brief author notes: Can't believe I actually finished a story. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it. Lula is Lula in these last too chapters instead of Lulu thanks to an anon reviewer. For some reason I got it stuck into my head that her name was Lulu. If you know of any good Buffy/Stephine Plum crossovers please let me know I think Stephine would be a hilarious Slayer. I didn't know of any demons from BTVS right of the top of my head so I just made one up.
Lula's practically jumping up and down in my car because she is finally going to see the Batcave. Me, I'm curious about my skip Faith. For Ranger to have offered someone crash space something must have happened.
When I arrived at Rangerman Headquarters, Lula was out of the car before I even stopped it. Xander and Ranger followed behind much more calmly. Ranger led us up to one of the guest rooms and let us in. I had previously only seen the picture of Faith on her bond file, it didn't do her justice. I had thought Jeanette was Ranger woman but Jeanette had nothing on Faith. Faith was dressed in tight, supple, black leather and just excluded sex appeal and danger. I could now understand why Xander was more worried about the town being destroyed than Faith being injured. From the way she glided over to greet Xander even I could tell she was a very good fighter. Her reaction on seeing Xander though prevented her from being too scary. Their conversation on the other hand, dang.
"Xander, Guess what?" Faith purred. "I'm closing in on your record of building destroyed. Just a few more and I'll have it beat."
Xander laughed and replied "If the building is still standing that doesn't count, Faith remember? Also Faith, getting me down here by not checking in on time to show off your destroyed building is not a good idea. You really worried Dawn and Willow, specially when you didn't show up for your court appointment this morning."
"What? It was this morning? I thought it was tomorrow." Faith grimaced. "Sorry about that. The fight last night was a lot of fun and I got to wrapped up in destroying the Plink Nest. You might want to check that out Xander and make sure I got them all. I think one or two may have escaped."
I found myself wondering what a Plink was and why one or two of them escaping was so important to Faith and Xander as they continued talking. As interesting and weird as I found this though I need to get Faith to the police station if I want my money.
"Faith" I interrupted them. "Hello, I'm Stephine Plum and I need to take you into the Police Station so that you can be rebonded since you missed your court appointment this morning."
"Oh, right." Faith exclaimed. "I had completely forgotten about that. Gimmie a min to gather up my stuff. I don't have to much on account of my apartment being broken into so it shouldn't take long."
I watched in shock as she gathered her stuff. Definitely a female ranger I thought as she gathered and put on a bunch of weapons. She must of had 3 knives, a gun, and several wooden stick things. Ranger looked on approvingly, Lula enviously and Xander, he asked her if she need some more since she was packing so lightly today. What in the world does the council do? We left Ranger at his headquarter since he said he had some more work to do and Faith and Lula squeezed into my car while Xander followed behind once more.
Wanting to get this case over and done with since the strangeness kept growing I left Rangerman Headquarters a little fast. I suddenly had to hit on the brakes though when this giant purple thing with horns leaped out in front of my car. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stop in time and crunched the front end of my car into it whatever it was. The hit didn't kill whatever it was but injured it enough for it get angry and rip off the hood of my car. Faith seemed to know what they were and as soon as she could she got out of my car and charged the purple thing saying something about stupid Plink Demons.
As she charged the Plink, I guess that was attacking my car Lula and I saw another one coming around the corner to attack Faith. I didn't have any idea what to do other than yell a warning to Faith but Lula pulled out her shotgun and starting firing randomly at the new one. Xander must have known exactly what they were, because we heard him yell everyone down. We all dropped and the next thing we know there's a loud bang and purple and green gunk starts raining all over the place apparently from the Plink since they weren't attacking anymore. Once it stopped raining gunk Lula and I got out of the remains of my car and let Xander herd us into his car once he put down towels on the seats so that we didn't ruin them with the gunk we were all covered in him. For once I was hoping to bring in a Skip without ruining either my car or getting covered in gunk. Guess this wasn't the case for that.
On the car ride to the station Lula and I tried to pump Faith and Xander for information on what that was. Ok so I wanted to know what it was, Lula wanted to know what killed it and where she could get some. Faith just laughed at us and told us that our clothes were still recoverable we would just need to soak them in whiskey for the next two days. When we arrived to the station Morelli hurried out.
"What happened Stephine?" He asked me. "Eddie reported that your car had been destroyed and that you weren't there so I was worried and here you are covered in some funky stuff."
"Nothing much, some crazy person attacked my car and sprayed us with something, but as you can see I"m fine." I didn't think he would really buy that excuse but I really didn't want to explain what had happened. "I need to go check Faith in though so give me a call tonight."
I went and got Faith and we straggled into the police station. To be honest I hid behind Faith in an attempt to avoid being seen and she strolled into the station as if being covered in green and purple goo was the latest fashion statement. I wonder if I can get that to work for me somehow, probably not. After I got my money for turning in Faith, she was talking to the reception desk. In another strange event apparently the charges against her had been dropped and she didn't need to be rebonded. When I asked Faith about that and she just shrugged and said that Xander would be taking her back to Cleveland as was there anything else I needed before she left? Not knowing what to say I just escorted her back to Xander's car. Before they left though she stuck her head out of his car window and gave me a piece of strange advice.
"Never invite anyone into your house, you might accidentally invite in a Vampire." She yelled with a strange smile as they drove away.
Vampires, I don't need vampires. I already have enough trouble with crazy skips!
