continued from here. I smiled at Willow and waited as she dispensed what sounded like a weeks worth of troubles into one concise paragraph. Made me realize I really did miss the whole gang, even the trouble.
"More like problems, first of all Amy brought home her new boyfriend the other night, and you will never guess who it was. Tucker. Demon raising, prom hating Tucker, and if possible I think he is even more 'off' than before. Not that I usually like to be sweeping-judgement girl or anything, but there it was. Or he was, with Amy. And I tried to warn her, after all she wasn't exactly around senior year. Tucker had obviously been messing with magic that he shouldn't, and he looked awful. Amy helped him though, and then off they went to do things I really don't want to think about. Right after that was when Buffy and Anya showed up. Turns out there is a succubus loose on campus, and I have a really good idea who to point a--all my fingers at. We researched everything for a while, and then called it a night."
Eyebrow raised as suddenly the whole events at The Bronze clicked into place. Everything was pretty well connected all things considered. Which begged the question, just what was going on at this school. I figured that the easiest way to start figuring it out, was to get the gang back together. After all we did better as a team. It was proven. Well sort of proven, either way it was something that we needed to have all three of us together to sort it out.
"See? That made perfect sense to me. Crazy right? But the other night... when I left you the message about Bronzin' we all were witness to quite a scene, Anya appearance included. I think we should head over to Buffy's and see if we can connect these dots and sort out just what is going on in this town."
I glanced around, and realized I pretty much was once again clueless as to where I was going. This place was like a maze I swear, and is it me or do all the buildings look alike?
"Okay, lead the way Wills, cause I am clueless here."
She laughed and hooking elbows we were off to meet up with Buffy. Of course there were already things going on here that needed her attention, but it seemed that there wasn't a slow period. There was Faith, and Anya, well okay not Anya, but Faith and a Succubus and Tucker and Amy with magic. It was a lot. Plus if I remember correctly, some army outfit as well. Yes this is starting to sound like Sunnydale alright.
We headed up the stairs toward Buffy's room and Willow started to slow up when she noticed the small gathering of authorities and what looked like a Paramedic of sorts. My mind raced as I thought the worst. Buffy. Willow and I cut through the crowd fearing that Buffy would be at the middle of it, instead it was a girl lying on the floor. Her face was... well sort of missing, but more on the demon level. The paramedic was zipping the body bag up as Willow and I exchanged a glance. The dorm room was a mess, and we were both relieved that it hadn't been Buffy.
The authorities pushed us back from the door and we stumbled out of the back of the crowd and heard Buffy calling out to us.
"Hey! Please tell me they found the girl that stole my cardigan?"
I dropped Willow's hand, that I hadn't been aware I had been holding and ran to Buffy pulling her into a big hug. Soon Willow was added to it, and I was positive that we were more relieved than she realized.
