What Makes Green Eggs And Ham, Green?
Quoth The Raven, Nevermore.
Buffy looked over at the couple and a wave of jealously fell over her. The suddenness of the feeling left her momentarily dazed. That was strange, she thought. Why was she jealous of Xander and Cordelia? She felt that way before when she saw them kissing, or do she? She couldn't remember. That too was strange. She began to search through her mind for a possible explanation for her feelings. What was the cause of the jealously? She thought about the scene that she had been confronted with, Xander and Cordelia kissing. Then it hit her; it must be because of their closeness. Something that was very much lacking in her own life. It was her desire for a similar sort of companion that had created those feelings of jealously. It was obvious to her now. The fact that Willow has Oz must have doubled her own feelings of loneliness to a point where the actions of a loving couple could cause her to feel jealous. A times life really sucks, she thought. The moment you are alone everyone else in the world gets hooked up. There is probably a word for that, I guess I should pay more attention in English class, thought Buffy.
There hadn't been much activity in her recent patrols and Giles was getting slightly worried. Buffy didn't know why, to her less work was a good thing. Must be because he is English, makes him worry more. Whatever it was he was much more silent than usual and that disturbed Buffy. None of the others seemed to notice but then again none of the others have super slayer powers. There was something about his demeanor, big word maybe she had been paying attention in English class, which triggered the red alarm in Buffy's head. He spent more and more time engrossed in his books. Now this may seem like the obvious course of action of a librarian and a watcher but there was an indescribable way in which he did this that caught the attention of Buffy. She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she felt it. This was part of the reason why she hadn't mentioned anything to the gang. She kept it to herself hoping that it would turn out to purely in her mind. Although she wasn't too keen on the idea of her slowly becoming insane. She would take that over having a world threatening evil, again. She never understood why all these demons were trying to destroy the world. What makes them sure that they will like what it would become? And everyone who has tried to beforehand had failed, why do they think they will success? She thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that it must be because they are evil and trying to destroy the world is some sort of tradition for them. Like having turkey for thanksgiving.
Buffy had been standing staring into space for quite a while. So long in fact that it had attracted the attention of Xander, "Hey Buff, what you looking at?"
"Nothing." She replied. It was the true. There was nothing peculiar she was looking at.
"You been standing there for ages."
"I was just thinking." Again it was the truth.
"What about?" Inquired Xander.
The memory of her feelings of jealously quickly brought her back into reality. "Err…nothing."
"You were staring at nothing while thinking about nothing?" Xander asked in that half-serious way when she couldn't tell if he was mocking her or not.
"Just a whole big load of nothing." She replied assuming that he wasn't being serious.
"I hear ya." She sighed in relief. He had been joking. "After trigonometry my brain kind of shuts down."
"They should put a warning on trigonometry textbooks. Caution: May cause loss of brain function."
At this Xander let out a loud laugh.
End of chapter two, please make up your own chapter three as I am feeling extremely lazy.
