Today was February 20th, or as Giles liked to call it, the worst day of the year. Giles' birthday never went as planned. Last year a bunch of demons broke in and trashed the party. But who knew, maybe this year would be different.

Giles was lazily lying in bed reading a book when suddenly Buffy and Willow barged in.

"Happy 40th Birthday!" they yelled

Giles groaned and rolled out of bed, completely forgetting he had slept in his boxers.

"Oh my!" Willow said ducking behind Buffy.

"Dammit! Sorry Willow!" Giles said, quickly pulling on a pair of pajama pants.

Buffy walked over to Giles and gave him a hug. Giles returned the favor with a quick kiss.

"Awww! Look at you two!" Willow said, happily. Buffy and Giles quickly jumped apart. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt!" Willow said nervously.

"It's alright, Will" Buffy said.

"So what's the plan?" Willow asked

"Well, the gang wanted to go out to a restaurant for dinner. Then we'll meet back here and have some fun. Maybe open some gifts." Replied Buffy.

"No, Buffy. We don't have to do anything for my birthday." Giles said.

"Yes we do! It's the big 4-0!" Willow said.

"Oh, and once you finish getting dressed, we can go and have breakfast. I made your favorite… well actually Andrew made your favorite. Then when you're finished eating, the two of us can catch a movie." Buffy said.

"All right, sounds good, but like I said, you don't have to do anything for me" Giles said.

Buffy pushed Giles on the bed. "Oh, yes we do, because you're my G-man!" She said. Buffy leaned in and kissed him playfully.

"I'll leave you two alone…" Willow said, She walked out of the room and closed the door. When Buffy was sure she was gone she kissed Giles and held his arms above his head and started tickling him.

"Buffy! Stop! That tickles!" Giles said.

"That's the point. Now hurry up slowpoke, or else I'll eat your breakfast for you! You better hurry! I know how much you like bacon and eggs!" Buffy said. Then she took of down the hallway and down the stairs.

"Oh, no you don't!" Giles said racing after her.

When he reached the stairs he tried to squeeze past Buffy, but their feet got tangled and they rolled down the stairs. Willow, Xander, Anya, Andrew, and Dawn come running from the kitchen. Buffy and Giles groaned.

"The eggs!" Buffy and Giles yelled.

Giles scrambled to his feet and took of again. Buffy wasn't far behind. She grabbed Giles and pulled him back. Now she was in the lead! But Giles wasn't about to give up his eggs and he did the same. They kept repeating this until they go to the table.

"Ha!" They said together, once they reached the table.

"You two are like little kids!" Andrew whined.

"Well that's how it is when you're in love!" Buffy said pulling Giles closer to her for a kiss.

"Ew! Stop!" Dawn and Andrew said together

"What's wrong with us kissing? Giles asked.

"Nothing, it's just… never mind" Dawn said.

Giles and Buffy quickly gulped down their breakfasts and took off upstairs to find a movie to watch.
