Author's Note: Ok I am soooooo sorry it took me this long to write this but my damn laziness got in the way, then school started then work, I am still pressed for time as I help build my parent's house. So I will try to get these parts out.
My thanks to my Beta Reader: Brooke and to those who have given my feedback: Michael, Xandman, Wicked Raygun, Candy, Prince Charon, Draxar, Jonathan, Shawn, Lysander, and Rose. If I left anyone out email me and I'll be sure to add you to the list.
5:45 a.m.
Xander continued to try and pull down on the workout clothes but they kept moving back to their mini position of revealing.
"I still don't see why you chose this instead of Faith's clothes she seemed to do fine in them."
"Well, first off, Xander if you wore Faith's clothes you would be more restricted in movement. You aren't use to wearing tight leather pants and they would slow you down as Giles tests you. Secondly, I am sure you don't want to get chaffed as you start to sweat and having that leather rubbing against your legs. Third, that top gives you more support for you newly acquired assets and it will help with your balance than Faith's flimsy shirt would. And finally I am still taking you shopping for clothes." She said grinning.
"Ah come on Buffy can't we just use my clothes. I just need to get a smaller belt." Xander whined.
"Nope, no can do. Once the Slayer mind is set, it follows through. SO I would shut up if I were you unless you want me to take you shoe shopping as well."
"Dear God, NO!!! You wouldn't?!"
"I CAN and I might." She said as opened the door to the magic box.
Giles heard to his two charges come in while search through one of his ancient tomes. "Ah Buffy, Xander," he said as he looked at his pocket watch. "Right on time, I have the training room set up. So if you would please go and warm up I will be with you shortly."
"Umm . . . Giles, are you sure I should take the test? I mean tests and me don't mix that well. Just look at my grades from High School." Xander asked a little nervously.
"Nonsense Xander. I am sure you will do fine, just relax and it will all be over in three hours."
"Yeah Xand. You can do it and I will be there to make sure you don't get hurt or hurt someone. If I know the glorified tweedmeister here, he will want to test your weapons' skills."
"Cool weapons. HEY Wait a minute! Did you say three hours?!"
"Yes Xander, I did, is that a problem?" Giles asked.
"Damn skippy it is! There ain't no way in hell I am missing my Power Rangers rerun. Today is the day Tommy becomes the White Ranger. So unless you have a TV, you can kiss my butt goodbye mister because I won't be here."
"Eww Xander! Bad mental image."
"Err . . . Hehe . . . sorry. Anyway I am serious Giles no PR no tests. It's bad enough I have to spend my weekend as a girl but having me take a test on a Saturday and missing Power Rangers is threading on thin ice my friend."
Giles sighed. "Alright Xander I will let you watch this infernal show but we will continue the test after that. *Damn it! Teletubbies comes on at the same time! Blast that Saban! If he had stuck with the original characters instead changing the story and the characters so many freakin' times. I wouldn't be missing the only True British Television show. * Giles thought.
"Umm . . . G-man . . . Earth to tweed. The Teletubbies have landed." Xander said as he waves his hand in front of the former watcher.
"Teletubbies! Where?! I must meet them!" He shouted.
Buffy and Xander both stared at him a little worried.
"Oh Drat! I spaced out again. Did I mention something about Teletubbies? If I did, I was only referring to them because the Council actually believes that they are real and I was once apart of the research team." Giles half lied.
"Oookay. Giles, for the record, Tbs are the scariest and most disturbing display of children's TV I have ever seen. I think they are the reason kids this days have such a low IQ and it is not because of violent cartoons." Xander voiced his opinion of those things.
"Yeah I am with Xander on this one. I caught Spike watching."
"Really? That proves that the show is created by evil megalomaniacs hell bent on taking over the world."
"Well, shall we get started on the trial." Giles said trying to change the subject from his beloved television show.
"Yeah, let's get over with. The sooner we finish the sooner I can take Xander shopping for clothes." Buffy grinned.
"Damn it, Buffy. I was so looking forward to ending this test early. Now I am starting to rethink my strategy." Xander groaned as they headed for training room.
Three hours and one Power Ranger Rerun later
Buffy and Xander were whipping the sweat from their thirty minute sparring session. Giles was getting water from the refrigerator.
"I must say Xander you did an excellent job. You have proven to have the skills and abilities of a Slayer especially sparring against Buffy."
"Thanks for the encouraging words G-man but I think I got my butt whooped by the Buffster."
"Xander you may have lost to Buffy at each round but you must look at the underlining meaning of your match."
"Yeah Xand. I was hard pressed against you in conventional fighting. You fought so well that I had to improvise to beat you. The other reason I won was because I have more experience in fighting."
"Quite true Buffy. This is new to you, Xander. Your body is adapting to the changes and powers you now possess with proper training you would be as good or maybe even better than Buffy." Giles said.
"Yeah, no kidding. The whole having breast thing is throwing me for a loop with all that bouncing and hair slapping me in the face."
"See. I told you the workout suit was better. If you thought that bouncing was bad, try fighting without support and then you can talk about irritating." Buffy stated.
"Xander, there is one more test you must perform." Giles said from across the room.
"Great more tests. Well, Giles, go ahead and throw it at me. What's next?"
"This." He said as he threw a dagger toward Xander's head.
Xander and Buffy just stared in shock as they looked at the dagger that he stopped an inch from his face.
"Excellent Xander! I knew you could do it!" Giles cheered.
Xander's face slowed started to contort in anger as his brain started to function again.
"Excellent?!" He shouted as he stalked the British man, who in turn started to back into a bench. "Giles, you think throwing a knife at my head is a great test for me then you are sorely mistaken! If you EVER do something like that again. I SWEAR by all that is holy I will make sure you know what is like to lose your manhood . . . PERMANENTLY!" As he said venomously while stabbed the dagger into the bench between the former watcher's legs then turning to leave. All Giles could do was gulp at the new Slayer's promise.
"Woah! Deja vu." Buffy said before her on anger started to surface. "Giles! What were you thinking whatever happened to no more of the Council's insane tests?!"
"I am . . . I am sorry Buffy. I got so excited I didn't realize what I was doing. I guess I wasn't thinking through all the prospect of temporarily having a second Slayer again."
"Well think harder next time. And it isn't me, who you should apologize to." She said as she looked in the direction her friend left. "I am going to see if he is ok. We will talk more about this later."
"Yes. Please do that and I will continue to look for a cure. It is the least I can do after what I did."
"All right, why don't you call Willow and see if she can help." She said as she left.
Author's Note: For the record, I did like the Power Rangers! That was until Saban started changing the characters, the storyline and using the same plot. ARGH!!! The other reason I no longer like it was because it was one of the reason's Sonic the Hedgehog was cancel from Saturday morning cartoons. As far as Teletubbies goes I am siding with Xander on this one.
