Authors note: I wanted to make some changes to this chapter and that's why
it wasn't up yesterday if anyone was wondering. Was anyone wondering? It
would be nice if someone cared.
Xander strolled though the park, hand in hand with Anya. They kissed affectionately. It was nice and peaceful with it being just them. The Bronze was fun but sometimes it was nice when it was just the two of them.
"Xander, I want you to be with me for eternity." They stopped walking and Xander starred at her.
"What? Don't you think…" he paused, he was clueless about what his answer should be "…well it's a bit…" argggghhhhh! "…Are you feeling alright?"
"I've never felt better and why should I feel ill, it's a bit hard for someone like me."
"Huh?" Xander had no clue, whatsoever about what Anya was going on about.
"You know what I talking about or do you need another clue?" Anya grabbed Xander and brought him closer for a snog. Something changed while they kissed; it was as if Anya had changed. Xander pulled away.
"Anya." He looked at her, but instead he saw the features of stranger. "Who are you?" The girl morphed her face again this time into a vampires' face.
"I don't know why you kept calling me Anya, you should of known it wasn't her if you were really meant to be together."
"I see someone who looks like her, I usually assume its her, who are you?" His girlfriend had short wavy blond hair, well the hair was still short but this girl was a brunette.
She brought him close again and whispered into his ear "Anna." Anna began to nibble his ear.
"Ewww…stop that." This time he couldn't pull away from her. Anna pushed him away though, hard onto the ground and it hurt a lot as the pain shot up his spine. She stood right above him.
"I'm giving you a once in a life time opportunity." The vampire sat down on the ground with him and grabbed him by the collar, forcing his neck to tilt to the side.
"I not going to take you up on your offer." He told her with the most confident voice he could manage in this situation. He knew his plea would change nothing, so he decided to say something a bit more useful. "Help!"
"Sorry there's no backing out now." Her evil smile made him feel nervous and in a blink of an eye the fangs were on the verge of breaking the skin.
Bang! Anna fell away from the relieved Xander, he turned around expecting to see Buffy, but yet again his eyes fell upon a stranger. The girl stood there posed in a similar fighting stance to Buffy. She held a stake in one hand and the other was a clenched fist.
"Another slayer?" Xander couldn't believe his eyes. He starred up at this girl who had just saved his life. She wasn't as tall as Anna as she stood up to fight her opponent. The girl had blond hair, which was mainly straight but it curled at the bottom. She didn't have a strong muscular body structure so he had assumed that she might have slayer strength.
"Piss off would ya? I'm busy here!" shouted Anna.
"Not too busy for another fight I hope?" They obviously knew each other and he could tell straight away that they were just the best of buds.
"Duh, of course I am, have you seen this guy?" She pointed at him, and Xander in a strange way felt complimented. He just wished that he had heard it under the current circumstances.
The new slayer loosened her tight fist and put it in her pocket from it a big bottle of holy water was produced. She twisted the lid and was ready to open it and throw it at the vampire.
"Shit." Said Anna and ran away as she had never been a fan of holy water. The girl was about to chase after Anna when she heard.
"Shit." It was another vampire; Naomi I presume and she ran in another direction. The girl stood there for a second considering which vampire to chase after.
"Shit." Said the pissed off girl who came towards Xander and kissed him. It was a split second decision to go after Naomi, but the cute brown eyed and dark haired lad interrupted her.
"Shit that was good, what was that for?" Xander was confused
"You were just staring I thought something was wrong with you. Shit they're getting away." The girl ran off after Naomi. Xander hadn't realised that he had just been starring as if he was in a trance, he also hoped he hadn't been drooling. He wiped his lip to make sure and found that he had been lucky.
"Shit." Said Anya, as she looked very hurt at Xander. She had caught him kissing then staring at the girl. That was never good news for a boyfriend.
"Shit." Said Xander again. Buffy said shit as well, then a few minutes later when Willow arrived she said,
"Shit."
"Why did you say it, you've just arrived?" asked Buffy.
"I didn't want to left out." Willow replied. "Xander are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess, but Anya I didn't realise it wasn't you." It was time for the petty excuses.
"Why not and you were kissing her like you kiss me." Anya looked even more hurt. "What have you got to say for yourself?"
"Monkey see, monkey do." It was the first thing that had come to his head; maybe it wasn't the best thing to say. "You can't blame me for that slayer girl kissing me either, she only did it, because she thought I was in some sort of trance."
"You kissed another girl, who didn't look anything like me." Anya went off in a mood "Don't follow me I need time to think about if your getting it anymore!" Xander knew he was best to give her some time; it was no use talking to her when she was like that.
"What slayer girl?" Buffy was very curious.
"She saved me, Anna was about to bite me, when she came in from no-where." He would have said he remembered it just like yesterday but it was less then five minutes go.
"Another slayer, Faith isn't dead and last time I checked I'm not dead either." Buffy was fed up with all these slayers turning up and trying to do her job.
"I can explain." It was Giles who had been lurking in background "That's who I needed to tell you about. Her name is Shannon and she's British like me."
"Born in Britain, English by God given right." It was Shannon. "I couldn't find Naomi she got away again."
"So you're Shannon," Buffy looked at the new face, "look maybe we should go somewhere and talk about this."
"My place isn't too far away, we'll go back there for some tea to warm us up." Said Giles as they began to walk back.
"Does it have to be tea, I didn't it like it then and I don't like it now." Shannon told Giles.
Xander raised an eyebrow "Wow someone from England doesn't like tea, I am truly shocked and my stereotypical views are ruined!"
Shannon just gave him a funny look and turned away. "So what do you drink then?"
"Coke and lots of it!" she replied "You have got some haven't you Giles?"
"No, but I've got some hot chocolate in."
"Mmm… chocolate, why didn't you tell me about this supply?" Buffy was disappointed that there had been a secret supply of chocolate and she hadn't been informed, while she had been stuck drinking tea. They all climbed into Oz's van.
"Hey how we gonna give Oz his van back?" Willow inquired.
Inside of Giles' condo everyone had the newly discovered supply of hot chocolate, except for Giles who was drinking his soothing tea.
"How come you're a slayer?" Xander finally asked the question that everyone was wondering about. There was no point being polite about it or subtle. It was going to come up any way.
"I'm not a slayer, I prefer the term vampire hunter." Slayer sounded so chosen one.
"Yes, you were meant to become a watcher and start studying when we told you about your true destiny."
"I didn't want to be a watcher, when you told me about the chosen one, now that job sounded cool. Kicking some undead butt. Dad didn't mind, so I had parental permission." She never needed parental permission it wasn't as if you filled out a form to kill vampires. Shannon would have done it anyway.
