Xander is in his apartment in deep and painful thought of what he has found out about Buffy, his so-called best friend. Buffy had slept with Spike and there is no way in taking that back. He is disgusted by all of it, even the Anya and Spike thing.
"Why didn't I stake him," Xander says to himself. "Because of Buffy, that's why." He nods his head and ponders about the situation some more.
There is a knock at the door. Xander gets up and opens the door. There is Buffy in a black shirt showing her mid drift. Xander rolls his eyes at her and gestures her to come in. Buffy closes the door behind her. Xander turns around toward Buffy and walks up to her.
"Buffy you're a slut," says Xander. Buffy is in shock to hear this from Xander. "And I'm glad that you and I never got together. I should of known this all along." He nods his head. "Now would you leave?" Xander turns away from her. Buffy bows her head and turns to the door.
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out," says Xander as Buffy exits his apartment.
Buffy wakes up from her daydream and takes a deep breath. She heads toward Xander's apartment. It takes her a second or two to compose herself to knock on the door. Xander opens the door. Buffy enters and follows him. Xander returns to the chair he had been sitting on for the last couple of minutes.
"Xander," says Buffy in a soft voice.
"Don't," says Xander looking away from her.
"Anya was hurting and she..." says Buffy.
"You know very well that this has nothing to do with Anya," says Xander with a serious expression. Buffy bows her head and looks straight at Xander.
"You're mad at me," says Buffy. "I never meant for you to find out this way. I was lost. When I came back..." she sighs and stands up.
"I couldn't talk to guys about the way I felt," says Buffy.
"You didn't give us a chance," says Xander. "We would of..."
"No," says Buffy nodding her head. "You wouldn't have listen. You wouldn't have understand."
"And Spike did," says Xander. Buffy nodded. "Buffy we're your friends. We use to know everything about each other."
"Now we don't," says Buffy. She stands up and heads over to the door. Buffy stops at the door then turns around. "I'm sorry about you and Anya." She exits his apartment.
Later on, Buffy comes home from a battle that left her sore. Her arm was the part of her body that hurt the most. She heads up stairs into the bathroom. Buffy let's the hot water run. When she turns around she sees Spike at the doorway. Buffy rolls her eyes and puts her hand in the water to check the water temperature. Spike gives a grin and walks in slowly.
Meanwhile, Xander does not go to Bronze like he wanted to, he heads to Buffy's to apologize. When he enters the house he sees Spike's duster on the stairs railing. Xander quickly runs up stairs with it. He finds Buffy in the bathroom with Spike on top of her and Buffy in tears.
"You son of bitch," says Xander. He grabs Spike and pushes against the wall. Buffy squirms into a tiny ball in a corner of the bathroom.
"Xander don't," says Buffy. Xander is about to punch Spike. He then looks at Buffy with an angry expression. Then he lets go of Spike.
Spike looks at Buffy, grabs his duster, and leaves. Xander stares at Buffy. She gets up and hugs him crying on his shoulder. Xander sighs then wraps his arms around her.
"Buffy," says Willow coming to the door. Buffy quickly clears her tears and looks at Willow. "What's going on?"
"Nothing," says Buffy. She looks at Xander then returns to look at Willow.
After Buffy took care of the trio, Xander comes to the house and finds Buffy poking the flowers to see if there are anymore cameras of Warren and his buddies.
"Look. It's Xander," says Tara watching from the window inside of their bedroom. Willow goes over to the window.
"Maybe they are going to make up," Willow says. "Like we did." The two smile and get snuggly.
Back outside Xander walks over to Buffy. Buffy senses Xander come from behind her. Xander attempts to grab Buffy from behind trying to scare her, but she had something up her sleeve. Buffy quickly turns around before Xander grabs her and wets him with the hose. The two laugh. Xander grabs the hose and Buffy turns it off.
"I'm all wet," says Xander. "Give me a hug Buff."
"No Xander," says Buffy. "You're all wet."
"That's what I said," says Xander chasing Buffy across backyard. Buffy drops the hose and turns to Xander.
"Xander don't," says Buffy backing away from Xander. She trips over the hose on the ground then Xander falls on top of Buffy. She smiles at him and he smiles back.
"Why do I always fall for the wrong guys?" Buffy asks.
"It's a curse for all that live on the hell mouth," says Xander. "For the guys it would be wrong girl." Xander gets up and helps Buffy up. The two head over to the bench and sit down.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my things," says Buffy. "It's just that I..."
"I understand Buffy," says Xander. "I do. Just next time. Feel free to share. I'll be there for you." Buffy smiles and then they hug.
"Okay slayer. You think you've won," says Warren coming into the yard with a gun in his hand. Buffy and Xander freak a bit.
"Warren you don't want to do this," says Buffy.
"Guess again," says Warren pulling the trigger. He shots twice. Both were not very good aims.
Xander pushes Buffy to the ground and drops to the ground as well. One of the bullets scratches Xander on the arm. As he falls to the ground Buffy sees Xander bleeding.
"Xander," says Buffy. "You're bleeding." She looks at Warren who is mad that he did not get the slayer, but made Buffy angry. Buffy gets a grip of the hose quickly and squirts him with the hose on the face. Then she twirls the hose like a rope and hits the gun from his hand. The gun falls to the ground then she smacks him with the hose on the face.
Buffy goes up to Warren on the ground. He raises his head and sees Buffy really angry. She punches him in the nose allowing his nose to spurt out with blood. Buffy looks up at the house window and sees a whole in it. Her eyes widen. Xander followed where she was looking. He quickly gets up.
"Willow," says Xander.
"Tara," says Buffy. The two run into the house and up the stairs. When they arrive to the room they slowly walk in.
"Oh, no," says Buffy.
