"Come on, Dawson, you got a visitor"

"God, I can't believe he came again!"

"Ha! It's not that hunk of yours it's an old guy - maybe your dad?"

"Don't think so, haven't seen him in years."

*

"You??"

"Hello Faith. How are you?"

"Fine - I guess. I mean I'm in prison...What are you doing

here? I never expected you here."

"Well, it's an official visit. I came to ask you to take over your duty again."

"As a Slayer???"

"Yes indeed."

"And that is because the Council guys love me so much..."

"To be frankly the Council doesn't like the idea very much. But we believe that we have waited long enough."

"Waited? For what?"

"For another Slayer to be called. But there are no signs."

"You gotta be kidding me, Giles. Even I learned the drill: One Slayer dies the next is chosen! I just went rogue! I didn't die!"

"No, you didn't."

"Guess the old guys were hoping. So, you really want me to be a Slayer, again? Why?"

"Because you are The Chosen One!"

"Well, I was that, too, when I first came to Sunnydale and I wasn't very welcomed then!"

"I'm sorry for that. I guess we were all to wrapped up in our own problems."

"Thanks."

"You' re welcome."

"Look, Giles, I know I've done a lot of bad things. And I'm not sure that I won't be doing them again."

"Angel told me that you have changed."

"Well, I try to. Now I know what I did wrong and that I could have done it differently. Talking with Angel during his visits really helped me. I don't know if I'm ready to be a Slayer again - be one of The Chosen Two. Besides I'm kind of in prison right now and I don't think they will let me go anytime soon or send me on Slaying vacation."

"The Council will see to that. The right connections can make everything possible. So, Faith, if you decide to perform your duty again you will leave here with me today."

"You mean I just have to say yes and I will be free?"

"I wouldn't call it free - but, yes."

"That really cool, Giles. So we would be going back to Sunnydale and the Scoobies are welcoming me with open arms?"

"They promised to work with you, to help you. We all discussed this before I came here. We realized that we, too, have made some mistakes in the past. So if everybody really tries I guess we can make it work. Don't you think so?"

"I guess you're right, Giles. Will B. training with me?"

"What???"

"Okay, okay - that would be too much to ask for - after all what I have done to her. I understand - no big! I mean..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I understand that B. doesn't want to train or patrol with me again. I hurt her a lot but maybe in time..."

"He didn't tell you!"

"Who?"

"Angel. He didn't tell you!"

"Well, I haven't seen him in months. But that's not the first time he didn't visit me for a longer time. Last time he told me about his fight against his own darkness, about having an epiphany and that he has to make a lot of things up to his friends because he hurt them. Oh, and he told me that Joyce died. I'm really sorry. I liked her. I guess B. isn't taking it very good. How is she?."

"Oh, God!"

"Giles, what is it? What was Angel supposed to tell me?"

"She is dead, Buffy is dead!"

"W...W...What? She can't be dead! Giles, please tell me she's not dead!"

"I'm sorry but it's true. We have lost her. She is really gone!"

"That is why you came! You weren't looking for my replacement, you were waiting for hers!"

"Yes. Buffy died four month ago and yet no Slayer has been called. The Council believes that this is because Buffy already died when she was sixteen. So the next Slayer has indeed already been called."

"Kendra?"

"Yes. And when Kendra died.."

"I was called."

"Yes."

"So, I really am the Chosen One now.?"

"That you are, Faith. You are The Slayer!"

"I'm coming with you. I owe it to her."
