When I read the challenge I knew it had to be something BtVS after the finale... because it's the ultimate fresh start.


He counts the seconds, 27, 28 ,29, 30, before she shifts to get up and go.

"Stay..." He says, almost playfully, like it's a dare, his hands encircling her waist.

"You know, you can't stop me." Faith responds.

"I know," he replies, "I'm not trying to force you to stay. Just maybe you could try it."

"I can do, whatever I want."

"You really can... even stay the night instead of dashing off immediately after sex."

"I let you buy me dinner." Faith argues, like that should count as much as saving the world. She doesn't leave though.

Robin laughs and brushes Faith's hair out of her face.

She lets him. Inside, she asks herself whether he'd be willing to move to Cleveland. She doesn't say anything though.

She's not sure she wants him to come; she's not even sure she wants to go to Cleveland.

She can go anywhere… even no where at all.

Good job! I love the sense of possibility here, especially in the last line.

Thank You. Buffy-verse post The Gift just screamed that to me and I feel like out of everyone Faith is the character that most needs that Wand energy of change and possiblity. I'm glad I managed to convey that for you.

Very nice! I really like the last line. :)

Thanks. I thought it was appropriate considering when we first meet Faith she's on the run, and that continues to be a pattern for her when things go wrong.

That was sweet.
