When Cordelia and Anya had walked out of the mall and were heading 
toward Angel's car Anya said well i guess that Buffy and Willow have 
got together and they will probably be orgasism friends real 
soon.Cordelia heard this and she stopped walking and grabbed a hold 
of Anya's right arm and she said what do you mean by that.Anya who 
had only been talking to herself looked at Cordelia and realized that 
she had heard what she had said.Anya said its simple Buffy and Willow 
love each other and from what i saw of them back in the mall i guess 
that they have let each other know how they feel and are now a 
couple.Cordelia who had thought that there had been something about 
both Willow and Buffy thought about what Anya had and she realized 
that Anya was right but that she needed to talk to Anya about her 
lack of tact.Cordelia said come on lets head back to the estate and 
they continued walking toward the car.When they got to the car they 
put the bags of clothes in the backseat and then got into the 
front.Cordelia inserted the key into the ignition but she didnt start 
the car up instead she turned to face Anya.Cordelia said Anya i need 
to ask you a question and i dont want you to take it the wrong 
way.Anya said ok and she waited for Cordelia to ask her the 
question.Cordelia said Anya how do you feel toward Xander do you love 
him or is he just an orgasism friend as you sometimes say.Anya 
started to get angry and she said i love Xander and i dont want you 
or anyone calling us orgasism friends what we share is special to 
both of us and i dont care if you are his exgirlfriend so dont ever 
refer to us as that or else.Cordelia said calm down Anya i didnt mean 
anything bad i was just asking you because i want to point something 
out to you.Anya said what do you want to point out to me.Cordelia 
said i want to point out to you that somethings that people say can 
make people angry or hurt them because they are wrong.Anya said thats 
why you asked me if i loved Xander or if we were just orgasism 
friends.Cordelia said yes and i am sorry i did it but i am Willow and 
Buffy's friends and i dont want you to say anything to hurt or anger 
them especially since they will more than likely have trouble with 
people who are less than understanding about how two people of the 
same sex can love each other.Anya said you mean people will say and 
do nasty things to them because they are both women and they love 
each other.Cordelia said yes there are a lot of people out in the 
world who are predjuist of such things because of their religions,own 
ideals,or the ideals that they were brought up to believe in by their 
families and friends so they are going to need our support.Anya said 
i have seen such things many times in my lifetime but i have never 
thought about it like that and i agree with you that they will need 
our support and i will do everything i can to support 
them. 

Back at Silke's lingerie shop Willow and Buffy were at the paying 
booth that Diane who Buffy knew from her previous visits was manning 
the cash register.Buffy looked around and saw that no one was closer 
than twenty feet from her,Willow,and Diane.Buffy said hey Diane when 
did Silke hire the new girl and start selling clothes too the last 
time i was in here was about a month ago and you only had 
lingerie.Diane looked around to see who was nearby and then she 
looked at Buffy and Willow.Diane said Silke didnt hire Chandra her 
sister Velvet did after Silke left on her vacation and Velvet also 
added the clothes and other items to the store's assortment of 
lingerie.Buffy said boy i bet Silke is going to be quite shocked when 
she gets back from her vacation and sees what her sister has done to 
her store.Diane said actually Silke and Velvet both own the store but 
Silke runs the day to day stuff and Velvet does the accouting.Willow 
paid for the items and then she and Buffy headed for the mall's east 
entrance. 

As Buffy and Willow were walking over to where the motorcycles were 
parked Willow saw a burgundy toyota camary which was the same years 
model as had hers had been.Willow said Buffy lets go by Sheridan's 
toyota dealership i need to see about getting a new car.Buffy said ok 
we can go there but i want you to think about getting a pickup truck 
or whatever kind of surburban vechicle that Toyota sells.Willow 
looked at Buffy and she said why dont you want me to get another car 
i thought you liked my Camary at least you said you did.Buffy said i 
did like your Camary but i want you to have something thats a bit 
tougher than the camary was and pickups and surburbans both meet that 
requirement.Willow thought a second and then she said you are right 
so i will look into getting one so we dont have to go to Sheridan's 
toyota dealership.Buffy said why not we can still look and see what 
they have.Willow said Buffy all they have at Sheridan's dealership is 
cars and small pickups because there isnt much of market for the big 
pickups and surburbans and i rather strongly doubt that you would 
want me to get one of their small pickups.Buffy looked at Willow and 
she said your damn right i dont those things arent any better than 
the camary and other cars they sell.They unlocked the chain and put 
it in the storage compartment on the ninja.After putting on their 
motorcycle helmets they started up the motorcycles and headed for 
home. 

