Buffy stared at the quiz before her. She couldn't imagine what this particular question could possibly have to do with the future her life would hold, if, indeed, it held any. Her pencil hovered just before the options as she considered the possibilities.

She'd never really had a pet. She'd wanted once and had always wanted to be able to cave to Dawn's requests and give her little sister a pet, but after she'd seen what Angel had done to Willow's fish, there had been no possibility of having animals in her life.

But she had had animals in her life. How many times had Angel and Spike both referred to themselves as being animals? She remembered their bites and how they had clawed her flesh. She remembered the savage looks in their wild eyes as they'd made love, and finally Buffy checked the box that read Animal Lover.

The End
