PREVIOUSLY ON BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER:
ALEX was about to ask BUFFY out on a date when a VAMPIRE attacked during MIKE and DAWN'S training. MIKE won a metal for athletic achievements and went with VI and DAWN to the hospital. XANDER had a glass eye put in. FAITH and STEPHANIE talked about how she's feeling after killing her Uncle. WILLOW tried to enchant XANDER'S glass eye, but it backfired and sent everyone back into the WISHVERSE. THE MASTER found out that MIKE, DAWN, STEPHANIE and VI could stop his plans, so he sent VAMPIRES out to kill them. They found out they were in an alternate reality and made their way to THE LIBRARY where they met up with GILES, LARRY, and OZ. Shortly after, WESLEY arrived with 20 POTENTIAL SLAYERS. MIKE, DAWN, STEPHANIE, and VI rescued ANGEL from THE BRONZE, and ANA used her nursing skills to bandage his wounds. Back at THE LIBRARY, BUFFY finally arrived and everyone planned to go to the Wine Cellar and get THE SCYTHE. MIKE and CARIDAD had sex. BUFFY and ANGEL had sex, and ANGEL turned into ANGELUS.
TEASER
28 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY - EARLY MORNING
MARISSA slowly walked down the hallway of the unfamiliar school. She had left THE LIBRARY early to go to the bathroom. The school was so big that she quickly became lost in the maze like hallways. Luckily, the power was still working and exit lights and show case lights lit the large hallways with a small glow. Everything was soundless as she walked, except for the sounds of her shoes on the floor. Everyone in THE LIBRARY had fallen asleep, so she was the only one awake. She noticed that BUFFY had reentered THE LIBRARY, but ANGEL was still no where to be found. She hoped she could find him and he could lead her back to THE LIBRARY. As she walked, MARISSA heard a small tapping noise come from the far corner of a hallway. MARISSA quickly followed it, suspecting it would be ANGEL. She thought out-loud.
MARISSA
What if it's a vampire? I probably shouldn't be doing this.
She turned to go the other way, wanting to put as much distance between herself and the other being, when she bumped into ANGELUS. She jumped, letting out a small scream, but calmed down when she saw the familiar face she was looking for.
MARISSA
Angel. I was just looking for you.
ANGELUS
Really? Why were you looking for me?
MARISSA
Well, I got lost in these hallways and I was hoping you could lead me back to The Library.
ANGELUS (stepping closer menacingly)
Are you sure?
MARISSA
Yeah...
ANGELUS
You weren't looking for something else? (He grabbed MARISSA and pushed her up against the wall, pinning her there with his vampire strength. His face quickly morphed into vampire face as he leaned in towards her neck.) Whatever you were looking for, even if it was for me, doesn't matter now.
ANGELUS slowly brought his fangs down into MARISSA'S neck. His fangs tore away at the flesh on her neck as blood began to pour into his mouth. MARISSA started screaming and attempted to struggle, but ANGELUS was to strong for her. She thought she was going to die, that this was the end of her, but suddenly ANGELUS was knocked to the side. MARISSA put a hand to her neck, trying to stop the flow of blood, and looked in front of her. STEPHANIE stood in front of her, staring back with compassionate yet brave eyes. She turned her head towards the attacking vampire and gave him a small half smirk.
STEPHANIE
So, we went through all that trouble to rescue you, and you're evil. It seems kinda ironic.
ANGELUS (rising to his feet)
Don't worry. You're little rescue mission wasn't a total waste of time. I wasn't evil then. You can thank Ms. Summers for my change.
STEPHANIE
What do you mean?
ANGELUS
The only way for Angel to lose his soul and turn in to me is to have sex with his true love; one true moment of happiness. Buffy came into The Library a little later than everyone else, didn't she?
STEPHANIE
So you're saying you slept with Buffy?
ANGELUS
You're not stupid.
STEPHANIE
The Buffy I know would never sleep around like a slut.
ANGELUS
But you keep forgetting, we're not in your world anymore. The Buffy in this reality doesn't really care what happens as long as she gets the job done. Well...in this case...I got the job done.
STEPHANIE grew angry at the comments ANGELUS was making about her mentor, her friend. She raised her hand up and punched ANGELUS in the face with all her anger. ANGELUS stumbled back a few steps and cradled his jaw. He laughed evilly.
ANGELUS
So...The girl has some spunk in her after all.
STEPHANIE
What are you talking about now?
ANGELUS
I've seen you fight. I've seen the way you act. You're not a Slayer. You may have the strength of one, but you don't have the skill. You don't have the attitude, the fighting skills; anything. You're just a girl with the strength of many men.
STEPHANIE
Maybe I'll surprise you. (She gets in a fighting stance.) Want to have a go?
ANGELUS
No, not really. The time will come when we fight. Until then, I think you and your friend should get back to The Library before I change my mind.
ANGELUS turned and slowly walked out of the hallway. He pushed open one of the doors and left the school, disappearing into the night. STEPHANIE watched him leave, and then turned back to MARISSA.
STEPHANIE
Are you ok?
MARISSA
Yeah. He bit me, but he didn't take that much.
STEPHANIE
Good. We gotta get back to The Library. He could come back. Come on.
STEPHANIE ushered MARISSA towards the correct way back to THE LIBRARY. She looked behind her shoulder once more, and quickly followed her down the hallway.

CREDITS ROLL
ACT ONE
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
It was morning; the first morning DAWN, VI, STEPHANIE and MIKE would see since they arrived in the WISHVERSE. They wouldn't see the morning light until later because they were still asleep. GILES, LARRY and OZ had gathered supplies in THE LIBRARY, which happened to be sleeping supplies. Rows and rows of sleeping people lined the floor as BUFFY walked around THE LIBRARY. Books were on the floor and some were spread openly on the table, breaking the binding. BUFFY knew that the books needed to be kept in good condition if people like her wanted to keep fighting demons. She had forgotten all her principals and manners when she became the Slayer, but she always took her destiny seriously. She picked up all the books and set them on the table in the middle of the room. She sighed. Who should she wake up first? It was time. She kneeled next to FAITH and KENDRA and nudged them both.
BUFFY
Wake up, guys. It's time.
FAITH and KENDRA squirmed underneath their blankets and slowly opened their eyes. They both sat up and looked at BUFFY weirdly. The rough awakening was a little disorienting.
KENDRA
Buffy?
FAITH
What is it, B?
BUFFY
I have to start waking you guys up. Get ready. It's time.
FAITH
All right! Time to kick some undead ass!
KENDRA
I'll help you wake up some of de other girls.
BUFFY didn't respond to KENDRA. She hadn't said thank you in a long time, and didn't want to begin now. Sometimes emotion could be perceived as a weakness, and she couldn't afford to show any weakness now. FAITH stood to her feet and stretched her arms and legs. KENDRA crawled over to some of the other girls and started waking them up.
KENDRA
Caridad, wake up...
KENDRA nudged CARIDAD a few times. CARIDAD slowly stirred and opened her eyes tiredly.
CARIDAD
What is it?
KENDRA
We have to go fight.
CARIDAD
Oh. Yeah.
CARIDAD went to wake MIKE up, but KENDRA quickly grabbed her hand. CARIDAD pulled her arm away and looked at KENDRA, confused.
CARIDAD
What?
KENDRA
Don't bother waking heem up.
CARIDAD
Why not?
KENDRA
Buffy says that only potential Slayers are going.
FAITH
I don't care who's coming. (She picked a stake up off the table.) Buffy's in a world of her own. If she only wants potential Slayers to go, then well, there's nothing I can do about it.
CARIDAD
No need for the speech, really.
KENDRA
I'm going to wake up de other girls.
CARIDAD and FAITH watched KENDRA walk off to wake up some of the other girls. CARIDAD slowly untangled herself from MIKE'S protective arms. The two had settled together last night after their meeting and fell asleep together.
CARIDAD (whispering)
I'll be back soon. (She kissed MIKE on the forehead and stood up.) Ok, let's go.
KENNEDY (walking up to them)
You girls ready?
FAITH
Five by five.
CARIDAD
I'm ready.
STEPHANIE (walking up to the group as well)
Should we bring Marissa with us?
KENNEDY
No. She's injured. She's a liability.
BUFFY, VI, CHASTITY and 3 other potential Slayers. VI and BUFFY were both carrying bags of weapons. They didn't know what they'd encounter at the WINE CELLAR, but they knew weapons would help. Some of the other potential Slayers walked up to the group, a little unhappy they were not invited on the mission.
MOLLY
Why can't I come?
RONA
Me too? We're potential Slayers you know.
ANNABELLE
Don't question the Slayer. Her word goes.
CHLOE
I think it's best if I stay behind. I don't know how to fight or anything.
RONA
I'm just saying that it's a smack in the face when you're willing to help someone and they don't want it.
ANNABELLE
Ms. Summers never said she didn't want your help.
CHLOE
I don't mind staying behind, really. I can just stay here and help Mr. Giles do research.
MOLLY
I guess I can stay behind too.
KENNEDY
Then the only one we have a problem with is Rona, as usual.
RONA
What is that supposed to mean?
BUFFY
Hey! Girls! Save your anger for when we need it. Now, my team, come with me and the others stay here.
GILES
Do I have to tell you to be careful?
BUFFY
No. I won't listen to you anymore, but...thanks...
BUFFY grimaced at her emotion towards GILES. She didn't know him, and she never held her manners with someone she didn't know. She felt drawn to him, however, like a daughter to her father.
BUFFY
Let's go.
FAITH
Let's do this thing!
