Last time…

"I want this…" she ripped the lime out with her hand before grabbing the back of Faith's head and pulling her into a passionate kiss. The kiss could have lasted hours but probably only lasted seconds as a confused Faith moaned out at Buffy's actions before pulling back.

"Shit…B…what what was that?" she gasped out

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I don't know….shit Faith I'm sorry I didn't mean to…where the hell did that come from…I mean one minute I was thinking how great the tequila tasted but then the next all I really wanted to know is what you tasted like…wow I am…shit so sorry…"

"Buffy…." Faith's stern voice interrupted her rambling "It's ok…I…fuck it" before she could even begin to muster something to say she simply pulled the blonde into another kiss. The kiss ignited quickly as the two women secretly gave into something they had long been repressing….the kiss only ended when they both were having oxygen issues.

Buffy pulled back from Faith, "I've wanted to do that…."

"... since that night we first met in the alley?" Faith finished Buffy's confession.

Buffy simply laughed as she dipped her head once more to meet Faith's lips.

Chapter 2 - Reality Check

As Buffy's lips met Faith's for a third time, she pushed Faith back onto the bed as their tongues danced elegantly within one another's mouth. Buffy shifted so she was straddling Faith's hips as she bent to continue the sexy kiss with her new found attraction…well not necessarily new…but you understand.

Buffy was quickly becoming the aggressor, something Faith was not used to but was enjoying nonetheless. Her hands had made their way under Faith's shirt and were seriously close to getting a handful or two of the younger slayer. Simple moans of pleasure were heard in conjunction with the loud radio until Faith reluctantly pulled back once again as her hormones were threatening to rage out of control.

"I'm sorry Buffy….I don't think I can do this…."

"What…what do you mean…you can't tell me I'm not a good kisser…" she laughed and reached for Faith again only to feel the younger slayer tense up, "Faith….why not…is it me…what's wrong?"

"No no B its most definitely not you….you are a great kisser…it's just…I can't….I mean we can't…we have been drinking and with the post battle horney stuff….it's not a good combination, I mean if we want to start off this friendship…relationship…or whatever on the right foot maybe we should stop"

Buffy sank back to her knees looking at Faith with a defeated look in her eyes, "Faith…please I don't understand…we are two adults…and I want this…I know we have been drinking but I really want this…I always have"

Faith pouted as well, "So do I, it's just we are here just 10 hours after the collapse of the world we know… and I know there are a lot of decisions to make about you and me and the world…I don't want to add to the pressure or do something that could jeopardize those decisions." When the hell did I become the voice of reason….Faith what are you doing? She thought to herself as the blonde continued to stare at her. "Buffy, this thing…we have…I want it to be real not some drunken mistake"

Faith saw Buffy's eyes leave hers as she turned on the bed now looking sideways towards the door she probably is planning her escape route Faith thought, she knew she had to act fast. Faith sank to the floor quickly locking herself in between Buffy's legs that were hanging off the bed looking into the blonde's eyes. "Buffy I want this too…you and me…friends, lovers, whatever…I have wanted it for a long time just like you and it isn't that. How can we be sure we are starting off the right way if we just throw all caution to the wind tonight…I mean have you even started to think about the what nows….what we are gonna do in a few short hours when the sun comes up again and we are still here waiting for the other shoe to drop?"

"Faith I told you I don't care anymore…I don't want to fight anymore…with demons or with you or with anyone…I have thought about the future but usually only as the one wouldn't be in it…I was supposed to die Faith not just yesterday but twice before…I don't want to put myself in that position, I'm tired of caring… I want something new…something real and maybe you're it maybe you're not but…let's just find out"

"So I'm just a trial run then?" Faith spat back realizing right away that it was completely and totally not the right thing to say, "I'm sorry…Buffy I didn't mean that…"

"Whatever Faith…I would think by the last few hours of discussion drunk or not you would know you are not some new pair of shoes I wanna try on…just forget it" And with that Buffy left her sited position and proceeded to walk out the door, "I'm going for a walk…alone…don't follow me…".

