Hello all. Sorry I haven't updated for a couple days. Life's been crazy. But I'm writing more as we speak - well, as I write and you read. For those of you wondering, the whole Band Candy fiasco happened already.

Joyce's Point of View
I should talk to Buffy and Faith separately. Give them a little motherly advice. Goodness knows that Buffy could use some. The only relationship she's ever been in was with a dead – excuse me, undead – man who had a bicentennial birthday. I know about Angel, I just hope that they didn't do anything that they'll – well, Buffy will – regret. She tried to hide it from me, but a mother always knows. Plus, I found that letter that must have arrived for Buffy yesterday. She just let it sit on the coffee table! When I was that age, I was sneaky. She doesn't need to know that, of course. Ha. There is some information that is best left unknown.
I feel sorry for Buffy, but Angel did appear to be leaving for her own good. At least he did something right. He wanted her to be happy, the letter said. I think she will be. I think she's found something in Faith that she's been looking for. I hope, anyway. I'll feel better about it if Faith is here more; I think Buffy is a good influence. I've noticed that Faith seems to drop her tough girl act when she's around Buffy lately. Maybe she's letting Buffy see the real her. It seems that she's doing it around Dawn too. I wonder if Faith will talk to me, or if she'll just think I'm another nosy adult and disregard everything that I say. She seems to listen to Rupert once and a while, from what he's told me.
I wonder if the girls know about…no Joyce. Stop that. Don't even think about it. If you don't think about it, it's like it didn't happen. All of this repressing can't be good for me. Buffy must wonder why I appear to ignore most of the goings on in this town. Or maybe she can see right through the charade? Hmm.
Dawn's Point of View
Mom looks like she's deep in thought. We just came down to the kitchen, and she's leaning up against the sink, sipping her orange juice with a spaced-out look on her face. Oh well. It's Mom. I don't want to know what her thoughts are. I don't really want to know what anybody's thoughts are. Buffy and Faith's are probably constantly about sex. Eww. Oh god! What if Mom's thinking about sex?
Thank goodness! I hear Faith coming down the stairs – a welcome distraction.

Sorry this is so short! There's more to come, and soon! I promise!
