I in no way, shape or form own these characters - When will September 24th come? I'm just hoping about season 7.
We're Not in Kansas Anymore
Teaser: Summers house: night: Bathroom: Buffy Vomits in the toilet as Spike holds her hair back. She stops and leans against the toilet.
SPIKE: You ok?
BUFFY: How would you feel.
SPIKE: I wouldn't know.
BUFFY: Crumby.
Spike strokes Buffy's hair.
SPIKE: Come on. You need to eat something.
BUFFY: No food.
SPIKE: You need to eat.
BUFFY: Yuck.
Buffy groans.
BUFFY: Here we go again.
She turns and puts her head back over the toilet bowl. Spike pulls her hair back. She vomits some more.
Cut to: The next morning. Willow sits on the couch watching TV in her pajamas. Buffy and Dawn come down the stairs already dressed.
DAWN: Hey, Will, we're going shopping. Wanna come?
BUFFY: Come on, Will, it'll be fun.
WILLOW: No, that's alright. I kinda just wanna stay in.
BUFFY: It's Saturday! It's our one true day off.
WILLOW: I just wanna hang in my PJs on my one day off.
BUFFY: Ok, mopey, we'll get you something.
WILLOW: No need to... Buffy, are you sure you should be going out - I mean - morning sickness.
BUFFY: It's noon, besides, my morning sickness comes at night.
WILLOW: Ok, then go and enjoy your shopping.
BUFFY: You sure you don't wanna come?
WILLOW: Go. I'll be fine.
BUFFY: Ok, then, see you later.
Buffy and Dawn walk out of the front door. Willow stares blankly at the TV screen. Vic hobbles into the living room.
VIC: Hey, why didn't you go with tem?
WILLOW: I didn't feel like it.
VIC: Enjoying your solitude in a house full of people?
WILLOW: That's the idea.
VIC: Impossible.
WILLOW: What?
VIC: Go out and get the a woman, a man even. Someone.
WILLOW: Neh.
VIC: Praying for the one who got away to come back?
WILLOW: Can you not pretend like you know so much.
VIC: It's not like I can't tell.
WILLOW( rolling her eyes) Tell what?
VIC: You're lonely, but you're not waiting for someone to come. You're waiting for someone to come back.
WILLOW: Yeah, well, she's dead.
VIC: I don't think *she* is dead.
WILLOW: What would you know about it?
VIC: trust me.
Vic walks out of the room and grabs the phone. She calls Zeke. Willow can faintly hear the conversation as she stares at the meaningless dribble on TV. Willow's POV:
VIC; Hey, Zeke! You wanna do something. Ok, meet you there in 15 minutes. Alright buh bye.
Vic hangs up the phone.
VIC: (from the dining room) I'm going out.
WILLOW: Ok.
Willow hears the door close.
Cut to: Anya's flat. Xander is making coffee. they sit, fully clothed without any sign of them doing anything not-kosher. Because they haven't done anything of the sort.
XANDER: Hey, you wanna go see a movie?
ANYA: Sure. What's playing?
XANDER: I don't know. Can't we just go anyway?
ANYA: I guess. Let's go.
XANDER: What about the coffee?
ANYA: Who cares about the coffee?
XANDER: I care.
ANYA: What if someone cursed my caffeine?
XANDER: Fine.
Xander turns off the coffee maker and pours out the coffee that is in the pot. He grabs his coat, and they head out the door.
Cut to: Summers' house. Willow is still staring blankly at the TV. There is a knock at the door. Willow slowly moves towards the door. She opens it. No one is there. She looks all around. Then she looks down. There is a basket with a bow. There is a blanket over the top of the blanket. She picks up the basket and takes it inside. She looks around once more before shutting the door.
Willow walks into the living room and puts the basket on the coffee table.
WILLOW: Please don't let it be fruit or a baby.
Laying on top of the blanket is a note with the name: "Willow" on it. Willow opens the envelope. There is a note in it: *Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Meet me at the bronze at eight o'clock tonight. I'll be looking for you. ~An old friend...PS: I know this is cryptic, but you won't be disappointed - I hope...PPS: I hope you like your present, I named him Dingo; it seemed fitting.*
Willow slowly lifted up the blanket to find a cute little brown and black puppy.
WILLOW: Aww.
Spike comes down the stairs slowly and makes his way into the living room. He is surprised to see Willow sitting there.
SPIKE: Oh, hey, Red, I thought you went with the other - Hey, whatcha got there?
WILLOW: It's a puppy. (Willow looks down at the note) Hey, Spike, What do you make of this?
Spike picks up the note. He reads it.
SPIKE: Wizard of Oz fanatic I suppose. What's up with this Dingo thing?
WILLOW: (realizing something) Do you work tonight?
SPIKE: Yeah.
WILLOW: Good, then I'm gonna meet this guy.
SPIKE: You sure about that? Maybe you should take Buffy along.
WILLOW: Maybe I should take everyone along.
SPIKE: You think he'd still talk to you.
WILLOW: Oh, I think he'll waltz on over.
SPIKE: Ok?
Willow holds up the puppy.
WILLOW: Are you just the cutest little thing I've ever seem?
Cut to: Sunnydale's movie theater. Xander and Anya find their seats.
XANDER: (whispering) This is nice. Two people just going to see a movie - as friends.
ANYA: Yes. Without any emotional or physical att- (distracted by the couple making out a few rows in front of them) Look at that it's just disgusting. Xander - give me some of your popcorn.
Anya digs her hand into Xander's popcorn.
XANDER: What are you doing?
ANYA: I'm gonna throw popcorn at them.
Anya tosses some popcorn at the heads of the couple The couple stops making out.
ANYA: There, that worked.
They turn around. The couple is Vic and Zeke.
XANDER: Great: You threw popcorn at a slayer and her boy toy.
ANYA: Whoops.
Cut to the outside of the movie theater - the movie is over. Anya, Xander, Zeke, and Vic walk out of the theater.
VIC: Good show.
ANYA: Oh, I thought you were too busy to know since you were necking the whole time.
VIC: Well, when I looked up to breathe, I liked what I saw.
Xander rolls his eyes.
Cut to: the Summers' house. Buffy and Dawn walk into the house. Dawn is holding a single bag. Buffy runs up the stairs holding her mouth.
WILLOW: Hey! Back so soon?
DAWN: Buffy's morning sickness caught up with her.
WILLOW: What'd you get?
DAWN: A pair of shoes.
WILLOW: That's it.
DAWN: We had to stop every five minutes to go to the bathroom.
WILLOW: That sucks. (In her excited Willow voice:) Look what I got.
Willow hold up the puppy.
DAWN: Oh, my God, Willow, it's so cute! Where'd it come from?
WILLOW: Someone left it at the door.
Buffy slowly walks down the stairs and into the living room.
DAWN: Oh, Buffy. Look what Willow got.
BUFFY: Aww, he's so cute. Where'd you get him.
WILLOW: Someone left him on the doorstep with this note.
Willow pushes the note across the coffee table, and Buffy picks it up to read it.
WILLOW: What do you make of it?
BUFFY: Oz?
WILLOW: That's what I thought.
BUFFY: Well, it makes sense. The quote from the movie, the name Dingo. Do you think he's back in town.
WILLOW: I don't know, but I want everyone to come with me to the Bronze tonight.
Xander, Anya, Zeke, and Vic walk in the front door. They head into the living room.
VIC: Hey guys, what's up?
DAWN: Puppy, Oz - the Bronze.
XANDER: Huh?
WILLOW: (hands Xander the note.) This note came with this puppy. We think it's from Oz.
XANDER: It's pretty strange.
WILLOW: That's why I want everyone with me at the Bronze tonight.
Cut to: Sunnydale County Bank. A man stands at the counter wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.
MAN: Give me all your money.
The teller goes to give him the money and trips the police alarm. The teller hands the man the money. The man grabs the cash and suddenly: as if at light speed - he is gone breaking the glass of the door on his way out. The cops have no way of chasing him - he is gone in an instant.
Cut to: An old house. The lightning speed man stops at the door. He unlocks it and goes in. He walks into a back room, and opens a safe placing the bag of money in the safe. He takes off his shoes - there is a green gooey residue on them which he wipes off and puts them in his safe along with the gun and the ski-mask.
He looks down at his body. There are shards of glass from the door all over his body.
MAN: Damn Glass!
He pulls out the glass, and his wounds immediately heal.
Cut to: The Summers' house. Everyone is sitting around the living room playing with the puppy - the TV is still on.
NEWSCASTER: We interrupt your regularly scheduled program for this special report.
WILLOW: Shhh, I wanna see what's up.
NEWSCASTER: I am here in front of the Sunnydale County Bank where there has been an unusual robbery. Seen in this video tape taken in the bank (tape rolls on TV) the robber is there, and suddenly he is just a flash of light - eventually breaking the glass.
BUFFY: That's not good.
There is a replay of the security camera on TV.
BUFFY: It's very, very bad. That's definitely not your run-of-the-mill bank robbery.
VIC: Definitely supernatural.
XANDER: Great, so we have a demony bank robber walking the streets.
BUFFY: That was no demon.
VIC: No demon would wear a ski mask. This robber is human
ZEKE: What now?
BUFFY: Willow, can you - Willow?
Willow isn't in the living room anymore. They all head to the dining room where Willow is already on the computer.
WILLOW: I'm getting the police report right now.
Willow clicks her mouse a few more times, and scrolls down a little.
WILLOW: There was a strange green goo found at the scene.
BUFFY: Does it say what's in the goo.
WILLOW: Nope, and the rest, we've already heard.
