A/N: Ok so i hope the last chapter was a bit easier to read. Keep those reviews coming.


The day was spent looking over book after book, but the time Buffy got home from work the whole living room was taken over by old musty books.

"I take it the research isn't going to well?" Buffy said when she walked into the room.

"Well no" Giles said leaning back to strech his arms.

"We can't seem to find anything about body swaping" Willow said slaming a book closed.

"How have they been?" Buffy asked, as she sat down next to a sleeping Xander on the floor.

"They've been fighting all day, and Spike hasn't been much help with the research." Willow said, looking at Spike sretched out on the couch.

"When did he pass out?" Buffy asked, pointing to Xander.

"Oh about an hour ago, and Anya's in the kitchen."

"Wait!" Giles said, making everyone jump. "I think i found something."

"What!" Dawn said.

"Oh never mind. it takes some pretty powerful magicks. And even then it's a 50/50 chance."

"Well i could...." But Willow stoped in the middle of the sentance.

"What if i called Tara?" Buffy said trying to pull the attention away from Willow. Willow had been off the magicks for some time, and they didn't want her to slip even once. Sometimes they forgot that she was grounded magick wise.

"Yeah call her, she might be able to help." Giles said, taking his glasses off and cleaning them.

"Well i have to hit the loo." Spike said getting up.

"Wait no!" Dawn yelled. "You can't!"

"Oh for crying out loud Dawn! I have to pee, i'm gonna hold it anymore." Spike said.

"They've been doing this all day" Willow whispered to Buffy.

"But Spike!" Dawn wined, following Spike.

"Little bit stop bitching."

"Fine but just don't....ya know....don't look."

"Look?!" Spike said "fine i'll pee with my eyes closed. Oh and no more painting my toe nails!" Spike yelled as he left the room. Everyone looked at Dawn's feet and sure enough there was her toes painted bright purple. It looked extreamly bright, aganist Spike pale white skin.

"What?" Dawn said. "I was bored, and those big boots were heavy so i took them off." She said with a huff and floped on the couch. It was so strange to see the body of Willam the Bloody sitting on the couch pouting, watching cartoons in the middle of the living room. Buffy thought to her self.

"That was nothing." Anya said as she walked in from the kitchen, where she was obvously listen in while she made her sandwich. "You should have seen the fight they had when Spike tryed to drink his morning blood."

"Why?" Buffy asked.

"Dawn was so freaked that it might be fatting, she yelled at him for a good hour."

Buffy laughed, as she got up to phone Tara.


"Ok." Buffy said a little bit later. "I'm gonna go pick up Tara, cause she needs help with carrying a few things. Make sure this room is cleared out by the time i get back. 'Cause i want those two turned back tonight, before they kill each other." Buffy said pointing to Dawn and Spike in the background fighting over the tv.

"Uh Buffy? Do you think you should partiol tonight?" Giles asked.

"I think i'm needed in here more, and i am out there." Buffy said, just as Spike yelped in pain.

"Why'd ya kick me?" Spike asked Dawn, holding his shin.

"Cause, you're being annoying."

"Fine! It's your body that'll be brused tomorrow anyway." Spike said with a smile.

"You better watch it." Dawn said. "Or i'll paint you're finger nails purple too!" With a huff Spike stormed out of the room, muttering something about "bloody insane summers women" as he went.

"I'll go talk to her....uh him.....whatever." Willow said, and followed Spike.

"See what i mean." Buffy said to Giles.

"Yes, yes you're complety right. Ok then see you when you get Tara." Giles said as he turned to the living room, and started picking up the books.

"Oh" Buffy said half way out the door. "And wake him up" She said pointing to Xander, who was still sleeping on the floor with his head on a pile of books.


In the kitchen Willow was trying to confort Spike. "Why do they do that?" Spike asked as he pased the kitchen.

"Do what?" Willow asked, looking a little confused.

"Act like they've lost their bloody minds! Not just them! All women.....No offence." He said looking at Willow, like he was just noticing that she was a female.

"None taken." Willow said, putting her hands up.

With a huff Spike floped against the counter. Willow just stood there not knowing what to do, she had always known how to make Dawn feel better before. But then again this wasn't Dawn, sure it was still her body. But the young, bouncy, happy, usualy mild-tempered 15 year old wasn't there anymore. She had been replaced by a hundred some odd year old, borish, crude, mean, hard british male vampire. That was cold hearted, and proud of it. Looking over and seeing the face of Dawn pouting, almost made her forget that Spike was behind the pout. And she went to hug the little girl that she had huged so many times in the past, before she remembered that it wasn't her Dawnie but Spike.

"Uh Will? Were you just gonna hug me?" Spike asked.

"Uh no." Willow said putting her hand in her pockets. "Ok so maybe i was, but i wasn't hugging you, you." Willow said trying to explane. "I was going to hug that 15 year old that's sitting in the next room watching Roadrunner, and chewing her gum way to loud."

"Yeah i guessed that." Spike said, sounding a little rude.


A/N: Ok that's it for now, tell me what ya think.
