Wake up in the middle of life.

[In which we were left unsupervised, and what started as crossover silliness became something a good deal more than the sum of its parts.]

petra: I must not fall asleep. I mustn't.
hannah: Not yet, anyway.
Amuse yourself with Spike's reaction on learning jumpship pilots *voluntarily* get their brains pierced.Then: Illyan.
Petra: "Do you know how much trouble I go to *try* to forget things?"
Hannah: Angel saying he knows people who would've killed for that sort of thing. Not an exaggeration.
Petra: Yeah.
Hannah: I mean, Giles would've liked to just think for a moment and poof, there's the answer.
Petra: why yes.
Hannah: "Page twenty-three, paragraph four, line five...third word..."
Willow: Now count the commas on the page!
Petra: yeah.
( Hannah: She wonders why "never forgetting" is a curse and why Giles went out and got it. )
