conscious choices (5/6)
told through phone calls, emails, and instant messages: the story of how jenny came back to sunnydale and finished falling in love (with some help from willow and buffy)
set in an alternate s4; jenny left after eyghon and therefore never died
this chapter: i honestly don’t think jenny could be more of a disaster
willow: BUFFY
buffy: omg sorry i was fighting gentlemen last night
buffy: and then i got caught up in watching an i love lucy marathon with the mom this morning
buffy: its so nice to have my voice back…i get to criticize plot points again
willow: BUFFY
buffy: chill willow whats up
willow: BUFFY I WALKED IN ON GILES AND MS CALENDAR KISSING
buffy: WHAT
willow: I KNOW
buffy: WHYT HE
buffy: I DONT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS
willow: they saw me and then Ms. Calendar panicked and ran away
willow: Giles went and hid in the kitchen
buffy: why do u tell me these things
willow: I think it’s important for you to know when Giles is happy
buffy: idk willow
buffy: if someone ran off after kissing me i don’t think id be that happy
Hey, you’ve reached Jenny. Leave a message.
“Jenny, it’s me. I—please call me back.”
Hey, you’ve reached Jenny. Leave a message.
“Hey. Are you okay? Listen, I’m sorry I walked in on you and Giles. I hope I didn’t—ruin the moment or anything. I’m starting to think I might have. Anyway. Call me back when you can?”
“Hello?”
“Hi.”
“…Oh. Jenny.”
“Should I apologize?”
“Do you want to?”
“Not, um, not really. No. That was—”
“Nice.”
“…I thought you didn’t have feelings for me.”
“I was under the impression that you didn’t have feelings for me.”
“I didn’t want to talk about it, I guess. It felt easier when I knew we wouldn’t have to.”
“It did.”
“Yeah.”
“…”
“And I really, really wanted to kiss you.”
“Do you still?”
“What? Yes.”
“Come over. We can talk.”
“…”
“What is it?”
“I—I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”
“Jenny—I don’t ever want to make you feel uncomfortable, or-or afraid—”
“It’s not that.”
“…”
“It was so wonderful to kiss you. I wouldn’t change that. But I’m not sure if I want to risk hurting you again if things go south. I—I don’t think I was the only lonely one when I left.”
“…”
“Rupert?”
“I didn’t realize that that was your motivation for wanting to keep our relationship platonic.”
“What did you think it was?”
“I thought you still—that some part of you still—”
“No.”
“Blamed me. For Eyghon.”
“No. No way.”
“Because I would certainly understand—”
“Rupert, I love you.”
“…”
“Wow. Okay. You know, now that I’m thinking about it, maybe that would have been better to tell you face-to-face.”
“…”
“The whole silence thing is—it’s making me kind of nervous.”
[dial tone]
“Rupert?”
Watcher’s Log, Entry #1205
I don’t know how to take this. I don’t know what to do. I thought she was merely attracted to me. I had never considered that she might return my feelings, and to be completely frank, I’m frightened by it. Her love isn’t something that I deserve. It never was.
buffy: u ok?
buffy: we didnt see u at todays scooby meeting
buffy: and giles is all jumpy n weird
jenny_c: How did you get my screen name?
buffy: it isnt super inventive
buffy: also willow told me
jenny_c: I’m fine. I’m sorry Rupert’s upset.
buffy: u know he really really cares about u right?
buffy: ugh i SAID i wasnt gonna meddle but whatever
jenny_c: Buffy, that’s sweet, but he hasn’t talked to me for days.
buffy: he isnt talkin to u bc hes panicking
buffy: also i saw him practicing pickup lines on a chair again
jenny_c: “Again”??
buffy: i said nothing                                            
buffy: u heard nothing from me about giles and chairs
Subject: ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS TALK TO MS CALENDAR ALREADY
[message blank]
Rupert Giles here. At the tone, please leave your message.
“Hi. That was [laughs] kind of stupid of me, to tell you that I love you over the phone, so I thought, um, maybe we could go out for dinner. Or not. Or maybe that’s just not on the table anymore now that I’ve told you I love you. But I know you’re definitely attracted to me, because otherwise you wouldn’t have kissed me so much—a lot—you definitely wouldn’t have pressed me up against the wall and started unbuttoning my shirt. Oh god, it just occurred to me that sometimes the kids hear these messages. Make sure the kids don’t hear these messages. Um. Sorry. I—I talk a lot. When I’m nervous. Also I just had like three cups of coffee to prep for this phone call because I kind of thought you’d pick up and we could speed through this? I’m just now realizing that more impersonal phone conversations might be a bad idea. I think I’m going to just swing by your house tomorrow morning, okay? Okay. Love you. Shit, that’s the problem. Anyway. Bye.”
“Hello?”
“Call Buffy. She needs to come over to Rupert’s place.”
“Ms. Calendar? What’s going on? Why are you at Giles’s house at eight in the morning?”
“That isn’t important right now.”
“Are you okay? You sound kinda stressed.”
“Call Buffy, Willow. She needs to get over here.”
“What’s going on?”
“Just tell Buffy—”
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you calling Buffy yourself?”
“I don’t—I don’t remember her number. Just call Buffy and tell her I need her over here.”
“Why don’t you need me?”
“Willow, just—fuck. Never mind. I’m going to go kill it myself.”
“What? No! Stay there. Um—Buffy’s coming. I’ll call her, okay?”
“Thank you.” [dial tone]
“Oh boy.”
“Hey, Giles! What’s up?”
“Buffy, it’s Willow. You need to come down t-to Giles’s place right now.”
“Willow? What’s—are you crying?”
“…”
“Will?”
“Giles’s apartment is a-a wreck, and Ms. Calendar got down here just in time to get a call from Xander that he’d nearly been attacked by a demon, and then she called me to call you because she wanted you to go fight the demon, because she’s convinced that Giles got dragged off by a demon.”
“You know, Giles’s apartment being trashed isn’t a lot to go on if Ms. Calendar’s assuming—”
“We found his shirt.”
“What?”
“It was ripped to shreds.”
“…oh boy. How’s Ms. Calendar taking it?”
“She left two minutes ago to go kill whatever it was that got Giles.”
“What? Why would you let her do that?”
“She was holding a battle-axe! And you should have seen her eyes, Buffy. I’ve never seen her that angry.”
“Oh my god. Okay. I need to go find her before she gets herself killed. Can you and Xander try and figure out what the demon might be?”
“W-we will.”
“It’s going to be okay, Will. She’ll be fine. I just need to talk her down.”
“I don’t think anyone but Giles can talk her down, and he’s—”
“It’s okay. I promise I’ll make sure she’s okay.”
“Buffy?”
“Hey. Funny story.”
“This is the hospital number, Buffy.”
“So maybe not that funny.”
