Danny walked into the apartment and saw Rocky scurrying out of their bedroom to jump up and tap his front paws on his shins. It would have been like any other day except that instead of waiting for Danny to lean down and scratch at his ears, Rocky ran back into the bedroom. Two seconds later the dog was at the door again as if to say 'come in here'.

"Summers?" He set his keys down and walked into the bedroom. Rocky then ran to the bathroom door adjoining the bedroom, stopped, and looked back at him.

When Danny followed him there, his heart stopped in his chest when he saw Buffy crumpled up on the floor. He fell to his knees and began gathering her into his arms, sitting back on the tiled floor in the process. "Buffy? Buffy, what's goin' on? Is it Dawn?" Because what else would upset her this much?
