THE NEXT NIGHT
"Are you serious?"
Angel nodded. "Buffy, this demon is dangerous. Why would I be anything but?"
"Dancing in the rain? That's how we kill it? No big, sharp pointy things? No magicky powder or fairy dust? We actually have to dance in the rain?"
"That's what the book says," Xander offered, shrugging his shoulders. "What's the big? Sounds easy."
"Uh, no rain, for starters," the Slayer pointed out.
"Will and Giles are taking care of that," Cordelia clepped.
"I bet," Spike muttered.
The return to L.A. had been delayed, do to the early morning arrival of a Samwa Demon. Anya had spotted him on her way to the shop and the gang had been called. Samwa's were as nasty as they were ugly.
"K, it's done!" Willow exclaimed, as she and Giles emerged from the back.
Before anyone could speak, the sound of pouring rain could be heard. Everyone stepped over to the window.
"Nice work, Red," Spike said, tossing her a smile.
"Yeah, Will," Xander added. "I'd like to put a request in for a little snow on Christmas."
"Ooh! I've never had sex in snow," Anya quipped, excited at the thought.
Giles cleared his throat. "Yes, now, ahem, shall we continue with the spell."
"Don't play the shy with us, Rupert," Spike purred, a smirk on his face. "We all know why you and Red took off last night like your arses were on fire."
Willow turned as red as her hair and retreated to the other side of the room. Buffy, Anya and Cordy exchanged a look, then followed her.
"Spike, please do shut up," Giles snapped, moving around the room to gather up the items for the rest of the spell.
"Spike," Angel warned, when the blonde vamp opened his mouth.
"Bloody hell. Can't have a bleedin' bit of fun anymore!"
Willow stacked the books on the table, pretending she didn't see her friends or their smiling faces. Finally, Anya broke the silence.
"How many?" she asked.
Willow, confused by the question, looked at her.
"What?"
"Orgasms. How many did Giles give you last night?"
Buffy tried not to laugh as she watched the color drain from her best friend's face.
"Way to go, tact girl," Cordy said, giving Anya a disapproving glare.
Willow picked up the pile of books and started to return them to their shelves.
"Whoa, Lolita," Buffy clepped, reaching out as they started to fall. "I'll take those."
She took the books from Willow, placed them back on the table and turned to her.
"Will, ya know ya have to talk to us," she began. "That was some exit last night. And don't think I didn't notice the way you were acting. I've seen lusty Will before but last night, was new. Something was way up and judging by my watcher's slight limp, I know it was something big. Now, we can do this the nice way, or, well, Giles does have chains, you know."
"Oh yes, I'm sure she knows."
At Anya's comment, both Buffy and Cordelia burst into giggles. Willow blushed even more. There was so no way out of this.
"It's time," Giles announced.
Willow sighed deeply. Saved by the watcher!
"Uh uh," Cordy said, noticing the relieved expression on the redhead's face. "This conversation WILL continue."
"Cordy's right, Will," Buffy agreed. "And if you even think of bailing after this little dance party, we will so hunt you down."
"And use the chains," Anya added. "I know many ways to make a person confess."
Willow's eyes grew wide as the others laughed.
The rain felt cool as it splashed against Willow. She smiled, as she watched Xander do his infamous Snoopy Dance, while the others managed to actually stick to the official dance.
"That's it!" Everyone stopped and looked at Angel. "It's gone. The crystal is clear. We did it." He held up a large stone.
"Thank God," Buffy groaned.
"Here, here," Cordy cracked.
"About bloody time!" Spike growled.
Giles stepped over to Willow.
"Is this dance taken?" he whispered in her ear.
She smiled, took his hand and they began to dance.
Angel smiled, then put an arm around Buffy. Spike pulled Cordy to him and kissed her softly. Anya looked at Xander and they embraced. Then everyone watched, smiles on their faces, as Willow and Giles danced in the rain.
