[VampNo12]

Just read the 2 latest updates and they were great! Loved the first part with Tara trying to comfort Willow and when Willow realized she was asleep for 3 hours Tara knew she would be babbling in her head, which she was so correct. I would of loved to seen everyone's faces when Oz arrived! Lastly, I like how the gang keeps wondering why Oz was at Devon's house when they went to ask about Oz's whereabouts. I have a feeling the answer will be very interesting. Looking forward to the next part with W&T's reactions to Oz arrival.

Time Slip



Part 12a



“Hey!” A voice yelled.



The two men that were holding Willow and Tara loosened their grip as all four of them looked to the sound.



Willow felt her mouth drop open in shock.



Oz was standing there. He gave a small smile to her before returning his attention to the large, beefy men.



“Now why don’t you let them go.” Oz said. *Great, threaten them with absolutely nothing to back it up with. Always smart. Why didn’t Buffy send me with weapons or even anything?* Oz thought.



“W-Where did you come from?” One of the men asked Oz. He looked terrified.



“He just appeared!” The other said in hushed tones. He turned to look where the priest had been standing to ask what to do, but the priest was gone.



The two men took that as their cue. They ran for it, leaving the door open behind them.



Oz smiled and thought, *Now that could have gone a lot worse.* He turned to face Willow and Tara and said, “Hi.”



Willow and Tara’s jaws were still agape.



Tara shook it off first and said, “Oz?”



“Yep, that would be me.” Oz replied amiably.



Willow’s mouth was opening and closing as though she was trying to say something, but couldn’t. Finally she said, “What are you doing here? Cuz, you know what I said about not being surprised whenever I saw you, even if I was old and blue haired? Yeah, I was wrong.”



“Sorry for the surprise.” Oz said.



“Oh, no, I didn’t mean it like that.” Willow said quickly. “I’m happy to see you. Especially since you just kinda saved our lives. But, how did you get here?” She asked.



“Buffy came and got me from Devon’s. She told me you guys were in trouble, so I came.” Oz said.



“You were at Devon’s? Why didn’t you tell me you were back in town?” Willow asked, then she remembered what he had said. “Wait, Buffy knew? And I didn’t?” She asked, clearly hurt.



Tara watched the exchange between the two as she felt her heart break. *She still loves him. She doesn’t want to be with me anymore. We’re not together anymore. She’s free to be with him now.* She backed away from Willow, her heart tearing with every step.



Willow noticed Tara was backing away, and before Oz could answer her question, Willow had gone over to the blonde and taken her hands.



“Tara, what is it, baby?” She asked, worried at the pained look on her ex-lover’s face.

I’m not going to have the next part up till tomorrow night or maybe even Monday morning. Sorry, I have to work all day tomorrow, and tonight I’m watching “Bye Bye, Love.” I’ll definitely have it up by Monday morning, though! Have a good rest of the weekend!

"Hey Will, this is me. It doesn't all have to be good and fine. This is the room where you don't have to be brave. I still love you. If you're worried, you can be worried." -Tara to Willow in ep. 603 Afterlife

[VampNo12]

Great new part! I loved the part from NMR where Willow tells Oz she wouldn't be surprised to see him ..."even if I was old and blue haired", and she says "Yeah, I was wrong." Glad Oz came to the rescue, but it was so sad when Tara misunderstood the hurt of Willow as being still in love with him. Hope Willow makes Tara see that she is her true-love, and they reunite. Can't wait for the next update.

[Blue77]

I love the update. If Seth ever wanted to do another guest spot on the show I think this would have been the perfect moment for him to have appeared when Willow and Tara are no longer together.



Obviously, we would have all the pleasure of Willow feeling awkward and Tara feeling jealous but we would be safe in the knowledge that Willow loves Tara and no matter what and she wouldn't betray their relationship. I think this could prove a lot to Tara who tends to feel insecure in Willow's life.



Alas, I'm pretty confident there won't be a guest spot for Seth as he's busy with other things and in reality it would probably only fire up the W/O fans, but it's very cool to read about it in fanfic. So in a nutshell I'm saying I like the triangle idea.



Now back to waiting for another update.

[LeatherQueen]

I liked that. Especially the part where Willow turned to Tara as soon as she backed away. It really showed how much she loves her and is concerned about her feelings. It seems they're getting to be much more in tune with each other, which is always a good thing. Can't wait to read the rest.

Great little exchange between Willow and Oz. Tara still doesn't believe she is the only one for Willow.



*sigh*

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Willow: Hi, um Tara. I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?

[snuggle79]

Cool update! And Tara unhappy..aww...please make her smile again..

Oh baby, want me to rub your tummy? She likes it when I ... stop explaining things.

Once you fall for Willow, you stay fallen.

Part 12b



“W-what?” Tara looked at Willow, then away. “N-nothing. Nothing’s w-wrong.” She said. *Yeah, she’s going to believe that. Not with you stuttering.* Tara thought.



