This Year's Girl
[S4.15 : W/T.5]
 

Cool Monster Fighter  

Tara's inching her way closer to meeting the Scoobies and comes 
out of her room to help Willow look for the freshly awakened Faith. Maybe she can stop her dead with one of those adorable smiles, the one with the half smirk is a killer.


INT. COMMONS - DAY

Willow and Tara enter the commons, blending in and looking around 
at the same time. Willow's checking the milling college crowd 
for Faith's presence.

WILLOW
Thanks again for coming with.
Hunting a sociopath super-bitch is definitely in the "above and
beyond" department.

TARA
It's okay. Really. So, um, what
do we do if we find her?

WILLOW
Run. Flee. Maybe skedaddle.
We're not here to engage. This is strictly recon.

Tara smiles, trying to hide how amused she is.

 

WILLOW
What?

TARA
You said "recon." You're like,
cool monster fighter.

 

   

 

WILLOW
Well, technically, Faith's not a
monster, and as for fighting? I'd be lucky if I bruise her 
fist with my face.

TARA
Oh.

WILLOW
What?

TARA
Face punching… I'm not good
with the whole…
(punches air)

 

 

WILLOW
Swimming?

TARA
Violence.

WILLOW
Don't worry - we're sure to spot
her first. Faith's like some big cleavage-y 
slutbomb walking around all…
(Faith imitation)
"Check me out, I'm wicked cool,
I'm five-by-five."

 

 

TARA
"Five-by-five?" Five-by-five what?

WILLOW
That's the thing - no one knows.
Buffy can handle Faith. And you're plenty safe with me.

Tara nods, believing it.

TARA
So… we "recon" 'til nightfall?

WILLOW
(nods)
Then the ritual hiding begins.

Willow walks out of frame, still looking. Tara follows.
