If there was anything Rupert Giles had learnt during his tenure on the Hellmouth, it was that teenagers needed to blow off steam every so often. After eight inches of snow and canceled classes, the commons looked like a war zone as forts were built, snowballs flew, and the casualties made snow angels.

“You should be out there,” Buffy said, joining him.

“I have a reputation to uphold.”

“Bullshit!”

The cold shocked his system as she shoved snow down the back of his shirt. When he recovered, she was nowhere to be found.

Reputation or no, revenge would be sweet.