BUFFY: Wanna do some recon tonight?
WILLOW: But...Oz!
BUFFY: After Oz.
WILLOW: I guess.
VIC: I'm there.
Cut to: Night: The Bronze. Willow, Buffy, Anya, Xander, Vic, Zeke, and Dawn sit at a table out in the open while spike tends bar.
WILLOW: Where is he? It's 8:05...he should be here.
BUFFY: Give him time, Will.
WILLOW: It's not like him.
VIC; Did anything in your mind tell you that it might not be him.
OZ: Might not be who?
Oz is standing behind Vic.
WILLOW: Oz! Come sit.
OZ: You like the puppy?
WILLOW: Loved it.
OZ: I, uh, was hoping we could talk in private?
WILLOW: No problem, come on.
Willow takes him to a little cubby.
WILLOW: What's up? How have you been? Not a werewolf anymore - right?
OZ: right.
WILLOW: So, what's up?
OZ: I'm back. I've transferred all of my credits, and I'm back at UC Sunnydale.
WILLOW: Oz, that's great.
OZ: I miss you Will.
WILLOW: Well, I'm right here, now.
OZ: I know - but I miss you more than this.
WILLOW: More than what?
OZ: More than your presence.
WILLOW: I'm not following you here.
OZ: I miss having you as my girlfriend.
WILLOW: Oh, Oz, but I'm not. I like- I thought we talked about this before.
OZ: I know we did, but I just. I can't be without you, Will. I love you.
WILLOW: No you don't. You have all these illusions about me, but I've changed.
OZ: Then let me get to know you again.
WILLOW: It's not that easy.
OZ: Why can't it be.
WILLOW: Because it just can't.
OZ: Well, ok - here's my number and dorm room (hands her a slip of paper) call me if you change your mind. See ya around.
As leaves. Willow sits bewildered.
Xander is looking around and notices Oz's exit. Xander goes running after him.
XANDER: Hey Oz! Leaving so soon?
OZ: Oh, hey Xander.
XANDER: Come back in, hang.
OZ: No man, it looks like you've got a full group there.
XANDER: We could always use one more.
OZ: I'm just gonna go home. I'll see you around, Xander.
XANDER: Night, man.
Oz walks down the alley and out of sight. Xander walks back into the bronze. Dawn and Vic are out on the dance floor. Zeke is at the bar talking to Spike. Willow is sitting back at the table flipping out. She is on the verge of tears.
WILLOW: You know I- I love him but I can't!
She cries into Buffy's shoulder. Buffy hugs her and pats her on the back.
BUFFY: I know, Will, I know.
WILLOW: And know he's back at UC Sunnydale, and what if he's in some of my classes?
ANYA: (with empathy) I know. How you feel when someone just wants to come back, and you can't let him. (Optimistically) Don't worry, it gets better. (Rambling to herself - about herself) Or at least that's what they tell me with fake sympathy as if they actually know what they're talking about. They never do... know what they're talking about - or anything for that matter. They know nothing, and you know what -
BUFFY: ANYA!
Anya looks up not realizing she said anything wrong.
BUFFY: Not helping the situation.
ANYA: Sorry, just trying to be comforting. (to Willow) Want some ice cream? Not that that helps at all - all that does is make you gain a few pounds making you even more depressed, and you're not-
XANDER: An!
Anya looks up again with that same blank look.
XANDER: We get it. Xander bad. Just stop.
ANYA: Why did you refer to yourself in the third person? You know, that is really annoying. That's another thing -
BUFFY/XANDER: ANYA!
ANYA: I'm gonna go get a beer.
Anya leaves the table and the original Scoobies to their woes.
BUFFY: You know what?
WILLOW: (hopefully) What?
BUFFY: We need to go and investigate the bank before I get to vomiting. Xand, will you grab the girls and Zeke?
XANDER: Sure.
Xander gets out into the dance floor to grab Vic and Dawn.
BUFFY: ( beginning to stand up) We'll talk - I promise. Just - after we get some work done.
WILLOW: Ok.
Cut to: Sunnydale County Bank. The gang enters with flashlights blazing. Willow goes to the spot here he started running. She looks down to find some green goop still on the floor.
WILLOW: Here it is.
BUFFY: Great.
They look around some more. There are no signs of demonic activity or anything paranormal - just the goop. Which Willow has put into a clear vile.
BUFFY: There's nothing. Not a thing. Can you think of anything else that would give us a clue?
WILLOW: Not a thing.
XANDER: Anyone, Anyone? (No one looks up or says a thing) Didn't think so.
BUFFY: Well, I guess we'll just have to go with what we found. (She pauses) Oh, no. (she holds her hand over her mouth, and runs out of the bank)
DAWN: Night sickness is here.
WILLOW: We should get home.
Cut to: Summers' house: kitchen - later that night. Willow has her chemistry stuff laid out and is waiting. Buffy sits at the island and watches.
BUFFY: So, do you miss him?
WILLOW: of course I do.
Willow pick the puppy up off of the floor. She pets him.
BUFFY: Do you love him?
WILLOW: Yeah. Of course - I mean, do you love your exes?
BUFFY: Both of em.
WILLOW: Yeah, exactly.
BUFFY: Thanks for waiting to talk - I just didn't wanna be talking to you with my face in the toilet bowl.
Cut to: Bathroom: Buffy vomiting in the toilet. Willow holds her hair back. Buffy sits up and leans against the toilet.
BUFFY: So you never considered it?
WILLOW: No, I mean, I like girls.
BUFFY: But not Oz, I mean - he's *Oz*
WILLOW: I know, but I don't know - I'd like to have him as my boyfriend, but somehow it feels like betrayal.
BUFFY: Who are you betraying?
WILLOW: Myself, Tara.
BUFFY: How?
WILLOW: It wasn't supposed to be just one of those college experiment things - it was supposed to be the real thing.
BUFFY: Maybe you just like guys and girls. I mean it is Oz - he was *the one* at one point in your life - about as long as Tara was the one.
WILLOW: I guess. I just don't know. I mean, I want some thing, but -
BUFFY: Oh, God, here we go again.
Buffy leans over the toilet and Willow holds her hair back again.
WILLOW: But I don't know how I feel about it. It was Oz. He cheated on, me, and I don't know, I still -
Buffy lifts her head and leans back against the toilet bowl.
BUFFY: Willow, he was a werewolf - he wasn't Oz. And you cheated on him too. They were both accidents.
WILLOW: I know, but - (quickly changing subjects) Hey! The goo tests should be done! let's go check.
Buffy pushes herself up off of the toilet. They walk downstairs and into the kitchen. Willow put some of the goo under a microscope.
WILLOW: That's not so weird.
BUFFY: What?
WILLOW: Shoe rubber.
BUFFY: Oh. Does that help us any?
WILLOW: I don't know - there's no specific kind of rubber - just regular shoe rubber.
BUFFY: Dead end?
WILLOW: Well, we can look at the tests.
BUFFY: Ok.
Willow puts a new slide under the microscope.
WILLOW: Well, it's not living. But it's definitely not of this dimension.
BUFFY: Ok. So what now?
WILLOW: I don't know.
BUFFY: There has to be something we've missed.
WILLOW: I know there is - but what?
Cut to: UC Sunnydale; Monday morning. Willow sits down in a lecture hall. She's all alone and reading a book. She is wrapped up in it and doesn't notice the person sitting a few seats down from her.
OZ: (leaning towards Willow) Excuse me - I just transferred here - is this class any good.
WILLOW: (looking up excited) It's great! The professor is really - (realizing it's oz) Oh, Oz, hi. What's up. Um, I didn't know you took - how are you?
OZ: (smirking at Willows strange rambling) Willow speech - I remember that.
WILLOW: I'm sorry about last night, I just -
OZ: No, it's ok. Your girlfriend just died a while ago - you need time.
WILLOW: No, I mean, I should be over her. I just I haven't been miss Social Butterfly lately. I enjoy my solitude, and well, even if I get out - I don't do much. Just a change of scenery, and then you come and there's this chance staring in the face, and - betrayal - and I just want - I want-
OZ: (calmly) Whoa, whoa, whoa - slow down. Betrayal?
WILLOW: Yeah.
OZ: Who's betraying who here?
WILLOW: I'm betraying me, and - and Tara - and you, I guess.
OZ: Not following this chain of betrayal you've created.
WILLOW: Well, I'm a lesbian, and "Yay me" but there's still something saying: "ooh, Oz - wouldn't it be great to be with Oz again?" And then, I say "No, you told Tara this wasn't just some phase." And then, if I really am a full fledged lesbian, and I'm with you, then I'm lying to you, and if I'm not with you, then I'm betraying my feelings towards you.
OZ: Shh - shh - shh. Just do what's in your heart. I think everyone will respect that.
WILLOW: Thank you.
OZ: You wanna go out tonight?
WILLOW: We're patrolling - in search of a bank robber - clues. But, you can come - if you want, I mean: Patrolling - not the funnest thing I've done.
OZ: We'll make it fun.
WILLOW: Well, we might get to beat up some snitches.
OZ: That's always fun.
Oz moves his seat right next to Willow.
Cut to: The 21st Bank of Sunnydale. The same man comes up to the teller wearing all black and a ski mask. He puts up a gun.
MAN: Give me all your money.
The teller grabs a bag from the man and quietly puts money in it. Then, he smacks the 911 button on his way back to the counter. The man grabs money and suddenly moves at hyper-speed out of the bank breaking through the full glass window that covers the whole wall (up, down, left and right) the glass shatters as he breaks through it. He is out of sight before the police even get to the scene.
