Fixing Buffy’s Friend on Dates
PrevNode LinkNext[ Buffy, Faith, and Willow, are sitting at a restaurant outside, eating and chatting. ]
Willow: So, do you think I should get a dog?
Buffy: Oh, my friend, Rachel, that software developer chick who moved here, told me that ever since she bought a dog, she made so many friends and lots of guys showed interest in her, and she’s been telling me about her exploits with them endlessly.
Willow: So she has become a slut? So cool!
Faith: Hey! “Slut” is such a 90s term. The new name for that is “polyamorous”!
Buffy: Which just rolls off the tongue.
Buffy: Heh, to be frank, I don’t think she, ahem…
Faith: Reaches fourth base?
Buffy: Exactly! With most of them.
Willow: Maybe she still haven’t found the right man. You know, someone they’ll both be almost worthy of each other.
Buffy: maybe!
Willow: Oh, I know. One of my students in the university… he’s a brilliant software developer, and is really knowledgeable. I can tell him to contact this friend of yours.
Willow: Oh, oh! My cousin’s son: Noam. He just finished his Israeli military service, and wants to come to work here in Sunnydale.
Buffy: So, like… Israeli… Jewish…
Willow: Dark complexion… short black hair… and really good looking and intelligent.
Faith: Yeah, Mama! OK, Buffy, I won’t forgive you if you don’t fix them on a date.
Buffy: You won’t have to forgive me, because I’ll do it.
Buffy: I’m so glad we’re not one of those married-plus couples that don’t know any single people.
Faith: yeah!
[ A young man (Daniel) approaches the girls, and asks, ]
Daniel: Hello ladies, may I join you?
Buffy: Well, we’re having a girls’ talk, but… sure! Let me introduce myself: I’m Buffy Summers - I’m a teacher at Sunnydale High School.
Daniel: Wow! The vampire slayer? That’s so great! You’re in large part the reason I am here. I’m a big fan of yours. Of all of you.
Faith: And who might you be? [She bursts out laughing.]
Daniel: Oh sorry - I am Daniel, I’m new in town.
Buffy: Daniel… what do you say about me fixing you with a date with a very nice young and single lady I know. Her name is Rachel.
Daniel: Sure, that would be nice.
