"Okay, and on that happy note, I've got a treat for tomorrow nights second annual Halloween screening. People - prepare to have your spines tingled, your gooses bumped by the terrifying (Pulls out a video and reads the title) Fantasia. Fantasia?" Xander asked incredulously staring at the tape
"Maybe it's because of all the - horrific things we've seen, but hippos wearing tutus just don't unnerve me the way they used to." Oz said. The gang could hear the chuckle in his voice.
"Phantasm. It was supposed to be? Phantasm. Stupid video store!" Buffy, who was sitting on the bed propping her head up with her hands chuckled despite her depression.
"Hey!" Willow said.
"Huh?" Buffy asked.
"What's this?" Willow motioned over to a black video cover. There was no title or markings on it whatsoever. She picked it up and cast a wry smile over towards Xander.
"What makes you think that it's mine?" Xander asked. His cheeks steadily turned red. "I mean all my tapes are underneath the bed."
"Well then what is it?" Willow inquired.
"Well the only way to find out is to watch it." Buffy said dropping the pumpkin guts in the bowl and signaling at Xander to toss the video. He threw it towards her and Buffy caught it with ease. She climbed off the bed and pushed the video tape into the VCR. The screen popped up with a whirling and then a series of abstract images. The scenes paused on the picture of a well then the video stopped. "That was weird, yet some how scary." The group sat in silence then the phone rang. Everybody jumped but Buffy rushed to answer it hoping it was Parker. "Hello?"
"Seven days." The voice was eerie.
"What? What do you mean 'seven days'?" Silence was heard on the other end. "Hello?" She heard a click on the other end and hung up shrugging.
"seven days 'till what" Willow asked curiously.
"That's what I want to know. I'll take the video with me to Giles and see what he can make out of the pictures and the call." Buffy said ejecting the tape.
AN: I was watching The Ring two and decided that I should do a crossover thing…I also want to see Buffy and Samara fight. Anyways, R&R
