Knock. Knock. Knock.

Elizabeth knocked on the door. Rupert Giles answered it.

"Elizabeth, well…it's nice to see you here. How have you been?"

"I've been great! Thanks for asking…umm, is William here by any chance?"

Giles noticed that Elizabeth still had yet to find out that they were moving. So, he just answered with a "Yes, he is. He's up in his room if you'd like to talk to him." He backed out of the doorway for her to walk in.

"Thanks!" She walked up to his room only to find lots of boxes and no William.

"Will?" No answer. "William?" She turned around and walked through the hall to find him walking out of the bathroom just finishing from a shower.

"Hey!" Elizabeth said joyfully. But right away she frowned, as his response was just a simple nod. "Gee, what's up with you? Awkward much?"

He ignored her and walked into his room. She followed him. "Hello? Talking here…what's wrong? And what's with all the boxes?" He still didn't answer her. "WILLIAM!!!"

Irritated by her, he finally decides to respond. "Bloody 'ell! I'm moving, love" He said in a frustrated kind of way.

"What? No, you can't."

"I have to, pet. Da's got a new job down in some bloody town."

"Where?"

He sighed. "Sunnydale."

"When?"

"Next week, love. Sorry if this is a bit surprising to you. I just found out 2 days ago."

"Well, do you have to move? Why can't you just stay here? You can live with me! I-it'll be great!" She said forcing a smile onto her lips. Then suddenly, her smile dropped.

"Sorry love, tried asking my Da about that. No use."

"So what? The end of this week comes and this is just goodbye?" She said as tears started forming in her eyes.

He looked at her speechless of what to say. She turned around and left. Yeah, love. Come this Friday, I guess this is good-bye. He thought sadly.
