Not saying which five - it might give away the story, if there was
actually a plot!

Willow heard voices, but they seemed distant. She opened her eyes
and saw blurred shapes leaning over her. She heard her name called
and shook her head in an attempt to focus. Swallowing hard, she
finally found her voice.
"What happened?"
"You fainted. You used a spell?" Giles was concerned for Willow, but he needed to know exactly how she had 'contained' Angel.
"I think so. It's all a blur. I just knew I needed to get
out of there before I did
something I might regret...I mean, before he killed me, 'cause I'm
pretty sure I'd regret that." Willow hoped no-one had noticed her
slip-up.
She was nearly a hundred percent certain that Angelus couldn't seduce
her, but not quite.
"Where did you learn that spell? I mean, you've never been a good
witch." Anya's typically blunt comment brought stares from everyone,
and Xander tightened his hold on her hand in an attempt to persuade
her to be quiet.
"I don't know. It just came to me."
"It's not unheard of in situations like these. Willow has always
possessed a certain power, she's just had some...er...dificulty in harnessing
it." Giles began to clean his glasses, a sure sign that he was
worried.
"I don't want to interrupt this little discussion, but what are we going
to do about him?" Buffy pointed towards the office, where Angelus
was
currently throwing himself against the door in an attempt to force
it open.
"Not to forget the Chaos Demon." Cordelia reminded Buffy.
"Don't tell me it's awake already?" Buffy sighed.
"No. I don't think that's gonna be an issue. Your mom convinced
everyone to leave after the 'gang related incident', but Riley's still
in there
with her." Xander laughed nervously. "He appears
to be singing a lullaby - to the demon."
Buffy huffed as everyone around her began to laugh. Willow smothered her giggles and coughed to get everyone's attention.
"I think I know what to do about Angelus."
