[Egnalos]

Ok Nikko is Anya's sister? I didn't see that one coming. I guess I missed that little piece of information somewhere.



Tara can't be dead, there wouldn't be anymore story if she was already dead right?... right?



Glory is a complete pain in the ass; first in FFX and now here, she's causing trouble everywhere! I want to see Willow making Glory pay, and the others too. It'll be a nice touch.



More please!

[ceridwenfaylinn]

Wow, this chapter was really exciting!!!!!



So Nikko is Kairi huh? I definitely didn't see that one coming



I wonder what's gonna happen on Earth and why Hallie stayed behind



And Willow really loves Tara that's really good, i want to see how she'll make Glory pay and im also wondering where Tara is



Well, i know you're gonna answer all those questions and clear things up really soon, so i will just be waiting patiently



As always, great update



And Happy Birthday sweetie!!

[Stormforce]

Viximon - Yeah, everyone is still in shock from seeing Ryu-oh exploding with Tara on it, that no one really stopped to think. And you're right, things are not as they seem. Here's the update.



Egnalos - Yep, Nikko is Anya's sister, and I won't say anything about Tara...it would just ruin the next chapter. Don't worry, Glory will be getting what's coming to her, it'll just take another chapter to do it though.



Ceridwenfaylinn - Hallie stayed behind to help, and her help will be mostly revealed in the next two chapters, as for where Tara is, can't say, but you'll find out Oh, and thanks for the 'Happy Birthday'.

Chapter Fifteen: On the Souja



The debris lazily floated through space, everything was quite now, not like it was when Glory had been attacking Miss Kitty. Willow was sitting on the Juraian tree Ryu-oh, sobbing quietly, as she held on to the bloody towel with her head and arms resting on her knees. Tara was gone, and it was her fault. If she had not been captured by Glory; Tara would not have come after her, and she'd still be alive.



The only thing she had of Tara now, were her memories, and the bloody towel, but she didn't want just those things. No, she wanted Tara. She wanted Tara to be alive, and not dead by Glory's hand. Why did Tara come after her? Did she really care for the demon that much to try and save her? Goddess, if she did, then Willow had just lost the only person who'd ever cared for her.



The hum of an engine caught her attention, raising her head she saw Miss Kitty float by and stood, and floated toward her ship, and inside. There would be time to mourn for Tara later, right now she had a job to do. Now, it was time to get revenge on Glory for killing Tara.



Faith had her arms wrapped around Buffy, who had fell to her knees on the floor beside Xander and Anya, and saw Willow appear. "You escaped." Buffy spoke and watched Willow step up to the control balls.



"You!" Anya stood wiping her tear-stained face, "Too late now. Why didn't you escape eariler? Tara was trying to save you!" The princess shouted.



"Please, let's try and save my sister!" Xander said standing.



"We have to go now. We have to challenge Glory." Willow spoke in a dead voice not looking at anyone.



"No! It's more important to look for Tara!" Anya stepped forward grabbing Willow's shoulder, "You should know that! You say you love her, so let's look for her!"



Willow raised her arm knocking Anya away from her, and threw her the bloody towel; Anya stared at the towel in disbelief as Willow reached up, and pulled off the self made gem she was wearing as an earring. The gem glowed and appeared on her right wrist, as she stared ahead.



"She can't be..." Xander sobbed when he saw the towel.



"No..." Anya whispered gripping the towel, and could feel her energy rising from her anger.



"It's not over yet." Willow spoke as her red and black body suit appeared, "I will kill Glory for what she did." she growled. "I will kill her! Even if it kills me." she smirked glancing at Anya.



"Look." Faith pointed toward the Souja as it neared.



Willow cut her eyes toward the ship, "Let's go!" she ordered, and Miss Kitty shot forward pushing through the shield. Miss Kitty let out a long drawn out 'Meow' as the shield around the Souja crackled with energy, as she broke through.



Back on Earth...



Hallie was running down the path leading to the Jurian tree Funaho with the tears bluring her vision, "Tara! Don't die, please don't die!" the little princess didn't see the rock in the path, and tripped. She had felt it when the control dome to Ryu-oh had been totally destroyed, and she had also known Tara had been on board. Now, if only she could get her thoughts together, she could possibly help.



As she stood, she found herself in front of Funaho, and wiped her eyes, "By the royal seal and my true name. Please open the path to our ancestors the spacetrees. From the heaven to the ocean. Ocean to the Earth. And the Earth back to heaven. Show me the path engraved by the light." Once her chant was completed the tree lit up, and Hallie disappeared inside.



In space...



Willow, Anya, Buffy, and Faith stood in the hole Miss Kitty had created in the Souja, and stayed on guard. Anya had changed into her Jurian battle gear, a white suit with a reddish brown vest armor, and light blue belt. And her face now had three marks across her cheeks, she had asked Xander to stay behind in the she ship, so he wouldn't get hurt. He agreed only because he wanted to pull up the debris on the screen, hoping to find his sister.



"Where to?" Anya asked looking at Willow.



"All the passages will lead to her." Willow replied staring straight ahead.



"Then let's go." Faith said and ran down the last path to the right, with Willow taking the center, and Anya the left.



Buffy was holding a energy cannon -but to anyone on Earth it would be a rocket launcher, "Hey, please wait!"



Two large evil looking faces appeared in front of Willow as she flew down the passage, and began firing red lasers out of their mouths. Willow lowered to the floor, and spun her body, as two glowing spheres of energy appeared in her hands. Straightening up, Willow brought her hands together raising them over her head, and then out in front of her, shooting a long wide blast of energy -destroying both faces.



With her battle gear on, Anya was able to use the anti-gravity shield and like Willow, fly, as she thrust her fist in front of her body, to speed up. The two faces that had appeared and began attacking the princess broke apart as she sped past them, and cracked the passage she was in, also.



Faith was using her energy pistol to fire at anything, and everything in her passage, namely the the evil looking faces that had began attacking her. With one lucky shot at the first one, she found out that hitting one of the orange glowing eyes would cause them to explode. Halfway down the tunnel you could hear her laughing as she fired more energy rounds.



While the three of them were making good time; Buffy was still only a quarter down her passage, "Please don't come near me!" she said as she fired the cannon destroying two faces, and saw two more appear. She jumped to the side as the second pair began firing, "Stay back!" she shouted and fired again.



In the throne room of the Souja, Glory stood from her seat with a smile, and approached the organ to her right. Sitting on the bench, she began playing not caring that the girls were getting closer to her.



Unknown to anyone on the Souja, or Xander, who was still looking through the dibris, that Adam and Oz had disappeared from the control dome when it had exploded. Now, both guardians were floating in space with a round shield between them, and Tara safely encased inside with her sword floating above her. The sword hilt turned, and began flashing a blue light where the blade would have been, seven petal like wings opened behind the guardians as a woman appeared on standing on top of Oz.



The woman had brown hair, and eyes, and was wearing a blue dress, with a short white robe, and floated around to face Tara. She passed through the shield, and smiled as she cupped Tara's face, and pressed their foreheads together. The woman raised up, just long enough to turn, and lay down -disappearing as her body met with Tara's. In a flash of pale blue light, Adam, Oz, and Tara disappeared.



Back on the Souja a brick wall exploded outward, and Willow stepped out of the rising dust, the demon girl frowned as she glanced around, "There must be an entrance somewhere around here." she whispered, and stepped back as the wall in front of her seperated.



"Well, I would say that's an invatation, wouldn't you?" Anya asked as she stepped through the hole.



Willow smirked, "Yes I would, so, let's not be rude." she said and began walking forward with Anya right behind her.



A pair of black curtains parted as the girls continued, and passed through a pair of blue curtains. "Yo, wait up." Faith called as she and Buffy appeared from the hole in the wall.



"Hey, don't leave us behind!" Buffy shouted as she jumped forward, and lost her balance, crashing into the wall where her control cube fell to the floor. Neither her, nor Faith noticed the small ripple as the cube hit the floor, and caused both girls to disappear, and reappear under the floor.



"Where'd they go?" Faith asked and glanced through the hole.



"Hey wait!" Buffy said when she saw the curtains closing, and ran forward, "Come on, Faith!" she ran back to pick up the cube, and hurried through the curtains with Faith behind her.



Anya glanced around the large room and saw Willow nod as she walked ahead. If anyone would have been standing off to either side of the walkway, they would have seen Willow and Anya on top of the path, and Buffy and Faith walking under it, seemingly up-side down. Glory stood from the organ as Willow and Anya stepped near the throne.



Anya had her head lowered, her eyes shrouded in shadow, and could see Willow clenching her fist as Glory turned and approached them. Anya could tell that if Willow didn't have the full bodysuit on, her nails would have been digging into the palm of her hand. It was then she knew how Willow truely felt for Tara, and knew she would work with the demon to get revenge.



Glory gave the girls an evil smile as she held her right arm out in a sweeping motion, "Welcome to my Great Cathedral, ladies." she bowed crossing her arm over her chest.



"Damn you!" Willow shouted, and was surprised when Anya shot forward letting out a battle cry.



"Scumbag!" Anya growled as she hit Glory, and was stopped by the pirate's shield.



"Well now, that was a power shot, Princess. But, you see, this chapel has a force field that reflect all energy that attacks it. So, here is a lesson for you." Glory spoke, and poured more energy into the shield, throwing the princess back. The pirate stepped forward and was hit in the chest with an energy blast stopping her.



Willow appeared behind Glory and shoved her energy blade through Glory's neck, and went wide eyed as Glory disappeared, "Her shadow?" she said, and was suddenly grabbed by her throat.



Glory narrowed her eyes as she raised Willow off the floor, "Seems like 700 years have been too long for you." Glory said as she squeezed harder, causing Willow to bare her teeth, "If you can't tell reality from imagination... You still have a long way to go."



Willow felt a burning pain in her right hand, and looked down to see it was turning to stone, "Don't...Glory, my arm." she forced out between her teeth. Willow screamed in pain as her body turned to stone, and Glory laughed as she dropped Willow to the floor.



"Just rest for a while." The pirate turned and motioned toward Anya's unconscious body, raising it into the air, as she approached. Glory took off her white glove, and covered Anya's face with an invisible hand. "Now, let's take a look, at the Tsunami unit's secret, shall we?.



Under the floor Buffy and Faith had split up when they'd found a small offshoot to the right; Buffy had gone forward as Faith ran down the small hall. The blonde officer climbed a small set of stairs set between two giant cobra statues, and didn't see the green writing on the floor glow for a moment.



"I hate this place, it's really, really weird. I wish Faith were here, and where did Anya and Willow go?" Buffy asked glancing around the place she'd stepped into. There was nothing much to see besides the statues, but one other thing. There was an up-side down triangle near the back of the room, with a young brown haired girl encased in glass.



Buffy lowered her head, "I wonder if they're fighting Glory?" she asked herself not noticing the snake statues moving behind her. "Are Faith, and myself the only ones left? I guess that's all right, we'll go after Glory, and make good all of my friends unfulfiled wishes." she said and turned screamed when she saw the cobras.



Buffy screamed again as she back flipped when one of the snakes lunged forward, crashing into the floor where she'd just been standing. She screamed once more as the second snake shot forwar, "Stay away!" she shouted as she completed a roundhouse kick, and knocked the second cobra back, and into the first one.



Tears came to her eyes as she began firing ice shards from a glove on her hand, "You have the right to remaim silent. Snakes, I hate snakes!" the officer said frightened, just knowing she was going to be eaten, "Whatever you say may be used against you in a court of law." she continued speaking, never noticing that the cobra's were freezing, "You have the right to request an attorney, I guess it'll have to be an attorney that handles snake cases. And then...and then." Buffy stopped as she saw both cobra's completely frozed. "That's all." she sighed.



