Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I Can’t Believe I’m Getting Involved In This....( Big Spoilers) — loves 6itch, 12:22:39 03/29/03 Sat

...But I’m in it now. Okay. Here we go. First let me tell you that I’ not a big Angel fan, BUT I’m pretty well Spuffy neutral, even though I do love Spike. He and Willow are my two favorite characters. But this scene looks like Angel and Buffy know what they’re doing... I do have my own personal theories as to why this scene happens, but I’d really rather not go there right now, as I’d like to spend some time with my sweet husband and son today! :-) So here’s how the scene plays out. You can be the judge of it (as I’m sure we all will)!

Caleb has JUST landed a punch on Buffy that nearly renders her unconscious. He has the scythe up over her head, when suddenly Caleb gets hit with a crushing blow and is momentarily dazed. He has dropped the scythe. Buffy looks up to see Angel standing over her. He takes her by the hand and pulls her to her feet. He says he never was one for Preachers. "Angel." says Buffy. They tell each other that they look good, then Angel says that he heard Buffy could use a hand. Caleb starts to get to his feet, and Angel starts towards him. But Buffy puts a hand on Angel’s arm. "Ah. This one of those things you just have to finish yourself?" asks Angel. Buffy tells him it is. Caleb is on his feet and moving towards her. Buffy picks up the scythe and stands her ground...and the fight REALLY begins. Angel, nonchalant, leans up against a wall to watch the show.He taunts Caleb as the fight goes on, "You’re so gonna lose. She does this thing where—" To make a long story short, fighting continues, ending when Buffy guts Caleb and he crumbles to the floor, apparently dead. "See? Under control." she says to Angel without looking. Buffy walks to Angel, exhausted. Angel steadies her. "Well at least tell me you’re glad to see me." Angel says. Weary, Buffy lets him embrase her in his arms. They hold the embrase for a moment, then Buffy pulls back to look Angel in the eyes. Then she tenderly kisses him...and the kiss builds into a REAL kiss.

As they kiss, we pull back to see a very stunned Spike. The First/Buffy is behind him. "That bitch." it says. Poor Spike just looks pained. BLACKOUT

Grrr...Arggg....
