Chapter 3. Buffy needs to find this demon who has everyone except Xander under a spell. Sorry for the delay. This is the final chapter.
"Where did he go?" ask Xander. "He couldn't have just disappeared. I mean could he do that." Xander turns around and sees Buffy leaning against a wall. "Buffy."
"I don't feel so good," says Buffy.
"Maybe you should rest," says Xander. Buffy then tries to walk and almost falls, but Xander grabs her. "I'll track the snout demon."
"No, Xander. It's too dangerous," says Buffy. "You can't take him yourself. He's too strong."
"Okay, then I'll take you home." Xander picks Buffy up and carries her to her house.
No one is home at Buffy's and it's a good thing. Xander lays Buffy on the sofa. Buffy looks at him and grabs his hand.
"Feel me. Do you think I'm warm?" Xander feels her forehead and feels Buffy is really warm.
"Yeah, you are. You don't usually feel like this after a fight."
"No. I don't know what it is. Do you think it could be part of the spell?"
"Could be." Xander stands up.
"Where are you going?" Buffy reaches for his hand.
"The kitchen." He grabs a hand towel from a closet and wets it in the faucet with cold water. Xander returns to the living room and kneels down next to Buffy. He puts the towel over her forehead.
"How come you didn't you get affected?"
"I guess I've grown immunity to all hypnotics and spells." Buffy laughs.
"I can't just lay here and do nothing. I have to find him and break the spell."
"You're in no condition to fight Buff. Just relax."
Suddenly they hear a knock at the door. It startles them both. They both then look at each other and wonder who would be knocking at the door. They are so use to everyone just coming in, even the demons. Xander stands up and head over to the door. He looks through the peek hole and sees a crowd of people. Xander checks the lock on the door and then looks at Buffy.
He quickly goes over to her with a very worried look on his face.
"Xander who's at the door?" ask Buffy.
"I think it's for you," replies Xander as he picks Buffy up from the sofa.
"What?" Buffy wraps her hands around Xander's shoulder as he takes her to the back door. They then start to see people banging on the all the windows of the house even the back door.
The people keep repeating 'We hate Buffy.'
"Oh no," says Xander when he sees a bunch of people banging on the back door.
"We've gotta get out of here," says Buffy.
"How? All the entry ways are block," says Xander. "The only way out is up." Buffy looks at Xander with a serious expression. "Sorry. I shouldn't say that." Xander heads up the stairs to the second floor. He heads to Buffy's room and locks the door. Xander puts Buffy down on her bed. He then goes to the window and sees almost the whole town outside trying to get in.
Xander then opens the window.
"Xander what are you doing?"
"Well, if can't beat them join them."
"Xander!"
"I'm just kidding Buff."
Then to their surprise they hear the front door open. Buffy's dad and Ann open the door for everyone else. They all begins to enter the house and spread out. Some head for the stairs. Willow, Giles, Tara, Damon, and Casandra head up the stairs towards Buffy's room.
"We need a barricade." Buffy looks around. "My trunk. In the closet." Xander makes his way into Buffy's closet and pulls the big trunk out. He pushes it in front of the door just as the people outside start to bang on her door.
"You think it will hold?" Xander looks at Buffy as Buffy looks at the door being push open.
"I don't know." Xander picks Buffy up and heads over to the window. He then sees the Snout Demon. Xander puts Buffy down.
"What's the matter Xander?" Then the door crashes open. Buffy then picks up the door and slams it on her friends face. "Sorry guys." Buffy pushes them back but they keep pushing harder.
"Hold on Buffy," says Xander as he climbs out the window.
"Xander," Buffy calls to him.
Xander jumps from the roof to the tree next to Buffy's window and down to the ground. Unseen by any of the towns people, Xander starts to pretend he's under the spell like everyone else as the Snout Demon walks behind him with a grin.
Xander the turns around and whistles, which got all the people's attention.
"Hey, this guy is protecting Buffy," says Xander.
"No," says the Snout Demon. "I'm not." Xander gets out of the way as the people crowd the Snout Demon.
The inside Buffy could not hold the door any longer and lets go. It falls on the ground and Buffy backs away from them as her friends enter the room. She grabs Willow and flips her. She falls on her bed. Buffy does the same to Tara. Then Casandra grabs Buffy's arm and twist it. She slams Buffy against her closet door. Buffy falls to the ground.
"Xander where are you?" Buffy says as she holds her arm close to her. Her friends then begin to walk over to her and are about to pounce on her.
Back outside, Xander grabs the Snout Demon from the crowd of people and pushes him against the tree.
"Alright, reverse the spell or I'll give you back to them," says Xander.
"I'll do it," replies the Snout Demon as he starts to recite a spell and everyone returns to their selves. Xander looks up to Buffy's window as the Snout Demon pushes him away and runs off. Xander doesn't care that he got away. He only cared about Buffy and he runs into the house through the crowd of people and up the stairs.
Buffy is on the floor with her friends hovering over her not knowing why. Xander rushes to Buffy's side and helps her up.
"What just happen?" ask Giles.
"It's a long story," says Buffy. "I'll tell you guys later."
Later that night Buffy invited everyone to her house for dinner. The girls place the plates and the food on the table. Then they all sit down to eat except Buffy. She then begins to explain about the spell that was cast on them, which they could not remember.
"I can't believe we said such horrible things to you Buffy," says Giles.
"We're sorry," says Willow.
"It's okay Willow," says Buffy. "When I found out it was a spell I knew you guys didn't mean it."
"Hmm, I seem to not remember anything at all but I do feel some pain on my cheek," says Giles.
"I have kind felt like someone grab my neck," says Tara. Xander and Buffy look at each other.
"Sorry Tara," says Buffy. "You were going to hit Xander. I had to stop you."
"Aren't you going to apologize to Giles," says Xander. Buffy looks at Xander wide eye.
"Sorry Giles," says Buffy as she sits down next to Xander.
"Alright everyone eat up," says Ann. "By the way Buffy made this dinner."
"Cooked," says Giles.
"You mean she was in the kitchen," says her dad.
"You guys," says Ann. "Buffy worked real hard."
"Who's going to take the first bite?" ask Buffy. Everyone looks at Mr. Summers.
"Lady's first," he says looking at Ann.
"Oh, you're such a chicken Hank," says Ann as she took a taste of Buffy's dinner. "Hmmm, this is really good." Ann takes another bite then everyone follows and agrees. Buffy is please and smiles.
"This is great," says Xander as he puts his hand underneath the table and grabs hold of her hand. Buffy looks at Xander smiles.
"It's marvelous," says Giles.
"I'm very proud of you Buffy," says her dad and Giles at the same time.
"Buffy you really have a touch for cooking," says Casandra. "I remember my mother had that touch."
"Yeah, she sure did," says Damon.
"I owe it all to Ann," says Buffy. "I mean Ann did help."
"Very little," says Ann. "You did most of the work."
"I'm glad you two are getting along," says Hank with a smile.
"Anyone for seconds," says Buffy.
"Me!" they all say.
Buffy says goodbye to everyone as her dad and Ann head upstairs. Xander walks up to Buffy as she closes the door.
"I didn't know you knew how to cook," says Xander.
"I guess I never tired," says Buffy.
"Another hidden talent from the slayer," says Xander as the two walk to the kitchen holding hands. Buffy blushes a little then they face each other and kiss.
"Oh that taste good," says Xander.
"There's plenty more where that came from," says Buffy. Dawn comes down stairs to get a cup of water and catches Buffy and Xander kissing.
