"Spike, what are you doing?" Willow stopped in the doorway to Giles' kitchen.

Spike looked up from his task guiltily, "Umm, nothing?"

"Nice try." Willow smirked,"Hey, aren't those Giles' favorite cookies?"

Spike stammered, "Uh, no, uh-- damn."

"He'll kill you if he finds out!" Willow hissed, as Giles was currently sitting not very far away.

"What do we do?" Spike asked, looking around.

"We blame it on the cookie monster if he finds out!" Willow smiled.

Spiked looked at her, "Will that actually work?"

"Hey, this is the Hellmouth." Willow shrugged, "By the way, what ARE you doing?"

"Making whipped cream and cookie sandwiches."

"Um, ew?" Willow wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"No, they're good! Try." Spike held one out to her.

Willow shook her head, "No way."

"Come on!"

"No, I don't want to and you can't make me!"

At this point, Giles had taken an interest in the conversation going on between the two as he could only heard their words. He leaned forward to get a better listen.

"It won't kill you, luv."

"It might."

"You'll love it, it's really good."

"Put it away, I don't want to even look at it!"

"It's not like it's as repulsive as a chaos demon, is it? I think it looks pretty damn good!"

"No, and if you get near me with that thing, I'll hit you with this textbook!"

Suddenly a loud crash was heard from inside the kitchen and Giles jumped up and ran in there, expecting to find a fight. Instead, he found the picture of him and Olivia smashed on the floor, and Willow and Spike duking it out with a textbook and his prize camera. There was a collenge student he didn't know singing 'Old Man River' on his table, drunk, and Buffy was in the midst of all this playing with a purple felt elephant. Balloons hung from every available space with the message, 'Happy McChicken Day' printed all over them and some also had 'They took the bait, hook,line & sinker.' There was Xander was asking Riley on a date to the movies and a chaos demon playing chess with the whipped cream container.

Giles was angry with all this of course, but when he saw his favorite cookies all gone, he yelled, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Buffy stepped up and laid her hand on his shoulder, "The cookie monster did it."
