Chapter Two:
"Yes Doll, believe me I understand completely," Lorne spoke into the cell phone that seemed permanently attached to his ear, "I can't have a spell cast that will cause Ben Affleck to fall in love with you." He paused. "Why? Because we're already trying to sort out the mess that happened when J.Lo had us cast the spell. Brit calm down, I'm sure you can find someone else. They must be lined up around the block for you." Lorne passed by his assistant and rolled his eyes while he mouthed 'Britney Spears' and crossed through the threshold of his office. Before he noticed the fax that was placed a top the monstrous pile of contracts that covered his desk. Reading the fax from Wesley, Lorne spoke into the phone, "Britney babe, I'm going through a tunnel." He then promptly hung up on the blonde performer and left heading straight for the Hyperion.

"So according to Stype v. Thomas, the precedent commands the law can not usurp demons kept as domestic pets." Gunn paused. "Mr. Frierson had every right to keep the Gorlip demon and Officer Gallant could not take the demon from him without just cause." Gunn dribbled to ball a little and then arched himself for the perfect lay-up and smiled as he heard the satisfying swish it made as it went through the net.
"So is that really what you said? 'Cause man that in no way sounds threatening" Wood responded as he stole the faded orange basketball from the lawyer.
"I know that's what I thought, but man the guy just started balling. Just broke down and cried said he was sorry and would never do it again." He tried to block the former Principal's arms as he went for another free throw.
"Maybe he was under a lot of stress? Or a spell? I just don't see why he would cry?"
"Yeah maybe, I ended up having to comfort the man as he sobbed and dried his eyes with the ugliest tie I've ever seen." Gunn walked over to the bench where his water was and took a drink before wiping the sweat off his face with his discarded shirt. Wood followed him and picked his own water and poured it over his head.
"Maybe that was the cause of his stress the ugly tie." Wood responded
"Yeah, it was pretty ugly, reminded me of Konaetal demon, maroon with bright neon yellow spots."
"Yssh I hope that was a gift and not the guys own taste." Wood and Gunn chuckled as they screwed the caps on both their bottles.
"Gunn your jackets moving?" Wood noticed the pocket begin to jump a bit. And was wary of what could cause it to actually jump off the wooden bench.
"Ohh new cell phone," Gunn reached into his pocket and flipped the phone open. "Company issued, I jump every time it rings. Excuse me a moment." He told Wood before answering the phone and stepping away.
"We got to head back to headquarters," Gunn said as he started picking up his stuff. "Sounds like something big is going down."
"OK fine," Wood lifted his shirt up over his head and pulled it down, "Wait, whose headquarters? Yours or mine?"
"Can you hold on a sec." Gunn then proceeded to dial the number on his cell phone.

"Okay this is bloody ridiculous!" Giles sighed angrily and whipped his glasses off before looking back at the other watcher, "I mean you can't really believe that this is actually going to happen?" His expression changing from anger to worry.
"I know but Fred says her cosmic readings are off the charts and the mythology does match up." Wesley told his former rival/mentor. "If your asking if I want it to be true, then the answer is no. But all the signs point to it? You have to admit that."
"Yes I realize that it does all fit but it could it really be?" Giles put his glasses back on and sank into the chair in his new office.
"I think it is." The former rogue demon hunter answered.

The slayers were out patrolling the sewers and Andrew was at an all day Star Trek movie marathon. So it was just the senior members of the Scoobies and the fang gang. The whole group was gathered together in the master suite that had been converted into Giles' living quarters and office, Fred, Wes, Gunn, Wood, Giles, Faith, Lorne, Dawn, Angel, Buffy, Willow and Xander. They all looked concerned, and Willow looked like she was going to cry but Xander held her. The news Wesley, Fred and Giles had just presented sent a chill through all their bones.
"So basically your saying that Willow and Xander's baby is the Messiah?" Dawn asked bluntly.
