WILLOW: Pick!

BUFFY: (to Xander) Okay, (Willow holds up one minidress) do I wanna appear shy, coy and naive or (Willow holds up the other) unrestrained, insatiable and aggressive?

XANDER: Uh, y'know, Owen is a little home spun, he probably doesn't like that overly assertive look. Oh, hey, here's something. A nice comfy overcoat and a ski cap! The earflaps will bring out your eyes!

BUFFY: Maybe I should mix and match. Okay, guy's opinion. (grabs two lipsticks from her desk) Which one do you think Owen will like better? The red or the peach?

XANDER: Oh, you mean for kissing you and then telling all his friends how easy you are so the whole school loses respect for you and then talks behind your back? The red's fine.

BUFFY: Thanks. I'll go with the peach.

WILLOW: (hands Buffy a third minidress) Here, put this on.

(Buffy and Willow look at Xander.)

XANDER: You're not bothering me!

(Willow sighs, turns him around and pushes him away.)

WILLOW: (to Buffy) So, where's he taking you?

BUFFY: Oh, I don't know. Where do you suppose young kids go on dates these days?

(Xander goes over to her drawer chest and tries to angle the mirror inside a box so he can see.)

WILLOW: Well, I read somewhere once that sometimes they go to movies.

BUFFY: Movies! Interesting!

WILLOW: And I saw on TV once, a bunch of people our age went to a party.

BUFFY: Wow! I never knew being a teenager was so full of possibilities!
