After Glitch was introduced to what a shower was and how to use shampoo they picked him out some clothes. He ended up in a pair of tight jeans that had Xander drooling, as well as a pair of Xander's old combat boots and a plain white t-shirt to top it off. His hair, now that it had been cleaned and combed, was tied back in a ponytail. It was styled in a way that hid his zipper so people wouldn't stare when they went out later that day to buy him some of his own clothes. Xander thought he was the picture of hotness and had told him so which had made Glitch blush and look at his feet.

Xander just couldn't get over how innocent Glitch seemed at times. It made him smile and think dirty thoughts.

He led Glitch down to the dining hall at about 9 am. The Slayers were there eating their after morning training meal. When they saw Glitch they all froze and stared. Then Faith stood up and asked, "Hey Xan, whose the new boy?"

Xander looked at Glitch who looked like he wanted the floor to open and swallow him that very second, "He's a dimensional traveler and you all should treat him nice. He might not know how some things work so help him when you can. Also Faith, he's mine." he smirked at her

Glitch just looked confused, "I'm your what?" he asked with that innocent face again

Xander smiled and put his arm around Glitch, "Your just mine silly?"

Glitch blushed but smiled up at Xander, "I think I could learn to like that, given time."

After all the Slayers left Xander made Glitch some eggs and showed him where everything was. As they ate Xander would ask questions about Glitch and visa versa. Xander was surprised to hear that Glitch was an inventor and Advisor to the Queen of his land. And the story of DG had been really cool. He had been most interested in the fighting bits and this guy Cain. Turns out Glitch didn't like Cain like that, but considered him his best friend.

Xander told Glitch about demons, vampires, and Slayers. He told him some stories about what the Scooby Gang had been through over the last few years. Glitch asked a lot of questions about magic and fighting or, as he called it, dancing. And Xander almost laughed when he said he wanted to spar with a Slayer. But when he had seen the serious look on Glitch's face he had refrained from laughing.

After breakfast Xander took him on a tour of the Base. They covered a few things while on the tour like what TVs and computers were, as well as what a Mr. Cappuccino did. When they reached the training hall they ran into Faith once more who was busy watching the other Slayers spar. Glitch then did the stupidest thing Xander had ever seen anyone do.

"Excuse me, Faith is it? Would you like to spar with me?" Glitch asked and held out his hand as if asking for a dance

Faith just stared for a few seconds but then smiled and took his hand, "I'd be honored." they both walked out onto the mat. Glitch removed his shirt and shoes while Faith removed her shoes as well. Xander was thankful that her shirt stayed on for once. As they were stretching out (and man was Glitch flexible) Faith asked, "So, rules?"

"Hand to hand only for right now. Maybe something else at a later date. First to be pinned for 5 seconds wins." he held out his hand, "Deal?"

Xander knew what Faith was going to do the second Glitch stuck his hand out. She shook it, said, "Deal." and then flipped him

Or at least, she tried to. Glitch followed the movement and landed on his feet like a cat. He smiled at Faith, "Now that was just rude." was all he said before he dove at her. He punched, kicked and blocked accordingly. He got hit a few times as Xander had known he would. What he did not expect was for Glitch to land a few hits as well and block or dodge most of Faith's attacks. Then Glitch did something Xander had never seen before. He got hit in the face and as he fell backward he used his hands to stop himself and kicked both feet out at the same time and right into Faith's head. Faith flew backward with Glitch right behind her. As she lay on the ground stunned by the blow Glitch pinned her and counted to 5.

As Glitch got up the entire room fell silent. Faith didn't move and Xander didn't dare even breath. Glitch looked around in confusion at this reaction, as if he thought it was normal to kick a Slayer's ass in under 10 minutes. Glitch looked down at Faith and offered his hand with a hesitant smile on his face.

The room breathed a sigh of relief as Faith smiled back and took his hand, "Not bad Glitch. Where the hell did you learn to fight like that?"