"You know Shannon's dad?" Buffy asked Giles.
"Yes he was one of my friends at Oxford, while I was going through my teenage rebellion period." Ah the memories.
"You said you've fought with Anna before." Xander remembered her say it.
"Ah –ha, she's was my friend and so was Naomi, before they became vampires and I had to stop them."
"You're doing such a good as well." Buffy said sarcastically.
"HEY, that's my job to be a sarcastic." It was Shannon who said it not Xander.
"Trust me, she is the sarcasm queen." Giles informed the gang.
"Thankyou Giles. They only been vampires for a short time, but it didn't take them long to climb up the ranks of the undead chain. Anna always been weird, kinda crazy, but tries hard to get what ever she wants." Shannon looked at Xander who wasn't too happy with that fact. "Naomi knew about the truth and had been practising witchcraft for a few years." That fact would of interested Willow, but she had gone back to the Bronze to her Oz. "I haven't known her a s long as Anna and Lynette though, Anna has known her for years they lived near each other."
"Who's Lynette?" wondered Xander.
"You haven't met Lynette yet, she too is a vampire, probably hasn't come here yet, because there's a car coming from London." Everyone gave her a strange look not understanding the joke "Old joke about crossing the road, I would run across, Anna would walk across the road, when the car was close. Then Lynette would wait for ages till there was no car in sight for miles. It describes our personalities quite well."
"Have you lost all your friends to vampires?" That was Buffys worse nightmare she would hate to see her friends undead. It would be her job to kill them.
"Yes and I'm just so happy about it!" Yet again Shannon received strange looks from everyone "I was being sarcastic, and you say we Brits are uptight." Shannon said in a posh accent.
"I told you she was sarcastic."
"No really, I wouldn't have guessed." Xander joined with the sarcasm.
"Okay can we stop with the sarcasm?"
"Actually Giles I thought we talk this way all day." Shannon continued.
"Shut up."
"Okay. More information on my three friends, you know that's really depressing. I have three friends and they're all undead. Oh well.
"As you may already know Anna and Naomi were the first to be turned and reeked havoc in Prestatyn."
"Where?" asked Xander.
"It's in Wales."
"Oh, where?"
"Xander, I'll give you some advise never say that in front of Anna, she'll kill you. Wait she'll kill you and leave you dead. She's quite the Welsh person; she found unsuspecting Americans on the Internet and gave them a geography lesson. I wonder if she's doing it much now she's here.
"Okay where was I? They decided that they wanted all their friends to be vampires like them, so they found Lynette and turned into a vampire. They also killed everyone who annoyed her. There was this really funny occasion when Anna and Naomi came into school with a rocket launcher in the winter, so it was over cast and already quite dark. Well they were aiming at this teacher in our school who keeps giving out homework and coursework at every opportunity. I was in that day, lucky me, so I was able to stop them.
"One problem though as I got the rocket launcher off them I accidentally pulled the trigger and it was lift off. The rocket it hit co-ordinate dead on target and was blown to smithereens. The funny side was I stopped her from giving out a class more coursework." Shannon laughed.
"Um… isn't that a bad thing to do?" asked Buffy.
"No, would you lot quit with the strange looks, you look worse then Anna, who can't give people evil looks, if you're wondering why I said you lot looked like her."
"She wasn't too bad at giving me an evil look before." Said Xander
"Of course she's good at it with her game face on. Duh!"
"Shannon you do realise that you blew up a teacher and you have no repercussions about it." Giles was worried that they may be having another Faith case.
"Well I never really liked the bitch, I mean she hated me for no reason, other than the fact I did no work and talked though her lessons. I think it was because she was some evil glue sticky kind of demon."
"Oh in that case it changes everything. How did you know?"
"I had gone to school that day to deal with her and I'm not letting those vamps get to do what I've always wanted to do. Oh and it was really had to get all those sticky bits off the floor."
Buffy spoke before Shannon could say something else. "It's getting pretty late and I want to do one more sweep of the town to see if there's any trace of Anna and Naomi. Xander you want me to walk you home."
"Yes I'm not capable of walking on my own."
"Hey you are good at being sarcastic, maybe you could be my sarcastic king. Anyway if Anna is out for you I suggest you don't stay alone at night. Actually I just had a great idea why don't I come stay at your house just to make sure you're okay."
"In my room? My gloomy, dark and lonely basement. Okay that's fine with me." Xander smiled, Buffy knew that maybe Shannon staying at his place wouldn't be great for his male hormones.
"I agree." Giles nodded "Remember they obviously know some kind of transformation spell, so they could be anyone at night."
Naomi and Anna walked into Spikes' chamber and slammed the door behind them. They stomped around the crypt to show that they were mad.
"I can't believe she's here already, what is she stalker girl or something. I'm totally pissed off with her, I say we kill her tomorrow." Several plans were already forming in Naomi's mind.
"Naomi, you're not thinking with your brain again, she may not be the slayer, but she knows us very well. Both our strengths and weaknesses. I have an idea, but we gonna need another set of hands."
"Will mine do?" A girl stood at Spike door, she was tall with long, twisting brown hair. She wore a long denim skirt, a plain black sleeveless top and a laced black poncho.
"Lynette here already? I thought it would be about another week." Naomi smirked.
"Boat got here faster than I thought, hey, just because I'm not psycho enough to take my chances on a plane." She walked into the dusty crypt.
"FYI, I planned out those flights perfectly, leaving just after sunset and arriving just before sunrise, with a enough time to find shelter. Then I scrapped that plan and stole a private jet and a captain. Ha! You had to leave earlier as well if I remember correctly."
"Well I got a chance to travel to LA and I saw the most gorgeous man ever. The problem is he's that vampire with a soul and that junk. I can't think of his name, damn it's gonna bug me for at least a week."
"Oh that's just great it's gonna annoy me as well." Naomi tossed her arms in the air, then brought them back down put them on her hips and smiled "Spike you're back, the sun will be up soon, I was getting worried."
Spike walked into his home, his eyes were fixed upon the third female who was new to him. She stared back and a smile appeared on her face.
"Hello Spike, you must be the one Dru was talking about."
"And you are?" Another stranger that Drusilla had been kind enough to give his details to.
"This is our friend Lynette, she had to be annoying and come by boat to Sunnydale." Explained Anna.
"Oh and how come you weren't mentioned before?"
"You didn't ask us before if there was anymore of us." Anna explained once again.
"Is she possible of answering her own questions?"
"Is she, is she really?" Anna knew that would annoy the others.
"She is capable of talking, if Anna gives her a chance." Lynette finally spoke to Spike for the first time. She then got in touch with her childish side and pulled a tongue at Anna.
