Chapter 7
(The last and final Chapter of Switched. Hope you like it. Dialogues
straight from the episode Chosen belong to Joss Wedon. Thanks. Girls who
like Xander just imagine you're me. And girls who like Faith remember the
duster. Enjoy the show. Oh and review please.)
The three best friends, for seven years, walk down the hallway like little children walking to the park hand in hand. They walk these halls once more and perhaps for the last time once again. Willow releases Buffy's hand as she heads into the principal's office. Xander and Buffy walk down the hall then they turn to each other.
"So, this is it," says Xander holding Buffy's hand close to his heart. Buffy sighs.
"Everything is going to be all right," says Buffy. "You'll see." Buffy gives a smile. She then begins to walk off. Xander pulls her back to him. He kisses her one more time and one last time. Buffy's eyes widen as he releases her. She bites her lower lip and walks towards the basement.
"Hey," Xander calls to Buffy. She turns around. "Can I have your number?" Xander gives a grin and Buffy smiles back at him. Buffy nods her head and enters the basement. She goes down the stairs and meets up with the potentials, Faith and Spike.
"You first B," says Faith. Buffy glares at Faith then cuts herself. She then passes the knife around for the others. They all pour their blood onto the seal and it began to open. Buffy leads the group in and down into the Hellmouth.
Just above the seal Willow began her magic. Kennedy is there with her. She is sitting across from Willow.
"Magic time..." says Willow to Kennedy. "Ready to kill me."
"I think I'm starting to get ready," replies Kennedy.
"Brace yourself," says Willow taking grasp of the Scythe.
Back down in the Hellmouth the potentials follow Buffy into a cavern where they see millions of ubervampires. Their eyes widen and they all begin to back off from the cliff.
"I'm not worried," says Buffy. She repeats this line a couple times. Spike, standing next to her, looks at her then turns his head to look at the vampires.
"I'm not worried. As long as Willow can work her spell before they..." Suddenly the cavern grows quiet as the ubervamps notice their attackers. They turn, look up and begin to run towards them. "... see us."
"Now are you worry," says Faith.
"Come on Willow," says Buffy. "Don't fail me now."
The ubies begin to climb up the cliff towards them all. The potentials with weapons are still not ready to take them. They don't obtain the confidence.
Back in the principal's office. Willow is doing her thing to bring the Scythe's power into all the slayers of the world.
"Oh...My...Goddess..." says Willow as her hair turns as white as snow and power surrounds her. Then comes a flashback to the last part of Buffy's speech.
"What if all you have that power?" says Buffy. "Now. All of you. In every generation one Slayer is born because a bunch of guys that died thousands of years ago made up that rule. They were powerful men." She looks at Willow.
"This woman here is more powerful than all of them combined," Buffy says. " So I say we change the rules. I say that my power should be our power. Tomorrow, Willow will use the essence of the Scythe, that contains the energy and history of so many slayers, to change our destiny."
"From now on, every girl in the world who might be a slayer, will be a slayer. Every girl, who could have the power, will have the power, who can stand up, will stand up. Every one of you and girls we've never known, and generations to come..." All the girls in the world begin to feel the power inside of them. "...they will have the strength they never dreamed of, and more than that, they will have each other."
"Slayers. Everyone of us. Make your choice. Are you ready to be strong?"
The potentials felt the power coming from within them. The strength, the courage and the attitude to kick some uber vampire butt. They all started to fight the vampires as they came by the hundreds.
"These guys are dust," says Vi.
Faith and Buffy are fighting hard, but they had a plan of their own. The two look at each other and concentrate. They are trying to return to their home. At the same time they wish that they were their true selves again. But nothing happen.
Buffy had to block one of the vampires with her hand. Then from a distance Kennedy throws the Scythe to Buffy. She catches it and begins to stake the ubies with the Scythe.
"I can get use to this," says Kennedy.
"I thought you said it would work," yells Faith from a distance to Buffy.
"I did," replies Buffy swinging the Scythe around and hitting the vampires off the cliff. "I don't know what went wrong?"
"We are so in trouble," says Faith. "You're going to get stabbed."
"Thanks for reminding me," says Buffy. The two continue to fight the ubies as best they could. They do remember their moves on this day.
As Spike punches out another uber vamp below into the cavern, he then suddenly staggers back. He feels... something. He touches the amulet and it burns his hand.
