Thanks, I'm glad you like my take on Buffy and normal. As for the Scoobies, I don't think they pushed her into it anything, although she sort of thinks they did. She always said she wanted normal, and when she went after it they gave her their blessing instead of trying to talk her out of it. But considering how they often tried to talk her out of both Spike and Angel she assumed that they thought she was doing the right thing. If that makes sense.
