PART 3
10:AM
Scene: Centennial Mall. An average mall. Not
too small. Not too big. The gang is standing near one of the entrances.
Silia: Ok we do this in groups!
Jubilee: Ya gotta be kiddin me! Groups? Chaperones? I lived in a mall on my own and I’ll have you kn..
Silia: Jubilee?
Jubilee: Yeah? (Blows a bubble with her gum.
It pops suddenly) Ack!
Silia: Shut up.
Buffy: Why in groups though?
Silia: Only Cat, Alli and I have any actual
money. Or at least access to some. Until we set you guys up, we do it this
way.
Xander: Works for me.
Jubilee: (Mumbling and complaining)
Caitlyn: Alrighty then, since Jubilee is so
not agreeable to the groups.. Alli and her can wander.
Allison: Yes!
Jubilee: Cool. See ya! (Drags Alli off in
some random direction)
Caitlyn: Wait! We have said where to meet…
(Her voice trails off and she sighs)
Silia: Don’t worry Cat. I got it covered.
All right, then that leaves us. (She glances at the guys) Hmm…
Caitlyn: Hmm? (Follows Silia’s gaze. Her
hand flies to her mouth in shock) Oh damn I didn’t even think of considering
the male factor!
Quinn: Hey don’t worry about us.
Xander: Yeah we’re good. We’ll watch as
you ladies try on all th..
Silia: You even finish that thought and I
swear I will drown you in that fountain, bring you back to life and then lock
you in a room with a big screen tv playing nothing but Richard Simmons tapes.
Xander: GAH!! Shutting up now.
Caitlyn: (Looking in her wallet. A grin
apears on her face) Ohh! Look what I found! (Waves a credit card in the air)
Silia: Is that Alex’s?
Caitlyn: Oh yeah. Platinum baby.
Buffy: Platinum? Do you know what we could
do with that?
Caitlyn: (nodding) But this is for the men.
(Hands the card to Quinn) Don’t buy more than you can carry. K? Now go do
some male bonding. (Turns to Silia and Buffy) Ladies? Shall we? (Turns to the
guys as an after thought) Oh yeah meet us at the food court at noon. Ta ta!
(The ladies are talking as the leave the
guys behind)
Silia: Be wary mall goers. Caitlyn Morgan is
here and she shall devour your souls. Or else just buy them from you.
Buffy: Why do they get a platinum card? What
do we get?
Caitlin: Buffy, I have twelve of them. And
Sil can just conjure money on the spot. We’re good to go.
(The guys watch as the girls leave)
Quinn: (turns to Xander) I’m afraid. And I
don’t know why.
Xander: I
do.
Quinn: Why?
Xander: They’re going to make us carry everything when we meet up later.

10:15 AM
The torturous teens.
Jubilee: All right, how much money do you
have, Alli Cat?
Allison: (grins) I have a platinum card.
Alex gave it to me to shut up one day.
Jubilee: How do we know it’ll work here?
Allison: Oh that’s easy Lady Pharengese
enchanted everything so it’ll work anywhere.
Jubilee: This Pharengese chic, is that
reliable?
Allison: She should be. She’s our mentor
and a goddess of magic. This type of enchantment is like way too easy.
Jubilee: Cool. Oh here we go. (Stops in
front of a boutique. She stares at a black leather trench coat) That is way
wicked. We’re so going in.
Allison: Oh.. I want those boots!
____________
(Near the dressing rooms. Allison and
Jubilee are trying things on)
Jubilee: (looking her self over in the
mirror. She’s wearing jeans and a gothic looking white shirt. She pulls on
the black leather coat like the one in the window display. She frowns) Who’s
Alex any way? This looks wrong..
Allison: (steps from her dressing room stall
She wanders over to the mirror and does a spin. She’s wearing a silver
evening gown that looks a size or two too big.) You need some leather boots to
go with that. And Alex? He’s Cat’s twin brother. He’s a nice guy. He’s
kinda like Xander. He’s cute too.
Jubilee: Cool. Boots huh? We’ll get shoes
next. (Glances at Alli) Isn’t that dress too big? And where are you going to
where it?
Allison:
Um.. It’s not too big.
Jubilee: Yes it is.
Allison: It won’t be.
Jubilee: What, you saving it for when you
grow in to it?
Allison: Something like that. (Wanders back
to the dressing room stall)
Jubilee: Weird girl.