Buffy the brave Galaxy Police officer calmed her breathing as she closed her eyes, and lowered her hand, giving a sigh in relief. If she would have turned around, she would have seen a golden eagle medal with three green gems, and two snakes wrapped around it, glow. The cobras' eyes glowed red, as the ice cracked.



"Hey!" Buffy looked up, "The charges against you will be really bad if you try to run away." she said in a small voice as tears poured down her cheeks, as the ice kept cracking, "I'm really serious. Really I am." Her voice kept getting lower pitched as more tears rolled down her cheeks, "It isn't working!" she shouted and grabbed her control cube.



"I need a more powerful rifle!" Buffy turned a section of the cube, "This thing isn't working! I shoulda paid more attention when they explained how to use these!" she cried out, and didn't notice the glass behind her cracking, "Shit! Where did I put it?" she whined as the ice fell away from one of the cobras, and the snakes on the golden medal cracked.



"No...why me!" Buffy asked and looked up to see the cobras breaking through the ice, and lunged toward her. The girl in the glass triangle snapped her eyes open, as the snake around the medal broke. Buffy closed her eyes, as the cobra's shadow loomed over her, and waited to be hit, or eaten, or something. When the officer looked up she blinked, and blinked again, and blinked once more, as her eyes went wide, and her mouth fell open. The cobra had turned back to stone just as it was about to swallow her.



"Don't worry, It's dead..." A brown haired girl said walking by, "You're safe now. And thanks for help me, you know, settin' me free and all. How didn't you get lost and end up here, anyway?"



"No shit! Who are you?" Buffy asked peeking around the statue, and saw the girl hit both cobras, breaking them apart.



"Now, here's someone else." The girl said raising her hands as Willow's stone body rose through the floor. "This is a poor little helpless one." the girl snapped her fingers, turning Willow back into herself, as she looked at the officer, "Don't you think so, Buffy?"



The girl went to examining Willow's body, before Buffy had a chance to speak, "Nothing's broken. That bitch tried to destroy my important work." the girl said to herself as Willow rubbed her face, and looked around. "She won't get away with it!"



"Excuse me, just who the hell are you?" Buffy asked, and latched on to Faith, who had just shown up.



Faith looked over the new girl, and examined the black, green, and red outfit, "You're wearing the old Science Academy uniform."



The girl ignored both officers as she looked Willow's body over, "Are you outta your mind?" she asked glancing up, "Your body is sagging. Your muscle power is reduced and it's affecting you combat capability." the girl circled around and poked Willow just below her breasts, "That may also affect your visual-psychological warfare."



"What the hell are you talking about?" Willow growled picking the girl up by the collar of her shirt, "Whether my body is sagging or not, is none of your business." she then leaned in narrowing her eyes, "Just what is visual/psychological warfare, anyway?"



"I mean erotic warfare." The girl deadpanned, causing Willow's eyes to narrow further.



"Why you little brat! Do you know what you're talking about? I've been wearing the same size for 700 years. So what do you think of that, smart ass?"



The girl looked up at Willow, not even put off by being held by her shirt, "What I think is, that is no way for you to talk to your sister."



"Huh?" Willow dropped the girl with stunned look on her face.



"That's right, Willow. Not only did I create you. I'm also the one that created Miss Kitty, and Souja as well." she said with a smirk.



"Oh!" Buffy shouted, "You're that schoolgirl that was kidnapped by Glory."



"Schoolgirl? Yeah right." The girl snorted, "No. My name is Dawn, and I'm the greatest scientist in the universe. Although I have to admit I am cute." Dawn smiled, and turned to Willow, "Don't you think so, sis?"



Willow clenched her fists, "Stop joking! I've been alone for 2,000 years ever since I was born..." Willow trailed off, "Was I born?" she shook her head, and glanced around the room, "Where are we, anyway?"



"This is the reversed world." Dawn spoke as if it was known to everyone.



"Reversed?" Faith asked confused, and saw the same confusion on Buffy and Willow's faces.



Dawn sighed, "This ship has a double structure... A top and a bottom, and a one-way throughfare."



"I don't care!" Willow growled, "How do we get to Glory?"



"To get revenge for Tara?" Dawn ask quietly as she turned her head, and heard Willow's energy blade form, before she felt it placed under her chin.



"And how do you know about Tara?"



"Just as you are connected to Miss Kitty..." Dawn looked up at Willow, "I am connected with you. That's why I know." Willow looked at the girl surprised, "I know everything. Everything about how you feel about Tara. You like her, you love her. You've never felt like this before, and you'd go anywhere with her. And you'd do anything for her."



As the girl spoke Willow lowered her energy blade, and let it disappear as she looked at the floor. "Wow, she really thinks that?" Buffy asked causing Willow to get angry.



"Stop it! Just shut the hell up!" Willow shouted bringing her energy sword back to Dawn's neck.



The scientist looked up and shrugged, "I won't stop you, if you want to go. It should be no problem for you.



"Stop it, Willow! Maybe you can get us out of here!" Faith shouted hoping Willow would see her point.



"Yeah," Buffy nodded, "You're fighting the wrong person. You should be fighting Glory."



Willow turned and began walking away, and stopped when she heard Dawn's voice, "I just have one request before you go. Would you please call me your sister?" Willow growled and turned away as she fazed back into the top of the ship.

[Stormforce]

Viximon - I'll have Xander helping Tara with Glory, and Anya will begin to see him in a better light. I love writing Dawn like Washu was in the series. And with her knowing everything about Willow and Tara's relationship in BtVS, I thought she'd make a great Washu seeing as how she also knew everything. Here's the update.



Egnalos - Tara is in this update, along with Xander. And yup, Anya is still with the freak, but don't worry Willow will be making another apperance...and with Anya's help they'll be battling Glory... And here's the first part of the ass kicking

Chapter Sixteen: Battle Part One



Back on Miss Kitty, Xander had examined and re-examined every screen of the debris he'd pulled up, and couldn't stop the tears from stinging his eyes. He had tried everything he could think of to find his sister, and even had asked Miss Kitty to enlarge some of the screens, and found nothing.



The young man fell to his knees, and covered his face with his hands. Tara was gone, and he couldn't help but think he should have been right there with her when the dome exploded. His body shook with sobs, and he heard Miss Kitty give a mournful 'Meow', even the ship knew what had happened, and was just as sad as he was.



It was then he felt something, but he didn't know what it was. It felt like and energy spike, and he stood, dried his eyes, and concentrated. There it was again, that energy spike, but it was two of them, one was more powerful than the other, closing his eyes and focusing on what he felt; Xander disappeared from the bridge -leaving behind a very confused Miss Kitty.



After Willow had fazed away, Buffy had ran forward calling for her to wait, and felt Dawn grab her arm, "Let go, we need to help her."



"We can't," Dawn shook her head, "Once we're on this side of the ship, we can't get out unless Glory is destroyed."



"But she..." Buffy pointed to where Willow had been standing, and felt more tears wanting to fall.



Faith shook her head, she thought she understood what was going on, but knew Buffy either didn't want to, or just couldn't understand. "You see, that was Willow's astral body I brought here. Her physical body was on the other side."



Buffy clasped her hands, and looked up at the ceiling as if in deep thought, and looked back at the young girl, "Where did you say we were, again?" Dawn groaned, she couldn't believe why this officer could not understand, and just how did she get to be a Galaxy Police officer anyway?



Faith smirked, even after being partners with Buffy for four years, and her girlfriend for three, she still wanted to smack Buffy half the time, and could tell Dawn was getting close at the moment.



"Anya." A voice called in the dark causing the princess to wake, and see Kairi approach her.



"Kairi." Anya said happily and reached toward her sister, and squeeked when she saw she was nude. The princess covered her breasts, as Kairi gently touched her shoulders.



"Anya, I need you to tell me something."



Anya smiled, "What is it?"



"I need to know about the greatest force in the universe. The force you can tap into with the master key, it's an ancestor of the royal family's tree, the King of the universe who rules the entire Earth, Tsunami."



"Tsunami?" Anya asked, wondering why Kairi would want to know about that when she already did.



"How is it that only the royal family can control it? Tell me." Kairi's voice changed to be more forceful, causing Anya to jerk her head back.



"No! You are not my sister!" Anya shouted, "Let me go!" she screamed as she felt a burning pain in her shoulder, looking down, she saw Kairi's hand reaching through her body.



"Is it the blood of the Jurai royal family?" Kairi asked as her face turned into a mask of evil. "Or do I need to take something else from you?" she smirked with her eyes roaming over Anya's body.



"No! Tara! Xander! Help me!" Anya shouted, as her power spiked and her body glowed bright white with a blue outline, pushing Kairi back, and revealing her to be Glory.



"That damned Tsunami!" Glory growled as she stepped back from the princess, "She must be protecting those of royal blood." The pirate held her hand out as if to use her power, "In that case--" she stopped when an energy bolt was thrown into her wrist.



"And what will you do to me?" Willow asked glaring at the pirate.



Glory turned her head, and smirked as she closed her fist making the energy bolt disappear, "Now, how did you escape from your cage? Well, now that you're here, I have a little task for you."



"I'm at your service." Willow smirked, ready for anything Glory could throw at her.



Xander appeared in a beautiful garden with a knee-deep pond circling around a large tree, and several smaller tree circling the pond. He glanced around, and even though he was in a strange place, he felt safe. He felt the same energy as before, and turned around to see a bright blue light appear, and three wing like petals open to reveal Tara. Happy as a little lark; Xander shot forward with tears shining in his eyes, happy that he'd found his sister.



Tara opened her eyes and could feel the warmth around her body, and let out a sigh, "Where am I? What happened?" she asked, and soon found herself in a bone-crushing hug. "Whoa! Xander...I need to breath."



"Sorry!" Xander lessened the hug but didn't pull away, "I thought I had lost you! I don't wanna lose you, I love you too much, your my big sister! You should have seen Willow! She went nuts, sending Miss Kitty into the Souja, before she and the others boarded. She seemed like she was dead, or something. She must really love you, no, I know she loves you."



"Xander!" Tara giggled, She loves me too! "Breathe, take more than one breath."



A giggle caught the siblings attention; Tara looked up, and Xander turned, but still had his arms around Tara's waist. The both saw a young brown haired woman, with brown eyes.



"You're all right, now. The both of you." she said and smiled.



"Who are you?" Tara asked, looking at the woman, and saw the large tree behind her, One of the Juraian trees?



"Yeah, and where are we?" Xander asked thinking the woman was beautiful, but still wanted to get back to Anya, and make sure she was okay.



"I am Tsunami, the ship of Jurai." Tsunami said looking at Tara, and glanced as Xander, "And we are inside of myself."



"Inside of you?" Both Tara and Xander asked in unison, "But you're a human." Xander blinked.



"Oh, wait, I get it," Tara nodded to herself, "You're the owner of this ship right?"



"No," Tsunami shook her head, "The owner is Hallie."



"Hallie?" Tara asked turning to glance around the garden thinking she'd see the little princess there, but she was no where to be seen.



"Yes," Tsunami nodded, "What I am is the mind of this ship."



"Umm, question." Xander held up his right hand, "Then your like a human version of Miss Kitty?"



"Oh, no!" Tara shouted, "Miss Kitty! Willow, and the others! Where are they?"



Tsunami lowered her head, and closed her eyes, "There is a reaction of Ryu-Oh's key 70 light-seconds from here." she said as the pond began to ripple, and show an image of the Souja.



