Finding Truth:
Past Time
by misskim

Buffy: Hey.

Angel: Hey. What are you doing here so late?

Buffy: Oh I brought you something to snack on (Buffy hands him a bag of blood)

Angel: Thanks

Angel: No demons?

Buffy: Nope. Notta.

Angel: Oh.

Buffy: Actually, I wanted to apologize for last night. He shouldn’t have done that.

Angel: Buffy, it’s not in your position to tell me that your sorry for what Riley did.

Buffy: How are you feeling?

Angel: Better.

Buffy: Good. That’s good.

Angel: Yeah it’s good

Buffy: Yeah. OK, I really hate this small talk

Angel: I know but what else can we say?

Buffy: I don’t have an answer.

Angel: Makes two of us.

Buffy: Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?

Angel: Yeah Anytime.

Buffy: Good. I’ll see ya

Angel: Bye Buffy

(At night in a cave the demon Thernon in saying a spell)

Thernon: I call upon the Evil Spirits of Darkness.

(The Gods appear.)

God: What do you want Thernon?

Thernon: Turn back time to the summer of 1987.

God: The year your brother tried to kill a certain slayer.

Thernon: I know that Buffy killed the Master and some other powerful demons. I can kill her and Ayla before they take away my brother and my father.

God: Your father was stuck in a church underground and you never went to him.

Thernon: I can fix this.

God: If you fail me you will have hell to pay.

(The God disappeared and when he walked out of the cave he was standing in the city of Manhattan thirteen years ago.)

Thernon: I’ll save you brother.

(Mr. Summers, Mrs. Summers, and Little Buffy were on an airplane to New York City because of her Dads business)

Buffy: Mommy are we almost there?

Joyce: Soon Hunny, soon.

Buffy: I’m hungry.

Joyce: Were almost there. Why don’t you look out the window and see the big and tall buildings.

Buffy: Why? We have big buildings in LA.

Joyce: These are bigger.

Buffy: Mommy, I have to go to the bathroom.

Joyce: OK, Come on.

(They made their way to the back of the airplane)

Joyce: Excuse me sir. Can my child go ahead of you?

A Man: Look, lady I’ve been standing here. Hey you…

(He was pointing to Buffy.)

Joyce: Sir, please. Do not point at a six-year-old.

Buffy: Do I know you?

A Man: You will.

Hank: Joyce can you come here one moment?

Joyce: Yes. Buffy stay here and wait on line for a second.

Buffy: OK, Mommy.

Buffy: Sir, what’s your name.

A Man: Whistler. What’s yours?

Buffy: Buffy.

Whistler: Go ahead. The bathrooms yours.

Buffy: Thanks.

(As Buffy came out the captain spoke.)

Captain: Everyone this is the captain. Please buckle your seat belts. We are preparing to land.

Hank: Buffy, take your seat.

(The plane landed and Hank, Joyce, and six-year-old Buffy made there way to the Plaza Hotel. They settled in and Hank left for a business meeting in the Lobby since the executives were staying in the Hotel)

Joyce: Well, Buffy you want to go shopping.

Buffy: You can never turn down shopping Mamma.

(First, they went to Tiffany’s and of course for Buffy FAO Schwarz. As they were walking down the street Joyce saw an Art store and wanted to go in but she knew Buffy would be board to tears. Joyce was in luck. She saw a toy store next store.)

Joyce: Buffy, go in the toy store and wait for me there Ok.

Buffy: OK.

(Buffy didn’t feel like shopping anymore so she looked around for some entertainment. She walked a few steps and saw an Alley. Buffy didn’t know why but she felt this to be awkwardly familiar. She saw a man, a bum. It was cold out and the weather channel predicted snow.)

(The bum was a vampire. It was Angel. He felt the warm blood of a person and he knew the person’s eyes were on him.)

Angel: Go away. I’ll hurt you.

Buffy: No, you won’t.

(Angel turned his head at the sound of the little girl’s voice.)

Angel: I don’t like children.

Buffy: I’m not just any child. I’m Buffy.

Angel: You should go. You’re parents are probably looking for you.

Buffy: Where are your parents?

Angel: They’re dead.

(Angel turned his head. He didn’t want the little girl named Buffy to see him like this.)

(Being brave Buffy stepped closer to the man. When Angel felt her coming closer he turned around.)

Angel: I feel like I know you.

(Buffy put her hand out and Angel held it.)

Buffy: What’s your name?

Angel: Angel.

Joyce: Buffy! Where are you?

(Angel let her hand go.)

Angel: You should go.

Buffy: You’re my guardian Angel.

Angel: I’ll be forgotten.

Buffy: Never. I’ll never forget.

(Buffy walked away from Angel and found her mother.)

(In the Plaza)

Joyce: Buffy. Did you wash you’re hands, brush teeth, and take your vitamin.

Buffy: I mark in the space for all of the above.

Joyce: Goodnight Buffy.

Buffy: Night mom.

(Buffy tried to sleep but she failed. She had a terrible stomachache but she didn’t want to wake her mother. Buffy went outside on the deck and looked down at the street. She saw a girl fighting a monster. Buffy rushed out of the hotel room in her white nightgown to look at the girl fighting. When Buffy finally exited the hotel she saw the girl crying on the ground in the middle of the street. If there weren’t any cars she probably be dead from one of them.)

Buffy: Are you OK?

The girl: I’m fine. It’s just a normal day. You shouldn’t be here. It’s dangerous.

Buffy: I have people who protect me. Do you?

The girl: You’re smart for your age. How old are you? Five or six.

