Willow and Xander were supporting Buffy as they walked down the hallway.

Buffy raised her head slowly, "She's a witchy!"

Willow sighed, "Buffy…"

She said, "I just got kicked off the team, didn't I?"

Xander smiled, "I don't think it was your fault."

This time Buffy smiled, "Hmm. I know you don't. that's ''cause you're my friend. you're my Xander-shaped friend." She then leaned her head on his shoulder. "Do you have any idea why I love you so, Xander?"

Willow looked determined, "We're going to get her to a…"

Xander shook his head and stopped his best friend, "Let her speak!"

Buffy grinned, "I'll tell you! You're not like other boys at all."

"Well…"

"You are totally, and completely one of the…"

Then she stopped.

She looked at Xander and said, "I can't do it!"

"Cut!"

Joss sighed and walked to the set. "What is it now, Sarah?" Before Sarah could answer, he said, "You might as well leave, Alyson. This is going to take some time. Sarah's in her mood again."

Alyson nodded, "Right." Then she left leaving Sarah and Nicholas alone with Joss.

Sarah stood up and stood next to Nick. "I won't call Xander a girl! There is no way I'm going to say that!"

Nick smiled, "Thank God!"

Joss shook his head, "No. Sarah stick to the script!"

She wrapped her arm around Nick, "There is no way I'm going to call Xander a girl! I do that, and then there's no chance for Buffy and Xander. Buffy's going to keep him at friend's length. I don't want that!"

The director crossed his arms, "Well, tough! You call Xander a girl or else!"

She crossed her arms, "But if I say that, my character is going to hurt his character. I don't want that. I want you to put Buffy and Xander together!"

"Forget it! Xander's not here for a possible boyfriend for you! He's the comic relief. Nothing else! And if you keep this up, I'm going to make Xander less of a character as the seasons run on."

Nick growled, "Standing right here! And leave my character alone, Joss. If Xander can't be with Buffy, at least give him respect."

Joss chuckled, "Never going to happen! Now, listen you two. Buffy and Xander will never be together, and that's final! Buffy is meant for Angel and Spike!"

Sarah looked at Nick getting an idea, she then turned to her director and gave him a set of puppy dog eyes. "Please, Joss. Give Xander and Buffy a chance."

He sighed, "I don't know."

"Please?" She begged.

"I'll think about it. But I'm not ruling Spike out! He's the best character that I'll ever create, and that's for sure!"

Sarah smiled, "Thanks, Joss. You won't regret this!" She then framed Nick's face and brought it down to her, "See, I told you Joss wasn't a bad guy."

Nick smiled, "Yeah, you did."

"Now, kiss me, Nick."

Before he could, Joss announced, "Alyson, come back. We'll start from the beginning of the scene."

With that said, Alyson did come back.

"We have the worse timing, Sarah." Nick said to her.

"Action!"