"Are they all right?" Tara asked worriedly, and saw Xander wringing his hands and remembered what he said about the girls going on to the Souja. Well damn!



"I can feel the reaction of the key from inside Souja."



"Then they're alive." Xander sighed.



"There's a hand-to-hand battle going on inside."



Tara's head jerked up as her eyes widened, "A fight?! Please, you've got to get me over there!"



"Yeah! I wanna go to!" Xander nodded, even though he didn't have a weapon, he was going to help, and keep an eye on his sister.



Tsunami looked at Tara first, and then let her eyes settle on Xander, "You must understand, I cannot leave this place, so you must go alone." she said lowering her eyes for a moment before making eye contact with Tara, "Is that all right with you."



Both Tara and Xander nodded, "Yes." They knew with the training they'd been put through that they could fight, and would get the girls to saftey. But neither one noticed that something was off about Tsunami, the goddess of Jurai. If either one had looked down, and seen the goddess' reflection, they would have seen Hallie's reflection, and not Tsunami's.



On the Souja...



Willow flew backwards toward a pillar, and dodged a green energy disc as it flew into the pillar she was in front of, and exploded. Glory followed blocking Willow's energy blasts, as she flew into the dust, and back out blocking more blasts.



But she was having problems, Anya was also throwing her own energy blasts, and it was becoming difficult to block both attacks at once. Just as the pirate blocked a blast from Willow, she was thrown into the wall from Anya's Juraian energy.



"Way to go, Princess." Willow grinned, and let two blasts race forward, exploding as they hit Glory, and shoved her back into the wall, again.



In the bottom section of the ship, Dawn had blueprints of the ship out, and was showing them to Buffy, and Faith.



"So, we really can't get outta here?" Buffy asked as she stared at the blueprints not understanding a word, or a drawing on them.



"That's what I've been trying to explain to you." Dawn said hoping that Buffy was finally getting it. "It's like this here," she pointed to a complacated drawing, "And like this over there." she pointed to another drawing, this time it was more complacted than the last. "And this is the last line here. So, you see, there is no way out of here. Absolutely none. No way, that's it! Understand?"



Buffy raised up crossing her arms, and Faith smirked, she knew what the blonde was about to say, and waited. Buffy's eyes glazed over as she shook her head, "Nope, I didn't understand a word you said." Faith laughed, there it was, she knew it, and couldn't help but laugh harder as Dawn began hitting her head on the floor.



As Dawn stood, and began a easier explanation for Buffy to understand; Glory blocked another energy blast, and brought up her green energy blade. Willow, seeing this, brought up her own red blade as she flew backwards, and low to the floor, as she blocked Glory's blade from severing her head.



Pulling back, Willow swung her blade around, and felt it smack against the other blade. Growling she fazed, and kicked Glory in the back, sending the pirate into the wall, and watched as more blue energy joined her's.



"So we can never get out of this place?" Buffy asked in a small voice.



"That's what she's sayin' B." Faith shook her head, "We're just gonna have to wait."



"Oh my god!" Dawn sighed, "Where were you when they handed out the brains?"



"Don't ask me, she was probably watching cartoons." Faith teased as she leaned against the wall.



Buffy grabbed on to Dawn's leg, looking up at her with large round tear-filled eyes, "But how can that be? This is your creation!"



Dawn turned her head with a smirk, "Yep," she said, "That's why it's so perfect!" she shouted, scaring the blonde into falling on her ass.



Willow flipped over in mid-air, and twisted her body around, and saw Glory slowly hover above the floor as Anya's small logs circled the pirate. Willow gasped, she didn't that would work, and looked over her shoulder to see the princess near a large pillar -holding herself up- as she summoned the logs. Anya was breathing hard, and narrowed her eyes, getting ready to electrocute Glory. The princess had been doing just fine, and now she was using those logs?



"What can I say?" Dawn sighed, as Buffy sobbed loudly in Faith's arms, "Look, there are only two things we can do."



"Oh?" Buffy automaticly stopped crying, causing Faith to roll her eyes. Dawn held out her right hand summoning an image of Willow with her energy blade out, "What can we do?"



"Take this," Dawn tossed both Buffy and Faith a set of pom-poms, "And join in." The officers stared at the pom-poms in confusion, and fell to the floor when Dawn began shaking them, and hopping up and down, "Hooray! Go Willow! Go sis! You can do it!"



Willow flew over Anya's head using her blade to cut through the stone pillar, and watch as it fell on top of Glory. Willow smirked and landed on the pillar, "That's a super-compressed tektite column, she must have been hurt." she didn't see Glory rising out of the stone, but felt her hand when the pirate grabbed her right leg.



Willow gasped as she was raised into the air, and grunted in pain as Glory brought her down on the stone, hard enough to break a five-foot round circle in the pillar. Blood flew from her mouth, as she saw Glory's blade appear, and fazed into the stone, as the pirate thrust the blade where her heart would have been -if she'd stayed. A blast of Juraian energy exploded around Glory.



"Sorry, Princess." the pirate said as she threw her own energy at Anya, cauing her to fly back, and skid across the floor.



A hand formed in the stone, wrapping around Glory, as Willow's shape formed in the pillar and stood with the pirate in her hand, "I'll squeeze you to death." Willow growled and tightened her grip.



"I'm sure you would, that is, if you could." Glory smirked.



"What?" Willow asked surprised as her stone hand began to crack, and break away.



"Is there a problem?" Glory laughed.



"Why doesn't that fool use her full power?" Dawn asked aloud as she and the officers watched the image.



"You mean she isn't using it?" Buffy asked lowering her pom-poms.



"If she was, this would be over by now!" Dawn snapped, "Even though she penetrated Glory's force-field, there is no way for her to win. Not even on her own turf." Dawn explained, as Glory shot several energy blasts at the stone Willow, breaking it apart.



Willow hurt all over from the blasts, and heard Anya's frightened scream, turning her head she saw the princess lying on the ground trying to move, as the debris fell toward her. Willow grunted in pain as she fazed, wrapped her arms around Anya's waist, and flew off just as the large pieces of debris crashed to the ground.



"Oh, I see, that was why." Dawn nodded as she crossed her arms, and watched the scene.



Faith cocked an eyebrow, "What do you mean?" To her it seemed like the scientist had been locked away for too long.



"If Willow had been using her full power, the discharge of the extra energy would have burned Anya to a cinder."



"Well, what should we do?" Buffy asked watching as Dawn looked at the ceiling in thought.



Dawn stuck her hand out toward the blonde, "Hand me your control cube."



Willow was holding Anya in her left arm, as she kept an energy shield up with her right, and blocked the continuous energy flow from Glory. After only several seconds the energy became too much for Willow to block, and was thrown back into the wall, as Anya fell to the floor. Glory had a smirk on her face as she approached Anya, and held her hand out, "I'll help you." she said, and saw Anya sink down into the floor.



"Anya." Buffy caught the princess as she fell back from weakness.



"We can't get over there," Dawn said holding Buffy's control cube up, "But they can come here."



"You are making it easier for Willow to fight, are you?" Glory said as her astral body appeared behind the scientist, "Even my power cannot reach here."



"If that's so, then go away." Dawn smiled, "If you do, then I'll let you go for old time's sake." she said as Willow pulled herself away from the wall she'd been thrown into.



"Let me go? Now that's a good one."



"Willow and myself are not your hostages anymore."



"I'm no longer your assistanst... Professor." Glory spoke slowly, never noticing that Willow was slowly walking across the top room, "You really assume that I haven't learned anything in the past 5,000 years?" she asked, as blue, green, orange, pink, and yellow lights began circling under Willow's foot.



The four women looked above them when they heard what sounded like an alarm beeping, but was only louder, "What did you just do?" Dawn asked staring at the ceiling.



"I have unleashed all the power of the gems toward Souja... Unfortunately, I couldn't develop a more compact version like Willow." The pirate said as Willow fell to her knees in pain, as the lights spread across the floor, and began draining her energy. "But, with just one session, I can pull up far more power than Willow can."



Willow stared at her wrist, and saw the red gem blinking, "Dammit! My power is draining."

Great chapter, more please.

[ceridwenfaylinn]

Hey sweetie



Cool update.



And nice ass kicking, altho i wanna see Willow go all out and really kick Glory's ass.



And i really loved the parts where Buffy didnt understand and when she was sobbing and holding onto Dawn's leg... and pretty much every scene with Buffy in it. She's just sooooo funny



I'll be waiting for your next update.



Bye sweetie

[robotguru]

Oooh...Willow is in trouble *bites nails*

------------------



There can be no rainbow without rain, you cannot know true happiness until you know sadness first.

[Stormforce]

Viximon - I wanted something that showed just how much Xander cares for Tara, and figured that would be a good way of showing it Willow and Anya fighting Glory together was, to me, a way of getting them to work together, instead of fighting, but then again, they'll be fighting each other afterwards. Here's the update



WickedReds - Yep, Willow is Dawn's sister, I liked that idea better than having Dawn be Willow's mother. I'm sorry if I confused you with everything that was going on during this battle...I'm hoping that this chapter won't be as bad



Egnalos - Tara is back, and she's gonna be kicking ass Glade you liked the pom-pom scene, it was funny in the anime. And I do believe this is the chapter you've been waiting on, so, here it is.



Ceridwenfaylinn - Glad you liked the Buffy scenes, since Buffy is taking Mihoshi's place, she's got a great part to be funny. But one thing, Willow won't be fighting in this chapter, it's for mostly Tara, and Xander also helps in the battle against Glory

Chapter Seventeen: Battle Part Two



Outside the ship, four unit's on either side of the ship opened, glowing red, as they began gathering more and more of the Souja, and Willow's energy. "I'm going to show you an experiment," Glory turned as the shutters opened showing Earth, "Just like in the old days."



"You can't..." Anya's eyes went wide as the Souja's cannon began humming loudly.



"If I can't have your cooperation, Princess Anya..." Glory cut her eyes toward the princess, "Then I can always go to your two sisters on Earth." The pirate laughed and disappeared.



"No! Stop!" Anya shouted as the humming turned into a blast, "Hallie! Kairi!" Anya screamed as the large yellow blast of energy shot toward the planet.



Just as the blast reached Earth eight wings appeared, two in the middle of three wings on either side, and blocked the energy, causing it to disappear. "With only those wings..." Glory whispered to herself, and was surprised as the Souja began shaking, as three lines of ten cannon blasts hit the ship. "What in the hell is going on?" Glory asked staring into space, as Willow fought to rise from the floor.



It was then the pirate stepped back as a large ship appeared in front of the Souja, and ten wings appeared circling it, "The ten wings of the Light-Hawk!" Anya stated as she watched the ship appeare, "The most powerful ship of Jurai's royal family, Tsunami."



"So that's it." Dawn said taking in the Juraian ship.



"The shield is not working!" Glory growled, "But there's still more to come from the force of the gems!"



Willow stared at Tsunami in disbelief, she couldn't believe she was seeing it, "That is the most powerful of any, and all ships."



"Your role is finished." Glory stood over Willow, "When your consciousness goes to sleep, all the power of your gems will go to Souja." she said covering Willow's face with her hand, and lifting her up, "It's too bad you won't be able to see me as the ruler of the universe."



Tears stung Willow's eyes as Glory began squeezing her head, "I'm sorry, Tara..." she whispered, and felt Glory let up, as her arm cut off.



"What the hell was that?" Glory growled as her arm reappeared.



Willow could feel arms holding her close to a warm body, and looked up into Tara's smiling face, "Tara...are you real?" she asked weakly, and saw Tara's face had the same three marks as Anya had. It must've been because Tara was in Juraian battle gear, a white suit covered by a dark blue robe, and an orange and black belt.



