Monday night Buffy got a call from 'Giles'. He glanced back
at 'Jenny' dressed in a very sexy black negligee reading a
book on ancient Sumerian magic - she was so sexy!
The 'Giles' took a deep breath.
Jenny had to admit that the real Giles was right
they still had to pretend to be each other. Telling the truth
would only do harm, not good. The Watcher's Council
would probably try to have both of them killed and also
they had to keep a low profile to be able to sneak up on Jenny's
gypsy tribe; and also there was no sense in upsetting Buffy.
God knew he poor chosen one had enough on her plate as the slayer!
"Buffy," 'Giles' said hesitantly. But didn't get a chance to
say anymore.
"Hi Giles, when are you coming back? It's been weird not
having a watcher - though Willow's been a great help. Also
I have some fabulous news! Guess what! Willow and
Xander are going steady and he loves her! Finally loves her
and the poor girl has been eating her heart out since the 2nd
grade. Finally it dawns on him what he was missing. Also,
guess what! You'll never guess so I'll tell you. Willow is
being paid to teach Miss C's classes until she gets back. She
is so proud to be chosen. It's helped her ego tremendously.
She's more confident than I've ever seen her. Cordy is still a
bitch, but I don't have to tell you that! So what's going on,
you and Miss C hook up yet?"
"I-' Started Jenny but was soon cut off. Slayers were faster
than anyone - even with talking.
"I've killed 36 vamps and four demons since you've gone.
And guess what. This was Will's idea. I called the council
and threaten them and they're playing me 2,000 a month for
expenses. They weren't very happy about it though! Pretty
cheap aren't they!"
"BUFFY LISTEN!" Jenny shouted.
"You didn't have to shout!" she said hurt.
"Yes, I did! Buffy I have some good news and some not so
good news. First I know about the money. The watcher's
council fired me. They said I was not a good watcher
otherwise you wouldn't have these crazy ideas and
demands. They're sending someone else. He's very young,
not much up on magic but they feel he will do a better job
of disciplining you than I have."
"I'll stake him!" Buffy said. "You were bad enough."
Jenny had to laugh and so did Giles who had been
surreptitiously listening in.
"I don't envy him. I'm sorry to be leaving you, but I have
some good news as well. Jenny (it was still strange to think
of Giles as herself!) and I are getting married."
"Like Cool!"
"Yes, she's already sent her resignation in and Snyder hit
the roof! " They had to of course,. Not only did they need
to search for the Gypsy tribe, but Giles couldn't do the
computer job without divine intervention! Rupert didn't
even know how to turn one on! Jenny had to grin thinking
of Giles trying to teach computers. "He fired me!( That
slime ball, he makes vamps look warm and fussy! Buffy
interrupted) He doesn't believe in kids reading anyway. But
some sort of tax money will be lost if he doesn't have a
computer teacher. Tell Willow to hold out for twice
the money he is paying her now!"
"OK! He might die of a stroke!" Buffy said hopefully. "I'm
really going to miss you horribly though." She cried a little,
" But I'm happy you and Miss C finally made the connection!"
The three talked another hour and 'Jenny'
cried and said she wanted Buffy to be her maid of honor!
Buffy was flattered and delighted. There was a ticket
waiting in her name at the airport! She didn't even have
time to tell the others as she agreed to pack and pick up all
their possessions, but she would be flying back the same
day so her news could wait.
"Would you like me to bring Xander - he could be best man?" aked Buffy slyly. She was pleased when she got a good laugh.
They met Buffy at the airport. She cried and hugged
Jenny and Giles, both winced from the slayer strength.
"Sorry! Too much enthusiasm! Miss Calendar you look so
happy and beautiful I am greener than any yard in
California! Being a woman in love looks good on you!"
The apparent Jenny laughed. She was so happy. They went
to a simple chapel and Buffy helped Jenny change into a
lovely dress. They had a nice one for her as well. Giles had
asked the hotel manager to be the best man. Jenny made a
beautiful and happy bride!
"We needed to get married in a hurry," they said afterwards
at dinner.
"Oh?" said Buffy raising her eyebrows suggestively. She
was surprised to see Jenny blush but not Giles!
