Episode 6- Advancements by Nicholas

Willow and Robin are in the school basement on their lunch break, Willow had taken

a substitute teaching job with the school so it made it easier for them to talk and

research.

Robin: "So we put this temperature gage in here and hopefully the evil jackass who

is trying to open it won't find it?"

Willow: "Right and hopefully it'll let us know when the seal first starts heating

up and glowing before the vamp's get out."

Robin: "How will we know?"

Willow: "I have this fixed up to trigger a small alarm in the kitchen of the house.

So someone will need to stay close to home and contact me, you or Faith should it

go off, then hopefully we can get here in time to catch whoever's doing this. I think

this is our best bet unless someone stands guard in the basement all the time which

isn't a good idea because then the baddie would catch and maybe even kill them."

Robin smiles and shakes his head at her.

Faith: "Xander, are you sure it's a good idea to bring Amy to the house? I mean Red,

well they have this thing called a passed."

Xander: "We've gone on two dates, we know she's human and we brought you into the

house didn't we? What you did was way worse than what Amy has ever done."

Faith: "Hey, I'm not saying she doesn't deserve a chance but I think you should ask

Red about bringing her into the house before you do it." Kennedy comes inside.

Kennedy: "I have to agree with Faith here Xander. Buffy wouldn't do that without

asking Willow how she felt and why not just take her to your apartment. You already

have Willow, Andrew, Dawn and Faith living in that house, it's volatile enough."

Faith: "Yeah and thank God Giles left a certain stuck up potential slayer his apartment."

(she bats her eyes at Kennedy as Andrew comes in)

Andrew: "Guys, these pictures I got developed from the last big battle we all had.

Buffy dropped Caleb's ring during their fight, see look? Now I know you all got mad

at me for taking pictures but look what they've uncovered so detective Andrew at

your service."

(cut to night, Faith and Willow are patrolling)

Willow: "So anyways I hope the temperature gage works and I got you something that

might help you out." She hands her a box and upon opening it Faith sees a cellular

phone.

Faith: "Thanks Red, now I'm technologically advanced." Willow smiles at Faith. "Fuck!"

Faith spots a guy about to bite a girl during sex. She runs over staking him with

a freaked look on her face.

Dawn: "I was gonna stake him and why are you looking at me like that, you screw everything

on two legs!" Willow's eyes bug out.

Faith: "Not quite D, I think you need to get home."

Dawn: "Fuck off Faith!" She runs off.

Faith: "Red I'm not cut out for this parent/big sister role."

Willow: "I'm sorry Faith, you're doing the best you can."

Faith: "My best has never been good enough Red," she lights a cigarette.

Willow: "Sure it has, you've saved me and that counts for something and hey maybe

we were two judgmental of you back then."

Faith: "Call Xan-man, tell him to go look for D so we can get home and see about

the ring deal."

(cut to Summers home)

Xander has rushed out leaving Amy alone in the home explaining the temperature gage

to her. It goes off, she hits a button to silence it.

Amy: "Stupid boy, we're in the drivers seat now."

(cut to the school basement)

Caleb: "You dirty filthy whore of a girl, this is the only way to cleanse you of

your sins." (he slices her side and shortly two Turok-Hans come out) "Here's you

some food boys." They begin to feed off the girl.

(cut to Summers home)

Faith and Willow get there as Amy was slipping out the door.

Faith: "Damn it, what the hell!"

Amy: "Chill out Faith, Willow knows I'm on the road to redemption just like you.

Xander and I were having an evening in when he got the call so he went to find Dawn."

Willow: "I think it's ok Faith but why is he having dates here and not in his own

apartment?"

Faith: "I don't trust her Red. I know we all should have a chance to redeem ourselves

but I just don't trust her for some reason."

Amy: "Deal Faith, and the reason we were here is Xander's DVD player isn't working

and he wanted me to see this movie he rented." Xander comes back in with Andrew

in toe.

Andrew: "We can't find Dawn anywhere." In his nervousness he hits the carton of milk

Faith had on the counter dumping it everywhere.

Faith: "Damn it, you all deal with this crap I'm gonna call Robin and go find D."
