Fifteen minutes later at the meeting

In the library

Xander came back from the bathroom and opened the door to the library when he felt someone standing behind him. He turned around and looked into the smiling face of Cordelia.

"Hey, Cordy," Xander greeted her.

"This is great. There's an unkillable wannabe demon in town, Buffy is still a basket case and Faith's, uh, might have joined his team . . . normally I'd say we've hit rock bottom . . ." she grinned sexy at him, ". . . but . . .?" she asked with expectations.

"I have a plan," Xander simply replied.

"Oh, yes! I knew we could count on you . . . our own GI Joe." Her eyes flashed a sexy hint. "I'm anxious to know what your military brain has come up with this time. Are we again going to a Army base? I could play your girl again," she asked excited.

"You're definitely dressed for it, C, real trashy," Faith quipped.

Cordelia ignored her sharp remark and continued, "Care to let me in on the plan I'm a part of?"

"No."

Cordelia blinked, but regained herself quickly, "Oooh, leaving me in the blind again . . ."

"Uhm, no, Cordy. I mean, you're not in the plan."

Cordelia blinked. "What?" she replied insulted and disappointed.

Xander sighed. "I'm not going to the military base again."

Cordelia relieved of not being left out completely as she frowned a bit. "Why not? Don't you need one those weapons which turns a girl on. We are talking about a major demon here, we at least need something heavy."

"It would be too suspicious to steal there again and I don't need it. But don't worry, Cordy. We still need you."

Cordelia brightened again and leaned to his ear, rubbing her hard nipples in his back while she whispered with a sexy tone, "I'm all yours . . . Private Harris." She walked away towards the chair next to Wesley and sat down, crossing her legs.

Xander eyes widened and he stumbled into the library while Faith frowned.

Xander watched the room and saw Wesley sitting at the table. He suddenly felt a hand clapping on his shoulder. "I thought about it, Xander . . . your plan, uh, it has merit. It is, uh, well thought out. Explain it to the rest of the group."

Xander blinked at the compliment as Giles walked over to an approving Wesley and sat next to him at the other side.

Xander tried to shook out his surprise as he felt another hand slapping his back. Xander almost tumbled over by its force. "My Xander-shaped friend," greeted the excited blond Slayer. "I'm anxious to know what you have come up with. If even Gillie thinks it's great then it must be something."

Xander turned around and saw the bright and funny face of Buffy while Giles raised his eyebrows.

"I only hope that you don't want to wash him away," she quipped making a move with as if shooting with a huge watercanon. Xander blinked and faced Faith who just shrugged with an innocent look.

The rest of group looked at Buffy as if she was crazy. "She must still overcome her grief about losing Angel," Giles whispered to Wesley and he nodded back.

Buffy sat down next to Cordelia as Willow entered the room. Xander gulped a bit at the look on her face. But her typical resolved face turned into smiling one. "You're the best, Xan. No matter what happens, I know I can always count on you. You *know* I will always love you," Willow said sweetly as she turned to Buffy and sat down.

Faith grinned as Xander's short stunned blank stare unconsciously turned towards her face and she walked over to sit on a chair next to Willow.

Cordelia eyebrows narrowed for a short moment as she didn't miss Faith's grin.

Xander shook his dizzyness away and sat down on a chair with his back to the door, facing the others as Angel walked out of the shadows and sat down next to Faith. "Explain that plan of yours. Hope this time it won't hurt me," Angel simply said while Faith elbowed him in his ribs. Xander's still somewhat dazed stare changed into a proud one as he saw Angel gulping when the rest of the girls gave him the same angry, warning look.

Xander explained his plan to the group. Every time Buffy and Willow nodded gently and respectfully. Giles even gave him a compliment on one of his ideas. It made Xander more nervous then he already was.

Cordelia was flashing him hot smiles. She wore a very short skirt with above it a tight shirt and a nice blouse, it didn't hide her nipples as she was pressing them through it every time he was watching her. During the extra long duration of his explanation she had her legs crossed. Despite this sight, he moved his eyes over to Faith on occasion. She claimed his eyes with the mere effort of licking her lips seductively. The two of them gave him a hard time trying to stammer through his speech.

When he finally finished his tale he wiped some drops of sweat from his forehead and sighed. "Uh, what do you think of . . . it. . . .?" Xander asked as his breath got stuck when his sight accidentally trailed down, seeing Cordelia switching her crossed legs over, revealing she wasn't wearing panties . . .
