Merry Christmas

[Bard]

FADE IN:
INT. SUNNYDALE "“ ANGEL'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
The door opens. Buffy, holding one hand over Angel's eyes, guides him inside his living space. It looks the same as always, except for one thing "“ a homemade Christmas tree.
A four foot tall stake, wide at base and tapering to sharpness at the top, forms the trunk. Single others, in order from largest to smallest, are the branches. The tree is heavy with decoration and includes a set of colorful lights. There is tinsel, garlands, and ornaments. The wood is painted forest green and completes the effect. It is a thing of beauty and deadliness. It looks ready to skewer anyone who so much as thinks to look in its general direction, spiky and ferocious under the holiday spirit wrapping.
Buffy, admonishing gently

BUFFY​

Keep them closed. I know you; no peeking.​

Buffy leaves Angel, closing the door. She goes to the fridge and gets out a Tupperware container and two clear plastic cups. She opens the lid and pours a generous portion of eggnog in each. Angel waits patiently, eyes closed tight.
Buffy comes over and puts a cup in his hand.
Buffy, expansively

BUFFY​

Open and feast on the goodness that is arts and crafts.​

Angel opens his eyes and they are all for Buffy.
Buffy, toasting

BUFFY​

Cheers!​

They drink and then Angel turns to admire the latest addition to his apartment.
Angel, noticing the critical flaw right away, skeptically

ANGEL​

It's a tree made of stakes.​

Buffy, proudly

BUFFY​

Xander made it in wood shop; I painted and decorated. You like?​

ANGEL​

Buffy, it's a tree made of wooden stakes.​

BUFFY​

You are a vampire and I'm a Slayer. It's perfect!​

Angel, pointing at the tree, exasperated

ANGEL​

It's a tree made of pointy wooden stakes!​

Buffy is not seeing the problem with her project.
Buffy, scratching her head, helpfully

BUFFY​

Easy on the spiked eggnog?​

Angel smiles indulgently and side hugs her.
Buffy and Angel, looking at the camera, happy

BUFFY & ANGEL​

Merry Christmas, everyone!​

FADE OUT:​

THE END​

Awwww. Did you make that up? That was so cute.

It is part of the larger thing, but it can't speak its name (moderators be prowling). The most I can mention is that there is a rewrite of the series and even that might bring down the banhammer. To some people, there is only one truth and its name is Joss Whedon.

Just because we didn't allow you to spam our board with thread after thread of "updates" about your personal series rewrite, ESPECIALLY after you were INCREDIBLY rude to me via pm, there is no need for posts like this. If you want to share your fanfic, go ahead, but this board does not exist to do your advertising for you and comments like the above post are completely unnecessary and untrue. We were nice and allowed you to post one thread to tell people about your site - which we don't normally allow; you ruined it for yourself by being a jerk about it.

This is a board for members who want to discuss the shows and CONTRIBUTE to the community, not people who just sign up to pimp their own site.

In the interest of full disclosure, below is the PM (in quotes). This was after both posts were deleted. One was a summer post about a series pilot. One was where it turned into regular show.
I wanted to feature new stories in the fan fiction forum and managed to mess that up without even knowing. I wish you pulled me aside after the first post and explained things and what was allowed and what was not regarding the rewrite. Things really went downhill after the admin actions. And the last thing you need here is 40 pages of script posts, which is the average length of the episode. As for being a smartass, guilty.

"This is for the fans, by the fan of the show, and it is not for profit. That is by design, so I don't get sued into poverty by copyright holders. Did not want to step on any toes, just inform people that it was coming. I just want to bring one of my favorite shows back and have new Buffy episodes for them to look forward to. The website is a vehicle for that, nothing more. You would know that if you checked the actual website.
Look, we got off on the wrong foot and I am new here. If you don't want me here, delete my account. Otherwise, would a single entry per episode be acceptable? No links, just telling them it is available and they can go and find it if they want it. Let me know. Thanks."
