Ok, I'm posting the last chapter to this story right now thanks to Claddagh Ring, who made me crack up laughing when I read her review. Thanks for that Clauddgh. Thank you to everyone else who reviewed. I didn't think it was going to make people laugh this much! Enjoy!
"There's nobody else in here, is there?" Angel asked. They all looked behind them, nobody. They turned back in relief and the guy in the scary costume ran by.
"Alright, how do you explain this?" Buffy asked.
"Easy. The death of the janitor signifies the last of the obvious suspects, just like in the cold classic, "The Last Of the Obvious Suspects"," Xander concluded.
"That would mean...," Cordelia started.
"Dun, dun, dunnnn!" Gunn said.
"The killer is one of us,." Angel finished.
"Like in, "The Killer Is One Of Us"," Xander offered.
"Dun, dun, dunnnn!" Gunn said again.
"Enough Already!" Buffy snapped. Xander and Angel eyed her suspiciously.
"What, does he upset you?" Xander asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Buffy replied.
"Upset you enough to kill?" Angel asked.
"Dun, dun dunnnn!" Gunn said.
"Ok, I think we need to face it everybody. One of us, is a crazy, psychopathic, murderer. The question is, which one of us is it?" Angel said. Cordelia gave the evil eye to Angel, Xander and Buffy looked at each other suspiciously, and Wesley looked at Gunn funnily.
"Look, none of us is the killer. There has to be somebody else in here, and there has to be another way out.. Someone has to find a way out," Buffy said.
"Fine. I'll do it, I'm the oldest," Gunn replied.
"Actually, I'm the oldest," Wesley retorted.
"Yeah, but I've lived the longest," Gunn said as Wesley rolled his eyes.
"Ok, you can be the one," Wesley said.
"Alright, so you know, what just happened here? Gunn asked.
"You get to stay out here all by yourself," Angel smiled.
"Oh good," Gunn replied.
"Good luck."
"Thanks man," Gunn said as everyone patted him on the back and went inside the classroom and shut the door. Gunn suddenly turned around and saw a brunette girl. They both screamed.
"Excuse me!" she said. Gunn yelled.
"Killer, killer, you're the killer, and I know you're going to tell me that you're not the killer because you're beautiful and you think I'm going to believe you but I'm not. It's just like in that movie, "Killer, Killer, You're the Killer". And I know you're going to tell me that..." Gunn said.
"I'm no the killer," she said, reassuringly.
"Oh good," Gunn said, grabbing her pushing her up against the locker and kissing her neck.
"You see, um, I'm a new student here and I was in study hall and I got locked in. I've been so frightened, you are very friendly aren't you?" she asked. Gunn stopped kissing her and put her down.
"Friendly enough to keep you safe from the bad, bad killer man. Hi, Charles Gunn. And you are?" Gunn asked, putting out a hand for her to shake.
"Winifred Burkle," Winifred replied.
"Such a beautiful name, can I call you Fred?" Gunn asked.
"Everyone does," Fred replied. Everyone in the classroom looked out at Gunn and Fred.
"She doesn't look like the killer type to me," Wesley commented.
"Me neither. I am however less sure about Gunn," Angel replied.
"Don't assume. It's always the one you think can't be the killer," Xander said. They all walked out.
"You can hang with us Fred," Angel said.
"Yeah, as long as we all hang out together, we'll all be safe," Buffy said. A phone rang and Fred screamed. Cordelia looked at her and screamed.
"I'm sorry, you..." Fred said.
"Yes girl," Cordelia said snapping her fingers. "I am the screamer around here." Xander went to answer the phone.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Do you like scary movies? What's your favorite?" The guy on the phone asked.
"Ooo, ok! Well I like that one with the hotty, hot, hot from Muffy the Vampire Slayer," Xander said.
"Emma Caulfield?" Buffy asked.
"Duh!" Xander replied.
"Guys, we can use the phone to help us," Angel said.
"That's a great idea because when we find out who this killer is," Gunn said, taking the phone from Xander and pulling it out from the phone booth. "We can hit 'em with this........Dun, dun dunnnnn!" Gunn said as the phone started ringing.
"Hello? Oh hey...it's the killer! Uh huh! Uh huh!" Gunn said, making a movement with hand to say that he talks too much. "Yeah...alright...buh bye! Whew, on and on."
