I don't own these characters. I am merely a fan trying to make my way through the summer reruns with out screaming.

Teaser: Buffy and Vic walk through a cemetery. A demon growls behind them. Vic is quick to turn and kicks the demon in the head. The demon shoves Vic into a tree and she hits it with a thud, sliding to the ground.

BUFFY: Vic!

Buffy punches the demon. He swings at her, and she blocks his arm, and uses her leg to sweep under him. He falls on the ground. Vic has finally gotten up.

VIC: Buffy!

Vic throws Buffy a sword, and Buffy stabs the demon in the heart.

BUFFY: (to Vic) You ok.
VIC: I'll be fine.

Enter: Buffy's room there are no black sheets covering her windows: rather, heavy curtains so that the light can't shine through. It is like this throughout the house. Buffy gets out of bed and pats Spike on the stomach.

BUFFY: Come on, time to wake up.

She walks out of the room and goes down the hall.

BUFFY: Dawn! Willow! Get up - it's time for school.
WILLOW: Ok.
DAWN: I'll be down in a sec.

Buffy walks down the stairs and to the basement. She knocks on the basement door.

BUFFY: Vic! You'd better wake up or you'll be late for work.
VIC: I'm up! I'm up!

Buffy walks into the kitchen. She gets out some plates and some glasses and sets them on the island. She gets out some juice and starts pouring it into the glasses. She starts a pot of coffee, and gets pots and pans out. Vic comes up the stairs from the basement.

BUFFY: How do you want your eggs?
VIC: Scrambled - like my head.
BUFFY: We tell you not to drink - you drink anyway.
VIC: I think I smashed my head a little too hard on that tree last night.
BUFFY: That'll do it to ya.

Buffy scrambles Vic's eggs and slides them onto a plate.

BUFFY: There ya go.
VIC: Thanks.

Vic sits down at the island and eats her eggs. Dawn and Spike come down the stairs.

BUFFY: How do you guys want your eggs?
DAWN: Sunny side up.
SPIKE: Yeah, that sounds good.
BUFFY: Ok.

Spike goes tot he refrigerator and pulls out a pint of blood. He begins to drink it. Vic looks up from her eggs disgusted.

VIC: You hungry?
SPIKE: Just a bit.
VIC: Well while you're there could you hand me some aspirin?
SPIKE: Sure Vic the Vixen. ( Hands Vic some aspirin) You hung over again?
VIC: (annoyed) No! (calmly) I just hit my head on a tree last night.
SPIKE: Ah.

Willow walks in the kitchen and pours herself some coffee. Buffy puts Spike and Dawn's eggs on their plates.

BUFFY: Enjoy. (To Willow) Hey, Will, how do you want your eggs?
WILLOW: Broken yokes.
XANDER: Make that two.
BUFFY: Hey, Xand.

As Buffy cooks the eggs we get a shot of her engagement ring. It is a silver band with a hexagon-shaped diamond. Buffy serves Willow and Xander their eggs.

BUFFY: I think I'll have scrambled. Hey, do we have any cheese?

Buffy goes to the refrigerator and rifles through it. She pulls a bag of shredded cheddar out.

BUFFY: Yes! I found it.

Buffy goes to the stove and sprinkles cheese into her omelet.

XANDER: Whelp, we'd better go, huh girls?
VIC: Yeah, I should be getting to work.
DAWN: And me school.

All three get up and head for the front door. Buffy follows them.

BUFFY: You guys got everything?
DAWN: Yupp.
BUFFY: You got money for lunch?
DAWN: Yupp.
BUFFY: Ok, well, then you two have a great day, and I'll see you later today.
VIC: Alright. See ya.
DAWN: Bye.
XANDER: Bye, Buffy.

Vic, Xander, and Dawn walk out of the door.

BUFFY: Bye!

Buffy picks up the newspaper off of the front porch and heads into the kitchen. Her eggs are sitting on a plate on the island.

BUFFY: Thanks, whoever finished my eggs.
WILLOW: Didn't want em to burn.

Buffy eats her eggs as she reads the paper.

BUFFY: Ooh! The wanted adds.
SPIKE: You have a job.
BUFFY: I don't wanna be working at the Double Meat Palace for all eternity.
WILLOW: Point taken. So what's in there?
BUFFY: Well, I could work at the high school in the office. But I don't think Dawn would like that.
WILLOW: Well, just ask her about it first.
BUFFY: Yeah, I will.
SPIKE: What else is there?
BUFFY: Nothing much else. Most stuff requires the full college education that I don't have.
SPIKE: Any night jobs?
BUFFY: What, are you looking for a job now.
SPIKE: Well, I have to contribute some, don't I?
BUFFY: The Bronze is looking for a bartender.
SPIKE: That could work.
WILLOW: (joking) Aww. Our little Spikie is growing up and getting a job. I gotta go get dressed and head to school.
BUFFY: Ok. I think I'm gonna call Dawn at school, and ask her about the job. First I'm gonna get a shower.

