enjoying. Please review.
"Spike!" yells Faith from above. She quickly grabs the weapon and jumps into the sewer to help Spike. "Hey." She calls Caleb to distract him from Spike.
Before Caleb could turn around, Faith swings the sharp weapon slicing Caleb's head off his shoulders. His body moves for a while then trembles as it falls to ground. The head hits a wall and rolls on the ground toward Spike who is still on the floor.
"That was so cool!" says Faith amaze by her triumph. Spike raises his eyebrow. "Need a hand." Faith says indicating to Caleb. She claps her hands.
"Very funny," says Spike. He smiles and Faith helps him up. The two head to the manhole and to exit the sewers.
Faith comes up first and is help by Xander. Buffy pulls Faith toward her as Xander helps Spike up.
"What did you do?" ask Buffy. "And whose blood is that?" Indicating the blood on the Scythe.
"Caleb's," she replies. "I slice his head." Faith smiles.
"Ah, that's not fair," Says Buffy. "I was supposed to do that."
"Hey, things are different here," says Faith. "You got to change stuff. Why can't I?"
"Are you two okay," ask Xander interrupting their conversation.
"Just dandy as." Faith tries to say but Buffy covers her mouth.
"We're good," replies Buffy with a smile. Xander scratches his head and turns around. Buffy glares at Faith.
"Are you trying to get us caught," says Buffy to Faith.
"Just because I'm in Faith's body doesn't mean I can't be myself," says Faith. She walks away from Buffy. Buffy rolls her eyes at her and follows.
They all head for home to regroup with the bookworms. They need to find out some information about the new weapon that Buffy found and that Faith use to kill Caleb. The gang meets up in the dinning room, while the potentials play charades in the living room.
"It's got power that's for sure," says Buffy. "Caleb was pretty freaked when I pulled it out of the stone."
"Oh, did I mention that I cut Caleb's head off," says Faith proud to have done that deed to save Spike.
"That's a good job Faith," says Giles as he takes the weapon from Buffy's hand to have a better look at it. "Willow and I shall find out some information, if any, about this weapon."
"No need to look," says Buffy pulling out a book from a shelf. "Look here." She hands the book to Giles and gives the weapon to Xander.
"How did you know where to look?" ask Giles impress by Buffy's ability to find the information so quickly.
" I remember I saw it one time while we were researching," replies Buffy.
"Great job Buff," says Xander patting her on the back. She looks at Xander then turns to the others.
"Why don't we join the charade game," Buffy suggests. Everyone heads into the living room and sees Spike flapping his arms and growling.
"A Faryal demon," says Anya. Everyone looks at her. "What? They growl."
"Oh, I've got it," says Dawn standing up. "Batman."
"You got it," says Spike. "Bloody hell, I thought I was going to be here all night." Spike gives up on the game and heads to the basement. He passes by Buffy and stares at her.
"I guess you and Spike are going to." Faith whispers to Buffy.
"Shut up," replies Buffy to Faith and walks out of the house. Faith shrugs and sits down on the sofa next to Xander.
"Okay, two words," says Dawn standing in front of everyone. Xander looks to the door, gets up, grabs his coat, and walks out of the house. Faith follows his movements with her eyes. She shook her head as the front door closes.
Outside Xander finds Buffy sitting on the bench on the porch. He rubs his hands together.
"Hey, it's pretty cold out here," says Xander. He takes his coat out and wraps it around Buffy then sits next to her. Xander sighs and looks at Buffy.
"Nice night," says Buffy unable to think of anything to say. Xander nods his head in agreement. 'Oh my gosh. Xander is so hot. I have no idea why Buffy was never attracted to him. How in the world did he get with Anya? I'll never know' Buffy bites her lower lip then turns to Xander.
"Xander," says Buffy. "I know I haven't shown it, but I really love. like you. A lot and that our relationship is much more than just friendship. I'm not telling you this because tomorrow might be the end of the world or anything, but I just wanted you to know how I feel."
"Buffy, you couldn't have said this to me earlier," says Xander. "Like maybe four years ago."
