"**What** where you doing?!?" Buffy exclaimed, pulling Willow back toward their dorm room. "Did he make you do that? Did he make you kiss him? If he did I'll stake his ass right now." Buffy stopped and almost turned around to go after the vampire in question.
"No!" Willow spoke up, grabbing Buffy's arm. The Slayer turned back around to look at her friend. "No. He didn't make me." Willow added meekly.
"Ok." Buffy said, shaking Willow's hand off her arm and placing her own hands on her hips. "So, what were you and Spike doing?"
"Nothing. I mean...we weren't... Buffy, I didn't mean..." Willow's lip quivered and she felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"You didn't mean to jump on the picnic table and get it on with a vampire? What in the hell were you thinking?!?" Buffy shouted, waving her hands in the air.
"Buffy please..." Willow whimpered. She was confused and didn't know what to tell her friend. She didn't even know what to tell herself. However, Willow knew that she needed to find some sort of explanation to give Buffy, or the Slayer was never going to leave her alone. The witch said the first thing that came into her mind. "Spell. I, uh...I messed up this spell and it must be a side effect. Or something. Buffy, I swear..." Willow was nearly in tears.
"Spell?" Buffy asked, calming down somewhat.
Willow shook her head.
"Let's go get Giles to undo it then. He can do that, right? Undo it?"
Buffy said, grabbing Willow's hand and pulling her toward the Watcher's house.
Giles stumbled to the door in his bathrobe and cracked it open to see who was causing the insistent banging on his front door. "Buffy? Willow?" He opened the door the rest of the way, letting the Slayer barge in with Willow in tow. "What's wrong?" He asked, looking confused as he shut the door.
"Willow is what's wrong." Buffy said. "I caught her in the park on a picnic table, get this, **licking** Spike's chest. Yes, Spike, as in the vampire we all know and hate."
Willow flinched at Buffy's harsh words.
Buffy didn't even notice and continued on her ranting. "She told me that she tried some spell and it backfired. Apparently, lusting after vampires is a side effect. So, fix it."
"Excuse me?" Giles raised his eyebrows looking back and forth between Willow and Buffy.
"Undo it. Uncast it. Un-something it." The Slayer said, looking at Giles.
"Well, well umm...it's not that easy. I have to know what sort of spell it was and what it was cast for and when it was cast. I can't just simply wave my hand and 'undo it', as you so eloquently put it."
"Well?" Buffy turned to Willow. "Tell him."
"What?" Willow squeaked.
"Tell him the stuff he needs to know so he can get rid of this ick-spell. I get the wiggins when I see you getting smoochy with a vampire."
Giles raised his eyebrows. "Umm, Buffy. Once upon a time, not long ago, you and Angel were..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Buffy interrupted. "But this is different. We're talking Willow and Spike here. The gross factor is so very high."
Buffy's words brought the tears back to the witch's eyes. She wanted to speak up, but couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Giles noticed the negative effect Buffy was having on Willow. "Buffy, why don't you go find everyone else and make sure all is in order. I'll deal with Willow."
"Alrighy. You deal. I'll find. I want to see a new and improved Will when I get back though. No, bad thoughts about Spike in her mind." She smiled and patted Willow on the shoulder. "Later! Oh, and Giles?mp;euro;¦you totally need a life. You were actually home alone on New Years Eve." She called as she slammed the door behind her.
Giles rolled his eyes, turning to Willow and gesturing for her to have a seat in the living room. He left to get dressed while she sank into the couch and wished she could disappear. When he came back she had curled herself into a ball in the corner of the sofa and had her face hidden in her hands.
Giles wasn't sure how to console her, so he pulled a chair up to sit in front of her and waited for her to talk. After a few minutes of silence, he decided to speak up. "What was the spell Buffy was speaking of?"
Willow raised her head and sniffed. She hadn't told Buffy what kind of spell she had performed because the spell was supposed to set actions into motion and make her able to act on her emotions. If the Slayer knew that, then she'd know that Willow had a thing for Spike, and Willow just wasn't ready to let that cat out of the bag. However, the witch knew that she could tell Giles the truth about the spell. He was understanding and objective enough.
"I did this spell to help me act on my emotions and do things instead of just thinking about doing things. I did it about a week ago, but nothing happened...I mean, I didn't feel like doing anything out of the ordinary until now."
Giles frowned slightly in thought. He was silent for a moment and finally spoke up in a soft voice. "You like him, don't you."
"Like...like him?" Willow asked, shifting around uncomfortably on the sofa.
"Spike." Giles smiled gently.
Willow dropped her eyes to the floor. "Yes." She whispered.
Giles nodded. "I know that he's not dangerous anymore. But, you do know what you're getting into, don't you? He **is** a vampire, like it or not."
"I know." Willow replied, not looking up.
"Alright, Willow. It's your choice. I'm not going to reprimand you like Buffy, but I am I going to warn you. He's a vampire. Things could get complicated. Lord knows they did with Buffy and Angel."
Willow slowly looked up to the Watcher. "I know." She repeated, looking him in the eye. "And thank you. For not, you know, yelling at me." Willow smiled weakly.
"Well then, let's take care of that spell mishap."
"I did it on purpose, Giles."
"I know that. But casting a spell is not the way to give yourself confidence. You have to work for that. Believe in yourself." Giles explained, getting up to retrieve a book from a shelf. "We'll remove the spell's effects on you and then you can continue this...relationship with Spike without the spell dictating your actions. Ok?" Giles sat back down and opened the thick, leather-bound book.
"Ok." Willow answered, taking a deep breath.
THE END (for now...)