Willow and Buffy go upstairs. Spike sits at the island. He turns the paper around and read the add for the Bronze: Bartender needed between the hours of 10pm and 3am. Call Between the hours of 8am and 12n. Spike looks up at the clock: 8:15am. He goes to the phone and dials the number. The phone rings.

SPIKE: (oh the phone) Hello, yes, I was calling about your add in the paper about the bartending job... Yes, I'm well over 21.... Well, yeah - I drink... in moderation, of course, but I know a lot about mixing drinks and all that... Ok, at nine o'clock tonight? Ok...(Spike grabs a pen and paper and starts writing down information) I ask for John. Ok, see ya then. Buh bye.

Willow comes downstairs and into the kitchen.

SPIKE: Well, I got an interview at the Bronze.
WILLOW: Oh, that's good. I better be going.
SPIKE: Bye.

Willow walks out of the Kitchen door and shuts it behind her. Spike goes into the living room and sits on the couch. He turns on the TV and starts watching cartoons. He starts dozing off and falls asleep on the couch.

About ten minutes later, Buffy comes down the stairs and into the living room.

BUFFY: Wake up, Sleepy head.
SPIKE: (waking up) Oh, hey.
BUFFY: Hey. I'm gonna go call Dawn now. She has study hall right now.
SPIKE: OK.

Buffy goes into the kitchen and dials the number for the school. The phone rings.

SECRETARY: Hello? Sunnydale High?
BUFFY: Hi, yes, I need to speak to my little sister: Dawn Summers. She should be in study hall.
SECRETARY: Hold on, let me have someone get her.
BUFFY: Ok. thank you.

The secretary puts Buffy on hold and calls a student over to go and get Dawn. Buffy waits on the phone.

DAWN: Hey, Buffy, what's wrong?
BUFFY: Why would anything be wrong.
DAWN: Because ypu're calling me in the middle of school.
BUFFY: Well, nothing is that wrong. I just have a question for ya.
DAWN: What is it?
BUFFY: Would you mind if I worked at the school?
DAWN: What? Like a janitor?
BUFFY: (offended) NO! Like a secretary at the office or something like that.
DAWN: No, I don't really care, as long as you don't bother me.
BUFFY: I promise I won't.
DAWN: Ok, then, can I go back to class now?
BUFFY: Go ahead, I'll see ya later.
DAWN: Bye. (hangs up the phone)

Buffy hangs up the phone and grabs the newspaper. She dials the number for the office of the school. A different secretary answers the phone.

SECRETARY: Hello? Sunnydale High School Human Resources?
BUFFY: Hi. I saw in the paper that you have an opening in your office.
SECRETARY: Yes we do.
BUFFY: Well, I was wondering if I could get an interview for that.
SECRETARY: Do you have a resume?
BUFFY: Ye-yeah, I do.
SECRETARY: Well, bring it down here today, adn we'll see hwat we can do.
BUFFY: Ok. Thank you. Bye.
SECRETARY: Bye.

Buffy hangs up the phone. She then stands still.

BUFFY: Oh, God.
SPIKE: (from the living room) What's wrong?

Buffy walks into the doorway of the living room.

BUFFY: I have to find my resume.
SPIKE: You have to find it?
BUFFY: Yeah, after I quit college, I was pretty upset, so I typed up a resume to try to make myself feel like I accomplished something.
SPIKE: Well, it's changed now, right?
BUFFY: Yeah. It's on Willow's lap top.

Buffy runs into the dining room to find Willows lap top sitting where it usually is.

BUFFY: Thank God, she didn't take it to school.

Buffy sits down and goes through the files until she finds her resume. She adds her jobs at the Double Meat Palace, and he one day at the Magic Box, and her other one day doing construction. She saves it and clicks print.

BUFFY: There.

She runs up the stairs to pick the resume out of the printer in Willow's room. She grabs the resume and goes back downstairs. Spike is standing at the foot of the stairs.

SPIKE: All better?
BUFFY: Yupp.
SPIKE: Good, now come and watch TV with me.
BUFFY: I can't. I gotta go turn this resume in and try to get a job.
SPIKE: Right this second.
BUFFY: Yes, I really want a new job.
SPIKE: Fine, I'll be waiting here for you.

Cut to: The Magic Box. Vic, Anya, and Giles sit at the usual table. The table Spike and Anya had sex on. Vic leafs through some demonology book. Anya sits there checking in some invoices. Giles is reading a book.

ANYA: Hey, Vic, can you put these crow's feet where they go, please?
VIC: No problem.

Vic grabs the crow's feet and puts some of them out in their appropriate place. She doesn't have enough room to put them all out.

VIC: Hey, Anya, there isn't enough room for all of these.
ANYA: Ok, then go put em in the back.
VIC: Ok.

Vic heads into the back room.

SPIKE: Hey, Vixen!

Vic jumps about three feet back and puts her arms up in blocking position. The, she realizes it's Spike.

