Spike stretched up and swung his legs over the side of the sarcophagus. He ran his hand through his hair and it ran and ran and ran. “What the…†he exclaimed as he suddenly realised his hair seemed to be down to his waist. It was still platinum though. He pulled it to see if he was dreaming but winced in pain as he realised that it was. He stood up quickly and suddenly realised that his t- shirt didn’t seem to fit right and he looked down and then back up again and then down. He then looked inside his shirt to make sure he wasn’t dreaming and then sat on the floor with a thud when he realised he wasn’t. “Oh bloody hell…†and then he stopped there was something else. His voice was higher and lighter. He stood up quickly and exclaimed “What the hell have they done to me!†before grabbing his duster and storming out of his crypt.
“Nothing happened,†Anya cried.
“Sorry,†Willow replied. “But it is a really unpredictable spell it can’t always be right.â€
Thank god,†mumbled Xander.
“What?†Anya asked suspicious.
“Nothing look we tried it, and it didn’t work that’s all there is to it. Come on lets go now.â€
“But I wanted you to see what it’s like to be a woman for a little bit,†Anya whined “and you promised that you would do one thing I asked,â€
“Yes, but I didn’t expect this!†Xander shouted.
“See, you don’t care how I feel,â€
“Look, Anya, we tried it and it didn’t work. And I do care how you feel or I wouldn’t have done it would I,†he reasoned.
“I guess not, okay lets go home then,†she replied finally.
“Thank you,†he announced. “And thanks will,†he whispered
“I didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t know why it didn’t work,†The red head replied equally quietly.
“You mean you were really going to turn me into a woman,†he hissed.
“Well yes, you did want to,â€
“Only to please Anya†the boy replied furiously.
“Oh sorry, at least it didn’t work,†she added apologetically.
“Yeah,†Xander added miserably before leaving with Anya.
“I guess I may as well throw all of this away,†She told Tara. “It’s useless anyway.â€
“Yeah, I’ll help†the blond answered.
Giles opened the door to find a very angry woman on his doorstep. She would be quite attractive, Giles thought if her face wasn’t contorted into such fury. “Rupert, let me in right now!†she screamed.
Giles was taken aback, “Do I know you?â€
“Of course you bloody know me, you git!†she shouted Now let me in and fix whatever the hell it is you’ve done to me!â€
Then he saw it, the leather coat, the familiar accent. The bleach blond hair the caustic remarks, “Spike?†he ventured.
“No it’s the bloody Queen mother,†he replied sarcastically “now let me in and fix this.†He demanded.
“C…come in,†he stuttered in surprise as she stormed past him and collapsed into the chair. Giles closed the door and walked to the couch. Never taking his eyes off Spike.
“Look, I’m not a bleeding freak show.â€
“Oh, um… sorry. It’s just,†Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Both heads shot up, “that’s probably Buffy,†Giles replied.
Spike paled well as much as he could being a vampire, “don’t let her in,†Spike said quickly.
“What?â€
“Look the last thing I need is her, or the whelp finding out. I’d never hear the end of it.â€
“Fine but if she does come in you have to take the duster off.â€
Now it was Spike’s turn to go “What?â€
“Look it’s a dead give away and another thing keep your mouth shut. Otherwise she’ll realise it’s you in an instant.†The watcher ordered. â€Hurry up she’s going to get suspicious.â€
Spike sighed heavily and handed his duster over, “Happy?†he asked throwing Giles a death glare.
He ignored him and opened the door. “Oh hello Buffy, ready for your patrol.â€
“Yeah I just thought you know with all that dark magic around if you wanted me to check anywhere else tonight.â€
“Oh god, that reminds me, I have to give you a talisman, now where was it,†Giles mumbled before he went inside forgetting totally about Spike who glared at Giles until Buffy walked in and had a panicked smile on his face. Giles suddenly realised his mistake and then quickly said, “Buffy this is my niece S…Sarah from England. She’s just here for a few days.†Whilst searching through his draws looking for it.
“Hi I’m Buffy†Buffy introduced herself. “You know you remind me of someone,â€
“Must be Rupert,†Spike said quickly.
“Yeah, that’s probably it,†Buffy said slowly.
“Found it!†Giles said a little too loudly. Buffy turned round took the talisman from Giles and put it around her neck.
“Well, bye Sarah, nice meeting you,†Buffy said before she turned around and kicked her in the face.
“Buffy what are you doing?†Giles asked her.
“She’s a vampire Giles.†She replied between blows.
“Get the stupid bint off me!†Spike screamed out.
Buffy paused; she looked at the vampire and cocked her head to one side, steak in hand. “What did you just say?â€
Spike stood there a little dumbfounded. Rubbing his face from where he had just been kicked, “nothing†he answered petulantly.
“Why didn’t you fight back?†she asked.
“What is this 20 bloody questions, I didn’t say anything okay!â€
Buffy’s eyes widened and she laughed. Spike’s heart fell into his stomach. She knew and he knew it. “Spike?â€
“No†Spike answered mutinously.
“It is you, sort of,†she exclaimed.
“Okay, but you say one word of this to anyone and you’re dead. Got it!†He threatened.
Yeah,†she replied trying to suppress her laughter but failed miserably. Spike just gave her a dirty look and slumped back in the chair again nursing his jaw. “What happened,†she asked between giggles.
“How the hell should I know? “He replied angrily “I just woke up and look at me.â€
“I had better phone Willow and see if she knows anything.†Giles announced smiling.
“Oh great so Red’s going to know as well, is she?â€
“I’m going to need help with this, she’s a witch, I’m not,†he reasoned.
“All right just make sure no one else finds out.â€
Giles picked up the phone and started dialling.
“Do you know something, you actually look good as a woman,†Buffy told him covering a smile.
“Shut up!†Spike answered “What’s taking so long watcher?â€
“She’s just going to check something. Oh she’s back. Yes I’m here. What? Oh okay. I’ll tell him and you’d better come over here with the book.â€
“What? It’s her fault isn’t it?†Spike asked.
Giles nodded slowly she’s coming over here with the book. The good news is that the effects only last 24 hours.
“What! I can’t stay one hour like this. I don’t want to stay 24! Ain’t there a reversal spell or summat?â€
“Wait a minute,†Spike sighed frustrated as Giles continued on the. Then he looked back at Spike. “There is a reversal spell,†he said slowly. “Unfortunately there’s some bad news.â€
What you mean looking like this wasn’t bad enough?â€
“The ingredients they had for the reversal of the spell they threw away because they thought the spell didn’t work. And now it’s mixed up with all the other rubbish. They can’t get it back.â€
“Oh bloody hell, why can’t you lot ever leave things alone. Bloody idiots the lot of ya!†he shouted angrily.
“Look they’re bringing the book. I can see if I have the ingredients then we can pop to the magic shop and perform the reversal spell. Okay? Just sit tight.â€
Spike agreed reluctantly as Giles passed him his duster back.
“Nothing happened,†Anya cried.
“Sorry,†Willow replied. “But it is a really unpredictable spell it can’t always be right.â€
Thank god,†mumbled Xander.