"I know. I should of," says Buffy. "But better late than never." Buffy smiles then kisses Xander on the lips. Her left hand touches his face ever so slightly. When Buffy releases him she heads to the door, but Xander goes up to her. He grabs her by the waist, pulls her close to him and kisses her back passionately.
As he releases Buffy she becomes daze. She enters the house and tries to act normal. Xander smiles and waits out side a minute then enters the house. Giles and Willow come up to Buffy to tell her about an old lady who would know about the Scythe. Buffy grabs her coat and heads to the place where the woman lives.
When Buffy arrives at the old ladies place she begins to tell her some information Buffy/Kat know already. She also made fun of Buffy's name, which is totally not cool.
"Thanks for the info," says Buffy. She heads out and waits outside for a couple of minutes. Through the dark and misty cemetery comes Angel. "It's about time."
"How did you know I was coming?" ask Angel.
"Oh, I could sense you," says Buffy. "Dark, mysterious, and creepy. Yep, that's you." Angel raises his eyebrow then looks at the Scythe.
"Nice weapon you got there," he says.
"Thanks," says Buffy looking at him. "So, what are you doing here?" Angel shows Buffy some papers that has information about the first and a pretty trinket.
"It's a purifying power, possibly cleansing power, probably scrubbing bubbles," Angel says trying to explain the powers of the trinket. He is very unsure about the exact job it does. He also says that a champion must wear it.
"That will be me," says Buffy taking the trinket from Angel. He pulls it back.
"No, it's me," says Angel. "Buffy I'm not going to let you."
"All right," says Buffy. Angel gives a confuse expression. "So, you're going to be with me on this,"
"Shoulder to shoulder," says Angel. "I'm yours." Buffy turns away from Angel and begins to walk through the cemetery. Angel seems shock and follows her.
"I kind of figure you would argue," says Angel.
"No," says Buffy. She turns to him then keeps walking.
"You're taking this way too smoothly," says Angel.
"What, can't I be smooth and agree with you at the same time," jokes Buffy.
"I know you Buffy," says Angel. He pauses for a minute then sighs. "Is it Spike?" Buffy rolls her eyes and turns to Angel.
"Is there something you're not telling me," says Angel? "I sense him on you and Xander too."
"Vampires, don't you know the smelling thing is like gross," says Buffy annoyed with Angel.
"Is he your boyfriend?" ask Angel. Buffy shakes her head and turns away from Angel.
"Spike, no he's just my good and trusted friend," Buffy says sarcastically.
"Buffy," says Angel in a stern voice. He nods his head. Buffy turns and walks away. He follows. "Are you in love with him?" Buffy turns to Angel and glares at him then keeps walking away.
"We're talking about Spike here," says Angel.
"He's different," says Buffy turning to Angel. "He's got a soul."
"Well," says Angel.
"What?" Buffy ask.
"That's great," says Angel with a not so enthusiastic tone. "Everybody's got a soul now." Angel mumbles under his breath. Buffy gives him a look.
"I started it," says Angel. "Having the whole soul thing." Angel sighs then looks at Buffy.
"You gave me the brush off for captain peroxide," says Angel.
"Oh my gosh, are you twelve," says Buffy. "Angel, grow up."
"What about Xander?" Angel ask.
"Angel are you going to go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?" Buffy ask. "And they are not."
"Ha! Boyfriend," says Angel. They're not." Buffy nods her head.
From afar Buffy sees a familiar form, Spike. She smiles as she comes up with an idea.
"I want to give it to you straight," says Buffy turning to Angel. "With no cookie analogies. I'm thinking about the future, but not right now. When I'm ready." She gives him a serious look. Angel somehow understands and nods his head.
"I'm going to walk around," says Buffy.
"Okay," says Angel. Buffy turns and walks away.
Angel turns to walk to the Summer home. On his way he bumps into Spike. He becomes a little angry, but holds it in. Angel rolls his eyes at Spike.
"Spike!" yells Faith from above. She quickly grabs the weapon and jumps into the sewer to help Spike. "Hey." She calls Caleb to distract him from Spike.
