Good points. I think it's interesting to see how it will play out if Kennedy, SIT, does become Willow's new love interest. Buffy has always been Willow's slayer. I'm not speaking in a romantic way but in general. Perhaps Buffy might show signs of jealousy since a 'new slayer' is becoming the focus in Will's life. I could picture Buffy trying to be 'big' about it but finally reaching the breaking point and telling Will that she's HER big gun and not Kennedy's.<LOL> I think it does have some great potiential as a triangle for shippers and friendshippers alike. And I do think that you spotted litterally what might lay ahead.
