Have you ever experienced something you couldn't explain? Write down your brushes with the mysterious.

All the time. That would be the short answer. I mean, come on, I lived in Sunnydale. Vampires, demons, and werewolves at every turn. I definately think I got my quota in. And then there was the dying and coming back from Hell thing. And the falling in love with a vampire thing. Maybe that's what's the most mysterious to me. Falling in love. And it definately is falling. I mean, if a girl could choose her lover, she would not pick a vampire. Well, okay, maybe Buffy might, but not me. I was always the cautious one. The careful one. The look before you leap and refuse to jump unless you're absolutely certain someone is there to catch you one type. But I did jump. That's the part I don't understand. I did jump, and there wasn't anyone there to catch me, and I fell and got hurt. Badly hurt. But when I got to the bottom, she was there. And she made the hurt go away. It did come back, and I hurt her, and she's hurt me, but somehow we keep getting closer because of it.

So for those of you who were hoping for an epic adventure about the exploits of Scoobies in Sunnydale, I hate to disappoint you. Because I can understand all of that. It's not that hard if you're a witch and a scooby and a girl. The most mysterious thing in the world is love, really. And the fact that it exists, and that no matter how hard you try to deny it or escape it, it still just... Is.
