"Okay, explain this to me again," Jake asked, walking out of the cemetery.
"One more time, Santa is real. The myth about him is just a myth. Tooth Fairy and other fairies are real." Anya explained again.
"So, vampires, ghosts all things that go bump in the night exist all over?" Alex asked.
"Yea, know this bloke in Santa Carla named David that copied my look." Spike explained. "I also know this vamp in LA named Peaches if you want to dust a vamp."
"Spike!" Buffy hissed smacking him upside his head. Spike just laughed.
Donovan walked along side them listening to the stories and shaking his head. "With everything that
happens in this town, what does the police do?" he asked.
They stopped walking and looked at each other before breaking out into hysterical laughter.
"What do the police do?" Xander laughed, holding onto Willow's arm.
"Those blokes 'aven't got a clue." Spike chuckled.
"Gangs on PCP," Buffy added, "that's always the 'official' story."
"What the hell did we get ourselves into?" Jake whispered to Alex.
"Well, I know what I'd like to get into." Spike winked at Alex.
"Let's go find Cody." Alex suggested, trying to move away from a leering Spike.
"Cody's signal is coming from over there." Jake pointed at the remains of a building.
"Of course!" Buffy yelled, throwing her hands up in the air, "I should've known they take him here!"
"What is it about this place?" Xander asked himself.
"What is this place?" Donovan demanded.
"The old high school." Anya explained.
"The one you guys blew up?" Jake asked.
"Uh, yea." Willow squeaked.
"You people need a watcher!" Donovan exclaimed.
"I don't take orders from them anymore." Buffy huffed.
"What?" Donovan asked, "I mean someone like the military."
"Been there." Buffy said, rolling her eyes.
"Done that." Spike added. "Don't need those gits here again."
"The military knows all about this?" Alex asked.
"Yea, how do you think Spike got neutered." Xander chipped in.
"Neutered?" Jake asked, shifting his legs.
Alex looked Spike up and down and shook her head, "What a waste."
"Hey!" Spike protested, "I can't bite and hurt people anymore."
"Why?" Jake asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer.
"You wankers," Spike hissed at Donovan, "shoved this bleedin' chip in me 'ead."
"Here we go!" Xander sighed.
"Buggar off Harris." Spike hissed.
"Hey Spike," Xander smiled, "bite me. Oh wait, you can't."
Everyone started to laugh at Xander's response.
"Sure, kick the Spike," he hissed, "I'm used to that."
"You can't hurt anyone?" Donovan asked.
"Nope, I get this searing pain in me brain if I do." Spike replied.
"Good," Donovan smiled, punching Spike in the face.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Spike asked, rubbing his cheek.
"Pay back." Donovan hissed, "Now let's go find Cody."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Somebody, anybody help me!" Cody yelled, hopping around the cage. "Great! Now I'm hopping! Willow! Spike! Donovan! Help me!"
Cody looked around the room. His cage was in the far left corner of the room. A bucket of carrots was placed with him as soon as he was locked up. He has no idea what they want with him or what they want to do to him.
"I'm sorry," a voice said behind Cody.
Cody hopped around and screamed when he saw what was talking to him. "What the hell are you?"
"I'm sorry for what my son has done to you," the giant bunny said.
"Your son?" Cody exclaimed, "Couldn't I at least been bitten by a girl?"
"My son chose you." the bunny said.
"Chose me, for what?' Cody demanded.
"My successor." he explained. "he does not want to be the next Easter Bunny."
"Easter Bunny?" Cody asked, "He's not real."
"That's a myth, just like Santa Claus, but I don't eat the children." the Easter bunny explained. " Your transformation will be complete in a few hours. After that I will train you in the duties of being the Easter Bunny."
"Train me!" Cody exclaimed, "I don't want to be the next Easter Bunny! I'm a computer nerd! I work for the government. I hate carrots. You don't want me to replace you!"
"It is done." the Easter Bunny proclaimed. "You will be my replacement."
Cody watched as the bunny hopped out of the room. "This is Donovan's fault!" Cody hissed, "He told me to go on vacation. I'm going to bite him when I become a bunny!"
"One more time, Santa is real. The myth about him is just a myth. Tooth Fairy and other fairies are real." Anya explained again.
