"So, what's your name, then?" the Doctor asked.

"Buffy. Buffy Summers."

"Short for Elizabeth?" He grinned. "Now Elizabeth, that's a name with possibilities. Ella, Eliza, Elsa, Elsie, Elspeth, Liz, Liza, Lizbeth, Lizette, Liesl, Libby, Beth, Bette, Betta, Bess, Babette, Betty..."

"And Buffy."

"True," he said, "but you could always go for a different variant. New dimension, new name..."

Buffy frowned. "I tried that. Running away from who you are doesn't work. You carry it with you." Death is your gift.

"And you are someone who jumps into portals to save the world. That's a good someone to be, Buffy Summers."

Thank you!

Well, it's a bad thing in that it's taking me away from other stuff that I thought I should be working on... but of course following the Muse while the trail is hot is more fun.
