Anya

"I don't understand how this all

happens, how we go through this,

I mean I knew her and then she's,

there's just a body, I don't

understand why she just can't get

back in it and not be dead, it's

stupid, it's mortal and stupid,

Xander's crying and not talking and

I was having fruit punch and I

thought that Joyce would never have

any more fruit punch and she'd never

have eggs, or yawn, or brush her

hair, not ever and no one will explain..."

~ Anya 'TheBody'

Anya didn't understand, there wasn't much more to it. She hadn't been mortal for very long, only two years. How was she supposed to know how to react to death. How was she supposed to know what they do to the body. Was it even Joyce anymore? Was she just a corpse now? Would this happen to Anya soon? Anya didn't want to get wrinkly and die. When it comes death, Anya didn't know. She knew all about vengeance, demons, and spells, but nothing about mortality. Everyone expected her to act a certain way, and to know everything. Anya didn't though, she was, now, only human. It would do the Scoobies some good if they could remember that.
