Chapter 7
The next day, Buffy walked into the library burst into Giles' office.
Giles looked up. "Buffy. How was patrol?"
"It was fine but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. It's Cordelia. She called yesterday."
"Cordelia knows your phone number?" Giles asked, surprised.
"I guess she does. Anyway, she called to say that she's leaving for Los Angeles. She said that her dad's got this new job there but somehow I doubt it."
"So.why are you telling me this?" Giles asked.
"'Cause Cordy wanted me to," Buffy replied, glancing out the door. "Speaking of which, she's here and I want to interrogate her."
With that, she walked out, leaving Giles.
*****
Buffy emerged from Giles' office, wearing a forest green sleeveless top and black low-rise jeans. She headed straight for Cordelia.
"Oh, hey, Buffy. Did you tell Giles?" Cordy asked, casting Xander and Willow a brief glance.
"Yeah, I did. And I also wanted to ask you why you're leaving."
"I told you, Dad got a new job there," Cordelia said.
"Don't give me that new job crap. It's pretty obvious that you're leaving because Xander dumped you. The one guy you actually loved dumped you. It sorta makes sense. I mean, you have a reputation for using every guy you meet and then dumping him. Cordelia Chase, you have the most perfect life anyone could want-you can get another boyfriend anytime since any guy's willing to go out with you. You're pretty, popular.and now you're leaving it just because you got dumped. If you want my advice, leave the love behind and move on," Buffy said.
"Geez, Buff. I told you this with the hope that you wouldn't ask me any questions. Guess I was wrong." Saying that, Cordelia turned and walked out of the library.
Buffy sighed and went over to where Xander and Willow were talking. They stopped, seeing Buffy's face.
"What's wrong, Buffy?" Willow asked, frowning slightly.
"Cordelia. Moving to Los Angeles."
"Cordy's moving?" Xander repeated, his eyes widening.
Buffy nodded. "Yeah. And if you hadn't broken up with her, then maybe she wouldn't have decided to leave."
"Are you saying this is my fault?"
While all this was going on, the phone rang in Giles' office. He picked it up.
"Hello? Oh, what a surprise to hear from you.Yes.yes.oh my.this is certainly a surprise.we'll handle it.yes.yes.thank you.yes, I shall. Goodbye."
With that he set the phone back down, looking very worried. He stood up and came out of the office.
Seeing him, the trio kept quiet and looked at him in anticipation.
"Buffy, Willow, Xander, I just received a phone call from the Council. You will not be pleased to know that the Master has been resurrected."
Buffy's jaw dropped. "He what?!"
