It Makes me Sick....
Okay is it some character flaw that I am not seeing here? Somewhere in her gene sequence that just makes her vulnerable to him? I mean I am looking at him.. and well? Not seeing it. Sure I can see the stick girl Fred going for him, I mean he is all bookish, and well so was she. However Faith? Faith the Slayer with all the bad attitude and penchent for murder and reform, but maybe not in that order? There had to be something wrong. Was I taking the wrong Faith's? Did I do something wrong in my calculations where every Faith I brought to my island would be all head over heals into this British guy?
It was enough to make one of my stomachs crawl. I stood there watching them chit chat, all from the privacy of my office. The sale of the first Faith was treating me rather well. I had this nice viewing room to watch my little Castaways... 42 inch Plasma screen all pretty and new, plus I got about a million channels with my TDR, TransDimensionalReceiver, although most times? Not much was on so I found myself watching Newlyweds reruns. Made me wonder if I shouldn't have messed with that first Jessica... I mean she was pretty bright, but I guess when you shift them all over time and creation there is some residual, and now the poor thing was talking about Buffalo Wings.. of course the girl knew not to tell them that she had seen Flying Buffalo's in Mount Tsaruann and I tell you I had quite the laugh with that one.
However I was sick of watching Nick Lachay and flipped to watch the other odd couple. However they were all relaxing and chatting. You know so far my plan had been failing miserably. They were all supposed to be at each others throats, not pairing off like Noah's Ark. It was too much for me to watch. It was bad enough I had to watch one of the best torturers go all wimp and soft over Buffy, let alone a Buffy that was completely illegal in most states and planetary realms. I flipped off the TV and slouched on my new leather couch.
What was I going to do? I mean I had tried everything, I took away her soul, I sold her, replaced her and he still came barrelling along side her waiting to fix her. Maybe that was it. It wasn't her... it was him. I had been replacing the wrong one the whole time, and well I didn't have the time.. nor the energy to do it all over again. They were a lost cause pretty much. So I had to clean up my mess.
I tried to think if there was a way to sell them, but then again she was worth something, and I couldn't think of someone that wanted an out of work Watcher... those guys were nothing but trouble. Then I realized I couldn't really let anyone know that I had messed up... again. I mean I couldn't just try to sell another Faith, for one it would devalue the other one, and I was not about to give a refund.
I tried to think of timelines, whenever he was from was before her... but where she was from wasn't after him... if I placed them anywhere in the continuum I would run the risk of them running into themselves, and sure here? There is non-linear time.. doesn't matter, however have you seen Back to the Future? The fading thing and all that? Yeah... big problems there.
There had to be an easy neat way to get them to just go away. I figured I could research it... so I opened the laptop and started typing away. There had to be a gap.. somewhere in the timeline that I could safely stick them both and not worry about it.
There.... I saw it... it was an odd shift of time most likely created when I took him out in the first place, however this time... since Welsey wasn't there... Faith never showed up.. never tortured her.. never got the help she needed... in fact she never made it to Angel Investigations... Detective Kate Lockley arrested her and she has been in lockdown ever since... in fact, in two years she is getting the Death penalty for her crimes. That might be perfect. No one from the Angel Team knows about Faith, since well.. Kate didn't want to risk them trying to save her, and well.. Wesley wasn't presumed dead. All I had to do was shift them to then.
It was a good thing I had been resting all week, because I was about to try something new. I couldn't really risk shifting them one at a time... it would be too much of a hassle to make sure they ended up in the same spot. So I had to shift the room, with them in it. I would just align their current place to the proper spot in the timeline and make the two rooms merge into one. It would be a neat trick, and if anyone thought to ask where they went? Well it wouldn't be the first time someone got lost on the island. Hell the others might even go looking for them and end up fighting after all! I could kill six birds with two rejects.
So I sat there concentrating, trying to get the room they were in right now, a magickal room, with all the right mystical elements needed for something of this calibre. I closed my eyes and felt the pull of the energy I was going to be using. I felt the timeline bending, weaving around the tales I was telling it. I could feel the two timelines merging and becoming one, it was going to work and they would have no clue what was happening, well with the exception that a door would suddenly appear and the furniture would get dusty.. really quick. After an hour of concentration I was pretty sure I had done it. I flipped the TV back on searching for the Faith and Wes Hour... but all I got was static, because wherever they were... it wasn't here anymore.
