10:00 am
After they finished training, Faith and Buffy emerged from the training room.
"Hey Giles, where'd Ben go," Buffy asked.
"He went spy on Glory to see how close she is to performing the spell."
Anya enters the shop.
"It's about time you slayers left the back room."
Anya grabs a backpack from behind the counter, goes in the back room, and locks the door behind her.
"That was odd," Oz stated.
"Very," Buffy said.
Buffy goes to the back door and tries to open it.
"She locked the door."
Buffy pounds on the door. "Anya, what are you doing?"
Inside the training room, Anya draws a symbol on the floor and is chanting something in Latin.
Buffy stops pounding and is listening. Oh. My. God.
"Buffy," Faith said. "Something wrong?"
"She's trying to get her powers back!"
Buffy begins to break down the door. Eventually she manages to knock the door down. She races to Anya, but seconds before she reaches her; Anya disappears in a flash.
D'Hoffran's Lair…
"Anyanka. I thought I told you never to come back."
Anya sucker punches D'Hoffran in the stomach.
"You're going to give me my power source back now, or I kill you," she said pulling out a dagger.
"You wouldn't."
"Try me."
Seeing the anger and frustration in her eyes, he decides to conceed.
"All right Anyanka. I will. But your first order of business is to deal with that ex-boyfriend of yours. Get rid of him."
"Fine."
Back at the magic shop…
"She's going to get her powers back. She'll hurt Xander. Faith stay here while I get Xander," Buffy said.
"Are you going to tell him you love him," she said sing-songly.
"Shut up."
After Buffy left Giles looked confused. "Did I miss something?"
"Buffy has feelings for Xander," Oz said.
"Oh."
Xander's Apartment
10:15 am
"Xander," Buffy called out as she knocked. "Xander!"
Buffy listens quietly for any noise, but she hears nothing, not even Xander snoring. Buffy used the extra key that Xander had given her.
"Xander!" She looks in his room, but doesn't see him. She looks in the bathroom and doesn't see him. She decides to call Giles.
"Giles? It's Buffy. Is Xander there?"
("No Buffy, I thought you were getting him?")
"I was, but he's not here."
(Maybe he went to get Angel.)
"All right. I'll try there. Bye."
Angel's Mansion…
Angel was practicing his Ti Chi when Buffy bursts through his door.
"Hey Buffy. You know people knock nowadays."
"Is Xander here?"
"No, after he dropped me off he said he was going home for a few hours sleep. Why? Is something wrong?"
"He wasn't there," Buffy said moving to the couch.
Angel sits next to her and puts his arm around her shoulder. "It's okay Buffy. Maybe he went get something to eat, or maybe you just missed him."
"Maybe," Buffy said.
"Hey," Angel said. "He'll be okay. Xander may not look it, but he's tougher than you think."
Buffy smiles. "Thanks," she said. She pulls him into a hug. He kisses her on her forehead.
"Come on let's get to the Magic shop," Angel said. "He's probably waiting for us."
Glory's apartment
11:00 am
Xander is tied up to a chair a few feet away from Dawn. He is still unconscious.
"Xander," Dawn said softly. "Please wake up."
Xander mumbles something. "Xander!" Dawn said quietly.
He slowly comes to and sees Dawn.
"Dawn! Are you okay? And why am I tied up to a chair," Xander asked.
"Glory."
"What does that bitch need me for?"
Glory puts her hands on his shoulders. "A sacrifice was needed. Figured I'd use the Slayer's best friend. Now you can kick and scream all you want, but we need to be going."
Glory punches Xander out again.
"Why did you do that," Dawn screamed.
"I hate it when the sacrifices cause trouble, plus I need to transport him. We're going on a field trip darling. Ben! Get in here!"
Ben slowly walks into the room.
"I need you to do me a favor brother, take the boy here and put him in the van with Dreg here while I untie the slayers sister."
Ben takes Xander and follows Dreg.
"Lets go Key. In an hour, I'll be home, and the world will be turned into Hell."

11:15 am
Giles is opening the package the Watcher's Council sent and pulls out the sword.
"Nice sword," Oz said.
"The Sword of the White Knight, only the chosen one and her white knight can use this and kill a demigod." Giles explained.
"Xander should be here by now. Where is he?"
At that moment Ben comes rushes into the store.
"Problem," he said. "Big problem."
"What's the matter," Riley asked.
"Glory, she's about to perform the spell."
"Do you know where," Faith asked.
"On the Hellmouth, but that's not the worst of it," he said looking at Buffy. "She has your friend Xander. She's going to sacrifice him."
"When," she asked.
"Noon."
Buffy looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "That gives us about forty-five minutes to save the world. Here's the plan…"
