Giles and Jenny reentered the library, there search for Amy useless. Xander was still looking for the blonde witch, under Giles' orders. Nevertheless, they were surprised to see the young with standing before them, and a very dazed Cordelia staring at the pile of clothes in the middle of the room.

Giles looked at the pile of clothes, "What, what just happened?"

Cordelia croaked, pointing towards the piles, "Buffy."

As if on cue, a rat ran out of a sleeve. They all knew the animal was indeed Buffy.

Giles gasped, "Oh my God!"

Amy caught sight of Jenny and turned towards Cordelia, "Why is she here?"

"Can you focus for a minute? You just turned Buffy into a rat," Cordelia glared at Amy.

Buffy scurried across the floor while only Giles paid attention to the rat.

Amy walked to the cheerleader and smiled, " Buffy can take care of herself." She ran her fingers over Cordelia's arm, "Why don't we go someplace private?"

Jenny narrowed her eyes at the young witch while placing her hands at her hips. Giles, on the other hand, wasn't paying any attention to their situation, completely engrossed on finding his slayer.

Cordelia pulled her arm away from Amy's grazing fingers and stared at the with a steely gaze, "I'm not going anywhere until you change her back."

Jenny, sensing an opportunity, strolled between the high school students and linked arms with Cordelia, "You heard her. So why don't you undo your little magic trick and get lost?"

Scowling, Amy inquired, "Who made you Queen of the World? Well, you're old enough to be."

"Well, what can I say?" The gypsy replied breezily, her arm enveloping Cordelia's waist, "I guess Cordelia's just too much woman," she tightened her hold on the younger girl, "for the pimple squad."

Cordelia pushed the teacher off of her and screamed, "Get off me! It's like. illegal!"

While the other two women were distracted, Amy shot her arm between them and shoved Cordelia away from Jenny. She waved her hands and started to cast another spell. Her eyes turned obsidian, and energy began to snake around Amy as she chanted, "Goddess Hecate, to you I pray, with this..."

Cordelia muffled the other girl by placing her hand over Amy's mouth, "Would you quit that?!

Meanwhile, Xander was scouring the halls for Amy. He turned the corner and ran into Cordelia's friends led by Harmony. He tried to walk around them, but they circled around, trapping him. They all stared at him balefully.

"What's up?" Xander managed to squeak.

Harmony, hands on her hips, glared at the young man before her, "It's just not right. You never loved her. You just used her." She paused before spitting out, "You make me sick."

In unison, they all stepped forward, closing Xander in.

The young put his hands out to ward them off and gulped, "Now, ladies. this is all just a misunderstanding."

Harmony slapped Xander, and before Xander could register anything, another girl pushed him up against the lockers. The girls finally managed to bring Xander down to the floor, beating the young man.

In the library, Giles noticed the escalated situation between the three women, but he lost track on where Buffy scampered off to.

"You two," the librarian gestured to Amy and Jenny, "help me find the Buffy rat." He turned his gaze toward Cordelia, "I think it's best if you go home and isolate yourself, Cordelia."

"So not a problem," the brunette waved her hand. She grabbed her things and headed towards the door, but something made her pause. She slowly raised her head and called the watcher, "Giles," the older man looked at Cordelia and she continued softly, "keep me posted on the Buffy situation."

Giles nodded, acknowledging the younger girl as she left the library. The two other occupants of the room protested adamently that she didn't go, but no one listened to the the love-crazed women.
