(Buffy's house, morning. Willow wakes up and realizes she's been on the couch all night. She picks up the phone and dials.)

WILLOW Hello. I'm calling for Giles, uh, Mr. Giles. (pause) Right. Council meeting all day. (pause) No, no, I know, he can't be reached there. Thanks. Bye.

(Willow walks down the street towards the MagicBox. She spots Anya)

WILLOW: Anya!

(Anya sees Willow and steps back defensively.)

WILLOW: Anya! Anya, don't! Don't run away.

ANYA: What are you doing here? I thought you were with Giles studying how to not kill people.

WILLOW: I just got back.

ANYA: Just got back, as in you're all better, or just got back to bring about a fiery apocalypse of death?

WILLOW: Neither, but I-I have been studying, working real hard, and I-I'm gonna be fine.

ANYA: Oh. Good. 'Cause I remember the last time you said that. I've spent a lot of time since them cleaning the debris out of my ex-livelihood. Stuff like that.

WILLOW: Well, yeah, I wanna help any way I can with that. I-I feel really responsible.

ANYA: You feel really responsible? You are really responsible!

WILLOW: I-I know I hurt you and?and everyone. I'm sorry.

ANYA: Here's something you should know about vengeance demons: We don't grove with the "sorry." We prefer "Oh, God, please stop hitting me with my own rib bones."

WILLOW: Go on. Say whatever you want. Rib bones and so forth. I-I deserve it.

ANYA: Then you won't mind? Well, then, that's no fun.

WILLOW: Sorry. So, um, where is everyone these days?

ANYA: Well, I'm back in my own apartment. And, of course, vengeance takes me all over the world. I was in Brazil yesterday. They love their soccer.

WILLOW: And the others? Dawn, and, uh, Xander, Buffy?

ANYA: You haven't seen them?

WILLOW: Not so much.

ANYA: Huh. I guess they're still mad at you. They've been a little temperamental lately, just between you and me. We had this little mix-up a few days ago, and ?

WILLOW: That sounds great. So, um, where do you think they'd be?

ANYA: Oh, at the new high school, probably. Everyone's all about the high school. Buffy's got some kind of job there helping junior deviants, Spike's insane in the basement, Xander's there doing construction on the new gym?

WILLOW: Wait, Spike's what in the whatment?

ANYA: Insane. Base. Xander does construction. He likes to start early, so he's probably there by now.
