Dupont Circle, Late Saturday Afternoon

So a potential slayer, a witch, and a baker and occasional psychic step out of a portal and into a gay bar ...

Only in place of 'bar,' insert 'bookstore.' and in place of 'step ... into' insert 'spend more time than they had planned on looking for.'

But other than that? You can insert your own punchline.

As for Tara, she'd finally spotted the bookstore sign. "That's it!" she said, then, more timidly: "I think. End of the block, right?"
