Switched Chapter 5
The next morning Buffy heads upstairs into the kitchen. She finds Faith in the kitchen. She smiles at Buffy and tries not to laugh. Buffy gives her a hard look then ignores her.
"Hey, is Spike down there?" Faith ask. Buffy pulls out a bowl from the cupboards.
"Yeah," replies Buffy looking at Faith.
"So, same plan," says Faith about saving the world.
"Yes," says Buffy. "But we still need to figure a way out of here. We may have Buffy's and Faith's strength, but we are sure not capable of surviving this apocalypse." She grabs the cereal box and pours it into the bowl.
"How are we going to do it?" ask Faith about getting out of the Buffy reality before they have to save the world. Buffy goes to the frig and pulls out the milk.
"We'll just go through the motions," says Buffy pouring milk into her cereal. "And we'll take a peek at some of Willow's books about wishes."
"Sounds good," says Faith turning around and facing the basement door. She begins to walk toward the door.
"What are you doing?" ask Buffy grabbing a chair and sitting down. Faith turns to Buffy with a grin. "Spike is sleeping."
"I know," replies Faith as she opens the basement door and heads down the steps. She sees Spike facing the wall on the bed. She then searches around the basement with her eyes for something. Faith finds it, the duster, alone next to the bed. Faith quietly sneaks over to where the duster lays without disturbing Spike.
It's a nice and comfortable duster. Though it was worn out, it looks cool. Faith picks it up and puts it on her. She feels the skin touch her skin and feels the warmth that it brings to her body.
"You better take it off," Spike mumbles. Faith's eyes widen and look at Spike who is still facing the wall. He turns around and sneers at Faith. Faith gives a quick smirk and starts to back away slowly.
"Well, I guess you'll have to catch me first," says Faith. She quickly races up the stairs and out the back door. Spike immediately follows her. He comes up from the basement furious.
"She's a dead slayer," says Spike. "Where did she go?" Buffy looks at Spike and swallows her spoon full of cereal.
"Try the front door," says Buffy with a smile. Spike places a grin on his face then heads over to the front door. He finds Faith just about to open the door. She gives him a sweet smile and begins to back away from him.
"Come on Spike," says Faith. "You know it looks better on me." She models the duster for Spike.
"Fine, keep it," says Spike with a serious face. "Just give me my cigarettes." Faith begins to search for them in the many pockets of the duster.
"Where do keep 'em?" ask Faith.
"Come here," says Spike. Faith comes closer to Spike. He quickly grabs her by the neck. "Are you amused by this?" Faith smiles and coughs a little to try to talk.
"Yeah, a little," replies Faith.
"Take it off," says Spike.
"You'd like that wouldn't you," Faith jokes. She grins. "It's a girls jacket not a guys." She kicks him in the crouch and Spike releases Faith. Faith gives a smile and pulls him outside then closes the door on Spike.
"Whoa!" says Faith in relief. She turns around and suddenly Buffy appears right in front of her. Buffy gives Faith a look.
"Faith let him in," says Buffy in a calm voice.
"Ah, come on I'm just playing with him," says Faith. "Hey, he tried to choke me. That was so not cool. He deserves a punishment."
"Faith," Buffy says in a stern voice.
"Alright, gee," says Faith upset that her playtime is over. "I thought you didn't like him. Why are you being so nice to him?"
"I don't know," says Buffy. "I guess he's growing on me." Faith gives Buffy a serious look then she opens the door. Spike runs in.
"I'm burning," Spike shouts. Buffy pulls off the duster off of Faith and hits Spike with it to try to put the fire out. Spike falls to the ground.
"You okay," ask Buffy to Spike. Spike gets up. Buffy hands him his duster and he puts it on. He looks at Buffy then at Faith. Faith begins to back away.
"You two behave or else," says Buffy to both Faith and Spike. Spike glares at Faith and Faith gives a smirk. The two then head into the dinning room with the rest of the scobbies. Buffy calls out a meeting to tell them her plan to defeat the First. She had figured it out just like the real Buffy did. Thanks to the conversation with the First last night.
