3rd Person's POV
Xander looks down at Buffy's empty raincoat lying on the floor, then back up at Amy. Giles comes back into the library with Jenny.
"What, what just happened?"
Xander indicates the raincoat, "Buffy."
Jenny smiles broadly when she sees Xander and tries to go to him, but Giles holds her back.
"Where is she?"
They both look down at the raincoat. They watch the sleeve move a bit as Buffy has been turned into a rat, and she comes crawling out.
"Oh, my God!"
Amy steps over to Xander and gestures to Jenny, "Why is she here?"
Xander groans in frustration, "Can you focus for a minute? You just turned Buffy into a rat."
Buffy starts to scamper across the floor. Giles follows her with his gaze.
Amy looks to Xander and takes his arm, "Buffy can take care of herself. Why don't we go someplace private?"
Jenny puts her hands on her hips and gives Amy a haughty look. Giles looks around for where Buffy went.
Xander jerks his arm away, "Can you... I'm not going anywhere until you change her back."
Jenny steps over to Amy, "You heard him. So why don't you undo your little magic trick and get lost?"
"Who made you Queen of the World? Well, you're old enough to be."
Jenny chuckles unimpressed as she grabs Xander the shirt, " Well, what can I say? I guess Xander's just too much man for the pimple squad."
Amy puts her arm between them and pushes Xander away from Jenny. She waves her hands before her and begins to cast another spell. Her eyes turn pitch-black, and energy begins to swirl around her as she speaks.
"Goddess Hecate, to you I pray, with this..."
Xander quickly puts his hand over Amy's mouth, "Would you quit with the Hecate?!"
...
In the halls nearby, Cordelia is at her locker and closes it. She starts down the hall, but runs into Harmony and friends waiting to confront her.
Cordelia sighs annoyed and completely over it, "Okay, what now? You don't like my locker combination?"
Harmony puts her hands on her hips, "It's just not right. You never loved him. You just used him. You make me sick."
Cordelia chuckles sarcastically, "Okay, Harmony, if you need to borrow my Midol, just ask."
Harmony slaps Cordelia across the face. Cordelia holds her hand to her face and looks at Harmony in surprise. She turns to go the other way, but Cordette blocks her way and pushes her up against the lockers. Then she and another girl pull her away from the wall and shove her down to the floor.
