Red Willow,
Oh, good start! I like to hear that Buffy interior monologue, with
Willow filling every corner of her mind. Particularly after watching
the disconnect and apparent non-concern this year. (Die, Joss!)
> <Go to her> I hear that familiar voice tell me. > <She wants you to>
it taunts. <NO>
Cute, Buffy's even arguing with herself. The id and the superego
debating the merits of Willow-smooching.
> <Look what you've done to me. I can't stop thinking about you. Do
you know how hard it is
wanting to jump your best friend for two years? No. Of course you
don't Will.>
No, Willow doesn't have thoughts like that, she's too innocent. Poor,
sad, slayer!
>Yeah, I buried those feelings, but they keep crawling out of the grave,
because they never die... <they never will>.
Cute Season 6 shout-out. (That may be the last time I use the phrases
"cute" and "Season 6" in the same sentence...grumble)
>The truth is I'm scared. I'm weak ok. I've been struggling here for
two years. And the
truth is, I don't know how much longer I can keep it up. She's in so
much pain. I want to reach out to her, to connect with her heart, and
wrap my slayer arms around her and hold her until all the pain and anger
goes away.
A perfect excuse for anyone who thought Buffy was too stand-offish
post-Oz.
Really enjoyed this, and I look forward to part 2. Thanks.
Dan
