"What do you mean, 'Joan's gone AWOL'?" Giles asked, in a very British manner.
"Well... she called herself the uber slayer, then flew away laughing as if she was gonna burn something." Xander replied.
"You're sure?" Dawn asked worriedly.
"Well, yes. I mean, I was there to see her leaving. Also, I know what happy fire starting laughter sounds like."
"Poor Xander." Andrew started.
"Poor Xander? Bleeding hell, boy! We have a rogue slayer... witch. Willow alone almost destroyed the world! Imagine what the two of them together could do!" Spike started.
"A rogue slayer... hmm... no, I've never heard of such a thing." Anya started. She turned to Giles. "So, are you the only watcher who allowed TWO slayers to go crazy and kill things?"
"Well... I..." Giles started.
"Also die. Buffy dies a lot. I bet the council would like you to do something about that." Anya told him. Giles glared at her.
"Do something... what would you want me to do about her deaths?"
"I dunno... not let her die? I mean, sitting back a brewing yourself some tea obviously never helped her... did it?"
"I... I think the first thing we should do is make sure that Buffy and Willow are safe." Dawn started.
"Correction: Joan. She goes by Joan now." Xander told her.
"Alright. Does anyone actually have a useful idea of how to find Joan?" Kennedy started growing impatient, then it hit her. "Wait! I have it! Amy!"
"Amy? The rat?" Giles asked.
"No... Amy, Willow's friend... that tried to hurt Willow after turning her into a man..."
"Oh, I remember that day! Willow as a man. Much fun was had by all. Except for maybe you. And Willow." Anya smiled.
"I'm not sure that Amy would really be willing to help... considering she's not too fond of Willow these days anyway." Xander pointed out.
"Well, isn't she our only hope? What else are we going to do?"

"Whoo! Who says I need the mystical slayer demon energy when I have myself? Slayer power, witchy power... I feel GOOD! I can do anything, for I am JOAN!" Joan flew above the city, then landed in the park close by. She stopped, sniffing the air as if it were somehow familiar to her. She opened her eyes and before her lay a path of pure light. She smiled. "I love locator spells."

"Okay, well think. I mean, what's she going to do? Joan wouldn't want to destroy the world, would she?" Xander asked.
"No. Willow's been on that trip already, and it's against everything that Buffy stands for. She's got to be up to something else." Spike replied.
"Xand, maybe you just misunderstood her laughter. Maybe it was more of 'we, now I have the means to locate the demon and change myselves back to normal' laughter, and not 'I'm gonna kill everyone because I'm crazy laughter'." Dawn suggested.
"Maybe she went to the beach." Andrew told them. "I'd be willing to check."
"She's not at the beach; sit down, little boy." Spike snarled. Andrew sat disappointedly.
"I never get to go to the beach."

"Demon... where are you, demon? Come out, come out, wherever you are." Joan sniffed the air once more. "I can smell a demon! I'm gonna kill my demon!"

"You don't think she'd go after the demon that merged them, do you?" Xander asked. Everyone sat in silence.
"Well, isn't that a good thing? Isn't that all 'YAY JOAN!'? I mean, her getting the demon and bringing it here would..." Anya started.
"But An... if Joan is on a power hungry rampage, she'll probably go kill the demon, and we might never have a way of turning the girls back into themselves." Xander replied.
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing!" Anya exclaimed. "It'll be one less person around this house, and Joan is twice as useful as Buffy or Willow alone, and..."
"But, have you ever noticed that we always use Buffy and Willow in separate places... at separate times?" Giles asked.
"Well... no... I didn't think of that." Everyone stood and began gathering weapons. "So... you're gonna chop her up, then?"
"No, we're..." Xander began.
"You're what? What use are weapons going to be against super-witch, when you can't kill her, and you can't kill the DEMON?" Everyone's weapons dropped to the floor. "A-HA! Anya wins again."
"DEMON!" Kennedy screamed as it crashed through the window.
"I am here to kill Anyanka! A gift from D'Hoffryn!"

"Demon. I can smell you. I can taste you. Just come to me." Joan whispered.
"You CAN'T kill me! You will be TRAPPED like that forever!" the demon screamed.
"Big whoop. You see me wanting to change anytime soon?" Joan asked, nonchalantly. Joan grabbed the demon by the neck and lifted it up into the air. "Say goodnight, Gracie!"
"WAIT!"
"Ooh, grovelling for your life? Neat!" Joan dropped the demon to the ground and waited.
"How do you know that you won't revert to NORMAL if you kill me?" the demon shrugged it's shoulders and smiled.
"I'll just have to believe in my faith and KILL you ANYWAY!" Joan smiled, lifting the demon back into the air.

