Chapter 2: Invitation to the Olde World
Dearest Buffy,
Hope all things are well in Sunnydale. Things here in England are just fine. I know I haven't written in quite a while, and I'm sorry for that, but things around here have been quite hectic lately. I trust that you all have been keeping the demon and vampire population under control. How's Willow doing with her magical abstinence? I hope she stays strong. It's a big decision and she needs lot of strength. Have Xander and Anya made up yet? She hasn't fallen for D'Hoffryn's tricks has she? I hope not. But that is enough of chitchat. There are more important matters to discuss. Between the Council and I, we have something of great importance and concern to you. We will need you to come out here in order to go over these things with you. I have enclosed 3 airline tickets for you, Dawn and one other. The flight will leave from LA airport approximately 7:30 pm (your time), on Monday evening, with a stopover in New York City, then onto England. As of this moment, I have not been informed as to when you shall be returning and that the Council intends to supply your tickets home AFTER you arrive, settled in and all things have been settled. The council also informs me that they have arranged for your ride and accommodations here in England. Well, that is all I have for now. I shall call before you leave if I find out any more information.
All My Love and Best Wishes,
Giles
