Part Two

The following morning, Buffy asked Willow to perform the spell, and the young witch was happy to oblige. It was decided that they would meet at the Magic Box in order to collect supplies and then go out to lunch together. After lunch, Willow would come over to Rivello Drive, do the spell on Buffy, and then the two girls would spend the rest of the afternoon getting ready for the prom.

Lunch was fun, and the spell casting was filled with even more gaiety, but Buffy felt a little odd afterwards. She began to hear a buzzing noise that gave her a serious wiggins. Willow didn't hear anything, and suggested it might just be her imagination. Buffy was insulted. "You mean you think I'm losing my mind or something? Why can't it be my Spidey Sense? Or maybe-- maybe it's my super Slayer hearing!"

Willow sensed that Buffy didn't have complete faith in her ability to work a simple spell, and it was now her turn to be insulted. "There is nothing in the book about a buzzing noise, and I know that I did it right. Yeah, I altered the spell a little bit to cover your hair and make-up, but it wasn't that big of a change. But if it makes you feel better, we could get a second opinion."

Buffy smiled with relief. "Okay, I'll go over to Giles' right now."

"No," squeaked Willow. "I'm talking about Oz. 'Cause, you know, wolf hearing and all. If there really is something to hear, then Oz will hear it. I'll call him and ask him to come over."

"Uh-huh," Buffy drawled. "You just want an excuse to call Oz."

"Well, that too!" Willow grinned unrepentantly, and Buffy gave her an indulgent smile.

Half an hour later, Oz arrived at Buffy's house looking very agitated, and completely non-Oz-like. "What have you done to yourself, Buffy? I could hear that horrible buzzing over two blocks away."

Willow quickly filled him in while Buffy looked at her in triumph. "I told you there was a buzzing noise. If the book doesn't mention the noise, maybe there are some other side effects that it also leaves out. I think I should go over to Giles' and have him remove the spell."

"But Buffy... the prom? Cordelia making fun of you? Do you really want the spell removed? You know those hellhounds will leave you all yucky looking..."

Oz looked alarmed, another uncharacteristic expression for him. "You know how much I hate to argue with you, Willow, but I really think that you or Giles should remove the spell. That buzzing is really irritating, and I'm not even in full wolf mode. It's worse than Mrs. Cavanaugh's dog whistle. Maybe humans can't hear it, but I can just about guarantee that that noise is going to drive the hellhounds nuts."

"Well then, Buffy won't have to hunt them down," Willow pointed out brightly. "She can finish her Slaying sooner, and have more time at the prom!"

Oz was unconvinced. "I don't know, baby..."

If you think Buffy should take Willow's advice, because Willow is the resident expert on witchcraft and always knows what she is doing, go to part three.

If you think Buffy should take Oz's advice and go see Giles, cause Oz knows all about canines, go to part six.