VIC: Spike! (catching her breath) What are you doing here?
SPIKE: Oh, Buffy went out for a job interview and I thought I'd just stop in and say hello.
VIC: You're stealing, aren't you?
SPIKE: No...well, yeah. (Hold up a gangly handful of roots) I like to put em in the blood makes it crunchy and spicy.
VIC: Nice. Better not let Anya catch you here. How did you get here, anyway?
SPIKE: Through the sewers - they lead anywhere in Sunnydale.
VIC: Good to know. Well, I've gotta get back to work, and you've gotta go. See ya later.
SPIKE: Later.

Vic heads back upstairs.

ANYA: What took you so long?
VIC: Oh, I forgot where they were supposed to go.
ANYA: Did you find the right place?
VIC: Yupp.
ANYA: Good, now put these out.

Vic grabs some jars of green slime and sets them where they go on the counter.

Cut to: Sunnydale High School: Human Resources Office. Buffy walks in. She walks up to the front desk.

BUFFY: Hello, I'm Buffy Summers, I'm here to see about the job in the office at Sunnydale High.

The secretary grabs Buffy's resume from her hand. She looks at the front and then the back.

SECRETARY: You get the job.
BUFFY: Not to seem ungrateful, but isn't there some interview process or something that I have to go through?
SECRETARY: The High School isn't really too picky on who they hire - if you were in college for a day and then dropped out, they wouldn't care. Just fill out his paperwork (hands Buffy some paperwork) and bring it back here as soon as possible, and you can start.
BUFFY: Ok. Thank you. D-do you know what I'll be doing in the office?
SECRETARY: Answering the phones, you'll be in the attendance office, so writing passes, checking in late students, stuff like that.
BUFFY: Ok, then I'll be in with this stuff ASAP. Thank you - bye.
SECRETARY: Buh bye, sweetie.

Cut to: The Summers' house. Buffy walk in to find Spike just as she left him.

BUFFY: I got the job.
SPIKE: That's great!
BUFFY: Yupp, all I have to do is fill out this paperwork.
SPIKE: I got that interview at the Bronze.
BUFFY: Spike, that's great!
SPIKE: Yupp, I gotta be there at nine o'clock for the interview, and ask for John.
BUFFY: Well, I'm proud of you. I'm gonna go fill this out.
SPIKE: I'll still be here.
WILLOW: (from kitchen) Hello? I'm home.

Buffy rushes into the Kitchen.

BUFFY: Will, why are you home so early?
WILLOW: A couple of my classes were cancelled.
BUFFY: Well, then you can help me with these forms.
WILLOW: What forms?
BUFFY: I got the job.
WILLOW: That is great, Buffy.

Willow and Buffy sit at the dining room table filling out the paperwork.

Cut to: the Magic Box. Vic sit back down at the table and starts leafing through the book again. She stops at a page.

VIC: Hey, this is the demon Buffy killed last night. It says they usually travel in large groups. This one was alone.
GILES: Strange.
VIC: They're called the Reproduttori, they're here to colonize, or at least that's what the book says they're here for.
ANYA: That's not good.
VIC: Why not?
GILES: Well, we don't want a bunch of demons running around spreading chaos around Sunnydale.
VIC: Good point.
ANYA: Does the book say if they're peaceful or not?
VIC: Well, from the looks of the one we had last night - not too peaceful.
ANYA: But he was all alone, right? I mean, maybe they were just passing through and he got left behind.
VIC: I doubt it.
GILES: Yes, they'll probably want to reproduce on the Hell Mouth.
VIC: I guess we'll be patrolling tonight.
GILES: I'll call Buffy.

The phone rings at the Summers' house. Buffy picks up the phone.

BUFFY: Hello?
GILES: Buffy, we've got trouble.
BUFFY: What kind of trouble?

Willow and Spike rush over to Buffy.

WILLOW: There's trouble.
BUFFY: (to Willow) Shhh.

GILES: The demon you killed isn't supposed to travel alone.
VIC: Give me the phone! (Vic grabs the phone from Giles) Hey, Buff.
BUFFY: Hey.
VIC: The demon is part of a group of demons - they're kind of like chaos demons, but a little less scary. They wanna colonize on the Hell Mouth.
BUFFY: So we've gotta go find the rest of them.
VIC: Yupp, which means we patrol.

Giles grabs the phone from Vic.

GILES: Just get over here right away with everyone.
BUFFY: Ok, I just gotta drop this paperwork off for my new job.
GILES: You got a new job?
BUFFY: Yupp, at the High School.
GILES: Well, good for you.
BUFFY: Thanks. We'll be right there.
GILES: See ya then.

Buffy hangs up the phone.

BUFFY: So apparently the demon I killed last night doesn't work alone. And we have to kill them before they reproduce.
WILLOW: Oh, well, that's not good.
BUFFY: Spike, you stay here and wait for Dawn, and then meet us at the Magic Box. And if you see Xander, tell him to meet us there, too.
SPIKE: Will do.
BUFFY: We'll call you with any news.
SPIKE: Ok, you'd better get going.
BUFFY: Ok, c'mon Will.
WILLOW: We should probably get some weapons?
BUFFY: Good idea.

Buffy and Willow run upstairs and come back down with a duffle bag full of weapon.