"Somehow I thought you'd be slightly different, but that's good, you're cuter than I thought you would be and I love the accent."
"Are you flirting with me?" asked Spike, he liked how he had three females all flirting with him. Made him feel all manly.
"Yes Lynette, are you flirting with Spike?" Naomi raised her eyebrow.
"Whatever gave you that idea I was just talking to Spike here, I was complimenting him, is there anything wrong with that?" Lynette winked at Spike but turned her head so that Naomi wouldn't see it and complain more. Spike shifted the shape of his smile into a slight smirk.
"So this is your pad?" Shannon tried not to giggle, "Nice disco ball though."
"Hey!" Xander smiled "Where do you want to sleep?"
"I'm bed, you're couch, unless you want to come on the bed with me?" she said whilst sitting on the bed running her hand along the sheet.
"Urrr…no, not like I wouldn't, it's just I shouldn't, can't even. You shouldn't feel insulted you're pretty, but wait let me re-think though my bumbling." Shannon could see that Xanders cheeks were blushing slightly.
"So you think I'm pretty?" Shannon smiled, twirled her hair and bit her lip. She was so going to milk for compliments.
"Well yeah you are, but I'm going through a kinda rough patch with my girlfriend Anya and now you're here." When Xander was close enough to her, she grabbed him by his shirt collar and pulled him on to the bed.
"When I first saw you I thought you were cute." Shannon went down onto the bed with him and began to nibble his ear.
"You aren't by any chance under some sort of love spell?"
"No, I just think you're cute, do you have a leather jacket by any chance?" Looking at his wardrobe.
"Why?"
"I have a theory that cute guys look very sexy in leather jacket."
"Kinky." Shannon began to undo Xanders belt.
"You're a very strange person Shannon, you know that."
"Yes, does it bother you?"
"No, kinky." Shannon and Xander began to snog; everything around him seemed to fade.
"Shannon." Xander realised that his lips were against the pillow and there was a strange taste in his mouth. He was on the couch and Shannon was on the bed giving him strange looks for a change.
"What? Will you stop saying my name!" She didn't sound too happy with him.
"Huh?" Xander couldn't believe what he had been doing and he brain was too busy from recovering from waking up to process all the information.
"It's 5 o'clock in the morning Xander."
"5 o'clock, I'll never be able to get back…" Xander fell asleep again before his head even hit the pillow.
"That was great!" said Shannon.
"Of course it was! You were with me." Xander stretched out his arms and put one around Shannon.
"Someone's very modest today." She looked up at him and kissed him passionately. They stopped for a second, then she roll on top of him and their lips met once again.
"Xander, how could you?" Anya had suddenly appeared in the room, right in front of them.
"She didn't mean anything to me, I was upset, I was thinking of you." Xander couldn't stop all the lame excuses from coming out of his mouth. He tried to cover mouth with his hand, but his lips continued to move.
"So our passionate night of love meant nothing to you! How could you say those things?" Shannon filled with anger.
"I don't know it was like my mouth wasn't connected to my brain."
"Oh and like that makes a difference from usual."
"Anya that was harsh." Xander looked sad with his puppy dog eyes.
"For that I'm becoming a vengeance demon again." Anya turned around and became the veiny-faced demon once again. Xander looked at Shannon who wore a necklace with a blue cross on it.
"Care to make a wish."
"Yeah, I wish we'd go 16th century on his arse."
"You're going to chop off my head?"
"No way that's too quick." Said Shannon with an evil grin on her face.
There was a flash of light. Xander saw Anya and Shannon wearing long blood red dressing, which looked very sexy on them, but Xander knew that that wasn't the point. The point was the large flaming torch, which was in Shannons' hands. He suddenly noticed that his bed was now a large pile of longs and broken wood. He was standing on top of it, tied to a large stake. Oh 16th Century. He also wondered why he hadn't noticed that he was tied to a rather large stake before. In the back of his head he could hear a slight sound of screaming.
"It's time." Shannon lit the wood and quickly the flames spread. The screaming in his head got loader. He also heard more laughing in the background.
Xander first saw Willow and Buffy both wearing red come and join Anya and Shannon. Next he noticed Anna, Naomi, and Cordelia again in red join the laughing crowd. What is the obsession with red? He wasn't sure, but he might have also seen Faith, Drusilla and Ampata walking towards the other females. It was getting too hot to concentrate.
"Isn't this a little too severe?"
"No." Shouted all the females who at least had to stop laughing for a second to say no.
"Hot, ouch hot." He was trying to blow out the flames with the little air that came from his mouth.
"Hot."
"Sorry Xander, I didn't mean too spill hot chocolate on you." Shannon was starring at him, with a mug in her hand. "Would you like one the water in the kettle still warm? You know your kettle is really loud when boiling, I thought that would wake you up."
"No thanks. Ur…what time is it?"
"Nearly ten, which I prefer to five." Shannon sat down on a chair near him.
"Have you had anything for breakfast yet?" He was hankering for a couple of bowls of cereal.
"There's no food here and I didn't want to go upstairs."
"Don't worry my parents barely notice me. I doubt they'll notice you." He never had to sneak through his window after a late night patrolling with Buffy or at the Bronze. He would just walk through the front door with no questions asked.
"Am I meant to take that seriously or was it meant to be some sort of insult?"
Xander didn't look like he was telling a joke "It's just that a mysterious female just walks into the kitchen after a night in their sons' room, it quite suspicious if you ask me."
"Nothing happened, why would they be suspicious of me and you, we did nothing, absolutely nothing."
"Yes, I did notice that nothing happened, I was there when nothing happened."
Well done you're Xander playing it so cool. He couldn't stop thinking about his dream and wondering what it all meant. He did consider that it was just a load of bullshit brought on by yesterday. He also knew though that some of things he said to Shannon he had actually meant. Xander always had a thing about Slayers and even though Shannon was a vampire hunter it was on the same lines. She was twirling her hair just like she had done in his dream and just before they had made love. Another thing had surprised him. How well he remembered his dream, normally he would forget it within the first minute of waking up. Maybe it was because of the kind of dream it had been. Kinky. Xander hadn't had a dream like that ever since his huge crush on Buffy a few years ago; but then again he'd never had quite the same as the one with Shannon. Even though his relationship with Cordelia he had never once had a sex dream about her, those involved her undressing him and changing his style. Well maybe it had sort of been one. What was his dream trying to tell him, that he should be with Shannon or that he shouldn't ever cheat on Anya or he would have to suffer the consequences. He didn't actually believe that Anya would burn him at the stake; then again it was Anya ex-vengeance demon for all women kind.
