"You should frame the picture," Xander commented when Joyce left the room.
Buffy set the picture on her table and reached for the remote. "MTV Time."
"But the incredibly boring old movie isn't over!" Xander protested as Buffy flipped through the networks supplied by Sunnydale's sucky cable service.
"Your mom lets you watch MTV?" Willow asked. "God. My mom doesn't let me do anything."
"For parents that are never around, yours sure make alot of rules." Xander commented.
"Your mom's being really cool about us staying here with you," Willow changed the subject.
"Yeah, I think the fever relapse got to her. She's all wiggy about me, major smotherage."
"Yeah, but the new clothes are nice." Willow smiled.
"And the CDs are cool," Xander added.
"Whenever you're done with them, I'd enjoy a turn listening to them, by the way." Buffy playfully hit him.
"Ow! I'm telling."
Buffy landed on MTV and rolled her eyes. "Marilyn Manson."
"Eeew, scary guy." Willow shuddered.
The video had a guy dressed up as a vampire. Buffy clicked the TV off. "Can you say 'hits too close to home'?"
"What are you gonna do?" Willow asked. "I mean, about Angel." she gripped her nails into Xander's skin so he couldn't say anything.
"I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna kill him." Buffy sounded as though she didn't believe what she was saying.
Willow practically drew blood on Xander's arm to keep him quiet. "Buffy--"
"Don't try to change my mind." Buffy's voice was low. "If I let him.....live, he'll keep hurting people. People that I love. And there's only one way to stop him."
"Big, horrid, painful death?" Xander asked happily before sucking on his new Willow-inflicted wound.
"Fast death," Buffy said. "As soon as I get my strength back."
"And a huge stake," Xander put in. "Hey, can I help with this Angel killage?"
"No one can help." she said flatly. "I have to do this on my own or not at all." she closed her eyes. "I wish I could just forget about him, in the romantic sense anyways." she paused, picturing him in her mind. "But I can't."