"Not what you think, Buffy!" said Giles in his English
accent and smiling.
"We both returning to Europe in a day or two. Thanks for
bringing our luggage!"
"Not a problem. " Buffy grinned to remember the
'strong guys' eyes popping as she carried both Giles and
Miss C's stuff to check it in! Two men had to lift Giles's
trunk and she had one handed it on to the belt!
Buffy was a little envious. Miss Calendar was obvious so
happy being married. It was a shame things couldn't have
such a happy ending for her as a slayer!
When she got back Buffy could hardly wait to tell the
other's the news but thought she better do it in person.
So she called Willow and told her to tell Xander to meet
them in library tomorrow morning before school she had
news of Giles.
"What news?" asked 'Willow' she was so excited.
"You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning" teased Buffy.
Cordy was beaming as she hung up. She would get her
wonderful life and beautiful body back at long last.
It was about time she got out of this pathetic, nerdy body
and life!Giles had to be back! She pushed aisde the horrible
thought that she would miss Xander Harris!
She called Willow. She was out with Eric. Enjoy it while
you can bitch! Cordy thought. But left a message.
Buffy and Xander were a little surprised when Cordelia
walked in to join their little group.
When Buffy told them the news Xander laughed. "I knew
those two were up to no good! So they did the blood test
thing and tied the knot!"
Buffy hit Xander and she was glad to see Willow do it too.
Got to keep the men under control! Then Willow spoke.
"But when are they coming back?" Asked the apparent
Willow anxiously.
'Cordelia' looking extremely beautiful leaned forward as
well. She wanted to hear this!
"They're not! Giles has been fired twice - one was not
enough for the Universe I guess. First by Snyder for cutting
class ( Xander roared with laughter) and then by the
watcher's council for not keeping me under enough control!
Sorry, Willow but me getting that money seemed to be the
last straw, but don't feel bad. Giles said not to worry about
it, because he was going to refuse a dangerous test they
wanted him to do to take away my powers and lock me in a
house with a dangerous vampire and see if I would survive.
He knew it would cost him his watcher's post. When the
new guy tries it I'm going to tie him into knots. "
"Does he know magic like Giles?" asked 'Willow'
anxiously.
Buffy laughed scornfully. "HIM? I've talked to the jerk on
the phone; he doesn't believe in it. Only in following rules! "
"Will he have a shock when he meets you, Buffy!" laughed
Xander with his arm around Willow who was looking
horrified.
"Willow, don't be sad! They're so happy. Oh, Miss C told
me to tell you to get double what they're playing you now!
Snyder will have to pay it!"
While Buffy and Xander attention was elsewhere 'Cordelia Chase'
leaned over an whispered to a sniffling 'Willow Resenberg.'
"I'll meet you after school in the library."
She nodded, ready to cry. Maybe Willow would have some idea on how
they could get their real bodies back! The only good news was
how desperate Snyder would be for a computer teacher!
Cordy and Willow met. Willow was waiting sitting
gracefully and in Cordelia's best school outfit. Her long
legs were beautiful in a mini skirt and beautiful fashion
boots. Her hair and make-up were perfect. She looked so
goddess like.
Cordelia felt resentful. She knew she looked like something
the cat turned her nose up at. She was ungroomed and
unkempt she was so worried that she actually neglected her
appearance! That was so not like her!
Earlier she had a drag out fight with Snyder but
finally got him up to pay her twice as as much! She
didn't know how much longer she would be here in this
dreadful body and situation and so she wanted the money,
besides fair is fair! If she or later Willow was teaching the
class they should be paid accordingly!
"What are we going to do? Where are we going to find a
wizard or something to switch us back?"
Willow smiled pityingly at Cordy. The poor plain little nerd
was so clueless.
"We're not. I wouldn't go back to that pathetic body and
that horrible life for anything!"
"You bitch! "
Willow shrugged her beautiful shoulders. "I don't blame
you. I expected this reaction, but that's the way it's going to
be. If you try and tell Buffy or anyone I will deny it.
Nobody will believe you. We've been impersonating each
other too well. They will just think 'Willow' has lost it!"
"And I trained you! You monster."