BUFFY, STEPHANIE, VI, KENNEDY, CARIDAD, KENDRA, FAITH, CHASTITY and the 3 other potential Slayers shuffled out of The Library, heading to the WINE CELLAR. WESLEY looked at GILES worriedly.
WESLEY
You think they can pull this off?
GILES
I hope so. (He looked at the three witches on the floor.) Get your associates read, Mr. Pryce. If their plan succeeds, they'll be called upon to perform the spell.
26 INT. THE MASTER'S ROOM - EARLY MORNING
It was the morning. THE MASTER should be asleep, but in less than 24 hours his plan would commence and he needed to make sure the meddling teenagers were taken care of. He waited in his throne, slowly dozing off as he waited for any news from his minions. Suddenly, XANDER and WILLOW pushed through the thick curtain and walked in front of THE MASTER'S throne.
WILLOW
We have some news, Master.
THE MASTER
Really? I'm greatly pleased. Tell me...
XANDER
Well, every one of them is held up in that musty old Library. There is this Slayer weapon located in this Wine Cellar that can make all the potential girls into Slayers. They're probably headed there now. If we use the tunnels, we can probably head them off and ambush them when they get there.
THE MASTER
This is good. We can use this information to our advantage. I want you to lead a group of vampires to that Wine Cellar.
XANDER
But, Master, it's day time.
THE MASTER
Use the sewers. Get as close to the temple as possible. For the rest of your journey, just put blankets over your head so you don't combust.
XANDER
Yes, sir.
WILLOW
So, you're pleased?
THE MASTER
Yes. I am. However, there is no puppy for you to go play with, seeing how those Slayer brats stole him from us.
ANGELUS
I wouldn't worry about Angel anymore. (ANGELUS steps past the curtain and walks into the room.) Angel's left the building.
THE MASTER
Angelus?
ANGELUS
That's right. I'm back, baby.
WILLOW
Puppy?
XANDER
How do we know it's really him?
THE MASTER
Bring out Drusilla. She can tell us everything. (Yelling.) Harmony, would you be so kind as to bring in Drusilla for me?
Harmony
Sure thing, boss.
Moments later, HARMONY walked into the room, pulling DRUSILLA by the arm. They stopped in front of The MASTER and to the left of XANDER and WILLOW .
HARMONY
Next time Spike wants to leave his girlfriend here, tell him no.
THE MASTER
Drusilla, dear, can you tell me if Angelus is really Angelus?
DRUSILLA
Angelus?
THE MASTER
Over there...
THE MASTER pointed a finger over to ANGELUS, who was leaning up against the wall. HARMONY left the room being bored by the whole thing as WILLOW and XANDER stood, observing everything. DRUSILLA walked to ANGELUS and took a long sniff of his scent. She smiled up at him and gave him a quick hug.
DRUSILLA
Welcome home!
XANDER
He's on our side now?
THE MASTER
It appears so.
WILLOW/DRUSILLA
Goody.
THE MASTER
Now, Xander, go lead the vampires to the Wine Cellar. Take our best fighters with you so we are guaranteed a winning blow. Oh, and Xander?
XANDER
What?
THE MASTER
Save one of the Slayers for me?
XANDER
Of course.
XANDER and WILLOW walked out of the room, leaving THE MASTER to sit and wait for their return again. DRUSILLA stared at ANGELUS, who was beginning to get hungry.
THE MASTER
I know that look. You want to feed.
ANGELUS
Of course.
THE MASTER
There are some delightful humans caged up in the main room. Go have yourself a go.
ACT TWO
29 EXT. OUTSIDE THE WINE CELLAR - MORNING
BUFFY, STEPHANIE, VI, FAITH, KENDRA, KENNEDY, CARIDAD, CHASTITY and the three other POTENTIAL SLAYERS walked quietly outside the WINE CELLAR. BUFFY distributed weapons of all sorts out to the girls and slung her personal crossbow over her shoulder. They all looked at the WINE CELLAR and BUFFY turned back to the girls.
BUFFY
Dawn told us that The Scythe was being held in a solid rock. If you manage to find it, tell Stephanie, Vi or I to pull it out.
KENDRA
What if there's vampires?
BUFFY
If there's vampires, if there's anything that isn't human, kill it.
FAITH
Really liking that plan.
BUFFY
Everybody ready?
VI
I've done this all before, I'm perfectly fine.
STEPHANIE
I'm not.
BUFFY
What? You're not ready?
STEPHANIE
No. I'm scared. I don't know how to fight. If we're about to go into some big battle and I don't know how to fight...I'm a goner.
BUFFY
And you didn't think of this last night?
STEPHANIE
Well, I talked to Angelus...
KENNEDY
You talked to the vampire?
STEPHANIE
Yeah. He told me I was nothing; just a girl with the strength of many men.
BUFFY
Don't let what he said get to you.
CHASTITY
Can we just go already?
BUFFY
Are you coming in or not?
STEPHANIE (sighing)
Yeah...I'm coming...
BUFFY
Good.
The girls entered the wooden door to the WINE CELLAR and slowly started to walk down the flight of stairs.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
The basement was dark as the girls cautiously climbed down the stairs. The smell of dust, dirt and wine filled the small room. Barrel after barrel of wine lay undisturbed on the cold ground. Everyone looked around, no vampires or demons could be seen. It was all clear, for now.
KENNEDY
I don't see anything.
FAITH
Looks like no one is here...Damn...
BUFFY
Ok, this is a good thing. Everyone spread out and look for a really big rock.
VI
Wait a second. I remember you told us that you went down a little trap door and that's were you found The Scythe.
BUFFY
When did I say that?
VI
Well, the other reality Buffy said it.
BUFFY
Oh. Ok, everyone! This looks like it's going to be an easy search. There should be a trap door on the floor somewhere. If you find it, call me.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
Everyone was awake in The Library now. They were all anxiously awaiting the return of their friends. MIKE, MARISSA, RONA, ANNABELLE, CHLOE, MOLLY and AMANDA sat around the table in the middle of the room. GILES and WESLEY were in GILES'S office.
MIKE
I'm so hungry.
MOLLY
I'm feeling a wee bit peckish myself.
RONA
Pu...Puckish?
CHLOE
I think that means hungry.
MIKE
We could break into the food pantry in the cafeteria.
AMANDA
Yeah, that's a good idea. Like Buffy said, we're gunna need our strength for tonight.
MARISSA
I could really go for a bag of chips.
ANNABELLE
I wouldn't eat any of that chance. I'm veggie.
MOLLY
Cracked you mean.
ANNABELLE
Just because I won't eat that greasy--
MOLLY
You think they have biscuits?
MIKE
I don't know. Maybe.
CHLOE
Then lets get going.
AMANDA
I'll bring a weapon...So we can break open the lock.
MIKE
Good thinking.
MIKE, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, CHLOE, RONA, AMANDA and MARISSA stood up from the table and walked out of the room. AMANDA stopped and grabbed a mace from the weapons locker as they walked out.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
All the girls were feverishly looking for the trap door leading down to The Scythe. Some of the girls were growing a little impatient, but that was understandable.
KENNEDY
Anyone find anything yet?
STEPHANIE
Nope.
CHASTITY
Dawn wouldn't send us on a wild moose hunt would should she?
KENNEDY (laughing)
Moose hunt?
FAITH (walking to CARIDAD)
You seem to be smiling a lot considering the situation we're in. What's up?
CARIDAD
I met a guy.
FAITH
Who?
CARIDAD
The one in The Library.
FAITH
That doesn't narrow it down. I know you're not talking about Wesley or Giles. Larry's gay. So it's either Mike or Oz.
CARIDAD
It's Mike.
FAITH
Oh. He's a cutie.
CARIDAD
I know.
KENNEDY
Buffy! Check this out.
BUFFY and all the other girls slowly approached KENNEDY and looked at the ground in front of her. Clear as day, the trap door was lying underneath a barrel. BUFFY pushed the barrel of wine out of the way and slowly pried open the door. They all slowly dropped down the latter. They all stood in aw at the giant rock lying in the center of the room.
KENDRA
How can we get The Scythe out of that thing?
BUFFY
I don't know. Maybe if Stephanie, Vi and I punched the rock at the same time the power would be enough to split the rock?
VI
That's probably going to hurt, but we can try.
Suddenly from both corners of the bolder, vampires, including XANDER, WILLOW , HARMONY, VANNY, ALEX and SHEILA walked out. They all stood in fighting stances, slowly approaching the group of girls.
JANE (an unimportant potential Slayer)
Here we go.
Both sides rushed at each other as the battle commenced. The Slayers were outnumbered by vampires, but they had to hold their own. BUFFY kicked a vampire in the stomach and tossed him into a large rock. VANNY swung at KENNEDY, who caught her hand and punched her in the jaw. SHEILA kicked CHASTITY in the stomach. WILLOW and XANDER closed in on BUFFY, both of them circling her menacingly.
XANDER
Ms. Summers, nice to meet you.
BUFFY
The feeling is not mutual.
WILLOW
This is the part that's no fun.
BUFFY
Trust me, it's about to get a lot more fun.
WILLOW
Yeah, when there's screaming.
ACT THREE
30 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA - MORNING
MIKE, MARISSA, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, CHLOE, RONA and AMANDA stand around the pantry that is locked with a metal lock. AMANDA holds the mace out to MIKE, and he takes it.
MIKE
I hope this works.
He raises the mace into the air and brings it down on the lock. The lock breaks in half and falls to the floor. MIKE pulls apart the pieces still on the door and pushes the pantry door open. He looks the food over.
MIKE
I really wish we had some Wendy’s, but this will have to do.
MARISSA
Anyone see chips?
MOLLY
Any biscuits?
RONA
I don't care what I get. Food is food.
