Part 16
“So wait. He said Spike’s alive? SPIKE’S alive. ALIVE? But… he can’t be!”
“That’s what he said. He wanted to know why nobody told him.”
“Because I saw him DIE, Willow. I mean, I SAW it! I told you! He… burned up from the inside and it… saved the world.”
“I know, Buffy! I’m not saying it’s true. That’s just what he said! But… he seemed so sure.”
“Uh-huh. This is XANDER we’re talking about, right? One eye… maybe not seeing so good these days?”
A snort. “He sees well enough to make millions writing his books, Buffy. I… look, I’m not saying it really IS Spike…”
“Right.” A smile in the voice. “Because let’s face it, Will. If it was, he’d have totally gotten in touch with me. He LOVED me, you know?”
Uncomfortable silence.
“What, Willow? What aren’t you telling me?”
“Um…”
“Okay, SPILL, young lady!”
Another sigh. “Um, Xander said he and Spike are um… luvvurds.”
“Buzzards? They’re buzzards? Ew, that’s just gross. They what? Go out looking for roadkill for dinner? Or OH, NO! Is Xander a vampire?”
“LOVERS! He said they’re LOVERS!” Shouted through the phone.
A blink. Another blink. “Oh… Xander’s gay? Is that why he and Maria aren’t married anymore? I mean, I guess that’s grounds for an annulment, right? Wait a minute… Xander CAN’T be gay! Because… bug lady! Cordelia! Anya!” Stunned pause. “Well, maybe that would do it. But then Maria, and she’s such a nice girl, so… huh? How can Xander be GAY? He’s straight! Always was, always will be! People don’t just change like that!”
Irritated clearing of the throat.
“Uh, except when they do, which is really, really cool. Yeah. A big old YAY to gayness! And it can’t really bother him that much, right? I mean, he did ask you to ‘gay him up’ that time.”
Sudden groan. “Oh, Goddess… what if I… maybe… I didn’t mean to, Buffy! I didn’t, I swear! But… I made Xander gay! With my magic! I must have!”
“Willow… get back to London. I’ll be there tomorrow. We have to talk to Giles. Maybe he can fix it or at least help us figure out what to do. Xander gay all of a sudden… and thinking he’s with Spike? This has ooky bad demon-ness written all over it.”
Another sigh. “Yeah, I think you’re right. OH! Maybe I was the one who made Xander gay, but… if there’s someone with him who he really believes is SPIKE… shape-shifting demon, maybe? Or… oh! Maybe an incubus! They’re all bad and sexy and ‘come here, little boy and sit in my lap’ and I could SO see an incubus pulling off Spike. But not THAT kind of pulling because… Um. Okay. Demon?” Small eeep.
“Good idea, Will. You’re probably right. He always did attract the worst possible… partners. I’ll call Giles and tell him to expect us tomorrow. That way he can get some rooms ready.”
“See you then, Buffy. And thanks. I was going crazy over here.”
A laugh. “You’re one who wanted to be stationed in Guatemala. I tried to tell you… too far away. I wish you and Kennedy had…”
“Well, we didn’t, Buff. It was just too weird after a while. I mean having my girlfriend go out hunting vamps every night? Maybe if I could have gone with her, but with the South American Council of Covens to manage, I just had too much work, y’know?”
“You sure you can get away for this?”
“Yeah… Dawnie’s been coming along really well. She’s ready for her shot at running things. And if anything goes wrong, we’ll be just a phone call away for her. And Buffy… it’s Xander. MY Xander. I have to do everything I can to help him.”
“Well, give Dawn my love before you leave and tell her to call us even if she doesn’t have to. You know, unless she can’t drag herself away from the grimoire and that guy she’s been seeing.”
A snort. “ ‘That guy’. Like he isn’t the most powerful male witch of their generation. They’re a good match, Buffy. If it works out with them, their children could have enough power to do pretty much anything!”
Sigh. “I know, I know… I just wish he weren’t so… Anyway. See you tomorrow, Will.”
“Yeah, Buffy. See you tomorrow.”
“And don’t worry, Will. We’ll figure out what’s wrong with Xander. Then we’ll fix it. Maybe we can even get him to stay in London for a while. Oh! We could have a Scooby Reunion! Get the rest of the gang to fly in… it’ll be great! But first we have to cure Xander of his magic-induced gayness… and figure out what the Spike-thing is. Maybe I can kill it!”
Rolled eyes. “One step at a time, Buffy. Love you. Bye.”
“Love you too, Will… uh, in the non-lesbian way. Bye.”