A few minutes later Willow felt her stomach rumbling from hunger 
and she said hey Buffy lets stop somewhere and get something to 
eat.Buffy said good idea and then she asked Willow if she had any 
preferences on where they could go to eat.Willow said well there is a 
Ruby Tuesdays on the way home and it shouldnt really be packed 
because its after two o'clock.Buffy said Ruby Tuesdays is fine with 
me because i am in the mood for a steak and baked potato and there 
isnt a better restraunt in sunnydale that has better steaks and 
potatoes than 
them. 

Seven minutes later they pulled into Ruby Tuesdays parking lot and 
they parked the motorcycles in the same parking space that was in 
front of one of the windows so they could keep an eye on the 
motorcycles while inside.They put their helmets back in the storage 
compartments and then they walked inside the restraunt.A waitress 
quickly walked up to them and asked whether they prefered a table in 
the smoking or non smoking sections and Willow said non smoking.The 
waitress got two menus and then led them over to a table in the non 
smoking section of the restraunt.They sat down at the table and the 
waitress handed them the menus,told them her name was Karen and she 
would be their waitress,and then she left them so that they could 
look over the menus.Five minutes later Karen returned to their table 
and she asked them if they were ready to order.Buffy said yes and 
then she told Karen that she wanted the number three special which 
was a 20 oz top sirloin steak and a baked potato with butter and sour 
cream.Karen asked about a salad and Buffy said a side salad with 
ranch dressing.Karen then turned to face Willow and Willow said i 
will also have a side salad with ranch dressing and then she said i 
would like the blackened redfish.Buffy looked at Karen and she said 
you serve blackened redfish now and Karen said yes its one of the new 
items we added last week and boy do the customers like it.Buffy 
looked at Willow and she said remind me to tell my mother about this 
she loves blackened redfish.Willow said why dont we surprise her 
instead we can bring her here for lunch tommorrow and order her the 
blackened redfish.Buffy smiled and she said i love the way you 
think. 

After eatting their late lunch they paid their bill and then headed 
for the house but they stopped just one more time and that was at 
Willie's where they picked up about a dozen bags of blood for 
Angel.When they walked into the house Willow said she was going to 
put up the clothes and Buffy said ok and then she headed toward the 
kitchen where she put the bags of blood down on the bottom shelf of 
the refrigerator.When Buffy walked out of the kitchen she heard 
several loud voices that were coming from the living room so she went 
to see what was going 
on. 

When Buffy walked into the living room the first thing she saw was 
Anya,Cordelia,Amy,Tara,and Oz facing Xander and Gunn who they were 
yelling at.Buffy walked up to them and she yelled what is going on in 
here.Cordelia and the others turned to face Buffy and she said Buffy 
it seems what we feared has come true and then she pointed to a 
number of large boxes that were stacked four high and there were five 
stacks side by side.Buffy looked at Xander and Gunn and she said 
those boxes had better not contain what i think they do.Gunn said 
hold on Buffy you guys need to have some heavy hardware around here 
so that you can defend the place if you are attacked.Buffy said Gunn 
none of us here with the possible exception of you and maybe Angel 
and Cordelia dont know how to even shoot a gun so what good will any 
of that stuff do us.Xander said Buffy i know how to shoot a gun and i 
can teach everyone because i still have some of the memories of the 
soldier who's uniform i wore on halloween 
night. 

A minute later Oz said hey lets all calm down and talk this 
out.Buffy said Xander you might be able to teach us how to use a gun 
but did you ever think that some of us might not want to learn how 
to.Gunn said its not a matter of whether or not any of you want to 
learn its that you all need to learn to whether or not you like it 
because one day those guns or ones like them will most likely save 
your lives because not all attacks can be stopped with wooden 
stakes,crossbow bolts,religious items,or physical force and thats 
when you will be happy to have the guns available to you.The next 
second Willow who had walked into the living room two minutes ago 
said i hate to say it guys but Gunn has a point.They all looked at 
Willow and Amy said Willow even if we couldnt repel or halt the 
attack with the things that Gunn mentioned me,you,and Tara could use 
our magic.Xander said and what if you cant use your magic or the 
magic has no effect on our attackers what are we supposed to do 
then.Buffy said Xander Gunn what exactly did you get from the 
national guard armory.Xander said we didnt get anything from the 
national Guard armory we went to see one of Gunn's old associates and 
he supplied us with everything that we wanted.Gunn said correction we 
got everything that you wanted with the exception of the heat seaking 
rockets which i wouldnt let you get.Anya said how did you pay for all 
this stuff i dont believe for one second that Gunn's old associates 
would have just have given all that stuff away if it was in good 
working order.Gunn said we paid him a million dollars which is a very 
low price for everything we got even after the discount he gave us 
after we told him about what goes on in Sunnydale.Cordelia said i 
take it that this guy used to work with you and the rest of your team 
of hunters at some time in the past.Gunn said yes he worked with us 
for about three months but then he got badly hurt and he decided he 
would stop going on hunting jobs with us but would still aid us by 
getting us the equipment we needed to hunt with.Willow said what 
exactly did you get and give us the whole list including the 
ammo. 

