Faith carefully backed out of the door, her treasure clutched in one hand. Suddenly, a hand dropped on to her shoulder.

"What the hellmouth has gotten into you Faith?" said Xander.

With a muffled 'eep' she turned towards him and stuffed one hand behind her. "Oh, hey boytoy."

Unfortunately Xander wasn't alone. Buffy was the one holding her and they had both glimpsed what was in her hand.

"B! It's not what it looks like!"

"Eikichi mentioned someone had been in his room. We thought maybe a baby slayer, but not you Faith."

Faith sunk down a little. "I can't help it, he's just, you know, so, gah! This isn't like me." Appealing to Buffy "You know me B, want, take, have. Why can't I talk to him? Why can't I just knock boots and be over with it?"

Buffy relaxed her grip and reached down to pull the object from Faiths unresisting grip. "Faith, I think you have a cru... OH MY GOD! You're stealing his underwear!"

Xander grinned. "I think all that tough girl stuff has worn off a bit Faith." He nudged Buffy. "You like this guy."

Buffy started to grin and say in a singsong voice "She likes him, she likes him."

"Gah! I can't get him out of my freaking head. I caught myself doodling 'Faith Onizuka' on my desk! But I get so tongue-tied. I actually feel myself start to blush when he's around!"

Willow stuck her head around the corner. "You've caught her! Good. Now explain to her that she's still hetero and its ok for her to chat him up." She was followed by Dawn and kennedy, who joined in with Buffy's low 'she likes him' chant.

"Anooo, why is everyone outside my room? And why is Summers-San holding my underwear?"

"Eep"
