out on patrol with the rest of the Scooby gang

Xander, Willow, Anya, and of course the slayer, make their way through the graveyard, the usual routine they have carried out for the last 5 or 6 years.

"Say Buff, what are we doing out here on a Friday night, come on lets get down and boogey at the bronze" Xander says.

Buffy looks at Xander frustrated by his ignorance, "I just have this weird feeling in my stomach, that the trio is up to something tonight, god that Warren never gives up does he"

"That pig should be killed, i mean he did try to kill you Buffy, and not to mention he killed my one true love, Tara, I miss her... so...much" Willow starts to weep as Xander comforts her placing his arm around her shoulder.

"Xander, I thought we discussed, no more cuddling other girls, except me" Anya expressing her emotions in her normal way.

The gang make their way through the yard, walking passed Miss Calander's grave, and then through the woods, when they reach the other side, Xander insists of calling it a night, and making time to party.

As they make their way down the high street, passed the magic box, where Giles is looking after Dawn, they see the sky turning red.

"well, thats something you dont see every d..." Before Xander could even finish his sentence, the red air, shoot into everyone's eyes.
