A/N: Since it took so long for the last part of this to be put up, I decided to add another chapter, something with a very cliff-hangery ending. Also, fag means cigarette in British and snogging means kissing or making out, for anyone who doesn't know. Enjoy!

"Now what happened?" Spike asked with a mixture of concern and annoyance in his voice when Willow's eyes fluttered open. He had rushed to her side and almost set the room on fire by knocking some candles over.
"Are you okay, honey?" Xander cooed in an affectionate tone rarely heard by the other Scoobies. He too was at his lover's side gently stroking her hair.
With a start, Anya woke up and quickly backed away from the others.
"You, man," she hissed, glaring at Xander and pressing her self against a wall in attempt to get as far away from him as possible.
"Yes, good Anya. Me, man; you, women," Xander said steadily as if addressing a wild animal.
"And beer bad," Buffy couldn't help but add.
Ignoring the blond girl's comment, Anya continued glaring at the man who had called her sweetie.
"I ought to liquefy your entrails and your 'instrument' for touching me like that," Anya threatened.
"That's something I'd like to see."
Everyone turned from the fuming ex-vengeance demon to their tweed clad friend who'd just woken up and said this out-of-character comment. With that, Giles jumped up, pulling away from Buffy and Riley's concerned looks.
"Anyone got a fag?" Giles asked casually, ignoring the bewildered looks he was receiving. Spike was the only one to regain quickly enough to pull out a box of cigarettes and his lighter to toss them to the ex-Liberian.
"Thanks, mate," Giles said as he put the cigarette to his lips and lit it up. "So," he began after taking a slow drag on the cigarette during which everyone was too confused to say anything. "Who are all you people?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Anya muttered.
"What about you, Willow, do you remember who we are?" Spike asked the silent girl.
Willow didn't respond. She seemed to be in a haze which was suddenly broken when she jumped up and backed away.
"I can't be here," she whispered.
"Willow, you're shaking," Spike observed with concern. He moved towards the frightened girl who flinched at his touch. But an idea seemed to form in her mind and she complied to the worried vampire, allowing him to take her in his arms.
"See what they're doing?" Xander asked Anya. "We use to do that."
"I don't hug men, I torture them," Anya spat.
"Sounds alright to me as long as you don't come near me with your laser vision or what-have-you," Giles said. By now he'd moved to a cupboard continuing a variety of liquor.
"Have you been faithful to the women you've dated?" Anya asked, advancing towards Giles.
"Depends on what 'being faithful' entails. By the way, does any one know where I can find some decent clothes?" Giles questioned while pouring some whiskey for him and 'the lady in red' as he called Anya while handing her a glass.
"Oh no, new clothes, you know what that means?" Buffy asked, wide-eyed.
"Giles actually owns other clothes than that tweed suit?" Riley suggested.
"Something went wrong with the spell," Xander said flatly while watching his girlfriend chugging down some whiskey with an ex-Liberian.

"Now that the spell finally worked, we can start working on our plan," said the glowing Cullena.
"And that is again?" Rosa cautioned to ask.
"Normally a question as dimwitted as that would make me very angry but as it so happens, I'm feeling benevolent. The plan is," Cullena paused for dramatic effect, her newly green eyes glittering, "to take over the world."
"That's it?" exclaimed Rosa who was disappointed with the anti-climax.
"Yes," Cullena said, resisting the urge to scream. "But first, we need to help out the people who summoned us here."
After gathering her sisters to her side, Cullena made her way up the bar stairs. Before opening the door, she cautiously tapped on it then pressed her eye up to the wood. It took a moment but soon a tap was heard on the other side of the door.
"Let's go take over the world," Cullena laughed as she opened the door, possibilities spreading out before her.

"What could have happened?" Buffy whispered to Riley, Xander, and Spike who she'd gathered into the kitchen with her. Anya and Giles, meanwhile, were talking over drinks in a manner resembling plotting. And, after reluctantly being left by Spike, Willow found herself lying on the couch and looking dazed, again.
"Well, it appears that the spell being cast on Willow was cast again while we were performing our spell," Xander observed.
They turned to the brown-haired boy, disbelief on all of their faces.
"What? I can't be the smart one every so often?" Xander asked, offended.
"Sorry, Xander, but-"
"We're beginning to suspect that the spell messed with you too," Spike finished for Buffy.
"Hey!" Xander exclaimed.
"Boys, boys,' Buffy intervened.
"Matters at hand," Riley put in despite Spike's glare.
"So what you're saying, Xander, is that since two spells were cast at the same time, they screwed the other one up," Buffy said to get back to the subject.
"Well, it depends. Like maybe the spell on Willow was finished before ours so the casters weren't effected," Xander explained.
"So because we were casting a spell to put the demons back in their former dimension," Spike supplied.
"Anya and Giles became their former selves," Buffy finished. "A vengeance demon and a, um, bad boy."
Spike stifled a laugh at hearing about the stuffy watcher's former self.
"What about Willow? I mean, you said she use to be, um." The always polite Riley was at a loss for words.
"A geek?" Xander offered.
"Yeah, that, and she doesn't seem any geekier just... dazed," Riley continued.
"And shouldn't Anya be in demon world right now?" Xander asked.
"Well, it's not like she has her demon powers back or at least it doesn't look like she does," Spike observed.
"Someone should test her," Riley said.
They all looked blankly at one another.
"That would mean..." Buffy cautioned.
"Someone would have to cheat on their girlfriend. But not me," Xander finished.
"Why not you, whelp boy?" Spike exclaimed.
"We are testing my girlfriend, the one with amnesia."
"Right, then who has to do it?" Buffy asked, frustrated that they were getting no where.
Riley and Xander exchanged glances then turned to Spike.
"Oh, bloody hell, why me?"
"You are immortal, Spike, she can't hurt you," Xander explained.
"Unless Willow wishes to set me on fire!"
"No, we'll tell her what to wish for," Riley said.
"Still, I couldn't do that to her," Spike confessed.
"Fine, Buffy will make the wish but that means I'll have to kiss Willow," Riley volunteered, hoping Spike would take the bait.
"Like hell you will," Spike said quickly and grabbed Buffy in his arms.
"Wait! Wait!" Buffy shouted. "I don't like this plan.!"
"Come on, Slayer, it's not like we haven't snogged before," Spike said, still holding onto the squirming girl.
"Wait, what have I missed?" Riley asked angrily.
"Guys!" Xander hissed before anything else could be said. "Anya is looking at us suspiciously."
After noting the look on Anya's face, Buffy turned to her friends and said, "fine. Xander, get Willow and tell her what to do."
Xander nodded and went over to the still dazed girl who hadn't yet taken any notice to the cluster of people in the kitchen. He whispered something into her ear. Her expression didn't change as she turned to Spike and Buffy in a tight embrace.
"Say something," Riley urged to the uncomfortable-looking pair.
"Oh, Spike, sweetie," Buffy cried as she held a grimace.
"Oh, Buffy, I know you're not my girlfriend but you're, um, just too hot to resist," Spike stuttered out then added, "here goes nothing."
What followed was one of the most awkward kisses in history. As suave as Spike tried to act, his lips were tightly clenched together during the it as were Buffy's. When they broke apart, both had disgusted looks on their faces but they tried to continue acting coupley.
After witnessing this kiss, Xander poked Willow to tell her she was up. And evil smirk that had never before plagued the sweet girl's face began forming.
"Anyanka, avenger of scorned women, I wish that my deceitful lover will spontaneously combust!" Willow commended.
Spike's face dropped as the demon turned towards him, a look of angry on her face.
"Done."
