Faith and Cordelia descended the staircase, smiling and satisfied?for 
the moment. The sight that greeted them was not what they had 
expected at all. Buffy and Vamp-Willow had swapped outfits for some 
reason. And Willow had become very interested in the contents of the 
leather bustier Buffy now wore.

"So this is the plan is it? Everybody swaps clothes? What, is it 
like some big slumber party?" Faith asked grinning.

"No Faith, if you had been here instead of wherever you were you 
would know that Spike's back in town and wants to kill Willow." said 
Buffy, really enjoying the moral high ground Faith's libido afforded 
her. "So we're going to let Vamp Willow loose on him for a while."

"Vamp Willow?that's far too long a name, we can't keep callin' her 
that all the time." said Faith who never expended more energy than 
required on people's names.

"So what do you suggest?" asked Willow. "Because we're not calling 
her Willow?because that's me."

Faith thought for a moment. "Why don't we call her Bug? Geddit?  
Vamp-Willow? V-W? V-W Bug?" 

Faith laughed long and loud at her suggestion. Cordelia watched with 
an air of pity.

"You can see I don't go out with her for her dazzling wit."

During this little exchange Vamp Willow had come up beside Cordelia.

"I like your outfit." she said flirtatiously.

"Well duh! Of course you do." Cordelia shook her head, as if it was 
possible to fault her fashion sense.

"You tasted so good when I ate you."

"WHAT?!?" Faith had now stopped laughing and had a stake poised in 
front of VW's still heart. "And when exactly did this `eating' take 
place?" She looked accusingly at Cordelia who was just as clueless 
as she was.

"In my world." VW's bottom lip stuck out as she reminisced. "Xander 
and I shared her, we drank her blood and it tasted so sweet?I could 
feel her fear?she was trembling in my arms?I love it when they 
tremble." She looked at Faith and licked her lips, taunting her.  
Faith drew the stake back but was restrained from plunging it home by 
Buffy and Angel.

"You just keep your hands and teeth and any other parts of your body 
away from my girl. You got that?" Faith shouted as she struggled 
with her assailants. Cordelia came and stood behind Faith, she now 
knew how Angel had felt earlier and she didn't like it.

VW sighed and tugged at the silvery vest thing Buffy had given her.

"Now what's wrong? You're not wearing the pink thing." Buffy had 
been annoyed about having to wear VW's leather ensemble but seeing 
the effect it had on Willow had lessened the discomfort.

"I know but?doesn't anybody wear basic black in this world? Except 
my puppy of course." She growled low in her throat at Angel who now 
joined Cordelia behind Faith.

"OK, so the plan is that we put Vamp Willow out somewhere that Spike 
will find her. We hide and watch her beat him up, then we stake him 
and come back here for coffee and donuts." Buffy looked around for 
confirmation, received none and took this to mean that at least no-
one disagreed with her. "Well, let's get this over with." She took 
Willow's hand as they exited the mansion. "I hope I don't have to 
fight in this outfit, it's kind of restrictive."

"That's one word for it."

*****

Vamp-Willow stood in the middle of a small clearing. She was 
thoroughly bored and losing hope fast of ever getting to fight 
anyone. In nearby bushes Buffy, Willow, Faith and Cordelia were 
hiding, ready to step in should the need arise. Anya and Xander had 
sneaked off again. Angel and Giles were in a similar set of bushes 
across the clearing. Vamp Willow kept making very rude gestures at 
those particular bushes to keep herself entertained.

"I'm sorry Cordelia." Willow whispered, the guilt becoming too much 
for her.

"For what?"

"For biting you."

"Shit C, is everyone gettin' a piece of you? When the hell did Red 
bite you?"

"No, not me personally?you know?in the other world place."

"Oh, well, that's OK Willow?I'm not one to hold grudges against 
people for things their alternate selves did in another world."

"Thanks." Willow felt better now. Except for when she thought about 
drinking Cordelia's blood, then she felt queasy.

"Shhhhh, there's Spike." said Buffy, watching the peroxide blonde's 
approach.

And Spike it was. He was staggering slightly, obviously Willy's 
hadn't been the only public house he had frequented since his arrival 
in Sunnydale. Vamp Willow perked up when she realised she was going 
to get some violence after all.

"Spike?" she asked, just to make sure she had the right guy.

"Red? Jesus, what you doing out here all alone? No-one ever tell 
you that you can get hurt at night in a place like this?"

"Uh, yeah?but I'm so young and?naïve?that I just had to have a walk 
in the nice night air." She put a finger in her mouth. "Are you 
going to kill me now?"

"Normally I'd jump at the chance love." Spike stumbled slightly over 
his words. "But I'm a man on a mission tonight?I got me a Slayer's 
bitch to kill."

"But that's me?I'm Willow?I go out with the nasty ol?I mean gorgeous 
and sexy slayer."

"'Course you do sweetheart, but I'm talking about the other one?the 
one with the nice cleavage." Spike got a soppy smile on his face as 
he pictured said cleavage. So did Vamp Willow.

