Chapter 4

So I'm in college. This may be cool. But I have that Bio test today. What if she, me fails? It'll ruin everything. Calm down, calm down. OK I'll have faith that she'll do well. What about Max? What if? What if? Liz Parker, no Buffy Summers will enjoy this. I will not worry. No aliens. No aliens, Liz thought.

Liz was in class. She sat next to the red head from her dorm room. She was trying to listen to the lecture the professor was giving but her worries dominated her mind.

Ms. Summers what do you think about embryotic stem cell research? the professor asked Liz.

Uh, um Liz managed to get out. You know this. Just say it. Remember it was all over the news.

I'm all for it. If the embryos aren't going to be used in the first place then its better that it have some use. It could be a gateway to a cure for numerous disorders and diseases. Liz said not missing a beat.

Everyone in class looked at her. Normally Buffy would play it off. Try to catch a nap here and there. But this was Liz Parker. Scientist extrodnarie.

Thank you for your opinion. You should speak more often instead of taking a cat nap. the professor said going back to her desk and unfolding some papers. Here is your homework. You have to have this completed by the end of the week. I would suggest some of you to consider taking the extra credit. Take the papers by the end of class.

The class finished and Liz grabbed all the necessary papers. This isn't hard. I know this too, she thought. Looking at the extra credit. No problem.

Hey Buffy, the red head said to her friend,I'm going to the machine, do you want anything?

No I'm ok. Liz replied.

The red head went to the machine fighting off the hungry jocks and Liz looked in her red messenger bag. Willow Rosenburg, Sophomore, 20, UC Sunnydale. Willow? Ok so I know one of her friends now. What's this? She picked up what looked like a voodoo doll.

Isn't it cool? Willow said getting back from the machine, Tara taught me how to make one. Its a protection doll. I'm going to make a couple more. One for Xander and Giles and everyone else.


Liz nodded her head. Not believing that this girl in front of her made a voodoo doll. No a protection doll. Protection from what? Xander? Giles? Why does everyone have a weird name? Well I know aliens so it can't be that bad.
