Spike looked over to where Buffy lay on the floor and said, "Well, she took it better than I thought she would".

"What do ya mean?" Doyle asked.

"She didn't stake me before she passed out" Spike replied.

"Cheer up, maybe she'll do it when she wakes up" Cordy replied.

Buffy started to come around and stared at the people she hadn't seen in over 17 years. "Long time, no see" she mumbled, unable to meet anyone's eyes. She got up invited them in and showed them into the living room.

They all sat around staring at each other, until Xander said "So Buff, how does it feel to be dead?"

"I don't know Xander, what does it feel like to be a loser?" Buffy replied sarcastically.

As Buffy and Xander continued to bicker, Willow looked at the woman who had once been her best friend, Buffy hadn't changed much in the looks department, infact she didn't even look as though she was 37 years old. Willow was shaken out of her thoughts by Xander proclaiming, "At least I never bonked the undead".

"No, just an eleven hundred year old ex-vengeance demon" Buffy yelled right back.

"Xander" Giles said, trying to calm him.

"Buffy" Angel said from the shadows, trying to reach out for her.

Buffy dodged his touch and said, "Don't touch me you bastard".

"Buffy lose the 'tude" Cordy said, coming to Angel's defence.

"Leave 'er alone, Queen Cow" Spike said, actually defending Buffy.

Willow had finally had it. "Shut up" she yelled. Everyone was shocked into silence. "That's better. Now everyone is going to talk nice and calmly".

"But..." Xander began.

Willow put up her hand to silence him and said, "Nuh-uh, see my resolved face". When she was satisfied everyone was obeying her,she continued. "Now we'll take it in turns talking about our lives, since Buffy went away".

"Ok" most mumbled.

"Alright, I'll go first" Willow said. "Let's see, after you left I dated Tara..."

"Wait a second...Tara, your friend the witch?" Buffy asked, shocked.

"Yep. They gave the definition of friendship a whole new meaning" Xander commented, sarcastically.

Willow ignored him. "Anyway, after graduation Oz return and we started to date again and then we got married. And we still are".

"Spike said then, "Me next". Before anyone could say anything he said, "I became a bloody white hat poof like Peaches. The end".

"Very not interesting" Xander complained.

"Buffy, how about you go next?" Willow said.

"Sure" Buffy mumbled. She was about to tell them about her life, when the front door suddenly opened.

In came Hope dragging her boyfriend behind her. She said "Mom, you'll never guess who's back in town?"
