(Buffy and Willow have breakfast. Buffy is in a very cheerful mood.)

BUFFY: I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. (looks at Willow's plate) Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

WILLOW: (laughing) You should always have a new boyfriend. You're so much fun right now.

BUFFY: Hey. I didn't hear you come in last night. Where were you?

WILLOW: (quickly) The chem lab, by myself. (a beat) I-I was trying this new spell; floating a rose, when all of a sudden (motions with fork) zing, zing, zing! Like all over the room. It was like a rose-based missile.

BUFFY: Yikes.

WILLOW: I know. I think there's something out there. I-I felt this presence.. This dark majiks energy blocking the spell. It's new.
