One of my nicest friends found his way home.  Venus put on her best dress and dipped closer to sing with Mars, but Mars hasn't got a voice today.

We'll go 'round and 'round, coming and going and always missing the ones we want to see.

I ask every night for someone nice.  Bits of the world fall in, but not the right bits.  I don't like them--

Threaten me all you would like, Drusilla. But not Buffy and certainly not Willow. I don't want to have to ask politely many more times.

[nocakestoday]

You're no fun to threaten.

[everheardoftact]

Yes, well, I should hope at least some of you had learned that lesson, after what Angel had done to me. You should know I'm not afraid of you at this juncture, vampire.

[nocakestoday]

Won't you be even a little frightened?

[everheardoftact]

I will be as terrified of you as you want me to be, Drusilla, if you leave Buffy and Willow and all of the others alone. I don't know that we can stop you permanently here, and so I don't know how to deal with you.

But I will deal with you somehow.

We'll chase each other in and out of the ground until the worlds end. There's no time for dealing.
