Season/Spoilers: This is set after Faith kills that man but before she gets involved with working with the Mayor and before the counsel puts their ugly noses into the situation. Everything up to that point is the same...however Angel's the one that talks to Faith not Buffy. Also no B/A...'cause I don't like them together but they are friends.

A few days later Graduation day approached and Faith appeared to Buffy in a dream.
* "You wanna know the deal? Human weakness, never goes away. Even his." Faith replied.
"So how are you going to pack all this stuff." Buffy asked looking around the apartment.
"Not gonna. It's yours." Faith answered walking towards her fellow slayer.
"I can't possibly use all this stuff." Buffy insisted.
"Just take what you need." Faith replied now in front of the other girl. She then raised her hand to Buffy's face and said, "Are you ready?" *
Buffy woke with a new understanding of what she needed to do. She rolled over and called Giles. "Hey. Get everyone to the library." Was all she said before hanging up to get ready.
Sunnydale Library
"So that's the plan. Am I crazy?" Buffy asked.
"No." Someone replied.
"But I wouldn't rule it out." Giles replied from the stairs.
"So it can't be done?" Buffy asked.
"I didn't say that, but I might." Giles intervened.
"Well it's the only plan that we've got." Cordelia spoke up and then continued, "Besides it's Buffy's plan...you know slay-gal, likes to kill things."
Everyone looked at Cordelia but was turned to Wesley when he added, "Well we don't have much time to debate things. What now?"
"Well Faith told me to play on his weakness." Buffy stated.
"Faith told you? Before or after she was put in a coma?" Willow asked confused.
"After." Buffy replied which added looks of confusion.
"Which is?" Giles inquired.
"I do all the planning..." Buffy started but was interrupted by Oz.
"Angel you spent the most time with the Mayor, is there anything that he's afraid of?"
"Well he's not to crazy about germs." Angel started.
"That's it." Cordy called.
"Great we'll corner him and you can sneeze on him." Buffy replied sarcastically.
Before Cordelia could reply Angel added, "Faith." They all turned to look at him so he continued, "At the hospital he was seriously grieving in a serious not wanting to become a demon."
"Faith I can work that." Buffy replied remembering Angel mentioning Faith being stabbed and how the Mayor thought she did it. "Everyone, reach out. Giles, weapons, weapons, weapons." She said before turning towards the door to leave.
"Where are you going." Giles asked.
"There's something I need to get."
Later in Giles' Office
"This isn't going to be enough." Buffy stated as she looked at the weapons pile.
"I'm leaving." Angel replied.
"I know."
"I'm not going to say good-bye. If we survive I'm just going to go." Angel said before leaving the office. Once out of the office Angel picked up the phone and dialed the hospital number. "Hi, yes I was wondering about the progress of one of you're patients." Pause. "Faith Wilkins." Pause. "What?" A long pause, followed by an unneeded breath. "I'll be down to see her."
Buffy walked out of the office. "What's up?" She asked after Angel put the phone down.
"Faith's awake." He answered.
"Go see her."
Angel gave Buffy a 'thanks' look and walked out the library doors.
Sunnydale Hospital
Angel walked in the doors and up to the counter. "Faith Wilkins?" He asked.
"Room 234" The dark haired nurse answered.
"Thanks." He said before he walked away. Once he got to the room he listened in to see if Wilkins was there. Deciding that the coast was clear he opened the door quietly. "Faith?" He called.
Faith was sleeping lightly when she felt a familiar presence walk in to her room. Opening her eyes to see the dark vampire, her savor, and her friend. She smiled softly at that thought. My friend. "Hey." She whispered unsure of her voice.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Like I got hit by a truck."
Angel chuckled lightly at that and replied, "Just so you know, I got the plates of said truck."
Faith laughed and replied, "I'll never get tired of your weird humor."
Angel took an unneeded breath before he replied, "I'm leaving Sunnydale."
Hearing this Faith sat up and cried out in pain. "What?" She asked pain and hurt evident in her voice.
Angel rushed towards her when he saw her sit up and helped her down before answering, "I thought maybe you'd like to come with me. You know, start a new life."
A look of relief spread over her face. She reached out for his hand before replying, "I'd like that."
Then as a joke Angel replied, "That way I can keep my eye on you."
Laughing Faith lightly hit his arm, laughing even harder when he did the mock look of pain. Faith sobered up as the doctor walked into the room.
"How's my patient?" He asked.
"Better." Faith replied.
"I heard." He responded and then began checking her vitals. "What?" He questioned when he saw that her arm had almost completely healed.
Faith saw his look and replied, "I'm a quick healer."
The doctor looked at the young lady in the bed and replied, "That's a good thing to know."
Faith looked at Angel and he asked, "When can she sign out?"
"I want to run some more tests but she'll be able to later today." The doctor replied before leaving.
Faith smiled lightly before saying, "You should get back to the gang."
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yea. You need to stop the Mayor." Faith replied sadness running threw her eyes.
Nodding Angel bent over and gave her a quick, light hug. He smiled when she lifted her arms and returned the hug. He then whispered, "Everything will be okay."
Graduation Ceremony
The speeches passed with a strange blur, and the next thing the students of Sunnydale knew they were fighting, literally for they're lives. Few students died, other's turned, but most survived.
The next thing anyone knew the library part of the school blew up along with the other parts of school. After the big explosion Faith walked up to Buffy. "Good fight." Faith replied.
"Thanks, you too." Buffy said to the other slayer knowing she came into the battle after the Mayor went after Buffy.
Faith leaned over to hug the blond, knowing that she probably wouldn't see her. "Good-bye. Thanks for everything." Faith whispered.
Buffy pulled back and replied, "Your welcome. Couldn't have done it all without you. Take care of Angel."
"I will." She said before walking away. Faith stopped and replied, "Tell the gang bye for me."
"Okay." Buffy said and watched Faith walk up to Angel and then the both of them walked away.
