"Oh my god!" Giles' jaw dropped after Willow explained the story 
behind the forlorn puppet cradled in her arms. "How did it happen?"
"Tara." Willow stated, simply.
Giles fumed. "That's it. Irresponsible witch! I'll mince her into 
burgers!"
"Hey!" Willow exclaimed, offering a token protest. She was about to 
say more when a window shattered, and a demon forward-rolled into the 
house. The demon glared, spittle dripping venomously from its fangs. 
"Puny mortals," it cried, "prepare to meet your doom!"
"No way," Giles becried, scooping up GP Buffy and putting her 
on. "No time to explain!" he explained to a mortified and scandalised 
slayer. "Just do your thing!"
The naked Slayer glared, grabbed the demon, and snapped its neck in 
a move that extricated her from Giles' hand. She reverted to floppy 
puppet form.
Giles chewed his lip. "I think I like her better this way..."
Willow nodded. "I kinda like the activation sequence," she admitted.
