Meanwhile, Xander had managed to locate a small gap in the wire mesh of his cage, and after spending the last few hours widening it, he was now attempting to reach through and open the latch of the cage, which unfortunately lay just beyond his reach. Hearing the now familiar sound of bunny feet approaching, Xander quickly retracted his arm. The bunny opened the cage door just a crack, and nudged a small metal bowl towards the human before re-locking the cage and hopping away. Xander smiled as he looked at the contents of the bowl. A carrot. Now he had a plan.
"Okay, do we have everything?" Anya asked for the hundredth time, beginning to panic about the impending journey.
"Yes" said Tara and Dawn in unison. Both of them were beginning to curse the idiot that had prophesised this whole mess.
"Food?" Anya asked.
"Check" replied Tara, holding up the supplies.
"Water?"
"Check" said Dawn, raising the bottles.
"Weapons?"
"Check, check, and check" said Tara, pointing to each of the weapons the village chief had given them. Anya had been given a sword, Dawn a bow and arrows, and Tara a staff that she could use to channel her magic.
"Okay then" said Anya, relaxing just a little. "Let's pack this stuff up and then go get some sleep, we're leaving at sunrise."
"Yes!" Xander yelled triumphantly. Using the carrot for extra reach, Xander had managed to flip the latch and open the cage door. "I did it! Who's the man? Woo!" He raised a hand for a hi-five. Flushing with embarassment when he remembered nobody else was there, Xander lowered his hand and studied his surroundings, beginning to wonder what he was going to do next.
Back at the Summer's house, Buffy and Spike's still continuing argument was interrupted when the phone rang.
"Hello? Oh, hi Angel" Buffy answered, shooting Spike a glare as he growled at the name. "Have you found anything?" The slayer fell silent as she listened to Angel's explanation. "You've got to be kidding me. Are you sure... oh, he's checked it three times. So, Cordy's dream was really a vision? Okay, thanks Angel. Yeah, I'll call if we need anymore help. I know, you're door is always open. Bye." Buffy hung up, finding the faces of Willow, Giles, and even Spike gazing at her expectantly. She sighed.
"Wesley found a prophecy saying that the great hero Anya and her "warriors" are supposed to save some other dimension from the rule of some evil giant bunnies"
