Chapter Two – This Chapter Contains A Hidden Message.

[Sunnydale Hospital]

Willow: And will it be a full recovery?

Doctor: It is too soon to tell.

Buffy: When will he wake up?

Doctor: Anytime now.

[The doctor's beeper goes off]

Doctor: I have to gone. I'll be back in an hour time to see how he is doing.

[Doctor leaves]

Willow: He looks so peaceful doesn't he?

[Buffy nods]

Willow: No sign of how close he came…to…you know.

Buffy: Yeah.

[Willow turns from looking at Xander to Buffy]

Willow: We nearly lost him.

Buffy: I know.

Willow: I couldn't have taken it if I lost him.

Buffy: Willow, Willow. It's okay. He's fine. See. You think a little impaling would stop our Xander?

[Willow smiles]

Buffy: And he wouldn't dare die on us, think of the ass kicking I would give him if he did.

Willow: It's just that he is Xander.

Buffy: I know what you mean. This whole thing has made me…

[Xander's eyes slowly open]

Willow: Xander! Xander, can you hear me?

Xander: I think everyone in the hospital can you hear, Will.

[Both Buffy and Willow smile]

Xander: I am in a hospital, right?

Buffy: The finest hospital in all of Sunnydale.

Xander: There's only one hospital in Sunnydale.

Buffy: That's true.

Willow: Do you know what happened to you?

Xander: I remember we were fighting some vampires and I got throw in the air. Then there was lots of pain and then I woke up here.

Willow: You were impaled on an iron railing.

[Xander's hand moves down to his wound]

Xander: That sounds serious.

Buffy: Don't worry you'll be fine.

Xander: Everything in working order?

Willow: You'll be as good as new in a month. Well maybe not new, in good condition with only one owner.

Buffy: You know what they say; that what does not kill you makes you stronger.

Xander: I must have superhero strength then. So, when am I getting out of here?

Willow: They need to keep you overnight for observation.

Xander: That doesn't mean they will be watching me when I sleep does it?

Buffy: No. Wait I'm not sure. It might.

Willow: Then you have to spend a month resting at home.

Xander: No work?

Buffy: No anything.

Xander: No anything? I kind of need to do some anythings.

Willow: Sorry, Doctor's orders.

Xander: What will I do then?

Willow: Buffy and I will be your nurses.

[Xander's eyes lit up]

Buffy: And no we will not be wearing any uniforms.

Xander: Aww…It might help me recover more quickly.

Buffy: Sorry not in the job description.

Xander: Where's your compassion?

Buffy: Just below my morals.

Willow: Hey, Xander.

Xander: Yeah Wills.

Willow: Thanks for not dying.

Xander: You know me, anything for my friends.

[They all hug – music begins to play]

[Music gets louder and louder. The picture begins to darken]

[Credits begin to roll]

Xander: Not that I'm not enjoying this but you are kind of suffocating me.