"Well, I'm not a ghost." Tara grinned, happy that Willow was safe.



"This is surprising." Glory said and saw Tara glare at her, "I thought you were dead."



Even though she didn't want to, Tara lowered Willow to the floor, and saw Xander appear behind the pirate holding the sword Tsunami gave him. It was exactly like hers; the only difference was there were no gems in the hilt, but Tsunami had said it was just as powerful. "No, Tara, please don't." Willow said weakly as Tara straightened up.



"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Tara smiled, as her blue metal headband sparkled in the light.



"So, what do you plan to do, little girl?" Glory asked in a bored tone, wondering if this girl, this half human, half Juraian girl thought she could beat her.



Tara turned toward the pirate with a glare, and started to step forward, but stopped with a surprised look on her face, "Huh?" she looked down, and saw her left leg was still stuck inside the portal she'd appeared in, "I'm stuck!"



Glory had an annoyed look on her face, and saw Willow shake her head, and sigh, Oh boy, we're in trouble. The demon thought, and saw Xander sneaking up behind Glory, Well, maybe not that much trouble...but then again, it might be a lot worse.



"And now I'm worried." Dawn said causing the other girls to fall to the floor surprised.



Glory raised her hand, deciding that now was as good a time as any to get rid of the girl, and felt a burning pain in her back, as Xander's sword sliced across her back. Turning she sneered, and raised her own energy blade, bringing it down, and connecting with Xander's, and forcing him back a step as he strained against her strength. Droping in a crouch, Xander quickly turned kicking his right leg out, and sweeping Glory's feet out from under her.



Xander stood and jumped into the air, and grabbed the sword with both hands as he brought it down, hoping to stab the pirate in her heart. Glory saw what was coming, and raised her hand, throwing a ball of green energy as Xander neared; the blast hit the boy in the chest, sending him flying back into the wall, and making a body-sized crack.



Anya screamed when she saw the blood seep from the corner of Xander's mouth, as he slid to the floor unconscious, Please let him be alright. The princess thought worriedly, and saw Adam and Oz appear next to Tara.



"Leave this to us, Tara." Oz said and shot forward with Adam by his side.



"Now, the two of you are funny. You're too relaxed to attack!" Glory snorted raising her hand, and sending the guardians flying back into the wall beside Xander, just as Tara got her leg free from the portal.



Tara blinked when she saw the guardians fly by her, and crash into the wall, "You two look after Willow and Xander.



"Yes ma'am." The guardians said, as Tara turned raising her sword, and ran forward with a battle cry.



Tara made a half-circle toward Glory and jumped into the air raising her sword above her head, and bringing it down. The pirate just stood watching, and caught the blade only an inch from her head, and smirked as the blade disappeared.



"Oh, damn!" Tara growled as she landed on her feet, and jumped back, "Just when I needed it the most."



"If you can't use your weapon, you're fighting a meaningless fight." Glory said, and forced Tara back with a blast of energy. Tara fell to her knees as another blast of energy slammed into her, "The master key is nothing more than a tool for extracting the power from a ship. So, it's useless when cut off from the ship's power."



Tara growled as she rose, ordering the blade to appear in her mind, and ran forward, and thrust her left hand forward in a fist as Glory caught her sword hand. Tara's fist connected with the force-field around Glory, causing an energy blast to throw her back, only Glory kept a tight grip on her wrist, and didn't let her go.



"Tara!" Willow shouted and tried to stand, only to remember that she was now stuck to the floor -the ship still draining her power little by little- "Hey! Why don't you two help?" she asked the guardians.



"We can't." Oz said in a strained voice as the energy wave pressed against their wooden bodies.



"We're caught by the powerful forces Glory is using... we're using all our power just to shield it." Adam said straining to stay where he was.



"What's wrong? Glory asked amused, as she held Tara up by her right wrist, "Isn't your little sword helping you?" Tara glared at the pirate as she struggled, "You'd still be alive if you had abandoned these girls."



"I'd rather die that forsake any one of them!" Tara said causing Glory to laugh, and throw her against the base of a stone pillar, and just like Xander, she made a body-size crack in the stone.



"Fine with me." Glory laughed louder, "I have all of the gems." she said, and began drawing more power, as a darkness surrounded her body.



Willow began screaming in pain, as her energy was drained quicker; the last two gems in Tara sword began blinking as they were also drained of power.



"This force is wonderful!" Glory shouted as she looked at her hands, and turned toward the open shutters, "Come to me now, Tsunami!"



"No! This can't be the end for us!" Tara growled when she saw the powerful ship moving toward the Souja.



"Dammit! Can't you do something brilliant!" Anya shouted at Dawn, causing the girl to lean back, "You created this friggin' ship!"



"She's right." Buffy said nodding.



Faith stepped beside her lover, and nodded, "Yeah, isn't there like an alternative, or something? You know, something you haven't thought of yet?"



"Well, sure, there is one other thing we could try." Dawn said and looked toward the floor.



"What is it?" Anya asked, figuring if the girl knew everything like she said she did, then she could get them out of this.



Dawn clapped her hands, and then clasped them together, "We can pray real hard." Anya, Buffy, and Faith stared at the scientist before they fell back in shock, all thinking one thing, and that was: 'We're going to die!'



The top part of the Souja opened as the ship Tsunami appeared, and began lowering, on board, Tsunami was watching and didn't appear to be worried. The reflection of Hallie covered her eyes, "I'm scared, Tsunami!" her voice betrayed how frightened she was.



Inside the Souja, Glory raised her hands, "It won't be long until I rule the universe!



"Tara, I'm scared." Hallie whispered, as Tsunami watched.



Tara was watching as the ship lowered, and closed her eyes. Xander was still unconscious, but was beginning to stir; Willow couldn't move, seeing as how she was weakened and was now lying on the floor, and the others were no where to be seen. "I'm sorry, I have failed you. I am not capable of saving your sister, or anyone else, Hallie." Tara turned her head as a tear rolled down her cheek, "I can't even use my sword."



Trust in your own power. Tara heard whispered into her mind, and remembered what Tsunami had said just before she and Xander stepped through the portal.



"Please, you both must be careful. The Souja is extremely dangerous."



Tara raised her sword and smiled, "Don't worry, As long as I have this, I think I can manage."



"Yeah," Xander nodded happily as he raised his own sword, "With these, we'll get the girls off that ship."



"No." Tsunami stepped forward placing her right hand on Tara's shoulder, and her left on Xander's. "Those swords are just tools for drawing power," she said and pressed her forhead to Tara's first, and then Xander's. Three marks on their heads glowed white as she stepped back and smiled, "You both must trust in your own powers."



"Our powers?" Xander asked confused, he didn't know he had power of any kind, and could tell by the look on his sister's face, she didn't know it either.



"Our power." Tara echoed, and began to feel something deep within her.



"Yes." Tsunami smiled at them both, and watched as they had stepped through the portal.



Tara let a smile cross her face as she stood, and saw Xander slowly making his way toward her. Glory turned and frowned, "How the hell can you have any spirit left in you?"



Tara looked down at the sword in her hand, "I guess I was really depending on this sword too much." she said and saw Xander nod.



"I thought having a sword would help, but now, I can see I was wrong." the boy said grinning his boyish grin.



Glory smirked at the siblings, "I was going to dispose of you later, but seeing as how you want to die so much, I'll do it now." she said and held her hand out toward the young man and woman, and was surprised to see them toss their swords to the floor, "You're giving up."



"Holy hell, Tara! Run! Get your ass, and Xander's away from there!" Willow shouted, and was weakened further as red electricity ran through her body.



"Dammit!" Any shouted, "Xander, move your cute ass! And take Tara with you!"



"No, please, stop." Willow whispered as she crawled forward, and fell back to the floor, "You've gotten everything you wanted." Tara could see the teardrops as they hit the floor, "Please, spare her."



Glory cut her eyes to Willow, as her smirk grew into an evil smile, "Is this young woman that important to you?" she asked and gave her full attention to the siblings, "Don't worry, I will make sure you and Princess Anya will be following these two very soon, so they won't be lonely."



"No!" Willow screamed, soon joined by Anya's as Glory raised her hand and shot a large blast of green energy toward the siblings.



The blast destroyed the pillar that was standing proud behind Tara and Xander, dust flew unto the air, following the shattered stones. In the second part of the ship, Anya fell to her knees, sobbing, as Willow buried her face in the crook of her arm. Nothing could have survived that blast is was too powerful, and Willow herself knew if she had been the one hit by it, she would have to recover for at least a day.



"Now, it's your turn." Glory said turning toward Willow, and didn't see the two sets of three lights in the shape of a triangle. "What?" she asked in surprise when the glow caught her attention, "The force from the ship should have been cut off by now!"



Willow raised her head, and saw Tara and Xander standing, three wings in front of them, one starting at their waists and stopping near the floor, and the other two starting four inches above the bottom one, and pointing out to the sides over their shoulders. She also saw the three marks on their foreheads glowing bright, and smiled.



"They're alive!" Anya shouted happily as she dried her eyes.



"You bastards!" Glory shouted and watched as the siblings raised both hands outward, and the two top wings moving toward them, and turning their battle gear blue, with a armor chest plate. The lower wings raise into the air allowing Tara and Xander to grab them. As their fingers wrapped around the wings they turned into a large silver sword, with a golden hilt.



"Material metamorphosis!" Dawn smiled as her eyes lit up like a christmas tree, "Incredible! The wings of the Light-Hawk!"



Glory cupped her hands and sent a poweful blast of green energy at the siblings, and watched in shock as they reflected it off their blades. Xander raced forward raising his blade up, and bringing it down against Glory's blade, and shattering the green energy sword as he passed.



"No!" Glory shouted as twenty diamond shaped crystals rose out of the floor, "Get them!" she ordered as ten flew after Xander, and the other ten went after Tara.



Xander side flipped bringing his sword around, and shattering a crystal as it neared, and crouched down to let two more pass overhead. Rising, he brought his sword up, and shattered two more, and a third as he spun around, and finally kicked another into the wall, where in shattered on contact.



Holding his hand out, Xander let a blast of his own energy fly, and destroyed three more, and leaving only two, and ran toward them. Kicking off the ground Xander spun around in mid-air, knocking one into the wall, and shattering the other with his sword.



As the crystals raced toward Tara, she had jumped into the air, landed on one, and shattered another before she kicked off the one she was standing on -and sent it flying into the wall. She flipped over two more and crouched down as the others sped by, quickly turning she flipped up, and shattered two as she kicked one into another, and shattered a third with her blade as she landed.



Just as Xander had a few seconds eariler, Tara held her hand out as a blast of energy destroyed the four crystals in front of her. Feeling the power behind her, Tara back flipped over the last, and cut the crystal in half as she landed.



When the dust cleared, Tara jumped to the right to avoid Glory as she appeared out of the dust with her energy blade in hand, and fired a blast of energy at the pirate. Glory hit the wall, and stood growling as she stared at the siblings, who were standing side-by-side. As if someone had screamed out 'Go!' all three ran forward with their blades held in front of them. Glory made two quick swipes, and felt two blades cut into her body.



Tara and Xander let out low growls as a bright light healed their bodied, and turned toward the pirate; Glory stared at the wall before turning, and smirking at the siblings, "Nice plan, Tsunami. Sending these two to kill me." she said as her body began disappearing, "You've won, children, you've won."



A boy and girl that can create the wings of the Light-Hawk. Dawn thought, and smiled, "I want to test them!" she shouted.



