The dining room. Riley is looking out the window. Angel walks in.
"Commando man."
"Angelus."
"Its just Angel now."
"Is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you show up all of a sudden, and you want me to believe that your good again?"
"You showed up after me, why are you of all people giving me lip?"
"I want to make sure that she's in good hands."
"She's gone, not coming back, not by mystical laws, or medical. She's dead. I understand that, why cant you?"
"Cordy isn't dead."
"No, but you will be if you don't tell me why your talking about Cordy not being in good hands"
"I don't think that she should be with you."
"But she should be with you?"
"Yes"
"Your married!"
"Divorced"
"Oh, poor baby. Why?"
"She left me"
"No you know how Buffy felt."
"What?"
"Wow, so you don't know about that? Buffy was there when it took off, apparently Xander talked to her, and convinced her to try and stop you, But when she got there, you were taking off. She called me and cried all night. You have no idea how much she was hurting."
"She didn't say anything"
"What are you talking about? She screamed at you, you didn't move a muscle."
"Your lying"
"No I'm not"
"You wanna go?"
"Here?"
"Bring it on." They lunge at each other, and then Spike comes and pulls them away from each other.
"Guys, this isn't the time or place" Spike says, then he goes back to the kitchen.
"What devise?"
"What?"
"When you came, you said something about activating the devise. What devise?"
"I gave Xander a devise, that if he pressed it, I would be here in a second."
"Why did he press it?"
"I don't know, I haven't gotten time to talk to him about it."
"Well you better."
"You better back off."
"Don't test me boy." Angel said seething with anger. Riley just leaves the room.
Dawns room, Oz is looking out the window he saw everything with Connor and Dawn. He isn't very happy. Riley comes in to talk with him.
"Hey, what's up?" Riley asks
"They ran away."
"Who"
"Dawn, and Connor."
"Why?"
"Don't know."
"Why not?"
"I just don't, okay? Don't push me to do something that I don't want to." Oz says seething with anger.
Willows room. Cordy, Tara, and Faith are on the bed. They are talking.
"She did it." Cordy says.
"Who?" Both Tara and Faith ask
"Dawn. She left with him."
"Everything is in place." Faith says
"The world is going to end, in exactly 48 hours, starting now" Tara says
"And we had everything to do with it, with the exception of Oz." Cordy replies. They get of the bed and head over to the window and look out.
Buffy's room, Xander is sitting on the bed, with Willow.
"Why did he come back?" Xander asks
"I thought that you said that he was welcome anytime?"
"He is, I just would like to know why he did this time."
"I don't know, he just did."
"And that doesn't bother you?"
"No. Why would it?"
"The fact that he can just walk on in whenever he wants."
"Well not exactly, he calls before, he doesn't just walk in."
"We are talking about Angel right?"
"No, I was actually talking about Oz.. but sure.."
The Basement. Giles and Wesley are playing chess. Giles is crying. Andrew is still chained up, next to him is Donny, bound and gagged.
"Who called you?"
"Faith." He moves a piece
"Why?" He moves a piece
"I don't know, she said something about Buffy, and she was on speaker, so everybody had to come."
"I still don't understand why Gunn came. I mean I understand about Fred, and being the muscle. But still… Checkmate."
"He didn't want to stay at the hotel by himself"
"Right."
The Living room, Fred and Gunn are laying on the couch, The puppy is sleeping on the little pillow beside them.
"I'm sorry about Faith."
"Me too, I mean even thought I didn't know her. I've been told so much about her by Xander."
"Xander calls you?" Gunn asks
"Yeah, every week, he wants us to be kept up on all of the recent news. Every single last detail."
"That's gonna freak me out, how come you always say that its Willow?"
"huh? What? No!"
"Are you lying to me?"
"No, Charles, I just I don't understand what your saying."
"How come whenever Xander calls, you always tell me that its Willow?"
"Oh, I didn't even notice that I did it."
"Yeah, well okay, just don't do it again."
"Okay"
"Would you intentionally lie to me?"
"No, I thought that I already explained this to you!"
"Well maybe not!"
