"It can't go on like this," Buffy had said. "The First can keep the bringers coming until all of us are gone. But I have an idea."
"What?" Giles had asked.
"This one girl in all the world thing has to end," Buffy said. "You, Willow and Dawn get down to the research and find me a way to turn the potentials into Slayers right now, right here and with all of us still alive."
Willow and Giles had looked at each other. Willow was sure that they were both thinking the same thing, that what Buffy was suggesting was outrageous, crazy, mad. And maybe, just maybe, it was crazy and mad enough to work.
"We'll give it a shot," Giles said, polishing his glasses.

"We think we found a way," Willow said the day after, in an odd tone of voice. She, Giles and Dawn had spent the whole night poring through old tomes, looking for spells that had anything to do with the Slayer. They'd dug through the books from the old leather bag that Principal Wood had got from his mother, looking for hints to the source of the Slayer's power. And finally, in the small hours of the morning, they'd found something.
"Great," Buffy said. "What do we need? When can we do it?"
"It's quite simple," Dawn said. "In theory."
"I sense a 'but' coming," Buffy said.
"The first part is fairly easy," Giles said. "We do a short ritual over you, we invoke a certain spirit and we turn you into a sort of catalyst."
"And?"
Giles took off his glasses and started polishing them. It looked like he was blushing.
"And then you can turn a potential into a Slayer," he said.
"Well, great," Buffy said. "Exactly how do I do that?"
"You share your spirit and your body with them," Dawn said. "Which, as far as we can tell, means that you have sex with them."
"I do what with them?"
"Have sex," Giles said. He still hadn't put his glasses back on. "I'm afraid that the text is quite clear on that point."
"What, all of them?" Buffy said.
"All the ones you want to turn into Slayers," Dawn said. "And one at a time, not all of them at the same time."
Buffy felt her face turning hot, and her hands started shaking.
"But I don't know how," she said. "I've never done... that... with a girl before. I'm not even sure I want to."
"You said it's our only chance," Dawn said.
"You can start with Kennedy," Willow said, her voice faint. "She's a pretty good teacher."
