Chapter 81

Buffy told Giles about her plans to go to the homecoming dance on Saturday with her old friend. Giles seemes less than thrilled.

Giles: You say your friends are becoming suspicious, now is not the time to get close to someone new.

Buffy: He's a guy I've known since the 4th grade.

Giles: We've only been training for one week, and you're already asking for time off.

Buffy: So when exactly do I get to be a normal teenager?

Giles: What if he becomes suspicious?

Buffy: Ford has't seen me in months. I'm not going to begin the conversation with "I'm a potential vampire slayer. Please don't call those nice guys with butterfly nets."

Giles: It's still a bad idea.

Buffy: Maybe, but it's my decision. And by the way, I wasn't "asking" for time off. I'm taking Saturday night off from training, just thought you should know.