"B…Wait!" But Faith's cry out was too late as the door slammed before she made it to the entry way, "Shit…god dammit…every time Faith…what the fuck is wrong with you?" she exclaimed out loud before pounding her fist into the wall in frustration causing a hole in the plastered wall. She turned back to the bedside table picking up her cup. Faith poured herself the rest of the third bottle of tequila and sat back on the floor against the wall as she ranted about her typical and more than expected behaviors. She downed the last few drops of liquor within seconds "don't follow me…"the words were ringing in her head …WAIT, when was the last time I listened to her anyway…." With that Faith jumped up and ran out the door after Buffy…

Buffy had only made it a few blocks in the 5 minutes it took Faith to come her senses, but tears were streaming down her face which only proved Faith had made a real mistake with her words…and actions. Buffy was scuffing her feet and grumbling about the young woman when she suddenly felt her presence behind her. She flipped quickly facing the brunette still with stinging eyes and wet cheeks… "Faith I told you…don't follow…"

Faith didn't let Buffy finish her statement before pulling her tightly and kissing her passionately and almost roughly, "Shut up…" she simply stated as pushed her against the nearest building.

"Faith….no you don't get to come running out here and do this" Buffy protested pushing Faith off of her and flipping to walk away again. "We are completely past the kissing to make it better…you blew it"

"B… Buffy stop listen to me…" she ran ahead of the blonde stopping to block her path "I'm an asshole…complete asshole, they are scouting me for asshole Olympics…they may even let me carry the torch.." she smirked hoping Buffy would at least stop and listen to her now, "It's not that I don't trust you…I don't trust myself Buffy…I really want you but right now my brain can't decide what it wants."

"Faith don't give me that bullshit…this doesn't take rocket science thinking…you either want to be with me or you don't and if you don't then fine whatever…but don't send me mix signals and try to kiss me on some street somewhere…shit I am basically throwing myself at you and you are backing away, I thought this is what you wanted…"

"Buffy you have to give me a chance to process here…I get that we have had years of sexual or whatever tension but I'm sorry I can't switch gears that fast…I thought I hated you for years now I think maybe I could lov…I mean…shit.."

"Really Faith is it so hard to say the word love?"

"Buffy come on…give me a chance to figure this out…last time I saw you before the drama you told me if I apologized you would beat me to death… then I was in prison for two years and only out for about two weeks and I just helped win a battle with someone who was once my mortal enemy…its confusing…and I don't get why I am the one saying all this shit and you are just standing there reading to be a big bull dyke lesbian and me who has been with women is scared out of my mind." Faith yelled out loudly now frustrated with the woman in front of her.

"Faith…I'm not ready to be a big lezzi…whatever the hell you just said…but I am ready to move forward with someone…I do want it to be you…you're the only one understands this call in life or whatever…I'm not in love with all women, I'm in love with you…." Buffy was now yelling too.

"Did you just say you're in love with me?" Faith could not wrap her mind around this statement.

"Maybe…well I think...yes I think I could be…"

"Buffy people don't love me…they just don't…I mean I have been tolerated before but that's…that about it…"

"Why do you have to pull this shit with me, why can't you just let yourself be honest with how you feel?"

"Because you don't even really know what you want, you're confused just like I am…have you stopped to think about what you truly want or what I want for that matter past passionate sex at a scummy hotel? Do you even know yourself anymore…do you know me?"

"What do you mean who you are…fine you want to play this game? Who are you Faith and what do you want?"

"I want to go back to prison…." Faith yelled out

Stunned Buffy just stood back on her heels at the outburst of the slayer…she couldn't believe what she just heard. "What the fuck are you talking…what do you mean…?"

"Buffy I am nowhere near the place where I can trust myself…I need to go back…I have to fix the shit that I have done. I'm sorry that you don't understand but this has always been my plan…to help you and then go back…I explained it to Angel and Willow…I go back in two days"

"Shut up…just stop…." Tears were welling in Buffy's eyes as she stood dumbstruck by the brunettes' confession. "You knew all along? Why didn't you say anything to me?"

"Because it didn't come up and I didn't think you cared honestly…but now I know you do care as much as I care…I'm not good enough for you Buffy…not yet but I want to be…I want to be good enough. There are still a lot of demons in me that I need to deal with before I can even think about trying life in the real world on my own or with you…"

"So what you were just gonna wait till we got back to LA and then leave…pack up your bags in the middle of the night and go?"

"Something like that"

"This is unbelievable…I swear to god I may be able to cheat death, beat back evil, slay any of the undead but I will never understand people…especially Faith people." Buffy shook her head and stifled back the tears that were coming as she collapsed onto the sidewalk. "When will finding someone ever be simple dammit?"

