I wanna do something normal. 18 00:01:01,492 --> 00:01:03,244 Something safe. 19 00:01:44,852 --> 00:01:46,604 Giles didn't approve, huh? 20 00:01:46,692 --> 00:01:50,480 He totally lost his water. We haven't seen a vampire in over a week. 21 00:01:50,572 --> 00:01:54,247 - He could get a girlfriend if he wasn't so old. - We're behind you. 22 00:01:54,332 --> 00:01:59,326 People scoff at things like school spirit, but look at these girls giving their all like this! 23 00:02:00,372 --> 00:02:02,681 Ooh, stretchy! 24 00:02:02,772 --> 00:02:04,091 Where was I? 25 00:02:04,172 --> 00:02:08,643 Pretending to see scantily clad girls in revealing postures as a spiritual experience. 26 00:02:08,732 --> 00:02:10,563 Who said I was pretending? 27 00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:14,531 - Hey!

They all said that. 30 00:02:22,692 --> 00:02:25,047 Just look at that Amber. 31 00:02:25,132 --> 00:02:28,807 - Who does she think she is? A Laker Girl? - I heard she turned them down. 32 00:02:28,892 --> 00:02:32,202 OK, listen up. Let's begin with 33 00:02:32,292 --> 00:02:33,645 Amber Grove. 34 00:02:33,732 --> 00:02:37,486 - If you're not auditioning, move off the floor. - Amy! Hi. 35 00:02:37,572 --> 00:02:39,369 Hi! 36 00:02:39,452 --> 00:02:43,365 I didn't know you wanted to be a cheerleader. You lost a lot of weight. 37 00:02:43,452 --> 00:02:44,567 Had to. 38 00:02:44,652 --> 00:02:46,324 - Do you know Buffy? - Hi. 39 00:02:46,412 --> 00:02:50,200 - Hi. - How I hate this. "Let me count the ways." 40 00:03:08,692 --> 00:03:12,810 She trained with Benson. He's one of the best coaches money can buy. 41 00:03:12,892 --> 00:03:16,168 - They have cheerleading coaches? - Oh, yeah! Don't you have? 42 00:03:16,252 --> 00:03:19,289 I train with my mom - three hours in the morning, three at night. 43 00:03:19,372 --> 00:03:23,365 Hm. That much quality time with my mom would lead to some quality matricide. 44 00:03:23,452 --> 00:03:26,842 Yeah... Well, I know it's hokey, but she's really great. 45 00:03:42,452 --> 00:03:43,771 What the...? 46 00:03:46,532 --> 00:03:48,488 That girl's on fire! 47 00:03:48,572 --> 00:03:50,449 Enough of the hyperbole! 48 00:04:08,612 --> 00:04:11,729 It's OK. It's OK. You're gonna be... OK! 49 00:04:11,812 --> 00:04:13,245 God! 50 00:05:04,532 --> 00:05:06,921 I've been slaying vampires for over a year, 51 00:05:07,012 --> 00:05:10,129 and I have seen some pretty cringeworthy things, but... 52 00:05:10,212 --> 00:05:14,364 - nobody's hands ever got toasted before. - I imagine not. 53 00:05:14,452 --> 00:05:18,445 - So, this isn't a vampire problem. - No. 54 00:05:18,532 --> 00:05:21,444 But it is funky, right? Not of the norm? 55 00:05:21,532 --> 00:05:26,287 Quite. Spontaneous human combustion is rare and scientifically unexplainable. 56 00:05:26,372 --> 00:05:30,365 There have been cases for hundreds of years. Usually all that's left is a pile of ashes. 57 00:05:30,452 --> 00:05:33,171 That's all that would have been left without Buffy. 58 00:05:33,252 --> 00:05:35,766 So we have no idea what caused this? 59 00:05:35,852 --> 00:05:39,731 - That's a comfort! - That's the thrill of living on the Hellmouth. 60 00:05:39,812 --> 00:05:44,408 There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage. 61 00:05:46,692 --> 00:05:48,842 Pardon me for finding the glass half full. 62 00:05:48,932 --> 00:05:52,242 Any common denominators in cases of spontaneous combustion? 63 00:05:52,332 --> 00:05:57,565 Er, rage. In most cases, the person who combusted was terribly angry, or... or upset. 