Epilogue
Buffy listened quietly, with rapt attention, to the full stories of Steve and Jaime's accidents, their subsequent transformations and their current, somewhat Slayer-like abilities.
"Wow," she said breathlessly, when Jaime was done. "Makes me sorry for what I was starting to think."
"What was that?"
"Well...I kinda thought you might be a rogue Slayer," Buffy said sheepishly.
"And me?" Steve wanted to know.
"I thought you were a vampire."
Steve sucked in his lower lip, jutted his top teeth out as far as he could, grabbed the afghan from the sofa to use as a cape, and proceeded to chase the two woman all aound the living room.
"I - am - Count Steve-ula!" he boomed.
Buffy nudged Jaime and leaned over to whisper, laughing, in her ear. "He's got a lot to learn."