Meanwhile back in the bushes there was a great deal of commotion 
taking place.

"So you're tellin' me that he never actually said he was gonna kill 
Willow? He just said the Slayer's girlfriend?" Faith was trying to 
sort out the details.

"Well?yeah?I guess so." Damn, Buffy hated being wrong.

"And your Goddess complex kicked in and you assumed that he meant you 
right?" Cordelia loved a good cat-fight, especially between Faith 
and Buffy, and so was eager to pour oil on the fire.

"No?not exactly?I just thought?wait a minute, you've never met Spike, 
why the hell would he want to kill your girlfriend?" Buffy struggled 
to maintain the argument without losing face.

"Aside from all the normal reasons?" Willow added in a low voice.  
She earned dirty looks from Faith and Cordelia but they were too busy 
with Buffy to reply to the comment.

"I have met Spike actually?he wanted to jump my bones one night?I 
refused?I guess he must've seen me later with C and it drove him wild 
with jealousy or somethin'."

"Oh Faith, I think you're rating your sexual attractiveness a bit 
highly here." said Buffy.

"No she's not." Cordelia put in with a knowing look. Faith beamed 
with pride.

"Look, we can sort all this out later?we have more pressing problems 
to deal with."

"Uh, guys?I think our problems have disappeared." Willow said, 
tugging on the back of Buffy's top.

The other three turned to see Giles and Angel spread-eagled on the 
ground and that Spike and Vamp Willow had vanished.

"Shit." Synchronised slayer swearing. They ran to help the men to 
their feet.

"What happened?" Buffy asked, looking from one to the other.

"Well, it appears that you weren't watching closely enough to know 
that Spike and Vampire Willow took quite a shine to each other?it 
would seem that they plan to marry soon. Of course, Angel and I 
attempted to stop them from leaving, assuming that the Slayers would 
come to our aid. When no such help arrived we were quickly 
overpowered and they escaped."

Buffy looked at Angel, shocked that he had put up such a poor fight.  
He shrugged helplessly.

"She gave me a wedgie!" He pulled at his trousers uncomfortably.

"Great, now Spike has a new wacko girlfriend and Vamp Willow has a 
new Puppy. Maybe they'll just get a house somewhere and live happily 
ever after?" Buffy tried to look on the bright side.  

"Well, I don't believe they'll stay here much longer so we'll just 
have to stay vigilant and keep our ears to the ground." Giles dusted 
himself off and marched off in the general direction of his house.  
Angel also excused himself, still pulling at his underwear.

"Hey B, maybe next time you'll remember that there are two slayers in 
this town huh?" Faith smiled in a menacing fashion. She turned to 
face Cordelia. "You tired?"

"Not really."

"Cool, me neither." And with that they ran off towards Faith's 
skanky motel room, to engage in immoral liaisons. And a little 
screwing too.

Buffy sighed heavily. She turned to see Willow with a very strange 
expression clouding her features.

"What's wrong?"

"I was just thinking?I don't like the thought that Spike is?doing 
stuff?with someone who looks exactly like me."

Buffy sighed again. This thought didn't exactly please her either.  
She decided to look on the only bright side of this whole sorry 
affair.

"OK, but look, we get to keep the outfit."

*****

One year later, LA.

"Faith, are you home yet?" Cordelia struggled to open the door with 
all the grocery bags she was carrying. The door suddenly opened and 
one of the bags floated out of her arms.

"Thanks Dennis, you're such a gentleman." She raised her 
voice. "Which is more than could be said for Faith."

"What are you yackin' about now C? I'm busy doin' the dusting if you 
must know."  

Faith's voice came in from the living room. Cordelia was intrigued 
by the thought of Faith with a duster and polish and couldn't resist 
a peek. She was glad she looked for she found Faith stretching up 
with a feather duster to get a cobweb in the corner of the room, 
wearing nothing but her Indiana Jones hat. Cordelia's breath caught 
in her throat as she stood and watched the vision in front of her.  
Faith slowly turned around and grinned.

"I found it when I was tidyin' up in the bedroom. Thought you might 
like to make a sequel."

"Most definitely Doctor Jones." Cordelia said, her eyes still raking 
over Faith's body.  

She moved forward and grabbed hold of her waist, drawing her into a 
long sensuous kiss. She continued to rain kisses down Faith's neck 
and shoulders as Faith spoke.

"Oh, we got a letter from B and Red today."

"Mmmhmmm?" She kissed along the collarbone.

"Sounds like the scary-fairy and X-man are getting' pretty serious."

"Good." She moved back up to Faith's neck, cupping her breasts as 
she did so.

"Giles is singin' in some café place."

"Whatever." Nibbling on earlobe.

"Oh and Spike got dumped again. Sounds like VW is obsessed with some 
little blonde witch chick called Tara or somethin'."

"That's great, now are you gonna shut up and start excavating me?"

"You don't have to tell me twice C."

And without another word Faith scooped Cordelia up into her arms and 
carried her to the bedroom, eager to get started on her next crusade.

THE END
