Seventh Slay [Video] Hit me with your best shot. Fire away!

[Buffy is clearly at the gym. She has her hands wrapped and she is taking out her frustration on the punching bag. Her breath is coming in little puffs and there's a sheen of sweat on her skin so she's been at this for a while now]

I [punch]

should [punch]

have [punch]

known [punch]

he's [punch]

a jerk [very hard punch that makes the bag swing perilously on its chain]

way [steady the bag and punch]

too [punch]

pretty [punch]

not [punch]

to be [punch]

[She rests a moment, contemplating the camera.]

Plus. My luck. Not the greatest romantically if you know what I mean.

[and then a flurry of kicks that yes...yes that would be Buffy killing the punching bag. It swings wildly on it's chain then snaps and hits the floor with a thud]

Oops

Seriously? We're using that as a barometer? Because he's my friend. Why live with Hardison? Do you want to shack up with him?

I do! But you drive me insane!

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

What?? It's a decent barometer. He's a guy! You should live with girls!

Yeah? Well you drive me batty too.

It's a--nevermind. [The idiocy almost reaches the heights she's used to living with a couple hundred teenage girls] You're so going to feel like a jackass when you meet Tarrant. Also, Hello. My name is Buffy is and Eliot I've had sex with a girl. So really you're just gonna have to trust me.

I'm being good!

You know if you already had boyfriends then you should've told me before we got all involved... yesterday.

No you're not. Sickin' your friends on me when I didn't do anything wrong.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I don't have boyfriends! No boyfriends. At all. Not here. Ex-boyfriends would be a--yes

Seriously? You actually think Xander listens to me? Only when I threaten to beat him and make him watch hours of ice skating movies. Also? He's trying to help

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Everyone thinks I'm the one who needs help. What the fuck? Just move out, Rocky.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

No one thinks--okay so everyone thinks you need help but where exactly am I going to move? In with you and Hardison? How's that better? Also, I can't leave Tarrant and Alice.

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Yeah you can. Just break free. Tell him you're seeing someone else.

...someone better...

You can move in with me and Hardison. Hardison won't mind. And if he does, I'll make him not mind.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Eliot...trust me. This is not a matter of breaking free. Tarrant is not making me live there and I am NOT seeing Tarrant.

No Hardison probably won't mind. That's not the point.

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

That is the point. He won't mind. So just... leave Tarrant.

...I'm not gonna say please.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Eliot. He. Is. My. Friend. That's all. Just like Hardison is your friend.

I don't expect you to say please.

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Fine. You know what? You choose your 'friend'. then he can have you.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

So what? That's how it is? What if I make you choose between me and Hardison? We can both have friends, Eliot. That's how it works. And by the way just so you know we are not talking sex friends. No sex friends will be had of either gender on either side. My best friend here is a guy, Xander. My other best friend, Willow, is gay! If she shows up do I not to get to be friends with her either? Or are we just fighting over Tarrant here?

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Didn't say you couldn't have friends. I said come live with the guy who loves you so there's no confusing the whole damn thing. But you won't. So that's that. Have fun... doing whatever it is you do with him.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

No you said leave the guy you think I'm cheating on you with. There is a difference, Eliot.

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

I told you to quit sleepin' with him and come sleep with me! What's so hard about that?

Forget it.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I was NEVER SLEEPING WITH HIM. I can absolutely, honestly without a doubt say you are the only guy I have ever slept with IN the City. That is the point. Do you really trust me so little that you think I would cheat on you? Seriously?

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Yep. Seriously.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Wow.

You know what? Really, I think you're right. This is over but it has nothing to do with Tarrant. It's got everything to do with you.

[Voice]

[a-bad-guy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's all me. Whatever you say, darlin'.
