Part 4
Willow ran up to Buffy the next morning, as she walked up the steps to school. "Do you think he fell for it?" Willow asked.
"I think so. I know I felt him following me to the Bonze, and I talked to myself about it so much he must of thought I was crazy," Buffy replied.
"Great! Giles wanted us to report to the library before homeroom."
"Well we mustn't keep Giles waiting," Buffy replied saucily, as they darted towards the library. Giles and Xander were already there when they arrived.
"Good morning ladies. So did the bat fly away?" Xander asked. Everyone gave Xander a questioning look.
"Did the fish take the bait?"
"..."
"It's spy talk."
"Yes, ... right. Well do you think Angelus heard you?" Giles asked
"I think so. I could feel him following me on the way to the Bronze, and we talked about the plan at the entrance to the Bronze. I didn't get the feeling he was following me the rest of the night. I kept mumbling and dropping hints though, so now half of Sunnydale thinks I'm crazy," Buffy replied.
"Well, we'll see if he believed you tonight," Giles said.
"When's witch woman showing up?" Xander asked.
"She called this morning and said she's having a little trouble, but will be here by the end of school. She's going to explain everything then, so don't dilly dally" Giles said.
"Oh, right ho," Xander said in a fake British accent. Giles awarded him with a glare.
"Great!" Buffy said as the bell rang, "Not so great. Gotta go before Principal Snyder shows up."
"He still intent on expelling you," Willow asked, as they headed for the door.
"Yep."
"He must not see that ... killer charm," Xander replied dramatically.
The girls gave him a disgusted look before starting off down the hall.
"What? That wasn't too bad," Xander yelled after them, as he chased
them down the hall. Giles simply smiled before returning to his books.
Buffy looked happier then she had been since her birthday. He just
hoped that they weren't bringing her hopes up just to shatter them.
