I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Hey

SchoolUser004 says:
You shouldn't be emailing me.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Why not?

SchoolUser004 says:
I'm in computer class

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
So? I'm in the library

SchoolUser004 says:
I'll see you at lunch Oz

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I'm not leaving that easily

SchoolUser004 says:
Oz, I could get in trouble

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I'm talking to Buffy right now too

*Willow looked over the table and computers at Buffy, who was typing quickly.*

SchoolUser004 says:
No you're not

* "Willow, will you make Oz stop messaging me?" Xander whispered to Willow, quietly so Mrs. Calendar wouldn't hear.
"Yeah, make him stop with me too," agreed Buffy.*

SchoolUser004 says:
They want you to stop talking to them. Both Xander and Buffy.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I'll stop bugging them if you let me talk to you

SchoolUser004 says:
Fine

* "Thank you," Xander and Buffy said in unison. Jenny gave them both a 'look'.*

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
What are you doing in class?

SchoolUser004 says:
We were supposed to be practicing how to properly search through search engines while avoiding all the unneeded sites.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
huh?

SchoolUser004 says:
We pick a topic, I'm doing Lycanthropy, and go through various search engines looking for information. We are supposed to filter out unwanted sites through the site descriptions, and have a bunch of good information after only visiting a few websites

I Mock you With My Monkey Pants says:
Well that's kind of cool. Find anything useful yet?

SchoolUser004 says:
Yes actually, I have. Lycanthropy comes from the Greek words "lykoi", which is wolf and "anthropos" which means man

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Wolfman

SchoolUser004 says:
Exactly. Also, you probably already know, silver doesn't kill you, but can burn you and drive you away. So stay away form silver crosses and bullets. Or even jewelry for that matter. And, when you're on wolf form, don't eat salt!

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Okay I won't.

SchoolUser004 says:
It's deadly.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I figured it was.

SchoolUser004 says:
Though primarily a true wolf while in wolf form, there is some proof that the werewolf retains enough knowledge to assist his killing; recognition of victims, evasion of traps, and human cunning have all been seen on werewolf cases.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Better show that to Giles

SchoolUser004 says:
Yes, I should be saving all of this. Hold on, Ms. Calendar is coming.

*Willow minimized the chat screen, and pretended to be reading the computer screen. She could see Ms. Calendar hovering behind her in the screen's refection.

"Yes?" Willow turned around in her chair, hand on the mouse, poised.
"I noticed you were searching on werewolves," Ms. Calendar pointed to the large picture of a werewolf in the middle of the screen, "It is a very intriguing concept."
Willow nodded, and scrolled down the screen a little bit.
"What's that?" Ms. Calendar sounded challenging when she pointed to the little flashing bar on the start task bar, "It's says you have a new message."

Willow swallowed, "Um, it must be a pop-up screen or something. Don't worry about it," Willow hit the search link on the webpage, opening up a new search engine.
"I'm just going to continue with the assignment. I've gone through two search engines already, and have um, found out a lot of--"
"Are you sure it's just a pop-up message? It looks like you were involved in a chat," Ms. Calendar squatted down beside Willow, "Which you know is against the rules Ms. Rosenberg."
"I know it's against the rules, it's just an ad," Willow swallowed, heart pounding. She could get detention for this.
"Look, you have two new messages," Jenny took the mouse from Willow and clicked the flashing bar.*

Up came the following messages, so low underneath the other messages that you couldn't see Oz and Willow's previous conversation:

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Do you have a special deal for you! For one day only, 40% off all men's slacks and an additional 10 percent if you can name our special bonus surprise question!

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Tomato; fruit or vegetable?
So come on down to Big Red's Emporium and answer our challenging challenge to get 50 percent off all your slacks and pants needs!

* "Oh, I guess it was an advertisement," Ms. Calendar shrugged and stood up, "I'm sorry Willow."
"That's okay," Willow shrugged, minimizing the chat screen once more.
"No, I shouldn't have doubted-- Alexander Harris, give me that chocolate right now!"
Ms. Calendar left to go scold Xander, and Willow laughed in stressed relief.*

SchoolUser004 says:
Thank you soooo much!

