At three fifteen on Wednesday, October 18 Buffy wearing a pair of tan jean and a white short sleeve shirt, with her hair pulled up in a ponytail walk through the door of the Magic Box and pulls an envelope out of her purse. On the front of the envelope is Tara's name, Buffy walks over to the check out counter and hand Tara the envelope as she does this Buffy notice Tara is wearing a black floor length skirt and a black blouse. Once Tara has take the envelope Buffy walks over to the bench that is in front of the round table and across from the check out counter and sits down on the bench. Buffy then set her purse on the table, at the same time Tara open up the envelope. Tara pulls out a card that has a black female kitty wearing a witch hat on her head and there is a word bubble coming out of the mouth that says I hear its your twenty birthday. Tara open up the card and see that it says happy birthday on the inside and there is a twenty-five dollars Magic box gift card inside of the birthday card.

"I did not know what to get you for your birthday, so I just get you a gift card for the Magic box, which means that you can buy something you need or want."
"Thanks Buffy."
"Giles told me that he was going to be here Tara, but I do not see him?"
"He called and told me to let you know that he could not make it because your mom is sick and he had to pick up Bailey from daycare and give Dawn a ride home from school."
"Ok."
"He also told me to let you know that Doyle had a vision about the Dagon Sphere and that the Dagon Sphere was dropped outside of the warehouse that is off of Mercer Street and Toy Street early this morning."
"Ok I will go look for it shortly."

At the same time Buffy warp her arms around her stomach because of intense intestinal cramps. A few moments later Buffy stands up from the bench and runs to the front of the store and up to the door of the unisex restroom and pulls open the close door, without knocking to see if anyone is in the restroom. Buffy then heads into the restroom and shut the door behind her, then turns so her back is to the door. Buffy sees the restroom has light blue walls and white floor titles. In addition Buffy notices that the toilet paper holder is on the wall across from the bathroom door or left-hand wall if sitting on the toilet and there is a box of tissues on the back of the toilet. Buffy walks over to the toilet, which the back of the toilet is up against the far left-hand wall if standing in the restroom door. As Buffy unbuttons her jeans, Buffy notices that the restroom sink is on the far-right hand wall if standing in the door. There is a white square pedestal sink and there is a mirror above the sink with a wooden frame around the mirror that been paint white. By now Buffy has sat down on the toilet and just sat down on the toilet in the nick of time. At the same time Buffy notices that the paper towel holder is on the wall that is on the right-hand side of the door, if standing in the restroom door. Meanwhile back in the main area of the Magic Box, Tara looks up from the check out counter and looks out the window to see if Willow is coming because she needs to leave to head to the college campus soon, but cannot see Willow. At the same time Tara is thinking I'm happy that there is no one in the store because the smell that is coming from the restroom is awful and would make everyone leave. Five minutes later Tara walks out from behind the check out counter and walks over to the restroom door and knocks on the door.

"Buffy did you have to use the store restroom to have a bowel movement?"
"Sorry it could not be help I was having intense intestinal cramps and once I sat down on the toilet I find out that I have diarrhea."
"That not good, do you want me to call Faith and Kennedy and have one of them look for the Dagon Sphere?"
"No I can do it, Faith is busy with wedding stuff, work and college homework and Kennedy just had a tonsillectomy yesterday and is off active slayer duty for the next two weeks to rest and recover from the surgery."
"Ok, Willow just get here and I need to leave for class. I will see you when you get home tonight."
"See you then Tara."

Tara goes and grabs her backpack and purse from behind the check out counter and the same time Willow who is wearing a black knee length skirt with birds on it and a purple long sleeve shirt and Willow is clocking into work at 3:24 p.m. Tara looks at Willow and notice for the first time that Sara and Sean are not with her.

"Where are Sean and Sara?"
"Oz has the day off work and is taking care of them at home, so we did not have to pay for extra hours spent at daycare or have me bring them to the Magic box."
"That good Oz gets to spend some time with his son and daughter tonight, before having to spend the next three nights lock in a cage in the basement. Have you and Oz start planning your weeding yet?"
"Yes Saturday, April 27, 2002 that is if the owners of the place that we want to get married at are ok with us using the place and the date works for them. You should leave for class now."
"You are right."

