Things were really bad. When Vi and I arrived at the house, after walking for what seemed like forever, we were the only ones in the apartment. Chloe wasn't even there. Both of us were hurt so bad, and didn't know what to do, so I did what I was dreading. I called the number on our counter, the Wolfram and Hart emergency number. Someone answered after a couple rings.
"Hello?" they answered.
"Hello," I said, looking over to Vi. "This is Amanda of the potentials training with Buffy. Two of us have just been hurt, we need someone to take us the hospital." We were both in so much pain, I just needed him here now.
"Ohh..." he seemed confused.
"Look," I said, "please come and pick us up in the potential apartment down the street from Wolfram and Hart. We'll explain it when you come."
After what seemed like forever, the man arrived in a costume. Some TV show character. I didn't understand, but I quickly rattled off our story, as he was helping us downstairs and into his car. He drove us the hospital where the doctor suggested we stay for longer, but the man from Wolfram and Hart would have none of it. He took the doctor out of the room, and when they returned, the doctor told us that he didn't need anything more.
I didn't really know what the man told the doctor, but I was happy enough to be out of there.
The man brought us to Wolfram and Hart. I don't know why, but he was obviously frazzled with having us on his hands. We were both stunned to see the main floor turned into a dance floor, and everyone celebrating and having fun in costumes. It was a costume party. I looked over to Vi, and gave her a small smile, but we were both scared to death of Buffy or Faith or Giles was going to do or say when they saw us.
((open to some potential, or someone who wants to yell at them))
