"Never again," Buffy said as she walked along beside Spike. "I don't care what's at stake."
"No pun intended." she quickly added seeing the look the others were giving her.
"What happened back there anyway?" Dawn asked as she walked along side her sister.
"Oh lets see I almost got my foot ripped of by a bear trap, a demon starts shooting at us with a crossbow... " Faith began to tell the others as they walked.
"Then we're trapped in the demon dimension and we run into a some demons that knock Kennedy out then tranq us..." Buffy continued.
"Then when we come to were trapped inside some mystical barrier or something and there's this huge demon who has been promised a fight to the death with a slayer, and who does he happen to pick?" Kennedy paused pointing at herself for a second before continuing.
"So Hope knowing he'd kill me knocks me out so I couldn't fight him." Kennedy finished at this point everyone turned to face Hope.
"Moving along" Hope said seeing the look Willow was giving her.
"So after I had killed the demon the guards brought me back to where the others were, and the whole time I'd been gone Faith here had come up with a plan to get us out." Hope finished.
At that moment everybody stopped and turned to Faith looks of surprise on all their faces.
"What?" Faith asked "Why is everyone so surprised that I could come up with a plan?" she asked before they began to walk again.
"Still, it would have been a good idea to fill me and Kennedy in on your plan." Buffy said
"Yeah but then the demons would have heard and it wouldn't have worked." said Hope who wince after putting too much weight on her injured leg.
"Er… what's that?" Xander asked pointing at her leg.
"That?" Hope asked pointing at her leg.
"That's a hole in my leg made by a knife." she said looking at Faith then smiled to let her know there were no hard feelings.
"You stabbed her?" Xander exclaimed.
"Well I... you tell him." Faith said.
"Well Faith had this idea that if we got into a fight the demons would have to bring down the barrier around us to separate us." Hope said.
But the demons weren't buying it so we had to move onto plan B." Faith said looking at Hope whos arm was still draped across her shoulder.
FLASH
"I don't think they bought it." Faith whispered to Hope who had her arm around her throat.
"Then we better make this look real." Hope replied
"There's a knife in my boot use it." Hope told her
"What no way." Faith said she wanted to get out of here but not like that.
"What just a quick jab to the arm or leg I'm not talking about anything life threatening." Hope said
"You wanna get outta here?" she said repeating Faiths words from earlier.
FLASH
"Good plan." Xander said a hint of sarcasm in his voce
"Well it worked didn't it?" Hope and Faith said at the same time then laughed.
"How long were they together exactly?" willow said smiling at the two slayers.
"Wait a minute how did you get the knife the demons took all the weapons we had?" Kennedy asked.
"From the demon that brought me back." Hope answered then seeing the looks of confusion on their faces.
"I sorta picked his pocket." she shrugged.
"I just wanna get home and forget about all of this, take a bath and relax." Buffy said
"I can't wait to get out of these." Hope said pulling on her bloodied clothes
"Yeah but just think about the fun you could be having spending time with you best friends" Xander said falling behind the group a little.
"and if there happens to be some music and maybe an alcoholic beverage or two that's just a bonus." He added then saw the looks he was receiving off the slayers.
"And we're not going to the Bronze tonight are we?" He said lowering his head before joining the others.
The end.