Breathing a large sigh of frustration…Faith was now fighting back her own tears as she sat down on the curb next to Buffy. "Buffy…it's already been arranged, Angel has spoken to the DA and I only have to serve another 28 months and then I will get parole. We made a deal with the police and Wolfram and Hart to reduce my sentence, it's only two more years and plus I have some really good therapy sessions lined up too. Please understand this has nothing to do with us or you, it is all on me, maybe you do love me and maybe one day I can feel the same but I can't be sure until I fix all the damage I have done to myself and others. I have to pay for what I did and for what it's worth I promise to make myself better completely this time for not just me but for you, for us"

Buffy was silently crying as Faith explained the details of her return to prison. A part of her was dying inside of guilt as she heard the responsible and well thought out plan because she at the moment resented all the growth that Faith had shown. The other part couldn't get past the connection with her fellow slayer and how strong she felt…how much better she felt with Faith with her in the last week…how that feeling would end…how pissed she was that Faith would end it on purpose…she didn't know when she became that girl who pines over someone but she totally was.

"Buffy please look at me" Faith cupped Buffy's face as she spoke… "I have to do this…I have to go back. I'm not asking you to wait for me or whatever, but please tell me that you can learn to understand this."

Buffy stared blankly at Faith's face taking her and her words in as she choked back more tears. Instead of answering she leaned forward and kissed Faith softly on the check and stood back up. "Sleep…it's time for sleep" was all she said as she began to walk back to the hotel as the sun was coming up. Faith sat for another moment an watched the sun fully rise, tears streaming down her face and her emotions running rampant on her brain. She regained her composure and returned to the hotel room finding Buffy sleeping on the bed. Without hesitation she removed her shoes and climbed into bed behind Buffy holding her tightly, not wanting this moment to end. "Everything I have ever done has been because of you, I promise that we can have a future…if you let me I will take care of you for the rest of my life as soon as I am worthy of someone like you" Faith whispered into the blonde's ear figuring she was too deep in sleep to hear her confession. Little did she know Buffy heard the whole thing and forced her eyes to stay shut not allowing any more tears to be shed over Faith.

A knock around noon stirred the women from their sleep and signaling the Scooby gang was tired of waiting to speak with their two leaders. Buffy separated from Faith's grasp and answered the door to find Willow on the other side beaming that special beam…at least someone got some last night Buffy thought to herself.

"Hey Buff, how you feeling this morning…?" she smiled as she handed a cup of coffee to her friend.

Buffy stepped out of the doorway and shut both her and Willow out of the room hoping Faith would not hear the conversation she was preparing to have.

"Like I drank all night and confessed my feelings for a woman…yes that's right a woman who happens to be Faith…only to learn she has no intentions of staying with me or my group because she would rather be in prison than be with me…oh and the best part you ask, the best part is my best friend knew this and didn't say anything….that's how I feel Will, how about you?" Buffy had gotten her whole rant out never looking up at Willow's face.

"Buffy…" Willow choked out, "I didn't…you don't understand…we didn't tell you…because we thought…"

"What that I couldn't handle it, I can handle evil and death and killing but I can't be told that Faith wants to leave and go back to prison for Christ's sake? Why doesn't anyone remember I am an adult not to mention a slayer, honesty shouldn't need to be asked for"

"Listen to me Buffy she has really grown over the last two years, I know you can tell, but she doesn't want to relapse in any way, shape or form. I think its noble Buff, she could go anywhere but she doesn't want to. She wants to be better, she truly wants to be healed, and you have to understand that. Wait….what do you mean you confessed your feelings… feelings to Faith?"

"Willow I think you know what I mean"

"Ha-ha I knew it! Ok I have known since we were in high school you guys are so totally obvious, the B and F stuff…" she smirked " but tell me anyway" she nudged Buffy's arm with her elbow smirking a bit and her newly expressive friend. "You and Faith…really for real? Was there kissing, touching…details Buffy come on"

"It will have to wait Red" Faith appeared in the doorway…she looked towards Buffy hi she mouthed before turning back to Willow. "Giles just called he wants to hit the road in about 20 minutes, wants to get to Angel's pad and begin the debriefing and such as soon as possible. We gotta get ready to leave"

"Well ok that's not awkward or anything" Willow chuckled out "Ok well I do like bus discussions reminds me of middle school….yea ok see you guys in 20" with that she hurried back to her room to gather Kennedy and her things.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys" Faith said as she motioned for Buffy to enter their room.