"I'm sorry okay? Xander thinks that you don't like him. So if I told you that it was him, he thought that you would come and beat him up!!"
"Okay, hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad."
"Yeah, just don't do it again, I hate yelling."
"But you do it a lot."
"What was that?"
"Nothing dear."
"Better be nothing"
"It was"
The house behind the summers house. Dawn and Connor as standing right next to a wall. Suddenly Dawn glows a bright green, Connor glows bright blue. They are lifted off the ground, and we faintly hear someone saying something…
"The Key and the Destroyer, together finally, now the earth will crumble before them" They are drawn back to the ground, They're eyes are Black and they're clothes are now leather. Dawn with Leather pants and a black tank top. Connor with leather pants, and a black muscle shirt. A evil smile forms on both Connor and Dawn's faces. They start walking off, they hold hands while walking. They walk up to another wall, Connor just waves his hand, and the wall gets blown up. They keep walking, not missing a beat.
The unknown voice speaks again, while we fade into Oz's face, saying the words.
"The world will crumble".
Dawn's room. Oz and Riley are still looking out the window.
"What the hell was that? Did you see it?" Riley says. Oz takes a knife out of his hand, and stabs Riley in the stomach. Riley falls to the ground.
"Oh, its just The Key and The Destroyer, off to end the world and of course I saw it. Why would I go through so much trouble to bring both of them together, and then let you ruin it? The Key and The Destroyer, will rule the world, and I will be they're right hand man, along with Faith, Cordy, and Tara of course Nobody will stop us." Oz has an evil grin on his face.
Fade to Willows room. Cordy, Faith, and Tara all have the same evil grin.
"Its started" Faith says
"The world will crumble" Cordy says
"And we will rule." Tara says
The living room. Fred has called everyone there. Faith, Cordy, Tara, and Oz are standing in the doorway. Gunn, Xander and Willow are sitting on a couch, with the puppy sleeping on Gunn. Giles, Wesley, Riley, Angel, and Spike are standing around the new coffee table.
"Everybody there is something that I really have to share"
"I thought you said that." Xander starts.
"I know, but I can't keep lying anymore." Gunn sits up now interested in what she has been keeping from him. The puppy shifts, but doesn't wake up.
"Everyone, I know this is going to be a bit of a shock after being a bit of a shock. But um. I have to say it."
"What is it?" Giles asks
"I'm pregnant." Fred says, just ripping the Band-Aid completely off. Gunn just stares at her, and at Xander. He makes the conclusion.
"He knew!!" Gunn says, pointing at Xander
"Hey, don't bring me into this, I told her to tell you."
"Well, your in it now!! How, how, how, how could you not tell me?"
"I'm sorry, I just didn't know how you would react" All the anger sinks from Gunn's face. He gets up to her, while picking up the puppy.
"Everyone, we have an announcement to make."
"What? Now? No, no!" Fred freaks out
"Honey its okay. Everyone, We're gonna have a baby."
"Oh, thank god." Fred sighs
"Fred, what did you think that he would say?" Willow asks, curious
"I thought that he was going to tell you the fact that…"Fred gets cut off by Gunn
"Honey, I thought that we talked about this."
"I know, but we have to tell them sometime."
"Says who?"
"Me."
"Sense when were you in charge?"
"Sense I got pregnant"
"Your gonna play that card every time aren't you?"
"Uh-huh"
"Okay, go ahead, tell them."
"Tell us what?" Faith demanded
"See now, that doesn't sound like somebody who wants to know" Gunn says
"Charles, I'm going to tell them"
"Why haven't you done it already?"
"You keep interrupting me"
"Well, go ahead, I'll be quiet."
"Okay, like 3 weeks ago. We um. Charles.. Um.. We are going.. To.. Um."
"I proposed to her" Everyone has shock written on their faces. Oz walks over to Willow.
"Sense everyone is sharing, I might as well do the same, Willow. I'm still in love with you." Angel stands up
"I love you Cordy" Spike gets up
"Glinda, you gotta come back to me." Cordy and Tara run to respected people. Leaving Faith just standing there. Xander speaks up
"You've always been the one Faith." Faith tears up, and goes over to Xander.
