"Hey B how's it hanging"

Buffy was standing outside the prison and had waited there since she had found out what time Faith was being released. She had seen Angel first in his new place, which may not be his much longer if that law firm Wolfram & Hart managed to buy the lease.

"I wanna talk to you"

"Fire away B"

"Why?

"Why what? Why did I turn evil? Why did I cause you all so much pain?"

"Everything, I want to know why you did everything you did after we tried to help you?"

"Don't you mean after you offered me your pity? You guys never helped me, all you offered was pity." Anger was starting to creep into Faith's voice.

"What!" shouted Buffy shocked

"When I killed the Deputy Mayor it was me by myself, you were there as well B but it was my problem according to you."

"I tried to help you, I tried to get Angel to help you."

"Yeah and it was working but then Wes comes along and screws things up. After that I knew you guys wouldn't trust me any more so instead of being excluded, I went to someone who needed me."

"The Mayor." It wasn't a question but a statement.

"Yeah, sure he was evil and was gonna destroy everybody but he needed me."

"Faith, I needed you."

"What!" now it was Faith's turn to raise her voice "You didn't need me, you had the scoobs."

"We were the Chosen Two and it was going well." Buffy said softly "It's been hard for me since you went evil, I miss you and you caused a lot of hurt that made it easier to."

"To stick a knife in my gut." Faith finished "Look B I've spent most of my time in prison thinking and I'm willing to move back to Sunnydale permanently to help out. But only if we put the past behind us and we both stop making mistakes."

"After everything that's happened since you went to prison I realise that I made a mistake and if Willow can forgive you I know I can."

"Red's forgiven me, cool. Look B, we got into that argument so fast I forgot to say that I'm sorry, for everything."

"Apology accepted, so let's get back to Sunnydale, lots of demons to slay and not enough time."

"Sure thing B, so how's Beefstick."