"Xander, do you wanna have fun?" asked Shannon.
Xander quickly turned around to Shannon face; with his eyes wide open from his misconception of the question.
"What, what do you mean exactly?" He lifted up his arm and scratched the back of his head. Trying to play it cool.
"You live here, you know what is there to do in the town and I get bored easily. What did you think I meant, have sex?" Shannon raised an eyebrow, while Xander did a lame fake laugh.
"No of course not, why would I think that?" He realised he'd better stop before he dug an even deeper hole. "We could go to the cinema."
"Yeah I guess, but I only have five dollars left and I have no idea about currency. I really don't know the value of a dollar."
"Let me pay, it's the least I could do after you saved my life."
"Fine and I'll let you pay for popcorn and a coke."
"I'm that nice."
"Yeah you're so nice, this can be counted as a date."
"What?" This girl was going way to fast for him and so early in the morning.
"I wonder what's on and good you guys are a few months ahead."
Buffy and Willow were strolling through the shopping centre. There had been a sale on at a few of the fashion stores, which was lucky for them and they were having cash flow problems.
"Want to go somewhere to eat soon?" Willow asked Buffy.
"Yeah, but I think all I can afford is a kiddie meal."
"Don't worry I'm looking at the same option myself, but look at the bright side. We'll get a free toy; I hope I get one of those cute little animal stuff toy things. All I need is a lobster, a bear and a spotted dog."
"Willow have you got an obsession with those things?" She was sure she had seen Willow hide a secret collection of little collectable cute toys.
"They're so cute what would you expect from me?" She had used her hands to express how tiny they were.
"A less obsessed friend." Buffy told Willow.
They walked into a fast food store, where luckily they found a short queue, but there were only a few seats left.
"I'll get the food you get the seats," offered Buffy "What do you want?"
"Just a kiddie burger, fries and coke please." Willow gave Buffy the money, then rushed over to the one of the limited places to sit. Buffy wasn't long getting the food and finding Willow.
"So you found a seat, well done." Buffy placed the tray upon the table.
"I had to kill a man for it." She had said the same thing to Oz but Buffy hadn't been there when she had made the joke. It was okay to tell the same joke twice.
"Oh and where's the body?" Buffy whispered.
"I sold it to the store, they're using it for tomorrows burgers."
"Oh and ugh, we are not coming here tomorrow." There was a question, which Buffy had wanted to ask Willow all day, but wasn't quite sure if she should ask it, in case it came out wrong.
"So…umm…what did you think of Shannon?"
"Why are you jealous?"
"See I knew you would say something like that, but I'm not sure why I should be jealous."
"Because she chose to fight vampires and can quit whenever she wants, but it's your duty as the chosen to fight till the day you die." Willow thought over her answer and wished she had said it slightly differently. "She seemed nice although I didn't get much chance to speak to her. Anyone who saves Xander's life is in the good book with me though.
"The strange is that according to her she's not beaten either of her friends yet she doesn't…well she's still alive and she's not even the slayer."
"Hey maybe it's like in cartoons where the good guy always wins and the really evil people always lose but can't die, because they have to be there for the next episode. I think it's dumb luck."
"Will, this is real life not some childrens' cartoon. I agree she did seem a nice person though she was a bit cocky and very sarcastic."
"She's sarcastic?"
"You'll see." Buffy slightly nodded her head.
They sat there eating their food and slurping their drinks and didn't say another word until both the hungry friends had consumed all of their food and drink.
"Come on we'll drop this stuff back in our room then head to Giles' to see if he's made any progress." Willow nodded her head to signal her agreement with Buffy. Buffy hoped that Giles had made any kind of improvement, but Giles was good at what he did and was also good at staying up at night to look for what they would need.
Giles opened his door to find Willow and Buffy waiting outside, like usual they made their way in without permission. Though it wasn't like he would leave them outside it just he found it kind of rude. He wouldn't tell them that though because would just say that he was just being British. Giles also didn't want to disappoint them that if they were ever actually to go to Britain they wouldn't find millions of Giles all clad in tweed wandering the gloomy and smoke filled city of London. Sometimes he thought of asking Buffy if she knew another British City, but he feared she would answer him with England. There were a lot of stereotypical views of Britain like it was 'tea bag central' as Cordelia once put it. Then again everywhere was stereotyped as something.
"Giles, what are you thinking about?" questioned Buffy.
"Excuse me?"
"Come back to Earth Giles we need you more." Willow joked while she knew she did really need him, because she couldn't understand the very thick Latin book, which was open on Giles' desk.
"Good news I have found out something about the disguise spell Anna used to trick Xander. Where's Xander?" Xander never seemed to be with Willow and Buffy anymore.
"He's with Shannon, I wonder what their up to. They seemed rather compatible last night. They could be sarcasm king and queen." Said Willow.
"Can you imagine the wedding? Do you take this man blah de blah de blah, no really I'm here for the buffet." Buffy smiled proudly at her witty comment.
"I've found the spell Anna used in this book here, do you recognise it Willow?" Giles passed the book to her.
"No, I haven't quite got to this stage of magic yet, but it looks like it's kinda cool." Willow read some more of the spell " It's a bit like a glamour spell. Basically you take something of the one you love and then you can change your appearance to look like the person's ideal date or someone they are already dating. Hey maybe I could try this one day."
"Why Willow someone you want to impress?" Buffy felt like she was asking a stupid question. Willow was madly in love with Oz. Willow wasn't looking to cheat on him or flirt with anyone else, Willow could never do a thing like that to Oz. Except for that one time last year when her and Xander had finally been seeing each other. The problem was that they had both been dating other people for even longer.
"No it's just interesting." Willow had a quick flick through the book to have a look at the other spells in the book.
"Anna probably got something when she was hanging around outside Xanders house trying to get him to invite her in. She may have not been able to go inside but that doesn't mean Xander has never left or dropped anything outside the house. " Buffy also had a look at the book "Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?"
"One more thing, this spell can only be cast every twenty four hours, the only exception is that it can be used if you add the blood of a werewolf. Then you can change over the three nights."
"Oz!" said Willow shaking her hands in the air.
"Don't worry there's another week before the next full moon." Giles pointed out to the worried Willow.
"And our new Welsh friends will be gone before that." Buffy was sure of herself. "They shouldn't be too hard to get rid of now they're facing the slayer."
"Remember Buffy they're not bothered about you, which is strange for vampires, but also rather smart of them." Most vampires that came into town only had one thing on their minds and that was normally Buffy. It was strange that a vampire was after Xander though he did find himself in trouble quite a few times. There was also a time when Xander was the one causing trouble, not intentionally of course. He was just unlucky when it came to the Hellmouth, in a way it was picking on him.
