NOW nominated in the 3rd Round Thwack Awards! Thanks!
A/N- I can't begin to thank everyone enough for all the wonderful reviews and suggestions. I am so sorry it has taken so long to get this update out, and it's a short chapter to boot, but here it is. By the way, it will probably be another week before the next update. RL is pretty hectic this coming week. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 6
"Rupert, thank heavens! I've been trying for ages to get a hold of you."
"Wesley? Yes, we've been a bit, um, distracted on our end. I'm rather glad you called."
"Yes, well, we've been rather busy ourselves of late. Do you happen to know Buffy's where abouts at the moment?"
"Well, that's a, uh, a rather complex question at the moment. I don't suppose you know where Angel is at the moment?"
"Well, it seems something rather odd has occurred here Rupert, as Angel is here, but he isn't quite himself just now."
"Yes, well neither is Buffy."
"Rupert, I don't suppose Buffy has been telling you that she's......"
"Angel?"
"Yes, quite."
"Wes, do please tell me that Angel is, um, Buffy."
"I am fairly certain that he is."
"Fascinating...."
"Amazing...."
"Hey! Giles?!?" Suddenly Giles heard Angel's voice on the other end of the phone, in place of Wesley's. "Giles, you have got to get me back. I don't know how Angel does it, but I don't think I can take another testosterone demonstration anytime in the near future."
Just as Giles was going to answer, he heard Wes and Buffy begin arguing over the phone.
Buffy, please let me finish speaking with Mr. Giles and I will gladly let you have it. Wesley
If you don't let me finish, I swear I am going to see just how sharp these fangs are! Buffy
Yes, um, well why don't you give us a shout when you're done then? Wesley
low rumbling growl Buffy
"Buffy? Buffy? Are you there?" Giles called into the receiver
"Yeah, I'm here. Giles why is this happening to me? Again? You have got to get me home!" Buffy said, again snarling slightly. "Oh! Sorry!"
"Buffy, we are researching it now. We will get you back as soon as possible. Now, may I please speak with Wesley again?" Giles asked pointedly
"All right...." Buffy conceded.
Giles heard a muffled thank you and another growl. Then heard the sound of muffled laughter....coming from behind him. He turned to see Spike was sitting at the dining room table, but laughing again. "Bloody vampire senses...." Giles said rolling his eyes as he turned back toward the wall, and Spike started laughing even louder.
"Rupert?" Wes asked
"Yes, I'm still here, but I'm afraid you'll have to speak up. We seem to have acquired a laugh track along the way here." Giles said glancing pointedly at Spike. Thankfully he seemed to take the hint and tried to reign himself in a little.
"Yes, well, I think that we should collaborate our efforts given the situation. Perhaps it would be best if one of our groups headed toward the other." Wes suggested.
"I agree. We should pool our resources together if we are to reverse whatever process has done this. How does Buffy seem to be coping?" Giles asked
"Well, fairly well given the circumstances. I fear she is having a bit of difficulty containing some of Angel's more demonly attributes and, um, desires. And Angel? Wes asked
"As well as to be expected I guess. He seems to be having some problems with Buffy's more human, um, difficulties, as well. Perhaps if we were to bring them together , they could assist each other in adjusting until we can set them back to their proper embodiments." Giles suggested
"Agreed. Seeing as how we can't be sure how long this will take, and it would be unwise to leave the hellmouth ungaurded for an indeterminate amount of time, I suggest that our group make the trek to Sunnydale." Wes said
"I concur. When shall we expect you?" Giles asked.
Before Wes could answer Giles heard Angel's voice in the background talking to Wes again.
Man, I'm hungry Buffy whined
Cordelia just brought you a fresh batch Wesley
You know I'll just puke if I drink that stuff. At least that human stuff at that bar tasted good. Oh my god I just said that. Buffy
"As soon as physically possible" Wesley said, certain he heard more laughter coming from Giles end.
"Yes, well, see you soon then. Goodby." Giles said.
The last thing Wes heard was Giles swearing, "Spike if you don't bloody well shut up...."
