CAMILA POV
At school the next day, Buffy and i wander towards the balcony. Willow and Xander sat together on the railing.
"Any sign of our suspects?" Xander asks and i shake my head.
"Not yet. I don't get it. Why would anybody wanna make a girl?" Buffy asks and i shrug, leaning against the railing next to Xander.
"You mean when there's so many pre-made ones just laying around? The things we do for love." he replies and i look up at him confused.
"Love has nothing to do with this." i say quickly, shaking my head in disbelief.
"Maybe not, but i'll tell you this: people don't fall in love with what's right in front of them." my face falls as i look up at him. "People want the dream. What they can't have." I look over at Buffy, my face falling. Willow looks over at Xander longingly and Buffy looks down at the ground, Angel. "The more unattainable, the more attractive." upset, i push myself away from the railing.
"And for Eric the unattainable would include everyone. That's alive." Willow mutters, jumping off the railing and heading towards the staircase with me.
"Uh, Eric's sick enough to do something like this, but what about Chris? He seems like a human person." Buffy inquires, walking behind Willow and I with Xander.
"I dunno. That thing with his brother was really hard on him. And he talked about death a lot. Maybe he just wanted to get one-up on it." Willow suggests and i shake my head.
"But it's not doable. I mean, making someone from scraps, actually making them live." i shake my head again as i look up.
"If it is, my science project's definitely coming in second this year." Willow smiles meekly.
"And speaking of love..." Xander says and i turn over my shoulder hoping he would be looking at me but instead i follow his gaze to Giles.
"We were talking about the re-animation of dead tissue." Willow says confused.
"Do i deconstruct your segues?" Xander asks.
"Hey." Buffy says to Giles as we meet with him.
"Oh! Yes. Hello." Giles replies distracted.
"Still no sign of our mad doctors?" Buffy asks and Giles turns to look at us confused.
"What? Oh! Uh, corpses, yes. Evil. Huh. Very good." Giles nods looking up before locking his eyes on something. I look up and follow his gaze, seeing Ms Calendar ahead. A soft smile covers my lips as i look at Giles soft gaze.
"Did you bring it?" Ms Calendar asks a student and he shakes his head.
"I forgot it." he replies.
"Tomorrow." Ms Calendar scolds and the student nods as she begins to walk away.
"Very, very good." Giles smiles and i put his shoulder.
"Okay, Giles, just remember, 'i feel a thing, you feel a thing...' but personalise it." i remind him and he looks confused.
"Personalise it?"
"She's a technopagan. Ask her to bless your laptop." i smile up at him. "Have fun!" i turn on my heel and begin to leave.
"What? Oh! Don't..." Giles begins before Xander interrupts.
"Best of luck." he pats Giles on the shoulder as the others follow me down the halls.
