Buffy walked into the hatch to find Hurley sitting at the computer. Noise could be heard in the background, “Hey, have you seen Noelle? Clair and Boone’s daughter?”
“Yeah, she’s in there,” he replied, indicating the room Buffy heard noises coming from.
She walked inside and saw that Noelle was watching a movie on the projector. Buffy smiled the movie was Young Frankenstein. Xander had made her and Willow watch it so many times. It was his favorite after Apocalypse Now.
Gene Wilder was tossing and turning on the screen pretending to have a bad dream as he played the character of Fredrick Frankenstein, “I am not a Frankenstein. I'm a Fronkensteen. Don't give me that. I don't believe in fate. And I won't say it………All right, you win. You win. I give. I'll say it. I'll say it. I'll say it. DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME! DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME!”
Buffy smiled at the irony of the scene and what she had to discuss with Noelle, “Mind if I join you.”
Noelle shrugged and Buffy sat down next to her, “If you’re going to try and convince me to kill that demon because it’s my destiny or whatever just save your breath.”
“I didn’t come because of that.”
“Then why did you?”
“I get it, what you’re going through.”
“How could anyone?”
“Because when I was little older then you so guy came up to me and told me it was my destiny to save the world.”
“What’d you do?”
“I told him he was crazy and then I allowed him to show me proof that it was real. Then I freaked out and he died and then I set my school gym on fire……to save the world or at least L.A.”
“And then what?”
“Then my mom and I moved and I met someone else who told me it was destiny and I couldn’t escape it. Actually I met a few people,” Buffy smiled, “And I accepted it. It took me a little while but I realized this is who I am and I can’t change that.”
“What’ll happen if I don’t kill this thing?”
“According to the prophecy?”
Noelle nodded.
“It’ll kill you.”
“Having a destiny sucks.”
“Tell me about it,” Buffy said, thinking about what she was about to do for hers, “So what are you going to do?”
Noelle sighed, “Well seeing as I have this urge not to die I guess I’m going to go kill a monster. Are you sure there’s not like a choice C were I hide out until this thing goes away and gets bored.”
Buffy laughed, “Sadly no.”
“Just thought I’d ask. Might as well weigh my options.”
