[shootingstar]

Hey everyone,



earthlovinwicca: Don't worry I should have an update for you guys soon, depending on how busy my weekend is. It's my mums birthday on Saturday, and then i'm out Sunday. Sometimes having a life really gets in the way!



ellie: You love me you really love me?! Yay!



jdcioffi: Hehe, I've learnt not to read fic when other people are around, I'm always reading funny ones and laughing at the computer so people think I'm insane...they're probably right though...



hellmouthhottie20: Ah, the Jubilee (can't spell it either, lol) a great excuse to get drunk! I'm not so into the whole world cup thing...I love football but England really do suck at it. And Big Brother...nooooo I hate it, I've watched it like twice and I can't stand it, it's so boring! Especially the people they have chosen this time, they're all lame.



grimaldi: Hehe, Xander in a dress a very disturbing image!



fidds: I likes your avatar very cool. God, I love Amber *sigh*. I always thought it was funny hearing Tara swear 'cos she doesn't seem like the type of person to do it. Unlikely me who swears all the time...



Anyway hopefully there will be an update before the end of the weekend...



Luv Star

But it is longer than the last few ones...I got carried away with some new plot things but I will definatly try to post it tomorrow if I can't do it in the hour I have now...

Hi



I've been following your storyline since it started but now I'm gonna finally compliment you. Your fic has the most hilarious dialogue. Makes my day. .



The interaction of the characters and though it may be script style, I can imagine the expressions of the characters... sends me into fits of laughter (which makes me look stupid when I'm laughing at the computer monitor)



Can't wait for the updates!

[shootingstar]

I promise an update before the end of the weekend, and I deliver (well Monday but it's close)...I almost didn't get it done for today 'cos I'm feeling quite manky from my thingy on Sunday I haven't slept since Saturday night so I'm kinda tired but hey the party was worth it *wink* I love it...Anyways here's the update...



Title: Out of the Closet

Author: shooting star

Feedback: Yes please, I never notice my mistakes and all comments help. This is gonna be in script format, I find it easier and being a drama student its what i'm used to so...I might swap at some point if this format doesn't work like i want it to

Spoilers: Well none unless you don't know that Tara and Willow are a couple d'uh. Takes place after Who Are You and New Moon Rising doesn't happen ergo Willlow never told Buffy but Willow and Tara are all couple-y

Summary: Well, the story has kinda changed now not to sure what this should say now. Erm, their in a club and stuff is gonna go down in a weird ass way hopefully.

Disclaimers: Joss, ME anyone else who owns them, no matter how hard i try to convince myself i don't own them. And yes i'm ripping off the dialogue

Rating: Haven't a clue, it has kissage and obviously Willows coming out.



                        **********



Hermit Hangout.

Nicoles Lair.



B: Okay, what the frilly heck just happened?

W: (Angry) That biatch just took Tara. I'm going after them.

R: How? You don't even know where she took her.

W: I have to. I can't just...

X: Willow. No. We have research til morning then we can go after your girl.It's just for one night...We promise.



We see Buffy in the background leaning against the wall looking shocked



W: Yeah, I-I know, but ... it's a whole night. I don't think I can sleep without her.

A: You can sleep with me.



Everyone looks at Anya.



A: Well, now that came out a lot more lesbian than it sounded in my head.

B: (comes forward) Will, you be researching anyway, we'll find out about whoever..what whatever Nicole is. Okay? Right now there's nothing you can do except hit the books.

W: There has to be (walks out the door)

B: Where are you going?

W: To Giles'. I'm nnot gonna stand around here and waste more time.



With that Willow leaves, the rest of the scoobies following.



A: Does this mean no sex tonight?



                        **********



Dark Cavern.



We see three shadows lurking on the back wall of what looks to be an underground cavern. They wear long, black robes but appear human in appearance.



#1: Do you think she found her?

#2: Of course. She would not fail us Jones.

J: But there is a rumour that the witch is a friend of the slayer.

