Summary: Buffy needs an intervention.
"What is this?"
Buffy looked at the people gathered in her room. A sign hanging from the wall read, "INTERVENTION".
"This is an intervention, Buffy," answered Xander.
"Gee, I couldn't have figured that out from the sign," quipped Buffy sarcastically. "But the question is why?"
"Buffy, this has to stop," says Dawn. "It's getting out of control. I heard you do it several times last night and again this morning."
Buffy stares at her, dumbfounded. "What?" she manages to get out.
"Don't act like you don't know what we're talking about." Dawn gives Buffy a glare. "Willow can read minds you know. You know it's totally wrong and you still do it!"
Buffy's eyes widen slowly as comprehension dawns on her. "But, but...nooo," she whines. "Please don't make me, it makes me feel really cool and stuff. And I even came up with the idea all by myself! How often do I get to do that?"
"Buffy, you know we love you, but we can't keep enabling you." Willow frowns, then points to herself. "Look, Resolve Face!"
"Do I really have to?" Buffy makes the best puppy dog eyes she possibly can.
For a moment, Willow's Resolve Face wavers, but Xander cuts in. "Yes. Yes you do. It's not right for you to mangle the English language like that. One is a weapon, and the other are the villains from Star Wars!"
Buffy looks utterly dejected, but nods slowly.
"Fine. I'll stop calling it my 'sith'."
I'd rather laugh at the motion comics than be saddened by them. Feedback would be loved.
Enjoy.
