--------------------------------------------

   How do I make things right again? No...not the time for this. 

I'll think about that later. Right now I need to meditate. 

Ok...relax...breath...clear your mind Rosenberg...arg...how am I 

suppose to find the calm within when my life is the very opposite of 

calm, its not even eye of the hurricane calm...it...ok...that line 

of thought really needed to end. What I really need to think about 

is how to fix things with Buffy. I've been back for a month now and 

we still haven't really talked. I'm just not sure if I can just 

start a conversation with her like all is of the good between us. 

The only time we really talked is when I first got back and that was 

just the usual 'how've you been?' and ' I'm glad you're home', type 

of deal. I know she's probably feeling about the same as I am but I 

still can't seem to put my feelings into words when I'm around her. 

And I'm still trying to get use to the house being so empty.


   That was my biggest adjustment when I got back...the gang was so 

scattered. I'm so use to people coming and going it took a few days 

to get use to the quite. But I think it's better this way for 

now...I need this time to get back into the swing of things. At 

first I didn't think I could do it. I was feeling sorry for myself 

and I thought I was in the way and I didn't think Buffy wanted me 

around because, hello, I tried to kill her. Then me and Faith (yeah, 

I know, Faith) we started having our nightly talks and she told me 

about how crazy Buffy went after Giles took me away, I'm not to sure 

about what went down between Giles and Buffy that night but Buffy 

still won't talk to him. Anyways...Faith told me how guilty Buffy 

felt about letting me down and stuff and how she cry herself to 

sleep and a lot of other stuff that I would of never guessed Buffy 

ever doing especially over me. Our conversation pretty much ended 

with Faith telling me to get over it, in a more polite very non-

Faith kind of way.


   Surprise of the decade award goes to Buffy and Faith doing the 

cohabiting thing...without killing each other...me and Faith getting 

along without killing each other, I'm still trying to wrap my mind 

around that one. But Faith and I have really been getting along 

quite nicely. One night after a bit of 'Jack', she told me about her 

feelings for Buffy, seems to be a recurring theme with this group. I 

told her I felt the same about the buffster and she said she knew 

that since high school. Buffy...it always seem to come back to her 

doesn't it? As much as I hate to admit this, even when I was with 

Tara it was all about Buffy. That was one of the major reasons we 

broke up. And now there's Faith and all her sexiness that's more 

than impossible to ignore. I am one mixed up girl...


   "For someone who's suppose to be meditating you sure seem to be 

thinkin' pretty hard." Uh oh...busted. "&and why are you
doing the 

meditation thing so late?"


   "It could be because I was thinking pretty hard, and I couldn't 

sleep so I thought this would help." I don't even have to look at 

her to know that she's probably leaning against the door, with her 

hip cocked out, wearing her 'I know something you don't know' smirk. 

But of course I look anyway, and what do you know...I was right. " 

Why don't you come on in and have seat?" I asked her and as usual 

she flops down on my bed, pretty much sprawled out across it. " I've 

never seen someone so small take up so much room...not even Xander 

takes up this much space." I tell her with a shove and a smile.


   " Any other time I'd use that set-up and run with it but I saw 

the smoke when I rolled up." She says as she take a more comfortable 

position...for me anyway...next to me. " You want to talk about it, 

seeing how the peace and quite thing doesn't seem to be working for 

you?" A concerned Faith...that's so cute. Where was this Faith the 

first time around?


   " I don't think we need yet another ride on the Willow Rosenberg 

pity train."


   " That's true..." She quipped.


   " Hey..."


   " But this isn't about pity. It's about me caring about what's 

going on with you." After a beat she adds " And if you ever tell 

anyone I said that I'll give you a taste of what you offered Riley." 

There goes that smirk again.


   " No worries...your secret's safe with me...for the moment."


   " Hey..." Uh oh...I know that look in her eye, I'm gonna pay for 

that one.


   " Just kidding, you know...jokes. What, we can't tell jokes no 

more?" I gonna have to keep an eye on her for the next few days. The 

last time she had that look in her eyes she put green dye in my 

shampoo. I don't think I need to finish that story.


   " No...jokes are good. I even have a few of my own." Something 

about that grin on her face tells me I'm in for a world of 'jokes'. 

I think its time for a subject change.


   "Uh, I know you're suppose to be meeting Buffy on patrol soon so 

why don't you do that and when you get back we'll talk." 


   " Yeah, no sweat." She said as she bounced off the bed. " It'll 

give you time to sweat about what color your hair might be this 

time." With that parting shot she was gone and so it continues the 

saga called my life.


   Well I guess I'll try to get some sleep in before she gets back. 

The way those two get when they slay together it could be a few 

hours before they get back. Maybe Faith will give me the little push 

I need to go talk to Buffy.