"No biggie…I mean I'm totally becoming an expert on repressing anyway" Buffy said as she entered their room and began to gather her few things

"Come on Buffy can we not do the awkward speaking in hate laced riddles? I told you what I want…please please please just try to understand this or at least fake it until I leave, I can't stand knowing that I am solely responsible for your somber 'tude."

"Faith, I am still trying to process everything ok, what did you say…can't switch gears that fast…well I can't either…someday I may understand why you want to leave but honestly right now I don't and I can't pretend I do so deal…"

"So that's it? We go back to LA and I spend my last free day trying to apologize for doing the right thing? Buffy…this is stupid…sorry but it is…"

"Hey I'm not the one who wants prison over love"

"Well… WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Faith screamed out "I mean seriously I have told you my plan and as judgmental of it as you are...thanks by the way... have you thought about it? You can't seem to think more than an hour ahead and don't give me that things have changed bullshit…what do you want Buffy, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

Buffy stopped as soon as Faith began to raise her voice… "YOU, I thought I made that pretty damn clear to you when I kissed you Faith but apparently you are as dense as you were before. I WANT YOU"

"Besides me….what do you want?"

"What?"

"Where do you see me with you, what are we doing, what's that life like?"

"Why are you asking you don't care, you have no intentions of going through with any of it!"

"Because I need to know…humor me…where do you want to be with me? LA with the Scooby gang and Angel watching our every move? Or far away where we can be secret lovers and no one has to know about it? I mean you seem to know you want me but have you thought about anything other than the physical shit you are feeling because let me tell ya B I have and it doesn't involve your tag along gang or hiding out. I can't hide who I am and what I feel from them or the anyone else in the world"

"But you can hide behind concrete and bars from me?"

"You know what…." Faith pointed at Buffy "This is bulls- I can't do this anymore with you…I'm not coming back to Angel's place, I'm going straight back to jail…I will not spend my last day fighting with you, it's not worth it…" she threw her dirty close in a laundry bag and turned back to the blonde with sadness in her eyes. "Buffy I hope one day you do truly understand why I am doing what I am doing but if you don't I hope you can live with this decision to shut me out once again…" Faith turned towards the door ready to storm out but turned back towards Buffy, "It's not too hard for me ya know" she choked out with tears in her throat "I don't know why we fit together or why the powers that be put us together on this earth and maybe I never will but…I do love you and I always have. Maybe I will get a chance to prove that to you in the future, take care of yourself B" And with that she was gone.

Buffy was too shocked to make a move in pursuit of Faith, she just took the last thing Faith said and repeated it over and over in her brain….I do love you and I always have….Buffy gathered herself together and headed back outside seeing Willow frantically trying to stop Faith from getting into a cab but failing miserably. The cab tore out of the drive way as Buffy watched. Willow looked back to Buffy wanting some explanation as the blonde approached her but could tell right away she wouldn't be getting it.

"Buffy, there you are" Xander yelled out as he and Giles were assisting the rest of the girls onto the bus once again. "We heard you were all partied out last night with the wacky slayer, how did that go?"

"I really don't want to talk about it Xander" Buffy's voice was laced with hurt and anger.

"Ok then….well to LA then I guess…wow day after Buffy not so much in the good and the mood" he said to Willow as Buffy walked past them towards the bus door.

"Buffy" Giles put his arm on hers to stop her from boarding, "There has been a development"

"You're telling me" She whispered but when Giles looked confused she pulled it together, "What Giles?"

"Robin…well he…he died early this morning at the hospital. I have to go arrange some things at there, I will meet you at Angel's but since I have to stay behind you are in charge of the girls"

Buffy sighed loudly and put her hand to her head… "I….hate this…I just can't do this anymore" she yelled. Another death had shook Buffy to the core and she couldn't handle any more responsibility. "Giles I quit... seriously I quit this whole fucking thing…no more being in charge, no more death…I'm done" Buffy slammed her bag to the ground and walked away from the group that was now staring at the slayer as she hurried into the front office of the hotel.

