"Yeah, that is cool with me. Is Buffy still in there?" Faith asked and recieved a nod. "I'm scared."
"Its okay. You have me and Kennedy here to back you up." Dawn said pushing Faith toward the club.
"I think this is a bad idea." Faith said getting away from Dawn's grasp, but Kennedy grabbed her and pulled into the club and towards the bar.
Kennedy ordered two beers as Dawn went to Buffy. When the sisters came over, Buffy felt jelouse because she saw the guitarist with her arm around Faith. Dawn tapped Faith on the shoulder and the two turned around. "Umm.. hi B." Buffy went to say something, but Faith kept going. "No, let me please. I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything that I did or said. It was just like I was living a lie and for once I felt like I could play an important role. I couldn't be the hero because even if you did fuck up, you were forgived. So since the protagonist role was took, I figured why not antagonist. Then I met the mayer, and for some reason he was like a father to me. Not the my dick head father, but like Giles is to you. I loved that so much. Feeling like atleast one person cared about you in the world. I had no body besides K here, and I missed her so much. Then when you stabbed me, it felt that my world had ended, not because I had my own knife stuck in me, but because you were the one who put it there. The reason I'm here right now, is because the day I woke up I planned on getting revenge, but I just couldn't, then I met a council member. Well, a new council type. Anyways, he offered me a new life. My criminal record was erased, and I became a watcher. Then they assigned me to a potential and Kennedy here. She helped me relize why I acted and did what I did. It was because I loved... love you. I couldn't take you not giving me the time a day. It was always you showed up when it was slaying time and then left when the kill was done. Over the years, I've been writing Dawn making sure you were okay and she was the only one I didn't hurt. Well, it all pretty much comes down to I love you and I always will. I have since the moment I layed eyes on you. I came back to apoligize, and try to make up for everything I've done wrong in my life, if you'll let me."
"Go Faith." Faith's face fell as she heard Buffy's words. "Go and get some rest and meet me at my house at noon." And with that, Buffy left and tugged Dawn with her.
Faith could've swore she was dreaming, but knew she wasn't when Kennedy pinched her. "What was that for?"
"I can read your mind and vis versa, dumbass. Slayer sisters. Connection, you know? I heard you say you thought you were dreaming so I pinched you to show you that you weren't." Kennedy said smiling.
"Lets go get a room, I have some stuff in my head that I wanna write down, maybe a few songs, hopefully. Maybe we can start on a new cd." Faith said as the walked to the motorcycles, and drove to a hotel, one different from the one Faith stayed at when she first arrived in Sunnydale. Now Faith was just piling in the money since she was a musician, and making good money.
That night at the Summer's house Buffy was talking to Dawn in the kitchen. "Dawn, why didn't you tell me?"
"Duh... because you wouldn't have gone, and I want you and Faith to be friends again. She loves you Buffy. I've been writing her ever since she started working for the council. Besides that, I've kept up with her in magazines and everything else." Dawn said.
"Wait, Faith is in magazines?" Buffy asked.
"Yea Buffy. Faith and her band Chosen are huge since last year. Everybody loves her cds and music. All I listen to is her cds. All of her songs have a meaning, and they are mostly for you or how she feels about her self and what she did. Please Buffy, just give her a chance."
"I'll think about it, and I want to listen to her cd tomorrow and I want you to bring me all the magazines with her in them." Buffy said as Dawn left, then later came back with about fourteen magazines.
"Here. These are the important ones. The others I have you can get later. These should keep you for tonight. Night Buffy." Dawn said as she went to bed.
Buffy looked at the magazines, then picked them up, and carried them into the living room. She opened the first magazine and saw a picture of Faith standing there with three girls behind her. It had Chosen wrote under it with a stake. She noticed the interview with different members of the band. She went to Faiths and started reading.
Author: So what did you do before the whole musician thing happened?"
Faith: Um.. Well, my life sucked when I was young, but when I moved to help someone, I don't know it was all okay. I just pretty much faught alot and played my music in private.
Author: Why private?
Faith: Well, I was supposed to play this bad ass chick that wasn't afriad of anything and did not have a soft side.
Author: What were you aftaid of? Why are you opening up now and you still have that bad ass look?
Faith: (smiles) I was afraid of getting hurt, to let someone in and them not understanding. I guess I'm opening up now because life made me relize you only have a certain amount of time, and why try to hide and be something your not, and yea, I still have a little bit of my bad ass look and attitude.
Author: Your songs, do they all have a special meaning or a person you wrote them for or about?
Faith: Well, all my songs have a meaning. Some are about me doing some shit that I wish I hadn't of done, and a few others are about some one I love and me wanting them to help me. The others, I was either with Kennedy writing them or I just found something in life to write about that was important to me.
Author: Okay... How is it like having your sister back?
Faith: Are you kidding? Its amazing. I think I have almost everything I want in this life, maybe more.
Author: We did a backround check, and your family is supposed to be rich. Is that true and why would you run from that?
Faith: Money is not everything. I didn't want to live off of them. My parents weren't the stable type and I hated them, they hated me. When they found out I was gay, it just went all down hill from there, so I decided to run.
Author: When you woke from your coma, how did you feel?
Faith: I felt betrayed in a way, but I deserved what happened. I just didn't have any feeling what so ever. I really wanted revenge, but I did not have it.
Author: Okay, next subject. What made you want to play the guitar and start a band?
Faith: Well, I was in a band with Kennedy when I was younger, before I left. I loved it. I guess the way I could write songs and have a meaning to it even though it did not say it was a big factor.
Author: Have you ever been in love?
Faith: Yea, I have and I still am.
Author: Well, thanks for the interview, Faith.
Faith: No problem.
Buffy fell back into the couch and picked up another magazine, tattoo magazine. Buffy was wondering why Faith would be in a tattoo magazine, then she relized Faith had a long sleeve shirt on tonight. She opened the magazine to where Faith was and it had pictures of her tattoos, the tribal on on her bicep , chinese letters on the back of her neck, a heart on her chest with CHOSEN written in it, and two big tattoos going up her sides. They had the initials B.S. and F.S. and then a design around it. Buffy knew that the initials were for herself and Faiths'. She then decided to ge to bed knowing tomorrow would be a long day.
