Central Park, New York – 4.10am

A man and his son are driving through central park in a hurry

BOY
We’re not meant to drive through here

MAN

PETER
Daddy watch out!

The man skids to the side as he hit’s a man and wraps the car around a tree. Both are clearly dead, the man stands – a vampire.

VAMP

FADE TO WHITE.

HARMONY
But that’s all we have, Anya and Xander took the last table for two

END OF PART ONE

EXT – CENTRAL PARK – DAY

Andrew is merrily swinging around the park as Tara watches on in amusement when Andrew is struck with a child’s soccer ball.

KID

ANDREW
It’s okay…here’s your ball back
(looks around)
Where’s your Mommy?

KID
I don’t have a Mommy

ANDREW
Where’s your Dad?

KID

The child points to a tree where a tall man is stood in a trench coat

ANDREW
What is he your uncle?

KID
My protector

ANDREW
That’s nice, well, I have to get back to my friend now so you stick close to your protector you here?

KID
Okay, I’m Peter

ANDREW
Nice to meet you Peter, I’m Andrew

Andrew skips back over to Tara as Peter and his Guardian, discreetly dissolve into the tree.

TARA

ANDREW
Peter

TARA
You know him?

ANDREW
No

TARA
(confused)
Oh…we should, pr-probably get back to the others

XANDER
That I should take her to the most expensive restaurant in a solar radius

CUT TO.

EXT – RESTAURANT – NIGHT

Faith is attempting to walk out in her heels

FAITH
Jones I told you this isn’t my style, I’m more a KFC down round the back of the mattress store kinda gal

JONES
Well, a touch of class never hurt anyone

FAITH
You think I have no class

JONES
You have plenty of class you just, keep it subtle

FAITH
That was also subtle

The two of them enter the restaurant and immediately spot Willow and Tara who are still talking to the others

JONES
Jones, table for…uh, four

HARMONY
Oh, it’s you, there was a little problem with that you see because we still had two seats left we kinda had to give them away…you’re sharing with Anya and Xander.

FAITH
What?

ANYA
What?!

JONES
(to Faith)
Does she have super hearing

FAITH
No, she’s copying me because she’s drunk

ANYA
She’s copying me because she’s drunk

FAITH
Anya’s an idiot

ANYA
Anya’s an idiot

JONES
Isn’t she pregnant

FAITH
To the apparent relief of Xand, no.

JONES
No?

FAITH
Bad sushi

JONES
Oh…

HARMONY
So are you going to share the table or what?

JONES
It’s up to them

HARMONY
(rolls eyes)
Xander, these guys are sharing your table, like it or leave a good tip

Jones gives Faith a questioning look in reference to Harmony, she takes his arm and shakes her head

FAITH
We have to sit here?

ANYA
Why?

FAITH
This may come with heart attack potential but Harmony screwed up

WILLOW
Geez alert the press

HARMONY
Okay do you guys want the news or the bad news

XANDER
You mean the good news or the bad news?

HARMONY
No! Silly!
(pause)
Okay the news is soup of the day, tomato and um, the bad news is, I finish after I tell you this so you’re going to have to sort your own seating out

Harmony starts to walk away and then jets back

HARMONY
Oh yeah, Willow, your table was double booked and you were late so you kinda have to stay with these guys too
(beat)
Have a nice dinner bye!

Harmony skips off happily as Willow, Faith and Tara drop face. Tara, Jones and Xander look at each other in worry.

CUT TO.

EXT – RESTAURANT – NIGHT

ANDREW (O.S)
Hey!

HARMONY
Geez loser, creep much?

ANDREW
Sorry

HARMONY
Whatever, what are you doing here?

ANDREW
Huh?

HARMONY

ANDREW
Implying?

HARMONY

Andrew grabs Harmony by the bag and pulls her behind a tree

HARMONY
Watch it munchkin! Jeez what’s your deal?

ANDREW

HARMONY
Big whoop I saw a plate today, what’s your point?

ANDREW
Don’t you think he’s creepy?

HARMONY
Well duh he’s a ghost

ANDREW

HARMONY

ANDREW

HARMONY

EXT – CENTRAL PARK – NIGHT

Harmony and Andrew both dressed head to toe in black, pop their heads round the side of the gate and look around carefully.

(We move across to see several people walking dogs and such like)

HARMONY
Damn it!