I Mock you With My Monkey Pants says:
No problem Will.

SchoolUser004 says:
Look at this, I just found this:
Like wizards, werewolves are also vulnerable to cold iron. A single blow from an iron rod to a werewolf's forehead is reputed to split the werewolf apart, allowing the man within to be freed.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Whoa, think that's true?

SchoolUser004 says:
I really don't want to strike you in the forehead with cold iron to find out.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Totally not worth it

SchoolUser004 says:
Oz, it says here that werewolves have been around sine 75,000 BC! I wonder if that's longer than vampires?

* "Why don't you take on another assignment and find out? It's obvious this single one isn't keeping your attention!"
Willow gasped and turned around once more, and looked up into Jenny's angry eyes with fright.*

I Mock you With My Monkey Pants says:
Willow, you there?

* "Get up," hissed Ms. Calendar. Willow stood up quickly, shooting Buffy and Xander worried glances, then watched as Ms. Calendar sat down and began typing.

SchoolUser004 says:
You do realize you are disturbing my computer class, don't you?

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I know that, but you already know so much about computers, you can stand to chat with me for a bit.

*Oz started to get a bad feeling about this, and called Giles over.*

SchoolUser004 says:
I don't appreciate it when someone interrupts me while I'm trying to learn. Only someone inconsiderate of my feelings would try to jeopardize my education.

*Willow shook her head. Oz would get mad at her if he thought she thought that.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Is this Ms. Calendar?

*"Who is this?" Ms. Calendar turned to Willow, who was blushing.
"Oz," she said.
"And, Oz is?"
"My boyfriend," Willow willed herself not to turn redder.*

SchoolUser004 says:
Oz, I would like to see you in my classroom right now.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
This isn't Oz.

* Oh no, thought Willow. Why did he have to lie??*

SchoolUser004 says:
I know it is. Willow just told me it's you.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
I assure you it isn't Oz. This is Rupert Giles.

SchoolUser004 says:
Rupert would never go near a computer.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Jenny, it's me!

* "She won't believe me!"
"Maybe it's due to the fact you are lying," suggested Giles.
"You'll back me up, right?" Oz turned to the watcher, desperate.
Giles stared back at the young werewolf. He had developed an actual friendship with the boy since the hairy discovery of  Lycanthropy.
"Yes I will back you up," Giles sighed, "Don't type anything, I'll call her." *

"Hello?"
"Ms. Calendar please," Giles stared at Oz, who was leaning back in his chair, watching Giles.

"Hello?" the computer teacher was confused. Willow said it was Oz, Oz said it was Giles, and now no one was talking.

"Jenny it's me. I mean, it's me. Oz and I are both chatting with Willow, she said she was doing research on werewolves, and we wanted to know what she came up with," Giles said slowly, talking as the ideas came to him.
Oz gave him a thumbs up sign.
"Yes, I'll prove it. I'll right something right now," Giles snapped at Oz and pointed to the computer.
Oz sat the chair up right and leaned over the keyboard.
"Okay, alright. Why, you are an immature one aren't you?" Giles rolled his eyes and whispered to Oz.
Oz chuckled, and typed it.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Computers smell better than books

SchoolUser004 says:
Hello Rupert.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Good Day Jenny.

* "Okay, Oz and I will stop disturbing your class now then," Giles said good bye to Jenny, and hung up. Oz signed off.*

******* The Next Day *******

Willow bent over her computer, researching different blood types and how they affect vampires. So far, they didn't.
Ms. Calendar had assigned her another project even though she thought it was Giles behind the computer, and not just Oz.

It didn't matter though, the subject was fairly interesting.

Ms. Calendar had said though, if she caught Willow chatting with anyone online, even if it was just Mr. Giles, she would receive detention for a week.

Willow had forgotten to tell that to Oz.

I Mock You With My Monkey Pants says:
Hey

Willow groaned, which accidentally caught Ms. Calendar's attention.

"Willow..."
