Episode four
"So you and Wedge have done it then."
"Yep. It felt really good I was all warm inside." Willow answered Buffy's question. They were having a girls night. Soppy movies take about boys and what has been happing in their lives.
"So what happened did he make the first move or did you?"
"I did I was bold." Willow said proudly.
"That's so unlike you Will."
"I know isn't it brilliant you are now looking at the new Willow Rosenberg. Girlfriend, demon and computer wise."
"Yeah how are you with this whole demon thing?" Buffy said in her concerned voice.
"Well I'm coping." Buffy heard the stress in Willow's voice. "It's not easy I'll tell you that but I can handle it. Wedge is having a harder time. You know when he kind of…. Well lost the place it was because he had nearly the same conversation with his mom before she went evil."
"Wow that must have been rough."
"Yeah it was. Oh whilst I remember Wedge is going over to Scotland in the holiday's to cheek on the legal stuff he's selling one of his father's houses."
"Houses?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah didn't he tell you he's a millionaire he's thinking of buying a van so we can all get about the town easier."
"How come he isn't spending the money on lot's of stuff?"
"Well he just isn't that kind of person. He doesn't wear designer clothes because he disagrees with the amount of money that the people who make the stuff get paid. It's like 12cent a week and they have to support entire families of that."
"He must think everyone here are monsters because of the amount of designer stuff we wear here."
"No he doesn't."
"That's good." Buffy now decided to change the subject she just found out a lot about the mystery that was Wedge and it all made sense." So I'm thinking about braiding my hair do you think I would suit it?" Buffy asked Willow. But Willow didn't answer.
Buffy's Mum walked in with no respect for the sanctity of Buffy's room.
"What is this?" She shouted showing Buffy a sword, a cross and two stakes. "I found them in a bag down stairs are you in some kind of Cult or a… a… gang.
"Your good with a sword." Angel told Wedge.
"I should be I was trained by one of the best swordsmen in Britain."
Angel and Wedge had decided to do a little training since Buffy and Willow were having a girly night they had decided to have a guy's night. So far this had consisted of talk about their past's and what they hoped for the futures and of course training.
They were using real swords and so far neither one of them had a scratch on them.
"Its good how after that demon was killed every one got better and school started up again."
"Yeah it is. Have you met your new principle yet?"
"No they just found one he was an ex 3rd grad teacher. That's all."
Angel brought his sword up again offering Wedge another challenge. He took it and leveled his sword out froward.
Angel swung his in an infinity loop then brought it up high and tried to bring it down. Wedge blocked it and then forced Angle back. But that was only a fake and Angel quickly brought his into a defensive position and then slashed missing Wedge by centimeters.
"Wow that was close."
"Yeah closer than I meant."
Knock Knock. Angel laid down his sword and walked to the door.
"Hello Willow." Angel said.
"Hi is Wedge in."
"Yeah is there something wrong. I thought you were at Buffy's tonight."
"Yeah there is Buffy's mom's onto the slayer thing she and Buffy are fighting at the moment. I think they might fall out for at least a week which means no fun Buffy for a wee while."
"That's not too bad but she through you out that's harsh love." Wedge said to Willow in a nice a voice as he could manage after a rough work out.
"You two were having fun I'll leave." Willow said. Angel looked at Wedge showing in that one glance that Angel didn't mind if Wedge left to be with Willow because he knew he'd be off like a shot if Buffy came by all upset.
"Well go ok and… I know we could get Ice cream." Wedge and Willow left and Angel packed away the sword's they had been using.
Morning! Wedge sent to Willow. The to of them were lying in Willow's bed. There was a knock at the dower and Wedge went under the covers.
"Willow its 7:00 time to get up and go to school." Willow's dad shouted through the door.
"Ok I'm just getting ready." Willow shouted back.
How am I going to get out past your dad.
You don't have to worry he'll be leaving soon.
Good.
Both Willow and Wedge got dressed. Willow went down stairs. Wedge stayed in her room till her father went. Once he was gone Wedge went down stairs and gave Willow a hug.
