”Buffy, Giles and Xander had been gone almost six hours. Giles called about an hour after they left to say that Kennedy had been taken into surgery and that they could be there a while. Buffy wanted me to keep an eye on Spike, something about his chip being funny and not working occasionally. Apparently The First had been pulling his strings and making him attack people. That must’ve been fun for them. Anya got sick of waiting around and went to the hospital, she was going on about orgasms and getting Xander so that they could go home and have lots and lots, I stopped listening but in a funny sort of way it was comforting to know that some things really hadn’t changed at all!

Willow didn’t want to speak to me, I could hear her in the background trying to convince the doctors to give her some information on Kennedy’s condition, I could tell just by the doctor’s tone that he was getting pretty pissed at her.

Giles had called just to find out exactly what had happened and to make sure that I was ok. He’s still as sweet as ever, he has a much colder, steelier streak than when I left but he’s still Giles!!

So, maybe I should tell you what happened since I already told Giles and then Anya and the potentials.

I went out not long after the others had left to search for Kennedy. I don’t know if Buffy told you, or you heard but when I was dead, it was really tough, everything wanted to kill me, it was kinda like living in Sunnydale but without that peaceful section in the day time. Anyway, you learn how to smell out danger and after what Buffy had told me about the First and the Bringers and all that, I figured that I might be able to be of some use.

Now, I should point out that I didn’t want Kennedy back at all. You might be surprised by that but I’m not who I used to be. I secretly hoped that me and Willow had a chance now that I was back, but as soon as I realised she had moved on and was seeing Kennedy, I knew that no matter how she felt about me, that she would be true to her and after today, well, it was clear that she has strong feelings for her, it might not be love, but she’s over me, or at least well on her way.
