THE HISTORY LESSON
Chapter One - 2001 AD
Xander was back in his parents' basement again. He didn't relish being there, but Willow had told him it was either that or his apartment, and he couldn't risk Anya walking in on them and discovering what they were up to.
Willow, sat there facing him. She took some vials from her bag.
"Do we both really have to be naked for this?" asked Xander.
Willow smiled. "Don't say a word, you could break the spell."
She then proceeded to cast the contents of the vials onto the septagram that she'd chalked on the floor between them. As the contents of the vials mixed together and bright orange smoke filled the air, she opened her mouth to start the incantation, and then, against her will, burst into song. That had been happening a lot that day.