ANNABELLE
Any fruits or vegetables in there?
CHLOE
There's some apples in the back.
ANNABELLE
Thanks.
MARISSA
Where are the potato chips?
AMANDA
There isn’t any. Sorry.
MARISSA
Damnit.
MIKE
I hope everyone at the Wine Cellar are having more fun than we are.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
Taking place where we left off, the battle is still happening. BUFFY kicks WILLOW in the stomach and punches XANDER in the face. KENDRA is knocked to the floor by an unnamed vampire. He kicks at her, but she catches his foot and pulls him to the floor. HARMONY swipes her hand and scratches Faith’s face. That only angers FAITH, as she kicks HARMONY in the gut and uppercuts her in the jaw. CHASTITY kicks SHEILA in the stomach, as an unnamed potential tackles an attacking vampire to the floor. JANE takes her weapon and slices a vampire’s neck open with it. CARIDAD punches a vampire in the face, knocking him to the ground. ALEX steps forward, smiling.
ALEX
Who's the boyfriend? I can smell him all over you.
CARIDAD
That's none of your business.
ALEX
Doesn't matter, The Master will kill him shortly.
CARIDAD is angered by that statement and she launches herself at ALEX. She kicks at him, but he jumps back and spins around, kicking her in the face. She punches him in the face, but it does little damage to the vampire. Meanwhile, KENDRA is knocked to the side as she and KENNEDY battle VANNY. CHASTITY takes out her stake and impales a vampire in the heart. FAITH is wailing on HARMONY. VI kicks a vampire in the legs. While she's recovering, VI takes out her hunting knife. She jumps on the back of the female vampire and cuts her head off with the blade. STEPHANIE kicks a vampire in the stomach and punches him in the face. WILLOW punches BUFFY in the face. XANDER grabs pushes JANE to the side and grabs an unnamed potential by the hair. He pulls her close to him and buries his fangs in her throat.
XANDER
Gotta love the blood of something young.
ALEX punches CARIDAD in the face and tosses her into the rock. She hit the rock and falls to the floor. ALEX approaches her, and she kicks him in the legs. He stumbles back, giving her time to get up. As he approaches her again, she punches him in the face. She goes to punch him again, but he catches her arm. With his other arm, he lifts her off the ground with his other hand. A loud snap is heard as he breaks CARIDAD'S neck and drops her to the ground. BUFFY looks at the two lifeless bodies of her army and is enraged by their deaths.
BUFFY
Son of a bitch!
BUFFY pulls her crossbow off her shoulder and loads a bolt. She pulls the trigger and lets the bolt fly into a vampire. It explodes into dust. She does the same for three other vampires before XANDER kicks the crossbow out of her hands. BUFFY punches Xander and he flies back, hitting the rock and falling to the floor unconscious. WILLOW, HARMONY, VANNY, SHEILA and ALEX are the only vampires left.
VANNY
I think we should get outta here.
HARMONY
I agree.
SHEILA
I'm gunna go even if you guys don't.
WILLOW
I'm not leaving here without Xander.
VANNY
We have no choice but to leave him.
ALEX
They won't kill him; they'll use him as bait. We can come back for him later and rescue him, like they did when they took Angel from us.
WILLOW
Fine.
The vampires slipped up the trap door before any of the girls could think. The covers must have been upstairs. When the Slayers went to check if they were there, they weren't. BUFFY, VI and STEPHANIE returned to the bolder and the other girls stayed up stairs.
BUFFY
Punch the rock on three. One.
VI
Two.
STEPHANIE
Three.
All three girls punched the rock with all the strength they could muster. The rock vibrated with the force exerted on it, but it soon crumbled under their might. It cracked into a few pieces and fell apart on the ground. There lying clear of any debris was The Scythe. BUFFY walked up and took The Scythe off the ground. She stopped for a few seconds, feeling the power course through her.
BUFFY
Let's get this back to The Library.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
MIKE and the POTENTIAL SLAYERS were still in the cafeteria having breakfast or whatever they wanted to call it. GILES, WESLEY and DAWN were still seated around the table.
GILES
Dawn, would you mind giving me some more information as to how you arrived in our plane?
DAWN
Sure, what do you want to know?
GILES
I don't know. Why don't you start?
DAWN
Sure. Ok. Well. Um. I remember 5 years back, while Buffy was a senior in High School a Vengeance demon named Anyanka granted a wish to someone named Cordelia. Cordelia wished that Buffy never came to Sunnydale and your reality was what she was granted.
GILES
In your reality, Buffy lived in Sunnydale, correct?
DAWN
Yes. She's my sister. Xander and Willow were not vampires either. They were Buffy's best friends. You were Buffy's Watcher and our father figure while we grew up. The town was not destroyed like this and The Master was dead. Although Buffy died while fighting The Master, but Xander revived her. That made two Slayers. Buffy and Kendra.
GILES
Kendra? The potential Slayer here?
DAWN
Yes, but her reign as a Slayer was short lived. Less than a year later she was killed by a vampire named Drusilla. Then Faith was called.
GILES
I suspect Faith is also the other potential Slayer here?
DAWN
Correct. Wesley became Faith's Watcher shortly after she was called. Anyway, years later, The First Evil made an attempt to end the Slayer line after Buffy died for a second time while saving me and the world. Xander, Willow , Tara and Anya resurrected her, which threw off the Slayer line.
GILES
Tara ? Anya?
DAWN
Tara was a good witch and Willow 's girlfriend. Anya is Anyanka. While in the Wishverse, you broke her necklace which reversed everything. She became human, turned good and fought on our side until her death in the final fight against The First Evil.
GILES
So, I suspect that if we find this Anyanka and break her necklace, than you can go back to your own reality.
DAWN
Nope. We got here differently.
GILES
How so?
DAWN
Well, during a battle against Caleb, a powerful agent of The First, Xander had his eye gouged out. Then, a few days ago in our reality, Xander had a glass eye put in so he wouldn't have to wear that ugly eye patch. Willow , who is a very powerful witch, enchanted his eye so it could see for him. I'm guessing the spell was worded badly or something went wrong, but it sent us here.
GILES
Eye of the Beholder.
DAWN
What?
GILES
Eye of the Beholder. Xander's eye was destroyed when it was gouged out, yes? Well, to enchant his eye to see for him, the eye sight needed to be taken from his own actual eye. The spell must have been worded badly or she messed it up, but the spell expanded so that everyone saw what the only holder of his eye saw - Vampire Xander. That means that he haad to take the eye sight from Vampire Xander. The Eye of the Beholder spell is very tricky and if she didn't perform it with herbs, than time and reality would fold and the reality of the holder of his eye would be brought into your world.
DAWN
Makes sense...kinda...
GILES
The only reason why your friends and yourself aren't like the rest of us is because of the gold and the molecules reflecting the vibes of the spell. If we manage to break Xander's eye, you can go back to your reality.
BUFFY
Then let's get with the breaking...
GILES and DAWN turned to see BUFFY standing in the doorway, carrying an unconscious XANDER. The POTENTIAL SLAYERS stood behind her, but quickly spread out to chairs and sat down, tired from their battle. BUFFY set XANDER down in a chair and quickly tied him up with some rope.
BUFFY
Dawn, break the eye so you can get back home.
DAWN
No.
STEPHANIE
No? I want to get up!
VI
Me too.
DAWN
You guys, we can't let these guys fight this big battle against The Master on their own. We have to help them!
VI (sighing)
You're right.
WESLEY
So now what do we do?
DAWN
Get your witches ready, it's time.
26 INT. THE MASTER'S ROOM - MORNING
THE MASTER knew that he would either receive good or bad news. His patience was running thin. He had sucked the life out of 3 victims in the past hour, but nothing seemed to make his nerves go away. He was about to scream when WILLOW , VANNY and ALEX walked into the room. They hung their heads in defeat knowing that there would be Hell to pay.
THE MASTER
Yes?
VANNY
My deepest apologizes, Master. The Slayers were to quick for us. They have The Scythe and Xander.
THE MASTER
What?
ALEX
The Slayer knocked him out in battle and they took him back to The Library with them.
WILLOW
Don't worry, sir. They won't hurt him. They're going to use him as bait for us. I can sense it.
THE MASTER
This does not suit me at all. One of you will have to pay for this. So who will it be?
WILLOW
I'd like to submit Sheila for the killing. She's been here the shortest and doesn't give you the respect you deserve.
THE MASTER
You're right. Bring her in.
VANNY and ALEX left the room and came back in moments later, dragging SHEILA with them. They threw her on the floor in front of THE MASTER.
SHEILA
What?!
THE MASTER
You've failed me. All of you. Now I must take your lives in penning. (VANNY handed him a spear and he jammed it down into SHEILA'S heart. She screamed and exploded into dust.) Let this serve as an example to you. If you fail me again, ever, than you will be in the same place she was. Now, get Angelus. Our operation is going to open in less than 20 hours.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - LATE MORNING
DAWN and BUFFY stood in front of XANDER who was still knocked out. GILES and VI had gone to look for LARRY and OZ because they had been missing for a few hours.
DAWN
Can I slap him? Maybe he's just faking it.
BUFFY
Sure, go ahead.
DAWN reached her hand back and slapped XANDER across the face. XANDER vamped out and opened his eyes.
XANDER
What the Hell?
BUFFY
Talk, or I'll stake you.
XANDER (sighing)
What do you want to know?
DAWN
Wow. He isn't very brave, is he?
XANDER
Hey, you'd do the same thing to save your own ass. And I think I could be considered a Master Vampire anytime soon, and you guys getting rid of The Master would be a great way for me to take the throne. So what do you want to know?
