Xander knocked on the door to Buffy's house, frantically, with Willow right behind him. Buffy's mom answered the door.
"Willow, Xander, what are you doing here?"
"Hi Mrs Summers," Said Xander, "Can we come in, please?"
"But, Buffy's not here."
"We know, she asked us to get something for her. She's with Giles."
"Oh, okay then, come in."
"Thanks, Mrs Summers."
Upstairs, Xander opened Buffy's wardrobe and pulled out the massive blue trunk, in which, Buffy kept all of her slaying equipment. Xander gave Willow a cross, and took two others, as well as two stakes, and three bottles of Holy water. He handed one of the stakes and a bottle of Holy Water to Willow, and took the cross-bow.
"Xander…"
"Don't try to talk my out of it, Will. I'm sorry."
Xander put the two crosses, stakes, two bottles of Holy water, and the cross-bow in a bag, and went downstairs, and out the door.
"Bye, Mrs Summers." Said Willow, as she gently closed the door behind her. She turned to Xander. "Who's the third cross and stake for?"
"You'll see. Get in the car."
Willow soon knew who the extra weapons were for.
"Xander, Willow, where's Buffy?" Giles asked as he opened the door, having been disturbed by a very loud knocking.
"At the Bronze," Xander said, "Dancing with the vampire we're about to dust."
"Oh?"
"Angel." Willow told Giles.
"He, he's lost his soul again?"
"No, just his head." Xander said.
"Xander's jealous." Willow informed Giles, when she saw the confused look on his face, and suddenly he understood.
"Xander, don't you think it's a little extravagant to kill Angel just because you're jealous of him?" Giles considered.
"Not when there's the possibility of him losing his soul again." Xander said, which was actually quite true. "Trust me, we'll al be a lot safer when he's been properly dusted."
Giles couldn't protest, after all, Xander did have a point, and a very good one at that. However, Willow, being a girl, and Buffy's best friend, could protest. And she did.
"Xander, I can see where you're coming from, with the thing with him losing his soul, but it's not just Angel you've got to think about here. It's Buffy too. If you kill Angel, Buffy might never trust you again. It won't just be Angel you're killing, you'll be killing Buffy and her trust in you, as well. Think about it. Would you rather have a slayer who hates you because you dusted her boyfriend, or a slayer who will be your friend no-matter what, even though you hate her boyfriend?"
"Xander, she has a point." Giles said, because he knew exactly what Willow meant, and he quite liked having Angel's help in the slaying business.
