Present Day

Xander shook his head as grabbed the piece of paper with the commands he meant to speak.

1: Faith follows the lead of Buffy, Giles, and Xander.

2: Giles doesn't worry about books being late.

3: Xander Harris gives up Twinkies.

"Yeah, I don't think it worked," Xander said. "Still craving a Twinky."

"And I'm aghast of the idea of someone returning a library book late," Giles replied.

"Wait why are you..." Xander began.

"Something wrong?" Giles asked.

"No, just for a moment I thought someone else was the one who cast the spell."

"Like who?"

For a moment he thought about Willow, but that was crazy, "I don't know."

"Want, Take, Have," Buffy said as she grabbed the knife. "I think I'm getting it."

"Speaking of that..." Faith said, "I want Xander and I'm taking Xander."

"Uhm, what?" Buffy asked completely thrown off guard. She was not made any more comfortable by how Faith was holding the crossbow.

"Xander is mine," Faith stated. "I get the spell. I'm not going to do anything about that or your fake relationship. It's not like the two of your need to bone anymore. But when you aren't at school, he's mine."

"I mean he kind of get's a say in..." Buffy began, but stopped given the look Faith shot her.

"Mine," Faith growled angrily.

"Stop, freeze, police!"

Buffy actually breathed a sigh of relief.
