(Prof Walsh's class. She is returning papers.)

WALSH: Ms. Summers... I want you to prepare to lead a discussion group next class. On the paper topic. That was smart work.

BUFFY: (Surprised) What do I have to do?

WALSH: If you have any questions, bring them up with one of the T.A.s.

WILLOW: Are you ok? How'd you do?

(Buffy smiles and holds up her paper. Willow is amazed.)

WILLOW: This is good. I mean, this is excellent. You did better than me. (She looks upset.) This is so unfair! You made me jealous of you academically. Buffy!

(She and Buffy hug.)

BUFFY: I know. Can you believe it?

WILLOW: Wow. I guess professor Walsh isn't so ogrey after all.

BUFFY: And she wants me to lead a discussion group next class. That means more work, right? Shouldn't she have a better reward system? You know, like a cookie or a toy surprise like at the dentist?

WILLOW: She wants you to lead a discussion group? Ok. Jealous again. Jealous, jealous-- ok. I'm back. Hey, I'm meeting Oz at the cafe. You wanna come? I'll buy you that celebratory cookie.

BUFFY: Great. I'm T.A.-bound right now, and then I will catch up with you guys.

WILLOW: Cool.
