(April and Buffy sit on the swings, April leaning on one chain and no longer able to mover)

BUFFY: Can you cry? Sometimes I feel better when I cry. But ... there might be rust issues.

APRIL: Crying is blackmail. Good girlfriends don't cry.

BUFFY: Oh.

APRIL: I rechecked everything. I did everything I was supposed to do. I was a good girlfriend.

BUFFY: I'm sure you were.

APRIL: I'm only supposed to love him. If I can't do that, what am I for? What do I exist for?

BUFFY: I don't know. It isn't fair. He wasn't fair to you.

APRIL: It's getting dark. It's so early to be dark.

BUFFY: (softly) Yeah.

APRIL: What if he comes back and he can't find me in the dark?

BUFFY: I'm here. I'll make sure that he finds you.

APRIL: (smiles) Maybe this is a girlfriend test. If I wait here patiently this time, he'll come back.

BUFFY: I'm sure he will. And he'll ... he'll tell you how sorry he is. (pauses) You know, he told me ... how proud he was of you and ... how impressed he was with how much you loved him and how you tried to help him. (April smiles happily) He didn't mean to hurt you.

APRIL: He's going to take me home, and things will be right again.

BUFFY: (nods) It'll be fine.

APRIL: (still smiling) When things are sad ... you just have to be patient. Because ... because every ... cloud has a silver lining. And ... when life ... gives you lemons ... make ... lemonade.

BUFFY: Clouds and lemonade, huh?

APRIL: Yes. And ... and ... things are ... always ... darkest ... before....