With Glory now gone; the floor of the Souja glowed green for a few seconds, as the energy was returned to it's rightful places -namely back to Willow, Tara's sword, and the ship Tsunami. The Light-Hawk wings disappeared, leaving Tara and Xander back in their battle gear, as Willow rose off the floor, and shot forward.



"Tara!" she shouted wrapping her arms around Tara waist, and kissing her cheek.



Tara smiled, and pulled Willow closer to her and sighed; Willow was safe now, and she couldn't help it if it felt so good to have her wrapped in her arms, or to be in Willow's arms. Anya, Faith, Buffy, and Dawn appeared and ran forward. Anya ran straight for Xander, and bestowed him with one long kiss that had Xander grinning goofily when she pulled back.



After Faith, and Buffy had hugged the siblings, and Hallie, and Miss Kitty appeared on the Souja; Dawn had stepped forward. Willow had kissed Miss Kitty on the head, and in a moment of softness, she had embraced the small princess.



"How do you do? My name is Dawn." The scientist said shaking Tara, then Xander's hand, "I would like to thank you both from saving me from Glory." she smiled.



"Uh, sure." Tara shrugged, Looks like we're gonna have another guest. she thought as Dawn stepped closer to her and Xander.



"I like you." Dawn clasped her hands behind her back, "Would you two like to become my guinea pigs for my experiments?"



Willow grabbed the scientist and pulled her away from Tara, and was joined by Anya in glaring at Dawn, "Listen, sister!" Willow growled, bearing her teeth, and narrowing her eyes even more.



"What's the problem?" Dawn asked looking from her sister, to Anya.



"You stay away from my Xander! He's mine! You can't have him!" Anya growled, and turned back to the boy she'd just claimed as hers.



"Yeah, you can't have Tara either!" Willow said in a dangerous voice, before letting Dawn go.



Just as Willow was walking back over to Tara, the ship shook, and two parts slid down; Dawn stratched the back of her head, as the others looked around with plate-sized eyes, "Hmm, I guess the Souja was cut in half also." Dawn said like it was nothing to be worried about.



"Don't just stand there, looking impressed!" The group shouted, "Let's get outta here!" The screamed as the Souja exploded in a flash of orange light.



It was early the next morning on Earth at the Maclay household, the birds were singing; the fish were jumping into the air catching their breakfast, and Adam and Oz were on either side of the wooden fence leading into the front yard. A young man about Xander's age was whistling a happy tune as he rode his bike toward the fence, and stuck the morning paper in a slot in Adam's back. The boy fell to the ground, frightened, as the two guardians turned.



"Thank you." They both said, and watched the boy run off screaming, and leaving his bike behind.



"What was his problem?" Oz asked turning toward Adam.



"I don't know." Adam replied not turning.



"What are you doing?!" Anya shouted as a small dust cloud rose into the air from one of Willow's energy blasts.



"Will you two stop that?" Faith shouted, as she and Buffy stepped outside.



"Oh shut up." Willow said, "Leave us alone!"



Dawn nodded, "Yeah, best to leave them alone."



"Breakfast is ready!" Hallie called to the group, and saw Tara and Xander nod, before they ran past her. Those two will never stop fighting, even though they weren't after the same person. Hallie had to sigh as she stepped back into the house.



"It's going to be a fine day today." Oz said as he stared forward.



"Yes, and another peacefull breakfast on the planet Earth." Adam said as everyone ran into the house for breakfast.

Chapter Eighteen: Shoujo Manga or Girls' Comics



Another beautiful day dawned at the Maclay household, as the birds decided to rest their wings, and laned on top of Adam and Oz. The guardians made yawning sounds as they woke from the night's sleep, "Looks like it's going to be a nice day." Oz said wondering where the paperboy was, he usually had showed up by now, well, at least he had come back and retrueved his bike.



"Such wonderful spring-like weather." Adam said, as he too, wondered where the paperboy was, and figured he was running late. Neither guardian had any way of knowing that the paperboy had to visit a therapist, due to screaming about talking logs, and fences. But if they had know, they both would have most likely said they were 'Guardians' and not logs or a fence.



Inside the house Tara was sleeping peacefully in her room, as was Xander in his own room just down the hall from hers. The morning sunlight peeked though her shades, hitting Tara's face causing her to wake, blinking her eyes slowly, and yawning she sat up.



"Good morning." A tired face with bloodshot eyes said quietly.



Tara blinked once, and her eyes widened as she screamed and bolted from her bed, she never heard Xander's frightened scream join hers, after he saw an equally tired face with bloodshot eyes staring at him, and heard a whispered 'Good morning'.



Tara fell to the floor as she jumped from the bed, and hurriedly stood and bolted toward her door, trying to get it open, "Tara?" Willow asked confused as to why Tara was running from her.



"Willow? Goddess! You scared the hell out of me!" Tara said turning with her hand over her heart, "I wish you wouldn't faze into my room like that, especially if it's just your head." Tara walked out of her room, and saw Xander leaning against the wall, and breathing hard. Giving her brother an understanding smile, Tara turned the corner.



It had been three days since they'd defeated Glory, and every morning since then she had woken to have Willow staring down at her, and it always scared the hell out of her. It was the same with Xander; Anya would sneak into his room after he drifted off to sleep, and watch him half the night. Neither Tara, nor Xander had told the girls how they felt, and both were now thinking they should, if they were going to be watched. At least if they did tell them, then they could possibly share their bed and let the girls get some sleep.



"But I was worried that you would go away if I didn't watch over you." Willow fazed through the wall, giving Xander another heart attack -he had not been expecting Willow to do that- and followed Tara.



"Were you in my room all night again?" Tara asked, she was secretly glad that Willow loved her enough to watch over her, but she really wished that Willow would have at the very least got some sleep.



"Uh-huh." Willow said and floated in front of Tara as she stopped, and began drawing little circles on Tara's chest right above her breasts.



"Umm, Willow, could you not, uh, follow my any further?"



"Huh? Why?" Willow stepped back pouting, didn't Tara want her to keep her safe? She looked over her shoulder when Tara pointed, "Oh." she nodded, and stepped aside, letting Tara into the bathroom. "Are you sure you'll be alright in there?"



"I'll manage." Tara said closing the door, and sighed, "At least there's one place I can be alone." Tara said to herself as she began undressing for the shower, and screamed when she saw Willow's head fazed through the wall, and watching her.



"Tara." Willow said to the door, as she leaned against it.



"Please, Willow, stay out!"



While Tara was trying to grow eyes in the back of her head while she showered; Xander had somehow chased Anya out of his room -hoping to get dressed in peace. As he took off his green sleep shirt he saw the ring Tsunami gave him, and wondered if Tara was still wearing hers. Shrugging the boy smiled, "Guess I don't need this anymore." he mumbled, and began to take it off, only to find it was stuck on his finger.



"Uh-oh!" Was all he could say as a bright white light surrounded his body, and the Juraian battle gear appeared. "How do I get back to my normal self?" he asked as he patted the front of the leather chest plate, and saw something small hit the floor. Picking it up he grinned, "Oh, yeah."



After being run out of Xander's room, Anya had went to her own, and got dressed before stepping back into the hallway, and glared at Willow -who was still leaning against the bathroom door. If anyone would have been around, they would have swore lightning shot from each girls' eyes, and met somewhere in the middle.



"How shameless of you so early in the morning." Anya said as Willow stood.



"Whatever, Princess. But as I recall, you got run out of Xander's room, also."



"Good morning, Anya." Tara said stepping out of the bathroom, and smiled as she walked by the princess, with Willow following her. "Morning, Xander."



"Hey, sis." Xander came out of his room, "Anya, just the person I wanted to see."



"What is it Xander?" Anya asked leaning against the boy, and saw Willow do the same with Tara.



Xander opened his hand, and showed Anya a small seed, "This is for you."



"That is from the royal tree." Anya gasped, and clasped Xander's hand.



"Yeah, Tsunami said it was for you." Tara said remembering Tsunami asking them to give it to Anya.



Xander nodded, "She said it was Ryu-Oh's seed. But I forgot to give it to you." he scratched his head, and pulled his hand back.



"Thank you." Anya smiled, "But how will I grow it?"



"Try talking to Dawn, she should know." Tara said as she pulled Xander away, "Time for us to get to work."



The princess and demon watched the siblings go, and couldn't help but wonder what it took to win their love -not knowing they already had it. Willow glanced at Anya, and Anya glaced at Willow. "Look, Princess, I don't know about you, but I think we both need some help."



"If you are refering to winning their love, then I must say we do." Anya nodded, not happy about what she was about to say, but said it nonetheless, "Maybe we should work together in figuring something out, what do you say?"



"I have to agree with you," Willow began floating toward the stairs, "I'm going to think on it, and we'll talk later." she said, and disappeared into the living room.



Anya approached what would be a closet in any other house, but in the Maclay house, it was the enterance to Dawn's laboratory. Knocking on the door the princess waited, and saw Dawn's face appear in the small round window at the top, "It's open." her face said, and disappeared as Anya stepped through.



The princess emerged in a huge room with light green walls, a wooden floor with trees and shrubs in sections, large pipes overhead, and stairs leading deeper into the lab. Dawn was sitting on a floating pillow in front of a transparent laptop-looking computer in a half-circle section of the lab.



"I'm sorry to bother you, Miss Dawn." Anya said as she closed the door, "Miss Dawn, you're the number one genius scientist in the galaxy, and there's something I'd like you to do for me."



"Yes, but Anya," Dawn paused in her typing to cut her eyes toward the princess.



"Yes, what is it?"



"Call me little Dawn." The scientist said in a sweet high-pitched voice, causing Anya to fall on her face, and hurriedly stand dusting off her royal robes.



"Excuse me, Miss Dawn..."



"Little!" Dawn said hopping off her pillow, and turning to face Anya, "I'm not going to do anything for you, unless you call me little Dawn!"



Anya frowned as her eyes narrowed, How can I call you "little" when you're supposed to be over 20,000 years old? she thought, and forced herself to smile, she was a princess after all, and dealing with things that seemed too damn weird to be came with the job of a royal. "Little Dawn, can you please do me a favor?" Dawn nodded so Anya took that as a sign to continue, "Can you build me a unit to plant Ryu-Oh's seed?"



"Oh, that is so easy." Dawn smiled, and clapped her hands.



"Of course." Anya said sweetly, knowing she had the scientist where she wanted her, "You are the number one genius scientist in the galaxy."



"Of course," Dawn turned flicking her hair over her shoulder, "I'm the number one genius scientist in the universe." she laughed, and never saw Anya's eyes narrow as she placed her hands on her hips. Deciding she'd better humor the girl, Anya laughed. "But I'm not going to do it." Dawn said causing Anya to fall flat on her face, yet again.



Anya rose from the floor holding a sledgehammer over her head ready to hit Dawn, and also had a very scary look on her face, and was also growling, "That would be my standard answer..." Dawn continued holding her hand up, as Anya's look of death turned to one of surprise, "But I'm going to do it, because I like your enthusiasm."



"Oh." Anya quicky threw the sledgehammer to the side, and smiled.



"Here's a flower pot." Dawn said handing the princess a small clay pot.



"Thank you." Anya smiled, then as if a ton of bricks hit her on the head, she growled, and hit Dawn over the head with the pot.



"I was just kidding," Dawn gave Anya a sweet "You-gotta-love-me" smile, "There's something else we can use. Glory made it, but there aren't any funny tricks involved, and the interior matches Jurai's environment. It's a good piece of work."



"Why did she make it?" Anya was confused, very confused. Glory was not a Juraian, so why would she make something like that.