"Call me a cab" she ordered the attendant behind the counter "I need to get the hell out of here"

Willow ran in after Buffy as she was ordering around the young hotel worker. "Buffy where are you going? You can't just leave."

"Really I can't? Why because the world will end Willow? Whatever I quit…you are in charge now…have fun with it…it's a really great gig"

"Buffy I know you are upset about Faith and Robin but please don't turn your back on us"

"I'm not turning my back on anyone! For the first time in my life I am trying to be honest with my feelings and all it is doing is causing pain for either for me or other people well fuck that I'm done. I'm just done"

"Buffy…"

"No, listen to me. I quit, I refuse to work, and I am done! Listen this is not goodbye forever Willow but I can't be here not with you… go to Angel's I will call you ok…I just I have to be on my own…tell Dawn I love her…" and with that Buffy rushed out to the cab that had just pulled in the front drive. She jumped in before Willow, Xander, Giles or even Dawn could get to her. "Airport please…now" And just like Faith had done only minutes earlier, the older slayer was gone too.

__________________________________________________________________________

Flash Forward 4 years later….

It had been 4 years since the "California Breakdown" as Dawn referred to it. Buffy had spent 6 months in Hawaii getting drunk on pina coladas and soaking up the rays before she returned to the Scooby gang or her sister. She regretted the breakdown and the outburst and of course the complete loss of contact with everyone but she needed it and when she returned to LA one rainy evening she was met with open arms. It wasn't like she didn't deserve a break, I mean come on she had saved the world too many times to count and she still had yet to find any kind of relief! So Buffy took time for herself and forgot about everything around her. However, being a good person towards the end of her third month alone she knew they all deserved at least an answer. She contacted Dawn first and even though the yelling lasted quite a while, she finally explained herself and her sister understood. She used the final 3 months to sober up and find her center again. She came back to California ready to get back into the game and ready to mend the relationships she had dropped…well almost all the relationships.

Buffy had always felt "grateful for her friends" but she knew that the time alone was much needed and helped her to focus on the better. Buffy and the gang came up with worldly plans shortly after her return. Giles was heading back to England to reform the council, Kennedy, Willow, Xander and Andrew headed to Cleveland to work on the Hellmouth there, figuring a witch, slayer, demon expert and overall great guy would be enough to hold off the baddies. Buffy had always wanted to travel and Dawn was set on an Italian boarding school for Americans near Rome so the two decided that was the best fit for them.

Buffy was now in her mid 20's, single in Italy and enjoying life more than ever. Dawn was finished with high school and had applied to colleges back in the states saying "Italy was so down and over" but Buffy knew it was because her boyfriend Antonio also applied back in America. She and the beau had been accepted to Boston University, where Dawn was planning to study in the fields of history and archeology to further her secret desire to be a watcher. Buffy had been nothing but supportive of Dawn, feeling she owned the girl a somewhat normal life especially after leaving her for 3 months with no word. Buffy had kept herself busy by working at an American youth hostel down the road from their Italian home and had also taken up the hobby of painting, finding she was actually quite creative and good for that matter. The 4 years had flown by and Buffy was now finalizing a house in Boston and a new job as a youth counselor at a local school, although sad to leave Italy she was looking forward to being closer to Willow, Xander and the gang. Things had flourished in their years apart and the slayer line was now renewed and the council was booming as well. Buffy had periodically been contacted by both the scoobies and Giles to consult on certain cases and in rare occasions fight in some battles, but overall she was enjoying the retirement like status of her life.

Buffy also had kept in contact with Angel as well getting small updates on Faith's progress and her eventual release from prison. Angel told Buffy she moved back to the east coast to work on building a life for herself. She was still in contact with Giles too working on council and slayer tasks, but she had also managed to create a real life and assert herself into an actual job and real world life. Faith was very secretive, even with Angel, about what she was doing, she said it was the first normal decision she had made in over 10 years and she didn't want to jinx it. Angel said she always asked about Buffy but Buffy could never bring herself to write, call or even think too long about Faith, it was too painful. She chalked their one night up to the alcohol and post battle hype thinking it must have been a mistake otherwise it would have worked out. Still the feelings were there sure but she couldn't bring herself to face the other slayer and confront those connections again. They had been asked to oversee a certain case about two years ago but missed each other by a couple hours as Faith's flight had been delayed and Buffy's assistance was already complete by the time she arrived.