Xander strolled though the park, hand in hand with Anya. They kissed affectionately. It was nice and peaceful with it being just them. The Bronze was fun but sometimes it was nice when it was just the two of them.
"Xander, I want you to be with me for eternity." They stopped walking and Xander starred at her.
"What? Don't you think…" he paused, he was clueless about what his answer should be "…well it's a bit…" argggghhhhh! "…Are you feeling alright?"
"I've never felt better and why should I feel ill, it's a bit hard for someone like me."
"Huh?" Xander had no clue, whatsoever about what Anya was going on about.
"You know what I talking about or do you need another clue?" Anya grabbed Xander and brought him closer for a snog. Something changed while they kissed; it was as if Anya had changed. Xander pulled away.
"Anya." He looked at her, but instead he saw the features of stranger. "Who are you?" The girl morphed her face again this time into a vampires' face.
"I don't know why you kept calling me Anya, you should of known it wasn't her if you were really meant to be together."
"I see someone who looks like her, I usually assume its her, who are you?" His girlfriend had short wavy blond hair, well the hair was still short but this girl was a brunette.
She brought him close again and whispered into his ear "Anna." Anna began to nibble his ear.
"Ewww…stop that." This time he couldn't pull away from her. Anna pushed him away though, hard onto the ground and it hurt a lot as the pain shot up his spine. She stood right above him.
"I'm giving you a once in a life time opportunity." The vampire sat down on the ground with him and grabbed him by the collar, forcing his neck to tilt to the side.
"I not going to take you up on your offer." He told her with the most confident voice he could manage in this situation. He knew his plea would change nothing, so he decided to say something a bit more useful. "Help!"
"Sorry there's no backing out now." Her evil smile made him feel nervous and in a blink of an eye the fangs were on the verge of breaking the skin.
Bang! Anna fell away from the relieved Xander, he turned around expecting to see Buffy, but yet again his eyes fell upon a stranger. The girl stood there posed in a similar fighting stance to Buffy. She held a stake in one hand and the other was a clenched fist.
"Another slayer?" Xander couldn't believe his eyes. He starred up at this girl who had just saved his life. She wasn't as tall as Anna as she stood up to fight her opponent. The girl had blond hair, which was mainly straight but it curled at the bottom. She didn't have a strong muscular body structure so he had assumed that she might have slayer strength.
"Piss off would ya? I'm busy here!" shouted Anna.
"Not too busy for another fight I hope?" They obviously knew each other and he could tell straight away that they were just the best of buds.
"Duh, of course I am, have you seen this guy?" She pointed at him, and Xander in a strange way felt complimented. He just wished that he had heard it under the current circumstances.
The new slayer loosened her tight fist and put it in her pocket from it a big bottle of holy water was produced. She twisted the lid and was ready to open it and throw it at the vampire.
"Shit." Said Anna and ran away as she had never been a fan of holy water. The girl was about to chase after Anna when she heard.
"Shit." It was another vampire; Naomi I presume and she ran in another direction. The girl stood there for a second considering which vampire to chase after.
"Shit." Said the pissed off girl who came towards Xander and kissed him. It was a split second decision to go after Naomi, but the cute brown eyed and dark haired lad interrupted her.
"Shit that was good, what was that for?" Xander was confused
"You were just staring I thought something was wrong with you. Shit they're getting away." The girl ran off after Naomi. Xander hadn't realised that he had just been starring as if he was in a trance, he also hoped he hadn't been drooling. He wiped his lip to make sure and found that he had been lucky.
"Shit." Said Anya, as she looked very hurt at Xander. She had caught him kissing then staring at the girl. That was never good news for a boyfriend.
"Shit." Said Xander again. Buffy said shit as well, then a few minutes later when Willow arrived she said,
"Shit."
"Why did you say it, you've just arrived?" asked Buffy.
"I didn't want to left out." Willow replied. "Xander are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess, but Anya I didn't realise it wasn't you." It was time for the petty excuses.
"Why not and you were kissing her like you kiss me." Anya looked even more hurt. "What have you got to say for yourself?"
"Monkey see, monkey do." It was the first thing that had come to his head; maybe it wasn't the best thing to say. "You can't blame me for that slayer girl kissing me either, she only did it, because she thought I was in some sort of trance."
"You kissed another girl, who didn't look anything like me." Anya went off in a mood "Don't follow me I need time to think about if your getting it anymore!" Xander knew he was best to give her some time; it was no use talking to her when she was like that.
"What slayer girl?" Buffy was very curious.
"She saved me, Anna was about to bite me, when she came in from no-where." He would have said he remembered it just like yesterday but it was less then five minutes go.
"Another slayer, Faith isn't dead and last time I checked I'm not dead either." Buffy was fed up with all these slayers turning up and trying to do her job.
"I can explain." It was Giles who had been lurking in background "That's who I needed to tell you about. Her name is Shannon and she's British like me."
"Born in Britain, English by God given right." It was Shannon. "I couldn't find Naomi she got away again."
"So you're Shannon," Buffy looked at the new face, "look maybe we should go somewhere and talk about this."
"My place isn't too far away, we'll go back there for some tea to warm us up." Said Giles as they began to walk back.
"Does it have to be tea, I didn't it like it then and I don't like it now." Shannon told Giles.
Xander raised an eyebrow "Wow someone from England doesn't like tea, I am truly shocked and my stereotypical views are ruined!"
Shannon just gave him a funny look and turned away. "So what do you drink then?"
"Coke and lots of it!" she replied "You have got some haven't you Giles?"
"No, but I've got some hot chocolate in."
"Mmm… chocolate, why didn't you tell me about this supply?" Buffy was disappointed that there had been a secret supply of chocolate and she hadn't been informed, while she had been stuck drinking tea. They all climbed into Oz's van.
"Hey how we gonna give Oz his van back?" Willow inquired.
Inside of Giles' condo everyone had the newly discovered supply of hot chocolate, except for Giles who was drinking his soothing tea.
"How come you're a slayer?" Xander finally asked the question that everyone was wondering about. There was no point being polite about it or subtle. It was going to come up any way.
"I'm not a slayer, I prefer the term vampire hunter." Slayer sounded so chosen one.
"Yes, you were meant to become a watcher and start studying when we told you about your true destiny."
"I didn't want to be a watcher, when you told me about the chosen one, now that job sounded cool. Kicking some undead butt. Dad didn't mind, so I had parental permission." She never needed parental permission it wasn't as if you filled out a form to kill vampires. Shannon would have done it anyway.
"You know Shannon's dad?" Buffy asked Giles.
