Pulling up to her gate Cordy pushed a button on her car and the gate opened. She parked her car in her normal spot and got out with Xander, walking over to him she gently grasped his hand. "Together.." she said as she made her way inside. "Daddy, we really need to talk before I am forced to go out," she called out threw the large family estate house. Hearing an "Office hunny." she made her way with Xander to the Office. Looking at Xander "I'm with you all the way." she said softly as she entered the house office her dad had, shutting the door behind them.

"Daddy... You know I used to be friends with Xander, well we never really stopped but him being the idiotic hero he is didn't want me to go threw trouble for him. Daddy, his parents used to do worse abuse to him growing up than the neglect he now just gets. He Finally said enough but he shouldn't have." Looking at Xander with his head down a bit she stepped close to him and lifted his chin so he was looking at her. "Daddy, I really want to help him, any way we can. He means the world to me and always has. I'm done with the mask."

Mr. Chase sighed slightly before smiling "About time hun you got threw his thick head. If your step-mom has any issues come to me because I never hated you, Xander. I used to watch how you both would play on playgrounds at parks. I never forgot how angry you got if anyone picked on 'Your Queen'." Turning towards Cordelia "Why do you think after your step-mom started thinking you should be in certain circles I called you queen also? To keep reminding you who your knight was. I hoped one day you may turn him from knight to king and all too happy to help." he said pulling out a card from his desk and handing it to Cordy. "First get him a wardrobe tomorrow and such, he's moving into the guest house, and no Xander no isn't an option." Smiling at Cordy and Xander "Now I can only guess your costumes are together and you're going to surprise people, make sure to piss the troll off." he said.

Leaving her dad much happier she walked with Xander back to the car gathered all the items up and went to her room. "I'm going into the bathroom Cordy if you don't mind. Tell me when I can come out," he said as he gathered his items and went to the bathroom. Taking off his shirt, pants, and shoes he smirked in the mirror, wondering what Cordy would think of his slight six-pack from vampire hunting. Putting on first the camo pants then the boots he slid the jacket on before attaching his new weapons. Folding up his clothing and setting it on the counter he waited for Cordy to say he could come out. "Alright Xander, you can come out now," Cordy said seemingly slightly nervous.

Opening the door Xander froze in his spot at the image of beauty in front of him. Standing there Cordy's body looked amazing in the catsuit, the heels made her legs and curves seem even better while the jacket and sword gave her a bad-girl vibe. She must have spent a moment at her vanity because her make was a bit heavier and her hair was in a more wild teased-out look resembling a mane. Xander gaining an idea looked at Cordy "You are beautiful Cordy, But why not add a bit of extra face make-up to have some Lioness features. Could have your nose black and such." he said after coming out of the daze of how sexy she looked. Thinking for a moment before smirking "That actually sounds fund, but I'm gonna add a few things." she said going to her vanity as Xander sat on the edge of her bed. Nearly an hour later Cordy stood back up and Xander had to adjust himself in his daze at her new look. Cordy Smirked looking at Xander as she noticed the reaction, which would be hard not to see. Cordy walked over to Xander and using the now three-inch long black claw fake fingernail lifted his chin. "Does someone like what he sees, his Pussycat Queen." She purred out, where she got the contacts to give her eyes slits like a cat or the fake fangs in her mouth he didn't know but he was sure nodding his head with how much he liked it. Chuckling softly she smirked at Xander before twitching her now black nose similar to how a cat would. "Cat-girls are fun and cut, if what you say happened, gana be fun being a cat-girl lioness, also seems you will love it also." she purred out at the end looking down before giving him a kiss.

Walking out of Cordy's room hand and hand was for Xander just making the day better and better never realizing Janus the very one the shop owner is going to pray to make all this happen to change the future. Getting in Cordy's car she put the top down of the convertible, driving to Buffy's she smirked slightly as she reached over and grabbed Xander's hand before bringing it to her thigh "Stay.." before continuing to drive to Buffy's, uncaring her already wild mane was just getting more wild looking due to the wind. Xander not one to argue smirked himself before starting to rub Cordy's thigh. By the time they got to Buffy's Cordy looked at Xander a few times, Parking she turned to Xander and pulled his chin close "You in my room tonight mister after showing that kind of affection..." she purred before kissing him, knowing no one would recognize them at first glance.

Walking up to Buffy's with a smirk Xander knocked on the door. Buffy dressed as an old-fashioned princess answered the door. "Hello... Xander?" She asked. "Yup, and Queen Cordy. Before you ask, she dropped her mask. Ask Willow." he said as Buffy invited them in. Buffy nodded before heading upstairs to get Willow and ask. Walking into her own room Buffy shook her head noticing Willow was in a Ghost costume. "Cordy's here with Xander, Said you would understand dropping the mask." Willow sighed with relief "Do you know how hard it is pretending you have a crush on Xander and Hate Cordy to make sure Cordy is fine? Her Step-Mom wasn't the best when wanting her in certain circles. So to protect her... Xandr, Jessy, and I kept the friendship secret." Willow said with a smile.

Walking down the stair both Buffy and Willow did a double take on both Cordy and Xander. "I didn't notice it before but you both look intimidating and wow who did you go as?" Buffy asked with Willow nodding. "That's the best part Buffs and Wills, We are going as us, just enhanced," he said with a smirk as they left the house and started walking to school. Unbeknownst to the four Ethan at that moment was in front of an altar praying to Janus like a fool while playing right into what Janus wanted.

With a drop of Willows's body as her spirit, Cordy appeared bent over as a long lioness tail emerged from the back of her cat-suit in a newly made slit swish as the rest of her body altered slightly, gaining more muscle tone and thicker curves while streaks of red formed in her now much, much thicker hair that reached her thighs. Xander changing like everyone else who bought items or costumes from Ethan's shop grew in height till he was six feet six inches in height and bulked up, gaining a build much like Captain America. Turning towards Cordy Xander shook his head before dropping to a knee as his mind connected with four different beasts. Buffy now turned into the princess she dressed as fainted when a big panther stepped out of the shadows with whisps of showdown-like fire coming from his fire. A melodious cry from above came before from what seemed like a flaming portal a black phoenix came out. The Shadow Panther soon leaned up against Xander while the phoenix landed on his shoulder briefly to rub her cheek against him before going to Cordy's should once she stood up. Slithering up both of Xander and Cordy's bodies twin Basilisk settled around their necks.

"The Shadowfire Panther says his name is Logan, he says don't ask how he does not know. The Phoenix on your should say she does not have one and normally I should give her one, she wants my 'Mate' to be the one. and the snakes around our neck are basilisk that promise to keep their killer eye under control, also unnamed." Xander said in a deeper voice that caused a bit of a funny feeling in Cordy before hearing the word mate and with a sound of outrage from a phoenix Cordy was practically wrapped around Xander. "Do you mean it, do you mean it when you said mate?" she purred her lips inches from his as she looked him in the eyes. "You... Are... My... Queen..." he said kissing her after each word.
