Chapter 3 Santa Baby. Buffy returns to Santa for the second time and makes him really turn red. I thank my fave fanfictioner Tammydevil for this creation.

On the next day, Xander takes Buffy out to lunch. Xander didn't seem to be a talking mood, so Buffy decided to start the conversation.

"So, where were you yesterday?" ask Buffy. "I was looking for you all day."

"I was working a couple extra hours," says Xander as he takes a bite of his hamburger.

"Really," says Buffy. "Did anyone come by to see you?"

"Um, Angel and William came by," says Xander. "That's all."

"Oh," says Buffy sticking a fry into her mouth. "Well, thanks for lunch. I gotta go. See you later baby." Buffy kisses Xander on the lips.

Buffy later meets up with Cordy and Willow at the same mall they were in yesterday. She told them about her lunch with Xander and that he didn't say anything about what happen yesterday at the mall.

"Maybe he's trying to keep it a secret from you," says Willow. "And he didn't want to say anything."

"Although what you said to him would most likely make him say something," says Cordy. "I mean, to him it would be like if you were flirting with another man."

"Or maybe you were wrong," says Willow. "Maybe that Santa wasn't him."

"Willow that's not possible," says Buffy. "Of course it was him. They did a dam good job with the makeup but it had to be him. It was the last mall. We checked them all."

"Okay Buffy," says Willow. "Whatever you say. I gotta go and get some presents for some people who will remain nameless."

"You getting my Christmas present today," says Buffy grabbing her arm. "Willow."

"Yeah so you go and behave yourself for the rest of the day," says Willow. "And maybe I'll get you something nice."

"I gotta go too," says Cordy. "My mom is teaching me how to cook something. She really gets into the season. When you marry Xander you'll take my place. That will be a great Christmas present."

"Fat chance Cordy," says Buffy. "You're mom wants me as far away from the kitchen as possible. Remember Thanksgiving."

"Oh yeah," says Cordy. "Rats." Willow laughs.

"Oh, a computer store," says Willow as she ignores her friends and enters the store.

"Bye Willow," says Cordy. "She picks computers over us."

"We will lose her to technology," says Buffy. Cordy says bye and heads out of the mall to meet her fate at her mother's kitchen. Buffy strolls around the mall and finds herself near the Santa expedition again. She quickly gets in line and Santa sees her.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rocks..."

When she arrives to sit on Santa's lap, Santa rolls his eyes but Buffy didn't see it.

"Santa I need to confess something," says Buffy.

"This isn't a confessionary," says Santa.

"I know, but I just need to get this off my chest," says Buffy. "I've been a very bad girl this year and I'm just seeking for forgiveness." Buffy rubs Santa's knee and looks at him with an innocent face.

Santa coughs a little then looks down at Buffy's hand, which keeps creeping up towards his thigh. He grabs her hand quickly and pushes it away.

"Would you forgive me Santa?" ask Buffy with a smile.

"Yes, of course," Santa says with difficulty.

Meanwhile in the computer store Willow is in heaven. She bents down to pick up a piece of paper when someone bumps into her.

"Oh I'm sorry," they both say at the same time. Willow looks at the person and realizes that it's William.

"William," says Willow. "What are you doing here?"

"Just looking at the new models of computer. They came out this year," replies William. "And you?"

"Same," says Willow. "I didn't know you were into computers."
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me," says William.

"Like what?" ask Willow.

"Like I really would want to..." Willow turns to him.

"Have that model," says William pointing at a new computer. Willow looks over to where he is pointing then she starts to walk over to the computer. "Dam." William follows her.

"No, forgiveness is not enough," says Buffy to Santa still wiggling on his lap. "I need a proper punishment if you know what I mean Santa Baby."

"Um," says Santa as he gulps. "I'm sure you weren't that bad. Try to be better for next year okay." Santa picks up Buffy off his lap and she leaves.

The next day Xander comes into the locker room getting off his morning shift at playing Santa Claus. In the locker room he sees Giles, Buffy's dad.

"Giles," says Xander surprise to see him. "What are you doing here?"

"Doing the most humiliating job of my life," says Giles putting his Santa outfit down on a bench. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to get some extra cash to buy Buffy something really nice for Christmas," says Xander.

"Does she know you're playing Santa?"

"No. It's a secret."

"Either Buffy knows that your Santa or Buffy is having an affair."

"With who?"

"Me."