Tara walks out from behind the check out counter and walks to the door of the Magic box. A few moments later Tara walks out of the Magic Box and start to walking toward the college campus. Meanwhile, inside the Magic Box Willow is going through the sale receipts for the morning and afternoon. Eleven minutes later in the restroom, Buffy is standing in front of the restroom sink and is washing her hands, then grabs a paper towel and dries her hand off. She then tosses the paper towel into the silver trash can that is on the right side of the sink if standing in front of the sink. Buffy looks into the mirror and sees that she looks a little flushed and tired too. Buffy walks over to the door of the restroom and unlocks the door, then opens up the door. A few moments later Buffy walks over to the bench at the round table that is across from the check out counter. Then Buffy sits down on the bench and lays down on the bench because she does not feel well. Buffy then wraps her arms around her stomach and shut her eyes because of intestinal cramps. In addition Buffy has a dull pain in her upper abdomen, at the same time Willow looks up from the sale receipt that she is looking at and notices that Buffy is laying on the bench with her arms wrapped around her stomach and that Buffy looks flushed. Willow maternal instinct kick in and Willow walks out from behind the check out counter and walks over to Buffy. Willow then kneels down beside her best friend and put her left hand onto Buffy's forehead, which feels a little warm.

"Are you feeling all right, because it feels like you are running a fever Buffy?"
"I feel all right, beside being a little tired."

Buffy stops talking because she is having intense intestinal cramps again and sits up, then Buffy jumps up from the bench. Buffy runs to the front of the store and into the restroom, because she has an intense urge to use the bathroom. Buffy gets into the bathroom and sits down on the toilet just in time because right after she sat down she starts to have a runny bowel movement with gas. At the same time Willow goes back to looking over the sale receipts, ten minutes later Buffy walks out of the restroom and over to the round table. Buffy then grabs her purse off the table and looks at her cellphone and sees it is 3:46 p.m..

"I am going to take off and head to the warehouse that is off of Mercer Street and Toy Street to find the Dagon Sphere, then I am going to my mom and Giles's house and give the Dagon Sphere to Giles."
"What are you going to do after you leave your mom and Giles house?"
"Go home and get ready to go out on patrol."
"Maybe you should stay in tonight, because you do not look well and are holding your stomach."
"I am fine Willow, beside Faith has to close the Bronze tonight and Kennedy off of active slayer duty for two weeks to rest and recover from the tonsillectomy that she had yesterday, so I have to patrol tonight. Do not worry about me because Riley and Angel are coming with me tonight."
"Ok, but if it there not a lot of demons or vampires out tonight go home and have Riley and Angel handle patrolling."
"I will think about it."

With that Buffy walks away from Willow and heads to the door of the Magic Box. Once outside Buffy slowly walk toward the intersection of Mercer Street and Toy Street, which is downtown. The whole walk Buffy is thinking I have to be coming down with a stomach bug seeing that I'm flushed, have diarrhea, a dull pain in my upper abdomen and I'm started to feel nauseous too and is hope to make it to the warehouse and then get to her mom and stepfather house before having to use the bathroom again. When Buffy reaches the warehouse six minutes later, she sees the Dagon Sphere laying on the ground by the gate of the fence that is around the warehouse. Buffy walks over to the open gate that should not be open and kneels down and pick up the Dagon Sphere. Buffy then looks around the outside of the warehouse, but does not see anything out of the normal. Buffy open up her purse and puts the Dagon Sphere into the purse, then Buffy close the purse. Buffy stays kneeling and shut her eyes, a few moments later Buffy slowly stands up. Buffy then walks away from the warehouse and walk over to Toy Street. Buffy start walking north and when she reaches State Street Buffy turn right onto State Street. Once Buffy reaches Sycamore Street she turns left onto Sycamore Street and a few minutes later walks up the driveway of 1801 Sycamore Street, which is her mom and Giles's house. A few moments later Buffy open up the front door of the house with her house key and heads into the house and once in the house Buffy shut the front door and lock the door. Buffy puts her key ring into her right jean pocket and at the same time sees Dawn who is wear a pair of tight black jean and a long sleeve shirt that top half is light blue and bottom half is black and Dawn hair is French braid. Dawn is also sitting at the round table in the living room working on homework, so Buffy walks down the front hallway and into the living room. Then Buffy walks up to the round table, Dawn is sitting on the high back chair that is right in front of the bookcase with the glass doors and looking at the front door. Dawn looks up from her geography textbook and then look at her older sister, who has sat down on the chair that is across from the kitchen doorway and next to her. Dawn notice that Buffy is flushed and is holding her stomach.

