Xander and Cordelia grabbed each other as they began to makeout. Xander detected a distinct whiff of something. “You smell of strawberries; I like that on you. Reminds me of Willow.”

Cordelia pushed herself away from him, “Willow? Oh, no, don’t go there.”

“I’m not saying it’s bad. I think Willow is really into you.”

“Oh god, do people think I’m…I’m…” Cordelia said as she shook her head. “This was a plan, right? By you and your freaky friends to get me into your twisted sex games.”

“No, Cordy, I…”

“We need to get out of here!” she declared as she darted up the stairs.

Xander sighed, none of that went how he would have wanted.

Changes