BUFFY
Tell us what's going to happen tonight.
XANDER
The Master is opening a factory tonight that will revolutionize the way vampires feed.
GILES and VI walked into The Library looking distressed.
GILES
They just wouldn't walk off and leave us.
VI
You don't know that.
XANDER (smiling devilishly)
Well, look who's fighting a loosing battle. Let me get this straight. One of your strongest players has crossed over to our side, we killed 2 of your potential friends, and now we've captured your two friends.
GILES
You have them?
VI
When?
XANDER
This morning. We used the sewers to get to the school. While you were all out getting that ax thing and eating breakfast, we snuck in here and took them.
GILES
Buffy, we found out some information while you were gone that could be of some importance.
BUFFY
What is it?
GILES
Upon reading over the spell that Willow did in Dawn's reality, we found out that if any of us die in this reality, they die in theirs.
BUFFY
What?!
GILES
I know. It's a terrible flaw in our plan to just go in there and fight.
XANDER
And the bad keeps getting worse.
BUFFY
We just have to risk it, Giles. To many lives are at stake for us not too. Everyone! Get ready! Train! Eat! Sleep! Do whatever you have to do! Tonight we're going to fight!
MIKE
You guys, I can't find Caridad anywhere. Do you know where she is?
BUFFY
There's something I have to tell you...
ACT FOUR
34 INT. THE FACTORY - NIGHT
There is a big machine centered in the room and there's a platform next to it. All the big vampires (THE MASTER, WILLOW , HARMONY, VANNY, ALEX, HARMONY, DRUSILLA AND ANGELUS) stand on the platform. A hundred vampires stand around the machine and the platform. To the left of the machine is a wooden cage full of humans. OZ and LARRY are in the cage.
THE MASTER
Vampires! Come! Behold the technical wonder which is about to alter the very fabric of our society. Some have argued that such advancement goes against our nature. They claim that death is our art. I say to them...Well, I don't say anything to them because I killed them. Undeniably we are the world's superior race, yet we have always been to parochial, to bound by the mindless routine of the predator. Hunt and kill. Hunt and kill. Titillating? Yes. Practical? Hardly. Meanwhile, the humans with their plebeian minds have brought us a truly demonic concept - mass production!
VAMPIRES
Yeah! (They cheer.) Yeah!
BUFFY, VI, STEPHANIE, MIKE, DAWN, FAITH, KENDRA, KENNEDY, CHASTITY, GILES, WESLEY, RONA, CHLOE, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, AMANDA, JANE and the rest of the Slayer team slowly enter. BUFFY has XANDER by the arms, but she lets him go.
VI
Should I stop him?
BUFFY
No. It's to late now. They won't stop for one vampire.
THE MASTER
Bring on the first!
VAMPIRES walk to the cage and attempt to pull out a girl. OZ and LARRY try to help her, but the VAMPIRES force her back. The VAMPIRES pull the girl out of the cage and pull her to the machine. They strap her down onto a metal table. She struggles, but a VAMPIRE stabs her with a sword.
THE MASTER
She's still alive, you see, for the freshness.
A VAMPIRE turns on the machine and the metal table moves back into a small conveyor. Four metal needles like spikes come out of the machine and impale the girl. They slowly start to suck the blood out of her. XANDER arrives on the platform and stands next to WILLOW . He says something in her ear and she looks at BUFFY, but doesn't do anything.
KENNEDY
What's the plan?
BUFFY
No one die...
Blood oozes out of a nozzle on the machine and it fills a wine cup. A VAMPIRE takes the cup off of a tray and hands it to THE MASTER. He holds the glass in the air and smiles.
VAMPIRES (cheering)
TO THE FUTURE! TO THE FUTURE! TO THE FUTURE!
BUFFY slowly pulls her crossbow off her shoulder and begins to load a bolt into it. She aims the arrow towards THE MASTER and prepares to fire.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - NIGHT
The three powerful witches from England sit on the floor. They're surrounded by candles and herbs.
THREE WITCHES
Words of the Goddess, prayers to the Goddess. Protector of woman, protector women. The power of the Goddess, Queen of the Moon, of earth, air, fire, water, of the Angel, of Guardians, and of Slayers, of Slayers, of Slayers. Goddess, Queen of the Moon, of the earth, air, fire, water, of the Angel, of Guardians and of Slayers, of Slayers, of Slayers, of SISTERS.
THE SCYTHE began to glow as the spell started to work.
34 INT. THE FACTORY - NIGHT
The VAMPIRES are still cheering. THE MASTER holds up the glass of blood and begins to drink it. VAMPIRES slowly close in on the Slayers. BUFFY prepares to shoot her crossbow.
BUFFY V.O.
Every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up.
BUFFY watched as all the faces of the other girls changed from scared helpless children to strong fearless warriors. The spell had worked. They were all Slayers. BUFFY looked back at THE MASTER and let her arrow fly. THE MASTER grabbed XANDER and used him to shield himself from the arrow.
THE MASTER
Kill them!!!
The VAMPIRES charged at the SLAYERS. The final battle in this reality had begun. VI took out her knife and sliced a vampire in the stomach. ANNABELLE grabbed a vampire and tossed her into the wall. MOLLY kicked a vampire in the stomach and then punched it in the face. CHLOE blocked an attack and punched the vampire in the jaw. AMANDA, who was carrying a long spear-like stake, jammed it up into the vampire’s heart. RONA caught a vampires hand and clubbed him over the head with a mace. MARISSA was punched by a vampire, but recovers and kicked him. BUFFY stakes a vampire in the heart and punches another vampire. FAITH kicks a vampire and starts beating on another vampire. KENDRA round house kicked another vampire in the face. STEPHANIE kicked a vampire in the stomach. KENNEDY kicked the wooden cage, breaking it, and let all the people run.
VANNY grabs a human and buries her teeth into his neck. Harmony grabbed a SLAYER by the neck and tossed her into the wall. WILLOW punched another Slayer and then tore the neck out of one of the humans running around. XANDER grabbed a SLAYER and buried his fangs into her throat, but was fended off by BUFFY before he could kill her.
MIKE saw ALEX biting one of the innocent humans. MIKE ran and tackled him to the ground. He managed to move on top of ALEX and took a stake out of his pocket.
MIKE
This is for Caridad.
He brought the stake down into ALEX'S heart. ALEX screamed and turned into dust. MIKE got to his feet again and ran back into the fight. Meanwhile, BUFFY was battling THE MASTER. She punched him in the face. She went to punch him again, but he blocked her attack. He punched her in the face and pulled her to him. He wrapped an arm around her and put another hand around her neck, preparing to snap her neck.
XANDER was fighting FAITH on the other side of the factory. She took a quick swing and punched XANDER in the eye. FAITH'S punch did heavy damage to XANDER'S eye.
Time and reality slowly began to go back to normal. The battle kept going, but DAWN, MIKE, STEPHANIE and VI faded out of the battle.
26 INT. HADENFIELD HOSPITAL LOBBY - NIGHT
DAWN, MIKE, STEPHANIE and VI were asleep in their chairs. Nurses and patients walked past them every now and then, and the occasional waiting room person would take a seat next to them. Slowly, the teens woke up. They looked around at their surroundings. Everything was normal again! They smiled and jumped up and down, hugging each other.
MIKE/STEPHANIE/DAWN/VI
We're home! We're home! We're home!!!
BUFFY, XANDER, WILLOW and FAITH walked out of their hospital room and saw the teens jumping in the hallway. They slowly walked to them and smiled at them, somewhat confused.
WILLOW
What's with the party?
XANDER
I know that getting a glass eye is big news, but...
BUFFY
Dawn...What did you do?
30 EXT. HADENFIELD HOSPITAL PARKING LOT - NIGHT
MIKE sat on a step outside the hospital parking lot. He stared out into space as he thought about the girlfriend he lost in the other reality. It was weird to think he fell in love with a girl in a few days, but he did have sex with her. MIKE wasn't the one to sleep around at all. He'd only sleep with a girl he loved. He sighed sadly to himself as DAWN walked out.
DAWN
You ok?
MIKE
Yeah, I'll be fine.
DAWN
You sure?
MIKE
Yeah, I'll be fine. It's just a lot to take in.
DAWN
You miss her?
MIKE
Caridad? Yeah.
DAWN
I'm sorry.
MIKE
It's ok...
DAWN
If you ever want to talk, I'm here.
ANA drove by in her car. She was leaving work. DAWN and MIKE waved to her, their own special way of saying thanks for their help, although ANA wouldn't remember. ANA gave them a weird smile and winked at them as she drove away. MIKE'S face changed into a nervous face. DAWN looked at him and noticed his change.
DAWN
What is it?
MIKE
Ana...I have the weirdest feeling she remembers...
DAWN
What? That's impossible. You, Me, Stephanie and Vi are the only ones who know and/or remember who happened.
MIKE
Think about it, Dawn. How would she know to be in the ally when we got attacked by the vampires.
DAWN
That's a good point. We'll keep an eye on her...
26 INT. ALEX'S HOUSE - NIGHT
BUFFY walked into ALEX'S house and was greeted by his dog. She picked the dog up and held him in her arms as she walked through the house. He wasn't home. He would never be home again.
BUFFY
Dawn was right...
BUFFY walked to the door, taking the dog with her. ALEX wouldn't be returning to take care of the dog.
BUFFY
Bye, Alex...
BUFFY walked out of the house, closing the door behind her.
ZOOM IN ON THE DOOR.