"Buffy how are you feeling because you do not look well?"
"I feel fine Dawn, where is Giles at?"
"Upstair in the master bedroom with mom and Giles is taking caring of her. Mom has not been feeling well the last few weeks."
"Ok."

Buffy stands up and grabs her purse off the table, then walk away from Dawn and walks over to the staircase. Buffy then heads upstairs and a few moments later Buffy walks up to the master bedroom door and hears her mom and Giles talking. Buffy knocks on the bedroom door and Giles and her mom stop talking. Buffy hears Giles walks up to the bedroom door, a minute later Giles's open up the door of the master bedroom. Buffy smiles at Giles and notices that he is wearing a pair of light blue jean and red dress shirt and at the same time pulls the Dagon Sphere out of her purse and then holds the Dagon Sphere up for Giles to see.

"Here the Dagon Sphere, it was right were you said it would be."

Giles takes the Dagon Sphere out of Buffy right hand, then Buffy warps her arms around her stomach. Giles and Joyce that wearing a white nightgown and lay in bed looks at Buffy and can tell that Buffy is not feeling well, but when Buffy notice Giles and her mom are looking at her, Buffy unwraps her arms and drops her arms to her sides.

A half a minute later Buffy walks out of her bedroom and walk up to the staircase, she steps over the baby gate that is at the top of the staircase and then start walking down the stairs. A few minutes later Buffy is walking toward the UC Sunnydale campus and to the campus apartment building that Tara and her apartment is in.

Buffy walks over to the couch and set the backpack on the couch. Buffy then open up the backpack and make sure that there are enough stakes and that the crossbow and arrows are in the backpack, which there are. Buffy zips up the backpack and then walks into the kitchen, to get something to eat because she has not eaten anything all day and know if she does not eat something she will not have the energy to patrol for vampires and demons. Once in the kitchen Buffy open up the refrigerator door and looks into the refrigerator, then grab the large pink plastic storage bowl out of the refrigerator that has the fruit salad in it. Buffy walks over to the base cabinet with the gray Formica counter top that are on the far left-hand side if standing in the doorway of the kitchen, Buffy set the bowl onto the counter top and open up the center upper cabinet and grabs a white porcelain cereal bowls that has owls around the outside of the bowl.

When she finishes eating the bowl of fruit salad twenty minutes later, which is 4:50 p.m. Buffy takes the empty bowl and fork into the kitchen and put the dirty dishes into the sink. Buffy then walks out of the kitchen and head to the bathroom because she needs to use the bathroom again. Buffy is in and out of the bathroom during the next hour and 23 minutes because of diarrhea and Buffy is just walking out of the bathroom at 6:13 p.m. which is sunset, at the same time there is a knock on the apartment door. Buffy walks up to the door of the apartment, then looks out the peephole and sees Riley. Buffy unlocks the door, then open up the door and few moments later Buffy walks away from the door. Then Buffy walks over to the couch to grab the black backpack, Riley walks into his girlfriends apartment and shut the door behind him. At the same time Buffy puts the backpack onto her back and is thinking my abdomen is swelling and the pain in my upper abdomen has getting worse and has started to move to my lower right abdomen. I also have no appetite, nausea and still running a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit and still have diarrhea with gas. Buffy turns so she is facing Riley and at the same time Riley looks at Buffy and notices that her arms are wrapped around her stomach and Riley then looks at Buffy face and see her cheeks are a little red and that Buffy looks tried.

"Are you ready to go on patrol Buffy?"
"Yeah."
"It does not sound or look like you are ready to go on patrol Buffy."
"I'm as ready as I am going to get Riley, so let go meet Angel at Resstfiled Cemetery."
"Do you have your keys?"
"Yes Riley my keys are in the front pocket of the backpack."

