__Kiss The Girl__
By Angelwakes
"So what's with the Scooby meeting, Wills? And where are Fred and Daphne?"
Xander launched himself on the bed next to Oz, who was watching his
girlfriend almost vibrate as she sat cross-legged on Buffy's bed.
*Buffy* is patrolling and *Giles* is researching the latest nasty. *We* are going to
sort them out once and for all."
"Okay, Wills, ease up, just the Xand-man here... and can I just say, why do we have to sort out
our two fearless leaders?"
Willow sighed and explained slowly as though talking to a small child, "Because they are in love,
Xander."
"Huh?"
"Oz, help me out here, please."
"Giles loves Buffy, Buffy loves Giles."
#There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl#
Xander sat thunderstruck as the idea of Buffy and Giles as a couple sunk in. "Xander, for a guy
who spent most of his adolescence watching Buffy, don't you notice other people watching her,
too?" Willow smiled at the expression on her best friend's face.
"B-but he's her Watcher, he's supposed to watch her... just... not in a non-watchery
way!" Xander spluttered. "He doesn't, does he?" He turned to face Oz who gave him a slow
serious nod.
#Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl#
"How do you know all this Wills?"
"I've watched them together and recently Buffy has become Super Slaygal... and tweed is making
a comeback." She paused, remembering Buffy's sobbing the night before. "I think they are trying
to be what they think the other wants and failing miserably. Did that make sense?"
"Yes, but then I have a degree in Willow logic." She blew a kiss at her boyfriend.
"How long have they been in love, then?" Xander was still confused.
"Well for Buffy, I think it's only just recently, but the way Giles looked at her at Prom, I
thought he was going to ask her to dance."
"She was dancing with Deadboy though."
"Yeah, poor Giles."
#Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl#
"Okay, so what are we going to do then, Wills? How are we going to get them together?"
Xander paled as he saw the look on his friend's face. He knew that look.
That look meant a spell that could possibly - hell probably would - go
wrong. It seemed Oz had reached the same conclusion.
"Wills...."
"Willow..."
"Hey, relax, guys. I've done the research, this spell is foolproof," the guys shared a look,
"it's really simple. It will mean they can hear each others' thoughts, but only
one at a time and for about fifteen minutes each. It's temporary guys okay,
so calm down and let me concentrate."
#Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl#
"Right, I've timed it to trigger when Buffy enters Giles' apartment - 'cause she'll be checking
in after patrol."
"Who's going to be first with the mind-reading?" Oz was curious.
"Giles, then Buffy. I don't know how he feels about her - it's only a very good guess."
"How do you know Buffy's feelings for G-man are real?"
Willow glared at the dark haired boy. "She talks in her sleep and she's had some very revealing
dreams lately."
"Prophecy types?"
"No Xand, more like playgirl type."
"Oh....oh! That image I can do without, Wills."
#Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl#
The three Scoobies sat wondering how their plans were going. "I don't suppose you know an
eavesdropping spell Wills?" Patience was never one of Xander's strong points.
"Yeah...sort of, but we have to be within twenty metres of the person we want to hear."
"I have the van." Oz said.
"And we're mobile." Xander said as they left the dorm room.
#Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play#
They pulled up outside the apartment complex just in time to see the Slayer knocking on
her Watcher's door.
#Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl#
"Oh boy!" Willow breathed "Showtime."