"ANYA! LOOK OUT!" Xander picked up the axe from the chest and hurled it at the demon assassin. Giles took a sword, swinging toward the demon. It knocked the sword from Giles' hand, forcing him to lift a lamp into the air and begin beating on the demon. Kennedy stood back with Spike and Dawn.
"Spike! Why are you helping?" Kennedy asked annoyed.
"Well, I don't want to get knocked out and go all fangy. That would be bad."
"Kennedy, I think I have an idea. On the count of three, scream as loud as you can..." Dawn started. Kennedy proceeded to release a shrill scream, stopping everyone in their tracks.
"What the hell was that?" the demon assassin asked.
"Dammit, Kennedy! I meant scream for Joan! And on the count of THREE!"
"Okay!" Kennedy replied.
"One... two..."
"THREE already, bleeding Hell, you little..." Spike started. Both Dawn and Kennedy started screaming in unison.
"JOAN! HELP! JOAN!" they yelled.

"I could snap your neck like a toothpick. It would be super fun. don'cha think?" Joan started. Suddenly she heard the screams of both Dawn and Kennedy.
"What's that? Your friends are in trouble? I guess you'll have to leave me here and let me live!" the demon started.
"Or I could just kill you here!" Joan exclaimed.
"EEK!" the demon shrieked.
"Or... I could go and help my friends."
"Ah..." the demon let out a short sigh of relief.
"But I could also bring you with me and kill you later!" Joan exclaimed happily.

"Beat him! Beat him! Come on, Giles! Put some muscle into it! Work that lamp!" Anya shouted.
"Do you want to fight this, Anya?" Giles screamed.
"No."
Joan burst through the door of the house, entering with magic fireworks blazing all around. Joan grabbed the assassin using the magic and quickly snapped its neck.
"Now for you." Joan turned to the demon, preparing to kill it quickly.
"Joan! Wait! What about the twin boys who're trapped in the same body?"
"What about them?"
"They... need the demon in order to make them normal again." Dawn told her. Joan shrugged and threw the demon into the middle of the living room.
"Talk. Can you turn those boys back to normal?" Joan asked. The demon quickly began nodding.
"Yes, but... but I will need to be there... with the boys. I have to have contact in order to do it correctly... or at all." The demon stuttered.
"Fantastic. Dawn, did you get the name of the boys' father?" Joan asked. Dawn nodded, heading over to the computer.
"I have it all right here. It can be printed off in a second. His name, phone number, address, and I even managed his picture." Dawn said happily.
"Good. Me and Demoney over here will just pop right on over there and..." Joan started, taking the printed paper.
"You're not going to kill me later... are you?" the demon asked. Joan smiled. In a flash, both Joan and the demon were gone, leaving the scoobies to deal with the new repairs that were in order.

"Here we are." Joan smiled as she dragged the demon up to the house. She knocked on the door, and a man answered. "Hello. You're the father of the two boys in one body, correct?" The man looked at the demon.
"Agnes. What have you done?" he asked. She shrugged. "She does this all the time. Merging people, unmerging people. She's like a drug addict."
"Agnes?"
"Yes, my NAME is AGNES!" she snarled.
"Pretty weak name for some ultra-baddie, if you ask me..." Joan began.
"Well I..." Agnes started.
"Wait... she's done this before?" Joan asked.
"Yeah." the man replied.
"And you knew that she was a demon?"
"Yeah."
"Well why didn't you do something about it?" Joan screamed.
"What did you want him to do about it?" Agnes quipped.
"Quiet, Agnes."

"Do you think we're going to get our girls back, or are we heading toward a Joan the Vampire Slayer deal?" Xander asked. Everyone stared at each other.

Joan threw Agnes into the living room.
"Alright, Agnes. Let's make two boys out of one boy." Joan watched as Agnes began.
A bright glowing light engulfed the room, and then the boy was divided in two, bringing both twins back to their normal states.
"BOYS!" their father exclaimed. They hugged.
"So, the boys are both alright?" Joan asked. Both boys started nodding.
"You should know, girl... I would never hurt my sons." Agnes began.
"Then why the HELL did you merge them together?"
"As a bargaining chip!" Agnes replied.
"So... you won't HURT them, but you're willing to gamble with them?" Joan started, not giving Agnes time to answer. "As long as you don't trade them for kittens..."
"Kittens?"
"Now, for what you've done... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to..." Joan began. Agnes placed her arms on both of Joan's arms and seperated her back into Willow and Buffy.
"Hey!" Buffy exclaimed. "Do you mind if I kill her?"
"A little." The father replied. Agnes high-tailed her way out of the home.
"Damn. We almost had her." Willow started. She turned and shock struck her face.
Willow and Buffy were separate; but Willow and Buffy were in each other's bodies!
"Is... everything alright, girls?" he asked. Willow and Buffy simply nodded for a moment, eyes wide open.