#3: The slayer?

#2: No matter. Nicole will succeed and when she does we can make our move.

#3: I don't see why we didn't just take her ourselves Cole.

C: You are young Lars, soon you will learn that there are other people who can do the hard work. Nicole has gone to the trouble of taking the Chosen Witch now we will simply...

Lars: Take her from Nicole.

C: Exactly.



                        **********



We enter a small apartment to see Nicole (in human form) standing by a mirror. She is going through lipsticks



N: Ruby Sunset. (drops it) Burgundy Skyline.(drops it) Harlot. Hmm...now normally I wouldn't be going with a colour this dark, but I read in a magazine that turning into a demon will damage a girls natural skin tone. (applies the lipstick) Good thing pale is in this year.



Cut to Tara sitting on Nicoles bed against the headboard, hands tied behind her back. There's a large bruise on her left cheek close to her eye. She's watching Nicole with worry.



N: I'm going to ask you something and you got to promise you'll be honest, and not spare my feelings just because I can kill you. Do you promise?

T: I p-promise.

N: Good girl. How do I look? (She turns to face Tara.)

T: (pause) Evil.



Nicole isn't angered by this.



N: Hmm. I was shooting for sultry, but hey. Bet I know what you're thinking?

T: Really?

N: You're thinking . . . (dramatically exaggerated voice) 'You'll never get away with this!' Warm?

T: Actually, I was thinking my girlfriend and the slayer are gonna kick your lop-sided ass.

N: (Bored) Really?

T: B-Buffy is going to kick your...(Pauses to think of a good insult) skanky, lopsided ass (Nicole checks out her ass in dismay) back to whatever place would take a (sizing her up) cheap, w-whorish, fashion victim demon-wannabe like you.



At this Nicole rushes up to Tara and slaps her round the face.



T: And here I thought you w-wouldn't have a come back.

N: (Suddenly laughs) You're just trying to make me mad so I'll do something stupid and you can get away (Shot of Tara looking dismayed) Oh, your plan almost worked. But I'm smarter than that. Sit tight sweetheart the games are just starting...



                        **********



Giles Apartment.

Night.



All is silent. Giles is sat peacefully reading a book, sipping his tea. Just as he goes to turn the page over...the Scoobies burst in.



G: (Almost dropping his tea) Dear lord!

B: Giles we need to do some serious research. Have you ever hear of the Chosen Witch?

G: (In awe) The Chosen Witch? Yes, the council would talk about her at great lengths. A legend surpassing time, no-one know who or where this Chosen Witch exists, or if she does exist at all...

B: (Interrupting) She exists alright.

G: You came into contact with her? Buffy are you alright? (Excited) Did you recognise her?Who is she?

B: Yes. Yes. Yes. Tara.

G: (Shocked) Pardon?

W: (Quietly) Tara is the Chosen Witch, and some demon took her.

G: When did this happen?

B: A little while ago.

G: I thought you were going out to the new club.

X: We did.

W: Turns out the owner was a demon.

X: I'm so sorry Will...

W: It's okay, you didn't know. (Turning to Giles) We need everything you have on the Chosen Witch, the rest of us can start looking though for the Nicole.

G: Nicole?

B: Demons human form.

G: Oh



The gang gather books from the shelves and begin to look through them. Giles picks up his phone.



X: Who are you calling?

G: I believe an old friend of mine may have some valuble information. He spent years trying to find out as much as possible about such a witch...



                        **********



Dark Cavern



The three figures are now sat down on a few couches set up in make-shift living room.



L: I still don't see why we couldn't just rent a motel.

C: We can not risk getting caught by Nicole. She can not be aware that we are here. Besides we have all the modern conveniences we could need right here.



In the back ground we hear a phone ring.



J: It's for you.

C: (Smiling) Hello?...Ah Good to here from you again Mr Giles...

