From the Diary of Willow Rosenburg:

July 25, 2006

I still can't get over how weird it is to keep a diary. I know that Giles wants us to do it because of the sheer number of girls who are now slayers, but still, it's not exactly something that comes naturally to me. Buffy always kept a diary of some sort so it was easy for her, I think Dawn did to, but for the rest of us making sure that we sit down and record the daily activities of the girls here at the castle is still like pulling teeth and I've been doing it now for two years. The only reason I remembered to right my entry today is because of how weird Buffy has been acting lately. Not uncomfortable weird like when Angel, Spike and the others first arrived to help us after the escaped from hell, or even weird like when she found out that her sister had a serious boyfriend whom she'd never even met before and that her sister might even get married before she did, but weird none the less. When I asked her about it earlier she simply told me that she'd had a nightmare and it had wigged her out but that it was no biggie. I think she had one of those prophetic dream thingies and she two wigged to tell anyone, which might be a problem since if she did have one of those prophetic dreams then she really should tell us because then we might know what's coming instead of sitting here like bumps on a log just waiting for some big evil to come and kill us all… okay maybe I'm a little weirded out too. It's not like I haven't faced the big evil apocalypse and all that before, in fact I'm practically an expert, I even was the cause of one once… but it's still always a little nerve racking no matter how many apocalypses you've survived. Plus every time Buffy gets one of her scary dreams its always when something really REALLY bad happens, like when she got killed by the master, or when Angel went all homicidal on us and tried to kill everyone… not that I'm judging because I'm not. I did the same thing a few years ago when I was all hyped up on the bad mojo and Angel didn't even have a soul when he did those things and I did so… wow I'm way off topic again! Anyway I'm really worried about Buffy because normally when she has one of those dream thingies she tells me at least, but she won't for some reason. What's even weirder is how moody she's been especially around Angel. It's like he's done something to offend her or something one minute and then the next she looks like someone killed her favorite pet. I know they haven't been getting along all that good lately… some residual issues came up a few weeks ago about her not trusting him or some garbage like that and of course Spike being the pain in the ass he always is made it even worse. The three of them almost came to blows and it took both me and Faith to keep them from killing one another. I tried asking her what the problem was but she said it was no biggie and left it alone. Angel is sure that she's hiding something, so is Spike. I heard them talking about it the other night. I don't think they originally meant for me to overhear, but then they started arguing about something and started yelling and almost came to blows. Again. I think Buffy's right on one thing though those two are just going to have to wrestle out their differences some day because otherwise they are going to kill each other. Well, as long as one of us doesn't kill the both of them first. I really hope Buffy figures out what her deal is soon or else one of those three really is going to wind up dead.
