On the next all-new episode of The Chosen ...
Fade from black to Xander speaking animatedly to his friends.
Xander: Look at us. The doom, the gloom, the ... something else that ends in -oom. We deserve a break today.
The Scoobies decide to take some muchly-needed time off.
Giles: I suppose a weekend of relaxation might do us some good. What do you propose?
Xander: A new campground just opened up not too far from here.
Buffy: (sceptically) You wanna go camping.
Xander: Yeah! It's fun for the whole family.
Buffy: It's January.
Xander: Details.
They're getting away from it all.
Willow is enthusiastically shoving things into a backpack.
Willow: The barest essentials. Roughin' it, as men do.
Buffy: You're not a man.
Willow: Details.
Faith and Tara sit by a small creek. Faith hands Tara a nondescript bottle.
Tara: What's this?
Faith: (grinning) Family recipe.
Xander struggles with poles and tarp.
Xander: Hey, needing a little help pitchin' a tent!
Buffy and Willow break into unrestrained giggles.
Or did it all come with them?
The Scoobies are sitting around a blazing fire. The sound of screaming echoes through the woods, and they all look around nervously.
Buffy: Okay, I'm going with either bear, or someone is WAY too serious about their weenie roast.
Cut to black.
Xander (V.O.): It's story time.
He flicks on a flashlight held directly under his chin.
Xander: Who goes first?
The Chosen: A Buffy Virtual Season 9. Because the story's not done yet.
