"You're a different human being to everybody you meet." — Chuck Palahniuk

Paige's POV

Our previous plans were halted the second I saw her.

Of course, it took me a moment realize it was her, because she looked so different.

Her normally short fiery red hair now went a little past her shoulders, and the outfit she wore looked like something she used to wear in her sophomore year of high school, which was over twenty years ago.

But when I realized who I was staring at, a let out a huge gasp.

"Willow?"

Giles looked at me. "Willow?" "You mean, Willow Rosenberg?"

"Yes, I mean Willow Rosenberg! How many Willows are in this school?"

Giles sighed impatiently again.

"She's also known as Ms. Rosenberg. She teaches at Sunnydale University."

"Willow's a teacher in this universe?!"

He stared at me. "And you failed to tell me this, why?"

He ignored my question.

"What is she in your universe?"

I smiled proudly. "I forgot."

Giles rolled his eyes.

"Let's go talk to her." I urged, moving Giles forward.

"Ah, yes, She needs to be brought in for questioning."

"Questioning? We're not a police station."

He stared at me again.

So I dragged him over to Willow.

"Let me do the talking." He told me before I could turn around and say anything.

He tapped on Willow's shoulder.

Her face looked exactly the same, yet - different.

Because she wasn't my Willow.

"Hello, I'm Rupert Giles," It felt weird to see him introducing himself to her,"and this is my, uh, niece, Paige. Paige S-Summers."

I gave him a look. "Niece?! That's the best he could do?!"

"She's interviewing locals for a school project about their lives and, would you mind if she asked you a few questions?"

If you ask me, I think he was trying a little too hard.

Willow smiled. It was comforting, her smile; something familiar.

At least it hadn't changed.

"Not at all, Rupert."

"We'll do the interview in the library. It won't take long at all."

Willow laughed. It made me smile.

"Oh, I have plenty of time. If it can give me a break from lessons plans and grading papers, I'll definitely take the opportunity."

When she walked ahead of us a little, I gave Giles a little talk.

"Niece?!," I whisper-shouted, "Really? You're too old to be my Uncle Giles, you're like seventy! "This is my niece, Paige.", I mocked, "What are you, immortal?" I huffed and walked on.

"Seventy!" He whisper-shouted back, "I'll have you know, I'm only in my early sixties!"

"Kudos, Giles, Kudos." I replied flatly as we walked back into the library."

We all sat down again, and I began to question Willow, pad and paper in hand.

"Actually, this interview is only three questions long."

"Name?"

"Willow Danielle Rosenberg."

"Willow Rosenberg."

"Birthday?"

"February 25, 1981."

I wrote her answers down.

"What is your life like?"

"Well, let's see. I grew up here in Sunnydale, and now I'm a computer teacher at Sunnydale University, the local college, I'm Jewish, anddd I like a simple, quiet life style."

She looked around for a second and smiled.

"Don't tell anyone, but I also enjoy practicing magics. B-but don't write that down." She smiled a little and whispered to me.

I grinned.

"I enjoy it too." I whispered back.

"My friend's mom's are witches. They taught me everything I know." I whispered back.

"They sound pretty cool."

"Yeah," I grinned wider and whispered back, "They really are."

"And you're one of them." I thought.

"Ahem." Giles, who I had momentarily forgotten about, cleared his and wore a questioning look.

Willow and I giggled. "S-sorry. Rupert." She apologized.

"We were just having some girl talk, Uncle Giles." I smirked, crossing my arms.

"That wasn't weird at all."

"Oh, and one last question: Are you single?"

Giles swatted me in the arm. "Ow!"

Willow blushed a little, but still smiled. "Y-yeah."

After a moment, Willow smiled and shook her head. "You're a character Paige Summers."

"Yeah," I smiled, "I get that a lot."

After Willow left, I turned to Giles, beaming.

"That went well."

He replied in a sarcastic tone. "Yes, very."