BUFFY: See you later, Spike.
SPIKE: Bye.

Buffy and Willow leave.

Cut to: The Magic Box.

ANYA: So Buffy is gonna work at the High School?
GILES: That's what she said.
VIC: Well, good for her - it's not suitable for a slayer to work at a burger joint. Especially a fast food one.
GILES: Anything else on the demons.
VIC: (shuts book) Not in this book.

Vic gets up and looks for another book. Xander walks in the front of the Magic Box.

XANDER: Hey, all. Just came to give Vic a ride home from work.
VIC: Xander, hasn't anyone told you? There are some major evil demons about to colonize in Sunnydale.
XNADER: Ok, who wants donuts?
ANYA: I want the custard filled ones.
GILES: Jelly - double up on the jelly.
XANDER: (to Vic) any requests?
VIC: Custard filled sounds good to me - or those ones filled with the white frosting - those are good too.
XANDER: Ok, I'll go get those, plus the usual for Buffy and Will.
GILES: And Dawn and Spike.
XANDER: That big of a bad?
ANYA: That big.
XANDER: I'll go get the donuts.

Vic leafs through another books. She finds a page on the Reproduttori. She starts reading it.

VIC: Ewe!
ANYA: What?
VIC: Ewe! It says here that after intercourse, the female Reproduttori give birth to their young through their mouths. It only takes about a half an hour for the babies to develop.
ANAY: That is sick.

Giles takes the book from Vic and reads on.

GILES: It also says here that there is one male Reproduttori who impregnates all of the females.
VIC: So if we kill the male, they can't reproduce?
GILES: (continues reading) All but one of the males are killed at birth.
VIC: (sarcastically) Oh, how sweet.
GILES: Oh, here's something. If all of the males in the colony die - the female can no longer survive and will kill themselves.
VIC: Thank God, less work.

Cut to: The street: Willow and Buffy have just exited the Human Resources building and are heading for the magic Box.

BUFFY: I'm late, Will.
WILLOW: Late for what?
BUFFY: My period.
WILLOW: Oh, Buffy, I'm sure it'll come soon. You've been exercising a lot lately, they say if you exercise a lot, you don't have periods.
BUFFY: No, Willow, I've exercised a lot more than this, and that's never happened, well, once but that was at the beginning of college. No, it should have been here like a week and a half ago.
WILLOW: And it's still not here?
BUFFY: It gets worse. I took the little stick test.
WILLOW: Maybe it was a fluke.
BUFFY: I took it twice.
WILLOW: And both times it was...positive?
BUFFY: It' like the only test I passed, and it's the only one I didn't want to pass.
WILLOW: I thought vampire can't have babies?
BUFFY: Well, Angel and Darla did - maybe it set something off and now they can.
WILLOW: How are you gonna tell Spike?
BUFFY: I don't know.
WILLOW: Well, at least you know he loves you, and he wants to marry you - even before he knows about you being pregnant.
BUFFY: Yeah, you're right.

Cut to: The Summers' house. Dawn walks in the front door.

DAWN: Hello! I'm home! Spike! Buffy?
SPIKE: Come on, we've gotta head to the Magic Box.
DAWN: Why?
SPIKE: Big demon trouble.
DAWN: What kind of Demon trouble?
SPIKE: The kind where you're needed to help. Be grateful, kid.
DAWN: We'll see about that.
SPIKE (grabbing his blanket) Come on, lets go.

Spike and Dawn leave the house and shut the door behind them. They walk to the magic box. Dawn looks a little embarrassed because she is walking with a guy who has a blanket over him. They enter the Magic Box. Buffy, Willow, and Xander are all there discussing what has been found out already.

SPIKE: Hi all.
XANDER: Hey Spike, Dawn.
DAWN: Hey.
SPIKE: So what do we know?
VIC: They wanna reproduce on the Hell Mouth - causing chaos.
BUFFY: It only takes 30 minutes after they have sex for the baby to be born.
ANYA: In a really nasty way.
GILES: And if all of the males in the population are dead - the females will kill themselves.
BUFFY: So all we have to do is kill the males.
WILLOW: But we don't know where they are.
XANDER: And we don't know how to distinguish males from females.
SPIKE: So why don't we break up into groups and find this stuff out.
BUFFY: Ok, Spike, you and I will go look around town for where they could be hiding. Vic and Xander, you two go try to get some information on where they could be. Everyone else - research mode. Sound good?
SPIKE: I have an interview at nine. Not to mention, it's still daylight.
BUFFY: Good point. Willow, you wanna come with me to find where they could be.
WILLOW: Sure.

Willow, Xander, Buffy, and Vic leave the Magic box.

ANYA: (to Spike) You have an interview?
SPIKE: Yeah.
ANYA: What kind of interview.
SPIKE: The kind for a job.
GILES: Where do you plan on working?
SPIKE: The Bronze is hiring a bartender.
ANYA: How suiting.

Spike scowls at Anya.

GILES: Well, good luck.
SPIKE: Thanks.