FADE TO BLACK
THE END
(previous episodes can be found at http://buffytheslayerseason8.alturl.com)
ALEX was about to ask BUFFY out on a date when a VAMPIRE attacked during MIKE and DAWN'S training. MIKE won a metal for athletic achievements and went with VI and DAWN to the hospital. XANDER had a glass eye put in. FAITH and STEPHANIE talked about how she's feeling after killing her Uncle. WILLOW tried to enchant XANDER'S glass eye, but it backfired and sent everyone back into the WISHVERSE. THE MASTER found out that MIKE, DAWN, STEPHANIE and VI could stop his plans, so he sent VAMPIRES out to kill them. They found out they were in an alternate reality and made their way to THE LIBRARY where they met up with GILES, LARRY, and OZ. Shortly after, WESLEY arrived with 20 POTENTIAL SLAYERS. MIKE, DAWN, STEPHANIE, and VI rescued ANGEL from THE BRONZE, and ANA used her nursing skills to bandage his wounds. Back at THE LIBRARY, BUFFY finally arrived and everyone planned to go to the Wine Cellar and get THE SCYTHE. MIKE and CARIDAD had sex. BUFFY and ANGEL had sex, and ANGEL turned into ANGELUS.
TEASER
28 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY - EARLY MORNING
MARISSA slowly walked down the hallway of the unfamiliar school. She had left THE LIBRARY early to go to the bathroom. The school was so big that she quickly became lost in the maze like hallways. Luckily, the power was still working and exit lights and show case lights lit the large hallways with a small glow. Everything was soundless as she walked, except for the sounds of her shoes on the floor. Everyone in THE LIBRARY had fallen asleep, so she was the only one awake. She noticed that BUFFY had reentered THE LIBRARY, but ANGEL was still no where to be found. She hoped she could find him and he could lead her back to THE LIBRARY. As she walked, MARISSA heard a small tapping noise come from the far corner of a hallway. MARISSA quickly followed it, suspecting it would be ANGEL. She thought out-loud.
MARISSA
What if it's a vampire? I probably shouldn't be doing this.
She turned to go the other way, wanting to put as much distance between herself and the other being, when she bumped into ANGELUS. She jumped, letting out a small scream, but calmed down when she saw the familiar face she was looking for.
MARISSA
Angel. I was just looking for you.
ANGELUS
Really? Why were you looking for me?
MARISSA
Well, I got lost in these hallways and I was hoping you could lead me back to The Library.
ANGELUS (stepping closer menacingly)
Are you sure?
MARISSA
Yeah...
ANGELUS
You weren't looking for something else? (He grabbed MARISSA and pushed her up against the wall, pinning her there with his vampire strength. His face quickly morphed into vampire face as he leaned in towards her neck.) Whatever you were looking for, even if it was for me, doesn't matter now.
ANGELUS slowly brought his fangs down into MARISSA'S neck. His fangs tore away at the flesh on her neck as blood began to pour into his mouth. MARISSA started screaming and attempted to struggle, but ANGELUS was to strong for her. She thought she was going to die, that this was the end of her, but suddenly ANGELUS was knocked to the side. MARISSA put a hand to her neck, trying to stop the flow of blood, and looked in front of her. STEPHANIE stood in front of her, staring back with compassionate yet brave eyes. She turned her head towards the attacking vampire and gave him a small half smirk.
STEPHANIE
So, we went through all that trouble to rescue you, and you're evil. It seems kinda ironic.
ANGELUS (rising to his feet)
Don't worry. You're little rescue mission wasn't a total waste of time. I wasn't evil then. You can thank Ms. Summers for my change.
STEPHANIE
What do you mean?
ANGELUS
The only way for Angel to lose his soul and turn in to me is to have sex with his true love; one true moment of happiness. Buffy came into The Library a little later than everyone else, didn't she?
STEPHANIE
So you're saying you slept with Buffy?
ANGELUS
You're not stupid.
STEPHANIE
The Buffy I know would never sleep around like a slut.
ANGELUS
But you keep forgetting, we're not in your world anymore. The Buffy in this reality doesn't really care what happens as long as she gets the job done. Well...in this case...I got the job done.
STEPHANIE grew angry at the comments ANGELUS was making about her mentor, her friend. She raised her hand up and punched ANGELUS in the face with all her anger. ANGELUS stumbled back a few steps and cradled his jaw. He laughed evilly.
ANGELUS
So...The girl has some spunk in her after all.
STEPHANIE
What are you talking about now?
ANGELUS
I've seen you fight. I've seen the way you act. You're not a Slayer. You may have the strength of one, but you don't have the skill. You don't have the attitude, the fighting skills; anything. You're just a girl with the strength of many men.
STEPHANIE
Maybe I'll surprise you. (She gets in a fighting stance.) Want to have a go?
ANGELUS
No, not really. The time will come when we fight. Until then, I think you and your friend should get back to The Library before I change my mind.
ANGELUS turned and slowly walked out of the hallway. He pushed open one of the doors and left the school, disappearing into the night. STEPHANIE watched him leave, and then turned back to MARISSA.
STEPHANIE
Are you ok?
MARISSA
Yeah. He bit me, but he didn't take that much.
STEPHANIE
Good. We gotta get back to The Library. He could come back. Come on.
STEPHANIE ushered MARISSA towards the correct way back to THE LIBRARY. She looked behind her shoulder once more, and quickly followed her down the hallway.

CREDITS ROLL
ACT ONE
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
It was morning; the first morning DAWN, VI, STEPHANIE and MIKE would see since they arrived in the WISHVERSE. They wouldn't see the morning light until later because they were still asleep. GILES, LARRY and OZ had gathered supplies in THE LIBRARY, which happened to be sleeping supplies. Rows and rows of sleeping people lined the floor as BUFFY walked around THE LIBRARY. Books were on the floor and some were spread openly on the table, breaking the binding. BUFFY knew that the books needed to be kept in good condition if people like her wanted to keep fighting demons. She had forgotten all her principals and manners when she became the Slayer, but she always took her destiny seriously. She picked up all the books and set them on the table in the middle of the room. She sighed. Who should she wake up first? It was time. She kneeled next to FAITH and KENDRA and nudged them both.
BUFFY
Wake up, guys. It's time.
FAITH and KENDRA squirmed underneath their blankets and slowly opened their eyes. They both sat up and looked at BUFFY weirdly. The rough awakening was a little disorienting.
KENDRA
Buffy?
FAITH
What is it, B?
BUFFY
I have to start waking you guys up. Get ready. It's time.
FAITH
All right! Time to kick some undead ass!
KENDRA
I'll help you wake up some of de other girls.
BUFFY didn't respond to KENDRA. She hadn't said thank you in a long time, and didn't want to begin now. Sometimes emotion could be perceived as a weakness, and she couldn't afford to show any weakness now. FAITH stood to her feet and stretched her arms and legs. KENDRA crawled over to some of the other girls and started waking them up.
KENDRA
Caridad, wake up...
KENDRA nudged CARIDAD a few times. CARIDAD slowly stirred and opened her eyes tiredly.
CARIDAD
What is it?
KENDRA
We have to go fight.
CARIDAD
Oh. Yeah.
CARIDAD went to wake MIKE up, but KENDRA quickly grabbed her hand. CARIDAD pulled her arm away and looked at KENDRA, confused.
CARIDAD
What?
KENDRA
Don't bother waking heem up.
CARIDAD
Why not?
KENDRA
Buffy says that only potential Slayers are going.
FAITH
I don't care who's coming. (She picked a stake up off the table.) Buffy's in a world of her own. If she only wants potential Slayers to go, then well, there's nothing I can do about it.
CARIDAD
No need for the speech, really.
KENDRA
I'm going to wake up de other girls.
CARIDAD and FAITH watched KENDRA walk off to wake up some of the other girls. CARIDAD slowly untangled herself from MIKE'S protective arms. The two had settled together last night after their meeting and fell asleep together.
CARIDAD (whispering)
I'll be back soon. (She kissed MIKE on the forehead and stood up.) Ok, let's go.
KENNEDY (walking up to them)
You girls ready?
FAITH
Five by five.
CARIDAD
I'm ready.
STEPHANIE (walking up to the group as well)
Should we bring Marissa with us?
KENNEDY
No. She's injured. She's a liability.
BUFFY, VI, CHASTITY and 3 other potential Slayers. VI and BUFFY were both carrying bags of weapons. They didn't know what they'd encounter at the WINE CELLAR, but they knew weapons would help. Some of the other potential Slayers walked up to the group, a little unhappy they were not invited on the mission.
MOLLY
Why can't I come?
RONA
Me too? We're potential Slayers you know.
ANNABELLE
Don't question the Slayer. Her word goes.
CHLOE
I think it's best if I stay behind. I don't know how to fight or anything.
RONA
I'm just saying that it's a smack in the face when you're willing to help someone and they don't want it.
ANNABELLE
Ms. Summers never said she didn't want your help.
CHLOE
I don't mind staying behind, really. I can just stay here and help Mr. Giles do research.
MOLLY
I guess I can stay behind too.
KENNEDY
Then the only one we have a problem with is Rona, as usual.
RONA
What is that supposed to mean?
BUFFY
Hey! Girls! Save your anger for when we need it. Now, my team, come with me and the others stay here.
GILES
Do I have to tell you to be careful?
BUFFY
No. I won't listen to you anymore, but...thanks...
BUFFY grimaced at her emotion towards GILES. She didn't know him, and she never held her manners with someone she didn't know. She felt drawn to him, however, like a daughter to her father.
BUFFY
Let's go.
FAITH
Let's do this thing!
BUFFY, STEPHANIE, VI, KENNEDY, CARIDAD, KENDRA, FAITH, CHASTITY and the 3 other potential Slayers shuffled out of The Library, heading to the WINE CELLAR. WESLEY looked at GILES worriedly.