"What are we going to do if she... they... whatever. What if Joan doesn't come back?" Anya asked.
"You mean what if Willow and Buffy come back INSTEAD of Joan, or what if Joan runs out of town and plots to destroy the Earth?" Xander asked.
"...either, I guess..."

"What do you MEAN, you're 'in each other's bodies'?" he asked.
"Well... she's in MY body, and I'M in HERS!" Buffy (as Willow) replied.
"Is there any chance that she might come back?" Willow (as Buffy) asked.
"Well... I..."
"Waitaminute. You KNEW that she was a demon?" Buffy asked quickly. The father nodded. "Did you know before you had children with her?" he nodded again. "So... do your boys have her powers aswell?"
"...not that I'm aware, but it's entirely possible."
"Buffy, even if they did have their mother's powers, there's very little chance that they would know how to use it." Willow told her. "I think our best chance is to go back home and use a locator spell."
"...fine."

"Where are they? I'm really getting worried now!" Dawn paced around the room.
"You know that they'll both be alright." Andrew comforted her. Spike stood abruptly.
"I think I hear them..." he spoke as the door opened and both girls wandered in.
"BUFFY! WILLOW!" Xander, Dawn, Anya and Kennedy exclaimed in unison as the two girls became trapped in a group hug.
"Stoppit! We've got work to do!" Buffy exclaimed. Kennedy blocked her path, grabbed her and kissed her.
"HEY! Get offa her, hussy!" Willow shrieked as she saw this happening.
"Excuse me?" Kennedy asked after finishing. Buffy gave a disturbed half-smile.
"I'm Buffy. Willow's in MY body."
"...oh. Sorry."

"So... let me get this straight..." Xander began.
"ENOUGH, Xander! We've been explaining this for an hour! Agnes could've hopped a bus and be in Cleaveland by now!" Buffy whined. "All we have to do is perform a locator spell and find her." Everyone nodded as Willow sat in the centre of the room. Xander leaned over to Dawn.
"It's kinda strange seeing your sister's body working the mumbo-jumbo..." he started. Willow recited the spell and before her floated a glowing orb of energy.
"Lead us to our demon." she spoke softly as they followed it out the door.

"We've been walking forever!" Andrew whined.
"Then go home, little boy." Spike replied.
"Both of you, stop bickering!" Giles exclaimed. "I cannot stand listening to you two anymore!"
"All THREE of you should shut up." Buffy screamed. She stopped, raising her arms to her sides in order to get the others to stop aswell. "Over there! Is that..."
"Agnes!" Willow smiled. "Let's go!" Willow, Buffy and Spike rushed off in order to attack the demon.
"Remember, Spike! You can't touch her or you'll get body snatched!" Buffy reminded, causing Spike to stop dead in his tracks and take out a smoke.
Buffy and Willow charged toward Agnes, not even getting her attention. Willow stood back and performed a spell to freeze Agnes in her tracks, while Buffy leapt forward for the attack.
Buffy landed on Agnes's shoulders, but was thrown way back, knocking Spike to the ground. Agnes rushed Willow, before she completed the spell.
"Buffy! Help!" Willow screamed as her arm flew up under Agnes's jaw, sending her head back. Willow watched Agnes fall to the ground unconscious. "Whoa! Did you see that? Looks like slayer strength comes with the body!" Buffy stood, brushing herself off.
"That's not fair! GILES! That's not FAIR! She gets HER magic and MY strength... what do I get?"
"You get a lesbian life-partner." Kennedy smiled.
"HEY!" both Buffy and Willow screamed in unison. Buffy stepped toward Willow, examining Agnes closely.
"Is everything alright?" Giles asked.
"Well... yeah. Except no. Willow... I think Agnes is dead."
"What?" Willow exclaiemd in surprise. "Does this mean..."
"That we can't switch back into our actual bodies."
"Pff. Good one, Willow." Andrew rolled his eyes.