Dawn goes and grabs some books from the self and sets them down on the table. Spike picks one up and goes though it.

VIC: So where do you think we should hit first?
XANDER: I dunno, Willie the Snitch?
VIC: Who's that?
XANDER: Some guy we used to go to in High School, I wonder if he's still around.
VIC: Wouldn't hurt to try him.

Vic and Xander head to Willie's bar.

XANDER: Let me do the talking.
VIC: Spike said that last week, and I ended up saving him from some poker-playing demon.
XANDER: I'll do the talking - you do the ass kicking.
VIC: Works for me... So is that how you are normally?
XANDER: What do you mean?
VIC: You the type of guy who is all talk - very little action?
XANDER: Hey! I do my part of action.
VIC: But usually you just make snide little comments.
XANDER: (sarcastically) Boy you really know how to read people, don't you? I act, it's just usually when I do, I end up being thrown somewhere by a huge demon and knocked unconscious.

They arrive at Willie's.

XANDER: This is it. remember I talk.

They walk in the bar. It hasn't changed a bit. It is empty because it's early in the day. Someone is wiping the counter, but it isn't Willie.

XANDER: Where's Willie?
MAN: I don't have to tell you.
XANDER: Well, then, maybe you could help us. We're looking for where some demons hang out.
MAN: Demons?
XANDER: Yeah, you know demons. Those weird looking guys with funky skin conditions that like to hang out here.
MAN: Yeah, I know what a demon is.
XANDER: Well, we're looking for where the Reproduttori hang out. You know who I'm talking about?
MAN: (lying) Sorry, can't say I do.
XANDER: Do you know what a slayer is?
MAN: Some old myth about a chosen one.
VIC: Oh, it's no myth.
XANDER: What's your name?
MAN: Johnny.
XANDER: Johnny the Snitch, I like the sound of it. Well, Johnny the Snitch, I'd like you to meet my friend Vic: the Slayer.
VIC: How do you do?

Vic jumps over the counter and punches Johnny in the stomach. Johnny grabs his stomach.

XANDER: (leaning over the counter) Now, let me repeat it for you: i need to know where the Reproduttori are living. Do you have that information?
JOHNNY: They're shacked up in the old High School Building - the library.

Vic pats Johnny on the head.

VIC: Thanks Johnny - be seeing you.
JOHNNY: I hope not.
VIC: That's good, I like that.

Vic and Xander leave Willie's.

XANDER: Let's head back to the Magic Box.
VIC: Don't you think we should find Buffy and Willow? So they don't search any more?
XANDER: Yeah you're probably right.

Cut to: Buffy and Willow walking down and alley looking in abandoned warehouses.

BUFFY: If you were a demon, where would you wanna have sex?
WILLOW: I dunno. Where did Spike wanna have sex?
BUFFY: Everywhere and anywhere.
WILLOW: Well, that doesn't help us.
BUFFY: God! Willow what am I gonna tell him, and everybody else for that matter?
WILLOW: The truth: that you're pregnant.
XANDER: You're pregnant!?!

Willow and Buffy jump back and then turn around; startled.

VIC: (Hitting Xander lightly on the shoulder) Never sneak up on a Slayer, or you'll end up with a stake in your heart!
BUFFY: Especially in these alleys - this is where it happened before.
XANDER: But, Buffy, you're pregnant.
BUFFY: Yeah, I know.
VIC: Congrats. We found where the demons are.
WILLOW: Where?
XANDER: The High School. The library to be more specific. Willie the snitch has been replaced with Johnny the snitch.
BUFFY: Good to know. Well, we should head back to the Magic Box, then.

They start walking to the Magic Box.

XANDER: Buffy is pregnant.
BUFFY: Yeah, Xander, we all know that now. But could you keep it down, I haven't told Spike or anyone else but you guys, yet.
XANDER: My lips are sealed.

Cut to: The Magic Box. The Sun has just set.

SPIKE: Found anything yet?
DAWN: No, you?
SPIKE: Nope.
ANYA: Me neither.

A few minutes pass.

ANYA: Found anything yet?
SPIKE: Nope.
DAWN: Me neither.

A few minutes later.

DAWN: You found anything yet?
ANYA: Nope.
SPIKE: Me neither.
GILES (angrily) Will you three stop!?! We'd get a lot more work doe if we'd just work.
SPIKE: (to Giles) Have *you* found anything yet?
GILES: No, no I can't say I have.
ANYA: Neither have we.
GILES: Just stop! Read!

A few minutes pass.

SPIKE: You found anything yet?
DAWN: Nope.
ANYA: I have.

Everyone looks up.

ANYA: The females and males are a completely different color. We haven't noticed it because most of the books have no color, but look.

Anya flips the book around on the table so everyone can see.

ANYA: The males are yellow while the females are that weird purpley color.
GILES: Is it different when they're babies?
SPIKE: No, it says the babies are the exact same way.

Buffy, Vic, Willow, and Xander enter the Magic Box with another box of donuts and coffee.

