XANDER: This isn't real.

BUFFY: I can't feel anything. Arms, legs, anything.

GILES: She was truly the finest of all of us.

XANDER: Way better than me.

GILES: Much, much better.

XANDER: It's all my fault.

BUFFY: No, it's me. I-it's me. I'm the one that called her reliable. She must have gone out and gotten attacked, which she never would have done if I hadn't have called her reliable. And now my best friend is...

WILLOW: What's going on? Jeez, who died? (almost panicked) Oh, God! Who died?

XANDER: (with cross) Back! Get back, demon!

BUFFY: Willow, you're alive?

WILLOW: Aren't I usually?

Buffy runs & gives her a great big hug. Xander joins.

WILLOW: I love you guys, too... Okay. Oxygen becoming an issue.

They both let go, smiling at her with tears in their eyes.

WILLOW: Giles, what's going on with these...

Giles tackles her in a hug as well. WILLOW: Oh!

GILES: Oh. Sorry. (backs away)

WILLOW: It's really nice that you guys missed me. Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

XANDER: Will, we saw you at the Bronze. A vampire.

WILLOW: I'm not a *vampire*.

BUFFY: You are. I-I mean, you, you were. Giles, planning on jumping in with an explanation any time soon?

GILES: Well, uh... something... something, um, very strange is happening.

XANDER: Can you believe the Watcher's Council let this guy go?
