   Buffy left her own home because she tried to steamroll her friends   
   into following her orders by threatening to leave.  This was   
   probably INTENDED to be a bluff, but when her friends called her   
   bluff Buffy was too stubborn to back down.   
      
   (As far as them becoming friends again, they always make up after a   
   big blowup.  Usually the blowup happens because there are   
   underlying issues that everybody's been ignoring until they   
   explode.)