"Glory's reason for having Willow to attack Jurai was to get Tsunami." Dawn explained as Anya made an "Ahh." sound in understanding. "So all I'll have to do is enter the data on your key..." she sat down on her pillow, and began typing.



"And Ryu-Oh will be resurrected." Anya finished.



Out in the fields Tara and Xander were busting up the ground with garden hoe's, and saw Miss Kitty happily running towar them. The kitten stopped, and looked out over the large fields meowing; Tara stopped to wipe the sweat from her face, and sighed. "Look, all these carrots will be for you."



Miss Kitty meowed up at Tara, and began digging around in the dirt trying to find the carrots she so loved. "Hey!" Xander shouted picking the kitten up, "They don't grow that fast!" Miss Kitty's eyes turned round and sad as what the boy said sunk into her brain.



"Yep, you're gonna have to wait." Tara smiled, and saw the kitten look like she was going to cry.



Back at the house on one of the rafters lay Willow, who had her arms behind her head as she stared out the window into the sky. She was thinking about eariler that morning when her and Anya had decided to work together, and figure out a way to win the love of the one's they loved. And it really wasn't going all that great, she hadn't thought of anything.



Hearing a giggle caused Willow to sit up and look down, Faith sighed and rolled her eyes as she tried to watch television. Buffy was using Faith's lap as a pillow as she read a small thick black and white book, and began to giggle. "Oh, I wonder what she's gonna do now?" Buffy asked as she read on, and laughed as the girl in the book fought over a pair of panties with her friend, and freaked when they flew from their hands, and slapped a boy in the face.



Willow fazed down, and leaned against the couch, "What's going on?" she asked and turned toward Hallie, who closed the book she was reading, and sighed as she blushed. Willow once again fazed over, and leaned in until her face almost touched Hallie's, and saw the girl was staring off into space. Willow bugged her eyes out, and opened her mouth wide as she wiggled her tongue around making a "Arg" sound.



Hallie screamed in fright as she raised her hand to cover her heart, "Oh, Willow..." she sighed lifting her hand to her cheek, "It's only you."



"What are you two doing?" Willow asked raising up, and glancing from the small princess to Buffy and back again.



"Well, Mr. Maclay said we could read the Shoujo Manga he has lying around."



"What is that?" Willow asked quirked her eyebrows.



"It's girls' comics, he said they were from Japan... You know, like the Sake?''



"Oh," Willow nodded, "So what are these "Girls' Comics" anyway?"



Hallie sighed, "They're stories about falling in love." When Willow made a "huh?" sound the princess shook her head, "They're about the art of love, Earth-style. You could say it's a handbook on how to win the love of someone you love."



Willow thought for a moment, and as quick as lightning she turned around with a huge smile on her face, "You mean like how to get Tara to fall in love with me?"



"Uh-huh, I think so." Hallie nodded lifting up the comic she was reading, Willow grabbed the comic and giggled. Now she could win Tara's love, and she could tell the princess what to look at, and everything would be set. "Well, I have to make breakfast." Hallie stood, and headed toward the kitchen.



In the lab electricity sparked in waves as a black portal opened, and a large oval-shaped dome slipped through, and settled on the floor. "There you go, Anya. Have fun." Dawn said and left the princess to do what she wanted.



Back in the kitchen Hallie was cooking ham while she hummed a happy tune, as she chopped up the vegetabls to make omlets. "Hey, were back." Xander announced as he, Tara, and Miss Kitty came through the back door.



"Good morning, breakfast is almost ready." Hallie spoke as she began beating the eggs.



"Okay, then we'll go get everyone." Tara smiled and started toward the living room.



"Oh, Anya's with Dawn right now."



"She's in Dawn's lab?" Xander asked already spooked about going into that huge, and to him, scary place.



Tara sighed, and rubbed her face, "I'd really rather not go in there, but I guess I'll have too, huh?"



"There's safety in numbers," Xander whispered and saw his sister nod as he followed, and felt Miss Kitty hop from the floor onto his back, and from there she hopped onto his shoulder.



"Dawn?" Tara knocked and opened the lab door, "Breakfast is ready." she said as she and Xander entered the lab.



"I thought Anya was with you." Xander let the door close and glanced around, not seeing the princess anywhere in site.



The scientist shook her head, "Nope, she's in the unit planting carrots or something." she smirked as Miss Kitty bolted from Xander's shoulder, and ran off toward the new unit, hoping to find a carrot.



"Hey! Miss Kitty!" Tara started after the kitten, but stopped when Dawn told her not to worry.



"She's just on her way to get Anya." Dawn then raised her hand, "But I needed to see the both of you." she said and snapped her fingers.



Tara turned, she didn't like the sound of Dawn's voice, and scratched the back of her head, as Xander looked from side to side. "You're up to something, aren't you?" Tara asked and never saw the two two-foot round metal balls float down behind her and Xander.



"Bingo." Dawn smiled.



"I knew it! I knew it was a bad idea to come in here!" Xander shouted as four tentacle-like cables shot out and grabbed him and his sister.



In the dome Anya was happily covering Ryu-Oh's seed, not knowing that the boy she loved was in mortal danger, or at least that's what he'd say. Anya rose from the ten-foot round circle of dirt, and walked over to the water that was surrounding the soil, and filled a canteen. When she turned she saw Miss Kitty digging where she'd planted the seed and screamed, if anyone would have seen her, they would've thought that small fangs appeared as she shot forward.



Miss Kitty gave a frightened meow as she jumped a mile high, and landed arching her back, and began hissing and growling at Anya. "This is not a carrot!" Anya growled back, using her right hand to cover the seed, and her left to keep her from falling on her face.



In a darker and deeper section of Dawn's lab, a large tank of water bubbled, as other tanks had electricity sparking in them. Also in this section of the lab Dawn made a "hmm" sound as she looked over the readouts on her computer, never glancing at the siblings.



Both Tara, and Xander were strapped to a large circle, their legs bent at the knees, and spread apart. Both of them also had cables wrapped around their arms keeping them out to the sides, and had a circle of lights on their heads. And the last thing, the one thing that really kept them from talking, was that their tongues were being held by a two-pronged clamp. But what was worse than all of that put together, was that they both were in nothing but their underwear.



"Blood, body fluids, hair samples..." Dawn counted off staring down at the computer that had two green tubes on the top, "That's all of the physical samples. Psycho-layer pattern, over dimension, parallel pattern, yeah, they're all there, and they're all normal."



"Aren't we done yet?" Tara could barely ask, but got it out in a slur. "You got everything?"



"Yeah," Xander slurred just as bad, "Hallie's got breakfast ready."



"I have all the samples I need for analysis..." Dawn said, and smirked, "Well, except for the most important ones." The siblings did not like the sound of that, and began to worry when Dawn fazed into a nurse's uniform, and put on rubber gloves. "I'm ready now."



"Ready for what?" Tara was beginning to worry a whole lot more.



"What's with the outfit?" Xander asked wide-eyed, and wished that someone, anyone would come in and save them.



"I'm an angle of mercy." Dawn giggled like a maniac as she approached them, Xander screamed when Dawn grabbed the waistband of his boxers. Tara screamed for a whole different reason, she didn't want to see Xander without his cloths on.



"What the hell are you doing?" Xander shouted as Dawn pulled on the waistband.



"I just need some sperm samples." Dawn smiled.



"You're joking right?" Tara asked, and wished she had kept her mouth shut, no telling what Dawn wanted from her.



"Oh, don't worry, I won't hurt him." The scientist grinned and turned to look up at Xander, "Now, how do you want me to do it? With my hands?"



"No!" Xander shouted.



"Then with my mouth?"



"That's even worse!" Xander shouted again, and didn't notice Tara was struggling to get the hell away.



"Oh, you want me to do it with my cleavage, then?"



"No, no, no!" Both siblings calmed down when Dawn became quite, they hoped that she was going to let them go.



"Nah, I'll give you all three!" Dawn grinned.



Tara began struggling even more, and right now she was wishing Willow would come in and save her, but that wasn't going to happen, she didn't like Dawn's lab either.



"Stop!" Xander screamed as Dawn slowly reached into his boxers, and Tara's scream joined, she didn't want to see, or hear what was about to happen.



"Excuse me."



"Huh?" Dawn turned, and the siblings stopped their screaming as they stared at Buffy.



Dawn let Xander's boxers go and jumped, "How the hell did you get in here?"



"Well, Hallie asked me to get everyone because they were late, and I got lost, and I ended up here." Buffy smiled paying no attention to the half-naked brother and sister hanging from the circles.



"Got lost?" Dawn's left eye began twitching, "This is not somewhere you can just walk into."



It was like Buffy hadn't heard what Dawn had said and just had to ask, "What are you doing?"



Dawn blushed as she looked at the floor, "Umm, we were just playing doctor."



"Oh, I see." Buffy said excitedly, "Please continue." she sat down near the computer, and hit a button causing the machine to shake, "Oh, no! I'm sorry."



"Don't touch that!" Dawn said as Buffy began pushing buttons making small plastic hands, and small toys that looked like Miss Kitty appear.



"Something's wrong." Buffy said pressing more buttons, and causing more things to pop out as Dawn hurried over to protect her computer.



"What did you touch?" Dawn asked trying to fix what Buffy had messed up.



"This I think." Buffy pressed another button causing small Willow dolls to appear, and Dawn to scream.



"Go away!"



While Dawn was trying to run Buffy off, Tara sighed, and lowered her head as her stomach growled quickly followed by Xander's. "I'm hungry."



"I know the feeling," Tara said in a low voice, "But at least Dawn isn't over here."



"Yeah, hopefully Buffy'll hit the right button to set us free."



Up in the dining room Hallie sat at the table with Faith, both girls glanced around, "Where did everybody go?" Hallie asked sadly and heard her stomach growl, soon followed by Faith's. "Will you go and get them?" the little princess asked.



"What, and go into that lab? I don't think so." Faith shook her head, "First Anya disappeares, then Tara and Xander, and now Buffy, no way am I gonna be next! God only knows what Dawn's done to them, or is doing to them."



It was a few minutes later that Willow fazed down from the rafters when she saw Anya step out of the lab, and saw Hallie and Faith run over. "Did you see the others?" Hallie asked as she looked up at her sister.



"No." Anya said, and quickly glanced at Willow before both girls nearly ripped the lab door off to get inside. If Tara and Xander were down there, they were possibly in trouble by a certain brown haired scientist. Faith picked the little princess up, thinking that if she had the young girl, Dawn might leave her alone, and followed.



After five minutes of searching for their loves, Willow and Anya ran down the stairs, and ran straight into a wall, and saw a door appear. Willow opened the door, and heard Tara's frightened scream followed by Xander's. Barging into the room they ran into Buffy who had been bolting toward the door; Faith hurriedly covered Hallie's eyes and backed out of the room with her lover hot on her tail.



Tara and Xander appeared, happy that Buffy had indeed hit the button to release them, but was running for their lives, and saw Willow and Anya. The siblings hid behind the two girls, and peeked over their shoulders as Dawn come running toward them. "Why is Tara half naked?" Willow asked in a calm, but scary voice.



"Yes, please tell me why Xander is also in the same state." Anya said just as calmly, causing the scientist to back away.



"I was just testing them." Dawn giggled, and disappeared though a portal that had appeared behind her.



Willow clenched her fist, "I'll get her." she growled, and turned to Tara, "Did she hurt you?" Willow asked wrapping Tara in her arms, and saw Anya leading Xander out of the lab.



"N-No, I-I'm fine."



"Good, now let's get you back upstairs, and get you dressed." Willow picked Tara up, and began floating out of the lab.