"Buffy! Whatever this thing does, I think its..." He then howls in pain, his head lurching back. Buffy sees Spike in pain and she looks at the vampires. She begins to tell the potentials to drive the ubies to the cliff. Buffy then gets this feeling and quickly turns around to stop a sword from going into her gut. She drops the Scythe and stops the sword with her bare hands.
Buffy's face changes from fear into courage. She pushes the sword against the uber vamp and pushes him to the edge. The same happens with Faith. She twirls her weapon and starts killing the uber vamps. The fight goes on as Spike's trinket starts blowing some ubies down.
Elsewhere two girls reappear in a familiar room. The look all around the room then at each other.
"You're you," they both say to each other.
"This is great," says Kat to Tammy. "It worked." The two look at the TV, which is on playing the Episode 'Chosen'.
"Spike you've done enough," says Buffy.
"No, I gotta do this," says Spike.
"Thank God I didn't have touch his hand and get burnt," say Kat relief that she is not Buffy anymore. Tammy smiles at her friend.
"I'm going to miss being Faith," says Tammy. "It was fun."
"Now that everything is back to normal," says Kat. "We can get on with our lives." Kat gets up from the bed with her head down and a sadden expression.
"You miss Xander," ask Tammy. Kat nods to her friend. "Well. When you get all the DVD's you can watch him whenever you want." Kat gives a smile.
They sit back on the bed and begin to watch the rest of the episode. Buffy is jumping over the buildings trying to catch the bus. Kat nods her head,
"I could have never pulled that off," says Kat. She lays her head on the pillow and finds a piece of paper. Kat pulls it out. "What's this?"
"I don't know who was in my room but whoever it was is going to get their ass wup," says Tammy. "What dose it say?"
"Oh my gosh," says Kat as she reads the note to herself. Her eyes widen and she hands the paper to Tammy.
"No way," says Tammy looking at Kat. "They couldn't have. Could they." They both sat on the bed in bewilderment as Robin put the breaks to stop the bus with the scoobies and potentials. Buffy jumps off from the roof of the bus. Dawn comes for the back door of the bus. Everyone heads out to look at what is left of Sunnydale.
Wood surprises Faith and Tammy laughs. They join everyone else looking toward where they came from. They begin to talk about the slayers all around the world.
"I can feel them," says Willow. Xander walks up to Buffy then he looks at Faith.
"I think he's looking for you Kat," says Tammy when she sees Xander looking at Buffy. He knew it wasn't Kat anymore but he wondered if Buffy knew about it. If she knew where she was.
"The first real nice guy that gets a crush on me and he's fiction," says Kat sighing.
"Don't worry Kat," says Tammy. "We'll get you therapy." Kat glares at her. Tammy smiles and looks at the TV. Buffy and Faith kind of get close to the camera. Kat looks at Tammy confuse.
"Hey, you guys thanks for the help," says Buffy.
"Yeah, we really appreciate you guys taking our roles for a while," says Faith. "Nice covers Tammy." Faith says this sarcastically.
"Oh, Kat that was sweet what you did for Xander," says Buffy. "Couldn't have done it better myself. Well, I did. Sort of."
"Don't forget us," says Faith. "And get more pictures of me Tammy." Tammy laughs.
"Bye for now," says Buffy. The TV turns dark then the credits appear.
"That was weird," says Kat. Tammy reaches for a cup that she usually leaves on her nightstand. When she reaches for it an envelope falls to the ground. She picks it up and shows what is inside to Kat.
"How?" ask Tammy to herself. Tammy held in her hands pictures of themselves that in a couple seconds transform into Buffy and Faith. Kat grabs the picture and looks at Tammy. The strangeness of it all. They were in their bodies and vice versa.
"We could never tell this to anybody," says Kat.
"Why not," ask Tammy. "Proof is right here."
"Tammy no one would believe us," says Kat.
"Yeah, you're right," says Tammy.
"Although we could sell the picture on E-bay," says Kat with smile.
"Photocopy first," they both say. "Right."
The two Buffy fans had an awesome adventure and Buffy and Faith had some time to relaxed in the world of reality. This could so be a movie. Oh wait a minute they've already done this a couple times. Oh, well. It's just a thought. People don't forget to dream always. Whether it is in the fiction world of Buffy or the real world of your life. Reality is just between those two. Get ready to find it. Bye!
The three best friends, for seven years, walk down the hallway like little children walking to the park hand in hand. They walk these halls once more and perhaps for the last time once again.
