"It's La Niņa."

Buffy shook her head. "Willow, I thought it was El Niņo, not La Niņa. What's the difference?"

"Well...La Niņa is basically the same except where El Niņo makes it really cold around here, La Niņa makes it warm."

"So no wonder I'm wearing this in the middle of October," Buffy said, gesturing to the swimsuit she wore as she and the others were lounging around the roof of their dorm.

Willow grinned, and grabbed the barbecue chips. "Yeah. This is kind of nice."

Buffy grabbed one of the Caramilk bars, then shook her head in disgust. "Great. It's melted." Shaking her head some more, she threw the candy bar down and watched it land on her map of UC Sunnydale. "I hope I can get another one..."

"What time is it?" a masculine voice asked, and Buffy looked up to see Riley Finn standing nearby. She got the sudden urge to cover herself up, something she never really did before.

"It's uh...uh...time for psych class!" Willow said, standing up quickly and pulling her shorts on over her swimsuit.

"Good guess, Willow, but you still have 15 minutes." Riley smiled at her, and Buffy rolled her eyes. Trust fate to have one of the good looking guys who actually thought she was...normal...to fall for her best friend.

"Well, we still have to get dressed, then, don't we?" Buffy said, standing up and grabbing the black pens she had nearby her books. Sighing, she stretched, reaching over to grab her jeans and button down shirt.

Aphrodite shook her head. "Zeus," she muttered, "there's no way in Tartarus she's going to fall in love with that...thing. She's got a crush on that human boy there."

Shaking her head some more, she shifted her conversation to telepathy, as to not get any more stares from the campus men. Or glares from the women.

{Zeus...dammit. It's impossible!}

The voice boomed within her head. {Aphrodite! You're a goddess. Nothing is impossible.}

{But why them?}

{They are the most improbable couple in the known world. A vampire and a Slayer...it happened to her once. You'll have to make it happen again.}

{But I have no magic!}

{Stop the 'buts', Aphrodite. You *will* make them fall in love...or at least lust...and you *will* do it without your powers. Do it and you can become a full Goddess again.}

She pouted, shaking her head. {Fine, you jerk.}

{Aphrodite...} the voice said warningly. {Go. To a Professor Walsh's psychology class. Wait outside until it's over. And please...refrain from toying with the young men?}

"That's how I got into this mess in the first place," she muttered, picking up her bag and walking towards the class.