ANDREW
Relax, we’ll come back later

HARMONY
Not that doofus, I’m hungry

ANDREW
Oh, well, there’s a burger bar over there

INT – RESTAURANT – NIGHT

TARA
Well this is nice

ANYA
(Drunk)
It’s not nice Tara, it’s awkward

XANDER

ANYA
Well, let’s face it we all wanted nice romantic evening alone without Faith and without Willow and without each other

FAITH
Yo’ Anya if you’ve got something to say how about you say it

WILLOW
You know, like you do with everything else

TARA

ANYA

(rolls eyes)
Who fancies a dead man’s party?

JONES

ANYA
(to Jones)
Me, you, Tara back to mine for a few drinks

FAITH
I died too

ANYA
For like a minute, that doesn’t count

FAITH
You didn’t even die

ANYA
I was close!

FAITH
Not close enough

ANYA
Xander are you going to let her speak to me like this?

XANDER
So, Jones – you know how girls like to go to the toilet in pairs?

JONES
Right there with ya

Jones gets up and leaves, Xander pauses for a moment

XANDER
That sounded really gay
(beat)
Care to join us Tara

TARA
T-toilet sounds good

ANYA
Now see what you did, you both scared them away

WILLOW
Us? You sure it wasn’t you and your drunken stupor?

ANYA
You know what?

FAITH
Not really but I’m sure you’re about to reveal all

Anya slams her hands on her hips as she stands up, immediately toppling over in a drunken state. Willow and Faith try not to laugh.

ANYA
Crap!

Anya places her hands on the table to pull herself up

ANYA
Oh god! You made me break my ring!

WILLOW
Made you?

FAITH
Don’t think the chips the issue right now ladies

All three stand back as everyone in the restaurant literally freezes to the spot, with the exception of the girls.

A pale blue smoke comes up from the ring and sets in the shape of a woman.

WILLOW
That’s new

CUT TO.

EXT – CENTRAL PARK – NIGHT

Harmony and Andrew are stood by the tree holding candles in front of them

HARMONY
So what’s with the candles because fire makes me kind of nervous

ANDREW

HARMONY

WILLOW

WOMAN/QUEEN

FAITH
What are you and do you know how much you’re paying for that meal?

QUEEN
You think you can take me?

FAITH
Dude, I’m the slayer

QUEEN
One of many

FAITH
The ONLY one

The Ice queen raises her hand towards Faith and shoots her across the room with shatters or ice

ANYA
Hey!

Anya begins to batter the queen with her purse

WILLOW
Anya! Stop it!

The queen turns to Willow and smacks her across the restaurant

CUT TO.

ANDREW
Okay, people who were here before…

HARMONY
Pete and Billy

ANDREW
Billy?

HARMONY
I told you they live in the tree

ANDREW
I know that!
(ignoring)
People who live in the tree, come out

Nothing.

HARMONY
You think that was gonna work?

ANDREW
Shut up Harmony!

The two of them begin walking off as a flash of lightning smacks down and crashes the tree to the ground

HARMONY
Nice job Andrew!

ANDREW
I didn’t do that

HARMONY
Should we put that fire out?

ANDREW
We should run…

HARMONY
Good plan

The two begin scattering off as Pete and Billy appear from the tree holding hands, both wave and say thank you as they fade away.


CUT TO.

INT – RESTAURANT – NIGHT

The Ice queen has frozen Faith, Anya and Willow solid as Harmony and Andrew enter.

HARMONY
Forgot my wages…hey!

She stands opposite the Ice queen

HARMONY
Excuse me

Harmony begins to storm over to her but she trips over a fallen table cloth and knocks a candle straight onto the table setting on fire and melting the Ice queen down.

TARA
You think it’s…
(looks around)
safe…

ANYA
Xander where did you get my ring from?

END OF PART THREE

INT – CAR – MORNING

Willow, Tara, Andrew and Faith are packed into the car as Harmony pulls faces by the window.

Andrew looks out the window as Pete and Billy both wave him goodbye
CUT TO.

INT – FAITH’S APARTMENT – DAY

The door is hanging off it’s ledges, the table is smashed and the windows are broken, the furniture is turned over and glass carpets the floor.

DARREN
Hello?

Darren walks in, closely followed by Jamie.

DARREN
Dawn?

He looks over past the table where he sees Dawn lying, out cold, blood across her face.

DARREN
Dawn!
