When they awoke, the hunger came to all of them. After the finished the meal, Jeanette said to the girls while looking at Nicholas with a smile "Girls, next time we can go eat something fresher, I promise we will have fun".
They all laughed when Nicholas face paled "Oh Nicola, you look so delicious when you are like that" Jeanette said while trying to calm her laughter. Buffy then asked with curiosity "I wanted to ask you this last night, are you all like Nicholas and Natalie?", Divia smiled at her and answered "No, we are not" she then added when she saw the worry in Buffy's and Willow's face "But we are nothing like my father either".
Vachon added "We are not monsters, I know we all have hunted and killed in the past, but in the modern world killing mortals is seen as something bas by the community, it just draws to much attention to our kind" Janette then said "To tell you the truth, we all have felt remorse by some of the things we have done, but you got to remember that sometimes our nature is difficult to control, and in the old days we didn't have blood banks, so even if you wanted to" she looked at Nicholas now with a sincere smile "Sometimes we just didn't have a choice". Then she added "However, I don't try to reject what I am. I have come to accept it; both the good and the bad and I try to enjoy life".
Nicholas said "You mean enjoy death". Jeanette smiled and continued "We are what we are but girls, you can at least try to enjoy it, and if you let us, we can show you the fun of hunting, even if you don't kill the prey". Willow's eyes opened "You mean you still hunt?" Vachon laughed "We do it on rare occasions but just for the fun of it, not for blood, and we only do that to criminals or people who deserve it. Believe me, they all end up at the police station or the church asking for forgiveness" Buffy smiled and teased her friend "What do you says Will? Do you want to be bad?" Willow smiled shyly and said "I err, I". Nicholas simply said as if giving up "You are all being a bad influence to them" at which all of them, even Natalie, laughed.
The seven of them left for the school's library, and as they were flying Buffy said "Umm guys, I think it will be a good idea if you wait for us outside until Willow and I have talked with Giles" at which they all agreed.
Once they landed in front of the school they all went inside, and when they were in front of the library door Willow asked Buffy "What are we going to tell him?" Buffy answered "I don't know Will. Normally I would only say, Hey Giles what's up for tonight, but I don't think that's a good idea".
They opened the door slowly; as if afraid they might scare him off, and then got inside. Giles was reading a book, like always, and was alone. Willow was so happy when she saw him, that she forgot for a moment the situation "Hey Giles, what are you reading?" then she put both her hands in her mouth.
Giles froze for a moment "My imagination is playing tricks on me" H e thought, but then he heard footsteps. He raised his head and then his eyes widened, Buffy and Willow stopped in their tracks.
As Giles was rising from his chair Buffy said to him "Giles is good to see you", then she thought to herself "Is good to see you¡" Willow then thought "Oh no, He looks to be on the edge of a mental breakdown, think Willow think" , then she took a step to him and said "Giles please don't be afraid" but just as she took a step forward he took a step backward, "I know this must be hard for you Giles, but I can assure you that all of this can be explained" Willow continued as she took another step, Giles tried to move further back, but his shoulder touched a wall an he knew there was no way out for him.
When Willow was in front of him she said "Giles it's me, Willow" Giles gulped hard and said "A… Ar.. Are you h.. here t…to d..dr.. drink my b…blood?. Realization came to both Willow and Buffy "Giles, we are not v… demons" Buffy said as she approached, then Giles managed to say "B...But t...then how come you b..both haven't a..aged at all?" Willow just wanted to calm him so she showed him her vampire face "See Giles, we are not demons, you have nothing to worry about" Giles fear just rose when he saw her "Oh Giles, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Willow told him as her face changed back to normal.
Giles then remembered what Oz and Dawn told him last night and he managed to say "Y...You were the ones who saved both Dawn and Oz?" Buffy smiled "Yes Giles, we did that", Giles was still afraid, but now his curiosity was picked up, and for a moment he thought they were back nine years ago, and said "We will have to do research" then he reacted and said "B.. But what happened to you both?" Willow was happy when she saw that his fear was gone now and there was real concern on his voice, before he could move she hugged him "I'm so happy to be here with you Giles", Buffy joined them and hugged her former watcher. Giles said "Ah.. w.. well, yes".
As the girls released him, he sat back on his chair and realized that he was now feeling very happy, even if he wasn't good at showing his emotions. He knew that nine years ago his heart was broken, even if he had only known them for only four months, and now they were back. Buffy noticed the emotions in his face and said with a kind sympathetically "It's really us Giles, your favorite slayer and computer girl" Giles simply asked "But what happened to you both?" Willow answered "Giles, it would be better if you meet some people before we tell you our story"
Giles asked with surprise "Is there someone here with you?" Willow stayed with him as Buffy went to the door and opened "You can come in guys", Who are all these people Willow?" asked Giles with curiosity "And are they like you both" Willow looked at him straight in his eyes and said "Yes Giles, but I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about". Then as they came close Buffy said "Giles, I want you to meet our friends" then as she said each name, they all approached and gave him a shake of hands, except Jeanette who kissed him on the check "You never said he was that handsome" She whispered to Willow.
When introductions were done Giles finally said "You don't know how much I have miss you"
At that moment, the door suddenly opened and Angel came inside fallowed close by the rest of the slayerettes "Giles, there is something urgent we need to tell y…." He saw her.
They all reacted in a different way: Angel stood there with the expression of someone who has received an illumination, Xander was only smiling, Oz and Dawn were behind them with some fear in their eyes, and Cordelia was thinking "Who are these people?… WAIT, I know I have seen before those two girls but where?" Faith was looking at them with suspicious "There is something weird about them" she thought. Finally Anya, Tara, Spike and Drusilla were all thinking "What is wrong with them?"
The awkward moment was broken when Buffy ran towards Angel and hugged him in a tight embrace "B..Buffy?" were the only words he could say. Xander approached Willow and said "You were telling the truth Willow, you didn't leave".
The rest of the group was left speechless, only Oz said "Buffy? Willow? Weren't those the names Giles told us last night?" Faith only answered as she took out a stake "Yes they were, and if what Giles told was right, then they haven't aged at all" Drusilla told her "Faith wait, they are not like us, I can feel it" But Faith just replied "Just in case". At that moment Buffy looked at her with a strange expression on her face and said "You are the new slayer?" Faith was about to reply but Oz then remember why they came and said "Giles, there is going to be trouble at the bronze"
