Basic Premise: What if The Scooby Gang were the bad guys?


"So why do they call themselves the Scooby Gang?" 

Faith and Spike were walking through one of the local graveyards on 
the way back to Faith's home. With Joyce and her 'family' running 
around Wesley felt it wasn't safe for anyone of them to be alone. 
Spike had volenteered to take Faith home.

"Not sure really." Spike said simply, "Its a pretty recent thing. 
Probably Zeppo's idea. He always did have a thing for the odd."

Faith smiled at the vampire, "You miss them, don't you?"

"A little." Spike said sadly, "I just can't go back."

Faith nodded, "Do you think they'll try to open the Hellmouth?"

"No." Spike paused, "That's the one thing I know they won't do."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because it's not thier style. Joyce loves humanity. Hell she lives 
for it. Well I guess the better thing to say is that she lives on it. 
Joyce is very intelligent considering the time she was born into. 
Hell she'd be very intelligent even now. " Spike paused, "I told you 
she was an art dealer, right."

"Yeah." 

"Well what I didn't tell you is that she dealt in stolen art. It was 
the only way to get back her kid."

"You never told us what her kid's name was....is....or was."

Spike smiled, "Well her given name was Anne Summers but everyone calls 
her Buffy."

"Buffy?" Faith smiled.

"Yeah I know. " Spike paused, "But don't let the name fool you. 
Buffy is deadly and only semi-sane."

"What about Ripper?"

Spike frowned, "Ripper was a run of the mill hoddlum. A tough guy 
who didn't care about anyone or anything. He had come from a well to 
do English family but wanted none of it. Joyce fell for him right 
off. "

"So she turned him."

"Big time. " Spike paused, "Joyce loves to play games with her prey. 
When she is about to turn you she gives a choice. Live or die."

"And if you pick die?"

"I don't think anyone has."

Faith suddenly stopped walking. 

"What is it Faith?" 

Spike looked around worried and then he sensed what was wrong. 
Vampires and alot of them. He just hoped it wasn't The Scoobies. 

When the group of vampires stepped out of the shadows Spike sighed. 
It wasn't them. Instead it was a bunch of low rent vampires who were 
about to live thier last few moments. Spike had a lot of nervous 
energy and was ready for a fight and from the look on Faith's face she 
was too.

"Five against two. Sounds like fair odds." Faith stuck a stake in 
one of the vampire's heart.

"Just the way we like it, pet." Spike hit another of the vampires in 
the nose and then flipped him over his head and staked him.

"I love it when you call me pet." Faith through a peice of wood she 
found under a bench at a female vampire and watched as she turned to 
dust.

"Then I have to do it all the time." Spike kicked the fourth vampire 
in the croch and then threw him against a wooden pole that just 
happened to be in the right place.

Spike and Faith stopped fighting and stared at the last remaining 
vampire. None of them spoke. Spike could smell the vampires fear and 
smiled ferrily.

"You want him?" Faith asked.

"Nah have fun." 

Faith smiled and then pounced on the vampire who ran in the other 
dirrection. It didn't take long for Faith to turn him to dust. When 
she got up she smiled seductivly at Spike and then took out a ring 
from her pants.

"What's that?" Spike asked.

"It belongs to Harmony." Faith dropped the ring on a pile of dust.

"Why do you always let her take the credit?" Spike asked.

"She's the slayer." Faith said simply.

Spike just shook his head, "If any of the demons found out she 
couldn't kill a mouse she'd be dead within an hour."

"That's why they can never find out."

"Why?"

"She's the slayer." Faith said again.

Spike shook his head again and for the hundreth time since he had run 
into the group wonderd what crazy force of nature had made Harmony a 
slayer instead of Faith. 

As Faith continued to make her way home Spike whispered to himself., 
"No pet, you are the slayer. She's just a cheap immitation"