10:30 AM
The shopping super heroines
Scene: The ladies are in what seems to be an
80’s shop. Silia is wearing her usual attire, Black leggings, white shirt,
black leather boots and a purple leather trench coat. She’s flipping idly
through an old magazine. Buffy is next to her wearing a pale green top short
skirt a shade darker. She’s looking lazily through some old cassettes and
cds.
Buffy: Why are we in here?
Silia: Caitlyn is an 80s nut. It’s her one
real flaw. Sad.
Buffy: It’s always the smart ones.
Silia: (smiles slightly) Anything good in
there?
Buffy: Bleh. Nobody I know of. (Turns to
Silia) Hey these past two days you’ve been finishing peoples thought and
stuff..
Silia: I’m a telepath.
Buffy: Oh. Doesn’t it drive you nuts
though? To hear so many thoughts?
Silia: It did at first. I’ve learned to
control my powers. They have a much wider range than yours did. So I block
everyone’s thoughts away. Some just stand out though. And I always keep an
eye out for trouble.
Buffy: How did you know..
Silia: Tv show remember? I can give you
every detail too. With the telepathy comes a photographic memory.
Buffy: Whoa. What else can you do?
Silia: Telekinetic powers, sorcery, and I
mean the real thing. Not the stuff Willow casts. Pyrotechnics and I know every
known martial arts style on several worlds. Although that was a gift to me by
a fairy.
Buffy: (her jaw drops in shock) What do you
do with all that power?
Silia: Save reality a thousand times over or
so with the others. Die. Come back. Get seduced by the bad guys. Kill the bad
guys. Get moody. Hell I even brood every so often. But not so much any more.
Buffy: Um, don’t you have, I don’t know,
a life?
Silia: I’m in a band. And I don’t have
time for dates. The only one who asks me out is Alex. And he’s an annoying
version of Xander.
Buffy: Xander isn’t annoying.
Silia: I know. But Alex is. You know… on
the topic of Xander..
Buffy: Please don’t say you like him. I do
not want to see another person draping herself all over him.
Silia: (raises an eyebrow) There’s
jealousy in that tone.
Buffy: Ha! There is not. Why would I be
jealous? Anya isn’t that impressive.
Silia: But she has something you want.
Buffy: No she doesn’t. And don’t try and
read my mind.
Silia: I’m not. I just know what I see.
Buffy: Oh and just what do you see?
Silia: If you can’t figure it out yourself
me telling you isn’t going to help any.
Caitlyn: Tada! Well?
(Buffy and Silia turn to look at Caitlyn.
The redhead looks like Madonna during the early 80s with lots of neon green.)
Silia: (Starts to laugh) Oh my lord…
Buffy: (Laughing hard) You have to be
kidding!!
Caitlyn: What? Too much green?

The bonding boys
Scene: An electronics store. Xander and
Quinn are looking at big screen tvs.
Quinn: We can’t carry that. She said not
to get more than we can carry.
Xander: True, but we can have it delivered.
Give me the card.
Quinn: No. If any ones going to play Alex it’s
me.
Xander: Hey! I am an Alex. Now hand it over.
Quinn: No. Cat gave it to me.
Xander: And that makes you god? Give.
Quinn: No.
Xander: Fine! At least get the tv. And then
we’ll find you some nice equipment for a make shift lab.
Quinn: (his eyes light up) Lab?

Meanwhile…
Scene:
Sunnydale, Ca.
The apartment of Rupert Giles. Giles,
Willow, Oz and Anya are discussing Xander and Buffy’s whereabouts.
Anya: Where’s Xander?
Oz: That’s what we’re here to find out.
Giles: Yes well, we know they never came
home after patrol three days ago.
Willow: Giles, that’s all we know.
Giles: Erm.. true. Frankly I have no clue
what happened. And until we find Buffy we’ll have to take up the slaying for
a bit.
Anya: Who
cares about Buffy? I want Xander.
Willow: (rolls her eyes and mutters) What a bitch.
(Willow receives an odd look from Oz.)
Willow: What?

Somewhere, some earth,
Scene:
A very large kitchen. A tall good looking
red headed male is looking through cabinets. (Sound familiar?)
Alex: Huh.. Where did I put them?
(A tall leggy woman with shoulder length
light brown hair walks in.)
Woman: You probably ate them, Alex.
Alex: (looks up) Damn. Hi Ashley.
Ashley: Hey. By the way, Alli, your sister
and the object of your affections have been sucked in to a random portal and
can’t be found.
Alex: (distracted) Yeah thanks. (His head
snaps up) WHAT?!