Your father didn't suspect did he.
No not at all the fact I got in at 1 in the morning did. But I told him something came up at Buffy's. Oh you better phone Giles and tell him you're ok and not dead. A shiver went down Willow's back at that thought.
"Good morning Buffy I trust you had a good evening."
"No it was a bad. Bad evening. Mum and I had a fight."
"Oh and I take it that it didn't go to well then."
"No it didn't and the fact Willow left and didn't phone later has me worried."
"She's fine. Wedge is with her."
Buffy and Giles were standing inside the library standing under the glass dome roof with the sunlight poring onto them.
Then Willow and Wedge walked in smiling and arms around each other.
"Good morning all." Wedge said.
"Good morning." Giles said.
Buffy just waved. And walked over to Willow grabbed her arm and walked out the library with her.
"I missed something." Wedge said and sat down.
"Hi so anything big." Xander said as he strolled in with Cordelia following him.
"No not much just Buffy's mum nearly finding out about the slayer thing."
"You're kidding Wedge how do you know."
"Willow was there."
"Ok."
"Well I'm glad every ones here today." Miss Calendar said. "We'll be doing Html today. I want at least three pages of it per group and there is no subject you have to do. I want this to be done in-groups of no more than three. Ok so every one get going."
Willow and Wedge paired up.
What shall we do it on?
The history of the Gatherent Demon.
That's our races name.
I know that it I'll be fun and only Jenny would get it.
Well OK it will be fun and in class you should call her Miss Calendar.
No one else can hear us love.
I know. So I'll do the research get the book out the library and you start on the front page.
"Guy's talk everyone thinks you can talk with your mind's" Jenny said.
"But we can."
"I know but don't in class."
"K"
Jenny walked off to talk to the next group.
"I've got the book here as it happens." Wedge gave the book to Willow. It was a typical book leather-bound and old.
"Why did you have it?"
"I sneaked a look at Miss Calendars class plan."
"Oh. Well that's good."
The door to the classroom opened and a man wearing a brown leather jacket and a Hawaiian shirt walked in.
"Miss Calendar?" He asked in an Irish accent.
"Yes and you are?"
"I'm Mr. Doyle the new Principal teacher."
"Hello. Sorry you just don't look the principal type."
"Well I'm not I was a third grade teacher but now I'm a principle just by stroke of luck. I'm looking for a Willow Rosenberg and a Wedge Giles."
"We're here." Willow said less than enthusiastically.
"Good come with me would you." He walked out the door and Wedge and Willow followed.
"Right Xander, Buffy, Willow, Cordelia and Wedge. In principal Snyder's book's it says you five are the chief troublemaker's in this school. Now I know that's not true. But what I want to know is where I can find Angel. He should be here when I tell you this information. I've all ready told Mr. Giles but I thought you guy's should hear it together." He sneezed and as he did he turned in to a bracken demon green with lots of spikes coming out of him.
"Eeeooo." Cordelia said.
Buffy and Wedge didn't flinch. Willow and Xander just looked shocked to have a demon principal.
"Sorry." He returned too normal. "Now you know what I look like that's part of it but like Wedge there I can see the future but better than he can I have a direct connection to the power's that be."
"I take it that you know so much about us because you saw the future?"
"Yeap that's about it."
"Well at least you'll be able to grant us special permission to be out of class." Xander said hopefully.
"And that's the other high point of me knowing."
"Well you certainly seem a lot nicer than Snyder." Buffy said.
"I hope I am. From his reports I can tell he didn't like this school. Look I'll meet you five and Angel and Giles at sun down in the library. OK."
"Ok" Buffy said.
"Yeah all right." Xander said.
"Well if every one else is going to be there I'll come." Cordelia put in.
"Ok Wedge and I will be there." Willow told him.
"So our principal is a demon that strike you as odd." Xander was speaking to Buffy. They were in the hall way next to Xander's locker.
