Another fine mess

For a moment, Faith-in-Kathryn was bemused by her current situation.

Then she had an epiphany.

"Hey, I'm a rich girl now," said Faith-in-Kathryn. "Plus I look like Buffy. Cool!"

And with that, Faith-in-Kathryn dropped the Draconian Katra onto the floor and prepared to stomp on it.

"Oh, no, you don't," said Kathryn-in-Joyce, automatically kicking the talisman out of the way of Faith-in-Kathryn's foot.

Buffy-in-Tara spied the two women going at it and shouted, "Riley! Get that talisman!"

Riley rushed forward, only to get kneed in the groin by Faith-in-Kathryn.

"Nice try, soldier boy," said Faith-in-Kathryn.

Then she turned and saw Kathryn-in-Joyce picking up the talisman and summoning her guardian spirit Sebastian.

"Quick, Sebastian," said Kathryn-in-Joyce. "Let's do this thing."

Sebastian immediately placed his ghostly hand in the same hand Kathryn-in-Joyce was using to hold the talisman. But try as he might, no matter how hard he squeezed, he could not get the talisman to work. Neither could Kathryn-in-Joyce.

"Of course, it's not working, you idiots," said Faith-in-Kathryn. "It's a body swap device. Sebastian is a ghost so he doesn't really have a body so only a moron would expect that thing to work on him."

Kathryn-in-Joyce just smirked. "Okay," she said. "In that case, I'll swap with someone on whom it will work."

Kathryn-in-Joyce immediately walked up to Joyce-in-Faith and said, "Okay. Let's do this thing."

"I beg your pardon," said Joyce-in-Faith.

"You and me," said Kathryn-in-Joyce. "Right now."

"I'm sorry but you're not really my type,"said Joyce-in-Faith. "And even if you were --"

"I don't mean that," said Kathryn-in-Joyce. "I meant let's swap bodies."

"No, thanks," said Joyce-in-Kathryn. "I'm good."

"No, thanks?" asked Kathryn-in-Joyce. "I had the impression that this was your original body."

"Well, I don't want it any more," said Joyce-in-Kathryn. "But thanks for the offer."

"Why, you little --" Kathryn-in-Joyce started to say.

Then Kathryn-in-Joyce said, "Well, we're going to swap anyway."

And with that, Kathryn-in-Joyce lunged forward toward Joyce-in-Faith while a naked Tara-in-Buffy watched in horror on the sidelines. Then Tara-in-Buffy saw Kathryn-in-Joyce's hand get grabbed at the last minute by the hand of Buffy-in-Tara who immediately put her hand on the talisman in an attempt to pry it out of Kathryn-in-Joyce's hand.

And of course, the first thing that happened when she did that was that Kathryn-in-Joyce squeezed her hand.

And activated once more the body swap talisman.