"Yes he was one of my friends at Oxford, while I was going through my teenage rebellion period." Ah the memories.
"You said you've fought with Anna before." Xander remembered her say it.
"Ah –ha, she's was my friend and so was Naomi, before they became vampires and I had to stop them."
"You're doing such a good as well." Buffy said sarcastically.
"HEY, that's my job to be a sarcastic." It was Shannon who said it not Xander.
"Trust me, she is the sarcasm queen." Giles informed the gang.
"Thankyou Giles. They only been vampires for a short time, but it didn't take them long to climb up the ranks of the undead chain. Anna always been weird, kinda crazy, but tries hard to get what ever she wants." Shannon looked at Xander who wasn't too happy with that fact. "Naomi knew about the truth and had been practising witchcraft for a few years." That fact would of interested Willow, but she had gone back to the Bronze to her Oz. "I haven't known her a s long as Anna and Lynette though, Anna has known her for years they lived near each other."
"Who's Lynette?" wondered Xander.
"You haven't met Lynette yet, she too is a vampire, probably hasn't come here yet, because there's a car coming from London." Everyone gave her a strange look not understanding the joke "Old joke about crossing the road, I would run across, Anna would walk across the road, when the car was close. Then Lynette would wait for ages till there was no car in sight for miles. It describes our personalities quite well."
"Have you lost all your friends to vampires?" That was Buffys worse nightmare she would hate to see her friends undead. It would be her job to kill them.
"Yes and I'm just so happy about it!" Yet again Shannon received strange looks from everyone "I was being sarcastic, and you say we Brits are uptight." Shannon said in a posh accent.
"I told you she was sarcastic."
"No really, I wouldn't have guessed." Xander joined with the sarcasm.
"Okay can we stop with the sarcasm?"
"Actually Giles I thought we talk this way all day." Shannon continued.
"Shut up."
"Okay. More information on my three friends, you know that's really depressing. I have three friends and they're all undead. Oh well.
"As you may already know Anna and Naomi were the first to be turned and reeked havoc in Prestatyn."
"Where?" asked Xander.
"It's in Wales."
"Oh, where?"
"Xander, I'll give you some advise never say that in front of Anna, she'll kill you. Wait she'll kill you and leave you dead. She's quite the Welsh person; she found unsuspecting Americans on the Internet and gave them a geography lesson. I wonder if she's doing it much now she's here.
"Okay where was I? They decided that they wanted all their friends to be vampires like them, so they found Lynette and turned into a vampire. They also killed everyone who annoyed her. There was this really funny occasion when Anna and Naomi came into school with a rocket launcher in the winter, so it was over cast and already quite dark. Well they were aiming at this teacher in our school who keeps giving out homework and coursework at every opportunity. I was in that day, lucky me, so I was able to stop them.
"One problem though as I got the rocket launcher off them I accidentally pulled the trigger and it was lift off. The rocket it hit co-ordinate dead on target and was blown to smithereens. The funny side was I stopped her from giving out a class more coursework." Shannon laughed.
"Um… isn't that a bad thing to do?" asked Buffy.
"No, would you lot quit with the strange looks, you look worse then Anna, who can't give people evil looks, if you're wondering why I said you lot looked like her."
"She wasn't too bad at giving me an evil look before." Said Xander
"Of course she's good at it with her game face on. Duh!"
"Shannon you do realise that you blew up a teacher and you have no repercussions about it." Giles was worried that they may be having another Faith case.
"Well I never really liked the bitch, I mean she hated me for no reason, other than the fact I did no work and talked though her lessons. I think it was because she was some evil glue sticky kind of demon."
"Oh in that case it changes everything. How did you know?"
"I had gone to school that day to deal with her and I'm not letting those vamps get to do what I've always wanted to do. Oh and it was really had to get all those sticky bits off the floor."
Buffy spoke before Shannon could say something else. "It's getting pretty late and I want to do one more sweep of the town to see if there's any trace of Anna and Naomi. Xander you want me to walk you home."
"Yes I'm not capable of walking on my own."
"Hey you are good at being sarcastic, maybe you could be my sarcastic king. Anyway if Anna is out for you I suggest you don't stay alone at night. Actually I just had a great idea why don't I come stay at your house just to make sure you're okay."
"In my room? My gloomy, dark and lonely basement. Okay that's fine with me." Xander smiled, Buffy knew that maybe Shannon staying at his place wouldn't be great for his male hormones.
"I agree." Giles nodded "Remember they obviously know some kind of transformation spell, so they could be anyone at night."
Naomi and Anna walked into Spikes' chamber and slammed the door behind them. They stomped around the crypt to show that they were mad.
"I can't believe she's here already, what is she stalker girl or something. I'm totally pissed off with her, I say we kill her tomorrow." Several plans were already forming in Naomi's mind.
"Naomi, you're not thinking with your brain again, she may not be the slayer, but she knows us very well. Both our strengths and weaknesses. I have an idea, but we gonna need another set of hands."
"Will mine do?" A girl stood at Spike door, she was tall with long, twisting brown hair. She wore a long denim skirt, a plain black sleeveless top and a laced black poncho.
"Lynette here already? I thought it would be about another week." Naomi smirked.
"Boat got here faster than I thought, hey, just because I'm not psycho enough to take my chances on a plane." She walked into the dusty crypt.
"FYI, I planned out those flights perfectly, leaving just after sunset and arriving just before sunrise, with a enough time to find shelter. Then I scrapped that plan and stole a private jet and a captain. Ha! You had to leave earlier as well if I remember correctly."
"Well I got a chance to travel to LA and I saw the most gorgeous man ever. The problem is he's that vampire with a soul and that junk. I can't think of his name, damn it's gonna bug me for at least a week."
"Oh that's just great it's gonna annoy me as well." Naomi tossed her arms in the air, then brought them back down put them on her hips and smiled "Spike you're back, the sun will be up soon, I was getting worried."
Spike walked into his home, his eyes were fixed upon the third female who was new to him. She stared back and a smile appeared on her face.
"Hello Spike, you must be the one Dru was talking about."
"And you are?" Another stranger that Drusilla had been kind enough to give his details to.
"This is our friend Lynette, she had to be annoying and come by boat to Sunnydale." Explained Anna.
"Oh and how come you weren't mentioned before?"
"You didn't ask us before if there was anymore of us." Anna explained once again.
"Is she possible of answering her own questions?"
"Is she, is she really?" Anna knew that would annoy the others.
"She is capable of talking, if Anna gives her a chance." Lynette finally spoke to Spike for the first time. She then got in touch with her childish side and pulled a tongue at Anna.
