Just a little spell - or two.
11 a.m. I didn't get any Valentine cards. None. Not even one one of those friendly, silly - I'm glad Aunt Leah isn't here. She'd have gone on and on about it. I don't have a date for the dance. I won't get a date for the dance. not if nobody liked me enough to send a card.
I know I shouldn't get upset. I do know that I shouldn't. I'd remember what happened after Oz left even if they hadn't kept on about it. Buffy and Spike nearly got married and Giles had to fence with a snake. He could have died of that snake-bite. All I'd said was that I hoped he'd have to test the anti-venom himself - but I'd cast the spell that my will be done, first. I won't do that again.
I was really powerful even then, and I know more now. I've got more control. I've got the blood_pressure pills, too. It isn't dangerous. I'll feel better if I do a little magic. I won't feel so tense. I didn't mean to hurt Giles, when I did that. I still feel guilty sometimes. I should do something nice for him, not just a trick like the montage, something real .
Giles was really upset about Buddy coming back with fleas. I'll bet I could get rid of those for him. He hates having fleas in his apartment and if I get rid of them, and the ones in the shop, I'll have done something nice for him and Anya too - and Buddy, I guess. It ought to be easy. I'll just cast the warding circle and cleanse.
I've got the candles, and a map; I'll have to draw circles around the places I want to clean - I guess it's because getting all the stuff is boring, and so are the cleansing spells, really, but I keep thinking about the way Cordelia used to talk about me. I don't want to go to a Valentine Dance without a date. They'll all talk about me and laugh. Maybe I'll feel better when I've cast the spell. I'll be more relaxed.
*Firewalled* 1p.m. I did it, I used pepper for the fleas and when I said the last line of the spell all the pepper grains jumped out of the circles on the map, away from Giles. Only, I had to have somewhere to send them and I kept thinking about the cool kids so I just sent the fleas to the Bronze. I had this sudden impulse. If they want something to talk about they've got it now - lets see them laugh at that!
