Chapter 6 (Time to save the world. All dialogue that is straight from the
episode Chosen belongs to Joss Wedon. Isn't he a genius.;)
"Don't," says Buffy. Xander mumbles. Buffy does not understand. "What?" She removes her hand from his mouth.
"I can't breath," says Xander. He slides his hand down her back.
"Did you just touch my butt?" ask Buffy. Her eyes widen.
"Sorry," says Xander looking down with a smirk.
"I'm getting hungry," says Kennedy. "I want some ice cream."
"Yeah, me too," says Willow.
"Do you have any chocolate syrup?" ask Kennedy.
"I think we do," replies Willow as she gets off the bed. Kennedy gets a look and looks at Willow.
"Good, cause I got a few ideas of what we can do with that chocolate syrup," says Kennedy with a smirk. Willow smiles at her getting what Kennedy meant. The two head downstairs.
Buffy opens the closet door as soon as the two girls disappeared into the hallway. She looks at Xander then heads to the door.
"Come on lets go," says Buffy with a book in her right hand.
"I wonder what Kennedy meant by the chocolate syrup," ask Xander. Buffy looks at Xander with a half smile. "No, I want to stay."
"No, Xander, come on," says Buffy. She pulls him down the hall and into her room. Buffy closes the door and checks out the book flipping through the pages on the bed. Xander walks over to Buffy to look at the book then someone knocks on the door. They both look at the door then at each other. Buffy gives Xander the book and touches his shoulder slightly. She heads to the door and opens it.
"Oh, it's you," says Buffy. Faith enters the room and closes the door.
"So what you got?" ask Faith.
"The book says for one to make their wish to become a reality one most make their wish during a full moon when the stars are aligned," Buffy explains.
"Gee, can't get more specific than that," says Xander sarcastically.
"How do we know when that will happen?" ask Faith. Buffy smiles. "This is not funny Kat." Xander looks at Buffy and figures her out.
"I'm just kidding," says Buffy.
"What?" shouts Faith.
"I always wanted to say 'during a full moon when the stars are aligned,'" says Buffy. "It sounds kind of gypsy like." Xander nods his head and smiles.
"Xander look away," says Faith. "I'm going to kill my friend here."
"Tammy all we gotta do is wish to be our selves," says Buffy in a calm voice.
"That's it," says Faith. "That's so..."
"Easy," says Xander finishing Faith's sentence.
"Well, I hope it's true," says Buffy. "It's the only thing I found."
"Well, I hope it works," says Faith. Buffy hands Faith Willows book.
"Put this back in Willows room," says Buffy. Faith leaves the room and puts the book back before Willow and Kennedy return from their ice cream craving.
Back in Buffy's room Buffy sits down on the bed and Xander sits right next to her. Buffy looks at Xander and smiles.
"I didn't think I would have a reason not to leave," says Buffy. She bows her head.
"I don't want you to go," says Xander grabbing her hand. "But you can't stay."
"I don't belong here," says Buffy looking into Xander's eyes. She pulls her hand away and gets up. Before she exits she turns around.
"She says that you're her strength," says Buffy. Xander looks up. "Whatever that means."
"Why?" ask Xander.
"I think it's because you bring the good in her," says Buffy. "She really appreciates that." Xander thinks about what Buffy said as she leaves the room. She heads down stairs passing the dinning room where Giles, Amanda, Andrew, and Anya are playing a wizard game.
Buffy enters the kitchen and turns to the basement door. She goes down the stairs into the basement. Buffy sees Spike taking off his shirt. Buffy quickly turns around and goes back up the stairs. Spike turns and hears her running up the stairs. He puts on a shirt and heads upstairs.
Buffy is walking back and forth in the kitchen then heads out of the kitchen. Suddenly she sees Spike emerging from the basement. Buffy turns to him giving a smile.
"Oh hi Spike," says Buffy starting to walk off. "Bye Spike."
"Not so fast Slayer," says Spike gently grabbing Buffy's arm. "How come you ran back upstairs?" Buffy pulls her arm away from Spike. She gives a 'Buffy expression'.
"Um, well, you know I want to give you your privacy since you were changing," says Buffy turning away from Spike. He raises his eyebrow not believing a word Buffy said.
"Are you sure about that?" ask Spike. Buffy nods her head. Spike gets a look in his eye.
"I'm fine," says Buffy with a big smile. She lies against the wall with her hands behind her back. He looks at her then thinks to himself.