"Somehow I thought you'd be slightly different, but that's good, you're cuter than I thought you would be and I love the accent."
"Are you flirting with me?" asked Spike, he liked how he had three females all flirting with him. Made him feel all manly.
"Yes Lynette, are you flirting with Spike?" Naomi raised her eyebrow.
"Whatever gave you that idea I was just talking to Spike here, I was complimenting him, is there anything wrong with that?" Lynette winked at Spike but turned her head so that Naomi wouldn't see it and complain more. Spike shifted the shape of his smile into a slight smirk.
"So this is your pad?" Shannon tried not to giggle, "Nice disco ball though."
"Hey!" Xander smiled "Where do you want to sleep?"
"I'm bed, you're couch, unless you want to come on the bed with me?" she said whilst sitting on the bed running her hand along the sheet.
"Urrr…no, not like I wouldn't, it's just I shouldn't, can't even. You shouldn't feel insulted you're pretty, but wait let me re-think though my bumbling." Shannon could see that Xanders cheeks were blushing slightly.
"So you think I'm pretty?" Shannon smiled, twirled her hair and bit her lip. She was so going to milk for compliments.
"Well yeah you are, but I'm going through a kinda rough patch with my girlfriend Anya and now you're here." When Xander was close enough to her, she grabbed him by his shirt collar and pulled him on to the bed.
"When I first saw you I thought you were cute." Shannon went down onto the bed with him and began to nibble his ear.
"You aren't by any chance under some sort of love spell?"
"No, I just think you're cute, do you have a leather jacket by any chance?" Looking at his wardrobe.
"Why?"
"I have a theory that cute guys look very sexy in leather jacket."
"Kinky." Shannon began to undo Xanders belt.
"You're a very strange person Shannon, you know that."
"Yes, does it bother you?"
"No, kinky." Shannon and Xander began to snog; everything around him seemed to fade.
"Shannon." Xander realised that his lips were against the pillow and there was a strange taste in his mouth. He was on the couch and Shannon was on the bed giving him strange looks for a change.
"What? Will you stop saying my name!" She didn't sound too happy with him.
"Huh?" Xander couldn't believe what he had been doing and he brain was too busy from recovering from waking up to process all the information.
"It's 5 o'clock in the morning Xander."
"5 o'clock, I'll never be able to get back…" Xander fell asleep again before his head even hit the pillow.
"That was great!" said Shannon.
"Of course it was! You were with me." Xander stretched out his arms and put one around Shannon.
"Someone's very modest today." She looked up at him and kissed him passionately. They stopped for a second, then she roll on top of him and their lips met once again.
"Xander, how could you?" Anya had suddenly appeared in the room, right in front of them.
"She didn't mean anything to me, I was upset, I was thinking of you." Xander couldn't stop all the lame excuses from coming out of his mouth. He tried to cover mouth with his hand, but his lips continued to move.
"So our passionate night of love meant nothing to you! How could you say those things?" Shannon filled with anger.
"I don't know it was like my mouth wasn't connected to my brain."
"Oh and like that makes a difference from usual."
"Anya that was harsh." Xander looked sad with his puppy dog eyes.
"For that I'm becoming a vengeance demon again." Anya turned around and became the veiny-faced demon once again. Xander looked at Shannon who wore a necklace with a blue cross on it.
"Care to make a wish."
"Yeah, I wish we'd go 16th century on his arse."
"You're going to chop off my head?"
"No way that's too quick." Said Shannon with an evil grin on her face.
There was a flash of light. Xander saw Anya and Shannon wearing long blood red dressing, which looked very sexy on them, but Xander knew that that wasn't the point. The point was the large flaming torch, which was in Shannons' hands. He suddenly noticed that his bed was now a large pile of longs and broken wood. He was standing on top of it, tied to a large stake. Oh 16th Century. He also wondered why he hadn't noticed that he was tied to a rather large stake before. In the back of his head he could hear a slight sound of screaming.
"It's time." Shannon lit the wood and quickly the flames spread. The screaming in his head got loader. He also heard more laughing in the background.
Xander first saw Willow and Buffy both wearing red come and join Anya and Shannon. Next he noticed Anna, Naomi, and Cordelia again in red join the laughing crowd. What is the obsession with red? He wasn't sure, but he might have also seen Faith, Drusilla and Ampata walking towards the other females. It was getting too hot to concentrate.
"Isn't this a little too severe?"
"No." Shouted all the females who at least had to stop laughing for a second to say no.
"Hot, ouch hot." He was trying to blow out the flames with the little air that came from his mouth.
"Hot."
"Sorry Xander, I didn't mean too spill hot chocolate on you." Shannon was starring at him, with a mug in her hand. "Would you like one the water in the kettle still warm? You know your kettle is really loud when boiling, I thought that would wake you up."
"No thanks. Ur…what time is it?"
"Nearly ten, which I prefer to five." Shannon sat down on a chair near him.
"Have you had anything for breakfast yet?" He was hankering for a couple of bowls of cereal.
"There's no food here and I didn't want to go upstairs."
"Don't worry my parents barely notice me. I doubt they'll notice you." He never had to sneak through his window after a late night patrolling with Buffy or at the Bronze. He would just walk through the front door with no questions asked.
"Am I meant to take that seriously or was it meant to be some sort of insult?"
Xander didn't look like he was telling a joke "It's just that a mysterious female just walks into the kitchen after a night in their sons' room, it quite suspicious if you ask me."
"Nothing happened, why would they be suspicious of me and you, we did nothing, absolutely nothing."
"Yes, I did notice that nothing happened, I was there when nothing happened."
Well done you're Xander playing it so cool. He couldn't stop thinking about his dream and wondering what it all meant. He did consider that it was just a load of bullshit brought on by yesterday. He also knew though that some of things he said to Shannon he had actually meant. Xander always had a thing about Slayers and even though Shannon was a vampire hunter it was on the same lines. She was twirling her hair just like she had done in his dream and just before they had made love. Another thing had surprised him. How well he remembered his dream, normally he would forget it within the first minute of waking up. Maybe it was because of the kind of dream it had been. Kinky. Xander hadn't had a dream like that ever since his huge crush on Buffy a few years ago; but then again he'd never had quite the same as the one with Shannon. Even though his relationship with Cordelia he had never once had a sex dream about her, those involved her undressing him and changing his style. Well maybe it had sort of been one. What was his dream trying to tell him, that he should be with Shannon or that he shouldn't ever cheat on Anya or he would have to suffer the consequences. He didn't actually believe that Anya would burn him at the stake; then again it was Anya ex-vengeance demon for all women kind.
"Xander, do you wanna have fun?" asked Shannon.
