And Willow walks up to Sadde and is surprised! "Oh, h—hi!"

"Hey, Willow! Have you met Theo?"

"Hey!"

"N—no! He's the new guy, right? Do you two live close to each other?"

"Nope!"

Theo laughs a bit and flicks Sadde. "Stop teasing her."

She looks between them, blinks, then: "Oh! Oh. Already?"

"Apparently we just had such great chemistry. That plus a love of the mysterious."

"...the mysterious?" She whispers: "Is that euphemism for sex?"

Sadde sporfles.

Theo opens his mouth, closes it, then opens it again. "No. No, 'the mysterious' was not a euphemism for sex."

Very faint blushing. Who would possibly notice such a thing?

Maybe no-one currently present in the conversation, but it turns out someone's pretty good at noticing these things, from a distance.

He continues laughing.

"Okay. Um. W—well, welcome to Sunnydale! And are you sure you want to walk with us in public?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll be fine. If anyone has a problem, they can just take it up with... me."

"No, that's not what they do, what they do is they destroy your social life and any hopes you may have of ever amounting to anything in your life."

"I'm sure I'll be fine. A social life would be nice, but it's like two years. I'm not gonna be totally disconnected."

"If you're sure."

"Stop spooking the new guy, it'll be fine. We're both fine, aren't we?"

"Oh, now we are, but you're not that fine when you end up in the dumpster."

"... End up in the dumpster?"

"They're not terribly creative with their 'pranks,' throwing me into the dumpster is a personal favourite."

"... Oh. Who?"

"Guess."

"... Brad? His name was Brad, right?"
