We made our way back to Buffy's glass pastel house and I was completely astonished when she ran out, normal size to meet us. Willow and Xanders eyes were bugging out also, but Faith looked undisturbed. I guess she missed Buffy's sudden case of obesity.
"Hey B." she said waving to her. Buffy greeted her back and ran to me.
"You saved me!" she said happily, hugging me in a slayer-like grip. "You took off the huge demons head that turned me into a fat person, and you broke the spell! I've missed you guys so much!" she trailed off seeing me go purple.
"Can't…breathe…here…Buffy." I managed, "Nice…to..see you too."
"Oh sorry." Buffy laughed releasing me. "I'm just a little crazy today."
"Everyone's mad here." Xander quipped.
Everyone laughed and moved into a victory group hug (even Faith with some persuasion) and then we walked into Slayer Central, as it had so conveniently appeared in front of us.
There was a massive bed in the middle of the room. I sighed, understanding what this meant.
"I got to go now." I said sadly.
They nodded in understanding. (It happens this way every time)
"See ya soon, kid." Faith said softly.
"Yeah, tomorrow right?" added Buffy squeezing my hand in sympathy. (It must be like I'm dying to them or something.)
"We'll look for you. You sure came through for us tonight." Spike added, from where he had mysteriously just appeared from in the corner, still looking slightly embarrassed.
"I love you guys!" I called out giving Spike a meaningful glance and climbing into the enormous bed and closing my eyes.
"We love you too!" they all chorused. I felt myself spinning as I slipped away from them and their calls of 'be seeing you' became softer and softer.
I began to hear a low chant. Oh? Someone is telling me what they are doing, I thought understanding it perfectly.
'Twas neeling, in the Spuffy rug
Did neath and devore-en in the you
All whimsy, were the whitchyloves
And wickedcool out-slew.
"Beware the First my child!
And the Ubers that bite and feed!
And the Bringers that knife away your life,
Into battle, you must lead!"'
Well, Spike and Buffy are doing it!
I smiled. I knew I wouldn't have him for very long. I said this out loud, completely not offended. The second line was far more puzzling.
"From beneath you, it devours?" I translated. What on earth does that mean?
Oh! And it looks like Tara's back and Faith's gone out slaying to be a loner and get away from all the sex! Can't say I blame her, I said laughing.
The second verse also baffled me. I have to tell them about this first, I stressed and tried to fight my way back. But it was too late.
Back to reality, I thought as the spinning and falling feeling finally came to an abrupt halt and I opened my eyes.