"I know you did. Thank you very much! Look, Willow,"
"Don't call me that!" She yelled crying.
"Why not? It's YOUR name now and forever. There's only the remotest
chance we could find anyone to switch us back anyway.
We don't know how it was done or by whom. Earlier when I
was hoping to swap back I did some research. At the very least
we did need to know that!"
"You're a evil bitch!" she was snobbing her heart out. She
had lost her body and her life. She was Willow Rosenberg forever!
The new Cordelia Chase shrugged and smiled with vast
superiority at the slight and charmless girl before her. She
stood and towered over Willow.
"If you were in this bod - would you switch with
me if I was still Willow!"
"Of course not!"
"Well then you shouldn't be surprised that I feel the same
way! I love my body, my life. It is so great to be so
beautiful, so important, so rich, so popular, and so sexy. I
love sex in my body!"
" But it's MY body!"
"No, it's MY body now, Willow. " The new Corelia Chase smiled.
"You'll do OK. I know you really like Xander! Xander Harris of
all people!" She laughed amused at the irony.
"What's wrong with Xander?" the new Willow Rosenberg asked hotly.
"Don't get me started. He's kinda of cute, but so hopeless
socially! " The lovely Cordelia Chase glanced gracefully at
her Rolex.
"Time to go. I'm meeting my friends at the Bronze. I'll see
you tomorrow in school. But please don't talk to me in public!
I don't associate with losers."
"I want my body back! I want my life back!"
The new Willow said this three times. She was weeping hopelessly, her red head buried in her hands.
The new Cordelia laid a patronizing and somewhat
sympathetic hand on her slight shoulder.
"I don't blame you! I'm so beautiful! So sexy! So popular! So charming!
But get over it. Have a good cry and move on. Its really
all you can do. Ta,ta Willow."
With burning eyes Willow watched Cordelia Chase, perhaps the most beautiful girl in the state walking gracefully away. Not looking back.
And she sighed. Paradise lost.
That night 'Willow'was in her room still in shock. Evil
'Cordelia' was going to keep her former body and life! What an
evil bitch. To add to her horror was the realization, which
she couldn't hide - she, the late, great Cordelia Chase, was
actually in love with Xander Harris! Xander Harris! Earlier
she hoped it was just a temporary malaise to be banished
when she got out of this poor excuse for a body! But she
wasn't going to get out. She was the pathetic Willow
Rosenberg forever. Well maybe not pathetic. She had a
cute boyfriend. She was teaching class while still in High
School. She had a great warm family life.
Her parents were so proud of her and loved her
and gave lots of attention! She was number one in
her class rankings. She had a great
best friend in Buffy. Which is more than the horrible
Cordelia did! The bitch was so shallow, so self absorbed
and selfish, no wonder no one realy liked her.
"And I love Xander Harris! I have to
admit it. I would do anything for him. Maybe it's my
body doing this horrible thing to me!" She thought,
but it made no difference. She was in love.
Willow Rosenberg reached for the phone and asked Xander to come over in her sweet, shy voice. He was so happy to do so. She had a vision of herself all in white on her dad's arm marrying Xander. She sighed. I hope my folks don't make a fuss about him not being Jewish!
Epilog
Amy sat back with a smile. Everything went very well!
Nobody guessed I did it! I am so glad my only friend
Willow loves being Cordelia and the horrible bitch has to
live Willow's life! I had planned to swap them back until
Cordelia even in Willow's body was such a bitch to me!
She needs a life long lesson. And she's going to get it! My
mother was a witch and so I am a witch. Nobody thought of
it. I am my mother's daughter - blood relations! She could
switch bodies. I can switch bodies. Even Giles who knew
about my mom doing it didn't make the connection.
Witchcraft is in my blood. Blood is the key to open the
door to magic, to life and death.
Buffy and vampires could tell Giles, and the others. Blood
tells. It is the key to life and death! - "Everything is in the
blood", said Amy, to the fire in which she burned the blood
she had taken secretly and with magic from the four of
them and without which they could never return to their
birth bodies! "After all blood is the life! "
She smiled to see the fire burn ever brighter and smiled like
a satisfied cat.