64 00:05:57,652 --> 00:06:01,088 So maybe Amber's got this power to make herself be on fire. 65 00:06:01,172 --> 00:06:04,926 - It's like the Human Torch, only it hurts. - I'll get the skinny on Amber. 66 00:06:05,012 --> 00:06:07,526 Find out if she's had colourful episodes before. 67 00:06:07,612 --> 00:06:12,163 That means hacking into the school's computer system. Something I can do. 68 00:06:12,252 --> 00:06:14,641 - I'll ask around. - Don't get involved. 69 00:06:14,732 --> 00:06:17,963 What do you mean? We're a team. Aren't we a team? 70 00:06:18,052 --> 00:06:22,284 Yeah. You're the Slayer, and we're, like, the Slayerettes. 71 00:06:22,372 --> 00:06:25,011 I just don't like putting you guys in danger. 72 00:06:25,092 --> 00:06:29,165 I laugh in the face of danger. Then I hide until it goes away. 73 00:06:29,732 --> 00:06:33,042 OK. Just walk softly, at least until we know a little more. 74 00:06:33,132 --> 00:06:35,566 What if Amber isn't causing this herself? 75 00:06:35,652 --> 00:06:39,088 Well, then we have to determine who or what did. 76 00:06:39,172 --> 00:06:42,244 And, er, deal with it accordingly. 77 00:06:48,012 --> 00:06:49,968 - Hey! - Hi. How was school? 78 00:06:50,052 --> 00:06:52,361 Mm. A reverentjoy! 79 00:06:52,452 --> 00:06:56,161 - What's all this? - It's for the tribal art display. 80 00:06:56,252 --> 00:06:57,651 Cool! 81 00:07:00,132 --> 00:07:03,044 - We had try-outs today. - Oh, great. How'd it go? 82 00:07:03,132 --> 00:07:06,408 I didn't actually get to try out. There was an accident. 83 00:07:06,492 --> 00:07:09,643 - Fierce competition, though. - I know you'll do fine. 84 00:07:09,732 --> 00:07:12,724 Keep on pluggin'. Just have to get back on the horse. 85 00:07:12,812 --> 00:07:14,484 - Mom? - Yeah? 86 00:07:14,572 --> 00:07:17,040 - What was I trying out for? - Oh, uh... 87 00:07:18,252 --> 00:07:21,562 ..some activity? I have no idea. I'm sorry. 88 00:07:22,532 --> 00:07:25,763 That's OK. Your platitudes are good for all occasions. 89 00:07:25,852 --> 00:07:28,047 I'm distracted. 90 00:07:28,132 --> 00:07:30,965 I've got a lot of inventory to go through here. 91 00:07:31,052 --> 00:07:33,327 This is my gallery's first major show. 92 00:07:34,452 --> 00:07:38,604 You know, it might not physically kill you to give me a hand here. 93 00:07:42,772 --> 00:07:45,002 - It was cheerleading. - Oh, good! 94 00:07:45,092 --> 00:07:48,607 I'm glad you're taking that up again. It'll keep you out of trouble. 95 00:07:48,692 --> 00:07:51,081 - I'm not in trouble. - No, not yet. 96 00:07:54,372 --> 00:07:57,364 I mean, you stopped cheerleading just before the trouble. 97 00:07:57,452 --> 00:08:00,250 So it's good you're going back. 98 00:08:01,532 --> 00:08:04,444 - Oh, dear. - What? 99 00:08:04,532 --> 00:08:08,366 - A fertility statue. You don't need to see it. - You know, 100 00:08:08,452 --> 00:08:13,003 there's this girl, Amy, and she trains with her mom, like, three hours a day. 101 00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:16,004 - Uh-huh? - Sounds like her mom's pretty into it. 102 00:08:16,772 --> 00:08:20,048 Sounds like her mom doesn't have a lot to do. 103 00:08:26,052 --> 00:08:28,043 Jeepers! 104 00:08:28,332 --> 00:08:33,326 Despite the terrible thing that happened, we still have to pick new cheerleaders. 105 00:08:33,412 --> 00:08:37,963 If you make the team, you'll find your names posted in the quad after lunch. 106 00:08:38,052 --> 00:08:41,408 Let's begin with group performance. 107 00:08:41,492 --> 00:08:43,801 Why do my hands sweat when I get nervous? 108 00:08:43,892 --> 00:08:45,803 Don't worry. You'll do great. 109 00:08:45,892 --> 00:08:47,883 Five, six, seven, eight! 110 00:08:47,972 --> 00:08:51,760 Sunnydale! Sunnydale! We never fail!

