Later on, in their room, Willow attempted to teach Buffy how to float 
a pencil. Being the slayer meant her focus and concentration were 
sharper than those of mere mortals so it was easier than Willow had 
feared. After an hour she was able to lift the pencil and hold it 
for a millisecond before it fell back down.
"God! I'm exhausted now," said Buffy. "I feel like I've been training 
for a week!"
"It takes a lot of mental effort," said Willow. "You did really 
well, I'm so proud of you, you little witch!" And she rewarded Buffy 
with a kiss on the nose. Buffy glowed under Willow's praise.
They both got ready for bed. Once they were under the covers and 
comfortable Willow brought up something that had occurred to her 
earlier in the evening.
"Do you think that Xander and Anya will last?"

"Who knows?" said Buffy, yawning.

"I mean, she's so emotionally closed off and weird and kind of 
bitchy."
"Oh, coz he's had such a string of warm, well adjusted relationships."

"Ahem!"

"You of course are the exception to that rule." Buffy added 
diplomatically.
"Thank you, but I suppose you're right. Not even counting super-
natural encounters  Faith and Cordelia aren't shining examples of &
anything really."

"I wouldn't say he had a relationship with Faith."

"True&I just wish that they'd admit that they do actually like each 
other." Willow snuggled into Buffy's arms and they drifted off to 
sleep.

The next evening, Willow was returning from her wicca group with her 
new friend Tara. She was taking her to Giles' to show her a book she 
knew he had. Plus she knew Buffy would be there training. Willow 
had been in classes all day then the wicca group so she was looking 
forward to seeing Buffy. But not to seeing quite as much as she did 
when she opened Giles' front door. For there, in all her glorious 
nakedness, stood Buffy. Holding a book.
"(Insert own expletive here - or check out this story on the 
Buffywantswillow list!!!!)" exclaimed Willow before she could stop 
herself. Buffy was about to approach her when she realised they were 
not alone. Tara stood in the doorway, open-mouthed, gaping at 
Buffy. Buffy quickly covered her chest with an arm and her nether 
regions with the large book she'd been holding. Willow looked 
frantically from Buffy to Tara  realising that she really should say 
something here.
"Ummm, Buffy this is Tara from my group. Tara this is my Buffy, I 
mean, this is my girlfriend Buffy. She's not usually so&so&"
"N&n&naked?" asked Tara, practically drooling.
Buffy almost waved `Hi' to Tara then realised she'd be uncovering 
something if she did so decided against it.
"Yes, naked, she usually has more clothes than this." Willow did not 
like the way Tara was looking appreciatively at Buffy's body one 
little bit. "Look, maybe you should go, I'll bring that book for you 
next week," she said as she bundled Tara physically out of the door 
and closed it.
"Bye!" called Buffy. "It was nice meeting you."

Willow looked at her, incredulous. "What the hell is going on? Why 
are you wearing no clothes in Giles' living-room?"
Buffy held up the book, apprehensively. "I was trying to cast a 
spell."
"What!?!"

"I was bored, Giles went to the store so I started flicking through 
this book and I found this spell about uncovering somebody's true 
feelings and I thought about what you were saying last night so I 
thought I'd just read it through and&"
"And `poof' all your clothes disappeared?" Buffy nodded. "Buffy," 
Willow said with a sigh, "You have to be really careful when you're 
casting spells  instead of uncovering Xander's feelings you 
uncovered yourself&completely!"
"Yes Willow, I am aware of that." Buffy said, testily. "Can you fix 
it?" She turned on her best puppy-dog eyes.
"Maybe I don't want to fix it." Willow looked at her 
suggestively. "Maybe I like you this way."
"But do you think Giles will?"

"You have a point." said Willow. "Don't you have a change of clothes 
here?"
"I took them all home last week to wash them" Buffy whined. "Can't 
you magic my clothes back?"
"I have no idea where you sent them&or how. So I can't get them 
back." Willow smirked. "You'll just have to wear something of Giles' 
until we get home."
"No way! I'm allergic to tweed."

"Do you want to walk all the way home with just a book to cover your 
dignity?"
"Come on then." Buffy grumbled heading for the stairs.


In Giles' bedroom, Willow was rifling through his drawers, throwing 
garments at Buffy.
"I am NOT wearing these!"

Willow turned to see Buffy holding up the pair of blue Y-Fronts she'd 
picked out.
"Well, I'm sorry, but Giles doesn't have any bikini briefs&
thankfully."

Buffy sighed and climbed into the underwear, trying not to think of 
Giles doing the same thing. She pulled on a white Oxford shirt and 
rolled up the sleeves. She started to do up the buttons when she 
caught Willow staring at her.
"What?" she demanded, expecting some jibe about the underwear.

"You look so damn sexy in that shirt." Willow growled, grabbing a 
handful of said shirt and yanking Buffy toward her for a kiss. Buffy 
was surprised but didn't object. The sound of the front door brought 
them back to reality. Buffy quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and 
rolled about a foot of material up at the bottom.
"I won't bother with shoes, we'll get Giles to drive us home." 

After a quick, and edited version of events, Giles did just that.  
The sight of Buffy in his clothes was a bit disturbing.
Once they were safely back in their room, Buffy discovered that 
Willow seemed to really like the Huckleberry Finn look on her.  
Although, the clothes didn't stay on for long. After a game of Tom 
and Huck they showered together and decided to have an early night 
for a change. As they lay spooned together they discussed the day's 
events.
"I think I'll leave the magic to you in future, Will."

"I think that's wise," said Willow sleepily.

"And I'll stick to watching Xena  there's not much that could get me 
into trouble on that show."
"Unless you start throwing a metal ring at people and cutting off the 
blood to their brain&the outfit might look good on you though&"  
Willow's voice tailed off. Buffy decided to let her sleep. She 
kissed her shoulder.
"Goodnight babe."

"Mmmm, night." Willow's breathing became slow and even. Buffy lay 
awake, still turning the day over in her head. She wondered where 
her clothes had ended up. Willow shifted and started mumbling.  
Buffy's ears pricked up  this was usually entertaining.
"Mmmm&Buffy&blue underpants&yeah&sexy&.ohhh&."

Buffy's eyebrows were practically in her hair. Hmmm, maybe when she 
returned Giles' clothes there would be one item missing. She smiled 
and settled down to sleep, dreaming of blue underpants and skirts 
made from bookmarks&and Willow of course.
THE END (Silly I know, but I had fun writing it!)