The man arrives at the house he did a couple days before. He stops abruptly at the door, and unlocks it. He heads to the back room of the house where he puts the money in the safe. He takes out the revolver and pops it open, then spins it around: no bullets.
MAN: Stupid people.
He puts the revolver into the safe. He takes off his ski mask, and puts it into the safe. He takes off his shoes. He wipes the green goo off of them, and looks at the bottom of them. The fast traction has burnt a hole right through the bottom of his shoe. He tosses the shoes into the safe and pulls out a new pair. He locks the safe - then looks down at his body. It's covered with little cuts, and some shards of glass are poking from each one. He pulls out the glass - the wounds are slower to heal.
MAN: The spell must be fading.
Cut to: The Summers' house: Everyone is there: Buffy, Dawn, Vic, Zeke, Xander, Anya, Spike, Giles, Willow, and Oz. They sit around the TV watching the news report.
NEWSCASTER: Well, it looks like the Hyper-speed Bank Robber was at it again today.
BANK ROBBER: (at his house) Hyper-Drive Bank Robber. You'd think they could have come up with a better name.
NEWSCASTER: The same routine as the bank on Saturday.
BUFFY: Now, you guys look - see if you can find anything for evidence.
Everyone watches as the security tape trying to take in as much as they can.
NEWSCASTER: The robber has hit two banks, and police cannot find out who he is. They have just released information that an inexplicable green substance has been found at each crime scene. If you have any leads or information on the Hyper-Speed Bank Robber, please contact the Sunnydale Police department at (212) 555-4353.
Xander clicks off the TV.
BUFFY: I can't think of anything.
VIC: I know we're missing something.
BUFFY: Willow can you go on the net, and tell us what the police *aren't* telling us?
WILLOW: No problem.
Willow gets up and walks into the dining room.
BUFFY: Ok, we're gonna have to go to the latest bank - see if any clues are more visible.
GILES: Perhaps, we should break off into groups - this is important, but so is patrolling. We don't want vampires running a muck through Sunnydale because there is a bank robbery.
VIC: He's right. What if this robber is just a decoy for something bigger?
BUFFY: Ok, Vic, take Zeke, Xander, and Anya, and patrol. The rest of us will head out to the bank and figure out what's going on.
VIC: Ok.
ANYA: (not caring who's in the room to listen) Why do I have to get the crumby job? I always get stuck with it.
BUFFY: Next time, we'll reverse. Ok?
ANYA: No, it's not the same.
BUFFY: Whatever. We should probably get moving at Sun down. There's a couple more hours - so until then, do whatcha wanna do.
No body moves.
BUFFY: Or we could all hang out here.
DAWN: Can we get pizza?
BUFFY: Sure. I'll order it.
Buffy goes to order the pizza. They all lean back and relax in their spots.
XANDER: I kinda wish this wasn't a human. Demons are so much easier to stop. There are books telling you what they do, and what they want, and -
WILLOW: (From the dining room) Hey you guys!
Everyone rushes into the dining room.
WILLOW: Look at this website - isn't it funny? Look at GW dancing.
XANDER: Willow. You're on TVdance. com?
WILLOW: Yeah, well, I think we have more figured out than the cops - they're pretty useless. So I went for some amusement.
The puppy is sitting in her lap.
WILLOW: Hey! Before we have to go and fight evil - does someone wanna go and get stuffy for the puppy? Like toys and food and stuffy - we can't keep feeding him bacon. It can't be good for him.
OZ: Sure, I'll go with you.
WILLOW: Great. Let's go. We'll bring him with us.
Willow grabs her coat, and they are out the kitchen door.
BUFFY: Where are they going?
DAWN: Puppy shopping.
XANDER: (at the computer) Hey! Look - Chris Farley Dancing!
Cut to: Later: Everyone has finished their pizza and is just hanging around. Willow and Oz come in the front door with a bunch of bags.
BUFFY: (from living room) Hey! You're back. We saved some pizza for you.
WILLOW: Oh, great! Thanks.
Willow puts the puppy down and he goes off to play with the people. He goes crawling up Giles' leg. Giles looks down, and picks Dingo up.
GILES: Hello. (in one of those puppy/baby voices) What are you going? Huh? What are you doing?
Everyone stares at him in awe.
GILES: What? I can't talk to the puppy?
BUFFY: Anyway, if you guys aren't gonna eat, we should probably get going. Since the Sun is down and all.
WILLOW: Yeah, ok.
OZ: Sure. We can show you all the cool stuff we got Dingo when we get back.
BUFFY: Let's go.
Cut to: One of Sunnydale's cemeteries. Zeke, Vic, Xander, and Anya stand in a circle.
VIC: Ok, so Xander and Anya, you -
ANYA: Maybe we should stay in one big group.
VIC: But we'll cover more ground if we split up.
ANYA: (pushing) But it would be safer if we all stayed together.
XANDER: Come on, An. Vic's right.
ANYA: But it would be safer -
VIC: You'll be fine with Xander.
Anya grabs Vic and pulls her behind a tree. Anya looks back to make sure Xander and Zeke haven't followed them.
ANYA: (to Xander and Zeke) We'll be just a sec.
VIC: What's wrong?
ANYA: (whispering) I'm afraid.
VIC: (whispering) Of demons? That's kinda sad considering you *are* a demon
ANYA: (offended - in a normal voice) No! (correcting herself) No.
VIC: Then What?
ANYA: ( checks to make sure the boys haven't moved) Of Xander.
VIC: (in a normal voice) Xander!?!
Vic looks back to make sure Xander didn't hear her. Xander looks at her and raises his arm in question:
XANDER: Are you guys ready?
Vic puts her finger up as to indicate "one minute." She ducks back behind the tree.
VIC: Why are you afraid of Xander?
ANYA: I'm afraid he might...try to kiss me.
VIC: I can see why you wouldn't wanna patrol with him.
ANYA: Yeah.
VIC: Well, I don't wanna patrol with him.
ANYA: See, and when I think of him trying to kiss me I just wanna kick something.
Anya kicks the tree and yelps in pain. The boys rush to see what is the matter.
XANDER: You ok?
VIC: She's fine - can you go back to where you were - we're kinda busy.
Xander and Zeke back up oblivious and confused.
VIC: Well, he might still try to kiss you if we're in a group.
ANYA: Don't say that.
VIC: What are we gonna do.
ANYA: We could put Zeke with Xander.
VIC: (not paying attention) I mean I don't wanna patrol with him
ANYA: You could put Zeke and Xander together.
VIC: (still not listening) And you don't wanna patrol with him. And it's kinda illogical to be in one big group.
ANYA: Put Zeke with Xander.
VIC: I've got it - we could have Zeke and Xander patrol together!
Anya angrily groans and walks off.
XANDER: What took you guys so long?
VIC: Oh, um, Anya needed a hair-tie - no dice.
Xander looks around and then looks down at Anya's wrist.
XANDER: What's that on your wrist, An?
Anya looks down and acts surprised.
ANYA: I knew I had one somewhere.
Anya pulls the rubber band from her wrist and puts her hair into a ponytail.
VIC: Ok, so Anya and I will go through the cemeteries while you two go through the alleys and warehouses.
ZEKE: Ok.
Vic mouths the word "Sorry" to Zeke.
VIC: We'll meet back at the house at, let's say 10.
XANDER: Alright, c'mon Zeke.
Cut to: The latest crime scene. The group walk into the bank through the boarded up door. Willow goes to the point where the criminal started and scoops up a vile of green goop.
WILLOW: I don't think we'll find anything new from this.
BUFFY: There has to be something we're missing.
Spike stops in the middle of the room.
SPIKE: I smell blood.
No one pays attention. Spike backs up toward the door.
SPIKE: There's blood on the door.
Giles looks up and takes notice.
SPIKE: (louder) There is blood on this door!
Willow and Oz look up.
WILLOW: That makes sense - that's what we missed.
BUFFY: Huh?
OZ: Well, if you crashed through a glass door, you'd leave blood, too.
BUFFY: Not if you do it right.
The group looks up in confusion.
BUFFY: What? I've broken through a lot of glass in my time without a scratch!
WILLOW: Whatever. We can use the blood to run some DNA tests.
BUFFY: Great. Dawn, can you go out in the front and find any pieces of glass with blood on them?
DAWN: Sure.
Dawn goes out of the door. She quickly comes back.
DAWN: There's no glass out there. They must have swept it up.
BUFFY: Ok, then see if they dumped it somewhere in here. Spike, can you sniff out a piece of glass that we can test.
SPIKE: You make it sound like I'm a bleedin' dog.
BUFFY: Spike! There's a bank robber on the loose! Take it how you want - just do it!
SPIKE: Fine!
Dawn and Giles search for the swept up glass while Buffy, Willow, and Oz search for more clues, and Spike finds a bloody piece of glass. Suddenly there is a loud shatter. Spike has broken more of the door off. he hands Willow a piece of glass.
SPIKE: Can you make something of that?
WILLOW: (peering closely looking for the blood) I can try. W-where is the blood on this?
Spike takes it back and looks at it. He turns the glass multiple times until he has the sharpest point pointing up.
SPIKE: Right there.
WILLOW: Oh.
SPIKE: Hey, it's the best I can do.
WILLOW: Oh, no it's ok.
Willow slips the glass into a zip-lock bag.
BUFFY: Ok, let's roll.
Cut to: Patrolling. Zeke and Xander walk through an alley behind some warehouses.
ZEKE: So...you slept with my girlfriend.
XANDER: (astonished) Y-yeah, b-b-but it was a - a - um.
