Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Oh, okay, so I guess we're in the desert, as there is sand everywhere. Up ahead I see Buffy, who is sitting on a log, gazing intently at a blazing fire, with Achilles sitting directly behind her. The sand makes tiptoeing towards Achilles an arduous and pain staking process, so I am glad when he starts to make his way back to me. My relief is short-lived however, when I catch a glimpse of a frightening figure on the other side of the fire. Its long, wild hair and ghostly-white face sends shivers down my spine, and so I grab Achilles, turn on my heel and run away, the words "Death is your gift" ringing out behind me. Who on earth is this eerie figure?
2. Oh-oh, now we're in trouble! I see what looks like a building site, with scaffolding on one side, next to a large, open, concrete space. From the safety of the scaffolding, some of the Scoobies, as well as all the Potential Slayers, stare in horror at the frightening spectacle playing out in front of them. For down below, Buffy is battling a terrifyingly ugly and unexpectedly strong beast, which is intent on destroying her. Amidst this hubbub, a mischievous Achilles is chasing his tail in the background, forcing me to crawl on my hands and knees towards him. Fearing for my life, I pluck Achilles from the ground, and run away from the scene. As I do so, I ponder the question, what on earth is the thing Buffy is fighting here?
3. Oh no! Achilles has run inside Sunnydale High School, where it's deathly quiet, and very gloomy! In fact, the building looks to have been abandoned, which makes me very nervous about what's inside. Trying to keep my voice even, I call out for Achilles, nearly jumping out of my skin when he suddenly appears. I then catch sight of a pure, white light, which is coming from a nearby classroom. Peering hesitantly through the keyhole, I see a white-haired Willow, who is radiating with light, a weapon of some kind on the floor, in front of her. Mesmerised, I remember that this is the moment Willow alters the Slayer line forever. But what weapon helps her do this?
4. This time, my search for Achilles takes no time at all, as the little pup is just standing in the middle of a Sunnydale street, gazing in the direction of the town's clock tower. Glad to have found him quickly, as it is night time, I head over to him, only to realise that every muscle in his little body is rigid and tense. As the hairs on the back of my neck begin to rise, my eyes detect movement up ahead, and much to my horror, a bone-chilling sight greets me. For four well-dressed, briefcase-carrying figures hover over the ground, their skull-like heads nodding politely at each other, like macabre business men negotiating a deal. Pulling Achilles into my arms, I hot-foot it in the opposite direction, all the while asking myself, who or what are these awful creatures?
5. We're in the Summers' residence this time around, and as I reach the top of the stairs, the front door opens, and Buffy enters, causing me to hold my breath and pray that I'm hidden from view. From one of the bedrooms, Achilles yawns to himself, and I decide its time for us to take our chances. Tucking my wayward pup under my arm, I carefully creep down the stairs, until I see something that brings me to a horrified halt. From my vantage point, I see a woman laid out on her back on the couch. Her eyes are open, but are blank and unseeing. As Buffy approaches the woman, I turn away, and run for the door, tears blurring my vision. Which much-loved character is it that now lies dead on the Summers' couch?
6. Okay, something is really off about this next scene, and even Achilles is looking a tad bit confused. We're a little way off from the action, but it's easy enough to see and hear everything that's going on. I've never seen Spike wearing tweed before, but here he is wearing just that, like a mini Giles in training. Even stranger, he and Giles are on a swing set, and are merrily swinging back and forth, while Buffy sits cross-legged in front of them, playing by herself in a sand box. It is a bright, sunny day, but something about this scene makes me shiver and, sensing my unease, Achilles ambles over and hides behind my legs. Racking my brains, I continue to ask myself, is this really an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?
7. I've never been a fan of cemeteries, but once again, Achilles is on the loose, and is enjoying playing hide and seek among the gravestones. Just as I scoop up my playful pup, his ears prick up, prompting me to hide us behind a particularly large monument. I'm expecting the worst, so when I look up and see Spike singing to a mighty awkward-looking Buffy, I am momentarily flabbergasted. Achilles' wriggling quickly brings me to my senses, as, much to my amusement, Spike leaps onto a coffin, singing his heart out. With this imprinted on my mind, I race off in the opposite direction, quietly humming Spike's song to myself. What is the name of this song of Spike's?
8. Great! Achilles has dragged me into another spooky patch of greenery, and it's so dark I can barely see the ground. I hear something small scampering around, and sure enough, there is Achilles, looking a little forlorn with his matted fur and shivering limbs. I cradle him in my arms, before catching sight of a flickering candle, and curiosity gets the best of me. Cloaked in darkness, Achilles and I slowly make our way towards the light, only to be struck dumb by the sight of Willow, who is surrounded by an eerie red glow. She has her arms stretched out, and she looks to be in considerable pain. Moreover I am certain that I see things moving under her skin. Sickened, I flee the scene, just as Willow bellows, "Osiris, release her!" Who on earth is the "her" that Willow is referring to here?
9. This time, Achilles has run towards a residential area, and I am forced to give chase. Cornering him in a stone courtyard, I go to grab him, but he merely turns on his heel and disappears through an open front door. I head on after him, but am prevented from entering, by a scuffle involving Angel, who is fighting one mighty angry tribesman. Suddenly Achilles reappears, and leaps into my arms, whimpering fearfully. As I peek through the open door I spot the reason for Achilles' hasty retreat, just as Spike verbalises it, by bellowing at Buffy, "You made a bear!" Sure enough, a huge brown bear stands in what looks to be the remnants of Giles' living room. Not wishing to be eaten, I head towards safety, and hope that the gang do eventually get to enjoy their holiday meal. What particular holiday is it that is being celebrated in this episode?
10. Achilles and I are in dire straits now, as we are trapped in the Magic Box with Dark Willow on the rampage. Things really look to be very bad, and both Achilles and I are quaking in our boots as Buffy and Willow circle each other. The pale, dark-haired, veiny Willow mutters on about power, punctuating her words with a bolt of magic that smashes Buffy into a desk. Her mouth then twists into a smug smile, and with the Slayer lying injured on the floor, Dark Willow announces confidently that "there's no one in the world with the power to stop me now". These ominous words echo around the room, but suddenly, out of nowhere, a blast of green light comes from the direction of the doorway, and a voice states calmly, "I'd like to test that theory". Who is it that has saved the day here?
