My Xander Shape Friend 4. Buffy finally convinces Xander to go to the gang and tell them that somehow he's a good vampire.

Buffy is on top of Xander and starts to laugh. Buffy pulls herself up pulling her shirt back on. It's a spaghetti strap shirt and she didn't have a bra on so the jokes on Spike. Buffy then pulls her skirt down and jumps out of the crypt. Xander follows her as he zips his pants and puts his shirt back on.

"Spike," says Xander as he walks over to him. Buffy waits for Xander at the entrance. "You didn't see anything right?" Spike's eyes widen. Xander reveals a smirk and follows Buffy out the crypt.

"Out of my bloody crypt!" Spike shouts. Buffy begins to giggle a little. The two wait outside for little while.

"Well that was nice," says Xander with his head down. "Kind of fast, but worth all the wait." Xander gives a smile to Buffy. Buffy blushes and lowers her head. She grabs Xander's hand and they begin to walk away from the crypt.

They head to Giles apartment and knock at the door. Xander is quickly sticking his shirt back into his pants, while Buffy fixes his hair.

"Okay, let me talk first." says Buffy.

"Oh, Buffy," says Xander.

"What?"

"Your shirt is backwards," says Xander. Buffy's eyes bulge out and she quickly pulls her shirt off to fix it. Xander looks straight at the door. Then the door is about to open as Buffy pulls her shirt back on.

"Giles hi," says Buffy with a big smile.

"Buffy," says Giles. His eyes turn to her companion, Xander. "Xander." Giles almost falls backwards then grabs a stake from a table.

"Giles no!" says Buffy as she stands in front Xander. The stake stops just a few inches from Buffy's chest.

"Buffy!" Giles gasp at Buffy's action. "Are you out of your mind? I could of..."

"Giles, yes Xander is a vampire, but he's good," says Buffy. Giles gives Buffy a look.

"How is that possible?" ask Giles as he pulls away the stake in his hand.

"I don't know," replies Buffy. "I've been patrolling with him for the last couple of weeks."

"So you were with Xander all this time," says Giles. "Leaving Willow and Oz worrying about you every time you disappear from their sight."

"I know, but I always came back," says Buffy. "Giles it's not like I've gone all evil. It's just you guys didn't believe me at the hospital and I thought..."

"It's alright," says Giles. Buffy enters his apartment. Giles heads to the kitchen.

"Um Giles," says Xander still standing outside.

"Oh, sorry," says Giles. "Do come in Xander." Xander enters the apartment and heads over to Buffy. Buffy nods her head and signals him to sit down. Giles peeks out from the kitchen counter. Buffy turns to look at him. "Want anything to drink." Then Giles thinks. 'Xander vampire drinks blood. Bad question.' He bows his head.

"A nice refreshing coca-cola would be nice." Buffy smiles at Xander.

"Make that two Giles," says Buffy. Giles retrieved their drinks and they all sat down on the sofa.

********

"Giles how do you explain this?" ask Buffy.

"Xander must be a special case." Buffy looks at Xander and he shrugs. "I've never heard of a vampire that is turned and still has his soul. At least I think you still have soul."

"Maybe my soul didn't want to go," says Xander with half smile. Buffy and Giles look at Xander both raising an eyebrow. "Never mind. Don't pay any attention to me."

"Well," says Buffy getting up. "There's no harm done. Except that you're dead. He is dead right Giles?" Buffy turns her head toward Giles.

"Yes, of course. At least I believe so." Giles takes off his glasses and cleans them. "Check for a pulse."

"Sure," says Buffy as she walks up to Xander and touches his neck to find a pulse. Xander's deep brown eyes stare at Buffy and Buffy's green eyes grew larger. Giles puts his glasses back on.

"No pulse."

"Huh." Buffy turns her head to Giles again still with her hand on Xander's neck. "No pulse." She pulls her hand away and goes to the farthest chair from Xander and sits on it.

"Well, it's very late now," says Giles. "We'll regroup tomorrow and find out why this is occurring."

"Good idea," says Buffy standing up. She looks at Xander and he stands up too. "I'll see ya tomorrow Giles." Buffy walks by Xander and he is about to follow her when Giles interrupted.

"Xander you could stay here tonight," says Giles as he heads to the guestroom.

"Yeah, thanks Giles," says Xander. He turns to Buffy who is standing by the door. "Let me walk you home?"

"That's okay Xand," says Buffy. "Anyways it's way past your bedtime."

"What?"

"The sun's coming up," says Buffy as a little light begins to penetrate into the room. She touches his face then kisses him on the lips lightly. "Love you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Buffy. Love you too." Xander gives her a smile and lets her go out the door. He backs away as she opens the door letting the light of the sun enter. Buffy waves and closes the door. Xander turns around and sees Giles right behind him.

"Giles!" Xander jumps a little. "How long have you've been there?"

"A while," says Giles.

"All of it," says Xander. Giles nods his head.

"Xander sit down," says Giles. Xander stays still for a while then begins to walk over to the sofa. Giles sits down on the armchair. "Xander, I think we should talk."

"Are you trying to tell me the birds and the bee's thing cause I got it from Will?"

"No, it's not that," says Giles as he takes off his glasses and cleans them. "It's about you and Buffy. She's been through this with Angel and..."

"Yeah, I know Giles, but Angel had a situation. His soul was inconsistent."

"Inconsistent?"

"Yeah, the losing the soul when he gets a happy," says Xander.

"Yes, I know what the word means," says Giles. "But unfortunately Xander you are still presumably dead and an immortal that will never age..."

"I know what you're getting at Giles," says Xander. "But you of all people should know that I've been in love with Buffy from the moment I laid eyes on her. Being with her is all I ever dreamed of."

"Yes, but this still..."

"I know. Giles," says Xander changing his tone to a serious tone. "If I go all evil undead I don't want Buffy to stake me,"

"Xander we are not even sure..."

"You do it for her. I don't want her to suffer again." Xander gets up and heads to the guestroom.

"Xander," Giles calls to him. Xander turns around and faces Giles. "From a perspective of a father figure to Buffy, I thought you would have been a good man for Buffy." Xander gives Giles a smile.

"Thanks," replies Xander.
