The Masquerade Ball was different, this was a party for adults and Buffy had wanted it to be a little bit like the Ball in Labyrinth because seriously who didn’t think that David Bowie’s Jareth was the sexiest ever? So the
entry for the adult party was more glamorous (at least Buffy hoped) and the
interior continued that theme. There was an area for dancing with a live band and the area for sitting, enjoying the food and drinks.
She gave one last look, making sure everything was in place before going upstairs to change from duckling to swan and enjoy the party as much as everyone else. This time, Buffy was determined to be as much of a spectator as general for this gala.
