23. Buffy Episode Tags: 6x4 "Flooded"

I think it's a bit self-explanatory what happens in this chapter. For the next few updates, we're going to be having Buffy episodes until Giles returns to England. That's when the fun starts.

"Your damn vampire just went and called her and she's left me to clean up the house—"

The rant continued as Wesley moved the phone a few inches from his ear. Giles wasn't in the best of moods and Wesley knew to just let the man vent.

"Not to mention teenagers thinking they have the magic in all the universe and now thinking that they can just use magic to do everything and anything under the sun."

Wesley hears some activity on the other end of the line and Giles sighed, Wesley deduces the man must be in a room or finally sat down somewhere.

"I'm going to be here for a while, Wesley," began Giles and Wesley already knew as much. "You can start with that elemental spells you want to try out. Just please play it by ear and try not to set the entire compound on fire."

"I'm slightly offended at your lack of confidence in my capabilities," said Wesley, but his voice betrayed his true emotions.

"No, I have every confidence in your capabilities," said Giles and Wesley knew the other man was smiling. "It's your lack of self-control with trying a lot of new spells that worries me. Especially unsupervised."

"Well safe and uncontrolled environment are a rarity in Los Angeles," began Wesley remember the all too familiar line Giles had told him when he first came to Sunnydale.

"Using my own words against will get you no where," reminded Giles as another commotion was hear on the other end. "I have to go. I have to feed 3 people any resemblance of dinner I can muster from this barren kitchen."

"Good luck," said Wesley and he heard the other man snort. "That was said as a good gesture, Rupert."

"Yeah right," mumbled Giles. "Keep me posted. I'd rather hear from you than any of the Council members."

"You and me both." replied Wesley. "You as well. Tell Buffy it's good to have her back."

Giles ended the call…not really certain if he agreed with Wesley's statement or not.
