** From Chapter Five **

	Willow was the first out of her chair, and the first to wrap her
arms around Buffy, hugging as tightly as she could.  The others were
barely half a step behind, all of them babbling loudly and happily.  Spike
backed off with a bemused expression, listening as Anya declared that she
was happy Buffy wasn't dead, Tara apologizing for the stake, and Willow
simply weeping for joy.

	Giles backed away first, and began cleaning his glasses.  He
cleared his throat only to say, "Welcome home, Buffy."
