Summary: What if Jenny Calendar and Angel had met before Sunnydale...What if she was also under a curse...?

Pairings: Giles/Jenny, Angel/Janna, Buffy/Angel

Author's Note: This is an AU story concerning everything before "Welcome to the Hellmouth" and after "Ted". Everything in between is being left as cannon. Jenny's age is never addressed in BTVS, and so I'm estimating and saying she's 33 (born in 1964) . I have several chapters of this story almost finished, so if you guys like it, more will be available shortly! Please enjoy!

Sunnydale, 1997

"Hey Buff, wait up!"

"Wait for us!"

Xander Harris and Willow Rosenberg hurried to catch up to their friend, who was currently making her way to the library of Sunnydale High like the Hellmouth was about to open again. After walking in on Giles and Ms. Calendar sharing smoochies, she was determined to arrive at the library early and avoid giving history a chance to repeat itself. After nearly breaking down the doors, however, she was disappointed to find the library completely deserted.

"He's not here?" Buffy was confounded. "Giles lives in the library, and school starts in 30 minutes!"

"Buff-" Xander tried.

"I mean, he lectures me day and night about being 'diligent' and 'attentive' and then he doesn't even show up for training!"

"I thought you didn't have training in the morning…" Willow pondered.

"Well, yah, but…"

"This wouldn't have anything to do with Ms. Calendar, would it?" Willow's resolve face slowly taking form.

Buffy opened her mouth like she was about to refute her friend, but cut herself off and signed instead.

"Why don't we head back outside?" Xander suggested. Buffy lead the way as her friends stayed back a moment to let her collect her thoughts before following her out towards the back of the school. Willow and Xander exchanged a glance. Ever since they'd caught Giles and Jenny kissing in the library after Buffy's robot-incident, Buffy had been extremely on edge. Xander chalked it up to the wiggins, but Willow knew better. Giles was practically Buffy's father, and it was perfectly understandable that any serious relationship he entered into would be met with some resentment. That said, however, she was getting slightly peeved at the slayer's constant determination to pretend her watcher wasn't even on the same planet as his girlfriend. Buffy must've noticed the slightly annoyed change in her facial expression,

"Will, you know I want him to be happy…"

Xander rolled his eyes at that and Buffy shot him a glare.

"It's just that they're driving me crazy! I mean, a week ago, Giles was lecturing me every morning on demon expos and ceremonies that weren't going to happen for another five years! Now…the second the school bell rings, he can barely focus!"

"Buff, even G-man gets to have a little life. You know that."

"Yah, I know, but you can't deny that the two of them together doesn't make you feel even a little 'eeewww'."

As if on cue, Giles' car pulled up into the parking lot not 10 feet away. He parked the car and hopped out with more bounce in his step than they even knew he could muster, and cheerfully slung his shoulder bag onto his back. The scoobies waved, and were about to walk over when they noticed Giles wasn't even looking at them. Instead, he headed over to the other side of his beaten Citron and opened the door with a shit-eating grin. He extended his hand and, ever the gentleman, helped a glowing Jenny Calendar out of his car. As she stood, she pulled him close by the lapels of his coat and whispered something in his ear. If possible, Giles's smile grew even wider and he pulled her in for a passionate kiss.

Buffy, Willow, and Xander's jaws dropped to the floor. They knew Giles and Ms. Calendar had gotten back together, but they never thought the two of them would actually 'get together'. A few weeks ago the very thought had given them all the wiggins, and the current situation was not helping.

Completely oblivious to the scarred teenagers watching them, Giles and Jenny deepened their embrace as Giles pressed her back against the car. His hand slid slowly up to cup her breast –

"WOAH!"

The adults flew apart as the realized they had an audience. Jenny straightened her hair and blouse while Giles turned and tried desperately think of anything besides the beautiful woman beside him.

"Um…Buffy…Willow…Xander…" Jenny greeted them in turn with an unconvincing smile. The scoobies remained frozen with varying looks of horror. Realizing there was no plausible way to diffuse the situation, Jenny quickly grabbed her bag and moved past them into the school. Giles turned at the sound of her footsteps, petrified that he was now facing the kids on his lonesome.

"Um…yes…well…I'll just…" He felt no need to finish the sentence as he grabbed his own bag and practically ran to the refuge of the library.

Buffy, Xander, and Willow sank down on the stairs.

"Can I have new eyeballs?" Xander asked shaking.

"Me too." Willow agreed, not really hearing him.

"Do you think the watchers council pays for my therapy?" Buffy wondered.

They three stared into space. After a few minutes, the bell rang to start the day and the three traumatized friends wandered into the building. First period was going to be horrible. Buffy had a free, which meant training with Giles. Willow was due in Ms. Calendar's computer class. For once, Xander was happy he chose to take Geometry.
