In another part of the building...
"So we will be monitoring the progress of the Slayers under Buffy's training." Giles concluded.
"While helping Faith and Xander locate untapped Slayerettes." Dawn added.
"So do we get some kind of super cool, I'm a Watcher, t-shirt?" Andrew questioned.
"No, you silly boy. We will not have tshirts." Giles sighed, cleaning his glasses.
"Sorry I'm late." The door opens and a beautiful young redhead walks into the room, she glows from the inside with power and strength "Faith just got back and I needed to see how the new locator spell worked
out for her."
"And?" Dawn questioned motioning for Willow to take the seat next to her.
"Well, she had a new Slayer for training. Though, said Slayer was nursing one hell of a hangover." Willow grinned "Is anyone sure it's the best idea to send Faith after the new Slayers?"
"Well.she is kind of cool." Andrew offered. Willow chose to ignore this comment.
"I mean, she's not exactly a role model for young children." Willow continued.
"Faith, despite her shortcomings, had a remarkable natural aptitude for slaying. She is the second most experienced Slayer alive right now.." Giles started.
"And sending her off to recruit new Slayers keeps her out of Buffy's face 99.8% of the time." Dawn concluded.
"Ah.I knew there was a reason." Willow chuckles. "So, any word on ex- Principal Wood?"
"He's agreed to teach the girls practical sciences and strategy." Giles answered taking a pointy stake away from Andrew.
"What do I get to teach?" Andrew questions.
"I'm not sure Star Trek 101 will be all that useful." Dawn teased "Demonology.duh."
"Oh okay. As long as I'm being useful." Andrew smiled, ignoring the Star Trek comment.
"We will all make ourselves useful to Buffy and the Slayers. In whatever capacity we are needed." Giles interrupted their childish bickering "But our main duties will be here. As Watchers, training
others to follow in our footsteps. It is important that this
time in history be recorded and tracked, so that the line between Slayers and Watchers goes unbroken."
Willow stands and walks to Giles's side. She touches his arm gently. "We get that, Giles. We really do. That's why we volunteered to be your first Watcher trainees. We understand how important it is to rebuild the counsel."
"Yeah, we all do." Dawn echoed her support "Even Andrew."
"Yeah, even me." Andrew started "Hey, wait. Especially me!"
Giles smiles, "Good because if there is one thing I've seen demonstrated over and over again in my time as Watcher, it is that the Universe must have balance. For every evil there is an equal good. For every good."
"An equal evil." Willow finishes.
"Exactly. By unleashing the power of the Slayer.freeing the Call upon every girl who might be Called, we have done a powerful good." Giles
touches Willow's hand reassuringly "But, I fear, and will only confide this fear in you the consequence we might yet have to face. For every action."
"There is an equal and opposite reaction." Andrew grinned happily to finally get one right.
"You learn that from Star Trek?" Dawn giggled.
"Star Wars if you must know." Andrew grumbled.
"No matter how he came across this knowledge, Andrew is correct." Giles sighs and rubs his temples "We have done a great good, now we must wait and see what price we have yet to pay."
"So we will be monitoring the progress of the Slayers under Buffy's training." Giles concluded.
