**************************************

Hi, Cordelia? It's Willow...

Yeah...

Uh-huh...

I said I was sorry about Harmony! Listen, Cordelia, I need your help...

No, it's not like that. What visions?...

It's not about Buffy...

She's fine...

Actually being dead was really good for her complexion, listen, it's about Xander...

He's fine...

He's doing woodwork...

Stop that! He's doing really well...

I don't know what he makes...

This isn't about his job, Cordelia. He's making a huge mistake...

Yes, at least as big as kissing me. God, let it go already...

No, wait, I'm sorry. Listen, he's getting married to Anya...

Well, yeah, it is ironic, but it's just wrong...

He won't listen to me, he knows I don't like Anya...

What? Yes I am still gay! That has nothing to do with this...

Because Anya's going to make his life hell, he just doesn't know it yet...

Well, she's obnoxious, and tactless, and she's a demon. Well, she used to be a demon at least, but you know what that can be...

You're what?...

Oh...

Really?...

How's that working out?...

Well, good for you!...

Yeah...um...will you call him?...

Xander!...

Just to talk to him...tell him...you could tell him you had a vision! Or that you still like him!...

Oh...oh! Really? Angel?...

Oh...

Does he know?...

Oh...

Oh...

Wow...

I don't know what to say...

Trust me, I will NOT tell Buffy!...

Yeah, I guess you can't help. It doesn't seem important now, for some reason...

Yeah, it was good to talk to you too...very...informative, in a new-secrets-to-keep kind of way...

You take care too...oh! Tell Angel...that I never called...

Yeah, that's...yeah...

Bye.
