Blue Boy-AU of season six. Continued from previous eps. Ally and Alive, Season premier.
Dawn is in trouble. Will Buffy be able to save her little sister from a menacing boy?
Meanwhile inside the school Dawn runs into the girls restroom. She quickly grabs the garbage can and pushes it onto the door then steps away from the door. Then she looks at the stalls.
In the halls a shadow lurks around. It finds its way to the girl's restrooms. Dawn hears the door being pushed open. She is hiding in one of the stalls and jumps on top of the seat. Taking slow and quiet breaths with her heart racing, Dawn looks towards the floor and she sees someone with a pair of boots. The stall door opens, but Dawn isn't frightened.
"Buffy!" says Dawn as she gets off the seat and hugs her sister.
"Save the hugs and kisses for later," says Buffy as Dawn pulls away. "What happened?"
"I don't know," says Dawn. "We were in chemistry class then I turn around and my lab equipment was on fire. It then started to spread."
"Why didn't you evacuate with the others?" ask Buffy.
"My new lab partner," says Dawn. "He pulled me away. I thought we were going out but he took me someplace else. I didn't want to go with him so I push him away then fire came out of his hands and I throw myself to the floor. I grabbed the fire extinguisher and hosed him down. That's when I came here."
"Where is he now?" ask Buffy. Dawn's eyes widen and she becomes terrified.
"He's right behind you," replies Dawn backing away. Buffy turns around and the boy tosses Buffy like a rag doll. Buffy hits the wall hard cracking it.
Back outside the firemen see that another fire is arising. This fire triggers the sprinklers all around the school.
Inside the boy starts to turn blue and falls to the ground as the water falls on top of him. Buffy gets up, grabs Dawn, and runs out of there. They head for the exit where the firemen waited with blankets to dry them. The firemen gave Buffy a warning for entering the school when they told her not too.
Damon, Sam, and Giles come up to Buffy and Dawn. Buffy looks around, but doesn't see Casandra. She suddenly appears from the crowd with a jacket for Sam.
"Buffy, Dawn are you all right?" ask Damon concern for both of them. The two nodded, but Buffy wonders about Casndra. 'Did she start the fire for her and Dawn to escape or was it just fate?' Damon looks at Buffy then follows her eyes that are looking at Casandra. He immediately guesses what Buffy is thinking about.
Dawn's dad and Ann take Dawn home. Buffy heads home to change then heads over to the magic shop to join the Scooby gang for another case to solve.
"The mystery of the Blue Boy," says Buffy walking into the magic shop and beginning to explain about the boy from the school that started the fire.
"Well, all we know is that this guy likes to play with fire," says Damon.
"And his weakness is water," says Buffy as she sits down on Damon's lap. Damon wraps her arms around her waist.
"What we don't know is what he is doing here," says Willow looking at Tara.
"And what he wants," says Tara.
"Right," says Giles as he cleans his glasses. "We need to find some more information about this...being."
"Right," says Buffy. "Before he brings another school down in flames or tries to." She looks at Giles as he puts his glasses back on and looks at a book in front of his hand.
"Giles, have you ever thought of getting contacts?" Buffy says. Giles stares at the book for a moment then looks at Buffy. "Cause you have nice eyes. Don't you guys think so?" Everyone looks at Buffy. "Okay, it's just a suggestion."
The silence of the magic shop, due to Buffy's suggestion, comes to a halt as someone enters the shop. They all turn to look at the person that enters the shop.
"Sarah," says Willow as she goes up to the girl. "What are you doing here?"
"You left one of your books at the coffee shop," says Sarah in a meek voice. "I thought I'd returned it to you. You said that you work here everyday so I came."
"My what a resemblance," says Giles to Buffy about the girl as she talked to Willow. Damon agrees with Giles that the girl looks a lot like Buffy.
"Except for her hair," says Damon. "Your hair is way bouncer."
"I know," says Buffy nodding her head. "Should I get a face job? That's it plastic surgery." Damon and Giles look at Buffy with concern expressions.
"Oh, how about a boo..." says Damon unable to finish his sentence because of Giles glaring at him. "Never mind."
"You didn't have to go through all the trouble," says Willow heading over to Tara and the gang. She puts the book that Sarah gave her down on the table. It's a book about witchcraft. "You know Buffy and Tara." They say hi. Then Willow introduces Damon and Giles.
