Cut to Willow and Buffy walking across campus. True-to-form of high school girls everywhere, they dissect the conversation that Buffy just had with Angel. Buffy wonders to Willow what she should do about Angel, and Willow advises her to seize the day. Buffy responds, "Right. I think we're going to. Seize it. Once you get to a certain point then seizing is sort of inevitable." Huh. That sounds a tad unpleasant, but hey, it's Angel, King of Pain, so I'm not surprised if he's into that. Willow gets all "wow" to Buffy and they start walking to class. Buffy notices Oz sitting on a table practicing guitar. Willow crushes aloud to Buffy for a moment but then seems worried that Oz, being a senior, is too old for her. Buffy: "Please. My boyfriend had a bicentennial." And you look like you've got one coming up too, Buffy. I mean, what is up with that hair? The young matron cut and the ash-blonde dye aren't helping your cause. Buffy advises Willow that she can't "spend the rest of [her] life waiting for Xander to wake up and smell the hottie. Make a move." Buffy takes off; Willow considers her options for a moment before finally approaching Oz. He says hello and they make some small talk, but let's get to the good stuff. Just as Willow is starting to feel a little awkward, Oz says, "I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night and I'm kind of nervous about it, actually. It's interesting." Willow: "Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm going to say yes." Oz says that it "creates a comfort zone," and then proceeds to ask her out. Willow smacks her forehead in frustration and says that she can't. Oz: "Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable." Willow tells him that she has to go to a surprise party for Buffy's birthday and invites him to go as her date. Oz gives a little half-smile at Willow's word choice. He agrees to go, and Willow walks off repeating "I said 'date'" to herself. Let's all take a moment to sigh dreamily at what is the best execution of pre-first-date maneuvering in the entire history of the world. ["Willow and Oz make me swoon. Sigh." -- Ace]
