PARKER: Now we have time to make up for. Think I could get a dance with the prettiest girl at the party.

BUFFY: What am I supposed to do? Stand over here and watch?

(They dance, in a rather close intense way. )

PARKER: Well, I declared premed. But I hated it. So I switched to history.

BUFFY: History? Fascinating dates and compelling faces.

PARKER: But there something amazing about these huge events that when you dig down into them they're just about regular people trying to make choices. When you look back at it seems like people were swept up in events they couldn't control. But I don't believe that. I believe you have a choice in everything you do.

(They kiss. )

PARKER: Is this okay? Because I can stop if you wanna. It's your choice. What are you doing?

BUFFY: Making a choice.

(They kiss again. Cut to them kissing in Parker's room and shedding clothing. Cut to Giles looking through his books and calling someone. The phone rings and he gets Buffy and Willow's answering machine.)

Giles : Buffy are you there? Call me, I need to talk to you right away.
