Out for a walk out two favorite friends are. Buff and Will. On a crisp November morning.

"So what do ya want to do today Will" Buffy asked in a cheery voice.

"I don't know. What can we do?" Will replied

"Hum. Well, we could go get some brunch. Frosted Flakes don't hold ya for long"

"We already ate Buff"

"Correction. I already ate. You had a bite of yogurt." Buffy instantly said

There was an awkward silence but they kept walking.

"Will...can we talk?"

"Uh, sure Buffy, what do you want to talk about?" Willow said

"Let's sit for a minute" Buffy pointed to a bench near them and they sat down.

Willow looked at her with a worried expression.

"Will" Buffy said looking down at her hand. "What's with this...no eating...thing?" Buffy looked up at her.

"What are you talking about Buff?

"You know well what I'm talking about. You never eat anymore. You have to use a belt for your pants now. Don't think I haven't noticed."

Willow looked down at the ground and fumbled with her hands.

"Will, you can tell me anything. You know that"

"Willow"

Buffy bent her head down to see Will's face.

She mumbled something that Buffy could understand.

"What?"

"I'm not pretty" Willow whispered in the softest voice

"What? That ridiculous Will. You're beautiful."

"Oh yea!" Willow yelled jumping up quickly, scaring Buffy.

"Yea, well then, how come my only boyfriend left me and I can only now attract girls? What's that all about huh Buffy!" Willow yelled.

"Calm down Will" Buffy said still sitting.

"Calm down! How can you calm down! Oh look at me, I'm Buffy, I can do anything, I can screw any vampire I like and everyone still loves me" Willow mocked her.

"Willow!" Buffy yelled jumping up.

"See you later" Willow said to Buffy in the hardest way.

Willow walked off but suddenly collapsed.

"Willow!" Buffy yelled running over to her and helping her up

"Get off me, I don't need your help" She ripped her arm out of Buffy's grip.

As she did so Buffy thought she saw a cut on Willow's arm but walked away to fast for her to tell.

She just stood there watching Willow storm off.

-----------------Night Time...Thunder Storm--------------

Xander and Buffy were watching a movie. The volume was way high because you couldn't hear over the thunder.

"Okay...here comes the good part" Xander said sitting on the edge of the couch.

Blank...the power went out.

"What! Aw, come on, that was the best part" Xander said.

"I'll find some flashlights" Buffy said getting up off the couch, Walking carefully through the house, not to knock something over in the pitch black.

She tosses a flashlight to Xander from the stairs.

"I'm gonna go give Will a light, be right back" Buffy said.

She went up the stairs, down the hall and to the door.

"Will?" She said. She knocked on the door.

"You okay? I have a light for you."

She opened the door and shined her light right on Willow.

She was in the corner, with a knife in hand.

Here comes Chapter 2
