Chapter 20 by ThomasMoro ThomasMoro

Does Buffy's plan work?

Yes

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning and a sound like thunder.

Anya felt herself change. No longer was she a demon. She was now -- gasp! -- a mortal.

"Okay," she said. "I give up. Here, Buffy. Take my sweater."

Buffy felt so giddy when she put on Anya's sweater and felt no pain that she found herself dancing across the room. The curse was over! She could actually wear clothes again.

She raced out of the library and down the hall to tell Willow, not even minding for once how much of her body was visible.

Later that day, Anya was nursing her sorrows with a French vanilla latte at a local coffee shop when she heard a familiar voice. "Anyanka, what are you doing here?"

Anya looked up and saw her old friend Halfrek gazing down at her.

"Hallie," she said, "what are you doing here?"

"Interviewing for a job with the Sunnydale School District," said Halfrek as she sat down at the same table as Anya. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was on an undercover assignment at the local high school but I screwed up and allowed one of the students to uncover my true identity," said Anya. "Apparently this girl named Buffy Summers was a victim of one of my nudity curses and she was so **** to end the curse that she destroyed my special necklace and made me mortal. Geez, I wish there was some way I could get back at her."

At this point, Halfrek laughed.

"What's so funny, Hallie?" asked Anya.

"You are," said Halfrek.

"Why do you say that?" asked Anya. "I thought you were my friend."

"I am your friend," said Halfrek. "That's why I think it's so funny that you -- of all people -- are content to just sit around and gripe about this Buffy Summers when you could be doing something about it."

"But what could I possibly do about it?" asked Anya. "I'm a human now."

"And you're sitting across from a justice demon," said Halfrek.

"You mean?"

"Of course, I do," said Halfrek. "You're my friend. Besides, any offense against one justice demon is an offense against all justice demons."

"But won't D'Hoffryn object?"

"Are you kidding?" said Halfrek. "He'd probably punish me if I didn't help you. Anyway, you know what you need to do."

"Of course, I do," said Anya.

She closed her eyes and said, "I wish Buffy Summers would go naked for the rest of her days."

"Wish granted," said Halfrek.

The end?
