Dawn had already got rid of two of her worst enemies. Her sister Buffy had been the first closely followed by Giles. Now all she had to do was get rid of Willow, Spike and Anaya. Then at last she and Xander could ride off into the sunset together. However saying it was easier than doing it. Willow was a master of magic and Dawn new that in order to kill her she would have to be fast. A gun just wouldn't do Willow justice. No it needed to be something more elaborate. She would electrocute her, yes Willow was always messing about on her computer. All Dawn needed to do was learn a bit about mechanics, which on a TV programme like this took a matter of minutes. Yes, she smiled to herself once she got rid of Willow the rest would fall easily.
Xander Harris walked into the magic box expecting to see Giles. All he saw was a mess and an empty shop. He called for Giles a few times but after no reply he cautiously edged his way into the shop. Xander loved moments like this where he could show off the vague bits of military knowledge that he had managed to retain. The only problem was that he normally managed to goof them up around other people. Especially Anaya, who at the moment he was trying to woo back. He had been stupid to leave her at the alter. Who else was he going to find that would love him for who he was? Well apart from the other strange demon women he seemed to attract. Xander thought about this for a while the only non demon girl he had managed to attract had been Cordy. And lets face it although she had no demon DNA sometimes, especially when she was in a bad mood, she acted like she did. Xander pondered about Cordy for a while, hadn't she gone of to LA or something. He didn't care it wasn't like she wrote or anything. She was probably going out with some really rich guy now shopping in nice shops holding elaborate parties. He scolded himself Xander was perfectly happy where he was. Oh yeah where was Giles?
Dawn had managed to gain a few moments alone with Willow's computer. Now all she needed to do was to re wire the thing and wait for Willow to use it. No one would ever expect that Dawn would have done it. After all she hardly spent anytime at school and when she was there she was either being chased by some monster or standing round in the corridor talking to people that she assumed where her friends. But as in all these moments Dawn had a long wait on her hands. Xander running through the door distracted her from her thoughts. He looked tense and worried, if she had her way she would sort him out. Xander looked around hurriedly. "Dawn have you seen Willow or any one else who might know what to do in a stressful situation." Dawn got up trying to look seductive, but just managed to trip over her feet. Xander laughed. If it had been anyone else Dawn would have killed them right there and then but it was Xander and so forgave him. "Can't I help you Xander? I'm sure whatever it is we can sort it out together." Xander seemed to have ignored this comment and continued to look around for Willow. After a few minutes she appeared from upstairs. Seeing the worried look on Xander's face she rushed down. "What's happened Xander? Is there some kind of demon terrorizing the neighbour hood? A curse on one of our friends? No donuts left at the pastry shop." At the last comment Xander seemed to stop and ponder. "Damn guys that's what you sent me out to do I forgot the donuts." Willow looked less than amused but what more could she expect from a mere mortal like Xander. She could never personally see why Buffy had kept him on the team, all he could do was get caught or cause more of a problem. In fact without Xander Willow could have had the best season finally ever by destroying the world. And now he had turned up yet again to uniform them of some problem. "It's Giles I went to the Magic Box and he'd gone. It looked like there had maybe been a struggle. The only thing I could find was this crappy romance story." Willow sighed, at last she would really be the star of the show, the only person ever really holding her back, apart from Buffy, had been Giles. Only he knew how powerful she had become. To be quite frankly she didn't care where Giles was, as long as he didn't come back. But for appearances sake she needed to at least pretend she cared and was willing to try and find him. "Let's go back to the magic box and look for clues. Dawnie you stay here where it's safe." Dawn grimaced; she was always the one who was forced to stay at home. "I've got a better idea." Xander piped up. Everybody turned to stare at him. Normally Xander's ideas were rubbish and this one would probably prove to be no different. "I'll call Anaya and we'll go to the Magic Box to look for clues. You and Dawn stay her and check out that book on the internet. Perhaps it's some vital clue." For a while everyone stared at Xander. He had actually come out with a semi good idea. Although everybody knew that he just wanted to get some time alone with Anaya. Willow smiled, "That's a great idea Xander. You guys go to the Magic Box and I'll stay here and look for information on the net." That would at least save her the effort of pretending to care. She could type away on her chat rooms while she made Dawn go upstairs and do some menial task. They would never know, the only one of them who knew anything about the net was Dawn and she would be out of the way. "I'll just get searching then." Willow reached out for her lap top and began to type. But before she knew it she felt a sharp pain surged through her.