WESLEY
You think they can pull this off?
GILES
I hope so. (He looked at the three witches on the floor.) Get your associates read, Mr. Pryce. If their plan succeeds, they'll be called upon to perform the spell.
26 INT. THE MASTER'S ROOM - EARLY MORNING
It was the morning. THE MASTER should be asleep, but in less than 24 hours his plan would commence and he needed to make sure the meddling teenagers were taken care of. He waited in his throne, slowly dozing off as he waited for any news from his minions. Suddenly, XANDER and WILLOW pushed through the thick curtain and walked in front of THE MASTER'S throne.
WILLOW
We have some news, Master.
THE MASTER
Really? I'm greatly pleased. Tell me...
XANDER
Well, every one of them is held up in that musty old Library. There is this Slayer weapon located in this Wine Cellar that can make all the potential girls into Slayers. They're probably headed there now. If we use the tunnels, we can probably head them off and ambush them when they get there.
THE MASTER
This is good. We can use this information to our advantage. I want you to lead a group of vampires to that Wine Cellar.
XANDER
But, Master, it's day time.
THE MASTER
Use the sewers. Get as close to the temple as possible. For the rest of your journey, just put blankets over your head so you don't combust.
XANDER
Yes, sir.
WILLOW
So, you're pleased?
THE MASTER
Yes. I am. However, there is no puppy for you to go play with, seeing how those Slayer brats stole him from us.
ANGELUS
I wouldn't worry about Angel anymore. (ANGELUS steps past the curtain and walks into the room.) Angel's left the building.
THE MASTER
Angelus?
ANGELUS
That's right. I'm back, baby.
WILLOW
Puppy?
XANDER
How do we know it's really him?
THE MASTER
Bring out Drusilla. She can tell us everything. (Yelling.) Harmony, would you be so kind as to bring in Drusilla for me?
Harmony
Sure thing, boss.
Moments later, HARMONY walked into the room, pulling DRUSILLA by the arm. They stopped in front of The MASTER and to the left of XANDER and WILLOW .
HARMONY
Next time Spike wants to leave his girlfriend here, tell him no.
THE MASTER
Drusilla, dear, can you tell me if Angelus is really Angelus?
DRUSILLA
Angelus?
THE MASTER
Over there...
THE MASTER pointed a finger over to ANGELUS, who was leaning up against the wall. HARMONY left the room being bored by the whole thing as WILLOW and XANDER stood, observing everything. DRUSILLA walked to ANGELUS and took a long sniff of his scent. She smiled up at him and gave him a quick hug.
DRUSILLA
Welcome home!
XANDER
He's on our side now?
THE MASTER
It appears so.
WILLOW/DRUSILLA
Goody.
THE MASTER
Now, Xander, go lead the vampires to the Wine Cellar. Take our best fighters with you so we are guaranteed a winning blow. Oh, and Xander?
XANDER
What?
THE MASTER
Save one of the Slayers for me?
XANDER
Of course.
XANDER and WILLOW walked out of the room, leaving THE MASTER to sit and wait for their return again. DRUSILLA stared at ANGELUS, who was beginning to get hungry.
THE MASTER
I know that look. You want to feed.
ANGELUS
Of course.
THE MASTER
There are some delightful humans caged up in the main room. Go have yourself a go.
ACT TWO
29 EXT. OUTSIDE THE WINE CELLAR - MORNING
BUFFY, STEPHANIE, VI, FAITH, KENDRA, KENNEDY, CARIDAD, CHASTITY and the three other POTENTIAL SLAYERS walked quietly outside the WINE CELLAR. BUFFY distributed weapons of all sorts out to the girls and slung her personal crossbow over her shoulder. They all looked at the WINE CELLAR and BUFFY turned back to the girls.
BUFFY
Dawn told us that The Scythe was being held in a solid rock. If you manage to find it, tell Stephanie, Vi or I to pull it out.
KENDRA
What if there's vampires?
BUFFY
If there's vampires, if there's anything that isn't human, kill it.
FAITH
Really liking that plan.
BUFFY
Everybody ready?
VI
I've done this all before, I'm perfectly fine.
STEPHANIE
I'm not.
BUFFY
What? You're not ready?
STEPHANIE
No. I'm scared. I don't know how to fight. If we're about to go into some big battle and I don't know how to fight...I'm a goner.
BUFFY
And you didn't think of this last night?
STEPHANIE
Well, I talked to Angelus...
KENNEDY
You talked to the vampire?
STEPHANIE
Yeah. He told me I was nothing; just a girl with the strength of many men.
BUFFY
Don't let what he said get to you.
CHASTITY
Can we just go already?
BUFFY
Are you coming in or not?
STEPHANIE (sighing)
Yeah...I'm coming...
BUFFY
Good.
The girls entered the wooden door to the WINE CELLAR and slowly started to walk down the flight of stairs.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
The basement was dark as the girls cautiously climbed down the stairs. The smell of dust, dirt and wine filled the small room. Barrel after barrel of wine lay undisturbed on the cold ground. Everyone looked around, no vampires or demons could be seen. It was all clear, for now.
KENNEDY
I don't see anything.
FAITH
Looks like no one is here...Damn...
BUFFY
Ok, this is a good thing. Everyone spread out and look for a really big rock.
VI
Wait a second. I remember you told us that you went down a little trap door and that's were you found The Scythe.
BUFFY
When did I say that?
VI
Well, the other reality Buffy said it.
BUFFY
Oh. Ok, everyone! This looks like it's going to be an easy search. There should be a trap door on the floor somewhere. If you find it, call me.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
Everyone was awake in The Library now. They were all anxiously awaiting the return of their friends. MIKE, MARISSA, RONA, ANNABELLE, CHLOE, MOLLY and AMANDA sat around the table in the middle of the room. GILES and WESLEY were in GILES'S office.
MIKE
I'm so hungry.
MOLLY
I'm feeling a wee bit peckish myself.
RONA
Pu...Puckish?
CHLOE
I think that means hungry.
MIKE
We could break into the food pantry in the cafeteria.
AMANDA
Yeah, that's a good idea. Like Buffy said, we're gunna need our strength for tonight.
MARISSA
I could really go for a bag of chips.
ANNABELLE
I wouldn't eat any of that chance. I'm veggie.
MOLLY
Cracked you mean.
ANNABELLE
Just because I won't eat that greasy--
MOLLY
You think they have biscuits?
MIKE
I don't know. Maybe.
CHLOE
Then lets get going.
AMANDA
I'll bring a weapon...So we can break open the lock.
MIKE
Good thinking.
MIKE, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, CHLOE, RONA, AMANDA and MARISSA stood up from the table and walked out of the room. AMANDA stopped and grabbed a mace from the weapons locker as they walked out.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
All the girls were feverishly looking for the trap door leading down to The Scythe. Some of the girls were growing a little impatient, but that was understandable.
KENNEDY
Anyone find anything yet?
STEPHANIE
Nope.
CHASTITY
Dawn wouldn't send us on a wild moose hunt would should she?
KENNEDY (laughing)
Moose hunt?
FAITH (walking to CARIDAD)
You seem to be smiling a lot considering the situation we're in. What's up?
CARIDAD
I met a guy.
FAITH
Who?
CARIDAD
The one in The Library.
FAITH
That doesn't narrow it down. I know you're not talking about Wesley or Giles. Larry's gay. So it's either Mike or Oz.
CARIDAD
It's Mike.
FAITH
Oh. He's a cutie.
CARIDAD
I know.
KENNEDY
Buffy! Check this out.
BUFFY and all the other girls slowly approached KENNEDY and looked at the ground in front of her. Clear as day, the trap door was lying underneath a barrel. BUFFY pushed the barrel of wine out of the way and slowly pried open the door. They all slowly dropped down the latter. They all stood in aw at the giant rock lying in the center of the room.
KENDRA
How can we get The Scythe out of that thing?
BUFFY
I don't know. Maybe if Stephanie, Vi and I punched the rock at the same time the power would be enough to split the rock?
VI
That's probably going to hurt, but we can try.
Suddenly from both corners of the bolder, vampires, including XANDER, WILLOW , HARMONY, VANNY, ALEX and SHEILA walked out. They all stood in fighting stances, slowly approaching the group of girls.
JANE (an unimportant potential Slayer)
Here we go.
Both sides rushed at each other as the battle commenced. The Slayers were outnumbered by vampires, but they had to hold their own. BUFFY kicked a vampire in the stomach and tossed him into a large rock. VANNY swung at KENNEDY, who caught her hand and punched her in the jaw. SHEILA kicked CHASTITY in the stomach. WILLOW and XANDER closed in on BUFFY, both of them circling her menacingly.
XANDER
Ms. Summers, nice to meet you.
BUFFY
The feeling is not mutual.
WILLOW
This is the part that's no fun.
BUFFY
Trust me, it's about to get a lot more fun.
WILLOW
Yeah, when there's screaming.
ACT THREE
30 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA - MORNING
MIKE, MARISSA, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, CHLOE, RONA and AMANDA stand around the pantry that is locked with a metal lock. AMANDA holds the mace out to MIKE, and he takes it.
MIKE
I hope this works.
He raises the mace into the air and brings it down on the lock. The lock breaks in half and falls to the floor. MIKE pulls apart the pieces still on the door and pushes the pantry door open. He looks the food over.
MIKE
I really wish we had some Wendy’s, but this will have to do.
MARISSA
Anyone see chips?
MOLLY
Any biscuits?
RONA
I don't care what I get. Food is food.
ANNABELLE
Any fruits or vegetables in there?
CHLOE
There's some apples in the back.
