June 2nd, 1997

Oh my God.
What a week.

The week starts out with Giles finding a prophecy in the book Angel gave him involving Buffy and the Master and a fight to the death, only it was very specific about whose death it would be.

Cue: Minor earthquake.

I ask Buffy out, she shoots me down, I go home and listen to painful country music for hours. Good times. "I Fall to Pieces" especially nice for the occasion.

Giles gives Angel a call to confirm what he just read. Buffy overhears their conversation about her dying the next day, and freaks a little. Or, a lot. A bit with the throwing of the books and the quitting of the Slayage and the cross Angel gave her on the floor. A bit with the crying and screaming and yelling at Giles.

Willow and Cordelia find Cordy's boyfriend and three other guys extremely dead and lacking in blood in the school's Entertainment room. Willow freaks a little. Or, a lot. A bit with the emotional meltdown and hysteria on the news. A bit with the unable to focus on anything for a while. She's still out of it. Poor Will.

Buffy goes to see Willow, sees how upset she is, and makes an UNBELIEVABLY STUPID decision. She goes, clocks Giles before he can go in Buffy's place, and follows the Annointed One to the Master's underground church.
Yeah. I thought the Annointed One was dead. But, apparently not. We acquainted the wrong vamp with the incinerator.

I find out and go find Angel. We… chat. Then we go to the Master's lair to find him gone and Buffy dead.
Buffy dead.
Buffy dead.
Buffy DIED yesterday.
There are just some things I can't get my head around.

But it was all okay because I gave her CPR and she livened up again. She kicked the Master's ass and now he's dust.
But he left a skeleton. What the hell is that all about? Snyder saw it. I think he's forcing himself to forget it. We decide what to do with it soon. Buffy leaves to L. A. for the summer even sooner to stay with her dad.

I don't know what happened to the Annointed One, though. Buffy didn't say anything about staking him.
…
Uh oh.
