SUNNYDALE HIGH
CAVERN IN BASEMENT>
(we see that the cave is crumbling everywhere, rocks falling and the ground and walls are shaking. The camera pans over to show Spike, arms stretched out and head thrown back, and Buffy, whose back is to us)
SPIKE: Buffy, you need to get out, love. Get out, now!
BUFFY: (tearfully) N-No…you can still make it out! Spike, please!
(camera moves closer to the two)
SPIKE: Buffy, listen to me: I love you. I love you so much, but you need to get out, pet! You need to live!
BUFFY: (whispered) Please…you can’t…I love you
(two tears make their way down her face, and the camera closes up on Spike’s face. He swallows, and tries to smile)
SPIKE: (hoarsely) I love you too, Buffy…luv, take my duster.
BUFFY: What?
SPIKE: Take it off, baby…get my duster off
(Buffy swallows and begins to pull off Spike’s duster. There’s a hissing noise, and we see smoke rise from her hand before she pulls it back. She tries again, and her movements are jerky because she’s trying to ignore the pain. She gets the duster off and holds it in her hands.)
SPIKE: Good…
BUFFY: Wh-what do you want me to do?
SPIKE: Luv…listen to me carefully.
(his mouth begins to move, but we can’t hear what he’s saying, though Buffy can. She shakes her head violently, but he nods. We see him mouth ‘GO’ and she turns and runs, duster and scythe in hand. Behind her, a large piece of rock falls, blocking our view of Spike.)

INSIDE THE BUS AS IT LEAVES THE CITY LIMITS
(we see Buffy in a seat in the back of the bus, holding Spike’s duster to her and crying)
SPIKE VO: Buffy, listen. You NEED to get out of here. You need to live, baby. You’re not the only Slayer anymore; enjoy it. But leave me here. I need to finish this; need to see how it ends…don’t shake your head at me, it’s the only way. Tell everyone…everyone who makes it, tell them I love them. Tell Dawn I love her and forgive her for the fire comment, tell the Whelp…tell him thanks.
(Buffy turns her head to stare out the window)
SPIKE: Buffy, if…no, WHEN you get out of here…take care of yourself, all right? I love you…don’t let anything bad happen to you. When you’re sure you’re out of danger…look in the right bottom pocket of my duster. Please, luv…do this for me…now, GO! Go, before it’s too late.
(Buffy reaches into Spike’s duster pocket and feels around inside. Her hand stops, and she pulls out a small, black, velvet box. Her hands are shaking as she opens it, and then drops it quickly before beginning to sob harshly. The box falls to the ground, still open. The camera closes in on it, revealing a sparkling diamond ring.)
SPIKE VO: I love you…

SUNNYDALE CRATER, DAYTIME
(the camera pans across dirt, and we briefly see the WELCOME TO SUNNYDALE sign before the camera moves again. It stops at a star pattern in the dirt that matches the one that was on Spike’s amulet. All of the sudden, the ground begins to pulse and the dirt cracks. A hand breaks through the dirt…a masculine hand.)