DAWN: Any luck.
BUFFY: They're in the old High School library. This from Johnny the Snitch: Willie's replacement. Did you guy have any luck?
DAWN: The boys are yellow and the girls are purple.
BUFFY: Good.
GILES: Now all we need to know is when they'll reproduce.
SPIKE: The next full moon.
BUFFY: The Full-full moon, or the night before?
SPIKE: Doesn't say.
GILES: Probably the night before.
BUFFY: That's tomorrow. We have time. Everyone can go home and get some rest.
XANDER: I'm all for that.

Xander is the first one out of the door followed by Giles.

BUFFY: Come on, Vic.
VIC: I have to help close.
BUFFY: Ok, well, we'll see you at home.
VIC: I'll be right there.

As Anya is closing she pushes in all the chairs at the table.

ANYA: Oh, look, Xander left his tool belt. He might need it tomorrow.

Vic looks up: the perfect opportunity.

VIC: I'll take it to him on my way home.
ANYA: Ok.

They walk out of the Magic Box and Anya locks up.

VIC: I'll see you tomorrow.
ANYA: Oh, you don't work tomorrow.
VIC: Oh, I know, I just figured: Demon research.
ANYA: Oh, yeah, well, then, I'll see ya.
VIC: Bye.

Cut to: Xander's place. Vic knock on the door. Xander opens it.

XANDER: Vic?
VIC: Hey.
XANDER: What are you doing here?
VIC: Oh, you left this (hold up the tool belt) at the Magic Box. We thought you might need it tomorrow.
XANDER: (takes the tool belt) Thanks.
VIC: (still standing there) Can i come in?

Cut to: The Summers' house. Spike gets ready to leave for his interview.

BUFFY: I'll walk you there.
SPIKE: Ok?
BUFFY: We need to talk.
SPIKE: Ok?

Spike and Buffy walk down the streets of Sunnydale towards the Bronze.

BUFFY: Spike, I'm pregnant.

Spike stops in his tracks.

SPIKE: What are you late?
BUFFY: Not just late: pregnant.

They start walking again.

SPIKE: How do you know?
BUFFY: I took that little stick test...twice.
SPIKE: So you're pregnant.
BUFFY: (nervously) Yeah.

Spike stops again, and Buffy stops with him.

SPIKE: Well (optimistically) I guess this just mean we'll have to get married sooner.

Spike put his arm around her, and kisses her on the head.

BUFFY: Are you sure?
SPIKE: Are you?
BUFFY: I don't know. I'm practically a mother to two teenaged girls already - lets add another on!
SPIKE: Then you've got some practice.
BUFFY: Don't you think it's strange?
SPIKE: Why is it strange.
BUFFY: You're a vampire.
SPIKE: Yeah?
BUFFY: Vampire can't have children.
SPIKE: Well, Angel had one.
BUFFY: Yeah, I know, maybe it set something off.
SPIKE: Well, it doesn't matter now, because you are pregnant.
BUFFY: Maybe we should have a look at that prophecy.
SPIKE: Yeah, but right now, lets see about getting me a job.

They enter the Bronze, and Spike goes up to the bar.

SPIKE: Hi, I'm Spike. I'm here to meet John about a bartending job?
BARTENDER: (turns around) Hey, John, there's someone to see you.
JOHN:(goes to Spike) You must be Spike?
SPIKE: Yeah, that's me.
JOHN: Do you do drugs?
SPIKE: Nope?
JOHN: Been convicted of a crime?
SPIKE: Nope.
JOHN: Be here tomorrow at a quarter to 10.
SPIKE: Will do. Bye.
JOHN: Bye.

Spike and Buffy leave the Bronze and start walking home.

BUFFY: Hey, do you mind if I stop at the Double Meat Palace before we go home? I wanna quit ASAP.
SPIKE: Sure, let's go.

They walk to the Double Meat Palace.

BUFFY: Hey, where's the manager?
WORKER: In the back.
BUFFY: Ok, this'll only take a second.

Buffy heads to the back of the Double Meat palace.

MANAGER: Miss Summers, I didn't know you were working tonight.
BUFFY: I'm not. I'm quitting tonight.
MANAGER: Any reason why?
BUFFY: I found a better job with benefits, and I won't come home smelling like grease every night. I'm sorry.
MANAGER: Fine. Just be sure to drop off your uniform. And pick up your last check on Friday.
BUFFY: O-Ok. Bye.
MANAGER: Bye.

Buffy walk out from the back.

BUFFY: (to Spike) That was virtually painless. Well, now at least I have benefits for the baby. Now we've just gotta tell Dawn.

Cut to: Xander's place. Vic sits on the couch with a soda in her hand.

VIC: So you are all talk and no action.
XANDER: Why do you keep going back to that?
VIC: Because it's the only truth I know about you.
XANDER: Well, ask about any other truth - any other truth at all.
VIC: Why haven't you kissed me tonight?
XANDER: I've told you this. You're too young.
VIC: And I told *you* I'll be 18 in May.

Xander sits on the couch next to her.

XANDER: May, then.
VIC: (whispers gazing into his eyes) May then.

