Velma reached down and started scratching Roxy behind
the ears. "I can answer that." Everyone gasped as she
grabbed Roxy's neck and started pulling the skin over the
dog's ears. The gasps from two of the group intensified
when the mask was pulled away to show who was in the dog
costume.
Someone sputtered. "That's...that's..."
Buffy was the first to spit it out. "GILES!!!"
"What?" the Englishman asked.
"Wh-what are you doing? You're the big bad behind
all of this? Bringing Mystery Inc to Sunnydale?
Abducting Daphne...the other Daphne? You'd better start
explaining!"
Giles used a costumed paw/hand and removed his
glasses. He reached behind himself and grabbed the tail
to the costume and used it to clean his glasses.
"You see, when I was assigned as your slayer, I did
some studying. I found out what a stubborn, strong headed
person you were and decided I didn't want to be your
Watcher. It's not something that I had the option of
declining, though. I found out that you were a big fan of
the real Scooby Gang. I noticed a resemblance between you
and Daphne...er, the other Daphne. I thought that if-if I
was able to remove her, that you might be able to join
them, denying your Slayer heritage. Imagine my utter
dismay when I found out you had an identical cousin."
The cousins both exclaimed "We are not identical!"
Everyone else present just hemmed and hawed.
Giles continued. "I tried to clue you in to her
whereabouts once I got to know you better. Why do you
think I suggested to you in secret that the Scooby Gang
might be a good nickname? Anyway, I grew quite fond of
you. Came to love you, actually. As far as Daphne...the
other Daphne... is concerned, she isn't remembering
everything accurately. She was well taken care of. She
loved being there, waited on hand and foot. We tried to
get her to leave more than once. Finally, we had to throw
her in a crate and ship her off. The Council wasn't going
to let me dedicate anymore of my pay to her keeping.
That's why I sent her here. I wanted her to run into
Mystery Inc and be reunited. And I would have gotten away
with it, too, if it wasn't for you damned kids!"
The entire group gasped in shock.
Giles groaned. "Give me a break! This isn't a
children's cartoon! People swear everyday! Get over it!
I said damn, and damn I meant!"
"Well," Xander asked, "what do we do with the G-man?"
Fred told everyone that he thought the police should
be called, naturally.
It was Daphne...er, the other...the original Daphne
who decided. "Guys, no harm, really. I did have a good
time. I didn't have to work and I was catered to. I only
said it was so horrible because I didn't want you to know
that I didn't try to get away. Just let him go."
In the end, that's how it was. Giles was released
and went back to England. Daphne...the other Daphne...the
original Daphne went with him, having grown accustomed to
English cuisine. Daphne...Buffy's cousin, stayed with
Mystery Inc. Our good old group of slayerettes went on
and did what they do.
Xander never got back the large amount of money he
paid for Roxy.
