Rides ran, vendors called out for games, and even the giant ferris wheel still spun. And a tall, athletic, fair-skinned woman in her mid twenties and an African-American man in his early thirties got off the park's most recent effort at the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world.The woman was singing the coaster's praises to her companion when she suddenly stopped."Robin, we came out here for fun, right? I mean, the creepy crawlies have been awfully quiet for a town with a Hellmouth. You weren't planning to buy me some cotton candy and then tell me a few pale guys with messed up foreheads had taken up residence here?""No. I think I can safely say that there were no undead involved in my plans for the evening.""Then why is there a girl beating up on a few vamps over there?""You did say she was beating up on the vampires, not the other way around?""Yeah, but even B can have trouble with 3 or 4 unless she's really mad." Faith said, Robin following behind her as they ran to the obscured area between attractions where Taylor and James were fighting four vampires. She picked up a vaguely stake-like wooden object from a souvenier shop as she was running through. "I'll pay for this in a few minutes, I swear." She told a clerk.The young slayer and her watcher were holding their own, but the numbers were giving them a bit of trouble. Still, they were somewhat surprised when half of their opponents turned to dust, but reacted quickly, staking the remainder seconds later."You don't know what went down last spring, do you? You thought your girl was the one and only?" She said, when James had obviously put two and two together."I'm Faith. The vampire slayer." She said anyway."Robin Wood." He added. "Nikki Wood's son, if you're curious." Taylor didn't recognize the name, but James knew quite well who had been the slayer in the late 1970s. "And unless I miss my guess, you're James Caine. The list of watchers that are unaccounted for is pretty short. You were last seen in England, in the company of a young woman, presumably a potential slayer. We thought the bringers had caught up to you, but no one ever found your bodies, so you were on the watch list."[/sblock]</blockquote>
