"Oh my god, this is so gorgeous!" Willow exclaimed, holding up a delicate clock. Its machinery was completely visible, due to the fact that the casing of the clock was made entirely of glass.
"And expensive," Buffy pointed out, checking the price tag, "there's no way I'll ever afford that."
The three were in a shop, looking for a birthday present for Dawn, whose birthday was coming up. They've looked at books, clothes, cosmetics and CDs and came up with nothing good yet within budget.
"I wish people around here will sell things that are actually affordable." Buffy complained, putting the clock back on the shelf.
"I know," Willow agreed, "hey let's get something to eat. With luck, food will still be buy-able."
The girls giggled all the way to the food court, and ordered their food. As Buffy sat down with her tray, she realized with a start how much fun she was having. She actually felt like a normal girl out with her friends, and was able to put behind the fact that she was in a completely unfamiliar place and that she was just talking to a ghost. Maybe it wasn't pointless to hope for a bit of normalcy after all.
The afternoon disappeared as they shopped through the whole town. They stopped in front of a posh-looking jeweler.
"Well.it's pretty unlikely that we'll afford even the hook on a pair of earrings from a place like that." Buffy said uncertainly.
"Yeah, but it'll be fun to look," Willow insisted, "last shop for the day?"
Reluctantly, Buffy and Kennedy agreed and they entered the shop together. Buffy was right-the cheapest thing in the shop was twice her budget. Still, they had fun as they browsed through the shop and sighed with envy at the beautiful earrings, necklaces and other jewelry.
"Hey!" Willow picked up her discovery. It was the same clock they saw earlier on, with one difference-it was almost half the price of the one earlier.
"You know," Buffy examined the clock closely, "I can almost afford this."
"We'll pitch in." Willow and Kennedy chorused, and grinned.
Buffy smiled and rested the clock in her left hand as she searched through her bag for her purse. As she stuck her head in her bag to look, the fur covering on something in her bag tickled her nose and she sneezed.
Things happened so fast Buffy wasn't sure that she saw everything. Forgetting that she was holding something, Buffy moved her hand to cover her mouth, which caused her to drop the clock. As she gasped, Kennedy made to catch the clock, which slipped through her fingers. Willow, standing a few feet away, shoved her hands out with no hope to reach it.
The clock stopped mid-fall and jumped back onto the shelf.
Buffy and Kennedy turned slowly to look at Willow, who was staring at her hands in shock.
"Did I do that?" she looked at them for confirmation. They nodded.
"Oh my gosh," Willow gasped, "oh god. This is really bad."
Fortunately, the shop was pretty deserted so nobody saw anything. The three were incredibly silent as they made their way back. As soon as they stepped into the room, Buffy hurried towards her room, mumbling something about resting. Willow tried to follow her, but Kennedy shook her head and led Willow away.
Buffy slumped onto her bed, unable to believe that she was so happy just an hour ago. Why is it that nothing goes right in her life anymore? She knew that she couldn't blame Willow, but it was just that.her life was such a mess.
Meanwhile, Kennedy has dragged Willow off. "Willow," she asked, "what's wrong?"
"I don't know," Willow shook in shock as she answered, "it's been a long time since my powers got away from me, and never like that."
Kennedy put an arm around her shoulders. "It's okay," she comforted, "we'll get through this."
Willow looked up into her eyes. "We will?" she said.
"Yes," Kennedy was determined, "c'mon, let's go talk to Giles."
