You know the deal. Joss etc. owns everything, I own nothing.

Part Two

"Xander, " Willow started off, but he wasn't listening. Instead he was staring at her outfit, and what lay underneath it, in undisguised admiration. The old Willow would have blushed, stammered and crossed her arms protectively in front of her exposed midriff, if indeed the old Willow would have been caught dead in such a revealing outfit. But this was not the old Willow. Willow the Slayer ignored her best friend's drooling and concentrated on getting him to listen to her.
"Xander, knock it off and look at my face," she said caustically. Xander raised his eyes a few inches to look into her vibrant face, and what he saw in her newly-confident expression shocked him into paying attention to her words.
"I woke up this morning feeling less like me and more like... well, more like Buffy, I suppose," she began. "When I saw the news about Faith, I reali-" She broke off abruptly as his face contorted at the thought of his former lover's death. "I'm sorry, Xand, I know you two were... intimate" she said with compassion, but, Buffy noted clinically, no jealousy whatsoever.
"Hey, it's not like we were soulmates or anything," he replied with forced lightness. "I am sorry though. But hey! Willow! Are you really... you know?"
"She certainly is," Giles broke in. "This is wonderful news. I must admit to being a little disappointed when first Kendra, and then Faith was called. It will make my job so much easier to have a Slayer who is logical and well-informed."
"Gee, thanks a whole bunch, Giles," Buffy responded wryly, and he looked abashed. "Don't worry about it, I know what you meant," she forestalled him as he opened his mouth. "I do tend to fly off the handle a little bit. But, Willow, we'll have to start training together. You have a lot to learn about attack and defense."
* * *
*Whack!* Buffy landed hard on the library floor and instantly rolled to her feet, only to be met by a solid left hook from Willow.
"Woah! Time out!" She raised her hands in submission. "Guess you don't have as much to learn as I thought! But you should get some practice with real vamps. It's not fair to keep whaling on Giles."
Willow let forth a muffled snort, as her Watcher emerged from his office, gingerly holding an icepack to his jaw and limping slightly. "He didn't put up much of a fight anyway. I need some action." And with that she was out the doors, stopping short as she remembered - "School. Oh no!"
"That's an unusual reaction for you, Will," remarked Oz as he came to a stop right behind her. "Nice outfit," he noted belatedly, mouth falling open in a manner strongly reminiscent of Xander's. Willow greeted her boyfriend with an amused smile, watching curiously as he slowly took in the enormous change in his previously virginal girlfriend.
"Hey Oz. I'm the new slayer - Giles will fill you in. I'm late for class!" And with that she took off, leaving a bruised Watcher and a bemused werewolf to stare after her as she moved sensuously down the hall, uncaring of all the male attention she was getting.
