"So you don't hate me?" Buffy asked as her, Xander, Willow and Giles all walked through the cemetery.
"For the hundredth time Buff, no. How could anyone possibly hate the Buffster? You save the world, a lot," Xander said.
"Not to my recollection. This is so weird. Walking through a cemetery, practically screaming "bite me". What if I can't protect you guys? You shouldn't have come."
"We've been in worse," Willow said. "But we came out with all our blood still pumping."
"Still. I don't want to drag you guys into something like this. You should be happy teenagers. Carefree. Not this hanging over your heads."
"We can't walk away now," Willow said. "We're too involved."
Buffy just nodded and continued fiddling with her stake. She couldn't believe she'd actually agreed to going out on a practice with Angel lurking around planning an attack. What if she actually staked him? 'Would that be so bad?' she thought, with a small smile. 'Not like he hasn't given me any reason to like him.'
"Is this going to be over soon? I have some place to be."
"Your Slayer duties must come before all other things in your life Buffy. This is not something to joke around about, and avoid. Lives are depending on you. The world is depending on you," Giles said.
"I know, I know," she said. "But what if he's really cute?"

Buffy sat at a table in the Bronze. She glanced around her, looking for any sign of William. She looked to her watch, it was quarter after ten. 'Maybe he changed his mind. Maybe he found someone else. Someone his own age,' Buffy thought.
"Looking for me luv?" Will asked, sitting down beside her and kissing her softly on the cheek. "Think I wasn't gonna show?"
"No. No," she repeated when he gave her an uncertain look. "Okay, maybe a little. There are a lot of pretty girls out there. Ones over the age of eighteen. Ones that are legal for you to date."
"Is that a problem? The age?"
"Of course not. I thought it might be for you . . ." she said, taking interest in the table.
"Buffy, I like you a lot," he said, taking her chin in his hand. "And no other girl catches my eye but you."
He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. It was quick, over before it even began. He stood up, her hand in his and lead her over to a space on the floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he pulled her close to him.
/Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
I've been there before
But that life's a bore
So full of the superficial/
Buffy rested her head on Will's chest/shoulder when something, someone, caught her eye. Angel was leaning against a wall watching her dance. He looked angry, and a bit hurt. But Buffy didn't care. She was happy in Will's arms and she wasn't going to let Angel ruin their date. 'Why is he here?' she thought. 'I bet Giles told him to keep an eye on me. Or maybe this was all his idea. He's probably just upset cause I kicked his ass earlier.'
"Got your eye on someone else?" Will asked, glancing down at her.
She looked up, surprised when she heard his voice. "Huh? Oh, no. Just . . . Daydreaming. Didn't even realize I was gone," she said, laughing slightly.
"Are you sure? You seem a little tense."
"No. Probably just the stress of the accident and everything. I'm fine, really Will," she said, laying her head back in its spot. "Just fine."
/Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you with me baby
Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby/

Buffy walked through the doors into the Sunnydale High Library. She saw Giles sitting down at the table, Willow and Xander close by.
"Did you tell Angel to spy on me?" she asked. Giles didn't speak. "Giles!"
"Hmm? Oh, right. I wouldn't use the term "spy". I merely told him to keep an eye on you. Make sure you kept safe."
"He has no right to be 'keeping an eye' on me! I'm the Slayer. I don't need an undead guardian angel," Buffy said. "I know that my Slayer duties are important. And I'm trying. But I just don't need to be paranoid about whether or not Angel is watching me 24/7."
"I didn't mean any harm," Giles said.
"Hey da'," Will said, walking into the library. He looked from one person to another. "What's up?"
"Nothing," Buffy said. "I should get to class."
She walked by William, their hands quickly touching. He smiled at her and she returned it. Willow was the only one who noticed this, but didn't want to make a scene, incase her friend was trying to keep a secret. 'I'll call her later,' she thought. 'This is big.'