Tomorrow Buffy and Dawn would be boarding their flight back to Boston; most of their belongings had already shipped to the new home. As an added bonus Xander, Kennedy and Willow had traveled up from Cleveland to meet them at the airport and spend the first week back in the states with them. Buffy had chosen a beautiful 4 bedroom house with a large yard on 10 acres right outside the north side of the city. Having unlimited cash resources had its perks especially in the world or real estate. Buffy's house was already completely furnished with amazing furniture and appliances, handpicked by Buffy online…hey she had some down time ok…and was in a great neighborhood too. There was a small creek in the back yard and lots of space to chill by the amazing pool she had requested be put in. She had also put in a small shed out back to be designed as a work out/training building for that slayer in her. There was the gazebo bar out back, a game room in the basement, a Jacuzzi tub in her master bath and….

"Hey sis…daydreaming about the house again? Dawn interrupted her internal list as she and Antonio entered the front door of their flat.

"How do you always know?" Buffy asked

"Cause your eyes get all glossy and usually there is a little bit of drool right…" Dawn used her finger to swipe at her sister's mouth. "…there"

"You know just because I'm retired doesn't mean I won't beat ya down" she teased

"Whatever…I and Tony are gonna get watch a movie before we crash out, ready for the big trip?"

"Yuppers, you?"

"Of course, we can't wait all that studying and learning…" Antonio replied

"And what you really mean is no parents, college partying and co-ed dorm rooms right?" Buffy teased.

"Well duh" Dawn scoffed "Goodnight Buff"

"Goodnight you guys"

Buffy retired to her room in the flat and got settled in for bed early. Their flight was at 8am so they would be off to airport early and she didn't want to risk waking up late. She drifted to sleep pretty easily anxious for the trip but excited to be back "home".

_____________________________________________________________________________

The next afternoon…

Buffy exited the jet way with Dawn close behind, she had managed to sleep most of the plane ride but the jet lag was already setting in. Dawn had been pretty miserable because of her early goodbye with Tony but she would see him in like a week so Buffy wasn't going to read much into her pity party. They made their way down to baggage claim where the Scooby gang met them with balloons and signs, obnoxious but well thought out. Hugs were exchanged and tears of happiness shed as the group exited the airport and headed for the car. As Buffy reached the outside of the terminal heading towards the car, a strange feeling began to rise from within her, something she had not felt in a very long time. The only feeling she could attribute it to was like something was going to happen, something she wasn't expecting. Little did she know it would all become clear soon.

The group left the airport grounds in Xander's rental car and headed down the highway. The laughter in the car of old memories and excitement had everyone including Xander who was driving in a haze of happiness, which is why he must not have seen the car beside them change lanes too quickly. In a flash the SUV the slayer gang was traveling in was side swiped and swerved into another car causing all three vehicles to careen into the middle barrier of the high way. Buffy only saw the car start to veer before everything went black before she was being lifted into an ambulance.

"Dawn…Dawn where are you?" She was fighting through the oxygen mask they had put on her and swiping her hands at the paramedic who was trying to secure it on her. She could feel pain throughout her upper half and could feel the stickiness of blood on her face.

"Buffy I'm right here…its ok I'm ok…I'm right here, they are taking you to the hospital its ok, and we are all alright."

Luckily Buffy was the only one with a more serious injury…which was surprising because since she was overall the strongest. The rest of the crew had a few bumps and bruises, but Buffy had suffered a gash over her forehead when the glass shattered in the window she was sitting next to as well as a separated shoulder. Not knowing she would heal quickly and seeing the blood the paramedics acted quickly to load her en route to the closest hospital.

Buffy was a little fuzzy as she was wheeled on the gurney into the emergency room but one thing was definitely clear, the feeling in the bit of her stomach she felt upon exiting the airport had taken over her body completely now…although a little dazed she knew now exactly what the feeling was. As the doctors began to poke and prod her, Buffy shot up to a seated position on the gurney shocking the medical staff around her.

"Where is she?" Buffy asked with urgency

"Who ma'am…who?" the doctor asked her quizzically as he attempted to push her back down to rest.

It was then Buffy locked eyes with her as she entered the trauma room wearing dark blue scrubs. The young woman gasped seeing Buffy on the table….

"B…oh my god Buffy…what the hell happened"

And with that Buffy fainted causing her body to crash back down on the table.
