In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.
Sunnydale Park after dusk. The playground is deserted. The carousel slowly turns, and the swings move in the light evening breeze. The only person there is a boy sitting on the jungle gym, waiting for his ride home.
C'mon, Mom. She's always late.
The camera pans around him until Drusilla can be seen slowly walking toward him from behind.
Are you lost?
(looks back at her) No. My mom's just supposed to pick me up is all. (climbs out of the gym)
Do you want me to walk you home?
No, thank you.
(touches the gym) My mummy used to sing me to sleep at night. (slowly walks around the gym as she sings) Run and catch / The lamb is caught in the blackberry patch... She had the sweetest voice. What will your mummy sing when they find your body?
(looks at her nervously) I'm not supposed to talk to people.
Oh. Well, I'm not a person, see, so that's just...
Angel suddenly steps between her and the boy.
Angel(to the boy, sternly) Run home.
The boy only hesitates for a moment before running off. Drusilla watches him run away in dismay. Angel takes a breath and turns around to face her.
My Angel!
AngelHello, Drusilla.
(slowly approaches) Do you remember the song mummy used to sing me? Pretty.
AngelI remember.
(senses) Yes, you do.
AngelDrusilla, leave here. I'm offering you that chance. Take Spike and get out.
Or you'll hurt me?
Angel looks down at the ground.
(senses) No. No, you can't. Not anymore.
AngelIf you don't leave it'll go badly. For all of us.
My dear boy's gone all away, hasn't he? To her.
Cut to the roof of the building across the street from the park.
AngelWho?
Buffy walks along the roof keeping watch.
The girl. The Slayer.
Buffy senses something and heads for the edge of the roof. Cut to the park.
Your heart stinks of her. (puts her hand on his chest) Poor little thing. (cut to Buffy) She has no idea what's in store.
Buffy looks over the edge and sees them standing close together. She can overhear.
AngelThis can't go on, Drusilla. It's gotta end.
She tilts her head and reaches up for a kiss.
Oh, no, my pet. This is just the beginning.
She pulls away without kissing and gives him an evil smile. She keeps her head turned to him as she slowly walks away. Buffy swallows at what she sees. Angel watches Drusilla go for another moment, then turns to leave also. Buffy steps away from the edge of the roof and runs off.
Opening credits roll. Buffy's theme plays.
~~~~~~~~~~ Part 1 ~~~~~~~~~~
Sunnydale High School the next morning.
It's a secret!
Cut inside. Jenny and Giles come down the stairs.
GilesWhat kind of a secret?
Uh, the kind that's secret. You know, where I don't actually tell you what it is.
GilesI think it's customary that when two people are going out on an evening that they, they both have an idea of where they're going.
Oh, come on! Where is your sense of adventure?
GilesWell, I, I... Uh, how will I know what to wear?
(looks at his tweed suit) Do you own anything else?
GilesUh, w-well, not as such, no, um...
(laughs) Rupert, you're gonna have to trust me.
GilesAlright, alright, I p-put myself in your hands.
That sounds like fun. (starts on her way) Okay, tomorrow night, 7:30, right?
GilesYes.
Buffy comes up to him as Jenny leaves.
BuffyHey.
GilesHello. (they start to the library) Um, did we hunt last night?
BuffyI did a couple quick sweeps downtown.
GilesAny encounters?
BuffyNothing vampirey.
GilesUh, I've been researching your friend Spike. Uh, the profile is fairly unappetizing. But I-I still haven't got a bead on why he's here.
BuffyYou'll figure it out.
GilesYou alright? You seem a little glum.
BuffyI'm fine.
They stop outside the library.
GilesWhy don't you take the night off?
BuffyOkay. That'd be nice.
GilesYes. You could spend some time with Angel.
BuffyI don't know. He might have other plans.
She walks off