Chapter Ninteen: Setting Plans Into Motion



The lab door closed behind the group of four, and disappeared as they stepped into the main part of the lab, never noticing Dawn watching from atop the pipes above them. Anya was trying to help Xander walk, and at the same time run her hands over his body -looking for marks or wounds- is what she'd said.



"Are you all right? Did she hurt you? Did she touch you in any place she shouldn't be touching you?" Anya asked as they exited the lab and hurried through the house. Xander only shook his head and entered his room, with the princess right behind him.



Tara was worried. And she was growing more worried by the second. Willow hadn't said a word since leaving the lab, she only kept her in a firm, but gentle grip and floated up to Tara's room. Willow fazed them both through the door, and sat Tara down on her bed before turning and getting a shirt and pants from the closet.



"Here, baby, you need to get dressed." The demon said, and turned around while Tara got dressed.



As Tara pulled the white shirt over her head, she couldn't help but smile; Willow wasn't acting at all like she normally did, and Tara found that strange, but nonetheless sweet. "Umm, Willow, could y-you get m-my boots for me?" She saw Willow nod, "They're in the closet."



"Okay." Willow replied as she kept her back turned, and picked up the pair of worn black boots, "Can I turn around?"



"Yes, Willow, you can." Tara smiled and took the boots when Willow handed them to her, "Thank you."



"No problem." Willow crossed her legs and floated in the air, "Tara, what was Dawn doing?"



Tara's head shot up, that wasn't a very good question for Willow to ask. She knew what would happen when she told her what Dawn had been up to, and lowered her head, "Nothing really." she whispered, and didn't see the look of sadness cross Willow's face, before it was replaced with a mask of stone.



"Tara, what was she up to?" Willow asked again, but this time it was more forceful, and Tara could tell Willow wouldn't be blown off. Now what was she going to tell her? She really didn't know what Dawn had wanted from her in the first place. And she didn't think Willow was going to believe that, or she would, and she'd go nuts.



"W-Well s-she j-j-just..." Tara stuttered, and to Willow that told her all she needed to know, Tara only stuttered when she was nervous, or scared. And it hurt her, why would Tara be nervous around her, or even scared. Tara should know she wouldn't hurt her, but it was probably because she was thinking about what Dawn had done. So she just stayed where she was, and kept her mouth shut, and waited, figuring that Tara would tell her if she gave her enough time.



Tara glanced up before she stared at her boots, and sighed, might as well get it over with, "She w-was just t-testing us..."



"What! A sperm sample?!" Anya's scream drifted into the room thus causing Tara's head to shoot up, and Willow's eyes to narrow.



"Tara?" Willow asked in a low voice, and it scared Tara. "She tried that with Xander? What did she do to you?"



"Nothing. Buffy i-interrupted j-just as s-she g-got to Xander."



Willow took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly -very slowly- as she kneeled in front of Tara, and cupped her cheek, "If she hurt you would you tell me?" she asked carressing Tara's cheek with her thumb.



Tara nodded, even though she wouldn't want to, she would, "Yes, Will, I would tell you."



She called me Will...but this is no time to be thinking about nicknames. What the hell did Dawn want from Tara? If she wanted a sperm sample from Xander, what could she get from Tara? Wait a minute! "Tara, tell me, how was she gonna get that, umm, sperm sample from Xander?"



Tara blushed, and mumbled something quietly, but it wasn't quiet enough for Willow not to hear. "Thought so." Dammit! Was she going to do something like that to Tara? I'd better not catch her trying to touch my Tara! As for what she did, I'll get her back! But how?



As Willow let her mind drift, Tara watched her, actually it was more like she studied the girl kneeling in front of her. Willow's face had turned red, and Tara didn't think it was from embarrassment, no, she knew it was from anger. Her jade green eyes had turned into liquid fire, and her breathing had deepened. Tara knew Willow was pissed, and for a good reason, but it still caused her heart to beat faster, an angry Willow was best to stay away from. "Willow?"



The demon jolted from her thoughts when she heard Tara whisper her name, "Yes?"



"Are you...do... What are you thinking about?"



Willow slid her hand down Tara's cheek, and let it rest on her shoulder, "Nothing, don't worry about it." she said and leaned in and left a soft kiss where her hand had been, "Everything will be fine."



"Willow! Get your demon ass out here now!" Anya shouted, and squeeked when Willow fazed in front of her.



"What do you want, Princess?" Willow asked in a bored tone and saw Xander peeking around the doorframe, before she was drug into the bathroom. "Will you stop that!"



"Look, Dawn tried to get sperm from my soon-to-be lover, and I don't like it!" Anya puffed out a breath as she leaned against the wall.



"Yeah, Tara said she didn't get to her, and we have Buffy to thank. If it weren't for her just showing up, Dawn woulda gotten a lot more than we would ever want her to either see, or feel."



"You said you'd get back at her, and I want in on it." Anya straightened up, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"



Willow smirked, "You see, I was thinking about that as I carried Tara to her room. Just follow my lead when we have breakfast, and you'll find out."



"Okay, but I hope it's good."



"It is, don't you worry, it is."



Tara and Xander watched the two girls disappeared down the stairs and sighed, they had heard what was said between the two, and were worried. Whatever Willow had planned was sure to piss the scientist off but good, and they really didn't want to be around when everything went straight down the toilet.



Fifteent minutes later everyone was finally sitting down at the table to enjoy their breakfast, although enjoying it might be saying a little too much. Buffy was trying to merge herself with Faith after Dawn had sent a glare that would have actually caused the dead to blush; Faith was sending her own glares at the scientist, and not really caring one way or the other about what she thought. As long as she didn't go into the lab, she was safe...or at least that's what she thought, and had no way of knowing that if Dawn wanted something from you, she'd get it!



Tara and Xander were at one end of the table -sitting between Anya and Willow- and keeping their eyes off of Dawn. Hallie being the sweetest person, or in Xander's opinion the bravest, was sitting next to Dawn, and smiling happily that everyone was finally there. Halfway through breakfast Willow stood and stretched with a soft smile at Hallie, "That was good!"



Hallie giggled, and blushed, "Thank you, Willow."



"Well, Princess, would you like to take a walk with me?" Willow turned, and set her 'Follow-my-lead' gaze on Anya.



"Yes, it's such a lovely day." Anya stood, "Thank you for the wonderful meal, Hallie."



The group watched the two girls disappear through the door, and shrugged, at least they weren't fighting, everyone thought before they went back to eating. Little did they know; Willow had fazed her and Anya through the wall, and snuck into the lab. "Now, Princess." She smirked, "Let's do some damage."



Anya laughed like a maniac, "Yes, let's." she agreed and ran over to a large cage where a huge octopus-looking monster growled at her. It's red eyes glowing from the shadows, and white sharp and pointy teeth dripping drool all over the floor. Anya released the lock, "Have fun." she giggled and hurried toward another cage with a six-foot wide, and eight-foot tall purple beast with horns. Once more she ran toward a cage with a dozen small orange and black snakes, and released the lock.



Willow let the smirk turn into an evil smile as she released the lock on a cage of twenty or so small but slime-covered slug-looking creatures. "Go, enjoy your freedom." she laughed, and ran toward another cage with four half-gator, half-man demons, they growled as she neared the lock, and watched as she released it. She unlocked the cage holding several light green frogs, and hurried off before they could get out. Truth be told, Willow hated frogs!



Five minutes later she meet Anya in the center of the room, and lifted her up just as the octopus creature slittered over. "What do you think, Princess?"



Anya glanced at Willow, and burst out laughing as the monsters began destroying the cages they had been trapped in, and the machines, and the lab equipment. "Well, this should keep her busy for a while."



"Yeah, it should, so let's go before she comes back." Willow said fazing to the lab door, and slipped out with Anya right behind her. Willow then grabbed Anya's hand, and fazed her outside just as Dawn rounded the corner, and slipped into the lab. A very loud, and very long scream echoed out of the lab -shaking the Maclay house, and scaring the hell out of everyone inside- and even reached Nikko's home. The old woman looked up from sipping her coffee, "Hmm, those girls must be having fun." she said to herself and shrugged.



It was now an hour after breakfast, and Dawn was still running around her lab trying to re-catch all of the test subjects that had somehow gotten loose. She still couldn't figure it out, and with her the self proclaimed 'Number One Genius Scientist in the Universe' it was just down right wrong!



A glob of slime fell from the ceiling, and landed on her shoulder -well, it was more like it covered her entire head, and both shoulders- glancing up she saw one of the slug-like creatures staring down at her, and did what any young girl would do -when faced with something that size- she screamed.



What Willow didn't know, was that the creatures had to be kept in a stable enviroment, if not they would begin to grow. And the one's she'd released an hour eariler had grown, large, very large, if she saw them now, she wouldn't think they were the same creature. All of them were now at the very least, twelve-foot round, and nine-foot long, and the slime fell off of them in ten pound globs. Dawn ran when the now 600 pound creature dropped from the ceiling where she'd had just been standing.



Another thing Willow didn't know was that the slug creatures were also carnivorous, and Dawn, at that very moment, looked like a great snack. The scientist heard a wet smack and turned to see a large fifteen-foot tall frog, and said frog was snacking on the slug. After having been released; the frogs and small snakes had gotten into a new invention of Dawn's it was something like Miracle Gro, but was still untested...looks like it just got tested. Another house-shaking scream was heard when Dawn ran into a twenty-foot long snake.



Away from the chaos that was the lab, Tara was sweeping the walkway leading to the stairs, and sighed with she heard Dawn's scream. Tara didn't know what had happened in the lab, and seeing as how the whole house had heard Dawn's cussing about escaped test subjects, she really didn't want to know. But how did they get out in the first place? And would she and the others perhaps see any of said subjects? That was another thing she didn't know, and it was also something else she didn't want to know...or see.



After having a good laugh at Dawn's expence; Willow had told Anya what to read, and left to read her own comic, "I don't get it." she whispered as she closed the comic, and floated down off the rafters, "But if that's what Earthlings do, then I'll follow the book."



Hallie was sitting on the floor, and teasing Miss Kitty with a carrot when she saw Willow walking toward the sliding glass doors, and giggled, "Let's go watch." she whispered to the kitten and ran over to the door.



Willow fazed through the glass, and stiffly walked toward Tara -who had her back to the demon- and ran into her, causing them both to fall to the ground. Willow quickly got up, and hurried over to Tara, "Oh, I'm sorry, are you all right?" she asked in a soft but sugar-laced voice as she kneeled down.



"What?" Tara asked sucking in the breath that had been knocked out of her as she rose up on her knees, " Willow, what's the idea?"



"I wasn't paying attention." Willow smiled covering her right cheek with her hand, "I'm so clumsy." she said tapping her fist to her head.



"Uh." Tara's mouth dropped to the ground, what the hell was wrong with Willow?



"I'm Willow." The demon introduced herself, "How do you do?" she then lowered her head, covering her face with her hands, "This is so embarrassing."



Inside Hallie had her hands pressed to the glass as she watched the scene outside, "What's going on?" Anya asked as she stared outside. Oh, that monster woman is starting her plan. she thought and joined her sister in watching.



"Can I ask your name?" Willow peeked through her fingers.



Tara's jaw was still on the ground, but now her eye were wide and round, "Huh?" shaking her head clear Tara lunged forward grabbing Willow's shoulders, "Willow, are you sick? What's the matter?" she quickly asked in a worried tone.



Willow looked at the hands on her shoulder, and shoved Tara away as she made herself blush, "Ohh... You are a bold one, aren't you, Tara?"



Tara sat up ten-foot away and stared at Willow with wide eyes, "What's wrong with you?!"



