Willow’s sitting on the bed in pajamas in Buffy’s old bedroom, meditating. Buffy walks up to the doorway, sees her, and decides not to interrupt her. Willow opens her eyes.
BUFFY
Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt.
WILLOW
That’s all I had left in me anyway.
BUFFY
I didn’t realize meditating was such hard work.
WILLOW
I’m healing. Growing new skin.
BUFFY
(walks toward Willow) Wow. That’s magic, right? I mean, when most people when they meditate don’t get extra skin, right. ‘Cause Clem should, like, cut back. (sits on edge of bed)
WILLOW
It’s magic. I’m drawing power from the earth to heal myself.
BUFFY
We’re on the second floor.
WILLOW
(laughs) You know Giles says everything’s part of the earth. This bed. The air. Us.
BUFFY
Explains why my fingernails get dirty even when I don’t do anything.
WILLOW
Plus you stuck your thumbs in a demon.
Willow leans back, exhausted.
BUFFY
You’re wiped out. I-I should go.
WILLOW
No. Please stay. I missed you so much when I couldn’t find you.
BUFFY
We missed you too. I missed you. Dawn’s, uh, working on what caused the mutual no-see-ums, but so far we haven’t—
WILLOW
I didn’t mean to. I-I just remember thinking I wasn’t ready to see you guys yet. I was afraid we wouldn’t, 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
It’s OK. As long as you’re all right.
WILLOW
It’s 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 wouldn’t 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 you’re the slayer. You have to say stuff like that. It’s OK. It’s OK too if you still don’t think I can recover from this magic stuff, ‘cause, honestly, I’m 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 don’t have that much.
BUFFY
I got so much strength, I’m 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 “Same Place, same Time” and the ending made me tear up. Its so metaphorical to me and how I have been feeling its ridiculous…..but im also taken care of
