Hehe. I feel special =D Thank you all so much for the reviews, I really appreciate them. You guys rock! lol.

As for the whole assumption of them liking the world they're in... It may be correct. But assumptions are very often wrong.

So, enjoy =D

"Thank you for helping me today," Buffy said. "You know me, forgetful girl."

Willow just smiled and nodded as her and Buffy walked out of their classroom. Willow was really surprised by Buffy's actions towards her. Usually the blonde was cruel and threatened her and now she was befriending her like she was a totally different person.

Maybe this is all some trick... Like, a game. So that I'll think she's my friend and them boom, my whole world falls before me. No, Buffy wouldn't do that... Or the today Buffy wouldn't... Willow thought, and sighed in confusion. What am I going to tell Xander?

"Hey, which way is the library?" Buffy asked. Maybe Giles is still here... Maybe I can confide in him.

"Um... Down the hall and to the right," Willow said. "You're not eating lunch with us?"

"No, I think I'll pass. I have some work I need to catch up on. But, thanks for the offer," Buffy said. "Oh and say hi to Xander for me."

"Ok..." Willow said and watched as Buffy hurried off.

"Were you just talking to Buffy?" Xander asked, walking up beside her.

"Um... You saw that?"

"Did she threaten you again?" Xander asked. "She thinks she's so tough."

"Um... No, she didn't threaten me exactly... I think maybe she's changed..." Willow said, looking up at her friend. "Ok, crazy thought, I know. But... Never mind. Let's go eat."

"Now you're speaking my language."

Buffy opened the door to the school library and walked inside. Looking around herself, she saw that it was quite similar to the one she had been used to.

As you first walked in, it was a large area, with four tables scattered, each complete with four chairs. There was a staircase to the back that led up to all kinds of bookshelves, and another door which she thought was the stocks.

She looked over to an office on her left as a man walked out, his nose buried in a book. Buffy tried to control herself from running into his arms like she did Willow. The sight of a familiar face made her feel safe in such an odd place.

"Buffy," he said. "May I help you?"

"Uh, yeah... Hopefully. Giles, something really odd is going on," she said, resting her bag on a desk.

"A demon?"

"No... Well... Maybe. But, I'm afraid that you might... Well you might think I'm a little bit insane," she said.

"Not at all. You can tell me."

Buffy hesitated a minute. Well, he seems like the same Giles. "Can you not notice? I mean, for one thing, look at me. This is the only thing in my wardrobe that's actually presentable. Willow was completely shocked when I hugged her, which where I come from, we do a lot. And, and, and... I'm dating Spike!"

Giles looked at her, confused. "Well, everything seems to be in order. Are you feeling ok?"

Buffy's jaw dropped. "You're kidding me?"

"No... Quite frankly, I'm not. That's the life you made for yourself. Everything was in your control. Well, except for you becoming the Slayer."

"So you're still my Watcher?" she asked. "Phew. At least something is normal around here."

"Are you sure you're feeling ok? Maybe you should go home and rest."

"That's kind of hard to do when you don't know where home is, don't you think?" she said.

The two looked to the door when they heard it open, and Buffy jumped off the desk when she saw Spike walk inside. Giles just simply glared at him as Buffy grabbed her bag and headed over to him. She turned back to Giles.

"I'll come to pick up my books after school," she said, closing the library doors behind her.

"Red told me I could find you 'ere. There a reason you're at the library luv?" Spike asked.

"What? Am I not allowed? Last time I checked this was a free country," Buffy said, starting to walk back to the cafeteria.

"What is up with you Buffy?" he asked, grabbing her arm.

She spun around to stare him in the eye. She was ready to yell at him, but sighed instead. "Let's just say, it's that time of the month. It has nothing... It has nothing to do with you. But, I want to be alone, ok?"

He let her go and backed up, nodding. "Ok, yeah. I wouldn't want to get on your bad side, would I?"

He smiled at her, and leaned down to kiss her. She turned her head so that he got her cheek instead of her lips.

"Um... Call me later, ok?" she said before turning and walking away.

"Ok."
