Hi there again. As always, there are spoilers in this little ditty...Yay for spoilers! Joss owns it all. I own nothing...apparently not even my own mind when it comes to what tv show to watch!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Start Scene 3:

Buffy sits at her desk. She's balancing 400 paperclips on her foot. She'd think about how evil Spike has become...but this is so much more interesting.

BUFFY: God, I'm bored...now.

End insignificant Scene 3.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Start Scene 4.

Dawn, Willow and Xander sit on the couch in Buffy's house. Buffy is happily arranging her weapons.

DAWN: Buffy, what are you doing?

BUFFY: Dawn, where are Carlos and Kit? I was so hoping that they would occupy more of your time! You're becoming far too insightful for this household!

DAWN: You didn't answer my question.

BUFFY: I don't have to! I'm Buffy!

XANDER: Dawn is right, Buffy.

BUFFY: Xand-ER! You don't understand! I have to be alone, and the law!! I am the slayer!!!

WILLOW: For god's sake Buffy! Just tell them what you are doing with the weapons! The fans are already getting bored. Believe me, they get that you are a cold-hearted bitch...you don't have to rub it in everyone's face. You'd think they were stupid...

BUFFY: Fine! I will have you know that I *have* to kill Spike! (she begins to cry and looks out into space) That makes the 2nd vampire with a soul that I have *had* to kill! God, I loved Angel!!!

WILLOW: And I loved Oz, I got over it. Buffy, it seems like you are forcing all of the men in your life to leave because you're afraid of really loving someone.

Silence...this statement is ignored and will remain unspoken of for the next six years.

XANDER: Well, do you have a reason for killing Spike?

BUFFY: He's evil!

XANDER: The man's insane! Even I feel sorry for him!

BUFFY: Who cares what anyone else thinks?!?

Enter Anya.

ANYA: Well, he does have a soul now...

Buffy rolls her eyes.

BUFFY: Yeah, how lame is *that*?

All stare at Buffy. A stunned silence comes over the room...