Get down with your bad self! 117 00:09:20,412 --> 00:09:24,963 Her nickname was "Catherine the Great". She made that team Tri-County Champions. 118 00:09:25,052 --> 00:09:28,089 You know, no one's ever done that before. Or since. 119 00:09:28,172 --> 00:09:30,891 She and my dad were Homecoming King and Queen. 120 00:09:30,972 --> 00:09:34,647 - They got married after graduation. - That's kinda romantic. 121 00:09:34,732 --> 00:09:37,610 Well, he was a big loser. Never made any money. 122 00:09:37,692 --> 00:09:41,048 Ran off with Miss Trailer Trash when I was 12. 123 00:09:41,132 --> 00:09:44,522 OK. That part's less romantic. 124 00:09:44,612 --> 00:09:48,446 - My folks split up, too. - Drag, huh? 125 00:09:48,532 --> 00:09:53,287 He left my mom with nothing. She put herself through cosmetology school. 126 00:09:53,372 --> 00:09:58,241 Bought me everything I ever wanted. And never once gained a single pound. 127 00:09:59,252 --> 00:10:02,289 She sounds really great, Amy. But, um... 128 00:10:02,372 --> 00:10:06,763 it doesn't mean you need to lock step as far as this cheerleading thing. 129 00:10:06,852 --> 00:10:08,843 She was the best. 130 00:10:08,932 --> 00:10:13,084 And I can't get my body to move like hers. I choked in there so bad! 131 00:10:13,172 --> 00:10:15,128 No, Amy, you did fine. 132 00:10:15,852 --> 00:10:18,491 - I'm gonna get changed. - Wait!

But Amy's nice. We used to hang in junior high. 141 00:10:43,892 --> 00:10:48,761 When her mom was on a broth kick, Amy'd come to my house and we'd eat brownies. 142 00:10:48,852 --> 00:10:51,969 Hm! Hey, any word on Amber? 143 00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:56,967 Nothing thrilling. Average student, got detention once for smoking. 144 00:10:57,052 --> 00:11:00,931 Regular smoking, with a cigarette - not, like, being smoky. 145 00:11:01,012 --> 00:11:03,810 - Hm. - All pretty normal. 146 00:11:03,892 --> 00:11:06,406 So we'll just have to wait and see what happens. 147 00:11:06,492 --> 00:11:09,086 Maybe nothing will. 148 00:11:39,372 --> 00:11:40,725 I have a dream. 149 00:11:40,812 --> 00:11:46,603 It's me on the cheerleading squad, adored by every varsity male as far as the eye can see. 150 00:11:47,092 --> 00:11:52,803 We have to achieve our dreams, Amy. Otherwise, we wither and die. 151 00:11:52,892 --> 00:11:54,848 Look, I'm sorry about... 152 00:11:55,692 --> 00:11:59,924 If your supreme klutziness out there today takes me out of the running, 153 00:12:00,012 --> 00:12:03,209 you're gonna be so very beyond sorry. 154 00:12:04,212 --> 00:12:06,601 Have a nice day. 155 00:12:17,052 --> 00:12:20,203 - I told Buffy about Amber. - Cool. Was she wearing it? 156 00:12:20,532 --> 00:12:24,081 The bracelet. She was wearing it, right? Pretty much like we're going out. 157 00:12:24,172 --> 00:12:27,926 Except without the hugging or kissing or her knowing about it. 158 00:12:28,012 --> 00:12:30,128 So I'm just a figure of fun. 159 00:12:30,212 --> 00:12:33,727 - I should ask her out, right? - You won't know till you ask. 160 00:12:33,812 --> 00:12:38,681 That's why you're so cool. You're like a guy - my guy friend that knows about girls' stuff. 161 00:12:38,772 --> 00:12:40,922 Oh, great!

We should test for steroids. 169 00:13:10,052 --> 00:13:14,330 Not only did you make the team, Buffy is the first alternate.
