"Well everything's here." Willow told her, "So Tara and should be setup in five minutes and we might see immediate results or it might take hours, but I think the pain should dissipate if we do this right. Remember this is a really unusual spell and I'm not sure it will work."
"Will, I've read the warning label, but we have to do something," Buffy said sliding onto the couch defeated.
"Hey, we're going in. I just didn't want to get your hopes up." Willow hugged Buffy before going in to setup for the hardest spell she'd ever had to do.

"Hey thank you for trying to help my friends. Most people wouldn't understand that a vampire could be good and in need of help. Now let's get chanty."
