You know, it’s not everyday a girl finds a random journal shoved in her stuff. I’m not entirely sure why I’m even using it, and not throwing it out, other than hey. Free book! I mean, I’m not exactly journal-girl here, but I don’t see how this little thing can do any harm either

Welcome to New York! I'm Conner, what's your name?

Where's Sunnydale?

[heartslain]

Thanks... Is it a good thing or a bad thing when your journal welcomes you to the city? Because- I'm thinking it's a sign of crazy.

It's in California, right off the coast. Some of the best beaches without the crowds you get anywhere else.

[ihavettk]

I'm not your journal. I'm a guy. I told you, my name's Conner. I live in New York too.

Oh, wow, that sounds awesome. I've always wanted to go there. Well, Hawaii more than California, but it'd still be great there. I bet you can go surfing, right?

[heartslain]

Not so much with the surfing. I'm more the type to go sun tan. Maybe swim a little, but- I'm no good on a board.

Okay. I'll bite. You're Conner, writing in my magic journal. What, do they hand out these things coming into New York?

[ihavettk]

It's not like everyone gets them. And I'd already been in New York a while when I got mine. No one knows why any of it happens, or how.

That sounds like fun too. I love being in the sun, you know? Makes me feel all strong.

What's your name?

[heartslain]

So only the special kids get them. Got it. I guess I'll just- accept it? Be glad? After all, it's kind of lonely, moving to a new town by yourself.

Buffy Summers, at your service. The sun was nice there, but- not so much of a nice place. A few good people, but I wouldn't recommend walking down the street alone after dark.

[ihavettk]

I wouldn't be scared. I'm really tough.

Hey, if you want someone to show you around or something, I'd do it. I don't work on Sunday, so unless you're going to church or something, I could do it.

[heartslain]

I bet you say that to all the new girls. Big manly exterior, tough, you'll protect them! It's- nice.

Nope. No plans on going to church here. Not really a church girl. So I'm totally free.

[ihavettk]

Only the ones with cute handwriting.

Great, me too. Wanna meet somewhere or something?

[heartslain]

Oooh, I'll give you points for managing to flirt even through a book. Enough points to say yes.

Know anywhere nice for cheap?

[ihavettk]

There's a place called Angel's Diner that's pretty good. We could go there.

[heartslain]

Angel's Diner?

Sure.

[ihavettk]

Great, how's now for you?

[heartslain]

Sounds like a deal! Then we can see how the man measures up to the writing.

[ihavettk]

Oh, I measure up.

I'll be wearing a jacket with an S on the back. Looks kind of like this:

[heartslain]

I'll be looking for you. Just keep an eye out for short, blonde, and cute.
