Life And Death After Highschool: Everything is Going to be Fine
by Buffy Anne Harris
A lime green van pulled up out front of a small ranch style house that sat on Revello Drive. Inside Willow Rosenburg pulled open the side door of the van. Stepping out on to the pavement of the driveway she was joined by her boyfriend Oz and her best friend Buffy's mother Joyce Summers. Hey made their way to the house silently. And Oz took Willow's hand as they walked.

Once inside the house Joyce, "Would either of you like something to drink?" Joyce asked heading quickly to the kitchen she was trying to avoid the fear and worry that filled her. "It's no trouble really. I have sodas," she added as they gave each other a look and followed her into the kitchen.

"That's ok Mrs. Summers." Willow tried to sound polite she could tell that she was scared. "Really we're good." Willow assured her with a weak smile. She looked to Oz for support, as they both sat down at the kitchen island.

Ms. Summers was scrambling around the kitchen she pulled open the refrigerator door, "Are you two sure? It's no trouble. Really." She was trying to keep herself busy anything to keep from thinking about what they had seen at the hospital. And to keep from thinking about what had happened to Xander. Though her efforts were in vain she couldn't wipe the images and knowledge from her mind. And she felt as though she should be out doing something trying to help. But what could she do? Other then get in Buffy's way like the way she had with the two little kids they found dead. Who turned out to be a demon. Oh there was just so much that Buffy went through and there was nothing Joyce could do.

Oz could see the strain and worry on her face and offered the only words he could to the woman. "Everything is going to be fine. We beat the mayor. Buffy can handle it." He smiled it seemed to ease the worried looks on both Joyce and Willow's faces, but was Oz convinced himself?
