"I've got it! I've got it!"

"Xander! Watch out for that--"

thunk

"Gravestone.... That must have hurt."

"Owwwwww....."

"Honk!"

"Quick it's getting away!"

"SHE'S getting away."

"Right, sorry."

"Honk!"

"Come here, bird!"

"Xander, whatever you do, don't let
it--her--whatever--bite you!"

"Honk!"

chomp

"Owwwwwwww. Why do I always end up getting hurt on
these things?"

"Maybe she still harbors a grudge against you."

"That's not funny, Buff."

"Xander, are you quite all right?"

"Yeah, Giles, no worries. I think I've calmed her
down a bit. Come here, Cordy...."

"Honk!"

chomp

"God— ow! Cut it out! She actually broke the skin on
that one...."

"Oh dear,"

"Giles what's the matter?"

"Grab Xander. Now."

"What?"

"No questions, just do it!"

"Giles, what honk?"

"Oh no,"

"Honk!"

"Cordy, you little honk! You honk honk!"

"Giles, what's going on? What's happening?"

"....Were-goose...."

"Honk?!"

"Xander, calm down!"

"Honk!"

"Let go of Cordy's neck!"

"Honk, honk, HONK!"

"Xander, cut it out already! You're going to hurt
her!"

"HONK!!!!!"

"Gurgle...."

"Some how Willow, I don't think he cares."

"What are we going to do? Now we have to find TWO
geese!"

"Actually, that's the main difference between a
were-goose and a were-wolf. The transformation of a
were-goose is much more gradual. I'm actually rather
surprised by how quickly it happened in Cordelia's
case. Xander will most likely remain in human form
for at least another hour, before reverting totally to
goose. It makes sense, if you think about it. After
all, the were-goose form, being much more similar to
goose than human, is actually much more of a
transformation than takes place for a were-wolf--"

"Honk."

"What was that?"

"I think he says 'Shut up.'"

"Honk."

"Your welcome."

"Honk?"

"He wants to know how we reverse it."

"That's amazing Willow. Has your wicca improved
enough to allow you to communicate with-- "

"No, Giles. I just know Xander that well."

"Oh. Yes. Of course. Actually, er, Xander, you're
in luck. Unlike the curse that invokes the were-wolf,
there is a way to remove the were-goose geis.
Unfortunately, we can, er...."

"Honk?"

"We can only perform it on one of you tonight. The
other will have to remain a goose until tomorrow."

sigh

"Honk."

"What?"

"I think he's telling you to do Cordelia first."

"I see. Xander, are you quite certain--"

"Honk."

"Right then, back to the library."

"He, he he, giggle!"

"Honk?!"

"You're, he he, starting to, um, he, look a bit....
giggle.... feathery, there, Xander."

"Honk."

"Right. Shutting up."

"Giggle....."

The End