"Well, what did he say? Was he mad?" Angel asked.
"He said what all killers say, he wants to come here, he wants to kill us, he wants us to wait right here," Gunn said casually. Everyone ran but Gunn came back to put the phone back and check for change and then ran. They all made there way into the library.
"You know I don't trust this Winifred Burkle anymore than I can throw her," Buffy said.
"I know. We don't know anything about her do we?" Cordelia responded. Meanwhile Wesley and Gunn were checking out the place.
"When did this school get a library?" Gunn asked.
"Everyday is a new adventure isn't it?" Wesley asked.
"Alright everybody, as much as this goes against my horror movie instincts, I think we should split up, that way the killer can't get to us all at once," Xander said. Angel and Fred walked off together.
"You know I don't understand why anyone would do this to us? I mean, we're good kids. Why? For what reason?" Angel asked. Buffy walked past them and saw them together.
"Hey, we're all scared, but you know what, don't worry. We'll get out of this," Fred said, kissing Angel on the cheek. Angel blushed. Fred looked around and fifteen books fell on her. She screamed as the killer ran away.
"Fred!! Oh, I'll save you!!" Gunn said, rushing over to her.
"It's too late. But I think I know who the killer is," Fred said.
"Save your breath Fred. There'll be plenty of time for that later," Gunn said.
"Charles, I'm dying."
"Oh, right ok. Maybe you should tell me now."
"I caught a glimpse of the killer just before the books hit me. The killer is..." Gunn looked up and saw books falling on top of him too. Angel and Wesley arrived to find Gunn and Fred dead.
"Gunn!" Wesley said, pointing to him. "Fred! Gunn, oh, he was my friend, my roommate. I didn't really know her. He paid half the rent. Now I can't afford to live in my apartment anymore. Wait, if I can't afford to live in my apartment anymore, then I don't want to live!" Wesley panicked, running to the window. Cordelia ran after him.
"Wait!! Angel is still your roommate. Together you can make the rent!" Cordelia exclaimed.
"Oh yeah. Ok, let's go back inside now. Thanks," Wesley said as the killer pushed them both out the window. Xander, Angel, and Buffy came running.
"Ok, I know I was wrong before, but I really, really think this guy's the killer," Xander said.
"Why are you doing this to us?" Angel yelled. The killer walked up to Angel and Buffy and put their hands together. Xander walked up to the killer and took his mask off revealing... Xander. Xander was the killer!
"Xander?" Angel exclaimed. Suddenly, Xander woke up in detention. "Xander!"
"Angel," Xander said, relieved.
"You fell asleep. Giles is looking at you like he's going to kill you," Angel said. Mr. Giles was glaring daggers at Xander, tapping his fingers on the desk.
"No, he's not the killer. I am," Xander said.
"What?" Angel asked, confused.
"Mr. Giles, you can let everyone else go. It's not their fault we're in detention. It's mine," Xander said.
"How do you figure that?" Mr. Giles asked.
"Well, Angel and Buffy aren't together anymore," Xander replied as Cordelia came up and put her arm around his waist.
"Yes, I know. I too read Teen Beat, Mr. Harris," Mr. Giles said.
"And I guess I've been taking it pretty hard and I'm sorry I disrupted the class and killed everyone, but I think I know why I did it," Xander concluded with a smile.
"Prey tell," Mr. Giles said.
"You guys were so good together and you split up for the worst reason ever. I kinda felt like it was my fault since I couldn't fix it."
"You're not responsible for this," Angel said.
"What do you mean?" Xander asked.
"This isn't your fault," Buffy replied.
"Something bad happened Mr. Harris, but for the very first time you're not responsible," Mr. Giles said.
"How come I feel so bad?" Xander asked.
"Because you're a troubled young man. I recognize that from the movie, "A Troubled Young Man"...You may all go. It's obvious that you've suffered enough," Mr. Giles said. Everyone got up and started to leave the classroom. Xander looked over at Buffy and Angel as they left separately and sighed. Cordelia took his hand and they walked out together. Mr. Giles shut the lights off and closed the door.
Just then, eerie music played and the guy in the scary costume ran by and shut the lights off and walked out of the door.
The End....or is it??
