Out-of-Reality: Glad you liked how I brought Oz in and yeah, I hated the mayor too!

Spike'sRedQueen: Thanks for actually reviewing! Glad you're enjoying it, hope this doesn't disappoint too much.

Oh I realise I forgot to dedicate the last chapter....oops! Um, the last chapter was dedicated to Nic (lemon) who has somehow motivated me to actually keep writing all this, and cos she rocks.
This chapter is dedicated to Fuzz again cos it was her musicianship exam the day i wrote this so she deserves something good. And also cos she's my Buffy. And that's all from me.

STORY STARTS HERE

Buffy's POV
Waiting is never fun. NEVER. How can anyone enjoy the fear and the uncertainty? 'Life's a gamble'....I know that. 'All the choices you make have consequences' yadda yadda. None of that crap has any meaning right now. I don't want to gamble, I don't want to face any consequences.... I just want her to wake up. Is that too much to ask? No, really, is it? Is there anything I can do to make it an easier request???? Sell my soul? Sell my car? (not that I have one) Sell my mother's car?
She's a good girl, she really is, she doesn't deserve this. She deserves so much more. She deserves LIFE and happiness and love and everything the world can offer her. She's been through hell, so please, if someone's up there watching over, let her live. I'll do anything. Just give me another chance to get to know her, to look after her, to give her a life outside of misery.

That whole bad girl thing, I don't buy it. It's not who she really is. I know that and the world should have a chance to know that too. So please, I wont ask for anything ever again if you do this one thing for me. Did I mention I'd sell mum's car???
(End POV)

Buffy sat next to the hospital bed holding Faith's hand. As she'd become accustomed too over the past few days, she started to have a conversation with Faith....well actually AT Faith. One sided conversations weren't exactly the most fun ever, but it made Buffy feel a little less awkward, after all, she was usually the one IN the hospital bed, not the other way around.
"Do you remember that vamp a few weeks back that couldn't get his head around the whole two Slayers thing?" Buffy waited a moment before continuing, as if she expected a response of some kind from Faith.
But there was no response, there never was.
"Yeah, he obviously hadn't been around for long enough cos he "hadn't received the memo" as you said." Buffy smiled a little as she remembered that night.

FLASHBACK

"So anyway, I thought he was the most amazing man ever. He was like a god to me. So every day for three weeks I walked like 5 kilometers out of my way, home from school just so I could follow him," Faith said as her and Buffy walked through the cemetery one night. As she continued her story, Faith stood up on a park bench so she could act it out a little. "One day I ran up to him and tugged on his sleeve. He turned around and I flung my arms around him and pledged my undying love for him," Faith raised her voice and began to shout her pledge, "George, I LOVE YOU!" She jumped back down and knelt in front of Buffy, "I want to marry you and play dolls with you!" She stood back up. "He told me to piss off, (fake sniffs) broke me heart he did. I was never the same woman after George."
"Play dolls? How old were you??" Buffy asked.
"6"
"6?!" Buffy laughed.
"I was a very mature 6 year old, I'll have you know. I had all my plans for the future laid out."

"What? You were gonna marry George and play Barbies for the rest of your lives?"

"No...........we were gonna play dolls!"

Buffy and Faith began to laugh, but their fun was abruptly stopped by a vamp that appeared from a grave. The vamp lashed out at Buffy who dodged it and then returned with a kick to his face.
"Slayer...." The vampire growled.
"Yeah?" Buffy asked.
"I'm gonna get you Slayer...."

"Who? Me?" Faith said as she walked up. "Did someone mention me?" She asked Buffy innocently.
"This guy here reckons he's 'gonna get the slayer'." Buffy replied.
"Really? Me or you?"

"Dunno....he hasn't really specified yet." Buffy said before turning to the Vamp who was looking at them confused. "I'm sorry, we're a little confused. Are you trying to kill me or her?"
The vampire shook his head to try to shift the confusion. "I get this, you're playing mind games with me. Nice try, but it won't work. I'm after the slayer."

" Well you got them" Faith said.
"Them?? What do you mean? There is only one slayer."
"Sorry George, looks like you haven't received the memo," Faith said.
"memo?"
"Yeah, there's two slayers in this town," Buffy said.
"Two? That's not possible." The vampire scrambled to his feet and began to run away scared. Unfortunately for him though, he was trying to outrun the two fastest girls around. The vampire sprinted through the trees, looking back over his shoulder occasionally to check he wasn't being followed. "You're not leaving so soon are you George?" Faith said as she popped up in front of him.
"Yeah, Faith has big marital plans for you George?" Buffy said walking up.
"Marital?"

"But, you broke my heart, so I guess I'll have to stake yours." Faith drove the piece of wood through her opponent's heart and watched him burst into dust. The two girls then collapsed on the floor in laughter.
END FLASHBACK

"Oh dear," Buffy said laughing, "that was one confused vamp!" She stopped laughing as she looked over at Faith emotionless face. She wanted nothing more than to see Faith laughing too. The story wasn't the same when she couldn't share it with anyone.
"So, did you ever get over George? You never got to tell me?" Buffy asked Faith as she looked out the window and began to daydream a little. "One day we should look him up and go meet him. So he can take a good look at you and see what he missed out on..."
"Talking to yourself again B? You know, it's the first sign of madness?" a voice croaked from the bed.

A/N: Well, there you go..... I know much didn't actually happen, but I thought it'd be fun to get a little idea of the Buffy/Faith friendship. Anyway., you know the rule: review if you want more. Infact, review if you don't want more too. JUST REVIEW. No reviews....no new chapter.
