Once we were outside the confines of the library I got a greater scope on just how bad this situation really was. It wasn't just the girls inside Sunnydale High School it was the entire population of females in Sunnydale which was now proving to be quite a task getting him somewhere safe. After dodging a few dozen of them through the cemetery and a

I was securing the last window, trying my best to just be what I was there for, a body guard, when he asked the question I was praying he wouldn't ask. I stood there staring at the window for a moment and finally turned to him, shoving my hands in my pocket a bit uncomfortably. I opened my mouth to say something and nothing came out, my hand ran through my hair and I pointed to a lawn chair before sitting carefully in it.

"Xander listen, what you did wasn't the best of decisions. Messing with magic can be a very dangerous thing and thankfully you're learning that the hard way." I gave him an uneasy look as he sank onto his bed just kind of nodding his head in agreement. "I mean I can see why you did it, love makes you do strange things, you can't exactly plan for things to go the way you want. Especially with Cordelia Chase." The silence that followed me saying that was so thick you could cut it with a spoon if you wanted to, it was seriously awkward.

"I went on one date with her and trust me it wasn't my choice." I finally offered up to him because I knew I had to be a bit of a sore point, the silence solidifying that. "I mean c'mon she chose you... I just kind of bumped into her and got trapped into taking her out. Her picking you says something, she obviously saw something in you, and if she's going to be a... a... a drama queen girl? I think you're better without her and magic to get someone? Definitely not the way to go, just for future reference."

That didn't seem to settle the air much but he did have a bit of a grin on his face. This was more uncomfortable than watching Faith throw herself at the poor guy. I heard the door at the top of the stairs open and a woman's voice yelled something unintelligible down and I just glanced at Xander as the door slammed.

"You shouldn't tell her anything. Let her figure it out, when she does she will realize the mistake she made in letting you go." God I hoped like hell I was saying the right things to this kid, I wasn't exactly pep-squad pep talk guy. I'm a vampire, an elusive vampire up until a couple of months ago, I'm out of practice. If I ever had any real practice. "Trust me... there's someone out there for you and you'll find her." I mean look at me and Faith if that isn't proof positive of that theory. I think.

Instead of just answering, he decided to give me a lecture. Aww, I didn't know dark broody one cared so much. But ... it was helpful, I think. I just sat there and listened to him .... and to the part about them going on a date and it wasn't his choice? Was he blind!? She was the most ... just ... so ...

Beautiful.

A bitch, but beautiful. I think it balanced out. Except for some days when she's just a bitch.

Yeah, I know I'm better off without magic. In fact? Magic? What's that? That's how I'm going at it from now on. No more magic for me because it just leads to time like these. You know, a million girls loving you, yet wanting to rip you to shreds. May seem fun but yeah, not really.

Looking up the stairs when I heard my mother yelling, I just rolled my eyes and sighed, looking down at my hands. Yeah yeah, keep it down, yet, I'm not even loud. I couldn't wait to get out of here, really.

"I won't," I said, finally. Hopefully she would know what she let go, but I don't think that she'd really care. Glancing up at him, I gave him a small look when he said there was someone out there for me. That's ... not Cordelia. I know. I should just give up.

Yep, after this? I think I'll run away and become a circus performer. I think those run in our family anyway.

Okay. When did I wake up and the world became Bizarro World? All of a sudden out of nowhere the entire school was mooning over Xander. At first I thought this was a dream. Not the nice dreams where I'm surrounded by Manolo Blahniks in a hot tub with Brad Pitt but the kind where I'm giving a report in the middle of class and suddenly realize I'm naked or something. Everywhere I went people were drooling over him! Including Harmony and Amber and all of the people that I'd been dreading finding out that I was the one swapping spit in the janitor's closet with Xander Harris.

This wasn't a dream. oh no. This was something way worse. Something evil and probably skanky which meant it had something to do with Faith. My first stop? The crowded library where I managed to sneak a peek at Faith throwing herself at Xander before Angel punched her in the face and knocked her skanky ass out. Good! That's what you get for putting your hands all over my not boyfriend! Skank!

Something was going on and I just couldn't figure out why I was the only one who wasn't crying about how Xander was my soulmate. As if. I didn't do anything for the rest of the day until I realized that the crazy? Had just gotten a whole lot more crazy. When I walked by one of the cheerleaders holding an axe and rallying the girls (even the teachers!) up to go to Xander's house I knew I had to leave. And find Xander and save his stupid ass.

