** First Day on Set**

"Please sit here Miss Dushku, I'll go tell Joss you're here."

Eliza plopped down into the chair closest to the door. She sighed, and propped her head on her hand.

After a few minutes, the door opened. Eliza stood, and looked towards the door.

Joss came walking through. "Eliza! My dear, how are you?"

Eliza smiled sweetly, and went forward to hug the man. "I'm fine Joss. How are you?"

Joss smiled and shrugged. "Well... I work too hard, and my cholesterol is way too high, but other than that... I'm OK."

Eliza wrapped her arms around his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her waist as they started to walk toward the set.

Joss smiled, and turned his head toward Eliza. "So you ready for this, it's not gonna be easy…"

Eliza looked around, gave a big sigh, and smiled brightly at Joss. "I don't think I'm more ready, honestly."

He laughed, and patted her shoulder. "Good, good. Ok right then, today I'm just gonna give you the script to go over. Read it, practice it, learn it. Your trailer is outside. Your also more than welcome to watch us shoot for today."

She smiled, and took her script. "Thank you, but I think I'll be busy enough."

"That's what I like to hear." He turned and started shouting. "Alright everyone Miss Gellar will be here any minute, lets have all the props ready, o and…"

Eliza turned and started walking to her trailer. She cautiously approached the humongous trailer.

She double checked the door. He name was on it. She ran to the door, and quickly opened it. Her mouth dropped in awe.

There was a huge TV, a big fridge, 3 beds, an entertainment system. Shit this was better than her own house.

She pulled out her phone, and quickly dialed her best friend Kacie's number.

"Hey EEEEE!!"

"What's up Kace… dude you have to see this fuckin shit! It's flippin crazy!"

"What are you talkin' about E?"

"I'm talking about my trailer on set. It's awesome, it's better than my house Kace. Come over, we'll get drunk and you can help me rehearse my lines."

"Alright… will you be there after 8?"

"Oh yeah I forgot you were workin… yeah just come after."

"K see ya babe!"

"Lata!"

She sat down on the couch, and pulled out the script.

She just began reading, when she heard a commotion outside. She got up, and peeked through the window.

She saw a blonde girl and a redhead laughing together. "Better go introduce myself…"

Eliza pulled on some faded jeans, and a band t shirt. She grabbed her phone, and shoved it in her back pocket.

She opened the door, and stepped out of the trailer.

"OWWW!"

Eliza jumped back, wide eyed. "Hello?" She got off from the ground, and looked behind the open door.

The dark headed guy on the floor was holding his forehead. "Shit that hurt!"

"O I'm so sorry!" Eliza ran to help the guy up. "Are you Ok?" The guy started blushing, and ran his hand through his hair.

"Yeah I'm cool… just a bump."

Eliza held out her hand for him to take. He took it, and she helped him up.

"Sorry about that, I didn't see ya coming." The guy laughed, and shrugged it off.

"No biggie, I have a hard head. I'm Nick… also known as Xander." He held out his hand for Eliza to shake.

Eliza smiled. "Nice to meet ya Nick, I'm Eliza… also known as.."

"Faith right?" He blushed, and looked down. "I've been reading up on your character. I would be lying if I told you I wasn't really excited about you being on the show."

Eliza smiled. "Thank you Nick, I'm really glad to be here. I can't wait to get started."

They stood there in silence. "Well hey! You wanna tour of the set?"

"Hell yeah, that's what I was just setting out to do. Lets go!" Eliza locked arms with Nick, and they started walking.

"Now this... This is the buffet table." Nick walked forward, and grabbed a plate. He turned towards Eliza. "Come on dig in."

Eliza smiled, and held her stomach. "Nah I just ate. But you go ahead, Ill just go wander around."

She started walking around the set. She was wandering for a good 10 minutes when she heard two strong laughs.

Curiosity got the best of her, and she followed the laugh. She knelt by a plant, to get closer. She saw the same blonde and red head from earlier sitting on a couch, laughing.

Eliza studied the redhead. ##Nice boobs, like the hair. Cute.## Eliza's eyes then moved her way to the blonde. ##Beautiful eyes, cute nose, perfect mouth, blonde. Eliza likes.##

She focused on what they were saying.

"So Sarah, how do you think this new girl's gonna be?"

The blonde ran a hand through her hair, and let her head fall back on the couch.

"I don't know, hopefully... bearable."