They kiss, slowly, passionately. Xander pushes her off.

XANDER: May! May, May, May! May! (stares at Vic) May I kiss you again?

They kiss again. Vic leans back until Xander is laying on top of her on the couch. They roll over and fall onto the floor with a thud. Vic hits her head.

VIC: Ow!

They kiss some more.

Cut to: the Summers' house. Buffy and Spike walk in the door. Willow and Dawn are in the dining room surfing the net for info on the demons. Buffy and Spike sit at the table with them.

BUFFY: Where's Vic?
WILLOW: hasn't come home yet.

Just then, the phone rings.

Buffy picks it up.

BUFFY: Hello?
VIC: Hey, Buffy, it's Vic.
BUFFY: Where are you?
VIC: At Xander's, hanging out.
XANDER: (yelling from behind Vic) Hey, Buff!
BUFFY: Well, don't be home too late.
VIC: Ok. Bye.
BUFFY: Bye.

Vic hangs up and her and Xander start kissing.

Buffy hangs up the phone.

BUFFY: (sits back down) Vic is at Xander's.
WILLOW: She ok?
BUFFY: She's fine.
SPIKE: (clearing his throat) Eh, em.
BUFFY: Dawn, we've gotta talk: We've got good news.
DAWN: Those two phrases usually don't go together.
BUFFY: Well, today they do. I'm pregnant!

Dawn squeals in excitement and runs around the table and hugs Buffy around the neck. Buffy smiles and pats Dawn on the arm.

BUFFY: Ok, oxygen - oxygen for the pregnant lady.
DAWN: I'm gonna be an aunt!

Dawn goes and hugs Spike.

DAWN: You're gonna be a dad!
BUFFY: Willow, did you find anything on the prophecy?
WILLOW: It says nothing about other vampires being able to reproduce.
BUFFY: Well, are there any other prophecies about it.
WILLOW: I'll check.
DAWN: (to Spike) So what are you gonna name it - s it a boy or a girl?
SPIKE: Sweetie, she's only a week pregnant.
DAWN: I'm just so excited.
WILLOW: Here's one! A slayer and a vampire have a baby. It's supposed to be a girl. And it's human. That's basically what it says.
BUFFY: Thank God, it's human.
WILLOW: This opens the gate for all other vampires to have children.
BUFFY: Great.
WILLOW: No, it's ok. Two vampires can't have children...besides Angel and Darla, but we don't have to worry about that...Anyway, the baby would be preserved as an embryo. The only way a vampire can have a baby is if it's a male vampire and a female human.
BUFFY: That's better. Well, you guys, let's get some sleep. I start work, and you guys have school, and Spike has work. I have to call Xander and ask him if I can have a ride to work tomorrow. You guys go up.

Everyone else goes upstairs to get ready for bed.

The phone rings at Xander's place. He picks it up. he is wearin a sheet around his waist.

XANDER: (out of breath) Hello?
BUFFY: Hey, Xander, why are you all out of breath?

Vic walks into the room.

VIC: Where is my other sock?

XANDER: (To Buffy) Hey, BUFFY! I just ran to get the phone, that's why I'm out of breath.

Vic puts on her shoes.

VIC: Bye!
XANDER: Bye, Vic, see ya tomorrow!

BUFFY: Vic is still over there!?!
XANDER: She just left.
BUFFY: Well, I was just wondering if you could drive me to work tomorrow since I'm going to the High School.
XANDER: Sure, of course.
BUFFY: Thanks.
XANDER: I'll see you tomorrow, then.
BUFFY: Ok, Good Night.
XANDER: 'Night.

Xander goes to go back into his room. There is a knock on the door. He opens it to find Vic.

VIC: I think I forgot my underwear.
XANDER: Come in and get it.

Vic goes into Xander's room and grabs her underwear.

VIC: You mind if I change here? I don't want them knowing that I didn't have my underwear on at one point of the night.

XANDER: Go ahead.

Vic walks out of Xander's bedroom.

VIC: Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then.
XANDER: See ya.

Vic moves in and kisses Xander. He doesn't kiss her back.

VIC: Goodnight.
XANDER: 'Night.

Vic walks home happy. She quietly walks through the front door and makes her way down into the basement. She gets into her cot and falls asleep.

Vic wakes up to the sound of pots and pans clattering - the Sun is up. She walks upstairs to find Spike trying to make something. He looks back at her.

SPIKE: Good morning, Vixen! What time did you get in last night?
VIC: I don't even know.
SPIKE: Were you drinking.
VIC: Nope - not a drop.
SPIKE: (pouring her a glass of brandy) Well, then here's your reward.
VIC: Thanks. What time is it?
SPIKE: 10:30am
VIC: Why'd you let me sleep so late?
SPIKE: I figured you needed it. What were you two doing last night?

Vic says nothing, she just raises her eyebrows.

SPIKE: Oh, you were doing that last night. With Xander?!? Sweetie, you could have done much better.
VIC: I know.
SPIKE: Well, I hope you enjoyed yourself.
VIC: Don't tell anyone, ok?
SPIKE: Your secret is safe with me.
VIC: Thanks.

