Chapter 9 I'm Not Buffy, Really. Elizabeth is caught red handed and must tell the truth to her mom. In England Giles doesn't notice that Glory is stealing his money from under his nose.
'Elizabeth' counts her money for the tickets she is going to buy tonight. Willow and Tara are taking her to buy them. It's two. One for her and one for her mom.
"Honey, will you..." Joyce says entering her room and sees her daughter putting a lot of money into her purse. "Buffy where did you get all that money?"
"Mom," says 'Elizabeth' as she turns around. "I thought you went to work." Joyce walks over to 'Elizabeth' and takes the money from her hand. 'Elizabeth's' purse falls to the ground and all of her contents fall out of it. They both go to the ground to get the contents but 'Elizabeth' was not fast enough and her mother found her ID.
At first she doesn't say anything then she looks at Elizabeth stun. She looks at the ID, which says Elizabeth Giles with the resident of London, England.
"Mom," says Elizabeth in an innocent voice. Joyce opens her mouth and nothing comes out of it. She stands up and puts the money and ID on her dresser then leaves the room. Elizabeth grabs her ID and goes after her mother.
Joyce runs down the stairs then turns her head around and sees Elizabeth at the top of the stairs.
"Mom, it's really me. Elizabeth." Elizabeth comes down the stairs slowly.
"How did you?" Joyce puts her hand on her head then walks over to the living room and sits down.
"At the University," says Elizabeth slowly walking over to living room. "I met Buffy there." Joyce looks up at her daughter then looks down at her feet. "She invited me over and I saw your picture. That's when we figured it out." Joyce signals her daughter to sit down. Elizabeth sits and gets a hug from her mom.
"I wanted to know what you were like and Buffy wanted to know dad," says Elizabeth.
"Buffy is in England?"
"Yeah."
"So the tickets were..."
"For you and me."
"Me go to England," says Joyce as she gets up. Elizabeth gets up too.
"Dad's getting married," says Elizabeth.
"Oh," says Joyce a little hurt in her tone. She walks away from Elizabeth then turns back to Elizabeth. "You father knows what he's doing. As much as I don't want to give you up your father and I made decision. You belong with your father and Buffy belongs to me."
"It's not fair," says Elizabeth.
"I know sweet heart," says Joyce as Elizabeth walks up to her. Joyce puts her arm over her shoulder and they walk to the kitchen. "I got the better half of the scheme you girls devised."
"Why would you say that?" ask Elizabeth sitting on one of the stools in the kitchen. Joyce goes over to the frig and pulls out milk. From the cupboards she takes out two mugs. Then she heads over to the pantry and pulls out to bags of coco. Elizabeth smiles.
"Buffy is a lot like me," says Joyce. "I wouldn't be surprise if he want to disown her."
"Really," says Elizabeth. "Buffy can be a big pain I guess. I don't think dad would do that." Joyce boils some milk and pulls out the bag of marshmallows. They start eating them.
"Your father loves you too much to do that," says Joyce. "It seems to be the only thing he loves." Elizabeth senses her mother feel a little sad by her last words.
England:
Glory takes the bait. Giles did receive some money to put in his safe in the study and Glory sneaks into the study to take her prize.
"I'm going shopping Ripper," says Glory as she walks towards the door.
"Aren't you having any breakfast?" says Giles. "At least a crust of bread." Giles gets up with role in his hand and walks over to Glory. She turns to him.
"You're always looking out for me Ripper," says Glory. She takes a bit of the roll and savors it. "I gotta run." She kisses him on the cheek. Giles then pulls her back and kisses her on the lips. 'Buffy' walks into the room repulsed by the scene. Giles lets her go and she leaves the house.
"Elizabeth. Breakfast," says Giles eating the rest of Glory's roll.
"No, I think I lost my appetite," says 'Buffy' as she leaves the room. Giles rolls his eyes and walks back to the dinning room.
'Buffy' goes back to her room and sees Spike climbing into her room. She stands with her hands on her hips without saying anything until he is completely inside.
"What are you doing here?" ask 'Buffy'.
"Elizabeth," says Spike. "You startled me. Um, I just thought you might want to know that the other day I followed Glory and she went to some interesting places." 'Buffy' gives him a smile and walks up to him and kisses him on the lips.
"Oops," says 'Buffy' letting go of Spike's lips. "I'm sorry...I."
"It's okay Elizabeth," says Spike lying.
"Oh, the hell with it," says 'Buffy' as she kisses Spike again on the lips. He obviously does not resist. Spike moves 'Buffy' towards the door and pushes her against it to close it. Spike begins to kiss her on her neck and call her Elizabeth, which Buffy didn't like. She completely ignores it and they continue their escapade.
"Elizabeth I need to talk to you," Anya says from outside her room.
"Is it really important," ask 'Buffy' as Spike starts to nibble her earlobe.
"No, not really but..."
"I'll talk to you later," says 'Buffy'. "I'm taking a shower."
"Okay," says Anya as she leaves.
Elizabeth is walking down to the park where Tara and Willow said they are going to meet her. She goes and sits on a bench and waits.
"Buffy," says Xander as he walks over to her. "Hi. Mind if I sit?"
"No," says Buffy. Xander sits down and looks forward.
"Nice day," says Xander making conversation.
"I guess," says 'Elizabeth'.
"Meeting someone," ask Xander as he looks at her.
"Yeah..."
"Lucky guy," says Xander. "Does he go to our school?"
"No... he's a baseball player," says 'Elizabeth' with wicked smile. "He got a scholarship to UCLA. He's coming to have sex with me on the bench. He's always so busy with his work, school, and other stuff."
"Did you just say he was going to have sex with you on this bench?" 'Elizabeth smiles and laughs. Xander as usual is confused.
"Yes and no," says 'Elizabeth'. "Xander there is no guy."
"You were pulling my leg weren't you," says Xander laughing a little. He nods his head.
"I can't help it if I always get you," says 'Elizabeth' with a smile.
"Who are you meeting?"
"Tara and Willow," says 'Elizabeth'. "And there will be no sex involved. I promise." 'Elizabeth' gives him a smile. Xander is relief of that. He then gets up and turns to 'Elizabeth'.
"Well, then I'll see you around," says Xander with one of his grins that Elizabeth loves so much. She gives him a smile and he walks away.
"Xander wait," says 'Elizabeth.' She gets up and walks up to him. "I forgot something."
"What?" ask Xander as he turns around.
"This," says 'Elizabeth' as she walks up to him and kisses him right on the lips. (And the camera spins around them.) Xander is shock but goes with it. He puts his arms around her.
Tara and Willow come walking into the park and see 'Elizabeth' kissing Xander in the middle of the park.
"Oh, how cute," says Tara. Willow looks at Tara. "Well, it is."
"Tara Buffy is not going to be happy about this," says Willow. "Besides Xander is in love with Buffy not Elizabeth."
"But Elizabeth is in love with Xander and they are kissing," says Tara.
"Yeah, but someone is going to get hurt," says Willow. "And I think it's going to be Elizabeth."
'Elizabeth' counts her money for the tickets she is going to buy tonight. Willow and Tara are taking her to buy them. It's two. One for her and one for her mom.
"Honey, will you..." Joyce says entering her room and sees her daughter putting a lot of money into her purse. "Buffy where did you get all that money?"
