Doppelgangland drabble.

I will get round to replying to comments. But for now I'll just re-post a drabble I wrote for buffy_love's 'BtVS s3 Episode Challenge' and somehow never re-posted in my own LJ. Buffy's thoughts after seeing Vamp!Willow:

Doppelgangland

The library steps are hard, offering no comfort. Buffy stares ahead, trying to make her mind understand what her eyes saw.

Willow is dead.

It hangs in the air, colouring the world grey, and she knows what she must do. What her duty is now. Glancing at Xander, she can see that he is crushed and has room for nothing but grief, and she wishes that she had the same luxury.

Her mind racing, she wonders if Willow's staking will cost her Xander's friendship.

Slowly a treacherous thought rises to the surface:

Maybe I could get Faith to do it?

That's great! So Buffy. So ADD. So cool!

Thank you! Thank you! :)

(What does ADD stand for?)

Attention Deficit Disorder. Means Buffy tends to be easily distracted, and think in discontinuous patterns. It tends to be over-diagnosed in schools over here.

Of course! *hits self over head* I'm just not used to seeing it mentioned in a Buffy context.
