The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Sunday, February 2nd - Monday, February 3rd

[thenewbuzwuzz]

FAITH: I just want to sleep, yo, for like a week.
DAWN: I guess we all could, if we wanted to.
WILLOW: Yeah. (smiles) The First is scrunched, so... what do you think we should do, Buffy?
FAITH: Yeah, you're not the one and only chosen anymore. Just gotta live like a person. How's that feel?
DAWN: Yeah, Buffy. What are we gonna do now?
As the others chatter around her, Buffy just stares straight ahead at the hole formerly known as Sunnydale. As she contemplates what's next, she smiles.
