I watched as Kelly carried her pitcher around and was filling glasses. I was on my third beer when I could not find my wife. She had disappeared, I fo...nd her outside dancing with a mafia type who was at least 6’4′ and shirtless. He was all over her on the dance floor he was trying to feel her tits and she was teasing him all the way. I watched until the song ended and I was grabbed by Janice and led out to the dance floor and she and I were dancing when she asked which stewardess I was with. I. Noone, that is, except Willow. She and the witch were best friends.Besides, Willow knew what it felt like to be "different." The witch hadalways been something of an outcast, even before she'd discovered that,her teenage crushes on Xander and Oz notwithstanding, she was gay. She'dnever quite fit in with the crowd.

She liked it until one day he told her he wanted to be a female for a man, just to see how it would be.Now that is where I come in, no accident she wanted to go for a drink and follow up with taking me home with her and find out if I were willing. She told me I know you.
