Stop being all logical and stuff!
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, that's originally why I put it as "Hey she's died twice" - but I still think the "I've" is better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why does that need to be for the third thread, again? I thought it was being selected on the virtue of us having died twice, and it referring to the number two to boot.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Because Buffy herself is now Buffy Mark Three. But I can see it being the source of confusion.

Yeah. I think that's more confusion than it's worth, using it for #3. It's not like we've been terribly meaningful with all the numbers (Angel 8 His Father, Mother, Sister, and Entire Village, anyone?).

Eight = "Ate"! It's a very dumb joke, but it's meaningful.

I mean the number eight was in no way meaningful in the sentence. Much like twice is there to trigger two, but not to actually refer to the twiceness of Buffy's death, thereby implying three Buffys which is a whole lot of meaning right there.

Huh, my e-mail program decided that my "WELCOME to somervillains@buffistas.org" e-mail message was possible spam. Heads up to anyone else who signs up to the list.

Which e-mail program is that?

Pocomail 2.6. Not a mainstream program by any means, but most everything else that gets put into the spam box is spam.
