"Buffy, you're late, I was saving you a seat," whispered Willow as Buffy arrived during the latter portion of a mid morning class. Just as Buffy sheepishly took the seat her friend had kindly reserved for her the class was dismissed and got up to leave. The two exchanged looks as they made their way out with the crowd. Their destination was implied and understood.
"Buffy, you look. . . you've looked better. Did you get any sleep last night?" asked Willow as the conversation resumed in the halls.
"Nope, had some late night slayage to accomplish," said a tired Buffy Summers.
"Did you? Accomplish it that is," Willow inquired.
"One vampire down, one hellfire wielding necromancer to go," answered Buffy.
A jovial Xander Harris spotted his friends and hurried to catch up.
"Hey, Willow. Hey, Buf-," he cut his greeting off as he came within eyesight of them.
"Someone looks like they got three hours of sleep," observed Xander.
"That's not bad considering I only got two," said Buffy. Her tired attempt at a joke fell somewhat short on the laugh meter.
"Buffy fought with the necromancer last night," Willow brought Xander up to date.
"Not to mention a pretty tough vampire," supplemented Buffy.
"The wierd part was when I staked him he didn't turn to ashes right away," contemplatively said Buffy.
"Necromancers must be up to something," guessed Willow.
"Sounds like a question for Giles," Xander diagnosed just as the three turned and entered the library.
"I knew you three would be stopping by," called out Principal Snyder who lingered inside.
"Where's Giles?" asked Willow.
"That's what I'm going to ask you," said Snyder.
"Well if you look at our dumbfounded faces you could tell we don't know either," Xander said sarcastically.
Snyder stared him down with a disgruntled look. Xander exaggerated his expression.
"See, dumbfounded," he added.
"I don't know what's wrong with that guy other than hanging around you people a lot. I told them I don't like hiring foriegners, but he's been flakey even for an Englishman. It's a wonder he still has a job," declared Snyder.
"I'm sure he has a good reason for not being here," protested Willow.