ANNABELLE
Thanks.
MARISSA
Where are the potato chips?
AMANDA
There isn’t any. Sorry.
MARISSA
Damnit.
MIKE
I hope everyone at the Wine Cellar are having more fun than we are.
30 INT. WINE CELLAR BASEMENT - MORNING
Taking place where we left off, the battle is still happening. BUFFY kicks WILLOW in the stomach and punches XANDER in the face. KENDRA is knocked to the floor by an unnamed vampire. He kicks at her, but she catches his foot and pulls him to the floor. HARMONY swipes her hand and scratches Faith’s face. That only angers FAITH, as she kicks HARMONY in the gut and uppercuts her in the jaw. CHASTITY kicks SHEILA in the stomach, as an unnamed potential tackles an attacking vampire to the floor. JANE takes her weapon and slices a vampire’s neck open with it. CARIDAD punches a vampire in the face, knocking him to the ground. ALEX steps forward, smiling.
ALEX
Who's the boyfriend? I can smell him all over you.
CARIDAD
That's none of your business.
ALEX
Doesn't matter, The Master will kill him shortly.
CARIDAD is angered by that statement and she launches herself at ALEX. She kicks at him, but he jumps back and spins around, kicking her in the face. She punches him in the face, but it does little damage to the vampire. Meanwhile, KENDRA is knocked to the side as she and KENNEDY battle VANNY. CHASTITY takes out her stake and impales a vampire in the heart. FAITH is wailing on HARMONY. VI kicks a vampire in the legs. While she's recovering, VI takes out her hunting knife. She jumps on the back of the female vampire and cuts her head off with the blade. STEPHANIE kicks a vampire in the stomach and punches him in the face. WILLOW punches BUFFY in the face. XANDER grabs pushes JANE to the side and grabs an unnamed potential by the hair. He pulls her close to him and buries his fangs in her throat.
XANDER
Gotta love the blood of something young.
ALEX punches CARIDAD in the face and tosses her into the rock. She hit the rock and falls to the floor. ALEX approaches her, and she kicks him in the legs. He stumbles back, giving her time to get up. As he approaches her again, she punches him in the face. She goes to punch him again, but he catches her arm. With his other arm, he lifts her off the ground with his other hand. A loud snap is heard as he breaks CARIDAD'S neck and drops her to the ground. BUFFY looks at the two lifeless bodies of her army and is enraged by their deaths.
BUFFY
Son of a bitch!
BUFFY pulls her crossbow off her shoulder and loads a bolt. She pulls the trigger and lets the bolt fly into a vampire. It explodes into dust. She does the same for three other vampires before XANDER kicks the crossbow out of her hands. BUFFY punches Xander and he flies back, hitting the rock and falling to the floor unconscious. WILLOW, HARMONY, VANNY, SHEILA and ALEX are the only vampires left.
VANNY
I think we should get outta here.
HARMONY
I agree.
SHEILA
I'm gunna go even if you guys don't.
WILLOW
I'm not leaving here without Xander.
VANNY
We have no choice but to leave him.
ALEX
They won't kill him; they'll use him as bait. We can come back for him later and rescue him, like they did when they took Angel from us.
WILLOW
Fine.
The vampires slipped up the trap door before any of the girls could think. The covers must have been upstairs. When the Slayers went to check if they were there, they weren't. BUFFY, VI and STEPHANIE returned to the bolder and the other girls stayed up stairs.
BUFFY
Punch the rock on three. One.
VI
Two.
STEPHANIE
Three.
All three girls punched the rock with all the strength they could muster. The rock vibrated with the force exerted on it, but it soon crumbled under their might. It cracked into a few pieces and fell apart on the ground. There lying clear of any debris was The Scythe. BUFFY walked up and took The Scythe off the ground. She stopped for a few seconds, feeling the power course through her.
BUFFY
Let's get this back to The Library.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - MORNING
MIKE and the POTENTIAL SLAYERS were still in the cafeteria having breakfast or whatever they wanted to call it. GILES, WESLEY and DAWN were still seated around the table.
GILES
Dawn, would you mind giving me some more information as to how you arrived in our plane?
DAWN
Sure, what do you want to know?
GILES
I don't know. Why don't you start?
DAWN
Sure. Ok. Well. Um. I remember 5 years back, while Buffy was a senior in High School a Vengeance demon named Anyanka granted a wish to someone named Cordelia. Cordelia wished that Buffy never came to Sunnydale and your reality was what she was granted.
GILES
In your reality, Buffy lived in Sunnydale, correct?
DAWN
Yes. She's my sister. Xander and Willow were not vampires either. They were Buffy's best friends. You were Buffy's Watcher and our father figure while we grew up. The town was not destroyed like this and The Master was dead. Although Buffy died while fighting The Master, but Xander revived her. That made two Slayers. Buffy and Kendra.
GILES
Kendra? The potential Slayer here?
DAWN
Yes, but her reign as a Slayer was short lived. Less than a year later she was killed by a vampire named Drusilla. Then Faith was called.
GILES
I suspect Faith is also the other potential Slayer here?
DAWN
Correct. Wesley became Faith's Watcher shortly after she was called. Anyway, years later, The First Evil made an attempt to end the Slayer line after Buffy died for a second time while saving me and the world. Xander, Willow , Tara and Anya resurrected her, which threw off the Slayer line.
GILES
Tara ? Anya?
DAWN
Tara was a good witch and Willow 's girlfriend. Anya is Anyanka. While in the Wishverse, you broke her necklace which reversed everything. She became human, turned good and fought on our side until her death in the final fight against The First Evil.
GILES
So, I suspect that if we find this Anyanka and break her necklace, than you can go back to your own reality.
DAWN
Nope. We got here differently.
GILES
How so?
DAWN
Well, during a battle against Caleb, a powerful agent of The First, Xander had his eye gouged out. Then, a few days ago in our reality, Xander had a glass eye put in so he wouldn't have to wear that ugly eye patch. Willow , who is a very powerful witch, enchanted his eye so it could see for him. I'm guessing the spell was worded badly or something went wrong, but it sent us here.
GILES
Eye of the Beholder.
DAWN
What?
GILES
Eye of the Beholder. Xander's eye was destroyed when it was gouged out, yes? Well, to enchant his eye to see for him, the eye sight needed to be taken from his own actual eye. The spell must have been worded badly or she messed it up, but the spell expanded so that everyone saw what the only holder of his eye saw - Vampire Xander. That means that he haad to take the eye sight from Vampire Xander. The Eye of the Beholder spell is very tricky and if she didn't perform it with herbs, than time and reality would fold and the reality of the holder of his eye would be brought into your world.
DAWN
Makes sense...kinda...
GILES
The only reason why your friends and yourself aren't like the rest of us is because of the gold and the molecules reflecting the vibes of the spell. If we manage to break Xander's eye, you can go back to your reality.
BUFFY
Then let's get with the breaking...
GILES and DAWN turned to see BUFFY standing in the doorway, carrying an unconscious XANDER. The POTENTIAL SLAYERS stood behind her, but quickly spread out to chairs and sat down, tired from their battle. BUFFY set XANDER down in a chair and quickly tied him up with some rope.
BUFFY
Dawn, break the eye so you can get back home.
DAWN
No.
STEPHANIE
No? I want to get up!
VI
Me too.
DAWN
You guys, we can't let these guys fight this big battle against The Master on their own. We have to help them!
VI (sighing)
You're right.
WESLEY
So now what do we do?
DAWN
Get your witches ready, it's time.
26 INT. THE MASTER'S ROOM - MORNING
THE MASTER knew that he would either receive good or bad news. His patience was running thin. He had sucked the life out of 3 victims in the past hour, but nothing seemed to make his nerves go away. He was about to scream when WILLOW , VANNY and ALEX walked into the room. They hung their heads in defeat knowing that there would be Hell to pay.
THE MASTER
Yes?
VANNY
My deepest apologizes, Master. The Slayers were to quick for us. They have The Scythe and Xander.
THE MASTER
What?
ALEX
The Slayer knocked him out in battle and they took him back to The Library with them.
WILLOW
Don't worry, sir. They won't hurt him. They're going to use him as bait for us. I can sense it.
THE MASTER
This does not suit me at all. One of you will have to pay for this. So who will it be?
WILLOW
I'd like to submit Sheila for the killing. She's been here the shortest and doesn't give you the respect you deserve.
THE MASTER
You're right. Bring her in.
VANNY and ALEX left the room and came back in moments later, dragging SHEILA with them. They threw her on the floor in front of THE MASTER.
SHEILA
What?!
THE MASTER
You've failed me. All of you. Now I must take your lives in penning. (VANNY handed him a spear and he jammed it down into SHEILA'S heart. She screamed and exploded into dust.) Let this serve as an example to you. If you fail me again, ever, than you will be in the same place she was. Now, get Angelus. Our operation is going to open in less than 20 hours.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - LATE MORNING
DAWN and BUFFY stood in front of XANDER who was still knocked out. GILES and VI had gone to look for LARRY and OZ because they had been missing for a few hours.
DAWN
Can I slap him? Maybe he's just faking it.
BUFFY
Sure, go ahead.
DAWN reached her hand back and slapped XANDER across the face. XANDER vamped out and opened his eyes.
XANDER
What the Hell?
BUFFY
Talk, or I'll stake you.
XANDER (sighing)
What do you want to know?
DAWN
Wow. He isn't very brave, is he?
XANDER
Hey, you'd do the same thing to save your own ass. And I think I could be considered a Master Vampire anytime soon, and you guys getting rid of The Master would be a great way for me to take the throne. So what do you want to know?
BUFFY
Tell us what's going to happen tonight.