"She's new here," says Willow. She then stops and looks at Sarah.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Willow," says Sarah. "It was nice to meet you all." She exits the shop door and the bell rings.
"Oh, my gosh," says Willow turning around to the others. "Why didn't I think of this before?" They all look at Willow confuse.
"She could be the next slayer," says Willow.
"What?" says Buffy. Damon looks at her and Buffy gets off of him. "Will, you can't be sure."
"She's new town and she came around the time you came back," says Willow. She looks at Giles.
"It's possible," says Giles. "We better check her background."
"I don't think she is," says Tara. They look at Tara.
"See, Tara is with me," says Buffy heading to Tara's side.
"She can't be a slayer," says Tara.
"Why not?" ask both Giles and Willow. They look at each other.
"I don't know," she says and shrugs. "It's just a feeling I guess."
"Buffy why were you against me?" ask Willow. "Do know you something?" Buffy looks at Damon then at Willow.
"Yeah, I have hunch," says Buffy.
That night the gang decides to head out to some party zones in an attempt to find this new threat. They head for the Bronze and a band is playing live tonight. It's a blonde girl with black extensions by the name of Shakira.
"Shakira," says Buffy reading the flyer as they enter the club. "Must be a star name like Madonna." On the stage the band gets set up to play. The Scoobies spread out to see if they could find blue boy. (Shakira-The One)
The lead singer walks up to the front of the stage carrying a guitar and pulls the microphone down. She then gives a signal for her band to start playing. Tara and Willow find themselves at the bar searching for Damon and Buffy.
"Anything?" ask Willow to Tara. She nods. The two look at the dance floor. Damon and Buffy find themselves there. Damon looks at the girl singing on stage then at Buffy.
"Hey, you wanna dance?" ask Damon.
"Damon I'm working," says Buffy as Damon takes Buffy's hands.
"Just for while," says Damon trying to convince her with his innocent face.
"All right," says Buffy. The two begin to dance to the song. They look at each other and Buffy smiles. She lays her head on his chest and they dance for a while.
Meanwhile Spike enters the Bronze and sees a blonde sitting at the bar. Thinking that it is Buffy he grabs the girl from behind. To his surprise the girl smacks him on the face and flips him over. People begin to stare at Spike. As Spike gets up he hits another guy by mistake. That someone gets really angry that he begins to turn blue.
Suddenly fireballs appear in his hands. Spike quickly jumps on the guy. The fire is change paths and hits the roof, which catches on fire. From the dance floor Buffy sees the fire and heads to it. She pushes her way through the crowd to find Spike fighting with the blue boy.
"All right you two," says Buffy. "Take it outside." The blue boy recognizes Buffy. He then tosses Spike across the room scaring the band.
"Sorry," says Spike to the lead singer as he gets up. Shakira stops playing and looks at Spike. "There's always a brawl wherever I go."
"This town I was told was suppose to be peaceful," says Shakira to Spike.
"Well, you heard wrong," says Spike. He looks up at Shakira. "What ya doing after your gig?" Shakira laughs a bit.
"Not going out with you," says Shakira. Spike glares at her then walks off.
Then the blue boys' eyes begin to change colors and Buffy has no idea what to expect. He pulls his arm out to hit Buffy, but Buffy blocks it.
"You're not getting me twice," says Buffy twisting his arm around. The blue boy then grabs Buffy's neck from the back and tosses her across the room.
"Hey," yells Damon to the blue boy. He taps him on the shoulder and the blue boy turns around. Damon then punches him out. From the bar his brother watches in shock at his little brothers' strength and bravery. Buffy gets up and walks over to the blue boy. She lifts him up.
"All right, lets take the trash out," says Buffy. Damon helps Buffy take the blue boy outside and Spike follows them.
Inside the Bronze Tara's phone rings, as they were about to head out. She picks it up and it's Giles.
"The blue boy," says Giles. "It's a being from another dimension. It chooses its targets and kills its victims. He's called a Smurf."
"A Smurf," says Tara. "But I thought they were supposed to be nice and small."
"That's an old tale for little children," says Giles. "I think its target is Dawn. Tell Buffy. I'm on my way to her house right now." Tara and Willow hurry outside to warn Buffy.
Dawn is in trouble. Will Buffy be able to save her little sister from a menacing boy?