Buffy: six.

The girl: Well, you’re gonna make a good psychiatrist some day.

Buffy: Thanks. I think. What’s a psychiatrist?

The girl: You’ll learn. What’s you’re name?

Buffy: I’m Buffy.

The girl: Ayla.

Buffy: Back to my original question. Why were you crying?

Ayla: Well, Buffy there is some things you want to stop and you can’t. Then, there are things you want to act upon and you’re too scared to do so. But, if you don’t act on them, then you’re gonna be left alone. After this happens you realize that you’re more scared of being alone. Then, acting upon your instincts.

Buffy: Can you repeat that in Kindergarten terms.

Ayla: Always be the one to step to the plate. If you don’t you’re life will pass you by and all you’ll be left with is darkness. If you’re lucky enough to find that someone or something that gives you a smile than that’s your light.

Buffy: I hope you find your light.

Ayla: Me too because I deal with a lot of darkness. I gotta go. Make sure you get home safe.

Buffy: I will.

Mr. Giles: Demon brothers, Cronin and Thernon. They’re here.

Ayla: So, me slay.

Mr. Giles: Well, yes. But, first training.

Ayla: Giles.

Giles: Sorry Ayla but you have to train.

Ayla: You know just kill me now.

Giles: Very funny lets get to work.

Ayla: Can we just work on the crossbow?

Giles: Crossbow comes later. So, any details you like to share on last night patrol?

Ayla: Killed a vampire. Met a girl.

Giles: A girl.

Ayla: Yeah. She was about 6. I felt like I knew her. I don’t know how. I just felt this connection.

Giles: What kind of connection?

Ayla: Like she was me.

Giles: Oh God.

Ayla: Giles, what?

Giles: She probably is…

Ayla: Meaning she could be a future slayer that hasn’t been found.

Giles: There was a girl mentioned to be the next slayer.

Ayla: Buffy?

Giles: Yes.

Ayla: When will I die?

Giles: Soon.

Ayla: Giles, I don’t feel like training anymore.

Giles: It’s understandable. I need you to do one favor. I need you to find the girl and bring her here. She’s not safe. Cronin especially doesn’t like baby slayers.

Ayla: I’m on it.

(Ayla sneaks into the Plaza hotel and enters room 216. She went to the bed with the child lying beside her teddy bear and Mr. Gordo, the pig. Ayla tapped her and Buffy awoke.)

Ayla: We got to go.

Buffy: Go where?

Ayla: Some where safe.

Buffy: Safe? What’s safe?

Ayla: We have to go.

Buffy: Can I say good bye.

Ayla: Afraid not.

Buffy: Let’s go then

(Mr. Giles’s apartment)

Mr. Giles: And you must be Buffy?

Buffy: Live and kicken

Mr. Giles: I see that.

Mr. Giles: She’s like you.

Ayla: I’m guessing all slayers are alike?

Mr. Giles: Guess so.

Buffy: Yeah well, why am I here?

Mr. Giles: Well, umm uhh

Buffy: Monsters?

Ayla: Yes.

Buffy: Make them go away.

Ayla: I’m working on it.

Mr. Giles: Let’s go.

(Graveyard)

Buffy: They coming?

Ayla: They better and soon.

Mr. Giles: And here they come.

Buffy: Oh Yeah. Fun.

Thernon: Welcome to my humble home.

Ayla: The last time I checked this was my town.

Cronin: Well, may I ask how are you going to defeat us both?

Ayla: Watch me.

(At that moment Ayla did a hitch kick to the head at the head of Cronin making contact)

Ayla: Did you watch Thernon?

Thernon: You forgot Ayla. My powers.

Buffy: She’ll never forget.

Ayla: Listen to the girl she’s right.

(Thernon put his hand out and made Ayla come to him. At the same time Cronin was still stunned by the impact of the kick since he was still weak. Giles and Buffy made their way to the demon and with the help of each other and managed to kill him.)

(Ayla was still struggling because Thernon was about to choke her but little Buffy with all her power hit Thernon.)

Buffy: Let her go ugly

(Thernon threw Buffy away and she fell onto the ground)

Ayla: Never hurt her.

Thernon: I just believed I did.

(Giles went to Buffy and carried her away while Thernon and Ayla fought.)

Angel: Let me take her. Go help your slayer. Go!

(Giles handed little Buffy to Angel not even knowing who he was. As Giles returned to the sight where Ayla and Thernon were fighting he saw his slayer lying on the ground with no breath and no heart beat. Giles went to her.)

Giles: I’m sorry. I failed you.

(Angel was going threw alley to alley trying to keep Buffy safe. He got her to her room, 216. He laid her down as she slept.)

(Buffy’s eyes opened)

Buffy: Angel?

Angel: Go to sleep. Rest just rest.

(Present time)

(Buffy awakes from a dream)

Buffy: Oh…..God

Willow: Buffy are you OK.

Buffy: Yeah. I just remembered something.

Willow: What?

Buffy: A day I didn’t want to forget.

Buffy: I’ll be back.

Willow: Where are you going? It’s 4:20 in the morning. Can’t it wait.

Buffy: No it can’t.

(At Angel’s mansion)

(Buffy knocks on the door and Angel answers)

Angel: Hey, what are you doing here at this hour?

Angel: Are you OK?

Buffy: No I’m not. I’m confused.

Angel: About what?

(Buffy goes up to Angel and whispers in his ear)

Buffy: I told you I wouldn’t forget. I’ll never forget.

(Angel’s face fell cold thinking Did she know or didn’t she?)