Glitch wiped some blood from his lips and smiled as he replaced his shirt, "I worked as right hand man to the Queen of the O.Z. I had to know how to defend myself as well as her. I may have been the Royal Advisor, but that doesn't make me a push over." And then his face went blank and he looked around in confusion. His hair, which had come loose during the fight parted to show the zipper to the room and Glitch smiled at Faith, held out his hand and said, "Name's Glitch, have we met?"

No one moved but Xander, "Glitch, that's Faith remember?"

Glitch blinked and then blushed, "Of course, that's right. I guess I had a little glitch. Sorry about that."

The ever tactful Faith just asked, "Dude, what's up with the zipper?"

Glitch looked a bit taken aback and ashamed. Xander had noticed that no matter what Glitch told him he still hadn't told him what had happened to his brain. He had a feeling it had something to do with saving the O.Z. but all Glitch had said was that they had defeated and evil witch.

Without a word and before Xander could stop him Glitch ran out of the room. Xander shot a fierce glare at Faith before running after him.

Meanwhile in the library Giles was doing research on traveling spells, trying to locate the type that had brought this man named Glitch here. He had heard about that morning at breakfast and had to say he found the name rather odd. But what did he know about names from other dimensions. He had just come back into the library after getting some more tea when he heard the sound of chalk on a chalkboard. They had one in the library for doing research or studying with the younger girls. Giles wandered over and was surprised to see Glitch drawing what looked like blue prints of some sort. Giles cleared his throat.

Glitch spun around so fast Giles was amazed he hadn't fallen over. Giles grew concerned when he saw tear stains on Glitch's face as well as bruises. Had one of the girls seen that zipper and thought him a demon. Giles ran to the wall and got the first aid kit from it's hook. This being Slayer Central and all there was one in every room, including the bathrooms.

As he sat Glitch down and introduced himself he asked, "Glitch, what happened to you? Did one of the girls hurt you?"

Glitch smiled sadly, "Not really, just a little sparing match with Faith." and then looked at the floor in shame, "She saw my zipper when my hair came loose and I had a glitch in front of her. I forgot who she was." he saw Giles confused look, "That's how I got my name. my memory isn't good and sometimes I repeat thing over and over. So I named myself Glitch."

Giles frowned, "And let me just guess. She just came right out, without thinking it might be a touchy subject, and asked you about it?"

"Yes. That's right." Glitch looked at Giles, "I know you all want to know about it but, that memory…" Glitch shivered slightly

Giles put his hand on Glitch's shoulder, "Trust me when I say most of the people here have memories just like that. I've been tortured, Xander lost his eye, and so on. Just know that no matter what happened, no one will hold it against you." then Giles changed the subject and asked, "So what were you drawing on the blackboard?"

Glitch looked up excitedly at the question and seemed to forget all about their previous conversation. Glitch began to explain that it was and invention that shot wooden stakes at high speeds using air pressure. He called it the Vampire Dusting Air Pressurized Stake Shooter. Or the V.D.A.P.S.S. for short.

They were both shocked when the door flew open and in stormed a worried looking Xander who asked, "Giles have you seen Glitch? That bitch Faith made him run away." When Giles pointed across the room at Glitch Xander smiled and instantly hugged Glitch, "I am so sorry."

Glitch pulled away slightly and looked Xander in the eye, "It's alright, after all" he reached up and touched the eye patch before letting his hand drop to his side, "we all have things we would rather forget."

So that was the second chapter. I was informed and now realize that in the first chapter the characters were moving way to fast. So from now on it will be more like protective and teasing Xander with a sort of clueless yet flirty Glitch. And over the next few chapter the characters should develop a better and more meaningful relationship. Please let me know what you think. Oh, one more thing. The fight was for my own amusement. And I think that Faith, underestimating men as she does, would loose. If you disagree that is fine but that's just how I feel about it.