Gunn walked over to his jacket that was thrown over a chair and 
pulled a computer printout of the list of what they had got.Gunn 
unfolded the printout and then he looked down at it.Gunn said we got 
six m-16/m-203 combos,six steyr aug rifles,twenty glock 9mm 
pistols,twenty 44 automags,four m-60s,five of the barett 50 calibre 
rifles equipped with the latest version of the starlight vision 
system,twenty imgram mac10's,fifteen of tebyr's electronic night 
vision and gas masks combos,a case of claymores,a case of 
antipersonnel mines,20 pounds of c4,10 pounds of cv38,fifteen of the 
latest kevlar armored trenchcoats,twenty kevlar bullet proof vests. 
an assortment of grenades in he,phosporous,white light,and stun 
grenades,and then he started listing off the different types of ammo 
they had got.Buffy just shook her head and she said ok here is what 
we are going to do.Buffy said we will keep what they have brought us 
because some of it might be needed one day but until that day its all 
going to be locked up in the armory.Xander said hey wait a minute we 
need to set up some of this stuff around the estate and like you 
mentioned earlier all of you need to learn to shoot a gun.Gunn said 
yes you do and Xander can teach you because me and my old associate 
made sure that he could operate the guns properly before we let him 
have them.Oz said guys it wouldnt hurt to have several guns in each 
of the main rooms and one in each of our bedrooms in case of a 
surprise attack.Xander said and we should also place the m-60s on the 
upper balconies so we can shoot them from above as the enemy is 
approaching the house if any of them survive the anti personnel mines 
that we put around the inside of the gate.Willow looked at Xander and 
she said Xander we are not going to make this place into an armed 
camp so there will be no m-60's left on the upper balconies nor will 
we place any of the land mines on the property this is our home i 
dont want any of us getting hurt because we accidentally step on one 
of the land mines.Buffy said neither shall there be any other kind of 
boobytraps and Amy,Tara,Anya,Willow,Cordelia,and Oz agreed with her 
and then she said lets get this stuff down to the armory.Xander said 
no we should start placing some of the guns in the various rooms but 
Anya said no they are all going straight to the armory where they 
will stay until we have all learnt how to shoot them properly.Gunn 
said Anya is right Xander they shouldnt handle the guns until they 
have been taught how to use them.Xander said you are right about the 
guns but they are wrong about the land mines they could be very 
beneficial.Gunn said Xander from what i have seen since i have been 
here is that the majority rules and the majority is presently against 
that so you might as well forget it at least for the 
present. 

For the next forty-five minutes later they all moved the boxes 
from the living room and down to the armory.After all the boxes were 
in the armory and the door was locked Buffy had Willow remove 
everyone's access to the armory except for Giles and Joyce and then 
she took Willow's cardkey which allowed Willow to get into the lower 
level's computer system that the armory was directly connected 
to. 

Buffy and Willow had just walked out of the hidden passageway which 
was the only way to get to the lower level when they saw Amy,Tara,and 
Oz talking to Giles who had arrived while they were all downstairs 
placing the last group of boxes in the armory.Giles saw Willow and 
Buffy and he called them over to him.When they got over to Giles and 
the others Giles said Willow i want you to remove everybody's access 
to the armory except for me and Joyce and then you are going to have 
to hand over the cardkey to the lower levels computer system.Buffy 
and Willow smiled and Buffy pulled the cardkey out of her pocket and 
held it out to Giles.Giles said Buffy she will need that cardkey to 
do what i told her to do so give it to her.Willow said its already 
done Giles Buffy had me do it before we came upstairs.Giles took the 
cardkey and he said good thinking Buffy and then he said now i had 
better go lock it up in the library safe for safekeeping.Giles went 
straight to the library and he locked the cardkey in the safe which 
only he and Joyce knew the combination because they had had the safe 
combination changed one night when everyone else had been out of the 
house.