"Buffy, this goes beyond anybodies capacity. No one has ever done this before," says Giles after he hears her plan. He pauses for a moment in front of Buffy.
"So, what do think," ask Buffy.
"I think it's bloody brilliant," says Giles with a smile.
"Really," says Buffy smiling.
"Way to go B," says Faith with a reassuring smile. Everyone agrees. Though Willow seems a little shaken up about the whole idea.
"Buffy can I talk to you?" ask Xander walking up to her.
"Yeah, sure," replies Buffy. Xander leads her outside. Buffy closes the front door and Xander walks across the porch. Buffy gives a confuse look.
"Buffy," says Xander facing her. "You aren't Buffy." Buffy's eyes widen.
"What are you talking about Xander," says Buffy. Xander walks to the bench on the porch.
"You can't be Buffy," says Xander. "Buffy would never..."
"Kiss you," says Buffy finishing his sentence. "I didn't think that this would make a difference."
"Who are you?" ask Xander. "Where's Buffy?"
"I'm Kat," replies Buffy. "I don't really know where Buffy is."
"You gotta reverse this," says Xander.
"I want to, but I don't know how," says Buffy. "I kind of made of a wish that I was someone else and here I am."
"How do you so much about Buffy?" ask Xander. "How do you know about us?"
"That's a little complicated," says Buffy. "So what else gave it away?"
"A couple of things," says Xander. "I've known Buffy for seven years. Though the kiss was a dead give away."
"Oops," says Buffy. "I'm really sorry about that."
"I'm not," says Xander with a smile. Buffy smiles too.
"I just don't understand why Buffy never ever wanted to..."says Buffy.
"Date me," says Xander. "I could think about a thousand reasons."
"No you can't," says Buffy.
"You're right," says Xander. "While I still do have feelings for Anya, I still think about Buffy and sometimes I..."
"Something you promise Buffy you would never ever talk about," says Buffy with a smile.
"Yeah," Xander says bowing his head. He still wonders how she knows what he was thinking.
"Well, we need to find a way to get my friend and me out of here," says Buffy. "She's in Faith's body."
"I did notice she was acting a little different," says Xander remembering the little event with Spike a couple minutes ago. "I like your friend." The two laugh.
"We could take a look at some of Willow's books," says Xander. "That will help."
"But I think it would be better if it was between us," says Buffy. "I don't want to worry anybody. I mean I'm sure we can fix this."
"Okay," says Xander. As they head back into the house Xander looks at Buffy and Buffy looks back at him. Xander closes the door. They head their separate ways. Buffy heads into the kitchen and Xander into the living room.
"What did you do?" ask Faith.
"We didn't do anything," says Buffy. "Xander just found out that I'm not Buffy."
"What?" says Faith.
"Don't worry he promises to help us and he won't tell anybody," says Buffy.
"Okay," says Faith.
Later on that night Buffy and Xander sneak upstairs. Willow is downstairs with Kennedy. Buffy and Xander head into Willow's room.
"Stay outside," says Buffy to Xander as she enters Willow's room. Buffy searches through Willow's books.
Outside, Xander is keeping an eye on anybody who comes upstairs, especially Willow. He turns to the room for a minute then turns back to look down the stairs and sees Willow and Kennedy coming up the stairs. Xander quickly runs into Willow's room and closes the door.
"She's coming," says Xander.
"Gee thanks for the warning," says Buffy holding a book. "I think I found it." Buffy looks toward the door then at the closet. "Into the closet. Quick." As they close the closet door Willow opens the door to the room and enters the room. She turns on the lights and sits on the bed with Kennedy. The two sit and talk.
In the closet Xander starts to get a twitch in his noise. Buffy looks at him then covers his nose and mouth.
The next morning Buffy heads upstairs into the kitchen. She finds Faith in the kitchen. She smiles at Buffy and tries not to laugh. Buffy gives her a hard look then ignores her.
