Outside in a sunny park, Xander approaches figures swinging on a swing set -- Giles and Spike in tweedy suits. Buffy plays in a sandbox nearby. Xander greets them, and Buffy brusquely asks, "Are you sure it's us you were looking for?" Giles swings and smirks. Spike tells Xander that Giles is going to teach him to be a watcher, and Giles confirms that "Spike is like a son" to him. "I was into that for awhile, but I got other stuff going on," replies Xander, looking towards an ice-cream truck across the park, where another Xander is serving ice cream. While Giles and Spike continue to swing, Xander muses that one should always be moving forward. He then looks concernedly at Buffy in the sandbox, and asks if she's sure she should be playing there. Buffy gives him a truculent look as the sandbox turns into an expanse of desert. Buffy replies that "it" isn't coming for her yet, and when Xander frets at her some more, she replies, "I'm way ahead of you, big brother." "Brother?" queries Xander and stares at Buffy. She stares back evenly. Behind Xander, Giles and Spike swing higher and higher. Giles calls out, "A watcher scoffs at gravity."