"Well…… Yeah it does. It big does in fact hugely does."
"That's what I thought." Willow and Wedge walked over arms round each other deep in unheard conversation.
"What about you Wedge how does it sit with you the principal being a demon."
"What… Oh that I'm fine with it. He seems nice. Don't hold me to that though."
"Willow what about you."
"Xander you're discriminating against demons aren't you."
"No really it's just he also gets visions weird."
The four walked in to the library. Giles and Jenny were round a book and Cordelia was standing near the door. As Xander walked in she put her arm round him and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Giles tell Xander he's discriminating against demon's."
"I'm not honestly."
"Willow would you look at this a minute." Giles said not hearing what she had said.
"Ok." She looked at Wedge concerned then walked over.
On the page there was a picture of Spike Drusila and Willow and Wedge, with text under it.
'These Four Demons Will Kill and Maimed
In The Year's Of the Living Dead Slyer.'
"Do you have any idea what this is about." Giles said.
"No I don't at all what is this some kind of joke because I'm… I'm not laughing." Willow said.
"What is it." Buffy said. Wedge looked shocked Willow had sent him the image and text telepathically.
Giles showed her the book.
"I'm not living dead so this must be years off or week's." A painful thought went though Buffy's mind about her life expectancy. Xander and Cordelia looked at it next. Cordi looked at Willow and Wedge not believing what was in the book. But Xander looked a lot more concerned.
"Erm Buffy you did die in the masters church." Xander said.
"Well only for a minute."
"Yes but if I was the guy that wrote that back in 1st century I don't now about mouth to mouth resus do I."
"Good point Xander it may well be sooner than we think."
This is not looking good I suggest we bail. Wedge said to Willow.
This can't be happening, they're turning on us. I think we should stay a little longer though.
All right.
"We're still hear." Wedge stated in annoyance. "And you guy's are working on a nightmare scenario. The book could be wrong." Willow could tell by Wedge's voice that he was not convinced of what he was saying.
"Wedge It's the codex." Giles said. Taking that onboard all Willow and Wedge could do was hold each other.
"Giles!" Buffy shouted. "What the hell do you think you were doing. And you Xander you should have known to keep your mouth shut."
"Buffy I don't think you realize the seriousness of this. If Willow and Wedge do turn evil are you or Angel mentally capable of killing either one of them."
"No we're not but telling them this might just speed up their disunion to start killing and helping Spike."
"Maybe but it's a disunion I made and I'll stick by it."
"Wow guy's stop with the arguing now. Willow is my best friend I have known her most of my life. But since she turned demon and Wedge came she's changed not much but enough. This is not a good sign. She's been keeping secrets. She didn't even tell us Spike attacked her and Wedge that time." Xander was yet again being serious.
"Yes these are the things that prompted me to act this way I was hoping for total disbelief or total admittance. But all we got was a reaction I couldn't read."
"This has to stop now you two better apologize to Willow."
"What about Wedge?" Xander said.
"And him but absolutely Willow."
"Ok"
"But this still doesn't solve our problem. What are we going to do when they turn bad." Giles said. " Because this is going to happen in the next two year's."
"Well I better go over to Scotland with them."
"Yes you better."
They're my friends how could they be so mean.
Willow honestly they didn't mean it.
Yes they did. And I really don't know what to do.
Willow and Wedge were sitting on a park bench several miles away from the school. Willow had taken Giles book knowledge to heart and was very worried about her future. Wedge had been trying to convince her that it wouldn't happen soon and before it did he would have a vision. She didn't believe him.
At least Buffy didn't believe it.
No she didn't but still Xander and Giles and Miss Calendar did. And that's worse.
Well we only have a week left of this term then we go over to Edinburgh for a month. And once we get back everything will be fine. Wedge said.
They sat there huddled up for about 4 hours. They had decided not to go to see the Principal.
"Where are Wedge and Willow?" Doyle asked.
"I don't think they'll be coming tonight." Buffy said.