Cut to: Sunnydale High School: Attendance Office. Buffy follows around one of the office workers as she shows her around.

WORKER: Your desk is here. You answer the phone, and write who will be late in this column and who is gonna be absent in this column. The, you program them into the computer like this.
BUFFY: Ok.
WORKER: You have to give a pass to all of the late students, and if they don't have a note or their parents didn't call, it is unexcused. So you mark on the pass whether it is excused or not in one of these two boxes.
BUFFY: Ok.
WORKER: You have to call all of the parents of students who are unexcused late or absent. Their numbers are in this drawer here.
BUFFY: Ok.
WORKER: Let kids use this phone if they have to call home sick, and make sure their parents sign them out. if they're 18, they can sign themselves out.
BUFFY: Ok.
WORKER: And if you need any help, let me know, or ask one of your student assistants.
BUFFY: Ok, thanks.

The worker walks out and Buffy lets out a deep sigh.

BUFFY: Back at Sunnydale High.

Cut to: later that day: almost Sun down. Everyone is in the Magic Box.

BUFFY: We forgot one thing.
XANDER: What's that?
BUFFY: How are we gonna kill 'em?
ANYA: Flame thrower.
BUFFY: We don't have any flame throwers.
XANDER: Then I say we pay a little visit to our friends at the army base.

Xander looks at each of the girls to find the right one for the job. Vic is dresses all in tight leather.

XANDER: Vic.
VIC: Yeah?
XANDER: Come on, we're gonna go steal from the military...again.
VIC: Ok?
XANDER: Well, be right back.

Spike shakes his head.

VIC: So I was thinking that tonight we could -
XANDER: Vic! Last night was an accident, I'm sorry.
VIC: (trying to seem un-hurt, and thinking of a new thing to say) Yeah, duh, I was thinking we all could go to the Bronze and harass Spike at the Bronze. You know, Buffy, me, you, Willow, Dawn?
XANDER: Oh, yeah, sorry - I cut you off too soon.

About 1o minutes later, Xander and Vic come back to the Magic box. They walk in.

XANDER: Alright, we've got flame throwers, grenades. and just in case you wanna take a trip down memory lane, Buffy, I got a rocket launcher.
BUFFY: Great.

Cut to: The old Sunnydale High School: Buffy and Vic come back from casing the place.

BUFFY: Ok, there are about five of the females, and the one big yellow male. They're all in the library.

They all walk into the school, when they arrive at he library, Xander and Spike throw grenades into it to create some initial damage. When the dust clears, there are only 3 females left. Buffy and Vic each throw a grenade out - only one of the demons is killed. The other two are very angry. Buffy takes on one demon as Vic takes on the other. The male demon sits watching the whole fight - unharmed.

Spike, Xander, and Giles set up the rocket launcher and aim it at the male. Buffy and Vic are fighting a fierce battle between the two females. Willow and Dawn watch from where it's safe.

WILLOW: Ooh, Buffy, watch out!

Xander looks into the sight of the rocket launcher to make sure it's aimed right. Then he checks everything again and hits the button. The male lets out a great wail, and the two females look up at him and make a howling noise. Buffy and Vic look at each other, and then take the swords from the females' belts on chop off their heads.

Cut to: The Bronze. Spike is tending the bar. Vic goes to him.

VIC: Shot of Jack D. please.
SPIKE: ID, please.
VIC: C'mon, Spike, you know me.

Spike slides the shot to her.

SPIKE: You're cut off.
VIC: Fine.

Vic goes out on the dance floor. She goes up to Xander and starts dancing. Xander turns around and starts dancing with Willow. Vic goes and joins Dawn.

Cut to: Later that night: The Summers' house. Buffy is upstairs brushing her teeth, and she hears music blaring from the basement. She rolls her eyes and starts walking down the stairs. As she heads downstairs, she can hear that Vic has "Somewhere Out There" by Our Lady Peace blaring on repeat. Buffy knocks on the door.

BUFFY: Vic! Vic I can hear your music from all the way upstairs!

There is no change in volume, and no one comes to the door. Buffy opens the door. She finds Vic crying in Spike's arms. Buffy walks over to the radio and turns it down.

BUFFY: What's wrong?
SPIKE: Bad break up.
VIC: It wasn't even a break up.
BUFFY: Spike, why don't you go to bed? I'll take over here.

Spike gets up leaving Vic to cry on Buffy's shoulder.

SPIKE: 'Night, Vixen.
VIC: 'Night, Spike.

Spike leaves the basement and shuts the door.

BUFFY: So, you wanna talk about it?
VIC: I guess.
BUFFY: Who was it?
VIC: I don't wanna say.
BUFFY: Ok? Then, what happened.
VIC: One night stand - turned next day rejection.
BUFFY: XANDER!?!
VIC: (sobbing louder) Yeah!
BUFFY: (holding Vic tighter) Don't worry, sweetie, I'll handle it.
VIC: I can do it.
BUFFY: No you can't. Now we just need a plan.

The End
