"I saved you a seat," Eddie grinned stupidly as Jenny walked into the cafeteria on Monday. While Violet and Will rolled their eyes. If there had been any doubt in the student body that the new girl was getting with Eddie they were all dashed by their annoying, sickening-sweet behavior.

"I miss the days when a guy would push you on the ground and say you had cooties if he liked you." Violet grinned at Will.

"Hey, you can not prove that wasn't Eddie." Will retorted. "Besides I was provoked."

"Has anybody heard from Cody?" Violet asked suddenly changing the conversation and the mood.

"Last night," Will told her. "He and his dad are staying at the hospital with Faith."

"But Slayers have super healing powers right?" Jenny asked. "I mean I got stabbed by this vampire one time and it almost completely healed in two days. She just needs a couple of weeks for her healing powers to take effect."

"Usually, but Faith isn't as young as she was when she recovered from her coma maybe her body can't heal itself the way it used to. Or the Demon could have destroyed an important nerve-ending or something. All we know is that she's awake and miserable not being able to be the active person she has always been." Will tried to explain.

"Slayers really are restless people, no offense." Eddie smiled at Jenny. "I remember when mom broke her ankle and the doctor made her stay off of it for a week. I have never seen her that grumpy except when Dad goes to LA without her, but even then she uses the punching bag to vent her anger."

"Wow, you guys are really making me look forward to my after-school training session and the rest of my life in general." Jenny quipped.

"Sorry," Violet apologized. "Being a Slayer really is a good thing. You save a lot of lives and you never get stuck doing research, because you have to patrol."

"Where I could die and put everyone I care about in danger." Jenny added. "Wow, are all Scooby Meetings this depressing."

"Usually there are multiple forms of sugar." Eddie told her.

"You're late." Buffy glared as she turned to see Jenny and Eddie walking hand in hand into the Magic Box.

"I had to change into my gym clothes after English and grab some stuff out of my locker for homework tonight. I'm only two minutes late." Jenny put her back pack on the table.

"Don't let it happen again." Buffy warned as they walked into the back room. Buffy angry and Jenny looking like she was walking towards her execution.

"Ready to start Chemistry?" Violet asked Eddie coming over to the table.

"In a few minutes, I want to make sure they'll be okay back there. Mom had a funny look in her eyes.

As Eddie walked into the Training Room, Jenny was just finishing stretching, she waved at him and that was when Buffy struck the first blow.

"Ow, what was that for?" Jenny asked. "I wasn't ready."

"You think a Vampire cares if you're ready? I want you to focus on your opponent know where they are, anticipate their next move. It'll save your life and maybe those of the people around you." Buffy softened before they started training. Eddie had never seen anything like it. Sure he'd seen his mom spare with his dad or Faith, but watching Jenny was incredible. He finally understood why his dad liked following his mom on patrol. He was dating a Slayer and he couldn't be happier.
