�So why did you come on patrol with Mr. Oz? Seems you�ve been doin� that a lot lately. I mean it�s not like I don�t have a soul any more, I swear,� Buffy made the boy scouts sign.

�When did you become a Boy Scout?� Oz asked with a guarded grin.

Buffy gave him a confused frown before recognizing the playful look Oz had on. �Rightio, Oz humor. I got to get used to you saying more than two words at a time.�

�Well it comes and goes in stages, don�t get too used to it.�

�More Ozzy humor? Wow, tonight must be a special night, should I have dressed up?� Buffy said with her own grin.

�You could say that,� Oz this time sounded totally serious.

�What?? I should have dressed up?� Buffy asked confused looking down at her outfit. She had spent over an hour getting it together. She had been doing that a lot lately since Oz started patrolling with her, she had no idea why, Buffy just felt the need to look her best.

�No not that,� Oz said in a monotone.

�What is it Oz?�

�Buffy, could we just stop for a bit?�

��Sure Oz. Is there�is there something you want to tell me?�

�It�s just�there�s�there�s this�� Buffy watched Oz�s eyes widen with horror, �huge whirlpool right behind you!�

�What?� Buffy asked confused. She turned around as she felt herself being sucked towards the phenomena.

�Buffy, No!!� Oz cried out grabbing onto one of Buffy�s flailing arms, to find he was being pulled in as well.
