"So, what happened?" Xander asked, after a frantic call from Phoebe had brought him and Cordelia running.

"We think we IDed the demon." Piper answered. "And Phoebe's temperature is literally rising, which is scaring the Hell out of me. Which is why she's using the other bathroom to take a cold shower again. She was afraid the dreams some how meant she was killing these guys and with her temperature rising, when we identified the possible demon, we also found a tracking spell. Prue cast it in the hopes of proving to Phoebe she's not the one killing these guys."

"I would have thought you casting the spell that activated my powers early had taught you to look before you leap." Cordelia said. "Instead of acting impulsively, I mean if it was Phoebe and she was possessed or something, than you left yourself wide open to being attacked by her."

"I told you so's are only fun when I'm the one saying them." Piper retorted.

"And yet, so very true."

"I take it there's an unexpected side effect to the spell?" Xander asked, trying to refocus them. Cordelia did love to argue, mostly with him, but it was a natural for the sisters to argue too and Cordelia had fallen quite easily into it with her sisters as well.

"A succubus." Piper answered.

"You're kidding." Xander said. "Since when do sex demons cause brain damage and suck out a guy's testosterone?"

"Different kind of succubus." Piper answered. "And who knew there was another kind, I sure didn't."

"Okay, so what makes this one different?" Cordelia asked, wondering if she needed to hide Xander, because, face it he had a history of being hit on by evil things. Or maybe they could use him for bait, possibilities?

"In this case succubus is a former witch who has made a pact with darkness. Succubi give up all human emotions and become predators, they lure powerful men to feed off their testosterone using a razor sharp tongue."

"Ow." Xander muttered. "She used to be human and willingly became a demon, like vengeance demons do. Powerful how? Magical or rich or political?"

"It doesn't say, what it does say is that she has an irresistible allure to draw men to her. She makes them slavishly devoted to her."

"So, I'm not going anywhere near her." Xander decided. "Having once been subjected to a demon's pheromones and nearly used for sex, followed by a beheading is enough for one lifetime. Even one as long as my potential lifetime."

"Yeah, you don't need any more evil things hitting on you." Cordelia agreed, no using Xander to lure the irresistible lady demon, check. "So, this doesn't explain why Prue is upset, I'd think she'd be glad the spell didn't identify Phoebe as the demon in question."

"Because the tracking spell affected her." Piper answered.

"How?" Xander asked. "If it's supposed to track the succubus, how could it affect Prue? Because I think Andy would have noticed if she had a razor sharp tongue and tried to suck out more than his tonsils."

"Well, it uh, changed her."

"Changed how and why are you just not coming out and saying it?" Cordelia asked. "How bad can it be?"

"She lost a few things and...gained something and no, the something isn't a razor sharp tongue. She's refusing to come out of the bathroom."

"Oh, this is ridiculous!" Cordelia exclaimed and marched over to the bathroom door. "Prue! We're your family! Whatever it is that you've been changed into, it just means it was your turn to be fucked over by a spell and turned into something funky. Is it as bad as Piper turning into a wendigo or Xander nearly becoming a mercreature?!"

"You tell me!" Prue yanked open the door and Cordelia found herself looking at a Prue with a trimmed beard and mustache.

"What's with the beard?" Cordelia asked. "Is it supposed to somehow help you track the succubus?"

Xander, on other hand, had realized just what it was Prue was missing. "Is there a reversal spell?" He asked. "Because Andy's going to have a big problem with this, I guarantee it!"

Cordelia had also realized Prue had muscles she hadn't had before and was a little bit taller. "Oh my gods! You turned into a man?!"

"Yep, lost the girls and gained something I really don't want to have. I like being a girl! Xander, please tell me you can fix this!" She begged.

"Well, I probably could figure out a reversal and seriously, this should have been included in the entry and it's irresponsible that it wasn't. But I'm also thinking there's a reason it changed you into a man."

"What possible reason could there be?" She demanded.

"Body chemistry. I doubt you have much testosterone in you right now and you still have your brain. The succubus goes after men, which you look like now, but the rest might make it easier for you to resist her. Which would make vanquishing her easier. Is there a specific vanquish?"

"She's susceptible to fire." Piper answered. "If Xander's right, then we probably don't have a large window of opportunity, your body is probably already starting to make testosterone. We need to lure the succubus quickly before your brain starts getting clogged with testosterone."

"Hey," Xander protested. "My brain's not clogged by testosterone!"

The three looks of disbelief aimed at him were, frankly, insulting. "I need to spend more time with Daryl and Andy." Xander decided. He didn't say what he was thinking out loud though, that was a lesson he'd learned a long time ago. 'Sometimes I wonder if I spend too much time around women.' "And maybe visit the shooting range or take up a sport."

'I can practically feel the testosterone being sucked out of me.'
