When they got to the apartment that Caine had arranged for them to 
temporarily use they took turns taking showers.Cordelia and Faith 
went first since they called it first.About four minutes after Faith 
and Cordelia had turned on the showers Buffy and Willow banged on the 
doors to the bathrooms.Cordelia stuck her head out from behind the 
shower curtain and yelled what do you want.Buffy yelled back i want 
you and Faith to save me and Willow some hot water we have to take a 
shower to you know.Faith who had heard what Buffy had said turned off 
the water and a few seconds later Cordelia did the same.

Faith was the first one out of the bathrooms so Willow and Buffy 
entered the bathroom that she had vacated.They quickly got undressed 
and climbed into the shower before turning on the water as not to 
waste the hot water that was left.Buffy poured some of the herbal 
liquid soap into her right hand and then handed the bottle to 
Willow.They quickly started bathing each other with the soap making 
sure not to miss any spots.After washing their bodies it was time to 
wash their hair and Buffy picked up the shampoo bottle.By the time 
they had finished rinsing their hair the water was beyond luke 
warm.They climbed out of the shower and started drying themselves off 
because they were very tired and didnt want to risk getting anymore 
aroused than they already were.It took about twenty minutes and three 
large towels to get Willow's hair completely dry.As Willow looked 
into a mirror she said Buffy i am thinking of getting my hair 
cut.Buffy looked at Willow and she said why i thought you love having 
long hair.Willow said i do but it takes so much care that i am not 
sure its worth having and anyway someone could use my long hair 
against me in a fight.Buffy said Willow just take a couple days to 
think about it and not jump to a rash decision because you might 
change your mind.Willow said your right and if i decide to get it cut 
i want it to be the hair stylist that does your hair.

When Buffy and Willow walked out of the bathroom they saw that 
almost all the lights were out except for a small lamp on the right 
side of the bed they were to use.They walked over to the bed and 
Willow turned off the light since she liked sleeping on the right 
side of the bed.It took them less than a minute to get into the 
normal comfortable position they slept in.Less than two minutes later 
they were both sound asleep in each others arms.

At the Raven Xena said we need to get word to Buffy and the others 
that the meeting is going to be held the night after next.Marcus said 
I will drop by Nick's place tonight and tell Angel the news he can 
tell them via phone.Gabrielle said Xena what about the guns they had 
last night are we going to let them keep them.Xena said no we are not 
and then she said me and you should check out where they are staying 
and take the guns from them.Marcus said thats not neccessary because 
they dont have those guns with them.Xena said what do you mean.Marcus 
said after they left the crib i followed them for a little while and 
i saw them lock several duffle bags in storage lockers at a bus 
station.Xena said so they dont have the guns with them.Marcus said 
the only guns they have with them are the ones that were taken from 
their motel rooms.Gabrielle said they must have taken the guns there 
for safekeeping in case they ever needed them again.Xena said your 
probably right and then she turned to face Marcus.Xena said but just 
to make sure it might be a good idea to have the storage lockers 
placed under watch while they are here in Toronto.Marcus said i will 
contact Lassiter and have him assign two of Michelle's team to watch 
Buffy and the others.Gabrielle said it might be a wiser idea to have 
two enforcers at the bus station in case Willow uses her magic to 
open a portal to the bus station so they can get the guns without 
anyone knowing.Marcus said your right and i had better call Lassiter 
so he can take care of it.

Xena said Marcus now that the subject of guns has brought up we need 
to discuss what weapons Buffy and the others will be allowed to have 
at the meeting.Marcus looked at Xena with a look of shock on his face 
and he said Xena none of them will be allowed to take any weapons to 
the meeting.Xena said Marcus there is no way in Tartarus that Buffy 
and the others will go to the meeting unarmed.Marcus said Xena not 
even enforcers are allowed to go before the council armed with 
weapons.Xena said i understand what your saying but there is 
something you dont understand or havent realized.Marcus said what are 
you talking about.Gabrielle said because of the note that was left in 
Angel's motel room Buffy and the others think that it could have been 
a warning as well as a threat.Marcus said a warning and Xena said yes 
and because of it they will not go to the meeting unarmed.Marcus 
thought a moment and then he said Xena i dont see anyway that they 
can go armed to the meeting the council of elders much less the 
enforcers assigned to protect them wont allow it.Gabrielle said well 
if they cant go armed to the meeting i strongly feel that they will 
decide not to attend it at all.Marcus said they cant refuse to go to 
the meeting that will be an insult to the council of elders and one 
they will not be able to let pass.Xena said it is up to the council 
of elders either Buffy and the others go armed or they will just have 
to accept that they wont attend the meeting.Marcus said cant you talk 
to them Xena and explain the situation so they will go to 
meeting.Xena said i will talk to them but it is up to them to decide 
what they are going to do.Gabrielle said is it possible the council 
of elders can make a compromise in this case.Marcus said what kind of 
compromise and Gabrielle said at least allow them to be armed with 
their swords and other personal weapons.Marcus said your not talking 
about guns and Gabrielle said no i am talking about 
swords,knives,Cordelia's whiplash,and Angel's battle ax.Xena said 
thats not saying that they will agree to go with just those weapons.

The next morning Caine let himself into the apartment Faith and the 
others were using right as a pinkish orange highlights started to 
appear on the eastern horizon.Caine walked over to the bed Buffy and 
Willow were in and he called out to her knowing better than to touch 
a sleeping slayer.Buffy opened her eyes a little bit and she said its 
already morning.Caine said its dawn now hurry up and get the others 
up i will be waiting outside for all of you.

Buffy watched Caine walk out of the room and after hearing the front 
door shut behind him she shook Willow awake.Willow looked at Buffy 
and she said why did you wake me up.Buffy said because its dawn and 
Caine is waiting for us outside the apartment.Buffy and Willow 
climbed out of bed and Willow said Buffy you go wake those two up 
while i get us some clothes out to wear.Buffy shook Cordelia awake 
and she said come on Queen C its time to get up.Cordelia looked up at 
Buffy and she moaned its too early to get up.Buffy said its dawn and 
Caine is waiting outside so get your lazy butt out of bed.Cordelia 
tried to sit up but she laid back down and she said you will have to 
go without me my body hurts to much to go workout today.Faith who had 
been awakened by all the talking threw back the covers and got out of 
bed.Faith said Cordelia its better that you get out of bed on your 
own before i pick you up and put you under a cold shower.Cordelia 
turned to face Faith and she said you wouldnt dare.Faith said oh i 
wont huh and she walked over to the bed stalking Cordelia.Faith 
glanced over at Willow and she said Red go turn on the cold water 
Cordelia is getting ready to get a cold shower.Willow decided to play 
along and she said ok and then headed for a bathroom.Cordelia jumped 
out of bed and she said no one is going to give me a cold 
shower.Buffy said hey cut it out we need to get dressed before Caine 
decides to come back in to see whats taking us so long.
