*Mel entered the kitchens and walked over to the cupboards. There was some bread and cheese and all the way in the back stood a bottle of scotch, so Mel stood on her toes and reached for it, causing her shirt to rise on her back and show some of the scars that decorated her ivory skin.*
"I hope you don't mind if I drink. I need it."
*Mel said to Buffy.*

*Buffy shook herself from contemplation of Mel's back. Where had those scars come from? she wondered. And what sort of being was she, to be brought back from the dead? Well, she certainly eats like someone who's been dead. Buffy'd been there before.*
"Um, no. I mean, I've been dead before. It sucks. And I stole some of mom's peach schnapps. She got so mad at me! Imagine what she would have said if she knew I'd been dead?"

*Mel set the bottle down on the table and stared at Buffy when she had told her that she had also been dead once. Was this normal? Did people just die and come back to life? Mel shook her head and sat down.*
"I think your mother would have been worried. Mothers are supposed to worry about their children."

*Buffy sat across from Mel and rested her chin on her hand.*
"Yeah, I guess so. But she didn't know about the Slayer thing, then, and it was too much to explain. I wish I'd told her sooner, now. I don't know."
*She knew she'd never get over her mom's death. But she found she could mention her without completely breaking down. She shook herself. This was not the time.*
"I wasn't dead that long. Just a few seconds, or something. Xander did CPR, and I was fine. Went on to kill the guy who did it, too, that very nice. That's totally not as bad as waking up in a coffin, so I'm not, like, trying to steal your thunder or whatever. I just wish we know what happened. Unexplained resurrection is usually kind of icky."

"Yes, icky."
*Mel replied as she stared at the glass of scotch she had poured herself, remembering those terrible when she had realized that she had waken up in a coffin. She gulped down the golden brown liquid as she fixed her icy blue eyes on Buffy.*
"So you're an expert in these kind of things."

*Buffy felt a little taken aback at Mel's stare. She shrugged.*
"I don't know if I'd say expert. More like, field researcher." *She pouted. She should be more helpful.* "I'm a Vampire Slayer. I mean, that's what it's called, but there's way more to it than that. But... yeah. I've seen a lot."

*Mel nodded and gulped down another glass of scotch. She found that the alcohol helped against the hysteria.*
"So what should we do next?"

*Buffy reached over and plucked the bottle from Mel's hand.*
"Next, we don't get drunk. Being drunk is a good way to get dead, I've learned. So... I don't know. If you don't remember how you died, it'll be hard to track down who did it and keep them from doing it again. Do you have any friends we could talk to?"

*Mel stared at the bottle for a moment, before looking away.*
"I don't have any friends."

*Buffy frowned.*
"Well that can't be true," *she persisted.* "Did you know anyone before you died?"

*Mel thought very hard.*
"There this one man but his suethor left. but I heard he had left the Opera. I am sorry."
*Mel rest her head on the table and closed her eyes.*
"I am no good. Should have stayed dead."

"No! Not at all. Being dead... well, it's really boring."
*She put a hand on Mel's back.*
"Okay, so here's what we do: there are two choices. We can find someone else who can help, who can, like, cast a spell or something; or we forget about it and just see about you getting your life back. Er, a life. It's totally up to you."

*Mel stared at the table and thought for a moment. She had died, but even more important, somebody had killed her. Now she knew that getting you revenge usually would mean that it would backfire, but somebody had killed her!*
"I can't just get a new life."
*Mel said as she sat up straight again.*
"And it's not just revenge that I want, whoever killed me might kill somebody else, you know?"

*Buffy eyed her for a moment.*
"Yeah... Killer do that. Okay. Then we need information. Like... where you died, and how. And I'll try to find Willow. Can you remember anything?"

*Mel pained her brains and tried to squeeze out every bit of information that she could find.*
"I remember being alone and it was dark."
*Mel sighed and continued.*
"I must have been in some kind of empty rehearsal room, there was a mirror, a table, one of those bar thing's that the ballet rats use to practice their dancing. I was thinking things over."
*The image came floating back to her mind.*
"I heard a noise and then...."
*Melpomene gasped and stared at Buffy with her icy blue eyes wide of shock.*
"I remember a face!"