"Are you really Buffy?" ask Spike.
'Oh my gosh, he knows I'm not Buffy,' says Buffy in her mind. Her eyes widen.
"Spike. Why would you say that?" says Buffy turning away from him.
"I don't know," says Spike. "For a second there you sounded like the bot."
"Oh, you think I'm the bot," says Buffy. "No, I'm very much Buffy."
"Oh well, are you feeling okay?" ask Spike.
"Yeah," Buffy says. "I think I'm getting a little headache." She puts her hand on her head. Spike walks up to her and she quickly backs away then walks back to him.
"Thanks," she says. "I got it." She heads into the dinning room and up the stairs.
The next day Buffy gathers all the potentials and the scoobies into the living room. Buffy walks into the room and looks around at all the faces. Young, but strong. They are ready to do what they have to do. Save the world like Buffy has done for seven years. She has had the experience, but there is on thing that all the other slayers didn't have her friends. The slayer is supposed to be one in every generation alone facing the forces of darkness. She had a secret weapon. That weapon is friendship. The slayer is not alone.
"I hate this," Buffy begins. "I hate being here. I hate that you have to be here. I hate that there's evil, that is growing, and I hate that I was Chosen to fight it." Buffy bows her head then raises her head back up and looks into the eyes of all the potentials. "I wish...I wished that I wasn't here. Any of us. I wish that this was a nightmare that we all are to wake up from, but it's not. Wishing for things like this is not the answer." She sighs.
"This is about choices. I never had one. I was Chosen. And I accept that," says Buffy. "I'm not asking you to accept anything. I'm asking you to make your own choice. I believe we can beat this evil, not when it comes, not after its army is ready, but now. Tomorrow morning I'm opening the seal. I'm going down into the Hellmouth and I'm going to finish it once and for all." Everyone, even Buffy's friends, become impress by her words.
"So now you're asking yourself, 'What makes this different? What makes us anything more than a bunch of girls getting picked off one by one?' It's true none of you has the power Faith and I have. I think both of us would have to die for a new slayer to be called and we can't even be sure that girl is in this room. That's the rule. So here's the part where you make a choice." Buffy gives a serious expression as she looks at all the potentials. She continues onward with her speech.
Railed up by Buffy's speech everyone takes a deep breath and attempt to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day. It will be a day of hope and good. The day when all the boundaries are thorn down and choices are made to prepare for battle. The big battle. The First has no idea who it's dealing with.
Early morning Robin leads the potentials and the scoobies into the Sunnydale high school. They storm into the front of the school and head to front door.
"Welcome to Sunnydale High," Robin says in a booming voice. "There's no running in the halls, no yelling, and no gum. Apart from that, we have only one rule." He stops and turns. "If they move, kill them."
"Potentials are in the basement. Follow Faith and Spike," says Buffy commanding her troops. "Faith," Buffy calls. Faith comes to her. "Remember the plan?"
"I just hope this works," says Faith. She turns around and follows the potentials into the basement with Spike.
"If you have to go to the bathroom, it's on your left," says Xander. "If you don't have to go to the bathroom, picture what you're about to face. Better to go now." Xander looks at Buffy and Buffy smiles at him.
Robin shows Willow where his office is. Buffy walks over to Willow who is breathing, which is a good thing to do.
"It's right over the seal," says Buffy reminding her.
"I'll start getting you set up," says Kennedy entering Robin's office.
Robin begins to explain the plan of action to the civilians. Anya, Andrew, Xander, Giles, Dawn, and Robin are back up for the potentials and the slayers. If any dead body gets up to the surface they would have to deal with them. They each set up in groups of twos. Xander and Dawn are one team, Robin and Giles are the second team, and Anya and Andrew are the third team.
The four of them gather up into a square of the school hallway. The slayer, the witch, the watcher, and Xander.
"So, what do guys want to do tomorrow?" ask Xander he suggest min- golf. The girls want to go to the mall.
"You're going to save the world and you're worried about the mall?" Giles mumbles.
"I have a major shoe craving," says Buffy.
"Aren't you on the patch?" says Xander.
"Those things never work," says Willow as the three begin to walk away from Giles.
"The world is definitely doomed," says Giles.
"Don't," says Buffy. Xander mumbles. Buffy does not understand. "What?" She removes her hand from his mouth.
"I can't breath," says Xander. He slides his hand down her back.
"Did you just touch my butt?" ask Buffy. Her eyes widen.
