Chapter Ten

Buffy and Willow looked down at the little girl who was Cordelia. She was so cute and sweet, unlike the teenage Cordy. Cordy kept grinning, it was contagious that everyone else started to grin also.

"Giles what are we going to do? I can't undo the spell because it would turn me back into a little kid." Willow said.

"I think we should figure this out tomorrow, since it is five o'clock. We will then look up an answer in the books." Giles thought out loud. "Now who is going to take care of Cordelia?" He said looking around the room.

"I will. I'm sleeping over at Buffy's, so she can come too. Besides, she is so cute and adorable. Who wouldn't like her?"

"Yeah, and besides she will want to be with girls rather than boys." Buffy agreed.

As Buffy and Willow escorted her out, Cordy was getting scared. She didn't want to be with all these big people. She wanted to be at home in her own bed, with her parents at parties, so that she could do what she wanted. With her father being rich, she got whatever she wanted. It was so much fun to be the popular kid in school, even if it was just for her money. She did want people to like her for who she was she just wanted to be popular. She could put others down and feel good about herself, because everyone wanted to be her.

Cordy followed Buffy and Willow to Buffy's house. They had told her she was sleeping over at Buffy's, but not that it was a small house like this.

"I'm not going in there. It's too small, and looks too poor. I don't like it."

"Cordelia, this is Buffy's house." Willow told the little girl. "You shouldn't make fun of people, they don't like it. Actually they hate it and hate you for it. That is why most kids at school don't like you, you make them feel bad. Come on, do you want to stand out here and let the vampires snack on you?" Cordy ran up the steps to the door. She ran inside just as soon as Buffy opened the door.

Two Weeks Later

Cordy looked up from her schoolwork, she saw that Shaun was leaning over her. He grabbed her math worksheet and ripped it in half. Since the teacher wasn't looking, she would be blamed for this like all the other stuff he had done. Shaun hated her and she knew it. She had started school a week and a half before, since no one could turn her back. She didn't mind actually, she had made tons of new friends at school. And when she came home, she went home to Buffy and Joyce. Joyce was kind of like her mom. Cordy stared at the ripped in half worksheet that she had worked so hard on. She felt tears begin to slide down her cheeks.

"Is little Cootie gonna cry? Yes she is, your such a baby Cootie face." Shaun ran back to his seat as the teacher looked around the class. She saw Cordelia crying and came right over.

"Are you alright Cordelia? I see that you ripped your paper in half, you will have to sit in timeout for that."

"But Cordy didn't do it, Ms. Sharon. It was Shaun. He had done all the other stuff too. He was the one who put red dye in the fish tank and put glue in the pencil jar and"

Katie was one of Cordy's new friends. As Katie started talking, almost all the kids in her fourth grade class, including some boys, stood up and started telling about how it wasn't Cordy's fault and that Shaun was the one who did it.

"All right already. I'm sorry I blamed it all on you Cordelia, Shaun come with me we are calling your parents. Class while I'm gone do your work. Cordelia there is an extra worksheet on my desk."

Cordy smiled at all her new friends. Katie ran up to the desk and brought the worksheet back to Cordy. Everyone went back to his or her work.

It had taken a few days to make Cordy understand that you just have to act like yourself and others will like you. When she went to school, she used the advice and made lots of new friends. She never made fun of others and loved her life.
