The nightclub Elite is currently the place to party in town! A long line of club goers wait outside the night club, however, getting impatient. They’ve been waiting a while. At the front of the line, arguing with a bouncer, and being denied entry, is a blonde woman. She’s yelling. She really wants into the club. She does the usual tricks: flicks her hair, thrusts her chest forward – but the bouncer at the door is firm.

“Sorry Ma’am. I can’t help you. No animals in the club.”

The blonde is holding two dogs in her arms. Shiatsu breed, adorable and irresistible, she reckons. But no. The bouncer denies her entry, pushes her back, as Lindsay Lohan and her mother walk past, freely allowed access.

Television celebrity Andy Dick is exiting a limo and entering the venue, and the blonde gets his attention. He likes what he sees and follows the blonde into an alley way. A photographer comes out of nowhere, celebrity hunting, bulbs flashing; the celebrity caught with girl in alley way, already writing itself. The girl turns around.

It’s Harmony Kendall. She’s in full vampire mode, and she’s feeding. On Andy Dick, television personality. The cameras capture it all. The result is instant: hashtags, views, clicks, watches, reactions – you name it, the world of the Internet latches on to it. It’s too late now: the existence of vampires has been officially revealed to the world – and the face of the new vampire craze that is sweeping the world is, of all people, Harmony.

Watching the hits flood in, and admiring her beauty at the same time, Harmony comes up with a plan. She goes to the nearest Hollywood studio and seduces an agent into a vampire bite. She takes enough to give him a high, and Harmony actually starts to get meetings in LA. She even has a wild idea: a reality show called Harmony Bites! – which basically is a party where people get bitten every week. The producers don’t buy her pitch – it’s missing something crucial. It need a villain. Harmony smiles, as she vamps out.

With her they get the hero, with a villain built in.

Then it gets real. There’s a camera crew. They follow her on set, watching her bite people. She doesn’t kill anybody – she feeds until they get the high and then everybody leaves happy. PEOPLE magazine wants an interview. Ad revenue goes through the roof and the studio sees ratings rise: the show, surprisingly, is a hit, as Buffy and Willow find out, shellshocked, from a magazine article! She is even on giant bill boards in every major American city – airing on MTV every weeknight at 7pm!

Buffy can only look on in shock at the magazines praising her nemesis, who seemingly is being touted as the next Tina Fey – which Willow does not agree with.

Downtown, in an unknown city, a street gang, all girls, are confronting one of their own. They’ve cornered her against a pillar: she wants out, she tells them. Their response is a direct punch to the girl’s face. They begin to attack her, kicking her to the ground, dragging her up against a wall by her ponytail.

As she smacks the wall, the girl’s body shivers. What was that? But within seconds, she knows. She has the strength and the skill. She is a Slayer, activated moments before. This changes everything.

She fights back and runs, leaving the gang members unconscious on the ground.

Walking home, she stops by a storefront, selling electrical goods. A TV in the window is playing an advert talking about Slayers. Other girls, reaching out. The girl doesn’t know if this is the best idea she’s ever had or not, but she arranges to meet with the guy in the video, an Andrew something-or-other. He approaches her on a park bench, startling her. “Hi. Can we talk about your destiny?” he asks.

They talk about vampires, but the girl is not convinced: they bite you, you don’t die – that’s what the television is saying. It’s harmless. Andrew tells her that it’s far from harmless. Weak people turn to strength when they need it. Some misguided people mistake power for strength – and Harmony is exploiting them. People who don’t have anyone to protect them are suffering, and nothing is being done.

This is enough for her. She tells Andrew immediately that she’s in. Andrew excitedly tells her that Buffy will want to welcome her, and gets his cell phone out of his pocket, dialling her number in.

Buffy is watching as Xander and Willow desperately try to keep centaur Dawn from being mounted by an amorous young buck. The girl hangs up because she’s heard Buffy’s words about family and sisterhood before. She walks away from Andrew – she’s done it before and has no interest in joining what she sees as another gang of thugs.

Wanting to rid herself of her gang member tattoo, the girl goes to a parlour to get the tatt adjusted into something else. As the artist is finishing her arm, Harmony enters the place, complete with entourage and dogs, and her new assistant: former Sunnydale resident Clem!

The girl, completely unfamiliar with the reality show, is aghast that this is a vampire. She automatically and resolutely determines that this vampire, influencer that she is, is going down. And she’ll do it tonight, at a party the show needs extras for. She manages to secure the gig easily.

Arriving at the party, the security remove the stake she was preparing to take inside. She enters the luxurious venue, watching as people make small talk, Harmony the number one topic of conversation. The second most popular topic is the discussion of the high one gets as one is being drained and, it seems, the practice is becoming more common place, especially amongst the rich and famous. The girl takes all this in, getting more and more repulsed as she hears more.

Eventually, Harmony comes down the stairs, dressed to the nines, looking a million bucks and being pursued by a good-looking celeb who is pestering her to turn him so that he can be with her – and earn his money – forever. Looking around, horrified at the wishes of the humans around her, the girl reaches for something wood. She grabs a clapper board from a director, snaps the top off to create a make-shift stake and races up the stairs at speed towards an unsuspecting Harmony.

Harmony drops the dog she was holding and is stunned as it races down the steps, distracting the girl and landing on Clem’s head! The girl and Harmony collide, landing with a thump. The girl pushes Harmony’s head against the floor, but Harm, now aware that she’s fighting a Slayer and absolutely petrified, vamps out. She back hands the Slayer off her and reaches for the clapper board. The girl kicks out, sending Harmony off the balcony they’re on, down towards the horrified onlookers below.

Harmony manages to land on her feet, cursing her ankles and raises herself and the makeshift stake up, ready for an incoming attack. The Slayer leaps off the balcony towards Harm, ready to continue their fight – but lands on Harmony’s clapper board, impaling herself on it’s end. Harmony, figuring that Slayers would really tank her ratings, bites the Slayer and feeds off her, live on air.

The whole world sees her feed on television: Andrew and his squad react in horror, whilst in their hideout in Scotland, the Scoobies react in shock. The video goes viral, setting download history records and making executives in Hollywood excited: they have their villain for the show and now it’s a bonafide massive worldwide smash! Number One in the world! All the show needed, was a villain! These Slayers. They start comparing the Slayers to Nazi troopers! On a hit chat show, Harmony is about to be interviewed by a top talk show host, Anderson Cooper. He prepares to introduce her to his evening audience.

“Slayers. What is this shadowy organisation? We’ve done some digging. They say they’re our protectors, as fighters in some grand battle against ‘evil’. But who decides what is evil? And, some are asking, who protects us from them? Keeping us honest tonight, our guest, television personality, Harmony Kendall!” He even introduces the dogs.

In Scotland, Buffy and her friends hear about the chat show. Willow says that the public are getting confused over who is the villain and who isn’t. Buffy insists that the situation will blow over: it has to, right?

After all, surely the public can tell who the good guys are from the bad? Who’s wearing the black hats and the white hats, right? Willow looks worried. And now, so is Buffy.