The redhead laughed, and started getting up.

"Well this time… just don't make this one cry Sarah."

The blonde laughed, and got up to. "Hey, that bitch deserved it!"

##What a sexy laugh.##

Both girls walked off.

Eliza stood, and started following the girls. Well more in particular, the blonde.

"ELIZA!" She jumped, and turned around. Nick was running towards her.

"Nick, this is the second time you've scared the shit out of me in an hour."

He shrugged. "What can I say, I'm a G."

Eliza laughed. "You loser!"

He laughed. "Come on, I wanna show you something."

They started walking towards the trailers. Eliza could see something under a sheet.

"What's that?"

Nick smiled. "This… this is my baby." He took off the sheet, revealing a black YZF-R6 super sport motorcycle.

Eliza's mouth opened wide, she moved towards the bike. "Nick…. it's fuckin awesome!"

He smiled. "I read on one of your fan sites, you love bikes."

She smiled. "I see, been researching me huh?" She smiled, and moved around the other side of the bike. "Man Nick, this is brand new."

He blushed and smiled. "Well, I figured it might keep me busy. So… what kinda bike you have?"

She smiled, as she inspected the bike. "I have a Red Honda RTV."

He smiled. "Cool. So you wanna drive it?"

Eliza screamed and gave him a hug. "YEA, give me them keys boy!" She took the keys, and mounted the bike. She took the helmet, and put it on. She flicked up the visor. "Let me show you how to drive this thing…"

She flicked it back down, and revved the engine. She zoomed off.

Just as she sped off, Sarah came outside.

"Nick who's that?"

He smiled, and blushed. "Eliza…"

"Oh the chick thats suppose to play Faith?"

He blushed again. "Yeah."

Sarah smiled when she saw him blushing. "You like her don't you?"

Nick looked away and blushed. "No I don't!"

She laughed, and pinched his cheek. "Aww Nick has a wittle crush!!"

He laughed. "NO I DON'T….. Ok maybe I do."

She smiled, and looked at the coming in motorcycle. "Good for you Nick."

The bike stopped, and Eliza dismounted the bike. She took off the helmet, and made her way to Nick and the blonde.

Sarah felt butterflies as the brunette approached her.

Eliza fumbled with her words. "Hi I'm Eliza."

Sarah smiled, and unfolded her arms to shake her hand.

"I'm Sarah.. ya know Buffy.." Sarah rolled her eyes. She was tired of being known as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That's all anyone ever knew her as.

Faith folded her arms. "Not just Buffy... I loved you in 'Cruel Intentions'."

Sarah laughed. "It's Ok Eliza, I'm cursed to be known, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Not that it's bad, but it gets tiring."

Eliza smiled. "I'm serious Sarah, I only watched Cruel Intentions cause you were in it. You're a good fuckin actress. Seriously."

Sarah looked at Eliza thoughtfully. "Thank you Eliza, that really means a lot."

Eliza smiled. "No problem Sarah."

They both just stood there staring at each other.

Nick cleared his throat. "Well Eliza, Sarah… I have to go, I'll see both of you tomorrow."

"Bye Nick."

"Bye Nicky."

Sarah smiled at the nickname Eliza gave Nick. At the same time, she was kinda jealous. She wanted a nickname.

"So I was reading over the script, looks like we don't really like each other huh?"

Eliza smiled, and sat down on the curb. "I don't see it that way."

Sarah smiled, and sat beside her. "Well how do you see it?"

Eliza looked at Sarah briefly, and then shoke her head. "Nahh never mind, you're gonna think I'm crazy."

Sarah laughed, and nudged Eliza with her shoulder. "No come on, I'm interested."

Eliza smiled, and started playing with her hands. "Ok well, there definitely is something there."

Sarah smiled. "What do you mean by something?"

"In normal terms… they so want to fuck each other."

Sarah busted out laughing, and opened her mouth in shock.

"Nah Uh! Eliza you perv!"

Eliza laughed. "No seriously Sarah, can't you see the chemistry. You'll see."

Eliza wiggled her eyebrows at Sarah. Sarah smiled but couldn't help but notice that the butterflies in her stomach were growing. Growing rapidly.

"Come on Buffy lets go inside." Eliza got up, and held out both hands for Sarah to grab.

"Alright evil Faith."

Eliza smiled, and helps Sarah up. Both equally confused about each other as they walked in the studio together.
