(they all wake up. cut to later)

WILLOW: The First Slayer. Wow.

XANDER: Not big with the socialization.

WILLOW: Or the floss.

GILES: Somehow our joining with ... Buffy and ... invoking the essence of the, the Slayer's power was an affront to the source of that power.

BUFFY: You know, you could have brought that up to us *before* we did it.

GILES: I did. I said there could be dire consequences.

BUFFY: Yes, but you say that about chewing too fast.

(Joyce enters, wearing a bathrobe.)

JOYCE: I'm, uh, guessing I missed some fun?

WILLOW: The spirit of the first Slayer tried to kill us in our dreams.

JOYCE: Oh, you want some hot chocolate?

(Everyone says yeah or yes please.)

JOYCE: Xander?

XANDER: Yes, what, Joyce? (Nervously) Uh ... Buffy's mom.

JOYCE: Be my kitchen buddy again, help me carry?

XANDER: Yes. Sure. (Nervously) Buffy's mom.

GILES: (to Buffy) You all right?

BUFFY: Yeah. I think I might jump in the shower.

GILES: You seem a bit, uh...

BUFFY: A little. (Pensive) The First Slayer. I never really thought about it. (Sighs) It was intense. I-I guess you guys got a taste of that, huh.

XANDER: Yeah, from now on, you keep your Slayer friends out of my dreams. Is that clear?

WILLOW: It's not good for the sleepin'.

BUFFY: Ah... Well, at least you all didn't dream about that guy with the cheese.

(The others look up in surprise.)

BUFFY: I don't know *where* the hell that came from.

(The other three look at each other. Buffy goes upstairs, pausing to look at her bed and remember the conversation with Tara in her dream)

TARA: You think you know ... what's to come ... what you are. You haven't even begun.

(Long shot of the darkened bedroom, with Buffy framed in the doorway. She slowly backs away, turns and walks out of sight.)