[Grimaldi]

loved the last update, very funny. like how you had Nicoloe use parts of Faith's dialogue to Joyce in This Year's Girl (i think that was the ep title) and had Tara use Spike's threat to Glory. those guys that were hiding in that cave are a little creepy, can't wait to find out their connection to Giles.

Oh my god, they killed... oh, nevermind!

I got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but 2 things right now Jack and shit..and Jack left town

Worm, are you ready to die in the cleansing apocalypse?

[jdcioffi]

Nifty updaye! Dude, Nicole is such a Glory! I love it. I love those obsessive demons (or hell-goddesses, take your pick).

Hey, star

I'll wait forever for you. I love this fic (as i think iv told u before, but a long time ago(sorry))

loads of luck for the exams, its a great feeling when they are all over. I had my last one last week and it felt great.

I know what u mean about physics. I had to do physics in my first year at uni. Definetly not my favourite subject. But!!! Im sure u will do great!

Love Lolaxxx

[shootingstar]

Physics...ergh the meer thought of it makes me feel all icky (definalty not my favourite subject either), Chemistry was bad enough, stupid damn science...stupid darn GCSE's! I really can't wait for them to be over, the thing is I really haven't done any revision what so ever for them, which is very bad and probably means I failed miserably



But I'm really excited 'cos I'm going to Reading festival, yay! It's in like a few months but still I'm excited. Any other kittens going?



Hm...I'm wondering about peoples names...the screen names and stuff...'cos I'm working on my new one and I'd like to include lil mentions to people who have been supportive of this story. So anyone feel free to tell me about your names lol.

Well although i hate physics, i do like chemistry. Well i hope i like chemistry seeing as thats what i do at uni. As for the name thing, i chose Lola19 because, well im 19 and my name is Louise. I chose Lola because one night while out with friends we were making fun of our names. No one could think of something funny for my name so they all started singing, " Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl........" U get the picture, hence the name.

Hope u have fun at the Reading Festival Star, Im not going seeing as im all the way up here in Glasgow but i would like to go to T in the Park. Thinking of trying to get tickets, if im not too late already.

Love Louise xxx

[witchbitchwillow]

heya star!

*no candles? well i brought one its extra flamey!*

[shootingstar]

Wow, I'm so looking forward to Reading! It's gonna kick ass! The line-up isn't great or anything but the camping is just gonna be funny! Although I haven't found anyone to share a tent with me my friends are mean...*sob* I got

Okay I finally wrote an update...sorry bout the lateness (but I've been revising like mad for my physics and business studies exams)

Dark Cavern.



We see three shadows lurking on the back wall of what looks to be an underground cavern. They wear long, black robes but appear human in appearance.



J: Why did you tell the slayer and her band of freaks where Nicole is? If they find her they'll find the girl and we won't stand a chance.

C: Always with the questions. Let me lay it out simply for you...slayer go...beat Nicole...save us trouble...we take girl...Are you following or should I draw some diagrams?

J: No sir, I understand.

L: I still don't see why we didn't just take her ourselves Cole.

C: Oh Bloody hell! One more time...(Exasperated) The slayer and her friends will take care of Nicole for us and when they are busy we will take the girl. (Shouting) Do you understand?

L: (Afraid) Yes sir. Sorry.

C: (Muttering to himself) I need better minions.



                        **********

Giles Apartment.

Night.



Giles is still talking on the phone. The others are researching in the living room. Buffy is sat on a chair flicking through a few books, Xander is sat on the floor and Anya is sat on the couch with Willow fast asleep laying her head on Anyas shoulder.



G: (On the phone) Yes, that's extremly helpful thank you...Bye.



Giles hangs up and heads towards the rest of the Scoobies.



G: We have a lead...

W: (Indidcating to a sleeping Willow) Shhh!

G: Oh, terribly sorry.

B: So what's the lead?

G: Nicole has been in town for two weeks. Cole, my aquaintance, has been following her for quite a while. He believes she is located somewhere over by Elliola Street.