Oz looked away from Willow holding Tara’s hands.



*This is going to be hard.* He thought. He was pushing the wolf back, but he didn’t know what would happen if he lost control.



“Tara?” Willow said, reaching and placing her hand on Tara’s chin gently. She turned Tara’s face to her own and said, “Look at me, baby.” Tara complied and Willow continued, “What’s the matter?”



Tara looked into the green pools hovering a few inches away from her. She sighed inwardly at the beauty of the redhead. “Nothing, I’m okay.” She lied through her teeth.



Willow didn’t believe her, and was about to tell Tara that she could tell her anything, when she realized what she had said to Oz. Her eyes widened and she thought, *She didn’t–she couldn’t have thought that I... not Oz? Oh no, sh thought that I still– with Oz. No! Why am I babbling in my head when I should be reassuring her?* “Tara, no.” Willow said firmly. “Baby, I am not in love with Oz. I’m in love with you.”



Oz flinched, but did not look at Willow. He looked at his hands. They were elongating and growing fur. *NO!* He thought angrily. *Not now!* He tried to calm down, and his hands went back to normal.



“Tara, sweetie. You know that, right?” Willow implored, looking intensely into the blue eyes of her love.



Tara nodded, color returning to her cheeks. “Yeah, it’s just that... I don’t know... I figured since we weren’t together anymore, you were going back to him.”



Willow was stung by the words that Tara had said about them not being together anymore, but shook it off. “No. He’s not here to ask me to give it another try. He knows that I love you. We’re just friends now. Okay?” Willow asked.



Tara nodded again. *Well now I feel stupid! But, wow. She chose me again! And we’re not even together anymore.* She thought.



Oz still wouldn’t look at the two girls, knowing in his heart that Tara was the one for Willow. That didn’t stop him from wishing it was him, though. He looked up right as Willow gave Tara a soft kiss on the lips. He had a sudden sense of deja vu, remembering when he and Cordelia had walked in on Willow and Xander kissing. *No. She’s not cheating on you, now. You left her to begin with. It’s your own fault you lost her.*



Willow and Tara looked over at Oz and Willow asked, “Well, now what do we do?”



Oz frowned. *Lucy didn’t tell me what we were going to do to get back.* “Hmm...”



“What? What hmm?” Willow asked quickly.



“I don’t know.”

Okay, I probably won't have another update until Tuesday... sorry. Hope this will do for now.

Great, great. great!!!!!!!! Thanks for reassuring Tara.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Willow: Hi, um Tara. I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?

[VampNo12]

Another great part! I liked how everyone was dealing with their own issues. Meaning, Tara feeling that she lost Willow to Oz, Willow afraid she made Tara doubt her love for her, and how the wolf in Oz started to make an appearance when he saw the tender love shared between W&T. It was nice how Willow reassured Tara about her love, and loved the line "She chose me again!" Now we have to resolve that cliffhanger about how they will get home. Take your time with the next update I am sure it will be great.

[mollyig]

Glad that Willow reassured Tara.



But how are they going to get back? And where's that Lucy one?

[witchbitchwillow]

heya,



cheers 4 the new chapter. sorry i wasnt up to read it last night i got chucked off the p.c . so neways great new chapter!. loving the whole willow chosing tara again even though there not together well at the moment fingures crossed!



love ellie x x x x

*thats me as a vampire im so evil and skanky and i think im kinda gay*

*no candles? well i brought one its extra flamey!*

[TheWhiz]

I've just caught up with all the updates!! I really like where you have taken this fiction as its an interesting and original idea



Glad to see Oz trying to control the wolf inside, must be as hard for him to see W&T together as it is for T to see W&O together. Good to see him acknowledge that W&T belong with each other, like we all know.



I must try my best to keep up with this fiction now I've caught up, its hard when the only internet access I have is at Uni.

Can't wait till I'm back home at the weekend- internet in my bedroom!

Look foward to next updates!

[ExtraFlameyWT]

**TheRose24--thanks for the feedback! I had to reassure Tara... she's "essential."



**VampNo12--Thanks! I love it when people break down what I write! Thanks for your kind words... I really hope the next one will be great.



**mollyig--I'm glad, too! Don't worry, more will be explained in the next update, which will be here soon, I hope.



**witchbitchwillow--thanks, ellie. I'm sorry you got kicked off before being able to read it. I got it up as fast as i could! I hope to have the next update up tomorrow... but, like I said, it might take until Wednesday. Thanks for the feedback. I swear I'm addicted to feedback!



**TheWhiz--thanks! I tried for something different, I'm glad you like it.



**Lonewolf22--Thank you... I can't wait for the next update, either!



Thanks for the feedback. I've been thinking about my next update, I'm trying to figure out what happened with this fic. I feel like I lost what I had been originally trying to do. So, until I can get it back on track, I won't update. But, don't worry, I feel like I've figured out where to go from here. Just give me a day or two, and then I should have something up for you!



Thanks Again!