ZEKE: Yeah.
XANDER: I didn't mean for it t-t-to happen.
ZEKE: Yeah, well, no hard feelings, man.
XANDER: (weakly) No. Of course not.
ZEKE: After they scraped her up off of the floor - I don't think she'll turn to you for much. I'm not worried.
XANDER: (sarcastically) Well, that makes me feel so much better about myself.
ZEKE: Listen, I just don't want her hurt.
XANDER: I'm not the one in jeopardy of hurting her - you're the boyfriend here.
ZEKE: Well, I have no intention of hurting her.
XANDER: Then why are we having this conversation?
ZEKE: Small talk.
XANDER: listen. I love Anya. That's it. Anything between me and Vic - no, no! There was nothing between me and Vic - just a mild physical attraction. It's over - so tell me agina why you care.
ZEKE: Because she is my girlfriend.
XANDER: What? So you just wanted to set all of the boundaries now?
ZEKE: Basically.
XANDER: Well, they've been set. Someone should be setting boundaries for you!
ZEKE: I've got my boundaries - I'm aware of the peril my knee caps are in.
XANDER: Well, good. Now you know how I feel.
ZEKE: No. I don't. Listen, don't take it personally, man, it's just that-
XANDER: Don't take it personally!? Listen, if you're gonna accuse me - do it - but don't frost over it with a "Don't worry about it" Because you wouldn't have mentioned it unless you wanted me to worry.
ZEKE: Take it how you want to.
XANDER: Is there something you want to get off your chest.
ZEKE: Just - don't try anything.
XANDER: Not that I would want to, but what if I did?
ZEKE: I don't think you really wanna know what would happen.
XANDER: If you haven't noticed, your girlfriend is the Slayer - she can handle herself.
ZEKE: It wouldn't just be about her.
XANDER: But it takes two to tango.
ZEKE: There are things besides tangoing.
XANDER: What? You think I'm gonna harass her. The thought never crossed my mind.
ZEKE: Sure.
Xander stops and faces Zeke.
XANDER: What? You trying to be the big man here? Come one (Xander spreads his arms out) take a shot.
Zeke turns away shaking his head. Xander puts his arms down.
XANDER: That's what I-
Zeke cracks one into Xander's jaw. Xander stumbles back. Then straightens himself. His lip is bleeding. Xander runs at Zeke, and punches him in the stomach. The boys get into a wrestling/punching match knocking each other to the ground.
Two vampires stand at the end of the alley and Watch.
VAMP 1: You think we should eat them.
VAMP 2: Naw, man, they've got issues. Let's go to the Bronze.
VAMP 1: ok.
The two vampires walk off.
Zeke and Xander lay on their backs on the concrete - bloody and sweating.
ZEKE: Truce?
XANDER: Truce.
Cut to: the Summers' house: Willow is searching the police records.
BUFFY: We got a match yet?
WILLOW: no...hold on! I think I found something. Brian Jennings. Perfect match.
BUFFY: What kind of record?
WILLOW: Couple years for arson, a few for burglary.
BUFFY: Got an address?
Willow grabs a sheet of paper and writes down an address.
BUFFY: Good - we'll hit it as soon as Vic gets back.
Vic walks in the front door. Spike is sitting there watching TV. He looks up.
SPIKE: Hello, Vixen.
VIC: Hey.
SPIKE: How was patrol.
VIC: A bounty-less night - I hope the boys did ok. They here yet?
SPIKE: I'm the only man in this house.
VIC: And you're not a man but a vampire.
SPIKE: True - but I did impregnate a woman - give me that much.
VIC: Where's Buffy?
SPIKE: In the dining room with Willow.
VIC: Did you crack the case?
SPIKE: Wide open.
VIC: What was it?
SPIKE: Blood.
VIC: Ok, well, I'm gonna go check in with the boss.
Vic walks into the dining room. Willow is sitting alone - on the computer.
VIC: Where's Buffy?
WILLOW: Night-sickness.
VIC: Oh.
Vic goes up the stairs. She heads to the bathroom to find Buffy over the toilet with Dawn holding her hair back.
DAWN: ...so I let him sit with us that one day, and he won't leave me alone.
Buffy leans on the side of the toilet.
BUFFY: Maybe he has a crush on you.
DAWN: Well, duh, but how do I get rid of him?
VIC: Break is knee-caps. That always works for me.
DAWN: Oh, hey, Vic.
BUFFY: Hey Vic. When I'm done here, we're gonna go catch the bad guy.
VIC: Cool.
BUFFY: (to Dawn) You just have to tell him that you don't like him like that.
DAWN: Try at all.
VIC: Don't tell him that - he might go suicidal. Well, I'm gonna go watch some TV. Call me when you need me.
Vic heads down the stairs an plops herself on the couch. The door opens, and Zeke and Xander stumble in - bruised and beaten.
VIC: Whoa - vampires?
XANDER: (looks at Zeke) A whole slew of them.
ZEKE: Cornered us - but we broke free, and killed em all.
Vic looks them over. There are blood stains on their pants and shirts.
VIC: Where'd the blood come from?
XANDER: T-the vampires?
VIC: What'd you have one in a head-lock?
XANDER: Well, yeah.
VIC: Please. I'm not that stupid.
ZEKE: What?
VIC: Why don't we get Willow in here and see if the blood on Zeke's shirt matches blood from Xander and vice versa.
XANDER: What are you talking about?
VIC: What do you think, Spike?
SPIKE: I think they got into a fight with each other, and are blaming it on vampires.
ZEKE: Please, Vic, don't flatter yourself.
VIC: I never said you were fighting over me. Did I, Spike?
SPIKE: No, I can't say that I did hear you say that.
VIC: That's because I didn't. So you two were fighting over me?
XANDER: (knowing they're caught) N-n-no.
Buffy heads down the stairs.
BUFFY: Come on, Vic - we should get this done befo-
Buffy looks at Xander and Zeke.
BUFFY: What happened to you two?
XANDER: Vampires.
BUFFY: (to Vic) They beat up each other?
VIC: Yupp.
BUFFY: We should get this bust over with.
VIC: Ok. Should we take back up?
BUFFY: No, it's just one guy.
VIC: (to the guys) Clean yourselves up while we're gone, ok?
Buffy and Vic leave.
XANDER: how did they figure that out?
SPIKE: Your excuse was lame, and generally most of the blood spilled on your clothes is your own - and how would you get your own blood on your pants?
XANDER: shut up.
Cut to: The house of Brian Jennings. Buffy and Vic walk on the door. Brian opens the door.
BUFFY: (sweetly) Hi, our car broke down down the road, and we were wondering if we could use your phone?
BRIAN: Huh?
VIC: Our car stalled - can we use your phone?
BRIAN: Sorry, but no.
Brian goes to close the door, and Buffy puts her boot into is.
BUFFY: What - not used to letting strange women in your home?
BRIAN: Huh?
Buffy pushes the door open. She and Vic walk in. They shut the door behind them, and Vic stands in front of the door.
BUFFY: So...where are you hiding the money?
BRIAN: I don't know what you're talking about.
BUFFY: Yes, you do. It's your blood on the door. That's the one thing you forgot to cover.
BRAIN: you're crazy.
BUFFY: We told the cops to look at the glass in the banks for blood. They're comparing it to yours as we speak. (to Vic) Check the house - safes, shoes, spells.
Vic goes off to search the house.
BRAIN: You can't touch me.
BUFFY: And why is that?
BRAIN: Go ahead - cut me, hurt me, try it - go ahead.
BUFFY: I don't want to hurt you - I just want you caught.
BRIAN: Why do you care?
BUFFY: Because they do. Because it could be my bank you could hit next.
BRIAN: You'll never get away with it.
BUFFY: Get away with what? There's a warrant out for your arrest being drafted right now.
Vic comes from the back.
VIC: There's some green goop on the safe, and I found these.
Vic holds up some spell books.
VIC: He has a spell in here so that he can't be harmed - automatic healing. And he has a spell dealing with speed - going faster.
BUFFY: Good. We'll just wait here for the police.
They stand there staring at each other waiting. Suddenly lights bare and sirens flash.
BUFFY: Your ride is here.
Brian tries to run, but is met by Vic blocking him.
VIC: Sorry, honey, this just isn't your night.
There is a knock on the door. Buffy opens it.
BUFFY: Hey, he's right here.
She opens the door, and Brain freezes. He tries to run another way but is met by Buffy. The policemen surround him.
VIC: there is a safe in the back room with some of that green goop on it.
The policemen have Brain cuffed and drag him out of the house. Buffy and Vic stand in the doorway. Brian wriggles and tries to push himself loose.
BRAIN: I'll get out! You'll see! You can't stop me!
Buffy and Vic wave to Brian.
BUFFY: Bye, Brian.
VIC: Buh Bye.
POLICEMAN: Thanks girls - I think we've got all we need to convict him. We might need you to testify, though.
Cut to: Sunnydale court house. Buffy and Vic give their testimonies.
JUDGE: Madam foreperson, have you reached a verdict?
FOREPERSON: Yes we have, your honor. We the jury charge Brian Jennings of two accounts armed robbery and charge him of the maximum penalty.
Cut to: the Summers' house. The whole group sits around the living room. They sit in couples: Buffy & Spike, Vic & Zeke, Willow and Oz hold hands. There is a strange coupling - Anya sits as far away from Xander as possible - she sits closer to Giles, and Dawn is forced to sit next to Xander.
OZ: Oh, we have to show you what we got for Dingo.
WILLOW: Yeah, you should see all the stuff.
Oz goes and gets all of the stuff they got for the puppy. Toys, supplies, etc.
