The Scooby Gang was hanging out in the Magic Box.  Buffy was sitting at one of the large circular tables in complete silence.  How could Spike dump her for Oz.  Then Oz entered the building. 

            The gang greeted him excitedly.  "Oz, you're back," Xander said.

            "Yeah, I was just passing through when I met up with Spike."

            Suddenly Buffy felt like she was going to cry.  "Um guys, can I talk to you for a minute?"

            "Okay," Willow said confused.

            Buffy, Xander, Anya, Tara, and Willow stepped into a back room.  "What's wrong?" Xander asked.

            "Well, last night I was walking around town and I met up with Spike.  I said hi and found out that he was on a date with somebody else," Buffy said.

            "Well, I wouldn't worry about it," Willow said.

            "Yeah, but he was on a date with Oz," Buffy said.

            The other members of the Scooby gang were silent for a moment.  "Well, that's okay," Tara said. 

            "Are you sure that they were on a date?" Anya asked.

            "Yeah, I looked in the window and saw Oz getting redressed."

            "You were looking in the window?" Xander said.

            "I wanted to know who he was with," Buffy explained.

            "I thought you weren't with him anymore," Willow said.

            "I'm not."

            "Then why do you care?" Xander asked.

            Buffy was silent for a moment.  She didn't have an answer.  Why did she care? 

            "Gee, so all this time Oz was gay?" Willow said.

            "So, what should we say to him?" Tara asked.

            "This is going to take subtlety," Buffy said.

            They went back out to Oz.  "So guys what's been up?" he asked.  The gang was silent.  Each one of them was afraid to confront Oz.  They didn't know how he would react to being outed.  What if he got so upset that he turned into a werewolf and ripped them into little pieces?  Buffy had already died twice and she wasn't in the mood for it to happen today.

            Willow was worried that perhaps she had turned him.  What if he had been so upset by their breakup that he had turned to Spike for comfort?

            Xander was officially weirded out.  Not that he was a bigot or anything.  But he knew Oz for years. 

            Of course Tara had no right to speak.  She had stolen his girlfriend away from him.  The two would still be in a happy, normal (by Sunnydale standards) relationship if she hadn't been around. 

            So they stood there in silence until Anya broke the silence by cheerily stating, "So you and Oz stick your penises in each other."
