Brooklyn waited patiently sitting on the edge of the fountain until Giles reemerged from his home in jogging clothes.

"Buffy told me you were excellent with a sword," she began as they started at a light jogging pace, "Will you teach me?"

Giles looked over at her, "Learning to be good with a sword can take a long time and you'd have to spend many afternoons with me in the library to become skilled," he explained, keeping tight control of his breathing.

Brooklyn nodded, "I would be just fine with that. I like spending time with you so that's an added bonus. When can we start?" she asked, with a bright smile having a harder time talking and jogging.

"I suppose we could start after school tomorrow. I'll get Buffy to join us so I'm not your punching bag again," he admitted with a smirk.

Brooklyn smiled even though she was a little disappointed they wouldn't be alone.

The continued jogging around the block before parting ways. "See you tomorrow," she waved breifly as she jogged up the stairs.

The next morning, Buffy came in to class moments after Brooklyn had sat down, "We have a situation and we need to go to the library."

Brooklyn scrunched her face, questioningly, "We're skipping class?"

Buffy nodded grabbing her arm so they could get out before the teacher arrived.

They stumbled into the library moments later to find Willow, Xander, Oz and Faith already at the table. "What is it Buffy?" Giles asked as he came out of his office to see the whole Scooby gang there.

Buffy cleared her throat and began, "It wasn't a werewolf that attacked that student. It's some kind of monster that attacks both day and night and doesn't only change duing the full moon."

"How do you know?" Willow asked, her face breaking into a smile at the news.

"My counselor was devoured the exact same way in his office," Buffy responded.

"Do monster's usually come to the school?" Brooklyn asked.

Giles shook his head, pulling his glasses off of his face, "No, we may have a strange situation where a student here has found some way to create a Jekyll and Hyde type situation. Buffy, you and Faith go scour the school and see if you can find anything strange. Willow, look into the student database if you can and see if anyone has anything in their history that would indicate this type of behavior."

Everyone nodded and began to filter out of the library, Brooklyn stayed behind, feeling fearful for the first time that something could attack her in the daylight too, "Giles?" she said weakly.

"Yes, Brooklyn?" Giles replied, his face concerned as he saw the pale color her face had taken on.

"I may not get a chance at this later since there's a monster on campus," she announced as she walked up to him and stood on her tip toes, placing her lips gently against his. She felt Giles begin to pull away before his lips gave into hers. Brooklyn let the kiss linger for a moment longer before she pulled away and left the library without another word.
