No homecoming. Sorry.
"What did you say?" Buffy asked again, fighting the fit of yawns coming her way.
"I said 'Austin is the capitol of Texas'." Willow glared.
"Oh." Buffy smiled. "I thought you said Richmond is the capitol of Purple."
"Buffy! You promised you'd listen!"
"After I said no studying!" Buffy insisted then muttered. "Damn the fickleness of me."
"Five minutes." Willow sighed.
"Uugh." Buffy grunted and stood up.
"C'mon! You can't wreck your average now!" Willow cried.
"What am I? Your pet project?" Buffy asked, joking. "Chillax, Wills. I'm just going to get some chocolate."
"How 'bout after? It's not like it contains necessary vitamins or anything."
"True." Buffy sat down. "Hit me."
"What's the capitol of Utah?"
"Salt Lake Freaking City." Buffy groaned.
"You probably shouldn't write that on the test."
Buffy walked into study hall with Willow, both equally tired.
"I really…uh, need to get into the whole nocturnal thing." Willow yawned.
"It's takes some time." Buffy sat down at an empty desk. Willow joined her.
The bell rang and no teacher was to be found. Giles wasn't appearing. Eleven minutes passed.
"I heard that there was a secret rule that if a teacher's more than ten minutes late, we can all leave." Cordelia sighed.
"It's Giles' turn to watch study hall. He'll be here." Buffy looked up from studying briefly. "He's allergic to late."
"He is wound a little tight. I had this philosophy book checked out from the library for, like, a year, and he made me pay the fine, even though it was huge. " Buffy raised an eyebrow. "I was sad to return it. It was perfect for starting conversations with college boys. Of course, that was B.X." She smiled.
"B.X.?" Cordelia nodded "Before Xander. Clever."
"I can't believe this." Cordelia sighed. "Where is Giles already? I'm bored, and he's not here to give me credit for it."
Buffy was suddenly concerned.
"The big pinhead librarian didn't show up, and I don't wanna do it." Principal Snyder was in the doorway, he pointed to his companion Ms. Barton with a candy bar "You do it."
"Alright, fine. I'll do it." She rolled her eyes and walked into the room. "Ms. Barton: Hey! We're all stuck here, okay? So now let's just sit quietly and, and pretend we're reading something until we're really sure that old Commandant Snyder's gone. Then we're all outta here!" She smiled to Buffy's confusion.
"Does anyone else wanna marry Ms. Barton?" Xander piped up.
"Get in line." Cordelia ordered.
"I guess Giles isn't coming?" Willow seemed scared.
"I guess not." Buffy replied.
"Oookay, this is of the uber-scariness." Buffy exclaimed as she and Willow walked home. Everywhere they went, adults were acting insane. Riding bikes, getting in idiotic car accidents, drinking irresponsibly.
"They're acting-"
"They're acting like a bunch of us." Buffy clarified.
"I don't like this!" Willow declared "They could have a heart attack or something."
"Well maybe we can find a doctor?" She raised her eyebrows as they walked, surveying the destruction.
"One that hasn't gone completely crazy?"
"Good point." Buffy sighed.
"That's my candy!" A man exclaimed defensively in the distance as another man stole a chocolate bar from his grasp.
"oh my god!" Buffy cried.
"What?" Willow asked, eyes widened.
"It's the candy! It's evil chocolate!"
"Evil chocolate? That goes against all laws of man and science!" Willow started to whimper slightly.
"Oh crap." Buffy dropped her books. "I sold some to my mother, Giles, and Angel!"
"I sold them to my entire block!" Willow sighed. "I'm such a bad little neighbor."
"Well, um, maybe we can lock them up in the book depository in the library."
"Good idea."
"Except…Angel back into younger form makes bad guy."
"Ooky. Lock him up. Chain him, better yet." Willow was feeling almost faint.
"All I can say is thank God it's daylight."
