Out on the town....

Well, Willow was pretty tired, and was being worse than Oz used to be as far as the talking. When ones asked him a question, at least he'd answer back in more than 2 words. Other than that, yeah he beat her out being monosyllabic. I don't know, I guess it was just weird being her best friend, and her not talking to me. She always talked to me. Even when I was too busy to be listening.

So I didn't really understand her reaction to our few exchanged sentences and a lot of non verbals. I knew I should be paying more attention in Psychology. Maybe she was screaming at me, and I didn't even realize. That would be typical of me anyway. Sometimes I could be so blind.

So I dropped her off at the house because it was being a really REALLY slow night. I figured I'd be seeing some commandos, and actually get some answers, or at least more than one vampire. It was like halloween or something. Completely quiet. And to be honest, that's gotta be the scariest part of it all. Because normally when there isn't any action, that means that the action is someplace else, that being where I wasn't. and that's just totally not cool. Especially when we're susceptible for an apocalypse any minute. Come to think about it, we'd only had one or two threats this year. Maybe that was it. We were going to be facing an apocalypse, because there's nothing for me to slay. Go ahead and tell me that that's not supposed to make me look completely insane.

Hey, it doesn't hurt to be careful. Or to think about something other than the fact that my best friend doesn't feel the need to tell me things. Or that something is really bothering her. Or, oh god. Maybe she thinks we've grown apart?

See, exactly why I'd rather be thinking about an apocalypse. Something that I can control. Something that can't destroy me half as much, because losing Willow is like a stab through the other half of my heart that wasn't taken when Angel left. Same thing goes with Xander and Giles. I don't think I'd be able to handle it if I lost either of them. Sucks to even think about.

So off I went anyway, into the darkness, where I'd be looking for any signs of vampire or commando, or both. I was becoming impatient. I needed something to control. I needed something to think about other than the pain in my arm, or losing my best friends, or god even the past. Must. Think. Future.

Future, like the reading that Riley said I better do because Walsh is going to drill me.

Okay, so maybe future wasn't the best to be thinking about.

Exactly why I was hoping to have an anything try to kill me.

Try.
