"Ding Dong". The Summer's front door rang.

Opening it Buffy finally got to see the costume Xander had been
hiding from the rest of them. She couldn't help but think how cool
it looked. "Buffster, Lady of Buffdom."

He sang before bowing before her. "Why thank you kind sir." She
played along with him. "So where's Willow?" His voice called from
under the gray helmet.

"Oh, she's coming. And I think you're going to be impressed with her
outfit." The blond slayer told him with a smile. She would so love
for him and Willow to finally hook up. They'd make such a cute
couple.

"Really? And here I thought she'd go as a ghost like she has for the
last three years." Before Buffy could argue the young redhead called
out to them from the top of the stairs.

"Well that's a very impressive boo you've got there." He called out
to her. The young slayer couldn't help but sigh in defeat. "Well
come on, we've got babysitting duty to get to."

Something they were all thinking, how very unfair it was for that
little troll Snyder to make them watch over all the kids from the
neighborhood.

Willow and Buffy walked a bit further ahead of Xander, they wanted
some time alone to talk. "What happened to your other costume?" The
slayer asked.

The redhead just shook her head, "I can't go out in public wearing
that. Maybe next year, I just can't." She said somewhat ashamed of
how shy she could be sometimes.

"But how do you expect to catch Xander's eye if you don't at least
try and get his attention?"

She scuffed, "Didn't you see his outfit? I mean he looked drool
worthy! Why would he want me?" He couldn't, she thought. Willow knew
he'd never see her as anything but a friend.
