Xander groaned as the sunlight invaded his eyes.
Grumbling about how the next great invention should be a Sun with a snooze button he sat up.
Just as Faith walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing the shocked look on her face Xander responded with one of his undeniably witty responses. "ummm... Hi Faith."
His smile dropped when he saw her turn green before rushing back into the bathroom. "H-hey Faith, You okay?" he asked as he listened to her empty her stomach.
It was several minutes later that the slayer opened the door and stepped out. "Xan? You're..." She paused as she searched for the right word. "Dead." She stated bluntly as Xander nodded.
"Yup, dead, died and deceased, but not decomposing." Xander said with a smile as he tried to figure out how to explain this to the dark slayer.
"Faith I..." he started when her eyes rolled back and the young slayer collapsed.
Looking at the unconscious Faith Xander sighed in frustration. Does my life have to be difficult?Xander thought bitterly as he forced himself to his feet. "Come on Faith, let's get you somewhere more comfortable." He groaned as he lifted her back onto the bed.

It was three hours later that Xander and Faith where walking down the street as Xander tried to explain his counterpart's bad mood.
"All I'm saying, Faith, is that it's understandable that Alpha's upset today." He tried as the girl shook her head.
"Listen Boytoy, I didn't mean to kill him. What else does he want from me?" she growled in frustration as she sent a can clattering down the street with a kick.
Xander sighed as he tried to keep the irate Spirit under control. "Well an apology would be a good start, I mean you DID shove a hunk of wood through his chest." Xander explained as the two walked into the gun shop.
The two walked in and were promptly greeted by a smiling man "Hi, I'm Sunny, if there's anything you need I'll be glad to help you anyway I can." Sunny said the standard line before he managed to place the kid's face. "Kid? You must be here for your guns."
Xander nodded as Sunny pulled the three weapons from the safe and rung them up. "That's three thousand fifteen..." he paused as he finally saw Faith.
"Umm... Sunny are you okay?" Xander asked as he looked between the two other people in the store.
"Xan, gun boy over there is a demon."

Mr. Trick entered the darkened office and tried to find a way to break the news to his boss. "Sir, we may have a problem."
Looking up from the paper Richard Wilkens the third watched the vampire carefully for a second. "What problem would that be? The fact Mr. Finch was searching for the slayers when he was killed last night, the fact that some of Balthazar's minions showed up last night or the fact that something calling himself Death is running around My Town?" he said as the dark vampire looked even more nervous then before.
Steeling himself Mr. Trick took an unneeded breath before responding. "One of our spies saw the dark slayer and the Death guy walking out of Willy's last night and followed them back to the slayer's motel."
He was more then a little startled when the mayor started to laugh. "This is just perfect, a hundred years of work is coming to an end and there's a chance someone like him shows up just as the final preparations for my ascension begin?" he said as he chuckled again. "Mister Trick, tonight I want you to go and find this... Mr. Death and offer him a position. If he agrees have him deal with Balthazar's minions while I finish up the ceremony starting my hundred days of invincibility." He said with barely contained glee. "And if he doesn't I want you to leave the body in Willy's."
Nodding to his boss the dark Vampire left to get ready for the night.
