The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Friday, May 3

[burnhername]

Buffy and Darla fight. Darla hits the wall and falls to the floor, winded.
BUFFY: You know, I just wanted to start over. Be like everybody else. Have some friends, y'know, maybe a dog... But, no, you had to come here, you couldn't go suck on some other town.
DARLA: Who are you?
BUFFY: Don't you know?

~~Welcome to the Hellmouth~~
