(party is in full swing. Willow is enjoying the band. Buffy comes up to her.)

BUFFY: Hey!

WILLOW: Hey!

BUFFY: This is large!

WILLOW: You like?

BUFFY: Yeah. It's great. I-I was just sort of hoping it would be... us.

WILLOW: Sorry. What?

(she indicates that it's too loud to hear)

BUFFY: (louder) This is amazing, but I was sort of hoping we could just hang together, the gang.

(Willow indicates to the band and makes like she totally can't hear Buffy. She turns her attention back to Oz and smiles at him. Buffy leads her away to some place quieter, though she's reluctant to go.)

BUFFY: Is everything okay? You... You seem to be avoiding me, i-in the one-on-one sense.

WILLOW: What? This isn't avoiding. See? Here you are, here I am.

BUFFY: So we're cool?

WILLOW: Way! That's why, with the party, 'cause we're all glad you're back.

BUFFY: Okay.

WILLOW: Okay. Good.

(she goes back to paying attention to the band)
