Like a damn high school reunion.

I stepped out of the airport and looked around the streets of Sunnydale. Never thought I'd ever end up back here. But then, I thought that once before, back when I turned myself in to the cops. And check how that turned out

I had taken the moment to lay down. I wasn't feeling well, and I suspected I was getting a little...oh gods, one doesn't want to say "old", but that had to be it, to keep crossing the world like this.

Xander had left to find me food, I think he was feeling responsible. Or maybe, he was tired of the crochity old man. Either way...

"It's open. Xander, did you forget your key?" I said, without looking up.

"It's open. Xander, did you forget your key?"

He was staying with Xander? Well that's one person that I know for sure is here. I walked into the room and saw Giles laying on the bed. Damn he was looking old. But then, it had been twenty years since I'd seen him, so I guess that was to be expected.

I leaned on the corner of the wall. "It's not Xander," I said with a smile. "But maybe if you saw me from really far away, and you were really old and lost your glasses.. then I just might look a bit like him."

I laughed and walked a little closer.

"How you doing Giles?"

[oh_dear]

I had to laugh.

"Faith, I don't think anyone could ever confuse you for Xander. I just didn't know you were here, yet." I sat up, with only a small amount of effort.

"I'm doing ok for an old man. How are you?"

I smirked. "Five by five."

So it wasn't the truth. Was it ever? Was I ever actually okay when I said that? I had a lot on my mind with Bender and Angel and whatever, but no one needed my woe-is-me tales.

"So who's all here?"
