‘The Summers’ Mansion-Hank’s Office’
“Is everything alright?” Joyce asked as she walked over to ther asr as Buffy and Spike walked back into the office.
“Most of it.” Buffy replied looking over towards Alyson.
“What did your sister say?”
“It’s not important.” Buffy said moving to walk past her mother.
Joyce grabbed Buffy’s arm and turned her back towards her. “Elizabeth it clearly upset you so it is important.”
“She just said something that reminded me of something that happened in L.A., she didn’t meant to upset me.” Buffy looked over towards Dawn then back to her mother. “I said something that she didn’t like, so she said something I didn’t like. It was all very immature on both our parts.”
“What did you say?” Joyce asked.
Buffy shook her head. “It’s not important right now. I’m sure Daddy’s ready to get things started, I don’t want to take up anymore time than I already have.”
“Alright, but we’re going to talk about this before you leave.”
Buffy looked over to Spike who was just standing by letting the two women talk things out. “I have a feeling you’re not going to be in the mood to do much talking after Daddy’s done.”
“What do you mean?” Joyce questioned.
“You’ll see.”
“What does that mean?”
“Come sit down and you’ll find out with everyone else.” Buffy said before walking towards the table to take a seat.
“Elizabeth. . .” Joyce called after Buffy.
“Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine.” Spike said as he moved to take a seat next to Buffy.
*****
“Alright.” Hank stood up from his seat after everyone had taken a seat and settled down. “Now that we’re all here we can get started.” Hank turned to his eldest daughter. “Elizabeth why don’t you tell everyone the base plan and I’ll tell everyone what I’ve come up with to help.”
“Sure.” Buffy said before standing. “Most of you already know the basics, and you know why we’re doing this. Earlier today Spike was asked to meet with Drusilla’s father, by her father himself. I’m gonna let Spike tell you what they talked about first, then Carter is going to tell us about his meeting with Drusilla.” Buffy sat back down once she was done talking.
“You met with this woman?” Joyce asked as she looked over to where Carter was seated.
“Yes.” Carter answered nodding his head looking at Buffy’s mother.
“Carter is the reason we know about what Drusilla’s been up to and it’s also the reason we’ve come up with this plan.” Deacon stated.
“Why?” Joyce asked.
“Yes Carter, tell Buffy’s mother why you met with my wife.” Spike said looking towards Carter with anger in his eyes.
“Spike!” Buffy yelled turning to face him.
“What?” Spike asked innocently. “I just asked him to explain to your mother why he met with my wife.”
“It’s the way you asked I’m having a problem with.” Buffy stated.
“Why do you care how I asked?” Spike questioned angrily. “Maybe it was more than just friendship after all.”
Buffy looked at Spike with wide eyes. “You know that’s not true.”
“Really? You have sex with all the guys you’re just friends with?” Spike shouted.
“Elizabeth!” Joyce gasped in shock.
“You slept with Carter?” Alyson asked wondering why she hadn’t known about this.
“This is so not the point.” Buffy said looking around.
“It’s why this whole thing is happening.” Spike stated.
“This whole thing as you put it is happening because for three months it slipped your mind to tell me you were married!” Buffy screamed at Spike.
“Dru hasn’t been doing this on her own, Carter’s been helping.”
“He isn’t anymore.”
“How do you know?” Spike asked. “He could be playin’ both sides.”
“I’m not!” Carter yelled.
Spike turned to look at Carter. “Why should I believe you? You’re in love with the same woman I am.”
“Because Drusilla is planning on killing Buffy. I know she’ll never return my feelings, but I don’t want her dead because of that fact.” Carter replied.
“Killing?” Joyce whispered.
Carter looked around the group. “When I met with Drusilla today she said it was time for the big finish. When I asked her what that was she said Buffy’s death.”
“Hank you can’t let this happen. We can’t let this woman kill Elizabeth.” Joyce cried out.
Hank walked over to his wife and held her in his arms. “We won’t. Nothing is going to happen to Elizabeth. That’s why we’re all here tonight.”
Buffy walked over to her mother as well. “Mom we already knew that Drusilla might try this. We have a plan.”
“A plan?” Joyce asked sarcastically. “I’ll give you a plan.” Joyce looked over towards Spike. “Mr. Winthrop goes back to his crazy wife, and my daughter gets to live. The two of you never see each other again. He’s not wroth dieing for Elizabeth, and if he truly loves you he’ll do as I say.”
Spike stood up and moved towards the group of standing people. “If that’s all it was going to take to keep Buffy safe I would do it without a second thought.”
Buffy looked hurt for a moment. “Mom even if Spike went back to Drusilla she would still want me dead.”
“Why?” Joyce asked again for lord knows how many times that night.
“Becaut I t I wasn’t Spike could always come back to me. Me being dead would be the only way to keep us apart.”
Hank looked at his wife. “Joyce we have a plan. I’ve called in some personal favors from some people I know. No harm is going to come to Elizabeth.”
“How can you be so sure?” Joyce questioned.
“Because I won’t let it.” Hank stated.
“Neither will I.” Spike replied.
“Maybe Mrs. Summers will feel better after she knows the plan.” Cordelia said as she stood up.
“Cordelia’s right. I’m sure we’ll all feel better once we know fully what’s going on.” Willow added from he spot at the table.
Hank pulled a chair out for Joyce to sit back down in before walking to his seat. After everyone was seated again Spike told them about his meeting with Ethan and Hank filled them in on what his plan was.
