Callie cried, sobbing uncontrollably in fear as Richard shoved her over to the others, and they took her away, having a look around to make sure no one saw, pulling his hood over his head, following them back to the house.

Day Two

Morning - Sunnydale High School - Hallway


Cordelia was demonstrating her fake laugh to another girl. "See? Dr. Debi says when a man is speaking, you make serious eye contact, and you really, really listen, and you laugh at everything he says."

Cordelia laughed again.



Elsewhere


The girls walked down the stairs into the hall.

Willow looked at Carmen. "You dreamed about Angel again?"

"Third night in a row," Carmen answered.

"What did he do in the dream?" Buffy asked.

Carmen played coy. "Stuff."

Brooke nodded sarcastically. "Oh. Stuff."

They smiled.

"Was it one of those vivid dreams where you could feel his lips and smell his hair?" Willow asked.

Carmen nodded. "It had surround sound."

"You're thinking about him so much lately," Alice remarked.

"You two are so right for each other," Willow told her.

"Well, yeah, Will," Buffy told her.

"They're kinda soulmates," Brooke agreed.

"Everything is kinda perfect," Willow told them.

"Except for the, uh..." Alice trailed off.

"Vampire thing," Brooke finished.

"That doesn't make him a bad person," Willow told them. "Necessarily."

"Yeah, but what kind of relationship can you have with him?" Buffy asked.

Carmen groaned, worried and conflicted.

"You might not be able to do anything together during the day, but you could ask him for coffee some night," Alice suggested.

Brooke nodded. "It's the non-relationship drink of choice."

"It's not a date," Willow agreed. "It's a caffeinated beverage."

"Yeah, but it's hot and bitter like a relationship that way," Buffy told them.

"Buffy, try to help a little less," Zoey told her.

Brady, Eric and Xander caught up to them.

"What's like a relationship?" Eric asked.

"Help a little less with what?" Brady asked.

"Let me guess," Eric told them. "Angel talk."

The girls nodded. Xander stopped by Cordelia. The others continued on.

Cordelia was talking to the girl. "There's really no comparison between college men and high school boys." She looked at Xander. "I mean, look at that."