Buffy walks over to the door of the apartment door and open up the door, then walks out of the apartment. Riley walks over to the door of the apartment and locks the door. Riley then walks out of the apartment and shut the door behind him. A few minutes later Riley and Buffy are walking toward Resstfiled Cemetery that is off of the intersection of Tracy Street and Market Street and on the west side of town. During the whole walk to Resstfiled Cemetery Riley keeps looking at Buffy, who still has her arm wrapped around her stomach and Riley also notice that Buffy is flushed and has starts to gag every couple minutes. The two of them have just reached the gate of Resstfiled Cemetery and Riley stops in front of the gate, then put his hands on Buffy shoulders.

"Buffy are you feeling all right, because during the whole walk to the cemetery you had your arm wrapped around your stomach, been gagging and you looked flush?"
"I feel a little run down and had a stomachache and diarrhea since 3:22 this afternoon, but I feel all right."
"Are you running a fever?"
'Yes, but I feel well enough to patrol, so let head into the cemetery and find Angel."

Riley takes his hands off Buffy shoulders and then open up the gate. Riley walks through the gate first and Buffy follows him through the gate shutting the gate behind her and thinking why did I tell Riley I feel up to patrolling when it feels like I could throw up at any second and have intense intestinal cramps again. Buffy and Riley start walks down the roadway of the cemetery that runs from the gate through the center of the cemetery. Buffy steps off the roadway and onto the grass that is on the left side of the roadway and start walking toward Angel who is standing eight rows and nine gravestones away from her. At the same time Riley has walks up to the new gave that is in the third row of the grass area that is off the right-side of the roadway. A few minutes later Buffy walks up beside Angel who is standing in front of a gravestone that says Rest in peace Alan Smith, which is one of the victims Angel killed after he and Buffy had sex and he lost his soul during Buffy's junior year of high school. A male vampire who has dark brown hair in an Afro and is wearing a pair of brown bell bottom, a tie dye short sleeve shirt and a black leather jacket from the sixty and a female vampire with long brown hair and is wearing a pair of dark bell bottom jean and a cream-colored peasant blouse with blue embroidered floral accents around the neckline, bodice and sleeves of the blouse and all the clothing is from the sixty, the two vampires run over to Angel and Buffy.

Buffy hears the vampire and lift her right leg up and kick the vampire, which sending the vampire flying through the air, the whole time Buffy is still throwing up. Meanwhile Spike and Drusilla are standing inside the mausoleum on each side of the open door watching Riley, Buffy and Angel. Drusilla looks over at Spike that is standing on the left side of the open door of the mausoleum.

"Let kill Buffy tonight!"
"No it will be too easy with her being sick, let just watch the slayer, Angel and Riley fight tonight and see how the three of them fight together."
"Fine."

Spike and Drusilla go back to watching Riley, Angel and Buffy and at the same time Riley stake the vampire that just came out of his grave. When the dust clear he sees Buffy lean beside a gravestone throwing up and a female vampire coming up behind her. Riley runs across the cemetery and over to where Buffy, Angel and the two evil vampires are at. When Riley reaches the female vampire he grabs the vampire by the left shoulder and then stake the female vampire through the heart and a few moments later the vampire turns to dust, at the same time Angel stake the vampire that he is fighting.

A few minutes later the nurse open up the door and Riley walks back into the exam room and take Buffy right hand. At the same time the nurse puts the thermometer into Buffy's mouth. Thirty second later the thermometer starts to beep and Dr. Kat walks into the room.

"I have been throwing up since around 6:30 this evening, my abdomen is swelling, I have pain in my lower right abdomen, have no appetite. In addition I'm really nausea and have diarrhea with gas since 3:22 this afternoon."
"Nurse Rose draw some blood and run tests on the blood. Buffy do you think you could give us a urine sample?"
"No, I think I am dehydrating."
"That is fine, Nurse Rose start Buffy Summer on an IV to get her rehydrate and I am going to get the ultrasound machine as the nurse drawers your blood and start an IV Buffy."
"Ok."

"Sure Buffy, Riley starts with Buffy tonight and keep an eye out for that Lei-ach demon we saw lurking around early, but could not catch up to because I have a feeling it will find Buffy bone marrow a great meal."
"I will Giles."
