Rupert's heart almost stopped right then and there. "J-Jenny?" he stuttered as he slowly lifted his hand up and reached out to her. "I-Is that really you?"

"Yes, yes it is," she answered, not sounding dazed, crept out, or possessed in any way.

The others were speechless as they watched Giles race over to Jenny and embrace her in his arms. Obviously, that thing was making his wishes come true. Now all they needed to know was where it came from and what it was.

"Do you suppose it's all a bunch of gobbldy-gook like all the other stuff that usually happens? I mean, our fears weren't actually real that one time, so perhaps Jenny isn't real," asked Xander.

"Highly doubtful..." said Buffy as she watched them make out. "How on earth could you make-out with a hallucination?"

"Giles, stop. You are scaring the children," said Cordelia as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry..." he said as he straightened out his glasses.

"Listen up, we have to conjure up a way to get that being out of you, so we can return to normal again," said Willow.

A frown quickly appeared on his face. He didn't like the idea of things going back to normal. All he wanted was to be with Jenny, nothing else.

"What if I want it like this?" he asked.

"Well, that would put one check under yes, and everyone else under no. Giles, that thing might be causing you to be a little daft, we'd better get it out and see what it is..." said Xander.

"No, NO!" screamed Giles as he started to back up. "I don't want to!" he screamed. He grabbed Jenny by the arm and ran the other direction. Of course, he slammed right into a wall (silly Giles) and fell unconscious.

Everyone gasped and ran over to him, checking if he was ok. He started to stir and moan. Having enough, the pink light flowed out of his mouth and back into the air.

"Oh God that hurt... what a moron, I'm getting outa here." thought the ball to herself. She studied the others for a second, and then flowed into Xander. Jenny instantly vanished, and the others regained their normal speech. Xander seemed to be choking as he grasped at this throat. Once the light settled, something unexpected happened.

He started to develop impressive biceps and triceps. His stomach was totally ripped and had a nice chest too. "Woah... check me out!" he grinned as he got up. He flexed his humongous muscles in approval. "Geesh, I feel like I could take down The Hulk!"

"Xander, your wish was to be totally buff! How lame is that?" smirked Buffy.

"Hey, I'm liking it!" smiled Cordelia as she checked out her boyfriend.

"Now how are we going to get it out of him? He'll totally rip us apart if we try!" stated Oz.

"You're right," said Xander as he picked up Cordelia and placed her delicately on his shoulder. "So don't try and stop me while we go off and rid Sunnydale of all demonic things! Ha ha!" And with that, he burst through the wall and headed off to who knows where.

"Great, obviously Xander wanted to be an ultimate fighter and go save the town," said Oz as they watched Xander rampage down the street.

"How will we stop him?" asked Willow, looking worried.

"Don't worry, I've got a plan," said Buffy as she stared off into the distance.

Over in the cemetery, Xander was totally kicking butt. Demons were coming at him left and right, and he clobbered each one. A strangely enthusiastic Cordelia was sitting on the ground, cheering him on.

"Let me finish slaying these, and we'll go get some ice cream, ok?" he called as he karate chopped another demon.

She giggled in delight as he killed the last of them. "Come on precious, let's go," he said as he put his massive arm around her shoulder. He stopped in his tracks when he was confronted by the others, except Willow.

"Not you guys again," he sighed. "Listen, I've gone solo and I'm doing just fine. I'm kicking bunches of demon butt, and I'm having the time of my life, so please let me be."

"Can't let you do that," said Buffy. "We have to leave the world the way it's supposed to be Xander."

"Well I don't like it the other way!" he cried. He was just about to strike at Buffy, when there was a loud clanging noise. Xander let out a moan, and then fell right over. Willow was standing behind him, shovel in hand.

"Good going Will!" smiled Oz as he gave her a congratulatory hug.

"How could you do this to him! He was just-"

Cordelia suddenly fell quiet as the pink light escaped from Xander's mouth.

"DON'T LET IT GET YOU!" screamed Buffy as they all took off in opposite directions.

The ball just sighed and started flying after whoever it wanted to. Buffy was racing through the cemetery at full speed when she rammed straight into Spike.

"Slow down Slayer, what's the rush?" he asked as he brushed off his coat.

"No time to explain! Just follow me!" she breathed as she grasped his arm and drug him behind her.

"Where exactly are we going?" he asked as he stumbled after her.

"Away from the light!" she answered back as they kept running.

"And why are we running away from the light?"

Buffy stopped, to catch her breath and explain what was going on. "Ok, there's this really weird demon that if it gets you, it makes your wildest fantasies come true. The only problem is the fantasies may be benefitting you, but hurting someone else. So don't let it get you, or the result will most likely be a catastrophe. Wait... yes it would be a catastrophe in your case."

Spike thought for a moment, and then let out a sinister chuckle. "Buffy, look, I'm a vampire. I don't give a damn if I wind up hurting someone else, or totally flipping the earth upside down. That fantasy demon sounds pretty tempting right now, think of all the stuff I could do. I think I'll go find it,"

"No! Spike, don't! You don't understand! It'll make you go-"

Spike had already turned around to head back the other direction. To his surprise, the ball of light was coming straight at him, 100mph. His eyes widened as it didn't slow down. It rammed into his throat and entered his body. He fell over from the impact and also started to squirm.

Buffy raced over to him to see what happened. "Spike! Spike! Can you hear me?" she said as she nudged him a little.

His eyes snapped open and were glowing an amberish gold. His arm quickly reached up and grasped Buffy's arm so tightly, it was starting to bleed. An evil cackle filled the night sky, accompanied by a female scream..

Oh no, what will happen? What could his fantasies be? Find out in the next chapter!
