Willowâs sitting on the bed in pajamas in Buffyâs old bedroom, meditating. Buffy walks up to the doorway, sees her, and decides not to interrupt her. Willow opens her eyes.
BUFFY
Oh, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to interrupt.
WILLOW
Thatâs all I had left in me anyway.
BUFFY
I didnât realize meditating was such hard work.
WILLOW
Iâm healing. Growing new skin.
BUFFY
(walks toward Willow) Wow. Thatâs magic, right? I mean, when most people when they meditate donât get extra skin, right. âCause Clem should, like, cut back. (sits on edge of bed)
WILLOW
Itâs magic. Iâm drawing power from the earth to heal myself.
BUFFY
Weâre on the second floor.
WILLOW
(laughs) You know Giles says everythingâs part of the earth. This bed. The air. Us.
BUFFY
Explains why my fingernails get dirty even when I donât do anything.
WILLOW
Plus you stuck your thumbs in a demon.
Willow leans back, exhausted.
BUFFY
Youâre wiped out. I-I should go.
WILLOW
No. Please stay. I missed you so much when I couldnât find you.
BUFFY
We missed you too. I missed you. Dawnâs, uh, working on what caused the mutual no-see-ums, but so far we havenâtâ
WILLOW
I didnât mean to. I-I just remember thinking I wasnât ready to see you guys yet. I was afraid we wouldnât, you know, connect.
BUFFY
So, you made it happen just by thinking it?
WILLOW
Guess I have a ways to go before I master my powers, huh?
BUFFY
Itâs OK. As long as youâre all right.
WILLOW
Itâs nice to be forgiven. Too bad I need so much of it.
BUFFY
I have a confession to make. I thought it might be you. With the flaying.
BUFFY
I wanna be the kind of person that wouldnât think that. Xander never thought it.
WILLOW
He did, a little. Heck, I did a little. Xander has the luxury of not saying it, but youâre the slayer. You have to say stuff like that. Itâs OK. Itâs OK too if you still donât think I can recover from this magic stuff, âcause, honestly, Iâm not that sure about it either.
Willow leans forward again, sighing, to begin meditating again.
BUFFY
I thought you were too tired.
WILLOW
It hurts too much not to try.
WILLOW
It just takes so much strength. I donât have that much.
BUFFY
I got so much strength, Iâm giving it away.
Buffy sits cross-legged in front of Willow and holds her hands. They meditate together.
Im one of the biggest fans of #BTVS and I hve seen the series a few times and I pick up new stuff each time. I got to this episode âSame Place, same Timeâ and the ending made me tear up. Its so metaphorical to me and how I have been feeling its ridiculousâŚ..but im also taken care of
