It had been a couple days since Jenny had seen Rupert at the Planned Parenthood. She was out shopping for groceries, as per usual, when she saw him again. This time, Xander and Cordelia were with him, and they were talking to random people.
Xander ran up to her.
"Hello, hey, have you seen anything strange happening here ma'am?"
Jenny was about to tell him that she had, but Drusilla took over so she couldn't."
"Sorry, no I haven't."
Jenny clenched her fist in frustration.
Rupert ran up.
"What did s- Ms. D'Alessandro," he said, recognizing her immediately.
Somewhat recognizing her.
"Rupert."
They stood in awkward silence for a moment, before Xander cut in.
"Uh, hi, I'm Xander."
"Cheryl," Jenny reasoned casually.
Cordelia ran up as well.
"This one lady complained about this dead body drained of blood, and honestly I really hope I die in a couple of years because the fashion in 2009 is awfu-"
"Cordelia do you have no subtlety," Rupert whispered.
Drained of blood. Must have been one of Drusilla's nightly escapades.
"We're uhhhhh... we're larpers," Xander responded hurriedly, a wonderful save.
"That explains so much," Jenny sarcastically replied. The realization hit her that it was time to add some subtle signs of her identity.
"There's going to be a football match at our local stadium soon, have any of you been to a football game," she asked casually, hoping to remind Rupert of their first date.
His face shifted, she could tell she's reminded him.
"I'm actually on the cheerleading team at my school, so I've seen a lot of football."
Xander shrugged.
"Never played it, have been to a couple of games though."
"I-I've uhh I've been once," Rupert responded.
"What was the game like?"
"It was horrible I almost got decapitated and set on fire," Cordelia bluntly stated.
"Well I was on a-a date, and, as you could tell from Cordelia's summary, it didn't go great," Rupert was clearly sad, made sense considering she was probably presumed dead.
"I was playing a game on my computer earlier, Street Fighter," she waited for him to respond with some sort of sarcastic statement about computers, hoping an argument could start that would spark deja vu.
"Those weren't just-" he cut himself off, clearly not wanting to give away his whole time travel thing, "I thought those were just a fad."
"Well they weren't just a fad," she said in the same tone of voice from their early arguments.
Drusilla became frustrated, and suddenly took over.
"Sorry, I've got to to go."
Ms. D'Alessandro left in a hurry. Before she had left, her face had shifted oddly, in the same way it had at the clinic.
He hated all the reminders of Jenny. He was reminded of her love of computers, their first date. This wasn't the first time. Everything seemed to remind him of her.
Xander could clearly sense he was upset, despite his usual obliviousness.
"She was weird," Cordelia said.
