Reach out and touch Faith...

"So who the hell was that, B?" asked Faith Lehane, referring to the Vengeance Angel version of Buffy who had just vanished into thin air. "Your evil twin?"

"I don't have time to talk right now, Faith," said Buffy as she hurriedly stripped off the sweater she had borrowed from Willow. "This sweater is hurting me like a son of a gun and I gotta take it off."

"Well, don't give it to me," said Faith. "I don't want it -- Hey, how come I can touch it without any problems? Do you have some kind of suburban girl allergy thing or something?"

"It's called a nudity curse," said Buffy as she frantically covered her naked breasts and her well-toned behind. "Thanks to you and my -- ahem -- other self, it's back on again."

"Again?" asked Faith. "So all those rumors about you running around outside the high school naked were true?"

"Of course, they were true," said Buffy as she decided to stop covering her butt and start covering her privates instead. "Amy Madison was able to get her mother to break the curse some time ago but now it's back on again thanks to your wish and unfortunately, her mother is not around this time to break it again."

"Not around?" asked Faith. "Where did she go?"

"Back to her own time -- and she's not likely to be coming back," said Buffy. "Now stop asking me to play Exposition Girl and try and think of something useful for me to do about this curse."

"Hey, don't blame me," said Faith. "I didn't know my wish was going to come true. And if it means that much to you, then fine. I take it back."

"That's a nice gesture, Faith, but it doesn't help me much," said Buffy. "The person who cursed me was a Vengeance Angel. That's kind of like a Vengeance Demon but worse. Anyway, as long as she's not around to hear you take back your wish, she's not likely to take it back."

"Well, isn't there another Vengeance Angel around here that will take the wish back?" asked Faith.

"Don't be ridiculous, Faith," said Buffy, still trying to desperately maintain the classical ENF position. "The closest thing to a Vengeance Angel around here would be Halfrek and she's still in the libr -- Oh, Faith! I could kiss you."

"Well, you're not really my type, B," said Faith.

"I'm going to kiss you anyway," said Buffy.

And with that, Buffy sprang forward and kissed Faith full on the lips while gripping her in a naked embrace.

"Er, what do you want from me?" said Faith, surprised by the enthusiasm behind Buffy's sudden embrace.

"You're a genius, Faith," said Buffy as soon as she broke off her kiss. "Did you know that?"

Faith replied, "Well, I don't often get called that, but hey, if you think so..."

Buffy broke off the embrace and started running down the hall toward the library, not even bothering to cover herself.

Faith reluctantly decided to follow her.

"Might as well make sure B doesn't get into too much trouble," Faith said to herself, trying to tell herself that her decision had nothing at all to do with the odd feeling she got whenever she looked at a naked Buffy.