The End.
We're Not in Kansas Anymore
Teaser: Summers house: night: Bathroom: Buffy Vomits in the toilet as Spike holds her hair back. She stops and leans against the toilet.
SPIKE: You ok?
BUFFY: How would you feel.
SPIKE: I wouldn't know.
BUFFY: Crumby.
Spike strokes Buffy's hair.
SPIKE: Come on. You need to eat something.
BUFFY: No food.
SPIKE: You need to eat.
BUFFY: Yuck.
Buffy groans.
BUFFY: Here we go again.
She turns and puts her head back over the toilet bowl. Spike pulls her hair back. She vomits some more.
Cut to: The next morning. Willow sits on the couch watching TV in her pajamas. Buffy and Dawn come down the stairs already dressed.
DAWN: Hey, Will, we're going shopping. Wanna come?
BUFFY: Come on, Will, it'll be fun.
WILLOW: No, that's alright. I kinda just wanna stay in.
BUFFY: It's Saturday! It's our one true day off.
WILLOW: I just wanna hang in my PJs on my one day off.
BUFFY: Ok, mopey, we'll get you something.
WILLOW: No need to... Buffy, are you sure you should be going out - I mean - morning sickness.
BUFFY: It's noon, besides, my morning sickness comes at night.
WILLOW: Ok, then go and enjoy your shopping.
BUFFY: You sure you don't wanna come?
WILLOW: Go. I'll be fine.
BUFFY: Ok, then, see you later.
Buffy and Dawn walk out of the front door. Willow stares blankly at the TV screen. Vic hobbles into the living room.
VIC: Hey, why didn't you go with tem?
WILLOW: I didn't feel like it.
VIC: Enjoying your solitude in a house full of people?
WILLOW: That's the idea.
VIC: Impossible.
WILLOW: What?
VIC: Go out and get the a woman, a man even. Someone.
WILLOW: Neh.
VIC: Praying for the one who got away to come back?
WILLOW: Can you not pretend like you know so much.
VIC: It's not like I can't tell.
WILLOW( rolling her eyes) Tell what?
VIC: You're lonely, but you're not waiting for someone to come. You're waiting for someone to come back.
WILLOW: Yeah, well, she's dead.
VIC: I don't think *she* is dead.
WILLOW: What would you know about it?
VIC: trust me.
Vic walks out of the room and grabs the phone. She calls Zeke. Willow can faintly hear the conversation as she stares at the meaningless dribble on TV. Willow's POV:
VIC; Hey, Zeke! You wanna do something. Ok, meet you there in 15 minutes. Alright buh bye.
Vic hangs up the phone.
VIC: (from the dining room) I'm going out.
WILLOW: Ok.
Willow hears the door close.
Cut to: Anya's flat. Xander is making coffee. they sit, fully clothed without any sign of them doing anything not-kosher. Because they haven't done anything of the sort.
XANDER: Hey, you wanna go see a movie?
ANYA: Sure. What's playing?
XANDER: I don't know. Can't we just go anyway?
ANYA: I guess. Let's go.
XANDER: What about the coffee?
ANYA: Who cares about the coffee?
XANDER: I care.
ANYA: What if someone cursed my caffeine?
XANDER: Fine.
Xander turns off the coffee maker and pours out the coffee that is in the pot. He grabs his coat, and they head out the door.
Cut to: Summers' house. Willow is still staring blankly at the TV. There is a knock at the door. Willow slowly moves towards the door. She opens it. No one is there. She looks all around. Then she looks down. There is a basket with a bow. There is a blanket over the top of the blanket. She picks up the basket and takes it inside. She looks around once more before shutting the door.
Willow walks into the living room and puts the basket on the coffee table.
WILLOW: Please don't let it be fruit or a baby.
Laying on top of the blanket is a note with the name: "Willow" on it. Willow opens the envelope. There is a note in it: *Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Meet me at the bronze at eight o'clock tonight. I'll be looking for you. ~An old friend...PS: I know this is cryptic, but you won't be disappointed - I hope...PPS: I hope you like your present, I named him Dingo; it seemed fitting.*
Willow slowly lifted up the blanket to find a cute little brown and black puppy.
WILLOW: Aww.
Spike comes down the stairs slowly and makes his way into the living room. He is surprised to see Willow sitting there.
SPIKE: Oh, hey, Red, I thought you went with the other - Hey, whatcha got there?
WILLOW: It's a puppy. (Willow looks down at the note) Hey, Spike, What do you make of this?
Spike picks up the note. He reads it.
SPIKE: Wizard of Oz fanatic I suppose. What's up with this Dingo thing?
WILLOW: (realizing something) Do you work tonight?
SPIKE: Yeah.
WILLOW: Good, then I'm gonna meet this guy.
SPIKE: You sure about that? Maybe you should take Buffy along.
WILLOW: Maybe I should take everyone along.
SPIKE: You think he'd still talk to you.
WILLOW: Oh, I think he'll waltz on over.
SPIKE: Ok?
Willow holds up the puppy.
WILLOW: Are you just the cutest little thing I've ever seem?
Cut to: Sunnydale's movie theater. Xander and Anya find their seats.
XANDER: (whispering) This is nice. Two people just going to see a movie - as friends.
ANYA: Yes. Without any emotional or physical att- (distracted by the couple making out a few rows in front of them) Look at that it's just disgusting. Xander - give me some of your popcorn.
Anya digs her hand into Xander's popcorn.
XANDER: What are you doing?
ANYA: I'm gonna throw popcorn at them.
Anya tosses some popcorn at the heads of the couple The couple stops making out.
ANYA: There, that worked.
They turn around. The couple is Vic and Zeke.
XANDER: Great: You threw popcorn at a slayer and her boy toy.
ANYA: Whoops.
Cut to the outside of the movie theater - the movie is over. Anya, Xander, Zeke, and Vic walk out of the theater.
VIC: Good show.
ANYA: Oh, I thought you were too busy to know since you were necking the whole time.
VIC: Well, when I looked up to breathe, I liked what I saw.
Xander rolls his eyes.
Cut to: the Summers' house. Buffy and Dawn walk into the house. Dawn is holding a single bag. Buffy runs up the stairs holding her mouth.
WILLOW: Hey! Back so soon?
DAWN: Buffy's morning sickness caught up with her.
WILLOW: What'd you get?
DAWN: A pair of shoes.
WILLOW: That's it.
DAWN: We had to stop every five minutes to go to the bathroom.
WILLOW: That sucks. (In her excited Willow voice:) Look what I got.
Willow hold up the puppy.
DAWN: Oh, my God, Willow, it's so cute! Where'd it come from?
WILLOW: Someone left it at the door.
Buffy slowly walks down the stairs and into the living room.
DAWN: Oh, Buffy. Look what Willow got.
BUFFY: Aww, he's so cute. Where'd you get him.
WILLOW: Someone left him on the doorstep with this note.
Willow pushes the note across the coffee table, and Buffy picks it up to read it.
WILLOW: What do you make of it?
BUFFY: Oz?
WILLOW: That's what I thought.
BUFFY: Well, it makes sense. The quote from the movie, the name Dingo. Do you think he's back in town.
WILLOW: I don't know, but I want everyone to come with me to the Bronze tonight.
Xander, Anya, Zeke, and Vic walk in the front door. They head into the living room.
VIC: Hey guys, what's up?
DAWN: Puppy, Oz - the Bronze.
XANDER: Huh?
WILLOW: (hands Xander the note.) This note came with this puppy. We think it's from Oz.
XANDER: It's pretty strange.
WILLOW: That's why I want everyone with me at the Bronze tonight.
Cut to: Sunnydale County Bank. A man stands at the counter wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.
MAN: Give me all your money.
The teller goes to give him the money and trips the police alarm. The teller hands the man the money. The man grabs the cash and suddenly: as if at light speed - he is gone breaking the glass of the door on his way out. The cops have no way of chasing him - he is gone in an instant.
Cut to: An old house. The lightning speed man stops at the door. He unlocks it and goes in. He walks into a back room, and opens a safe placing the bag of money in the safe. He takes off his shoes - there is a green gooey residue on them which he wipes off and puts them in his safe along with the gun and the ski-mask.
He looks down at his body. There are shards of glass from the door all over his body.
MAN: Damn Glass!
He pulls out the glass, and his wounds immediately heal.
Cut to: The Summers' house. Everyone is sitting around the living room playing with the puppy - the TV is still on.
NEWSCASTER: We interrupt your regularly scheduled program for this special report.
WILLOW: Shhh, I wanna see what's up.
NEWSCASTER: I am here in front of the Sunnydale County Bank where there has been an unusual robbery. Seen in this video tape taken in the bank (tape rolls on TV) the robber is there, and suddenly he is just a flash of light - eventually breaking the glass.
BUFFY: That's not good.
There is a replay of the security camera on TV.
BUFFY: It's very, very bad. That's definitely not your run-of-the-mill bank robbery.
VIC: Definitely supernatural.
XANDER: Great, so we have a demony bank robber walking the streets.
BUFFY: That was no demon.
VIC: No demon would wear a ski mask. This robber is human
ZEKE: What now?
BUFFY: Willow, can you - Willow?
Willow isn't in the living room anymore. They all head to the dining room where Willow is already on the computer.
WILLOW: I'm getting the police report right now.
Willow clicks her mouse a few more times, and scrolls down a little.
WILLOW: There was a strange green goo found at the scene.
BUFFY: Does it say what's in the goo.
WILLOW: Nope, and the rest, we've already heard.
BUFFY: Wanna do some recon tonight?
