapter 7
(Scene 1: Buffy and Spike are walking in the graveyard.)
Buffy: We have to find the demon that did this to Dawn, tonight.
Spike: And you think he's going to do what, show himself and say oh I'm sorry let me just take that chip out of her neck now.
Buffy: You're not helping.
Spike: And you're not thinking!
Buffy: I'm trying to save my sister.
Spike: Well you should be trying to save yourself or better yet, me.
Buffy: Typical, selfish Spike. Where have you been and can you go back now. . .
Spike: Think slayer. That demon didn't put a chip in Dawn's neck for nothing. He wants to control her in some way. Keyword being control. He can't do a thing with her if she's dead. As far as I see it she's the safest out of all of us. They need her, Buffy, but the rest of us. (Buffy stops walking.)
Buffy: Uhh. (Buffy rolls her eyes.)
Spike: What?
Buffy: I hate it when you make sense.
Spike: So do I. Believe it or not vampires aren't known for being sensible creatures. Go home; keep an eye on the ticking time bomb, all right. I'm going to gets some answers the old fashion way. (Spike pops his knuckles.)
Buffy: Pain.
Spike: Lots of it.
Buffy: Well don't go getting yourself staked, OK. (There's an awkward silence.) That's my job.
Spike: I knew that hint of consideration was too good to be true.
Buffy: That you did, but seriously Spike, maybe I need you more than I let on.
Spike: Just maybe?
Buffy: Don't push it.
Spike: (Buffy looks down.) No worries love. (Spike kisses her forehead.) No worries. (Spike smiles and walks away.)
(Scene 2: Xander, Anya and Willow are in the living room with Dawn.)
Dawn: I'm going to get a drink. Anyone want something?
Anya: Ice tea would be great, thanks. (Willow and Xander shoot Anya a look.) In fact, it would be even tastier if I got it myself. Why don't you let me get a drink for you also.
Dawn: OK, bring me a coke.
Anya: A coke, coming right up. (Anya goes into the kitchen.)
Dawn: (Dawn sits back down to watch television. She can feel their eyes on her. She clicks off the television.) OK that's enough.
Willow: What is it Dawn?
Dawn: Not that I don't like being waited on hand and foot or being the center of attention because it isn't all that bad, but I'd much rather have your trust.
Willow: We trust you.
Dawn: No you don't. You're all worried that something's going to happen to me. Well, I'm not going to break or explode or do something crazy. I feel fine; I don't care about this stupid thing in my neck. It doesn't do anything, but blink.
Willow: We don't know that for sure and until we do we just want to make sure you're safe, you know.
Dawn: Fine, put me in a straight jacket and lock me in my room. It would save you all the trouble. (Anya comes back into the living room she passes Dawn a drink.) This is a diet coke I wanted a plain coke.
Anya: Oh, right let me change that.
Xander: No, why don't you let Dawn go get her own drink. (Dawn smiles.)
Anya: So we're not playing servant anymore? (Willow rolls her eyes.) Oh, right I forgot, icks nay on the servant nay around Dawn.
Dawn: It's OK Anya, I already know what you guys were trying to do and I appreciate it, but I don't need it. (Dawn gets up and walks into the kitchen.)
Xander: You know, I think we underestimate her. I truly believe she's going to be OK.
Willow: Yeah, and maybe she's right. Maybe the chip isn't life threatening.
Anya: And maybe you guys should stop giving me directions in code. (Xander and Willow look at Anya.) What?
(Dawn closes the refrigerator and puts her coke on the counter. She walks over and opens up one of the drawers. She takes out a butcher knife and smiles at her reflection in the knife.)
Dawn: Perfect. (She lifts up the knife and stabs the top of the coke can. The soda bubbles over. She licks her fingers with the soda on it.) This should work just fine. (She smiles to herself.)
(Scene 3: Spike is inside the Bronze at one of the tables when Harmony walks up to him.)
Harmony: Hey. (She sits with him at the table.) I got your message and I was sort of surprise. I thought you were still hung up on Buffy.
Spike: Well I'm not. In fact ever since you kissed me you've been all I could think about. (Spike puts his hand on hers. She gets up and walks over to Spike and sits on his lap.) Now Harm, tell me, what have you been up to?
Harmony: A lot. You'd be so proud.
Spike: Oh you naughty, naughty girl, tell Spike everything. (Buffy walks into the Bronze. Harmony is talking, but Spike follows Buffy with his eyes.)
Harmony: I meet him and he has this plan. (Harmony looks at Spike.) Are you listening?
Spike: Of course I am. (Harmony sees Buffy so she looks at Spike and kisses him. Buffy is walking pass with her food when she sees Spike and Harmony. She looks down. Spike sees her leave the Bronze.) Damn it. (He pushes Harmony back.) Why doesn't she listen?
Harmony: Who?
Spike: I'll be back love. One second. (Spike gets up and leaves the Bronze.)
Harm: Idiot, I was going to give you another chance. Well Spiky, I'm going love staking you.
(Scene 4: Outside the Bronze. Buffy is walking away and Spike is walking after her.)
Spike: Buffy, Buffy wait.
Buffy: (Buffy turns around.) You better get back in there. I'm sure Harm is worried about you.
Spike: Let me explain.
Buffy: Did I ask for an explanation? No, I don't think I did so please continue your date with pain. I thought I fooled you, but I should have known your concern was the real act.
Spike: I love you Buffy.
Buffy: Who says those words never get old?
Spike: For a long time that fact was nothing but an empty threat to you.
Buffy: And what makes you think that's changed?
Spike: I see it and you know you feel it, I feel it, too. (Buffy pouts.) I saw the way you looked in there.
Buffy: Disgusted.
Spike: Hurt.
Buffy: What part of disgusted don't you get?
Spike: Don't know, maybe the part when you conveniently talk out both sides of your mouth. It makes things cryptic and all that. You've been denying what we have and now you have to face losing your confidence booster, your lap dog, because I'm tired of your little games slayer. Of rolling over and never finding a bone. I'm sick of it. (Spike begins walking up to her.) You make love to me and you say your disgusted. You kiss me when you think no ones watching, but you push me away in plain sight. You're carrying my child and act as if that means nothing to you. Maybe if that was Angel's son you'd give a...
Buffy: Wait, what did you just say?
Spike: I said if that was Angel's child and not mine.
Buffy: No, that's not what you said.
Spike: Well then you heard wrong.
Buffy: Tell me Spike. (Buffy grabs his shirt.) What are you hiding from me? WHAT!
Spike: He has a son, Buffy. Angel has a son. (Buffy slowly lets go of Spike. She turns away from him.) Willow says it's prophesized in some scroll that this would happen. Angel's child and my child born for the same purpose. This was fate. We were meant to be together.
Buffy: (Buffy turns back to Spike.) We made a mistake one night, Spike don't confuse that with fate.
Spike: That's not all we made. That's not just a child inside of you. It's destiny, yours, mines, and the fate of the worlds. Possibly the most incredible thing either of us has ever created. Deny me, but don't deny it. It's not a mistake, nothing ever truly is. My life and my death, they didn't mean a thing until the night you told me what we did, what we made together. So act like it's a mistake and the worst thing in the entire bloody world, but know this Buffy, you couldn't be more wrong. (Spike turns from Buffy and begins to walk away. She walks up to him and yanks his arm turning him towards her.)
Buffy: You, you!
Spike: Me, what? (Buffy kisses Spike passionately.)
