(daylight. cafe.)

BUFFY: So then Professor Walsh said that I was just as amazing as Riley had said. And later, he told me that she couldn't stop talking about this move I made where I used one of the commandos as a shield to block a taser blast. It was like twelve-thousand volts. It took the guy almost two hours to recover.

WILLOW: (politely) Huh.

BUFFY: Hmm. How was your night?

WILLOW: Like a normal person's. Light on the action-pack. Hope tonight's not too much of a let-down for you. Excitementwise. (a pause) You do remember about tonight, right?

BUFFY: Bronze. The gang. Are you kidding? I wouldn't be anywhere else. I miss you guys. We haven't been able to spend that much time together lately.

WILLOW: You've been busy. Fighting armies and stuff. Not to mention other distractions from a romantic--

BUFFY: Riley just walked in.

WILLOW: Do ya want to let him know you're here?

BUFFY: No. Just enjoying a good stare. (eyes still on Riley) Tell me about your night.

WILLOW: Well, spent most of it at Xander's teaching Anya to play poker.

BUFFY: (still Riley-eyed) That sounds like fun.

WILLOW: Yeah. Except the Anya part and the poker part.

BUFFY: Will, I think you better get used to-- a Twinkie!? That's his lunch? Oh, he is *so* gonna be punished.

WILLOW: (pouty) Everyone's getting spanked but me.

BUFFY: What?

WILLOW: Uh, nothing.
