DAWN: (screaming) Help! Amanda, help me!

AMANDA: I can't!

DAWN: Amanda!

(Just then, Bringers burst in through the classroom's exterior windows, go for Amanda)

DAWN: No! You don't want her! You want me...

(commercial)

DAWN: Amanda!

(they escape down the hall)

AMANDA: What were those?

DAWN: Amanda, listen to me. Remember when you said I was special? Well, I'm not. But the thing is, you are. This is your battle, Amanda.

AMANDA: No, I can't.

DAWN: You can! You've got to. Look, I've got your back, but this is something you have to do. It's something you were born to do. (Dawn hands Amanda the flagpole) Here, this belongs to you.

XANDER: (arriving) Buffy, up here.

(Amanda fights off some Bringers and dusts the vamp. Buffy & Spike take care of the rest)

AMANDA: OK. One minute I'm in Swing Choir, and the next? What the hell's going on? You tell me to come to you with problems. Turns out, a vampire attacked me. Problem. So I go to your house, and when I get there, this orange cloud hits me.

DAWN: (to Xander) She was at the doorway.

AMANDA: And I don't know if you're into the drugs, but that's not my deal, all right. That cloud hit me, and I got a little dizzy and discombobulated.

DAWN: It was Willow's spell. She's the potential slayer.
