WILLOW: Excuse me, when did they put a cemetery in across the street?

XANDER: And when did they make it night over there? Whose nightmare is this?

(Giles looks at a gravestone that reads: Buffy Summers 1981 - 1997.)

GILES: It's mine. I've failed... in my duty to protect you. I should have been more c... cautious. Taken more time to train you. But you were so gifted. And the evil was so great. I'm sorry...

(Buffy crawls out of the grave, a vampire)

GILES: Buffy?

BUFFY: I thought I was dead!

WILLOW: Buffy, your face!

BUFFY: Oh, God!

XANDER: Buffy...

BUFFY: (turns away) Don't look at me!

GILES: You never told me you dreamt of becoming a vampire.

BUFFY: This isn't a dream.

GILES: No. No, it's not. But there's a chance that we can make it go away. This all comes from Billy. Now, if, if we can only wake him up, I believe that the nightmares will stop and reality will shift back into place, but we must do it now! I need you to hold together long enough to help us. Can you do that?

BUFFY: (nods) Yeah. I think I can.

GILES: Thank you.

BUFFY: Well, we better hurry... 'cause I'm getting hungry.

XANDER: That is a... joke, right?

WILLOW: Are you sure everything will go back once he's awake?

GILES: Oh, uh, positive.

WILLOW: Well, how do we wake Billy up? What if we can't?

GILES: Willow, do shut up.
