Buffy looked up at the blue sky. There were big fluffy clouds up there, catching red and gold light. "It's going to be a pretty day."
Ben nodded and closed his eyes. "I think so. A gorgeous day."
The air suddenly tingled and swirled. Buffy scrambled to her feet. "That'll be Giles and Dawn coming back." She bounced just a little as the portal popped into the air and began spinning. She heard Ben slowing getting to his feet behind her. "Maybe now that she missed her deadline we can find some way to keep her from coming back."
She turned to grin hopefully at Ben--right into the two-fisted hammer blow that flung her through the air and hard enough into the chapel wall to crack the adobe facing.
"And maybe you won't," Glory growled, watching the portal. "So this is my Key coming back. I need a pick-me-up." The portal blossomed open.
Glory was breathing hard. "I just wanted to go home. But you and your rotten band of evolutionary mistakes got in my way."

I debated for five minutes before putting in the obligatory Scooby Doo ending.
It had to happen.
Should I give the "Homicide" squad band candy? Part of me wants to, part of me says that way lies madness.
connie, I love it. That's about all I can say, really. I love it.
erika, I know not of the Homocide squad but on general principles giving fictional characters band candy is to be encouraged. Madness isn't all bad, either...
Twist my arm...(Ok, went to a Frandina place for a minute.)
I foresee some Xanderness.
Kay & Joyce bonding
lots of questions about slang of the '70s.
I knew *you* would say that. It's like asking Hec if your hair's too short. Duh.
Maybe it's too much...we don't know much about them as teens, do we?
