Dawn and Giles are sitting in the living room, both confused about what
just happened.
"Faith, is everything alright?" Giles asked with concern.
"Yeah, G-man. Everything's fine. Nothing that the end of the world won't cure."
"Are you [I]sure[/I] you're ok?" Dawn asked.
"I'll be alright, I just—gotta find Willow." With that, Faith hurried out of the house.
Dawn looked at Giles who was shaking his head in disbelief and cleaning his glasses.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I beg your pardon?" Giles looked up at Dawn, and put his glasses back on his face.
"Giles—you look on disapprovingly at everything that goes on around here."
"Dawn, this is a very serious time. We're on the brink of another apocalypse."
"See- Giles, 'another.' We've been through this before. We've gotten through it before."
"How do can you be so positive we'll get through it this time?"
"I can't. That's why I've been doing this research. That's why Buffy and Willow and Faith have been trying to relax and prepare themselves for this fight. Giles, 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.'"
Dawn stood and headed for the kitchen. This left Giles sitting in the living room by himself, quite perplexed.
"When did she grow up?" He said to himself.
-----------
Cut to: the basement.
Spike is muttering to himself about being stuck in the basement.
"Spike...?"
Buffy called down the steps. Not receiving an answer she decided to walk down.
She found a shirtless vampire, sitting on the cot, somewhere in outer space.
"Hey." She said as she sat next to him. "What's with the eyebrows?"
"Huh?...oh, sorry. I—"
Buffy looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Brooding?"
"No, that's the Poof, not me. I don't brood. I was just... thinking."
"About the battle?...about being the champion?"
"About that kiss."
"It was a mistake." Buffy sat forward and put her folded arms on her knees.
"Didn't feel like one, luv."
"What is it with you vampires? Always gotta turn something simple into complicated. It was [B]just[/B] a kiss."
Buffy stood and walked away.
What the bloody hell was that all about? Spike thought to himself.
"Faith, is everything alright?" Giles asked with concern.
"Yeah, G-man. Everything's fine. Nothing that the end of the world won't cure."
