TEASER
FADE IN-
EXT. PARK – LOS ANGELES – NIGHTFALL
SPOTLIGHT ON SPIKE and DREW standing under a great oak tree. The vampire is dressed in black leather pants and a black shirt. And the Watcher is wearing jeans and a black shirt.
DREW: “How do you think they’re doing?”
ZOOMING OUT to reveal three young girls fighting against two vampires. The first girl [a petite redhead in a black outfit] dodges a blow and tackles one of the vampires. The second one [a tall slender raven haired in jeans and a blue shirt] hold the other in a tight grip while the third girl [a curvy brunette in jeans and grey blouse] pummels on his face.
RAVEN HAIRED GIRL: “Stake him, Maya!”
Maya: “Then hold him still, Milla!”
ANGLE on the two of them as MILLA takes a stronger hold on the struggling demon and MAYA whips out a take – which she drives into the vampire’s heart. As the dust settles they look over at their sister slayer who’s still rolling around on the ground with her opponent.
MAYA: “Need any help, Chloe?!”
CHLOE: [muffled] “Kind’a.”
The CAMERA FOLLOWS the two girls as they run over to their friend and joins in on the fight against the remaining demon.
Then PANNING OUT and FOCUSING on Spike and Drew as they stare at the spot where the girls are struggling with the vampire.
MILLA: "Grab his legs!"
MAYA: "I got him!"
CHLOE: "Who has a stake?"
MILLA: "Watch it!"
CHLOE: "Owww!"
PAUSE.
A CLOSE UP on Spike’s expression. He looks positively amazed.
SPIKE: “I’m strongly suspicious that we’re dealing with fools.”

INT. BOARDROOM – GILES HIGH – TIME UNKNOWN
A CIRCULAR SHOT of the room to reveal FRED standing in front of the table, eying the group sitting behind it. There’s DREW, RAINE, SPIKE, LILY ROSENBERG and RIVER.
SPIKE: [to Raine] ”You seem unhappy. I like that.”
RAINE: “Well, what did you expect? I hate meetings!”
DREW: “’s not like you’re the only one. I was supposed to be playing golf now!”
RAINE: [sarcastically] ”Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.”
FRED: “Ahem.”
RAINE: ”This place sucks - and not in a good way.”
SPIKE: “Totally agree.”
FRED: “Ahem.”
DREW: “It’s a perfect day for golf…”
RAINE: “Oh, shut up about the golf, will ya?!”
FRED: “Ahem!!”
DREW: [focusing on Fred] “Can I get you a glass of water? Or antibiotics?”
ANGLE on Fred as she rolls her eyes.
FRED: [patiently] “Do any of you have the slightest idea why you’re here?”
RAINE: [furrowed brow] “I thought it was a meeting about some new threat.”
DREW: “No, Raine. I think it was about the itinerary.”
RAINE: [frown] “What the hell do we have to do with that?”
LILY: “Wasn’t it something regarding magic?”
SPIKE: [snort] “None of the above you nitwits.”
DREW: “Hey!!”
FRED: “Ahem.”
RAINE: “Who’re you calling a nitwit, you…”
[Incoherent bickering]
FRED: [harsh voice] “Shut the fuck up!”
SILENCE.
WIDE SHOT of the room as all heads turn in unison to look at Fred – each and one of them with different degrees of shock and awe.
