[pm] Whatever you are planning, there must be another way. A way to fight it. You cannot throw yourself onto the pyre, not again.

[pm] We can try to fight it all we want, but if and when the time comes, I’m registering. Hopefully just me. If you can see another way, feel free to show me. As of right now this is the only future I see where the world doesn’t end up in mortal peril, and it’s the one I have to make happen.

watcher-rupertgiles replied to your post: [pm] Thank you.

[pm] I know. Thank you for being you, for forgiving and caring. I knew it was bad, but I thought perhaps she needed space, or that Faith could handle it. I am sorry. Thank you.

[pm] You’re welcome.

[pm] Thank you.

[pm] She’s my best friend. I don’t know why I thought I should ever back down from trying to be there, Giles. I don’t know what would have happened if I wasn’t, but she was really in it.

It is rather a trend, isn’t it?

They never do seem to learn. Everyone knows being fake is so last season.

watcher-rupertgiles replied to your post: Do you not hate Faith anymore for what she did to Dawn?

Thank you both.

I couldn’t stop myself if I tried Giles. You’re too important to me. And not just me, everyone.

[pm] Buffy, this is hardly that simple.

[pm] How is this any different than anything we’ve faced before? It’s a pretty easy formula of defeat: Find out what it is, find out how to kill it, and then kill it.

watcher-rupertgiles replied to your post: [pm] There is something I need to tell you.

[pm] Word travels fast.

Well either way, Faith and I aren’t going to let that happen. You’re not dying on us yet.

[pm] There is something I need to tell you.

[pm] Is it by any chance the fact that you’re marked for death or whatever? Faith already told me that.

If she was supposed to be keeping it a secret, she really didn’t do too good of a job.

Nothing is happening, Buffy.

I’m not stupid. You wouldn’t say something like that if things were normal. You’re hiding something and your sounding all doomy. I guess this is what it feels like to be Dawn…

watcher-rupertgiles replied to your post: I am so very proud of you.

If anything should happen to me, you must stay strong. Everyone is counting on you.

Something’s happening to you? Giles, I need to know what’s wrong. I’m strong. Whatever it is, I can help.
