Xander and Buffy stared at each other for a long time.
Xander spoke first. "Does this mean I have to kiss Angel now?" he grinned. It faded when he saw Buffy's face. "Sorry."
Buffy just kept staring at her body. Did it really look like that? She looked . . . small. She thought she was a lot taller than that. Her hair looked bad. She looked as if she had been dragged through a hedge backwards. She watched as Xander felt his-her face. She knew what was running through his mind. She knew his thoughts as well as she knew how to Slay.
"Don't even think about it."
"What!?" Buffy's face looked guilty. It was a very Xandery expression and it looked very strange on her face.
Willow and Giles watched the exchange in silence. Both looked worried.
"Will this be permanent?" Buffy shuddered at the thought.
Giles went over to the stacks. "I really don't know. I don't know how it happened. I will have to get on to some specialists. However, they're in England and it's the middle of the night there. There's nothing I can do until the morning."
"Well what are we supposed to do? Mum will notice something when I come home in Buffy's body." Xander had a point.
"I could have a sleepover." Willow ventured. "My mother won't mind. She has always said that I should have them, but I haven't really had the friends to do it."
"Good. That should give me the time to try and see if I can find anything out. There must a reason for this." Giles scratched his head. "I don't know what to do in the meantime. You can't Slay in Buffy's place. And it would look strange if Xander did it. This could be very problematic." He cleared his throat. "Well, there's nothing more to be done tonight. Go to Willow's and try to stay out of the way of anything that goes bump in the night."
"Oh, very droll." Muttered Buffy.
Xander stood up and swayed on Buffy's stiletto boots. "How on earth do you walk in these?"
"It's a girl thing."
"Stupid girl thing." Xander tottered over to his body. "Do you feel as strange as I do?"
"Yes."
"You always get what you ask for." Willow piped up.
"What do you mean?" Xander's eyes narrowed.
"When you were thirteen or fourteen you said that your ultimate wish was to be a woman for a day." Willow started to giggle again. "I shouldn't laugh but it is amusing."
"Oh, god. Yes I remember that. My and my big mouth. Well, it's one fantasy fulfilled." He rubbed his hands together in mock glee.
"Yeah, and that's the only one you're fulfilling in my body. Don't act the innocent with me I know exactly what you're thinking." Buffy gave him her 'look'. It looked very silly on Xander's face.
"Well, you. No peeking at the manly body under those clothes. I have some dignity left. And you'll have to wait until the next issue of Playgirl." He chuckled.
"Come on, lets go." Willow took both of them by the hand. She turned to Giles. "I'll try to make sure that they behave, but keeping them out of trouble will be hard."
"I'll see you in the morning. Hopefully, I'll have some good news for you. Good night."
"Good night." They chorused back.
