A.N. OMG hi guys, and I know that people are reading this! I can't believe how many of you there are! Seriously thank you so much. So here's chapter 3, Chapter 4 is on it's waaay! ;) enjoy xxx

Giles had explained to Xander what was going on, effectively managing to miss out the part about him and Willow, so that by the time they reached the magic shop Xander was filled in on everything.

"Right, so we need to find out if there is some sort of spell that can undo this?" He asked.

"Yes." Replied Giles.

"We can also look through the old watcher journals and see is this has ever happened before."

The pair got to work looking through books.

Well, Giles did.

Xander mainly pretended to do research and thought about how to make things up to Anya.

Suddenly Anya walked in and looked around the room.

When she spotted Xander she stormed over to him.

"Xander! You didn't return my calls! I have been ringing you and ringing you and, goodness your arms are muscly, just look at them ripple..." She trailed off.

Anya looked at the pair quizzically.

"What's going on? Why did I say those things?" She asked, confused.

As she asked this Dawn walked in the shop.

"There's this thing that's making people say things they think about people to the person, but it's only like really strong emotions. Like blood lust or attraction." She explained, pleased with herself that she remembered it all.

Xander looked thoughtful for a moment.

"But I thought you said that you and Willow figured it out?" He asked Giles.

"Oh yeah!" Butted in Dawn.

"Those two are totally into each other."

Several emotions crossed Xanders face before settling on anger.

"What?" He practically yelled.

Giles looked cautious but pretty pissed off.

"Now Xander, it's not that straight forward." He reasoned.

"No! You cannot be hooking up with Willow! Your so old... And your Giles!" He yelled.

Giles lost it.

"I'm Giles? That's your reason why neither myself or Willow have the right to be happy? You know what? I don't see how this is any of your bloody business anyway!" He growled.

Xander looked shocked and unconsciously backed away.

Giles stood up and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" Anya asked.

"To find the woman who I'm in love with." Giles replied.

Back at the Sommers house Buffy was slowly pacing in front of Spike who was, to put it bluntly, scared shitless.

His affections towards Dawn had been growing considerably recently, however he always managed to disguise it by pretending to have feelings for Buffy.

"Umm, look slayer, I can guess where this is going. So can we please just get the arse kicking over with already?" He asked.

Buffy glared at him as he spoke.

"Hmm, well you see Spike the only problem with that is that I don't wanna fight... Actually no, I take that back. I would never miss an opportunity to kick your ass. But no, right now... I wanna talk." She said menacingly.

Spike gulped.

Buffy opened her mouth to start talking again when Willow called her name from the front room.

Buffy sighed and started to walk out of the rom, before turning back to Spike.

"We are not finished here." She hissed.

In the front room Willow was sat on the floor, surrounded by books.

"Take a look at this." She said, beckoning Buffy closer.

Buffy took a look at the book Willow was holding, but couldn't make any of it out.

"It's in Latin." The young Wicca explained.

"This kind of thing has happened before, a long time ago." She said.

Buffy looked to her to explain further.

"Well," Willow started.

"Back in the 1300s there was a spell cast on a town so that nobody could hide secrets from one another. The town was well known for its mass crimes and burglaries, until one day a local witch had enough. According to this book, she cast a spell on the night of the winter solstice, only to be reversed on the opposite night." She explained.

"What happened?" Asked Buffy.

"Well, eventually the whole place turned crazy and they all killed each other before they could reach summer solstice." Willow said nervously.

"Buffy, if this is our case, then we are in serious trouble." She said.

"Why?" Asked the slayer.

"Because, it's irreversible until the summer solstice... Which is 4 months away."

Buffy stood up and said "I'd better go call Giles and tell them what we know."

As she walked towards the phone they're was a knock at the back door.

Willow opened it to see Giles stood in front of her with a determined look of his face.

"Giles! Buffy was just about to ring you." She said cheerily.

"We've found this case when..."

However she was cut off by Giles' lips on her own.

Willows eyes widened in shock, before she melted into his embrace.

After a while, both parties needed to come up for air

"So, what was that?" Willow asked, however she was smiling.

Giles shook his head.

"All I know is that right now I have these feelings for you. Strong ones, and I want us to spend more time together... You know, when we're not in life or death situations, that is, if you like?" He replied.

Willow laughed breathlessly.

"I'd like that. I'd like that very much." Willow answered.

"But what brought on the kiss?" She asked.

"Ah, yes about that. It was very forward of me, however Xander said something back at the magic shop that got me pretty riled up. I Erm... Well I snapped at him a little bit." Giles explained, cringing slightly.

"But, I sincerely apologise. It was awfully forward of me and I should have waited until I had asked you out properly."

"Oh no! I wasn't complaining. It's just that it was a very un-giles like thing to do, and you caught me by surprise, of course not that I minded it was probably the best surprise i'v had in a long time, and I would love to go out with you, like on a date, that is if you know, you still want to..." Willow babbled.

Giles chuckled.

"I can think of nothing better I would like." He assured her fondly.

He leaned down to kiss her again when they were interrupted by Buffy walking into the room.

"Ohh, Erm *cough* sorry I thought... Erm I'll just..." She trailed off pointing back to the other room and quickly retreating.

Willow giggled slightly.

"So I guess it'll take everyone a while to get used to the idea of us being together." She said.

Back in the kitchen Buffy entered the room looking slightly ill.

"Hmm so it's true about red and the watcher?" Spike asked.

"Boy, I would not like to be him when you and the boy have your nice little 'chat' with him!" he commented.

Buffy recovered when she heard spikes voice.

"Yeah, well if I were you I'd be worrying about my own problems." She said bluntly.

"So, wanna explain to me what is up with you checking out my little sister." She asked, emphasising the little.

"Oh, that little misunderstanding... Well you see, Erm, it was the spell!" Exclaimed Spike, genuinely fearing for his life.

Buffy raised her eyebrow at him, however made no motion to continue.

Spike coughed.

"Well, you see, I have my own little theory here. The spell is making us say things that we don't want... But, you know, like we do want them?" He asked.

Buffy once again raised her eyebrow.

"So you're saying that you find Giles desirable?" She asked, smirking slightly.

"hell no!" Spike practically yelled.

"What are your intentions with my sister?" Buffy asked, smirking at his answer.

"Look, Buffy, I like Dawn, really I do and if I want to be with her, and I don't mean be with her, even just hanging around with her, then I will do so. But do not think just for one second that just because you told me too I would stay away from Dawn. Because being with her is like being without air... If I needed to breathe it. Being without her hurts. It hurts like hell, and I don't want that for me, or her." He replied, head held high in defiance.

Buffy nodded, satisfied with his answer.

"If you ever hurt my sister, I will cut you to pieces, starting with your balls and ending with your head." Said Buffy before walking out of the room.

A.N. So there you go. Let me know what you think? Read and review :) xxx
