Having taken care of buisness, washed their faces, and reaplied their
make-up, Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia felt refreshed and awake. The three
chattered about the prom as they entered the library. Buffy and Willow
were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice anything
odd at first. But Cordelia did.
"Oh my God," she whispered, survaying the scene.
Buffy and Willow turned and viewed the chaos Faith and her buddies had left
behind. Books were askew, chairs were turned over, and the guys were
missing. They walked over to the table, where Buffy picked up Faith's
note. She read out loud in a trembling voice.
"Hey B, miss me. I thought alot about you today. About those stupid
tests Wesley put us through. So I decided to give you a test of my own.
I wonder, how long can you function without a man in your life? Lets
find out. Oh, and B. Don't mess with me. Remember, I got what you
want. Later. -Faith"
Buffy dropped the note in shock. Willow looked at Buffy, her eyes full of fear.
But Cordelia had noticed a sparkle on the ground and walked over to
investigate.
"Hey, Buffy," she broke the silence. "Did you drop your ring?"
She handed the ring to Buffy, whose eyes grew wide when she saw it.
"This is Angel's," Buffy relized
"Angel's? asked Willow.
"He wanted to let me know that Faith got him too, so that I wouldn't
waste time going to his place."
"What are we gonna do? asked Cordelia "Wesley's in trouble!!!"
Buffy and Willow stared at her in shock and amazment.
"And Xander 'n' everybody," she murmered, looking down.
"I'll tell you what we're gonna do," said Buffy. "Save them."
She closed her hand around the ring tightly as Willow began to silently
cry.
