The Calm before the Storm
Night began to set in as Willow Rosenburg sat in the Bronze; it had only opened an hour ago. She was there watching her boyfriend Oz, get ready for a performance. Willow had to admit she loved to watch Oz and the Dingoes Ate My Baby perform.
As she sat there she was joined by Buffy, "Buffy, hey. How you been?" Willow asked concern in her eyes after all her friend had been through. Buffy looked like someone had ripped her heart out and threw it on the ground. "How's your mom?" Willow added.
Buffy tried to smile. "She doing ok." Buffy answered about her mom but avoided answering about herself, she looked around a moment, "So Oz, is playing tonight huh?" she asked noticing the band. She also noticed a lot of what was left of the senior class there. They had all been copping and some had chosen to block it all out. While others were in a state of shock that they wouldn't soon forget. And there were a few there who seemed to not only be celebrating their graduation but also their survival.
Willow noticed Buffy looking around, "It's surreal. I had like a dozen people asking me what it was. Well, what the mayor was. People who I figured didn't even know my name. One person even asked me if we were really alive or if this was what death was like." Willow informed Buffy on the events since she had arrived at the Bronze, "I told him we survived." Willow added with a smile, then added, "unless this is what death is like.." she trailed off.
"We made it Will." Buffy assured her. Though in truth Buffy felt dead, or at least everything that made her who she was felt that way. "It's over. Now we get to move on to the next big evil." She added. As she took a sip of Willow's soda.
"Next?" Willow asked sounding both anxious and worried, she really didn't want to see any more evil. "Well at least it can't get much bigger." Willow added sounding almost sure of it. "After all it's hard to beat and 200 foot giant snake demon." She smiled as the band started to play and she saw Oz smile down to her.
