Giles is first to the library, and he appears grateful at this. He had some peace and quiet to quickly get everything organised, and find the appropriate books before hearing Buffy's bickering and Xander's late night jokes.
He found a decent book in the bookcase, and quickly takes it out and browses through it, then dumps it onto the table where the gang always sit. He goes behind the office desk and gets out some hidden books locked away in a safe. I hope they get here soon...Dragons are not something that should be in this world...or at least in sunnydale. I fear its the hellmouth..

Willow arrived in Sunnydale High, heading straight for he library she was replaying the image of the dragon in her mind. Why on earth is something like that HERE of all places? We get some pretty weird things around here but I've never seen anything like that before She was still thinking about this when she walked into the library, and straight into Giles an the pile of books he was carrying.
"I'm so sorry Giles" She flustered, turning bright red and bending down to pick up the books quickly. "I was so busy thinking I didn't think to look, does that even make sense?"

Xander entered the halls of his school, carrying a bag of snack and goodies. The halls were deserted and dark, the only light filling the place was from the exit sign above the door.
He headed to the library. Giles and Willow were already there. "I was so busy thinking I didn't think to look, does that even make sense?" Willow seemed frantic
"No it dosen't sense, maybe because I have no idea what your talking about." He placed the bag on the table. "Ok lets see what we have here" he rubbed his hands together with delight. He dipped his hand into the bag and bought out every item as he said it. "We got coke, pepsi, mars bars, skittles, snickers, jaffers, corn chips, gatorade and a man kini for some reason." He looked at it and shrugged. "This can be for Angel, unless Giles you want it." Xander laughed. "Ok lets get to work." He opened the first book and starting reading.

Giles looks on shaking his head. "Very funny Xander...but how bout we focus on the task at hand...wait...did you say Jaffas? I love Jaffas!" Giles rushes over and snatches them off the table and starts eating one. "Mmmm...eh thanks Xander..."
Giles shows a look of guilt on his face, then opens up a book. Giles is still chewing when he speaks. "Anyway, lets focus on the task at hand, grab a book each and try and find something...mmm...where did you get these from Xander, they are delicious!."

"From the supermarket" Xander said in a matter of fact voice. He was digusted by Giles edicate when he ate, for an Englishman he wasn't very polite when it came to eating. Xander grabbed a Mars Bar and unwrapped and started eating, getting bits of chocolate flakes all over the books, oops Giles isn't going to be happy about that. He swept it off but they smudged into the page anyway, that's when he noticed what the page was about. In bold, cursive old english writing one word caught his eye, 'DRAGONS'. "Hey I found it!" Xander exclaimed.

Giles looks in interest, "you did? Already?" Giles takes the book from Xander and examines it carefully, with his glasses on. "Interesting...It appears that dragons can be slain...with a magic sword...This could be tricky..."

Buffy wandered into the library, still frowning over their latest mission. She was still wondering if she had dreamt or imagined it... it was that unreal. But no, she could hear the others talking about the dragon, confirming it actually did happen. She then heard Giles say something about a magic sword.
"Where will we get one of those?" Buffy piped up as she sat down at the table. She then noticed snacks were spread out of the table. "Ooh, yummy!" Grabbing the corn chips, she ripped into the packet and started eating like a starved person. She looked at the others in defense. "What? A slayer gets hungry too, you know."

"Ahh!" he slapped Giles' arm to get his attention, "could we get it on Ebay?" Xander joked as he violently ripped off a part of his mars bar. "Ohh, can I have some of that?" he asked Buffy, he didn't wait for an answer and put his hand into the packet of chips Buffy had, he grabbed a handful and put all of it in his mouth, crumbs getting everywhere. "What's so special about this sword anyway Giles?"

"If you can get the money to buy it Xander, go ahead." Buffy raised an eyebrow, amused. However, she was a little worried. Those sort of things weren't easy to find and when they were, they certainly wouldn't be cheap. Then when Xander asked if he could have the chips, she was about to protest but it was too late. Before he could take too many, she pulled the packet to her chest and pouted, acting protective of the food. "Mine."
Buffy then looked to Giles, interested to hear his answer.

Willow was looking through books for references to magical swords, since Xander had amazingly found Dragons in a space of 5 seconds. She showed no interest in the food around her, se vaguley heard Buffy and Xander arguing over food and Buffy ask Giles something but se'd found a page on enchanted swords, "Hey what about this one?" She asked, pushing the book towards the center of the table for everyone to see: ((OOC this was under dragon swords so thought it might work lol)) |

"Ahh!" he slapped Giles' arm to get his attention, "could we get it on Ebay?"
"Xander, please focus on the task, it is crutial we find something out soon." Giles bickered, looking very fatigued.
"What's so special about this sword anyway Giles?"
"This sword has magical properties, allowing it to shield away the fire of a dragon, and slay it. Only someone with supernatural strength could carry this out." He looks at Buffy sternly.
"Hey what about this one?"
"Yes! That is the sword. Well done Willow....but that was the easy part, finding it, now we must draw the magic out of it...with a spell."

"And how do we do that?" Asked Willowsighing a little, "Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be researching rather then going out tonight since I'm the one with the magical know how?" She said, she didn't mind really but it got a little tiersome somethimes, she liked being the all powerful witch but the research sometimes bogged her down.

Buffy forgot about the chips for a moment as Willow announced she'd found something. She leaned in to look at the book and raised an eyebrow at the picture.
"Fascinating... great work, Willow. We knew you'd find it." Buffy patted her friend on the back affectionately. Then what Giles had said sunk in and the look he gave her make her wrinkle her nose. "Supernatural strength as in Slayer strength, huh?" Then Willow spoke again and Buffy turned back to her. Willow's sigh brought on an sympathetic expression on Buffy's face. She knew the gang really relied on Willow and she also knew how it felt, seeing as she had a duty to be a Slayer.

Giles notices Willows withdrawal to his idea, so he cuts in. "Willow...I know its a huge ask, but there is no other way. You have grown so much with your magic in the past year, I have faith in your abilities." Giles gives her a proud smile, then continues with the task. "Its a simple spell to draw the essence out of the sword, unlocking its power. Think of it this way...you are the key to the sword's door.."

"Yeah Will, your the most important thing in stopping this dragon, and you get to do magic. And think if you stuff up, you'll be the reason for the death of this entire town, maybe event the whole of California, or the entire Western Hemisphere. No pressure at all" Xander said as he slid down in his chair to make himself more comfortable. He didn't realise that saying all that may just make her just that more reluctant to do it.
Xander grabbed the book with the picture of the sword. He examined the picture closely. "Hey, I've seen this sword before. In the museum across town." He looked at everyone with a look that said 'I can't believe I said that'. "My mum made me go!" He said as a cover up.