XANDER
The Master is opening a factory tonight that will revolutionize the way vampires feed.
GILES and VI walked into The Library looking distressed.
GILES
They just wouldn't walk off and leave us.
VI
You don't know that.
XANDER (smiling devilishly)
Well, look who's fighting a loosing battle. Let me get this straight. One of your strongest players has crossed over to our side, we killed 2 of your potential friends, and now we've captured your two friends.
GILES
You have them?
VI
When?
XANDER
This morning. We used the sewers to get to the school. While you were all out getting that ax thing and eating breakfast, we snuck in here and took them.
GILES
Buffy, we found out some information while you were gone that could be of some importance.
BUFFY
What is it?
GILES
Upon reading over the spell that Willow did in Dawn's reality, we found out that if any of us die in this reality, they die in theirs.
BUFFY
What?!
GILES
I know. It's a terrible flaw in our plan to just go in there and fight.
XANDER
And the bad keeps getting worse.
BUFFY
We just have to risk it, Giles. To many lives are at stake for us not too. Everyone! Get ready! Train! Eat! Sleep! Do whatever you have to do! Tonight we're going to fight!
MIKE
You guys, I can't find Caridad anywhere. Do you know where she is?
BUFFY
There's something I have to tell you...
ACT FOUR
34 INT. THE FACTORY - NIGHT
There is a big machine centered in the room and there's a platform next to it. All the big vampires (THE MASTER, WILLOW , HARMONY, VANNY, ALEX, HARMONY, DRUSILLA AND ANGELUS) stand on the platform. A hundred vampires stand around the machine and the platform. To the left of the machine is a wooden cage full of humans. OZ and LARRY are in the cage.
THE MASTER
Vampires! Come! Behold the technical wonder which is about to alter the very fabric of our society. Some have argued that such advancement goes against our nature. They claim that death is our art. I say to them...Well, I don't say anything to them because I killed them. Undeniably we are the world's superior race, yet we have always been to parochial, to bound by the mindless routine of the predator. Hunt and kill. Hunt and kill. Titillating? Yes. Practical? Hardly. Meanwhile, the humans with their plebeian minds have brought us a truly demonic concept - mass production!
VAMPIRES
Yeah! (They cheer.) Yeah!
BUFFY, VI, STEPHANIE, MIKE, DAWN, FAITH, KENDRA, KENNEDY, CHASTITY, GILES, WESLEY, RONA, CHLOE, ANNABELLE, MOLLY, AMANDA, JANE and the rest of the Slayer team slowly enter. BUFFY has XANDER by the arms, but she lets him go.
VI
Should I stop him?
BUFFY
No. It's to late now. They won't stop for one vampire.
THE MASTER
Bring on the first!
VAMPIRES walk to the cage and attempt to pull out a girl. OZ and LARRY try to help her, but the VAMPIRES force her back. The VAMPIRES pull the girl out of the cage and pull her to the machine. They strap her down onto a metal table. She struggles, but a VAMPIRE stabs her with a sword.
THE MASTER
She's still alive, you see, for the freshness.
A VAMPIRE turns on the machine and the metal table moves back into a small conveyor. Four metal needles like spikes come out of the machine and impale the girl. They slowly start to suck the blood out of her. XANDER arrives on the platform and stands next to WILLOW . He says something in her ear and she looks at BUFFY, but doesn't do anything.
KENNEDY
What's the plan?
BUFFY
No one die...
Blood oozes out of a nozzle on the machine and it fills a wine cup. A VAMPIRE takes the cup off of a tray and hands it to THE MASTER. He holds the glass in the air and smiles.
VAMPIRES (cheering)
TO THE FUTURE! TO THE FUTURE! TO THE FUTURE!
BUFFY slowly pulls her crossbow off her shoulder and begins to load a bolt into it. She aims the arrow towards THE MASTER and prepares to fire.
32 INT. SUNNYDALE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY - NIGHT
The three powerful witches from England sit on the floor. They're surrounded by candles and herbs.
THREE WITCHES
Words of the Goddess, prayers to the Goddess. Protector of woman, protector women. The power of the Goddess, Queen of the Moon, of earth, air, fire, water, of the Angel, of Guardians, and of Slayers, of Slayers, of Slayers. Goddess, Queen of the Moon, of the earth, air, fire, water, of the Angel, of Guardians and of Slayers, of Slayers, of Slayers, of SISTERS.
THE SCYTHE began to glow as the spell started to work.
34 INT. THE FACTORY - NIGHT
The VAMPIRES are still cheering. THE MASTER holds up the glass of blood and begins to drink it. VAMPIRES slowly close in on the Slayers. BUFFY prepares to shoot her crossbow.
BUFFY V.O.
Every girl in the world who might be a Slayer, will be a Slayer. Every girl who could have the power, will have the power. Can stand up, will stand up.
BUFFY watched as all the faces of the other girls changed from scared helpless children to strong fearless warriors. The spell had worked. They were all Slayers. BUFFY looked back at THE MASTER and let her arrow fly. THE MASTER grabbed XANDER and used him to shield himself from the arrow.
THE MASTER
Kill them!!!
The VAMPIRES charged at the SLAYERS. The final battle in this reality had begun. VI took out her knife and sliced a vampire in the stomach. ANNABELLE grabbed a vampire and tossed her into the wall. MOLLY kicked a vampire in the stomach and then punched it in the face. CHLOE blocked an attack and punched the vampire in the jaw. AMANDA, who was carrying a long spear-like stake, jammed it up into the vampire’s heart. RONA caught a vampires hand and clubbed him over the head with a mace. MARISSA was punched by a vampire, but recovers and kicked him. BUFFY stakes a vampire in the heart and punches another vampire. FAITH kicks a vampire and starts beating on another vampire. KENDRA round house kicked another vampire in the face. STEPHANIE kicked a vampire in the stomach. KENNEDY kicked the wooden cage, breaking it, and let all the people run.
VANNY grabs a human and buries her teeth into his neck. Harmony grabbed a SLAYER by the neck and tossed her into the wall. WILLOW punched another Slayer and then tore the neck out of one of the humans running around. XANDER grabbed a SLAYER and buried his fangs into her throat, but was fended off by BUFFY before he could kill her.
MIKE saw ALEX biting one of the innocent humans. MIKE ran and tackled him to the ground. He managed to move on top of ALEX and took a stake out of his pocket.
MIKE
This is for Caridad.
He brought the stake down into ALEX'S heart. ALEX screamed and turned into dust. MIKE got to his feet again and ran back into the fight. Meanwhile, BUFFY was battling THE MASTER. She punched him in the face. She went to punch him again, but he blocked her attack. He punched her in the face and pulled her to him. He wrapped an arm around her and put another hand around her neck, preparing to snap her neck.
XANDER was fighting FAITH on the other side of the factory. She took a quick swing and punched XANDER in the eye. FAITH'S punch did heavy damage to XANDER'S eye.
Time and reality slowly began to go back to normal. The battle kept going, but DAWN, MIKE, STEPHANIE and VI faded out of the battle.
26 INT. HADENFIELD HOSPITAL LOBBY - NIGHT
DAWN, MIKE, STEPHANIE and VI were asleep in their chairs. Nurses and patients walked past them every now and then, and the occasional waiting room person would take a seat next to them. Slowly, the teens woke up. They looked around at their surroundings. Everything was normal again! They smiled and jumped up and down, hugging each other.
MIKE/STEPHANIE/DAWN/VI
We're home! We're home! We're home!!!
BUFFY, XANDER, WILLOW and FAITH walked out of their hospital room and saw the teens jumping in the hallway. They slowly walked to them and smiled at them, somewhat confused.
WILLOW
What's with the party?
XANDER
I know that getting a glass eye is big news, but...
BUFFY
Dawn...What did you do?
30 EXT. HADENFIELD HOSPITAL PARKING LOT - NIGHT
MIKE sat on a step outside the hospital parking lot. He stared out into space as he thought about the girlfriend he lost in the other reality. It was weird to think he fell in love with a girl in a few days, but he did have sex with her. MIKE wasn't the one to sleep around at all. He'd only sleep with a girl he loved. He sighed sadly to himself as DAWN walked out.
DAWN
You ok?
MIKE
Yeah, I'll be fine.
DAWN
You sure?
MIKE
Yeah, I'll be fine. It's just a lot to take in.
DAWN
You miss her?
MIKE
Caridad? Yeah.
DAWN
I'm sorry.
MIKE
It's ok...
DAWN
If you ever want to talk, I'm here.
ANA drove by in her car. She was leaving work. DAWN and MIKE waved to her, their own special way of saying thanks for their help, although ANA wouldn't remember. ANA gave them a weird smile and winked at them as she drove away. MIKE'S face changed into a nervous face. DAWN looked at him and noticed his change.
DAWN
What is it?
MIKE
Ana...I have the weirdest feeling she remembers...
DAWN
What? That's impossible. You, Me, Stephanie and Vi are the only ones who know and/or remember who happened.
MIKE
Think about it, Dawn. How would she know to be in the ally when we got attacked by the vampires.
DAWN
That's a good point. We'll keep an eye on her...
26 INT. ALEX'S HOUSE - NIGHT
BUFFY walked into ALEX'S house and was greeted by his dog. She picked the dog up and held him in her arms as she walked through the house. He wasn't home. He would never be home again.
BUFFY
Dawn was right...
BUFFY walked to the door, taking the dog with her. ALEX wouldn't be returning to take care of the dog.
BUFFY
Bye, Alex...
BUFFY walked out of the house, closing the door behind her.
ZOOM IN ON THE DOOR.
FADE TO BLACK
THE END
