[pm] Okay. Yeah. But like for real yeah, not sad yeah. I hope things get better for her soon, really.
[pm] I know you do.
[pm] Okay. Yeah. But like for real yeah, not sad yeah. I hope things get better for her soon, really.
[pm] I know you do.
[pm] Y-yeah, when they’re better. Totally.
[pm] Look, Will. I know stuff is tough with her right now. But she’s having a really tough time, she’s going through something really different. I understand, but I think it’s something only people who’ve come back can.
And I know it looks right now like maybe things will never be better, but they will. It takes time, but eventually things will be okay. I’ve lived through it and I know. So just keep your head up, don’t let what’s happening with her get you down. She’s down enough for the entire gang, but Spike and I are gonna help her. And she’s gonna get better the right way.
Just please remember that.
[pm] Are you kidding? I love it!
[pm] Well, when thinks get all betterfied with her, you can ask her to do some with you and I’m sure she’ll go for it. Hey, you can probably even have some sort of tourney or race or something!
[pm] Dawnie liked the crosswords? I /knew/ I wasn’t the only one who did them!!
[pm] Yes, and Dawnie like to force me to do them with her at every occasion. And especially when I wanted to go outside and play instead, that was always her favorite time to suddenly want to get her crossword on. But she’s Dawn so I don’t hold it against her. And nope, you’re not the Tigger of crosswords! Hope you aren’t disappointed.
[pm] Haha, I would’ve gladly been your damsel. My stuffed animals were never that great at the stunning heroics thing.
[pm] Dawn never used to let me. She was all “no buffy leave me alone i’m reading.” or sometimes “buffy come on just one more crossword puzzle”. She did not have time to sit around in distress.
[pm] I’ve heard bits and pieces. She was probably wild and cute as a button, you know? It sure would’ve been nice having you as my best friend growing up. I would’ve shared the throne of Narnia with you. And we could’ve played doctor together!
[pm] I’m pretty sure little me would have only been able to handle playing doctor if we got to play super Buffy rescues the damsel in distress afterwards! I was a pretty crazy kid myself, sorta bossy too. But we would have been the most adorable pair of buddies on the planet either way!
[pm] Not the best idea. She hates it when even /I/ mention it. But it’s sort of fun to think about, right? Patches and everything? On Faith?
[pm] Haha it makes me wonder what she was like as a kid. And you and Xander too. I wish I had known all of you my whole life, it feels that way, but I wish it was reality. You know? Because what would be cuter than baby Scooby Gang? Nothing.
I’d feel like it for you 😛
We could watch a movie or something. I mean, because we already played the card game. Which was fun don’t get me wrong, but Crazy Eights gets old after the ninth time or so, am I right?
Well shucks, Buff. You and me should hang out more often then, yeah?
Of course we should! If you feel like sitting next to a bed for hours on end that is 😛
Buffy: I’ll call her what I want 😛
Buffy: It sounds like a thing. A not nothing thing. Maybe you should… Talk to her about it?
Buffy: She could be feeling the same things you are, and unless you want to risk blood exchange and mind reader demon AIDS, you won’t know unless you ask.
Buffy: This sounds all stupid talk show, but communication is key. I think half my problems with the menfolk would be sorted if there had been like actual talking going on about thoughts and problems and stuff.
Willow: I don’t wanna jinx it or anything. And we have our ways, sort of. Like code, you know? And besides, as soon as you’re all healed up and everything she’ll probably go back to wherever she’s living.
Willow: I might still be hers, but that doesn’t mean I have the right to ask her to stay.
Buffy: Hey. Willow. Don’t give up. If you love something, you fight for it. You fight for it and sometimes you fight with it. But if it’s real and it’s the right thing to do, it stays. Angel and I, we used to get in the worst arguments. But I never stopped fighting, even after it was over.
Buffy: And you and Faith are not Angel and I. Just because we were doomed doesn’t mean you guys have to be.
Buffy: And you do have the right. You have the right to ask. It’s just a question, you’re not forcing her. She’ll either say yes or she’ll say no. And she can’t answer yes if you never ask the question, Will.
