Goodbyes

"As you know, the Romans were the first to unite the Slayers and form the Council. Up until then, girls had been born with the gift, they just never had any formal training." Ms. Calendar, Buffy and Willow's Slayer history teacher went on. "Also, you will remember that Slayers are pre-history. Girls being born with the gift pre-date even the earliest forms of writing. After the fall of the Roman Republic, the Council moved from city to city, region to region...." Ms. Calendar continued. Buffy was trying to listen, but she kept thinking about last nightll. ll. She couldn't wait until lunch so she could tell Willow and Faith all about it. She had gotten in late last night, they didn't get a chance to chat.

"The first Roman Council Slayers would have worn togas, they would have fought in them and they would have died in them, and they would have been buried in them. The tradition of burying slayers in togas continues today. When a Slayer dies, she is buried in a toga very similar to the ones wore by the first Council Slayers. It is the oldest standing Slayer tradition- beyond the fighting of evil, of course." Ms. Calendar was reviewing for the senor finals. She jumped around while reviewing, asking various questions from different time periods. Most all girls would pass their final exams. But they were still very important.

"Ms. Summers, could you tell the class when the rule of Slayers in Training wearing their hair long began? And why it was started?" Ms. Calendar threw Buffy a couple easy questions, knowing she would be thinking about other things.

"Um..yeah in began in the 1920s, when women started wearing their hair short. The Council felt like Slayers and Slayer in training should keep the traditional hair styles." Buffy answered.

"Good. Willow, could you tell me where the Council headquarters were from 1190 to 1275?" Ms. Calendar continued.

"China." Willow answered.

"Excellent. Faith, could tell me what the early Roman Slayers weapons would have been made out of?" Ms. Calendar questioned student after student.


Buffy never thought she would be so happy to get a plate of rice, green beans, corn, and a carton of milk.

"So.............." Willow pressed.

"So, things went so much better than I could have ever imagined." Buffy said.

Willow was pleasantly surprised.


Later that Afternoon
(back in the dorm)


"Wow...another present." Buffy smiled as she entered their room.

Buffy opened the cart wat was from Ms. Calendar.

"She asked me what she could get you for a wedding/birthday present. I told her about you needing some shoes." Willow explained.

Buffy opened the gift to find a simple pair of off white shoes.

"That was so nice of her." Buffy said.

"Okay, you have something old- the wedding dress. You have something new- the shoes. You will have something borrowed- the Council has got a veil for you. All you need is something blue."

Willow walked over to the chest of drawers.

"Now here is something blue." Willow took out a pair of baby blue satin thong panties.

"Ha. Willow! Where did you get those from? They are so pretty!" Buffy looked at the panties.

"I got them when my class went to the Magic Shop yesterday. I slipped away and bought them from a store in town." Willow smiled. "I thought you would like them. You can't have Angelus seeing these cotton white things they give us."

Buffy and Willow giggled.

Then there was a knock at the door. Willow opened it. A young man in uniform was standing there.

"Ms. Summers?" The man looked around.

"That's me." Buffy stood.

"I have been sent by the Council to tell to begin packing your things , so everything will be prepared by next Tuesday. We will start moving some of your belonging to his place tomorrow. You don't need to pack much- just your uniforms, dresses, and personal items. You leave your bedding, pillows, furniture."

Buffy nodded in agreement. The man smiled and left.

Willow realized something.

"So I guess this is the beginning of the end." Willow said, looking a bit hurt.

"No. No, we still have finals to study for. And you can come over any time." Buffy tired to make Willow, as well as herself, feel better.

"I am not even allowed into the area where Council members reside. And when was the last time you saw a Council members wife in the dorms? All the girls we know in the senior class that have gotten married, have not really been since outside school. This really is goodbye." Willow cried.

Buffy cried too.

"I am going to miss you."

Monday Night

Buffy and Willow decided to have one last adventure. They snuck some chocolate into their dorm.

"I can't believe that by this time tomorrow you will be mad."d." Willow said, enjoying her chocolate covered peanuts.

"Yeah..It isn't what I thought would happen. But, he isn't how I thought. I am happy though." Buffy said with a smile.

"I know." Willow smiled back.