X: That's the one over by main right? (Giles nods) It's not far.

B: Great (Stands up) What's the plan?

X: Plan Sman. I say we mount up.

G: No. We can't just go in 'all-guns-out'

B: (Dumbly) We don't have guns...do we? (Angrily) Are there guns Giles? 'Cos you know how I feel about guns, people get killed and it's just completely stupid and un-nessecary and...

G: It's just an expression

A: Even I know that!

B: (ignoring Anya) Well that's good. No guns, no need to worry about stray bullets...



On the couch Willow begins to wake-up. She opens her eyes and sees Anya smiling down at her...



W: (Awkwardly) Um...hey, sorry about the whole falling asleep on you thing.

A: That's okay (Proudly) I said you could sleep with me.

W: Thanks. Did we find anything?

G: Actually we did.

W: (Suprised) We did?

B: A friend of Giles' thinks he knows where Nicoles been hiding out. You up for a little violence, mayhem and chaos?

W: Wouldn't be a Scooby night out with out it! (Seriously) I think I need to be alone for a little while though before we head off in to battle. You know clear my head a bit?

B: I understand...Do you want me to come with you?

W: (Smiling) I'll be okay thanks



Willow steps outside and closes the door behind her.



G: How is she doing?

B: Not so good.

G: I guess that's understandable. We should get going soon. (Sarcasticly) I fear an attack during daylight may draw some unwanted attention.

B: Ya think?

G: Buffy I need you to collect some weapons, a couple of crossbows and some axes should do.



Buffy walks over to the weapons chest and begins rummaging thorugh pulling out various the weapons.



B: Do you think she'll have, like, minions?

G: It is possible, but are main objective is to get Tara and stop Nicole, with the leader out of the picture it's probable that any followers will disperse.

B: (Finishing collecting the weapons) Great so take out main threat, sounds easy enough.

X: Way to jinx it Buffy!

B (Slapping a hand over her mouth) I can't believe I said that.

A: We're doomed.

G: (Exasperated) Yes, that's exactly the right attitude to take.

B: I'm gonna go get Willow.



Buffy slips out and returns a few moments later with Willow.



X: Ready to kick some evil ass?

B: Lets do this.



                        **********

Dark Cavern.



The three robed evil-doers are walking around in what looks like an organised manner.



C: So is everyone clear on the plan? We follow the slayer into Nicoles lair then stay in the shadows. If she sees us it's all over.

J/L: Yes sir.

C: (Looking at his watch) It's time.

J: I have the weapons...just in case.

C: Hopefully they won't be needed.



With that the three men leave the cavern.

Excellent.

I love the way you got about "stray bullits" in there, like buffy said guns are bad.



Poor sweet tara, i miss her. You write anya so well, iam told butt kissing will get me everywhere, so you cant leave us hanging to long

I hope your exams are going well.

I remember those days and i hated them and i was a (geek)



Caz

So what if my grades are lousy, you always said its not what you know its who you know.

[Grimaldi]

great update



loved the bit about Buffy's feelings about guns, you'd think that Buffy would learn about saying things like take out the main threat sounds easy enough, those robed guys are creeping me out

Dude, we're surrounded by perverts!

Worm, are you ready to die in the cleansing apocalypse?

[shootingstar]

I'm on a roll, two updates close to each other *shock* but this one is pretty short. (Hmm, that phrase is so strange....'On a roll' see now I'm imagining myself dancing on top of a ham roll. be afraid, be very afraid...)



*Ellie* - Thanks sweetie, no need to worry about Tara. *I* wouldn't hurt her like ME did, grrr to them!



*Fidds* - Thanks, well here is the next update since I was feeling all productive...



*Caz* - (Can I call you Caz?) Ah, the stray bullet line had to be done *g*. I miss Tara to she was my favourite character *sob* I miss Faith to...Oh, my exams finish on Tuesday! Yay! I really hate exams as I'm not that clever and I just have no attention span to revise. And yes butt kissing will get you everywhere...



