With the new morning came the brave new promise of yet another mind numbing school day. Xander, Cordelia, and Willow stood in a busy school hallway discussing the condition of their recently kidnapped friend.
"She's fine," assured Cordelia with an irritated tone of voice.
"How do we know that?" questioned Xander quite pathetically.
"Giles said she was fine," answered Willow.
"Yeah, well, Giles' definition of fine and the non-whip-cracking-Watcher definition of fine don't always match," said Xander.
Cordelia let out an annoyed sigh.
"What level of 'fine' are we talking about anyway?" asked Xander.
"I mean there is 'just fine' and then there's just 'fine' and then there's 'just' fine," rambled Xander.
"She could be in serious shock right, she could be injured, she could be-," Xander's added babblings were cut short.
"Right there," interrupted Willow.
One very much alive and well Buffy Summers strolled through the entrance to Sunnydale high and began to close with her friends. Xander closed the gap first with an extra amount of zealotry.
"Buffy! Are you all right?" he inquired enthusiastically.
"I'm fine," Buffy replied. Willow and Cordelia gave Xander "I told you so" looks in unison.
"What happened?" asked Willow.
"Abel just took me back to his place for the standard bad guy rhetoric," answered Buffy.
"Abel?" questioned Cordelia.
"The current 'Evil of the Day'," explained Buffy.
Buffy went through her pockets and removed a key.
"Giles is out collecting some gear to deal with the necromancers and I'm supposed to open the library. I'll catch you later," Buffy said as she smiled politely and walked off.
"I'll help," offered Xander as he rushed off after her.
"God! He's still fawning all over her. He's like some kind of really sick and twisted puppy dog," commented Cordelia.
