"Maybe they're having a mid-life crisis?" Willow suggested. "You know, you hear about them!"
"You think so?" Buffy asked. Willow shrugged. "Maybe you're right!" Buffy shook her head. "Nah. Remember the way the other teachers were acting today? This has hellmouth written all over it."
"Well, shall we see if it's just the teachers or other adults?"
"Good idea." Buffy looked at the keys in her hand. "We could take Giles' car and cruise the streets and find out. It might be quicker to walk, but well, it is drivies."
After cruising the streets for awhile and seeing that it wasn't just the teachers that were affected, they decided to go and get Oz and then the rest of the gang. They headed over to the Bronze first, as Oz and his band were playing there.
In the Bronze, Buffy and Willow were confronted with a terrifiying sight. The Bronze was full with adults, only they weren't acting like adults. They were not only behaving like teenagers, but were dressed like teenagers, very unflattering. Pushing their way through the partying adults, Buffy and Willow made their way towards the stage were Oz was playing.
All of a sudden, the stage was taken over by some drunken adults. They grabbed the microphone and started singing dirty sailor songs. Oz and his band fled the stage as the male adults started to strip off their shirts. "Urgh. . .will they put their shirts back on!" Buffy grimaced. Willow covered her eyes.
"What's going on?" Oz asked Buffy and Willow.
"I don't know, but this is. . .this is waaay scary," Buffy said.
"Oh my God? Is that. . .is that Giles and Ms Calendar?" Willow pointed with eyes wide, towards two adults dirty dancing up on the stage. The crowd below started to go wild, whooping and clapping, geering both of the adults on, who sure enough were Jenny and Giles. Buffy, Oz and Willow watched in horror, as Jenny and Giles bumped and grinded together on stage. Then Jenny grabbed a bottle of alcohol from a nearby man and started pouring it into Giles' mouth and then kissed him, drinking some of the alcohol from his mouth. Giles took the bottle off Jenny and poured the alcohol over Jenny's chest, dipping his head to lap it up. Buffy gawped as her mother got up on stage and tried to join in with Jenny and Giles.
"What the bloody hell do you want?" Giles asked Joyce.
"I thought maybe we could you know, hang out," Joyce said.
"Ripper and I are busy, fuck off," Jenny said and stared Joyce out. "Why don't you go to someone more in your league, Snyder maybe!" Ripper just laughed at Joyce and went on licking the alcohol off Jenny.
Smiling in victory, Jenny snatched the bottle of alcohol off Joyce, who looking upset, moved off into the crowd. Ripper picked Jenny up and spun around in a circle with her, while she lay back, supported by his hands, and poured the contents of the bottle into the mouths of the crowd that had gathered around them.
"That's enough, I'm stopping this," Buffy vowed and ran towards the stage.
Meanwhile, the males were going wild, cheering Giles on and one of them tried to grab Jenny. Ripper wasn't having any of that, and placing Jenny on her feet, he got hold of the man by the throat, who turned out to be Principle Snyder, and punched him on the nose. Buffy reached Giles at that moment and took hold of both Jenny and Giles' arm, dragging them away.
"Hey get off me!" Ripper growled at Buffy. "And get off Jenny, before I punch you too."
"Oh really. Think about it Giles, I'm the Slayer. Do you really wanna try it?" Giles seemed to reconsider. Buffy took this opportunity to drag them both outside. Willow and Oz followed. Buffy stood in front of Jenny and Giles with her arms crossed. "What do you think you're doing? What was all that about?"
"None of your God damn business," Giles pointed his finger in her face, "Now piss off."
Jenny lit up a cigarette, puffed on it and then handed it to Giles. Before he could put it in his mouth, Buffy snatched it, threw it to the ground and stamped on it. Giles glared at her. Buffy glared back. "You two are going home."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Jenny stepped forward towards Buffy. "We're not going anywhere, except back in there." Jenny pointed to the Bronze.
Wanting to defuse the situation, Willow stepped in between Jenny and Buffy. "Er, Ms. Calendar, I really think it's for the best if you and Giles you know, go home. Something's going on and. . ."
"You need to let your hair down Willow," Jenny butted in. "Come on Willow, why don't you come inside with us and try some cocktails!" Jenny linked her arm through Willow's.
"I. . .I'm not old enough to drink alcohol yet. And I really don't think you should have any more either."
Jenny rolled her eyes and let go of Willow. Moving to Giles, she said, "God! Can you believe this! She so needs to loosen up." Giles put his hands on Jenny's waist and smirked at Willow.
"Urm, what about your mum, Buffy?" Oz reminded.
"Oh, yeah, I'd better go get her. You two stay and watch these. I'll be back in a minute."
When Buffy was out of sight, Giles took hold of Jenny's hand and they both ran off. Willow and Oz took off after them.
Rounding a corner, Jenny stopped in front of a red sports car. "That's cool."
"You fancy it?"
"Yeah. You gonna get it for me?"
"Damn right I am." Ripper picked up a trash can and smashed the window. Ignoring the alarm, he unlocked the doors and he and Jenny quickly got in.
Willow and Oz arrived just as Ripper was hot-wiring the car. Willow was ready to try and intervene, but Oz held her back. "Don't. You'll only get hurt. Let's go back and get Buffy."
It was ten minutes later when they found Buffy with her mum and a wimpering Snyder. "Where's Giles and Ms. Calendar?"
Willow and Oz looked guiltily at each other. "Er, they ran off," Willow said.
"Well, why didn't you follow them and bring them back?"
"We tried, but they er. . ." Willow trailed off, not wanting to tell Buffy the rest.
"Willow?"
Oz stepped in and said, "Giles broke into a red sports car that Ms. Calendar liked, hot wired it and they took off."
"You think so?" Buffy asked. Willow shrugged. "Maybe you're right!" Buffy shook her head. "Nah. Remember the way the other teachers were acting today? This has hellmouth written all over it."
"Well, shall we see if it's just the teachers or other adults?"
