Willow never really fell asleep after Angel's visit, so her morning was a blur. She hadn't seen Buffy before school, but, now she had to meet the gang for lunch. * How am I going to lie to Buffy? I can't lie, she'll see right through me. *
Willow walked into the library. * I'm amazed that Giles lets us bring food in here. * She carried her lunch in a plain paper bag. Everyday she ate the same thing: PB & J, pretzels, and an apple.
"Willow, thank God you are here," Xander said. "Finally someone else can listen to Buffy complain."
"I'm not complaining," Buffy said. "I'm just explaining to Xander that guys aren't worth the trouble they cause. Besides, Will had to listen to this for hours last night." Willow nodded.
Giles decided to join the group at the table. "Willow, I need you to look up…." She had started to fall asleep. "Willow, are you alright?"
"Huh, " she murmured.
Buffy jumped in, "I didn't keep you up too long last night did I?"
"No, " Willow said. "I just didn't get much sleep last night."
"What were you doing so late last night, secret meeting with your lover?" Xander joked.
"I was talking to An….drew, my friend Andrew. He needed help with his homework." * That was close. *
"Maybe you should get some rest tonight, " Xander said.
"Good idea, doesn't look like I'm going to make it to the Bronze tonight, " Willow added.
Xander smiled at Buffy. "Looks like it's just you and me. No annoying dead guys dancing with you all night."
* * *
Willow flopped down on her bed. * Finally, I can get some sleep.* Xander and Buffy had already left for the Bronze, so Willow was planning on ten hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Meanwhile, Buffy and Xander were having fun at the Bronze, well at least Buffy was. Xander had counted at least six different guys she had danced with, none of which were him. * God I'm pathetic. * Xander decided that there was only one way to get Buffy's attention. He strutted over to the best looking girt at the Bronze (besides Buffy).
"Bambi," he asked, "Want to dance?" She just laughed at him. Depressed, he waked back to him empty table. Buffy walked over and sat down. "Why the sad face?"
"Well," Xander said, "unlike some people, I'm not the dancing machine tonight. I'm outta here."
As Xander left, he saw Buffy dancing with guy number seven.
* * *
Morning came way too early for Willow. She got up and took a shower. Then, she noticed something different, unexpected. On her keyboard, there was a bouquet of flowers. * How did they get there? *
She walked over and picked up the flowers. "Ooh, daises!" She looked inside and found a card.
Willow, thank you for all your help and
support. You're a great friend. I hope
these flowers will brighten your day.
I didn't want to wake you because you
looked so tired. I've decided to disappear
for a while, but I promise to keep in
touch. If there is an emergency, call me
at 543-4882.
