"Come on Will, how could you ? " Xander's eyes flamed with anger . The group had gathered in the library where Xander stood indignant .
"Xander, what the hell is wrong with you ? "Buffy asked confused . "We're all friends here . Calm down so we can figure this out . What's wrong ? " the blond stepped forward deciding to be the voice of reason .
"Why don't you tell her Will ? " Xander sneered at his long time friend .
"Xander, stop acting like an ass or you'll regret it later . "Cordelia interjected .
"Hey, I thought you were on my side . "
"You cheated on me with her . I'm on the side that sees her in the arms of anyone but you . "
"Would you three care to include the rest of us in this discussoion, since you've decided to make it public . " Giles said cleaning his glasses, and pinching the brige of his nose frustrated .
"Xander's mad because he saw them at the movies last night . " Cordelia started
"I hardly see how that could cause such ire . " the librarian replies
"They were kissing . " the cheerleader finished .
"Oh . " Was all the watcher could manage .
"Oh ? You're the Watcher . Forbid them to see each other . If anyone has the power it's you . "
"Xander . " His anger was now directed at Faith who'd called his name . "Join me in the hall for a second . "
"Why the hell should ... " the boy trailed off when he saw the look both slayers sent his way . He quietly followed the dark slayer into the hall . Faith waited until they were a fair distance away before speaking .
"Xander, hit me . " the boy was shocked at her request, but quickly complied . Faith slunk to the floor, feigning hurt . She slowly got to her feet . "Good . Now you've proved you're a man . So start acting like it . "
"What's that supposed to mean ? "
"It means if you don't start acting like a man, instead of a child, you're gonna lose the best friend you've ever had . This is all new to Willow, and if there's one thing she's gonna need, it's her best friend . Now you can do two things . You can act like a child, and leave . Or you can act like a man, and go apologize to your friend while you still have one . " Xander nodded slowly and went into the library . Faith stayed where she was, leaning against some lockers . She was still like that when Buffy came out into the hallway .
"So you decided to tell her after all . You were really starting to look like shit . " the blond slayer spoke with a smile on her lips .
"How long have you known ? " the brunette asked, eyes still closed .
"About a week . I came over the day after I found you in the park . You two looked so cute on the couch . But I decided to wait until you two got outed before I said my piece . Just so you know, I think you two make a great couple and that you'll be really good for each other . That said . If you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel . Then, I'll burn the corpse . Then I'll throw the ashes into the wind off a cliff . Are you getting my point ? " Buffy finished, still perky .
"Yeah, loud and clear B . " Faith chuckled .
"Hey Faith . " Buffy said as she turned to walk away . "Thanks for setting Xander straight ." With that she entered the library .
She stood up, getting ready to go back into the library when the doors swung open again . This time she was greeted by a smiling red head .
"Hey . What are you doin' out here all by your lonesome ? " Willow asked coyly .
"Letting my girlfriend have some alone time to work shit out with her friends . "
"Lucky girl . " She giggled and kissed Faith deeply . "So, what are we doing tonight ? "
"Mmm ... don't know . No wait, yes I do . " the brunette grinned mischievously .
"Ooh, what is it ? "
"A surprise . I gotta pick up some stuff from my place . You're gonna need to borrow your parent's car . Is that okay ? "
"That depends . Do you have a driver's liscense ? "
"Yeah, my Watcher made me get one back home in Boston . "
"Can I see it ? "
"No . "
"Why not ? " Willow pouted .
"Just 'cuz . " Faith said, kissing Willow on the nose before leaving .