Xander quickly turned around to Shannon face; with his eyes wide open from his misconception of the question.
"What, what do you mean exactly?" He lifted up his arm and scratched the back of his head. Trying to play it cool.
"You live here, you know what is there to do in the town and I get bored easily. What did you think I meant, have sex?" Shannon raised an eyebrow, while Xander did a lame fake laugh.
"No of course not, why would I think that?" He realised he'd better stop before he dug an even deeper hole. "We could go to the cinema."
"Yeah I guess, but I only have five dollars left and I have no idea about currency. I really don't know the value of a dollar."
"Let me pay, it's the least I could do after you saved my life."
"Fine and I'll let you pay for popcorn and a coke."
"I'm that nice."
"Yeah you're so nice, this can be counted as a date."
"What?" This girl was going way to fast for him and so early in the morning.
"I wonder what's on and good you guys are a few months ahead."
Buffy and Willow were strolling through the shopping centre. There had been a sale on at a few of the fashion stores, which was lucky for them and they were having cash flow problems.
"Want to go somewhere to eat soon?" Willow asked Buffy.
"Yeah, but I think all I can afford is a kiddie meal."
"Don't worry I'm looking at the same option myself, but look at the bright side. We'll get a free toy; I hope I get one of those cute little animal stuff toy things. All I need is a lobster, a bear and a spotted dog."
"Willow have you got an obsession with those things?" She was sure she had seen Willow hide a secret collection of little collectable cute toys.
"They're so cute what would you expect from me?" She had used her hands to express how tiny they were.
"A less obsessed friend." Buffy told Willow.
They walked into a fast food store, where luckily they found a short queue, but there were only a few seats left.
"I'll get the food you get the seats," offered Buffy "What do you want?"
"Just a kiddie burger, fries and coke please." Willow gave Buffy the money, then rushed over to the one of the limited places to sit. Buffy wasn't long getting the food and finding Willow.
"So you found a seat, well done." Buffy placed the tray upon the table.
"I had to kill a man for it." She had said the same thing to Oz but Buffy hadn't been there when she had made the joke. It was okay to tell the same joke twice.
"Oh and where's the body?" Buffy whispered.
"I sold it to the store, they're using it for tomorrows burgers."
"Oh and ugh, we are not coming here tomorrow." There was a question, which Buffy had wanted to ask Willow all day, but wasn't quite sure if she should ask it, in case it came out wrong.
"So…umm…what did you think of Shannon?"
"Why are you jealous?"
"See I knew you would say something like that, but I'm not sure why I should be jealous."
"Because she chose to fight vampires and can quit whenever she wants, but it's your duty as the chosen to fight till the day you die." Willow thought over her answer and wished she had said it slightly differently. "She seemed nice although I didn't get much chance to speak to her. Anyone who saves Xander's life is in the good book with me though.
"The strange is that according to her she's not beaten either of her friends yet she doesn't…well she's still alive and she's not even the slayer."
"Hey maybe it's like in cartoons where the good guy always wins and the really evil people always lose but can't die, because they have to be there for the next episode. I think it's dumb luck."
"Will, this is real life not some childrens' cartoon. I agree she did seem a nice person though she was a bit cocky and very sarcastic."
"She's sarcastic?"
"You'll see." Buffy slightly nodded her head.
They sat there eating their food and slurping their drinks and didn't say another word until both the hungry friends had consumed all of their food and drink.
"Come on we'll drop this stuff back in our room then head to Giles' to see if he's made any progress." Willow nodded her head to signal her agreement with Buffy. Buffy hoped that Giles had made any kind of improvement, but Giles was good at what he did and was also good at staying up at night to look for what they would need.
Giles opened his door to find Willow and Buffy waiting outside, like usual they made their way in without permission. Though it wasn't like he would leave them outside it just he found it kind of rude. He wouldn't tell them that though because would just say that he was just being British. Giles also didn't want to disappoint them that if they were ever actually to go to Britain they wouldn't find millions of Giles all clad in tweed wandering the gloomy and smoke filled city of London. Sometimes he thought of asking Buffy if she knew another British City, but he feared she would answer him with England. There were a lot of stereotypical views of Britain like it was 'tea bag central' as Cordelia once put it. Then again everywhere was stereotyped as something.
"Giles, what are you thinking about?" questioned Buffy.
"Excuse me?"
"Come back to Earth Giles we need you more." Willow joked while she knew she did really need him, because she couldn't understand the very thick Latin book, which was open on Giles' desk.
"Good news I have found out something about the disguise spell Anna used to trick Xander. Where's Xander?" Xander never seemed to be with Willow and Buffy anymore.
"He's with Shannon, I wonder what their up to. They seemed rather compatible last night. They could be sarcasm king and queen." Said Willow.
"Can you imagine the wedding? Do you take this man blah de blah de blah, no really I'm here for the buffet." Buffy smiled proudly at her witty comment.
"I've found the spell Anna used in this book here, do you recognise it Willow?" Giles passed the book to her.
"No, I haven't quite got to this stage of magic yet, but it looks like it's kinda cool." Willow read some more of the spell " It's a bit like a glamour spell. Basically you take something of the one you love and then you can change your appearance to look like the person's ideal date or someone they are already dating. Hey maybe I could try this one day."
"Why Willow someone you want to impress?" Buffy felt like she was asking a stupid question. Willow was madly in love with Oz. Willow wasn't looking to cheat on him or flirt with anyone else, Willow could never do a thing like that to Oz. Except for that one time last year when her and Xander had finally been seeing each other. The problem was that they had both been dating other people for even longer.
"No it's just interesting." Willow had a quick flick through the book to have a look at the other spells in the book.
"Anna probably got something when she was hanging around outside Xanders house trying to get him to invite her in. She may have not been able to go inside but that doesn't mean Xander has never left or dropped anything outside the house. " Buffy also had a look at the book "Is there anything else you wanted to tell me?"
"One more thing, this spell can only be cast every twenty four hours, the only exception is that it can be used if you add the blood of a werewolf. Then you can change over the three nights."
"Oz!" said Willow shaking her hands in the air.
"Don't worry there's another week before the next full moon." Giles pointed out to the worried Willow.
"And our new Welsh friends will be gone before that." Buffy was sure of herself. "They shouldn't be too hard to get rid of now they're facing the slayer."
"Remember Buffy they're not bothered about you, which is strange for vampires, but also rather smart of them." Most vampires that came into town only had one thing on their minds and that was normally Buffy. It was strange that a vampire was after Xander though he did find himself in trouble quite a few times. There was also a time when Xander was the one causing trouble, not intentionally of course. He was just unlucky when it came to the Hellmouth, in a way it was picking on him.
