Back at Giles House
NOON
"Cordelia, for the 800th time. You NEED to STOP SCRATCHING!" Giles scolded Cordelia.
"But Giles!" she moaned, "it itches!"
"Willow and Oz should be back soon with something to help," he said simply getting back to some paperwork he had brought home. It was a restockment sheet he had got from the shop. They were low on supplies and with it being closed today he needed to do something.
"Nurse Willow and Doctor Oz ready for duty," Willow said as her and Oz came through the front door with a pink bottle of goop.
"This'll help," Oz said unscrewing the cap and putting some goop on his fingers. Willow followed suit. Cordelia sat up and Willow started rubbing it on to her back. It was cold and Cordelia yelped.
"It stings!"
"Sorry Cordy," Oz said as she rubbed some into her arms. When they were done gooping Cordelia up Giles placed two oven mitts over Cordelias hands.
"Hey Giles! I feel stupid enough already but what are these dumb things for?"
"Those dumb things," Giles said patting Cordelia on the head, "are so you will stop scratching."
"Everybody in the house has had chicken pox already right?" Buffy asked coming in from Nicky and Alex's bedroom.
"I have and Nicky and Alex both got it when they were 2," Giles said.
"Willow and I've had it," Oz said.
"And I've had it," Buffy said. There came cries from the baby monitor on the table.
Willow picked it up and said "Uh oh."
Back at Preschool
NOON
"Okay. According to this sheet Ms. Chase gave me it's time that we had some snacks," Anya said reading off of the piece of paper. The day had already been disasterous. No one except Emily listened to anything Xander or Anya had to say. Emily's outburst was still on Xander and Anya's mind. Snack time was no better. Ludwig started a food fight throwing his crackers at Jesse. The other children, again except Emily, joined in the fun. As Anya and Xander bussied themselves trying to get the other children under control, Emily went over to the water fountain to get some water as a familiar voice flooded her head.
"Find her," she whispered.
"It's her birthday today, Emily. You have to find Priscilla for me." Emily liked listening to Drusilla talk in her accent. Today though Drusilla and Spike were both scaring her.
"I don't know a Priscilla," Emily said frantically. Everyone grew quiet and went over to Emily. She didn't seem to notice.
"Find her Emily," Drusilla's voice pierced Emily's ears again.
"I don't know where to look Dru," Emily said, close to tears.
"She goes by Rose. She's friends with Dawn Summers. The slayer's sister," Drusilla whispered.
"Which slayer? Drusilla your not making any since and your scaring me!" Emily cried covering her ears, she started shaking.
"Find Buffy Summers," Drusilla said.
"Buffy Summers," Emily whispered and Drusilla's prescence was gone.
Back at Sunnydale High
2:10 PM
"So do you have to go straight home? I'd really like to introduce you to my family," Dawn said. Rose smiled.
"I'll come with."
"Hey look. It's the Prissy Priss," Derek and his gang came over to Dawn and Rose.
"Priscilla. What a name," Derek laughed pushing Rose.
"Hey leave her alone!" Dawn cried. The boys took no notice. One of Derek's cronies, Erik, went over to push Rose again but his finger got caught on her gold chain that held her locket. He tried to yank quickly away, but the chain snapped and the tiny locket skidded across the asphalt. Rose fell to the ground.
"Come on lets get out of this dump," Derek said as the 5 other kids followed, laughing. Rose got to her feet, tears filling her eyes. Dawn went over and picked up the locket that had spun open. She recognized the four people in it and gasped. On the left side of the heart was a picture of Drusilla, Spike, and Angel. On the right side was a picture of Angel with her sister in his arms.
"Buffy," Dawn whispered. Rose tore the tiny heart out of Dawn's hands and she started running.
"Rose wait!" Dawn cried. It was no use. Rose had already dissapeared aroundt he corner. Dawn stood shocked on the playground and she realized who Rose looked like.
She was a mirror image of Drusilla.