I floored it to his house and didn't even knock, just slammed the door open as Mrs. Harris stared at me in confusion. "Keep the doors locked!" I barked at her as I chained and bolted the door before running down into the basement where Xander and.....Angel were standing.

"What are you doing here? Oh God, don't tell me he's your soulmate now too. Hands off my NOT boyfriend!" I pointed a finger in Angel's direction.

Speak of the devil and she appears. I really should learn to stop jinxing myself because babysitting Xander wasn't bad enough now I had Cordelia to watch on top of it. Immediately I moved towards Xander, fearing the worse. That I was going to have to protect him from another lovesick young girl but seeing the look on Cordelia's face something told me she wasn't effected by the spell like every other girl. Not Boyfriend? This day was just getting worse.

"I don't....what?" I frowned at her curiuosly. Oh! Did she think that I was...ummm....interested er effected by Xander? Giving Xander a look I quickly took a step away from him and looked back at Cordelia. Was this my cue to leave or what? Somehow Cordelia Chase seemed a lot more terrifying than a school full of possessed girls. Did she know that he had done this all for her? I didn't really want to get in the middle of that.

"I'm just making sure that nothing happens to him, Cordelia. What are you doing here?" I hung back and looked back and forth between the two of them again. Okay, this was more than a little awkward.

"Now that you're home safely maybe I should leave." I offered to Xander when I saw the look on his face.

[puffy_xander]

Cordelia was here? In my room? Near my bed. Well, not near my bed, but she was in the same room as my bed so that was pretty near, wasn't it? Oh yes it was and she was ... wait. I was her 'not' boyfriend? HEY! She said I was her boyfriend, only with the not, but if you took the not out then that meant I was. I frowned for a second as Angel explained what he was doing and then made a face when she thought that he had the hots for me or something. NO. I only had the hots for Cordelia, my not girlfriend I guess, but she didn't feel the same way back.

Hence the spell which made all the girls of freakin' Sunnydale hot for me (And thank God my mom wasn't hot for me cause ew ew ew. I think I would have to run away if that happened.) except for the one girl that I'm hot for. Alotta hot.

"You're leaving?!" I asked him. "But, you're the big tough guy that supposed to help me and keep the girls away from me! You can't just leave!" I tried and then looked at Cordelia.

"And what are you doing here?" I asked as I looked at Cordelia. "I thought you hated me, yet you're in my room? See, sometimes, I would think this is a nice thing ... (like I do now!!!) but, under these circumstances, I'm thinkin' you just want to kill me. In that case, Angel, sic 'em," I said with a nod but he just looked at me. "Well, yeah, don't cause that would be bad."

[visiongirl]

"Excuse me?!" I raised an eyebrow in Xander's direction. "Alright well maybe you have a point cause I do hate you and your basement smells like old gym socks but have you noticed the extreme insanity at school? Why is every single girl ripping eachother apart cause they're in love with you?"

I looked over at Angel when he coughed and shifted slightly where he was standing. What the hell was he even doing here? I mean, not that it wasn't nice to see him because it's always nice to see Angel but not under these circumstances.

"You did something stupid, didn't you? And evil! I knew it. Of course you did. Well, guess what Mr. Smarty Pants. You've got about a fifty crazed lovesick girls coming here right now and some of them? Are armed."

I glanced between the two of them again. So Angel was Xander's bodyguard now? Oh no. That wouldn't do at all.

"What did you do?" I asked him even though we didn't really have time to get into it considering we were all gonna be in alot of trouble if we didn't get out of here soon.

[broody_manpire]

He wanted me to...sic her? I raised an eyebrow in his direction and glanced back at Cordelia. I'd fought humans and demons alike for over a century but none of them struck terror into my heart quite like dealing with Cordelia Chase did. And wait. Did she just say that all of the girls were coming here? And some of them were armed.

"Alright. We've got to get you out of here." I said to Xander, momentarily ignoring Cordelia. Strange how she seemed to be the only girl within a ten mile radius besides Xander's mother who wasn't effected by the spell. "Do you have a car?" I asked Cordelia and she nodded at me but before I could take any further action there was a loud bang on the door and the three of us all turned to look at it.

"Okay. New plan. Cordelia, take Xander and get him someplace safe. I'll try to throw them off your tracks."

Walking over to the edge of the basement. I opened one of the windows and looked through it. Just big enough to get the two of them through it, of course the princess might have a hard time because she was guaranteed to get a little dirty. Attacked by psychotic high school girls or a little dust? Not exactly a tough choice...for someone like me.

"Go." I said to the both of them.
