BUFFY: Dawn! Xander's here.

DAWN: Just a minute.

BUFFY: You're going to be late.

DAWN: I'm comfortable with that.

XANDER: G'morning!

BUFFY:(to Dawn) Well, you gotta eat something. I made cereal.

DAWN: OK.

BUFFY:(to Xander) You're unconscionably spiffy.

XANDER: Client meeting. How exactly do you make cereal?

BUFFY: Ah, you put the box near the milk. I saw it on the food channel. Want something?

XANDER: I ate. I'm good. How are you?

BUFFY: My sister's about to go to the same high school that tried to kill me for three years. I can't change districts, I can't afford private school, and I can't begin to prepare for what could possibly come out of there. So, peachy with a side of keen, that would be me.

XANDER: Well here's a little something for what ails ya.

BUFFY: Mmm. You got the rest.

XANDER: Take a look.

DAWN: Hey. Check out double-O Xander.

BUFFY: Go. Talk with your mouth full.

XANDER: I've got two crews working on this diabolical yet lucrative new campus. One here finishing the Science building. And one here, reinforcing the Gym. There are no pentagrams, no secret passageways. Everything's up to code and safe as houses.

BUFFY: Nothing creepy? Strange? From beyond?

DAWN: Maybe you're just paranoid.

XANDER: Well, there is one interesting detail. I managed to scare up the plan from the old high school. You remember the very center of Sunnydale's own hell mouth?

BUFFY: Under the library.

XANDER: Right. So I lined up the plans, new and old. And right exactly where the library was, we now have...

BUFFY: Principal's office.

DAWN: So the principal's evil?

BUFFY: Or in a boatload of danger.

XANDER: Well the last two principals were eaten. Who would even apply for that job?

BUFFY: Guess we'll see. Ooh, we have to leave though. You have everything? Books, lunch, stakes?

DAWN: Checked thrice.

XANDER: Did you give her the...

BUFFY: No, I was saving it.

DAWN: What is it?

BUFFY: Back to school gift.

DAWN: (gleeful) It's a weapon, isn't it?

BUFFY: Yes, it is.