WILLOW: But...Oz!
BUFFY: After Oz.
WILLOW: I guess.
VIC: I'm there.
Cut to: Night: The Bronze. Willow, Buffy, Anya, Xander, Vic, Zeke, and Dawn sit at a table out in the open while spike tends bar.
WILLOW: Where is he? It's 8:05...he should be here.
BUFFY: Give him time, Will.
WILLOW: It's not like him.
VIC; Did anything in your mind tell you that it might not be him.
OZ: Might not be who?
Oz is standing behind Vic.
WILLOW: Oz! Come sit.
OZ: You like the puppy?
WILLOW: Loved it.
OZ: I, uh, was hoping we could talk in private?
WILLOW: No problem, come on.
Willow takes him to a little cubby.
WILLOW: What's up? How have you been? Not a werewolf anymore - right?
OZ: right.
WILLOW: So, what's up?
OZ: I'm back. I've transferred all of my credits, and I'm back at UC Sunnydale.
WILLOW: Oz, that's great.
OZ: I miss you Will.
WILLOW: Well, I'm right here, now.
OZ: I know - but I miss you more than this.
WILLOW: More than what?
OZ: More than your presence.
WILLOW: I'm not following you here.
OZ: I miss having you as my girlfriend.
WILLOW: Oh, Oz, but I'm not. I like- I thought we talked about this before.
OZ: I know we did, but I just. I can't be without you, Will. I love you.
WILLOW: No you don't. You have all these illusions about me, but I've changed.
OZ: Then let me get to know you again.
WILLOW: It's not that easy.
OZ: Why can't it be.
WILLOW: Because it just can't.
OZ: Well, ok - here's my number and dorm room (hands her a slip of paper) call me if you change your mind. See ya around.
As leaves. Willow sits bewildered.
Xander is looking around and notices Oz's exit. Xander goes running after him.
XANDER: Hey Oz! Leaving so soon?
OZ: Oh, hey Xander.
XANDER: Come back in, hang.
OZ: No man, it looks like you've got a full group there.
XANDER: We could always use one more.
OZ: I'm just gonna go home. I'll see you around, Xander.
XANDER: Night, man.
Oz walks down the alley and out of sight. Xander walks back into the bronze. Dawn and Vic are out on the dance floor. Zeke is at the bar talking to Spike. Willow is sitting back at the table flipping out. She is on the verge of tears.
WILLOW: You know I- I love him but I can't!
She cries into Buffy's shoulder. Buffy hugs her and pats her on the back.
BUFFY: I know, Will, I know.
WILLOW: And know he's back at UC Sunnydale, and what if he's in some of my classes?
ANYA: (with empathy) I know. How you feel when someone just wants to come back, and you can't let him. (Optimistically) Don't worry, it gets better. (Rambling to herself - about herself) Or at least that's what they tell me with fake sympathy as if they actually know what they're talking about. They never do... know what they're talking about - or anything for that matter. They know nothing, and you know what -
BUFFY: ANYA!
Anya looks up not realizing she said anything wrong.
BUFFY: Not helping the situation.
ANYA: Sorry, just trying to be comforting. (to Willow) Want some ice cream? Not that that helps at all - all that does is make you gain a few pounds making you even more depressed, and you're not-
XANDER: An!
Anya looks up again with that same blank look.
XANDER: We get it. Xander bad. Just stop.
ANYA: Why did you refer to yourself in the third person? You know, that is really annoying. That's another thing -
BUFFY/XANDER: ANYA!
ANYA: I'm gonna go get a beer.
Anya leaves the table and the original Scoobies to their woes.
BUFFY: You know what?
WILLOW: (hopefully) What?
BUFFY: We need to go and investigate the bank before I get to vomiting. Xand, will you grab the girls and Zeke?
XANDER: Sure.
Xander gets out into the dance floor to grab Vic and Dawn.
BUFFY: ( beginning to stand up) We'll talk - I promise. Just - after we get some work done.
WILLOW: Ok.
Cut to: Sunnydale County Bank. The gang enters with flashlights blazing. Willow goes to the spot here he started running. She looks down to find some green goop still on the floor.
WILLOW: Here it is.
BUFFY: Great.
They look around some more. There are no signs of demonic activity or anything paranormal - just the goop. Which Willow has put into a clear vile.
BUFFY: There's nothing. Not a thing. Can you think of anything else that would give us a clue?
WILLOW: Not a thing.
XANDER: Anyone, Anyone? (No one looks up or says a thing) Didn't think so.
BUFFY: Well, I guess we'll just have to go with what we found. (She pauses) Oh, no. (she holds her hand over her mouth, and runs out of the bank)
DAWN: Night sickness is here.
WILLOW: We should get home.
Cut to: Summers' house: kitchen - later that night. Willow has her chemistry stuff laid out and is waiting. Buffy sits at the island and watches.
BUFFY: So, do you miss him?
WILLOW: of course I do.
Willow pick the puppy up off of the floor. She pets him.
BUFFY: Do you love him?
WILLOW: Yeah. Of course - I mean, do you love your exes?
BUFFY: Both of em.
WILLOW: Yeah, exactly.
BUFFY: Thanks for waiting to talk - I just didn't wanna be talking to you with my face in the toilet bowl.
Cut to: Bathroom: Buffy vomiting in the toilet. Willow holds her hair back. Buffy sits up and leans against the toilet.
BUFFY: So you never considered it?
WILLOW: No, I mean, I like girls.
BUFFY: But not Oz, I mean - he's *Oz*
WILLOW: I know, but I don't know - I'd like to have him as my boyfriend, but somehow it feels like betrayal.
BUFFY: Who are you betraying?
WILLOW: Myself, Tara.
BUFFY: How?
WILLOW: It wasn't supposed to be just one of those college experiment things - it was supposed to be the real thing.
BUFFY: Maybe you just like guys and girls. I mean it is Oz - he was *the one* at one point in your life - about as long as Tara was the one.
WILLOW: I guess. I just don't know. I mean, I want some thing, but -
BUFFY: Oh, God, here we go again.
Buffy leans over the toilet and Willow holds her hair back again.
WILLOW: But I don't know how I feel about it. It was Oz. He cheated on, me, and I don't know, I still -
Buffy lifts her head and leans back against the toilet bowl.
BUFFY: Willow, he was a werewolf - he wasn't Oz. And you cheated on him too. They were both accidents.
WILLOW: I know, but - (quickly changing subjects) Hey! The goo tests should be done! let's go check.
Buffy pushes herself up off of the toilet. They walk downstairs and into the kitchen. Willow put some of the goo under a microscope.
WILLOW: That's not so weird.
BUFFY: What?
WILLOW: Shoe rubber.
BUFFY: Oh. Does that help us any?
WILLOW: I don't know - there's no specific kind of rubber - just regular shoe rubber.
BUFFY: Dead end?
WILLOW: Well, we can look at the tests.
BUFFY: Ok.
Willow puts a new slide under the microscope.
WILLOW: Well, it's not living. But it's definitely not of this dimension.
BUFFY: Ok. So what now?
WILLOW: I don't know.
BUFFY: There has to be something we've missed.
WILLOW: I know there is - but what?
Cut to: UC Sunnydale; Monday morning. Willow sits down in a lecture hall. She's all alone and reading a book. She is wrapped up in it and doesn't notice the person sitting a few seats down from her.
OZ: (leaning towards Willow) Excuse me - I just transferred here - is this class any good.
WILLOW: (looking up excited) It's great! The professor is really - (realizing it's oz) Oh, Oz, hi. What's up. Um, I didn't know you took - how are you?
OZ: (smirking at Willows strange rambling) Willow speech - I remember that.
WILLOW: I'm sorry about last night, I just -
OZ: No, it's ok. Your girlfriend just died a while ago - you need time.
WILLOW: No, I mean, I should be over her. I just I haven't been miss Social Butterfly lately. I enjoy my solitude, and well, even if I get out - I don't do much. Just a change of scenery, and then you come and there's this chance staring in the face, and - betrayal - and I just want - I want-
OZ: (calmly) Whoa, whoa, whoa - slow down. Betrayal?
WILLOW: Yeah.
OZ: Who's betraying who here?
WILLOW: I'm betraying me, and - and Tara - and you, I guess.
OZ: Not following this chain of betrayal you've created.
WILLOW: Well, I'm a lesbian, and "Yay me" but there's still something saying: "ooh, Oz - wouldn't it be great to be with Oz again?" And then, I say "No, you told Tara this wasn't just some phase." And then, if I really am a full fledged lesbian, and I'm with you, then I'm lying to you, and if I'm not with you, then I'm betraying my feelings towards you.
OZ: Shh - shh - shh. Just do what's in your heart. I think everyone will respect that.
WILLOW: Thank you.
OZ: You wanna go out tonight?
WILLOW: We're patrolling - in search of a bank robber - clues. But, you can come - if you want, I mean: Patrolling - not the funnest thing I've done.
OZ: We'll make it fun.
WILLOW: Well, we might get to beat up some snitches.
OZ: That's always fun.
Oz moves his seat right next to Willow.
Cut to: The 21st Bank of Sunnydale. The same man comes up to the teller wearing all black and a ski mask. He puts up a gun.
MAN: Give me all your money.
The teller grabs a bag from the man and quietly puts money in it. Then, he smacks the 911 button on his way back to the counter. The man grabs money and suddenly moves at hyper-speed out of the bank breaking through the full glass window that covers the whole wall (up, down, left and right) the glass shatters as he breaks through it. He is out of sight before the police even get to the scene.
