FF A dark day (1/?)

["Holly O'Neall"]

This is the very first FF I've ever wrote. I want to thank each and every one of the very talented writers on this list, you inspired me to give it a try.

*The standard disclaimers apply - I own nothing and Joss has it all ;) This story is the hopefull intro in a series.*



Today is dark. Today is the kind of day that makes me
wonder why I even bother <I mean, the whole slayer thing>
why DO I even try? Has it gotten worse since I arrived? Sometimes it's hard to tell, <and this is definitely one of those times>.
If I stay in bed long enough will the world just go away? Yes, I know I need to go to school, but why should I? The people there don’t get me at all, and I'll never graduate. I suppose there is one reason to go, but <oh great> it’s also a reason to hide! What am I going to do about it? What should I do about . . .?

((and in another house across town..))

I'm not feeling sunny today. I usually can find some reason to maintain the cheeriness factor, but I can tell this is not one of those days <not even close>. I have to get up! Depression is not my thing. I have always been the one to find the bright side of things; life, school, Hellmouth..
Hellmouth? What on earth is the bright side of a hell-spewing hole? <Vampires and Demons are definately not bright-sidey things> Oh wow, I have to stop feeling like this! I have to get out of bed. There’s a big chem. exam today and I promised Xander and, and…... uh, oh jeez.. talk about the bright side of a Hellmouth!! What am, mmm.. what CAN I do about. . .?

<In unison – in their respective bedrooms>

HER.





Thanks for taking the time,

Holly