"Oh well. Right see I'm a demon a good one and the power's that be told me that you guy's need a Principal to help you out. I can make cover stories and can tell the future. I will also help research and train you guy's if that's ok."
"Yep it sure is so why call us out here." Buffy said.
"Well I also have a fair share of problems one of which is after me at the moment. And I need you guys to help me."
"What is it." Angel said.
"A warkes demon three foot tall with kinetic abilities."
"Easy kill." Angel told him.
"For you maybe but not for me friend. But I do have a plan to kill it."
"Spike why does the sky light up."
"It doesn't pet you just imagine it does."
"Dance with me Spike dance with me." Drusila then started to turn and swing her head. The two were in the abandoned factory they had turned it into there head quarters. Spike sat at a table reading a book. And several other Vampires were doing similarly with other books there was paper and candles and Books all over the table.
"Not right now dear heart I'm busy trying to get at the slayer through her friends."
"But you want them I know where to get them."
"You had another vision."
"The two are hurt badly wounded deep inside and the slayer knows it. They're all going away for a time and once they are back we can get them. It'll be fun they'll break and we'll kill the slayer."
"Good Dru. Hanse Vevasi take some of the others out to feed and if you see the slayer fight her. Now love you wanted me to dance with you."
Wedge and Willow arrived late. They looked round the school but didn't find anyone. Then they looked in the library but still could not find them.
Where are they? Willow asked.
Must have gone home, we are pretty late.
Willow and Wedge took one last look around then walked back along the road to Wedge's house.
So what's it like being a millionaire?
It's cool. I mean it's not all that it's cracked up to be. But it is cool.
Really I can't even imagine that kind of money.
I know why don't I give you a million and see what you do with it.
Really you're not kidding honestly.
Yeah why not I've got 780 million my self.
Eweewweweweeweeeeww she rushed out happily. She jumped for joy.
Suddenly there was a noise from behind the bushes and to vampires jumped at them. Wedge and Willow just laughed at them.
"Fear us mortal we are your death's."
Willow and Wedge turned into their demons and stared the two vampires down.
"You are traitors to our kind." The female one said before she ran off.
Stupid vampires. Wedge thought.
Yeah they were weren't they. Willow agreed still happy about Wedge's generosity. But then she started thinking about what the vampire said.
"This was you're big idea. Great." Buffy said sarcastically to Doyle.
"Well it's my first I don't really no much about these things."
"Great you should have said that before instead of this is my full proof plan." Angel said.
Giles, Xander and Cordelia were standing in the middle of the street near Giles' house with a candle in each hand. And surprisingly it hadn't drawn in any unwanted attention.
Then the demon Doyle had talked about came round the corner on a Harley Davidson.
"Hello" Angel muttered.
Buffy, Angel and Doyle all walked out from where they had been hiding. The biker stopped.
"Who called me." The three-foot tall warkes demon said.
"We did." Doyle said.
"You! I must kill you or face death myself."
"Well say hello to the master from me would you." Buffy said.
"You have friends." He then tried to lift them up but Jenny and her friends on the Internet were casting a spell that stopped him from using his abilities. "What have you done to me."
"Were stopping you." Then Angel and Buffy attacked the three-foot tall demon. Buffy kicked him in the stomach and he fell Angel then followed that up with an arm lock.
"Leave him alone." Angel told the demon.
"Ok I I'll leave him alone as long as you don't tell anyone."
"Ok we want now leave."
Jenny, Giles, Xander, Cornelia, Angel and Buffy all walked into Giles house in that order Giles made tea and coffee for everyone then sat down himself.
"So Buffy are you going to Edinburgh with Wedge and Willow?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah if they'll still let me come." Buffy sighed
Willow and Wedge walked in, happier now they decided that the way every one had been acting had been because of several things, most of which had nothing to do with them. But the picture in the codex still worried them greatly.
"Hi guy's" Willow said.
Wedge and Willow sat down next to Buffy and Angel everyone was talking about past times and hopes for the Future.