*Grimaldi* - Thanks, I think robed guys or people with masks are always scarier, like in Jeepers Creepers the guys was so scary till he took off his coat thing.

Nicoles Lair



We hear some music playing off screen, gradually the volume increases and we pan over to Nicole turning up the volume on her stereo.



N: I love this song! Don't you just love this song?

T: (Sarcasticly) Oh yea, gosh it's great!

N: (Upbeat) I know you're being sarcastic but I don't care. This song rocks!



Nicole begins to dance around the room to the opening bars of music then proceeds to sing along, loudly and off-key...



I'm a slave for yooooou



T: (Quietly) Oh goddess, kill me now.

N: (Stops singing) What did you say?

T: Nothing. (Pause) W-What are you gonna do to me? I mean you w-would have killed me by now if you were going to...

N: Oh! A swing and a miss for the rookie. See, sugar-hunny-babe, it's hard to explain but I'm a demon right?

T: Yes

N: But I wasn't always a demon.

T: (Confused) Okay.

N: Look I know you can read peoples auras and so fourth. You must have sensed my unity or whatever.

T: Yea (off Nicoles look) It grates like something forced where it doesn't belong...b-but it's not possession.

N: Bingo! See a few years ago I made a deal with a warlock to turn me into a demon but it spent a lot of the warlocks magickal energy to do that and now it's pay time. That's were you come in handy!

T: (Confused)You're gonna give me to him?

N: Bingo again! And you're gonna pay my debt.

T: (Terrified) H-H-How?

N: Well I'll save you the nasty little details, but basically he's going to suck the magick out of you.

T: Buffy w-won't let...

N: Ah the slayer! See, I'm not really all that scared of Slutty the vampire slayer, I mean someone has to talk to her because that name is striking fear in no-ones heart!



Nicole moves to sit on the edge of the bed Tara is sat on.



N: Don't worry if it's any conselation...I really like those boots.

T: Why?

N: Well they are very shiny and a very nice style...

T: No I mean, why did you become a demon?

N: You are a smart one!



Nicole stands and begins to pace the length of the room.



N Almost sadly) When I was human I lived with my mum in this great house, in this great life everything was the way it should be. But when I turned eighteen I started getting really sick all the time and my mum took me to the doctors and I was told I had cancer. But see I wasn't going to let myself end up...So I made a deal.

T: I'm sorry

N: I'm not. I mean I get super-strength and I didn't have to go through the illness...It's better this way.

T: How can being a d-d-demon be good?

N: You wouldn't understand.

T: Maybe n-not (To herself) yet anyway.

N: (Checking her watch) This has been a really sweet talk and all but we have a schedule to keep. Warlock is going to be here soon, then things will really get interesting.



                        **********

Ellola Street.



We see the Scoobies all armed with weapons. Xander and Anya with crossbows, Giles and Buffy axes and Willow carrying an arrangment of magickal supplies.



B: So where did this guy say it was again?

G: Well, he was rather vague.

B: But we know it's on this street right?

G: (Embarressed) Well she has been sighted here, and Cole has been watchingher comings and goings but he has never been able to track her closly enough to get the exact house.

W: (Urgently) But we'll never find it this road has hundreds of houses!

B: Don't exagerate Will. (Determindly) We will find her.

A: We've told you over a million times don't exaggerate. (To Xander excitedly) Was that a well timed joke?

X: (Lying through his teeth) Yes An, well done.

A: (Happily) Yay! Go team me!

W: Um guys? Less happy, more search-y!

X: Sorry.

G: Okay Xander take the left side with Anya, Buffy and I will take the right side. Willow she if you can do some type of locating spell...

X: Good plan Giles. (Pointing behind him) Or we could follow those scabby looking minion type demons.



The gang turn towards the house the minions are entering.



B: Okay guys. Game faces, we're going in.



TBC...