The man arrives at the house he did a couple days before. He stops abruptly at the door, and unlocks it. He heads to the back room of the house where he puts the money in the safe. He takes out the revolver and pops it open, then spins it around: no bullets.
MAN: Stupid people.
He puts the revolver into the safe. He takes off his ski mask, and puts it into the safe. He takes off his shoes. He wipes the green goo off of them, and looks at the bottom of them. The fast traction has burnt a hole right through the bottom of his shoe. He tosses the shoes into the safe and pulls out a new pair. He locks the safe - then looks down at his body. It's covered with little cuts, and some shards of glass are poking from each one. He pulls out the glass - the wounds are slower to heal.
MAN: The spell must be fading.
Cut to: The Summers' house: Everyone is there: Buffy, Dawn, Vic, Zeke, Xander, Anya, Spike, Giles, Willow, and Oz. They sit around the TV watching the news report.
NEWSCASTER: Well, it looks like the Hyper-speed Bank Robber was at it again today.
BANK ROBBER: (at his house) Hyper-Drive Bank Robber. You'd think they could have come up with a better name.
NEWSCASTER: The same routine as the bank on Saturday.
BUFFY: Now, you guys look - see if you can find anything for evidence.
Everyone watches as the security tape trying to take in as much as they can.
NEWSCASTER: The robber has hit two banks, and police cannot find out who he is. They have just released information that an inexplicable green substance has been found at each crime scene. If you have any leads or information on the Hyper-Speed Bank Robber, please contact the Sunnydale Police department at (212) 555-4353.
Xander clicks off the TV.
BUFFY: I can't think of anything.
VIC: I know we're missing something.
BUFFY: Willow can you go on the net, and tell us what the police *aren't* telling us?
WILLOW: No problem.
Willow gets up and walks into the dining room.
BUFFY: Ok, we're gonna have to go to the latest bank - see if any clues are more visible.
GILES: Perhaps, we should break off into groups - this is important, but so is patrolling. We don't want vampires running a muck through Sunnydale because there is a bank robbery.
VIC: He's right. What if this robber is just a decoy for something bigger?
BUFFY: Ok, Vic, take Zeke, Xander, and Anya, and patrol. The rest of us will head out to the bank and figure out what's going on.
VIC: Ok.
ANYA: (not caring who's in the room to listen) Why do I have to get the crumby job? I always get stuck with it.
BUFFY: Next time, we'll reverse. Ok?
ANYA: No, it's not the same.
BUFFY: Whatever. We should probably get moving at Sun down. There's a couple more hours - so until then, do whatcha wanna do.
No body moves.
BUFFY: Or we could all hang out here.
DAWN: Can we get pizza?
BUFFY: Sure. I'll order it.
Buffy goes to order the pizza. They all lean back and relax in their spots.
XANDER: I kinda wish this wasn't a human. Demons are so much easier to stop. There are books telling you what they do, and what they want, and -
WILLOW: (From the dining room) Hey you guys!
Everyone rushes into the dining room.
WILLOW: Look at this website - isn't it funny? Look at GW dancing.
XANDER: Willow. You're on TVdance. com?
WILLOW: Yeah, well, I think we have more figured out than the cops - they're pretty useless. So I went for some amusement.
The puppy is sitting in her lap.
WILLOW: Hey! Before we have to go and fight evil - does someone wanna go and get stuffy for the puppy? Like toys and food and stuffy - we can't keep feeding him bacon. It can't be good for him.
OZ: Sure, I'll go with you.
WILLOW: Great. Let's go. We'll bring him with us.
Willow grabs her coat, and they are out the kitchen door.
BUFFY: Where are they going?
DAWN: Puppy shopping.
XANDER: (at the computer) Hey! Look - Chris Farley Dancing!
Cut to: Later: Everyone has finished their pizza and is just hanging around. Willow and Oz come in the front door with a bunch of bags.
BUFFY: (from living room) Hey! You're back. We saved some pizza for you.
WILLOW: Oh, great! Thanks.
Willow puts the puppy down and he goes off to play with the people. He goes crawling up Giles' leg. Giles looks down, and picks Dingo up.
GILES: Hello. (in one of those puppy/baby voices) What are you going? Huh? What are you doing?
Everyone stares at him in awe.
GILES: What? I can't talk to the puppy?
BUFFY: Anyway, if you guys aren't gonna eat, we should probably get going. Since the Sun is down and all.
WILLOW: Yeah, ok.
OZ: Sure. We can show you all the cool stuff we got Dingo when we get back.
BUFFY: Let's go.
Cut to: One of Sunnydale's cemeteries. Zeke, Vic, Xander, and Anya stand in a circle.
VIC: Ok, so Xander and Anya, you -
ANYA: Maybe we should stay in one big group.
VIC: But we'll cover more ground if we split up.
ANYA: (pushing) But it would be safer if we all stayed together.
XANDER: Come on, An. Vic's right.
ANYA: But it would be safer -
VIC: You'll be fine with Xander.
Anya grabs Vic and pulls her behind a tree. Anya looks back to make sure Xander and Zeke haven't followed them.
ANYA: (to Xander and Zeke) We'll be just a sec.
VIC: What's wrong?
ANYA: (whispering) I'm afraid.
VIC: (whispering) Of demons? That's kinda sad considering you *are* a demon
ANYA: (offended - in a normal voice) No! (correcting herself) No.
VIC: Then What?
ANYA: ( checks to make sure the boys haven't moved) Of Xander.
VIC: (in a normal voice) Xander!?!
Vic looks back to make sure Xander didn't hear her. Xander looks at her and raises his arm in question:
XANDER: Are you guys ready?
Vic puts her finger up as to indicate "one minute." She ducks back behind the tree.
VIC: Why are you afraid of Xander?
ANYA: I'm afraid he might...try to kiss me.
VIC: I can see why you wouldn't wanna patrol with him.
ANYA: Yeah.
VIC: Well, I don't wanna patrol with him.
ANYA: See, and when I think of him trying to kiss me I just wanna kick something.
Anya kicks the tree and yelps in pain. The boys rush to see what is the matter.
XANDER: You ok?
VIC: She's fine - can you go back to where you were - we're kinda busy.
Xander and Zeke back up oblivious and confused.
VIC: Well, he might still try to kiss you if we're in a group.
ANYA: Don't say that.
VIC: What are we gonna do.
ANYA: We could put Zeke with Xander.
VIC: (not paying attention) I mean I don't wanna patrol with him
ANYA: You could put Zeke and Xander together.
VIC: (still not listening) And you don't wanna patrol with him. And it's kinda illogical to be in one big group.
ANYA: Put Zeke with Xander.
VIC: I've got it - we could have Zeke and Xander patrol together!
Anya angrily groans and walks off.
XANDER: What took you guys so long?
VIC: Oh, um, Anya needed a hair-tie - no dice.
Xander looks around and then looks down at Anya's wrist.
XANDER: What's that on your wrist, An?
Anya looks down and acts surprised.
ANYA: I knew I had one somewhere.
Anya pulls the rubber band from her wrist and puts her hair into a ponytail.
VIC: Ok, so Anya and I will go through the cemeteries while you two go through the alleys and warehouses.
ZEKE: Ok.
Vic mouths the word "Sorry" to Zeke.
VIC: We'll meet back at the house at, let's say 10.
XANDER: Alright, c'mon Zeke.
Cut to: The latest crime scene. The group walk into the bank through the boarded up door. Willow goes to the point where the criminal started and scoops up a vile of green goop.
WILLOW: I don't think we'll find anything new from this.
BUFFY: There has to be something we're missing.
Spike stops in the middle of the room.
SPIKE: I smell blood.
No one pays attention. Spike backs up toward the door.
SPIKE: There's blood on the door.
Giles looks up and takes notice.
SPIKE: (louder) There is blood on this door!
Willow and Oz look up.
WILLOW: That makes sense - that's what we missed.
BUFFY: Huh?
OZ: Well, if you crashed through a glass door, you'd leave blood, too.
BUFFY: Not if you do it right.
The group looks up in confusion.
BUFFY: What? I've broken through a lot of glass in my time without a scratch!
WILLOW: Whatever. We can use the blood to run some DNA tests.
BUFFY: Great. Dawn, can you go out in the front and find any pieces of glass with blood on them?
DAWN: Sure.
Dawn goes out of the door. She quickly comes back.
DAWN: There's no glass out there. They must have swept it up.
BUFFY: Ok, then see if they dumped it somewhere in here. Spike, can you sniff out a piece of glass that we can test.
SPIKE: You make it sound like I'm a bleedin' dog.
BUFFY: Spike! There's a bank robber on the loose! Take it how you want - just do it!
SPIKE: Fine!
Dawn and Giles search for the swept up glass while Buffy, Willow, and Oz search for more clues, and Spike finds a bloody piece of glass. Suddenly there is a loud shatter. Spike has broken more of the door off. he hands Willow a piece of glass.
SPIKE: Can you make something of that?
WILLOW: (peering closely looking for the blood) I can try. W-where is the blood on this?
Spike takes it back and looks at it. He turns the glass multiple times until he has the sharpest point pointing up.
SPIKE: Right there.
WILLOW: Oh.
SPIKE: Hey, it's the best I can do.
WILLOW: Oh, no it's ok.
Willow slips the glass into a zip-lock bag.
BUFFY: Ok, let's roll.
Cut to: Patrolling. Zeke and Xander walk through an alley behind some warehouses.
ZEKE: So...you slept with my girlfriend.
XANDER: (astonished) Y-yeah, b-b-but it was a - a - um.
ZEKE: Yeah.
