Chapter one the costume.

Xander was pretty sure he had his costume looked down until he got into the new shop and an outfit called to him. The outfit was a black long sleeved grandad t-shirt some black jeans and black army boots. The extras were a brown belt a brown cowboy looking holster some brown braces and black gloves there was also a toy combat knife and handgun.

Xander knew he could not afford the outfit, but something kept him in place Ethan noticed the boy looking at the strange costume and found a way to sell it.

"Hallo young lad I see you have found the free outfit," of course if Ethan knew what would come of this he would have throw it out.

"You mean this is free" Xander could not believe his look he had gotten a free costume saving himself money.

"Yes and all you have to do is tell people where you got it from."

Xander took some time to look over the outfit when he noticed a tag Jake Muller Xander did not know who this was, but something was telling him everything would change tonight. The second thing he noticed was the fake scar tattoo a skinhead wig and blue contacts.

At this time both Willow and Buffy had picked out their outfit at which point Xander walked over "So what did you get." Willow looked down not wanting to admit she was once again going as a ghost.

"This beautiful eighteenth-century gown," Buffy said showing the dress she had brought. "And what did you get" Xander pulled out his costume.

"I don't know but, his name is Jake Muller" Buffy shrugged as well also not knowing who he was.

"It's a surprise before you ask Xander" Xander decided to let it go hoping she would be something new this year.

Xander was trying on his outfit in different ways when he finally got it the three buttons on his t-shirt undone. The bottom of his jeans were inside his army boots. The belt went all the way round and the holster attached on the left side the brown braces fasten to the belt and the left side holster. The contacts were in his eyes and, the scar ran under his left eye when he looked at the scar hr got the knife out and realized the knife cursed the scar. The gun was simple he put it in the holster and the knife went in, his right army boot. Xander looked at himself and noticed how bad ass the whole thing was except it was missing something that is when he added the fake black leather jacket.

On the way to Buffy house, he had a foreboding feeling before he shook it off. As he walked up the stairs, flashes of monster entered his vision. After awhile it cleared up and he, rang the doorbell as soon as Buffy opened the door he was taken back by how beautiful she was. Buffy was amazed Xander outfit was showing her muscles she never knew he had this was because of all the fights he had.

"Wow Buffy you look Beautiful" Xander realized what he was saying so he, continued "not to say your not usually but today you look heavenly." Buffy giggled and tried to hide the blush forming on her cheeks.

"And you look like a badass" for some reason Buffy could not stop the following words coming out "a very handsome badass." Buffy could not believe she had said that sure she had a crush on him but she, did not want to ruin her friendship with Willow. "But wait till you see" before she could finish Willow walked down the stairs.

"Hi," Willow said in a shy voice.

"Casper" Buffy finished a little upset after all their hard work was for nothing.

"Hey Will that's aaa mighty fine boo you got there."

There was a silence on the way to the school as Xander was wondering how he could get Buffy to notice him. Buffy was trying to get thoughts of kissing Xander out. Willow was just ashamed she chickened out. As soon as they got into the school they want, their separate ways.

With Buffy.

Principal Snyder was showing Buffy to her Charges before speaking up "This is your group, Summers. No need to talk to them. The last thing they need is your influence. "

as Snyder started walking away Buffy, went down on one knee "hi" Snyder heard this and turned around.

"Ah, ah" Buffy got back up as she rolled her eyes.

With Xander.

Xander was looking at his outfit, when Larry came over dressed as a pirate. "Where's your bodyguard, Harris curling her hair." Lary jumped at Xander making him flinch as he walked away laughing.

Later on, Xander had his group lined up as their attention where on him. "Okay, on sleazing extra candy: tears are key. Tears will normally get you the double-bagger. You can also try the old 'you missed me' routine, but it's risky. Only go there for chocolate. Understood?" After they all nod he continued "Okay lets move out."

AN 2 so this is the end of chapter one and when this is up there should be two poles and next weak another one. The first pole is weather or not this should be a full story or in seasons the second poll is weather I should finish Xander cage and then move onto this story or change them out after the season well that is if the season win if not then it will just alternate meaning weakly. And lastly who should Xander end up with here are the names: Buffy, Cordelia and Faith. If you have a suggestion put it in the review and it will be added to the poll.
