Forgiveness is sweet, but revenge is sweeter (7)

'Faith! Please, you have to let it go!' Buffy tried to explain to Faith while they were getting ready for school,

'Buffy! You just don't get it!' Faith says frustrated,

'Yes I do!'

'No B you don't, you forgive them for what they did, I cant believe that but I aint I am gonna make him pay for what he did to me Buffy'

'Faith I understand, you're hurting but you can't do this, it isn't fare'

'Oh but making a dare about who could get us into bed first was fare, is that what you're saying B?'

'Of course not, but…'

'But nothing Buffy, I'm doing this and you can't stop me' Faith storms out their room and down stairs,

'Faith!' Buffy calls after her

Faith heads for the car and jumps in, its her turn to drive so she turns the engine on,

'Hurry up B!!' Buffy comes out the door and gets in the car she stares at Faith,

'Don't start Buffy' is all Faith needed to say to make Buffy look away.

They arrive at school just as the crowds are heading to their seats, the game was about to begin, Buffy looks at Faith worried,

'Are you sure you want to do this Faith?' she asks stopping her from walking by taking her arm

'Yeh B, I have to do this' Faith says, and carries on walking, Buffy watches her and follows.

'Ahh yeh!!!!!!' the crowds yell for Sunnydale High School, they were up 5-2 and they were only in part one of the game, Faith gets up from her seat when she sees the teams going into the changes room to plan their next game strategy, Buffy looks at her seriously Faith looks back and nods, Buffy just frowns slightly showing her that she still doesn't like what Faith is about to do.

Faith walks off down to the enemies' team changing rooms,

'Where's she going?' asks Willow watching Faith leave Buffy looks at her

'Uh I dunno I'll go see' Buffy leaves after Faith while the rest of the gang watch in confusion.

Faith reaches the chaning rooms and hears the couch yelling at his team, she knocks on the door and walks in without waiting for an answer,

'Hey guys' she says with a flirty grin on her face,

'What do you want?' the couch moans at Faith, the rest of the team are just staring at her,

'Mmm' she says with a grin, 'Well I figured the boys would know' she winks at the team and they grin at her knowing what she means, 'But since you're not into that then here's the deal…' the boys grins leaves their faces as she changes the subject,

'Now I figure you need help to beat SunnyD…' she begins,

'Hey! We can beat that team without your help' the couch yells, Faith smiles,

'Yeh sure you can, that why you're down by 3 points'

Buffy pokes her head through the door to listen to Faith she doesn't know what exactly Faith was planning but she knew it had something to do with making Sunnydale lose the game,

'Now, here's the deal ok, I know Sunnydale's game plan'

'Why would you tell us it they're your team' one of the boys point out, Faith' face scrunches up in disgust,

'Yeh and what's your point like I care if they're my team, I want them to lose…'

'Why?' another boy interrupts her,

'Because I do ok! God I am offering you an easy win here you gunna take it or not?' she folds her arms

The couch smiles at his team then to her,

'We're game' she smiles at his answer and sits down on the bench on leg over each side, the guys smile at her as she tells them Sunnydale's game plan.

Buffy walks out of the changing rooms,

'I cant believe she is doing this' she walks past Sunnydale teams changing rooms and stops as she hears Spike telling the guys the same game plan Faith just told the enemy team.

She looks at the door and slowly opens it making sure all the guys are dressed, she opens it wide and all the guys look at her,

'Buffy?' Spike says looking at her wondering why she is in the boys changing rooms,

She smiles slightly, but has worry in her eyes, Spike notices her worrying face and walks over to her,

'What's wrong?' he asks holding her arms, she pulls away looking at him seriously, she knows how important this game is for him and the school,

'Its Faith…' she says plainly,

'What happened? What'd she do?' he asks,

'She knows…' she takes a breath she don't want to cause any trouble for her sister or her friends but she had to tell him, 'She knows your game plan, s..she's telling the other team' tears appear in her eyes, she cant believe her sister was doing ruining the schools chance of being towns best football team for a personal problem.

Spike's face turns angry,

'That bitch' Buffy looks at him with anger in her eyes,

'Spike!, this is your fault, you hurt her' a tear falls from her eyes, Spike looks guilty he knows she's right,

'Buffy, I'm sorry about that but she is destroying our chances to be the best football team in Sunnydale' he explains,

'I know, that's why I told you, the school shouldn't suffer just cause you were a jerk' she turns round and walks out slamming the door behind her.

Spike takes a breath and turns to his team,

'Ok new plan'

Buffy walks back to her seat,

'Buffy are you ok?' Angel asks concerned, Buffy looks at him in disgust she can't pretend any more,

'Stay away from me Angel' she says bitterly and sits next to Willow.

Angel looks confused and follows her to her seat,

'Buffy what's wrong?' he asks sitting down next to her, Buffy rolls her eyes at him,

'Why don't you ask Spike that, I'm sure he'll be able to think of something' she says angrily, Angel eyes widen as he realises what she was saying,

'Buffy, I'm sorry, i..i didn't want to hurt you' Buffy sniggers,

'Well you did a good job with that… oh wait you didn't' she says mockingly, 'Just go'

Angel stands up and walks down to the guys changing rooms, when he gets there Faith is just walking out of the enemies teams changing rooms,

'Faith' he says cautiously,

'What!?' she asks meanly,

'I…me and Spike… we… we didn't mean to hurt you and Buffy… we… we weren't thinking, but we stopped because we knew it would hurt you' he says talking about both of them,

'Whatever Angel, I've heard it' she says pushing passed him,

'Faith…' she slowly turns round kissing her teeth in annoyance, 'Look after Buffy, I… I didn't mean to hurt her' he hangs his head and a tear falls from his eye, Faith's face softens,

'You… you mean that… don't you?' she asks walking slowly towards him,

'Yes, I… I care about her… I hate that I hurt her' he says lifting his head up to see Faith know standing right up close to him, she looks him in the eyes tears forms in her eyes,

'Angel' she says softly, ' Get over it!' her anger returns as she thinks about everything that he and Spike did to her and her sister, she spins round and storms off in disgust.

The teams return to the field to play the final round of the game, Spike looks up at Buffy who looks really pissed off, he thinks about what she said and more guilt fills him, he turns back to his team to make sure their ready he sees Gunn staring at Sarah and hits him on the shoulder,

'Hey man, come on win this and I'm sure she'll give you something in return' a cheeky grin across his face, but after a few second it disappears,

'Sure Spike' Gunn says shaking his head.

The final buzzer goes to tell the people that the game was over Sunnydale had lost and they were heading back to the changing rooms as the other team stays on the field to receive their medals, Faith face has slight guilt on it but overall is happy, Buffy looks at her, Faith notices her staring at her and turns to face her,

'Oh well, that's life B cant always win' she gets up out her seat and heads for the car, Buffy looks at her in disgust first time in her life has she truly hated her sister for her actions.