XANDER: I didn't mean for it t-t-to happen.
ZEKE: Yeah, well, no hard feelings, man.
XANDER: (weakly) No. Of course not.
ZEKE: After they scraped her up off of the floor - I don't think she'll turn to you for much. I'm not worried.
XANDER: (sarcastically) Well, that makes me feel so much better about myself.
ZEKE: Listen, I just don't want her hurt.
XANDER: I'm not the one in jeopardy of hurting her - you're the boyfriend here.
ZEKE: Well, I have no intention of hurting her.
XANDER: Then why are we having this conversation?
ZEKE: Small talk.
XANDER: listen. I love Anya. That's it. Anything between me and Vic - no, no! There was nothing between me and Vic - just a mild physical attraction. It's over - so tell me agina why you care.
ZEKE: Because she is my girlfriend.
XANDER: What? So you just wanted to set all of the boundaries now?
ZEKE: Basically.
XANDER: Well, they've been set. Someone should be setting boundaries for you!
ZEKE: I've got my boundaries - I'm aware of the peril my knee caps are in.
XANDER: Well, good. Now you know how I feel.
ZEKE: No. I don't. Listen, don't take it personally, man, it's just that-
XANDER: Don't take it personally!? Listen, if you're gonna accuse me - do it - but don't frost over it with a "Don't worry about it" Because you wouldn't have mentioned it unless you wanted me to worry.
ZEKE: Take it how you want to.
XANDER: Is there something you want to get off your chest.
ZEKE: Just - don't try anything.
XANDER: Not that I would want to, but what if I did?
ZEKE: I don't think you really wanna know what would happen.
XANDER: If you haven't noticed, your girlfriend is the Slayer - she can handle herself.
ZEKE: It wouldn't just be about her.
XANDER: But it takes two to tango.
ZEKE: There are things besides tangoing.
XANDER: What? You think I'm gonna harass her. The thought never crossed my mind.
ZEKE: Sure.
Xander stops and faces Zeke.
XANDER: What? You trying to be the big man here? Come one (Xander spreads his arms out) take a shot.
Zeke turns away shaking his head. Xander puts his arms down.
XANDER: That's what I-
Zeke cracks one into Xander's jaw. Xander stumbles back. Then straightens himself. His lip is bleeding. Xander runs at Zeke, and punches him in the stomach. The boys get into a wrestling/punching match knocking each other to the ground.
Two vampires stand at the end of the alley and Watch.
VAMP 1: You think we should eat them.
VAMP 2: Naw, man, they've got issues. Let's go to the Bronze.
VAMP 1: ok.
The two vampires walk off.
Zeke and Xander lay on their backs on the concrete - bloody and sweating.
ZEKE: Truce?
XANDER: Truce.
Cut to: the Summers' house: Willow is searching the police records.
BUFFY: We got a match yet?
WILLOW: no...hold on! I think I found something. Brian Jennings. Perfect match.
BUFFY: What kind of record?
WILLOW: Couple years for arson, a few for burglary.
BUFFY: Got an address?
Willow grabs a sheet of paper and writes down an address.
BUFFY: Good - we'll hit it as soon as Vic gets back.
Vic walks in the front door. Spike is sitting there watching TV. He looks up.
SPIKE: Hello, Vixen.
VIC: Hey.
SPIKE: How was patrol.
VIC: A bounty-less night - I hope the boys did ok. They here yet?
SPIKE: I'm the only man in this house.
VIC: And you're not a man but a vampire.
SPIKE: True - but I did impregnate a woman - give me that much.
VIC: Where's Buffy?
SPIKE: In the dining room with Willow.
VIC: Did you crack the case?
SPIKE: Wide open.
VIC: What was it?
SPIKE: Blood.
VIC: Ok, well, I'm gonna go check in with the boss.
Vic walks into the dining room. Willow is sitting alone - on the computer.
VIC: Where's Buffy?
WILLOW: Night-sickness.
VIC: Oh.
Vic goes up the stairs. She heads to the bathroom to find Buffy over the toilet with Dawn holding her hair back.
DAWN: ...so I let him sit with us that one day, and he won't leave me alone.
Buffy leans on the side of the toilet.
BUFFY: Maybe he has a crush on you.
DAWN: Well, duh, but how do I get rid of him?
VIC: Break is knee-caps. That always works for me.
DAWN: Oh, hey, Vic.
BUFFY: Hey Vic. When I'm done here, we're gonna go catch the bad guy.
VIC: Cool.
BUFFY: (to Dawn) You just have to tell him that you don't like him like that.
DAWN: Try at all.
VIC: Don't tell him that - he might go suicidal. Well, I'm gonna go watch some TV. Call me when you need me.
Vic heads down the stairs an plops herself on the couch. The door opens, and Zeke and Xander stumble in - bruised and beaten.
VIC: Whoa - vampires?
XANDER: (looks at Zeke) A whole slew of them.
ZEKE: Cornered us - but we broke free, and killed em all.
Vic looks them over. There are blood stains on their pants and shirts.
VIC: Where'd the blood come from?
XANDER: T-the vampires?
VIC: What'd you have one in a head-lock?
XANDER: Well, yeah.
VIC: Please. I'm not that stupid.
ZEKE: What?
VIC: Why don't we get Willow in here and see if the blood on Zeke's shirt matches blood from Xander and vice versa.
XANDER: What are you talking about?
VIC: What do you think, Spike?
SPIKE: I think they got into a fight with each other, and are blaming it on vampires.
ZEKE: Please, Vic, don't flatter yourself.
VIC: I never said you were fighting over me. Did I, Spike?
SPIKE: No, I can't say that I did hear you say that.
VIC: That's because I didn't. So you two were fighting over me?
XANDER: (knowing they're caught) N-n-no.
Buffy heads down the stairs.
BUFFY: Come on, Vic - we should get this done befo-
Buffy looks at Xander and Zeke.
BUFFY: What happened to you two?
XANDER: Vampires.
BUFFY: (to Vic) They beat up each other?
VIC: Yupp.
BUFFY: We should get this bust over with.
VIC: Ok. Should we take back up?
BUFFY: No, it's just one guy.
VIC: (to the guys) Clean yourselves up while we're gone, ok?
Buffy and Vic leave.
XANDER: how did they figure that out?
SPIKE: Your excuse was lame, and generally most of the blood spilled on your clothes is your own - and how would you get your own blood on your pants?
XANDER: shut up.
Cut to: The house of Brian Jennings. Buffy and Vic walk on the door. Brian opens the door.
BUFFY: (sweetly) Hi, our car broke down down the road, and we were wondering if we could use your phone?
BRIAN: Huh?
VIC: Our car stalled - can we use your phone?
BRIAN: Sorry, but no.
Brian goes to close the door, and Buffy puts her boot into is.
BUFFY: What - not used to letting strange women in your home?
BRIAN: Huh?
Buffy pushes the door open. She and Vic walk in. They shut the door behind them, and Vic stands in front of the door.
BUFFY: So...where are you hiding the money?
BRIAN: I don't know what you're talking about.
BUFFY: Yes, you do. It's your blood on the door. That's the one thing you forgot to cover.
BRAIN: you're crazy.
BUFFY: We told the cops to look at the glass in the banks for blood. They're comparing it to yours as we speak. (to Vic) Check the house - safes, shoes, spells.
Vic goes off to search the house.
BRAIN: You can't touch me.
BUFFY: And why is that?
BRAIN: Go ahead - cut me, hurt me, try it - go ahead.
BUFFY: I don't want to hurt you - I just want you caught.
BRIAN: Why do you care?
BUFFY: Because they do. Because it could be my bank you could hit next.
BRIAN: You'll never get away with it.
BUFFY: Get away with what? There's a warrant out for your arrest being drafted right now.
Vic comes from the back.
VIC: There's some green goop on the safe, and I found these.
Vic holds up some spell books.
VIC: He has a spell in here so that he can't be harmed - automatic healing. And he has a spell dealing with speed - going faster.
BUFFY: Good. We'll just wait here for the police.
They stand there staring at each other waiting. Suddenly lights bare and sirens flash.
BUFFY: Your ride is here.
Brian tries to run, but is met by Vic blocking him.
VIC: Sorry, honey, this just isn't your night.
There is a knock on the door. Buffy opens it.
BUFFY: Hey, he's right here.
She opens the door, and Brain freezes. He tries to run another way but is met by Buffy. The policemen surround him.
VIC: there is a safe in the back room with some of that green goop on it.
The policemen have Brain cuffed and drag him out of the house. Buffy and Vic stand in the doorway. Brian wriggles and tries to push himself loose.
BRAIN: I'll get out! You'll see! You can't stop me!
Buffy and Vic wave to Brian.
BUFFY: Bye, Brian.
VIC: Buh Bye.
POLICEMAN: Thanks girls - I think we've got all we need to convict him. We might need you to testify, though.
Cut to: Sunnydale court house. Buffy and Vic give their testimonies.
JUDGE: Madam foreperson, have you reached a verdict?
FOREPERSON: Yes we have, your honor. We the jury charge Brian Jennings of two accounts armed robbery and charge him of the maximum penalty.
Cut to: the Summers' house. The whole group sits around the living room. They sit in couples: Buffy & Spike, Vic & Zeke, Willow and Oz hold hands. There is a strange coupling - Anya sits as far away from Xander as possible - she sits closer to Giles, and Dawn is forced to sit next to Xander.
OZ: Oh, we have to show you what we got for Dingo.
WILLOW: Yeah, you should see all the stuff.
Oz goes and gets all of the stuff they got for the puppy. Toys, supplies, etc.
The End.
