“I still don’t see why I have to baby-sit the psycho Slayer,” Cordelia whined, loud enough for Faith to hear.
“Cordelia, we’ve gone over this repeatedly. We need Faith to help us solve a case, please don’t ask again,” Angel begged.
“Don’t you remember how she tortured Wes? How she tried to kill you?”
”Yes, but she’s trying to find redemption now. Don’t you remember that?”
”Fine, whatever, but if she tries anything, she’s out of here.”
”I understand that, Cordy.”
Cordelia let out an exasperated sigh as the ensouled vampire left her apartment. As she turned to face the brunette Slayer, she could understand the necessity of having the Slayer working with them, nut she didn’t like having to house her for the duration. Especially when the former cheerleader saw Faith going through an orange coloured folder that had been sitting on top of her coffee table.
”Give me that,” Cordelia demanded.
”What is this?” Faith asked as she ignored the command.
”It’s none of your business, now hand it over!”
”Why does it always seem to always rain on me?” Faith read from one of the sheets of paper.
”It’s a script, if you must know,” Cordelia replied before snatching the folder out the Slayer’s hands.
“For what?”
”For none of your business.”
”Ah come on Cordelia, I know I am not your first choice for a houseguest, but I’m gonna be here for a while. Shouldn’t we try to get along, even if it’s just for Angel’s sake?”
Cordelia took a deep breath as she looked at Faith; it was just like the other woman to bring up Angel. It seemed that Faith always seemed to be able to read her like a book, and always hurt her with the men that she had feelings for.
”Well hopefully you won’t be here for too long,” Cordelia icily replied.
“We can play this two ways. All hostile and at each other’s throats or we could try to get along for a few days. What’s it gonna be?” Faith asked as she folded her arms on her chest.
”It’s for a commercial for a big department store’s spring campaign,” Cordelia finally relented as she realized the sense in the Slayer’s words.
“Kinda deep for a commercial, ain’t it?
”You obviously didn’t read the whole thing.”
”Nah, you took it away before I could.”
“Well I am not going to give it back, you’ll have to wait until my grand debut,” Cordelia replied.
”Huh?”
”When the commercial airs on TV.”
”Oh, okay,” Faith said as she looked around the apartment, “Got anything to do?”
”You could help me read my lines,” Cordelia offered as she held up the folder, deciding that she didn’t want Faith messing around in her apartment.
”Okay.”
”This doesn’t change anything between us, you know that, right?” Cordelia asked.
“Yeah I get that, I am not that dumb.”
She looked at the Slayer and was unsure of what to say to her. There was a lot of bad blood between them, but Cordelia felt something for Faith. It wasn’t pity of even friendship, but it was a kinship of sorts for someone else who had been forced to live in Buffy’s shadow. Maybe Angel was right to give her a second chance, but Cordelia wasn’t too sure. And it wasn’t really her style to get all introspective, so she smiled at the other woman as she handed her the script. There were too many mixed emotions between them anyhow and Cordelia felt safer if she didn’t look at them.
“Earth to Cordelia,” Faith jokingly said as she waved a hand in front of the other woman’s face.
“What?”
”I thought we’re gonna do these lines for your commercial?”
”Yeah, I got distracted.”
”Was it a vision?” Faith asked, the concern evident in her voice.
“No, not one of those. Here you can be the announcer, okay?”
”Sure,” Faith replied.
