Return To Me
by KC Hights
Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Faith and Buffy belong to Joss. Stuff about Sarah and Eliza are purely fictional. It's a fanfic after all. Don't sue me.
Spoilers: Um, nothing really. Sarah's wedding to Freddie if you haven't heard about it yet.
Note: Eliza refers to Sarah by her last name, Gellar. Don't ask me why. I think I've read some fic long ago that used Gellar, oh yes, I remember, "as the set turns" by MissK. MissK you rule!! Now I'm gonna go with MissK with the name thing. I don't have a beta reader; therefore, all mistakes belong to me. Who wants to volunteer? Please oh please!! *begs*
Dedication: OTBuffyNFaith. You know who you are. I've missed you all. To Piper, for putting my old fanfics on her site. To Mal, you'll always have a place in my heart.
Feedback: Yes please. I haven't been writing anything since a year ago. I'd like to return to fandom, hence the double meaning with the title.

[On Screen – Zooming in on a Busy Street in Sunnydale]

Camera focused on Buffy as she made her way across the street, searching for someone in the noisy crowd. Then she stopped on the spot, half way between traffic, at the moment she saw those familiar dark eyes staring back at her.

And for a split second, time seemed to have stopped with them.

Buffy slowly approached the younger slayer until she came face to face with Faith.

"Hey.." Buffy said.

"Hey there yourself B," Faith smiled.

"It's been a while." Buffy stated, never breaking their eye contact.

"Yeah…it sure has."

With that the camera zoomed in as Buffy slowly leaned in for a kiss, her lips inches away from Faith's. And Faith closed her eyes, waiting, until…

Sarah: Do I really have to kiss her?

Joss: CUT!!

Eliza: God damn it, not again!

Sarah: What! I just wanted to make sure that we really have to do this. *turns to Joss* Don't you think we're already having too many lesbian scenes?

Joss: I know Sarah, but we need this for the ratings. With us having to move from WB to UPN, we've lost ourselves a bit of fans. Plus, you know how kids are these days, nothing but little perverts wanting to see hot girls kiss on television.

Eliza: *rolls eyes* It's not the kids Joss, it's men, and that includes you.

Joss: *looks caught* Ahem..well, that's not the only reason. It's Buffy and Faith, the chosen TWO! It's supposed to be really romantic for all the female viewers. We're giving the fans what they want. And it's not like you two have never kissed girls before, I mean, *looks at Eliza* you did that Soul Survivor kiss thing with that girl, and you, *turns to face Sarah* you and Salma did win the award for the best kiss.

Sarah: That's cuz the directors were two really immature men who just wanted to see me french salma over and over, again and again. Geez, I probably did more than fifty retakes with that scene. *Pouts* my lips were all bruised up by the end of the day.

Eliza: *Smirks* Ah, now I see what this is all about. Don't worry Gellar, I'll go easy on ya. Here, use this, *takes out Chap Stick from her pocket*.

Sarah: *continues to those sexy lips of hers*

Eliza: *chuckles as she holds Sarah's cheeks and smears some Chap Stick over her lips* There. All good.

Sarah: *smiles back at Eliza*

Joss: Yes yes, Eliza, give her some of that stuff. Now are we all settled? Sarah, are you ready for another take at this?

Sarah: *looks at Joss and nods her head*

Joss: Okay then. Ready? Simon says--- ACTION!

"It's been a while."

"Yeah…it sure has."

Sarah: Wait! Wait! Stop.

Eliza: *fusses* Uurrrrrgh, what now Gellar?

Sarah: I...I dunno...

Joss: Cut! Sarah. How about we take five? Try and do that ritual thing…that you always do….with your hands behind your head thing… and gather yourself together when we get back, okay?

The crew leaves the scene, except Eliza and Sarah.

Eliza: I don't get you Gellar. What's the big deal? It's just a kiss. A kiss. And it's a kiss ON CAMERA. *lights up a cigarette* Great! Now I sure as hell won't be going to Michelle Rodriguez's party tonight.

Sarah: Sorry. *Gives a sheepish look* Wait, what? You're going to her party? *tries not to look jealous*

Eliza: Yeah. Blue Crush opens this Friday, and boy is Michelle ever hot in that film. Hmm..all those bikini babes. I swear Michelle got the hots for me. Diesel caught his own girlfriend checking out my ass more than once at the premiere. Though, come to think of it, damn Diesel must have been staring at it himself to even catch Michelle.

Sarah: *rolls eyes* What's the deal with Michelle Rodriguez. Why is everybody ogling after her all of a sudden? Michelle, urrrgh, what a plain and stupid name is that?

Eliza: Um. You do realize that's the same as your own middle name right?

Sarah: *pauses for a second then* That's so not the point. *fusses* You, you…you just like her cuz she's a slut.

Eliza: Hey! She is NOT a slut. That girl's got style. A little rough on the edges, but damn…that body's just..hot.

Sarah: Oh, is that it? You're saying she's hot and I'm not.

Eliza: *coughs on smoke* ahem, NO. I didn't say that. What's the matter with you Gellar, what are you getting all hung up for?

Sarah: *pauses* I'm not "hung up". I'm just pissed cuz you're putting your oh-look-at-me-im-michelle-rodriguez-and-wow-i-have-a-party-thing in front of work.

Eliza: Woah. Seriously Gellar, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're jealous. I'm guessing Freddie's not putting the big 'O' back in LOVE is he huh? *smirks*

Sarah: *hits Eliza's arm* Don't talk about Freddie like that. He makes me very happy. *pauses* In fact, he makes me so happy that I might just marry him….Yeah, I'll marry him. Ha! How do you like that?

Eliza: *looks slightly surprised and a little hurt* Yeah, whatever, go marry your sissy boy, see if I care.

Sarah: Don't call him that! *looks angry*

Eliza: Fucking SISSY! *stands up against Sarah* What are you going to do about IT, HUH?

Sarah: *gets closer to Eliza's face and screams* Take that BACK RIGHT NOW!

Eliza: MAKE ME! *stares into Sarah's emerald eyes*

Sarah: *gasps and looks at Eliza then crushes her lips against Eliza's just as Joss and the crew returns to the set*

Joss: Oh that's wonderful, girls. I'm glad we got that settled. Now quick, Simon says--- ACTION!

...continued in Surprise...
