The next day was like any other at Sunnydale High. Larry and the rest of the football team were bragging about how they had won the 'big game' against Northdale 47-3, Cordy and her flock were chatting about make-up and fashion, and Xander was back searching the halls for signs of the slayer and the hacker.
In the library, Buffy and Willow were helping Rose and Jack with the first thing they'd have to change to become 'normal' in their new surroundings:the clothes. Rose had secretly spent the night at Buffy's, picking from the assorted dresses the slayer had stashed away and had decided on a knee-length lavender sundress, while Jack was trying on some of Oz's shirts they had in the cage for his special time of the month.
"Having trouble Jack?" Buffy called, peering into the open cage door.
"Hold on!" Jack grunted as he struggled into a pair of jeans, zipped them, and walked into view. Buffy's jaw dropped at the sight of the blonde in the open blue flannel shirt, black T-shirt and dark blue jeans.
"Wow! You and Oz are the same size!" Willow called, smiling at the look on the slayer's face.
"Are you sure people won't notice?" Jack asked, shifting uncomfortably.
"Please, you look better than Xander!" Buffy said.
"Who looks better than me?" asked a boy. Xander bounded through the door and threw his bag into one of the chairs at the table. "No one looks better than me!"
"See Xander, I told you all you needed was some chicken soup and you'd be all better!" Will told him, walking to the three.
"Chicken soup? Does that really work?"
"Well, Xander *is* here today, isn't he?"
"Will, it's the second day of school. "
"Who's he?" Xander asked, pointing to Jack.
"Jack Dawson. " He held out his hand, which Xander shook, introducing himself. "I'm Xander, their amazingly smart friend. "
"Sorry I'm late. " Rose called,.coming from the doors, attempting to keep the sundress below her bare knees.
"Oh please say you're here to see me. . . " Xander whispered hopefully, staring at the newcomer.
"Rose! Wow. " Jack said, walking to her.
"Do I look okay? I mean, am I supposed to get those many. . . looks?" Rose asked Buffy, pointing through the windows at all the staring boys.
"Don't mind those losers. They're just in a hormonal overdrive. " Buffy said, guiding her new friend to the table.
"So what do we do now?" Jack inquired, sitting with her.
"Well. . . uh. . . Will, Xander and I have to get to class. Giles is just in the lounge grabbing coffee, or tea actually, so he should be back. And we'll see you after. Okay?"
"Sure. " The two replied, nodding. The teenagers smiled and walked out as the cup totting librarian reentered.
"W-whose the babe in your dress, Buff?" Xander asked as they headed off to Study Hall.
"It's hard to explain. We'll tell you later. " Willow said. The three walked the rest of the way to class in silence, the girls smiling and the boy drooling over the memory of Rose's unconsciously low cut choice of attire.