"Willow, your face is all red." Buffy said as she ran over, "Do you have a cold?"



"Go away." Willow whispered through her teeth, "I'm at the important part."



Buffy straightened up crossing her arms, "I have a really good cold medicine."



"I don't want it."



"Sure you do." Buffy said perkily and grabbed Willow's arm, "The key is to cure it early."



"Hey, let go!" Willow shouted as Buffy began pulling her toward the house.



"You're acting like a child." Buffy stated as Willow fought with her. Neither girl saw Tara watching them with wide eyes as Buffy pulled Willow into the house.



Don't think her plan went exactly like she wanted. Anya thought as she followed the girls up the stairs, and turned into the library where twenty large ten-foot long bookcases stood almost as tall as the ceiling filled with comics. Anya sighed and grabbed a stack to begin reading.



Five minutes later Willow ran into the library -having gotten away from Buffy who'd tried to shove several cold pills down her throat- and sighed, as she made her way toward the back of the room to avoid any fights with Anya. She had better things to do, like reading on how to get Tara to love her since the first try was ruined by Buffy.



Anya closed the comic she was reading, and smiled, "I see." she whispered to herself, and hurried out of the room.



It wasn't thirty minutes later that Xander was walking up the steps leading to Nikko's home with a broom resting on his shoulder, and didn't see the rope being pulled taut causing him to fall on his face. "Are you all right?" Anya asked jumping out of the bushes, and kneeling in front of him. "Oh, no! You're hurt. Please use this."



"Huh?" Xander looked at his hands, he wasn't hurt. The fall hadn't been that bad.



Anya cupped his left hand in hers as she handed him a small piece of cloth from her robe, "Don't worry about getting it dirty." She paused and quickly jerked her hands back, and covered her mouth as if she were embarrassed, "Excuse me." she turned and hurried down the steps, and turned. "My name is Anya." she smiled and turned to leave again, walked three steps, turned and waved, "Remember, it's Anya."



Xander watched the princess go with wide eyes -still holding his left hand out- and raised his left leg, where he saw the rope wrapped around his ankle. "What just happened?" he mumbled as he stood, and walked up the rest of the stairs to meet with Tara, and sweep the courtyard.



Nikko finished off the tea she was drinking, and looked out the open door only to see Adam and Oz standing near the steps. Stepping outside the woman sat down on the porch, "Tara, Xander, come over here."



"What is it, grams?" Tara asked as she and Xander sat on the bottom step.



"What are those girls doing over there?" Nikko glanced at the guardians, while her two grandchildren studied them. Willow was behind Oz, and Anya was behind Adam, and both were watching the siblings. "Are they playing some sort of a game, or something?"



"I really don't know." Xander shook his head with a sigh.



"Hey, girls, why don't you come over and join us?" Nikko called out, surprising Willow and Anya.



Anya straightened up, "Girls? What girls?" she asked herself, and clenched her fists as she looked over at Oz. "How dare you use my guardian without my premission!" the princess spoke in her regal tone.



"Me? You're the one who's copying me!" Willow shot back.



"This is getting me no where. Let us leave."



"Yes, ma'am." The guardians said and turned.



"Thanks for your help." Willow told Oz as she floated into the air.



"You're welcome." Oz said as he followed Anya down the stairs.



Tara shook her head, "Willow's been acting weird all morning, and Xander said the same about Anya."



"Got that right! She tripped me with a rope, and then pretended she didn't know me!"



"Well, at least she didn't run into you, and then shove you away. Just let me tell you, Willow has one hell of a shove."



Nikko hid her smile and crossed her arms, "Just spring fever."



Back at the house Willow and Anya had re-entered the libaray and went to seprate sections. Hallie giggled as she peeked in the room, and saw her sister sitting between four stacks of -at least- thirty comics high, and still reading. Willow was the same, although she was floating with her legs crossed as she read book after book, and had a pile of comics four shelves high.



"That's it!" Anya smiled, and began daydreaming.



"Ah, my Xander..." Anya was kneeling in the middle of a field of flowers on Jurai, and holding a brown and green striped sweeter she'd knitted.



"Yes, Anya, what is it?" Xander asked as he turned around, wearing a white Juraian suit.



Anya rose, and slowly approached the boy, holding the sweeter out, "I made this for you, Xander." she stopped just a few inches away, "I do hope you like it."



"For me?"



"Yes." Anya nodded, and blushed as Xander wrapped her in a hug.



"I love it."



Anya was giggling as she held the knitting needles, and had eight balls of yarn in a pile next to her. She screamed when she opened her eyes, "What have I done?!" The sweeter was the right size for Xander, but only if he grew another four or five feet tall.



Tara was sitting at the table slowly eating a piece of chicken, as Willow watch on with hope-filled eyes. The demon leaned in just a fraction when she saw Tara glance at her, "This is good."



"Really?" Willow asked and hugged Tara, "I'm so happy."



Willow was in the kitchen baking a cake, and laughed as she stired a pot of stew, and sipped some of the juice, "I can't tell a thing. But it's not like I've cook before either." Willow saw Miss Kitty hunting for a carrot and picked her up placing her on the counter, and shoved a small bowl in front of the kitten. Miss Kitty looked at the stew, and up at Willow. It was almost as if she didn't want to eat it, even if it did have carrots in it.



"Go on, taste it." Willow urged, and smiled when the kitten took a lick, but frowned when Miss Kitty fell off the counter, and landed on the floor with a soft growl, "Oh, my. Maybe the cake will be better" Willow said pouring the bowl of stew down the drain, "Back to work on the stew." she didn't see Miss Kitty bolt from the kitchen, planning on not returning until Willow was away from the stove.



"Wonder what's missing." Willow said to herself as she poured a bottle of soy sauce in the pot, and then grabbed the salt and pepper shakers. Getting fed up with having to shake them, she took the tops off, and poured the contents in. "All I have to say is, it's for love." she said as she kept stirring, she gave up when the stew turned a greenish brown, and began boiling over.



Taking the cake from the oven, Willow smiled, "Now that looks good." she said as she placed it on the counter.



If anyone would have seen the cake, they would have wondered what she meant by "That looks good", especially seeing as how the cake was black. But the black wasn't from being burned, it was just plain black. And it also had something else a regular cake doesn't, green slime. The green slime was seeping out of the top, and the sides. It blinked.



Willow slowly backed away, "Umm... I don't think it's suppose to do that." she mumbled and hurriedly fazed away. If she would have stayed just a moment longer, she would have seen the cake blink twice as it crawled out of the pan.



"What the fuck is that horrible smell?!" Faith shouted as she entered the kitchen, and stopped dead still as the horrible smell worsened. She saw a pot of what looked like green stew, and saw a trail of green slime leading from the kitchen counter to the back door. Although she didn't know it; Willow's cake had made an escape, and crawled off toward the woods, where it was most likely at that very moment, mutating. "Buffy!"



"What?" Buffy asked and covered her nose, "Eww! What the hell is that?"



"Did you try to cook something?" Faith eyed the blonde, "Cause the last time you did, you blew up the oven."



"Something that stinks this bad?! I don't think so!"



"Well, if it wasn't you in here screwing around, then who was it?" Faith asked breathing through her mouth to keep from smelling whatever it was. But she wished she hadn't, the scent had somehow made the air taste bad.



"How would I know?" Buffy asked, and choked on the horrible smelling, and tasting air, "I was with you, remember?"



Hallie chose that very moment to walk into the kitchen, and stumbled back covering her nose, and mouth, "Eww! Who's been in here?!" she shouted, scaring Buffy and causing Faith to jump. The dark haired officer was certainly glad that it wasn't Buffy's fault, and shrugged as she looked down at the small princess.



"It was like that when we got here."



"Yeah, and they should have cleaned up." Buffy poked at the slime covered cake pan, "This is just plain awful! And if this was a cake, where'd it go?"



Xander had decided to take the long way home, and had detoured through the woods just to stay away from Anya for a little longer. He hoped that she wasn't acting strange like she had been a couple of hours eariler, and stopped. Waving his hand in front of his face, Xander frowned. "What the hell is that smell?" he asked, and received no answer. Shrugging he pushed the bushes apart, and grinned, "Ohh! Cake!"



Yes, it was Willow's cake, and yes, it was sitting behind the bushes, but it had expanded. The cake now looked like a double-decker, and it was still covered in slime. Just as Xander reached down to possibily grab a piece; the cake blinked. Xander paused in his reaching and blinked back, when the cake responded to his blink; Xander screamed and ran. Never to return, at least not without Tara, or Willow, or even Anya to protect him!



Back at the house Hallie had called Anya and Willow down to help her, Buffy, Faith, and Tara -who had come in just a few minutes eariler, and nearly had a stroke from the smell- to clean up the mess that was the kitchen. Halfway through cleaning, Xander ran in screaming about a blinking cake. Willow wisely kept her mouth shut, and continued cleaning the green slime from the door, and could only hope to cover the trail before anyone else saw it.

Chapter Twenty: Another Plan



After calming Xander down, it took the group another hour and a half to clean the kitchen, well, it took another hour just to scrape the burnt stew from the stove, and another half hour to finish getting the slime cleaned up.



No one would have guessed that slime could get that hard. But there was one thing they couldn't clean, and that was the smell, even after the kitchen was sparkling the scent was still there.



Willow had hurried off to cover the slime trail left by her cake, and eventually found the thing further into the woods, and threw an energy blast at it. Hoping to have taken care of that little problem; Willow began getting an idea, and grinned. "If I can't get Tara by going by those books, I'll just work on Nikko." she laughed, and began daydreaming.



Grandmother..." Willow said as she sat down in front of Nikko, "I would like to become Tara's bride, and build a family with her. Please help me."



Nikko smiled, "You've been thinking of the future, and I like that. All right, you have my blessing."



Willow giggled as she floated toward the woman's house, "Piece of cake...well not my cake anyway!" she said to herself, and stopped, quickly fazing into the ground with only the top of her head, and eyes showing. She saw Buffy sweeping the courtyard, and Nikko watching with a grin.



"You're such a hard-working young lady." Nikko spoke causing Buffy to smile.



"Thank you, but I must do something in return for your kindness toward me and Faith."



Nikko spotted Willow's red hair just above ground level, and hid a smile, "Tell me something, Buffy, would you like to be Tara's girlfriend?"



"Well, Faith is my girlfriend." Buffy smiled, and ducked her head when she saw Faith approaching. "I don't think she'd like that."



"Faith can be Xander's girlfriend." Nikko kept her eyes on Willow, and saw her move through the ground, away from the courtyard.



"Faith is Buffy's girlfriend. And Faith doesn't want Xander." Faith said to the older woman as she wrapped her left arm around Buffy's waist.



"Okay then, that's all I wanted to hear." Nikko rose from the porch step she was sitting on, and moved inside the small house. That should kick Willow into gear.



Back at the house Anya was kneeling on the floor, and holding a letter to her chest as she looked down at Miss Kitty, "Understand? You must deliver this letter to Xander." she said holding the paper out to the kitten, "Then, I'll give you some carrots without anyone knowing, okay?"



Miss Kitty meowed happily grabbing the letting with her teeth, and bolted toward the door slamming in to it. Backing up the kitten jumped toward the door, and fazed through, "Now, I need to get ready." Anya said and hurried out the door.



Miss Kitty once again slammed into a door, before she fazed through, and into Xander's room. The boy smiled, and picked her up, "You're a clumsy thing, are you?" he asked as the kitten dropped the letter, and began struggling in his hands. Xander let her go, and watched as she fazed through the door; the kitten made haste back to Anya's room, and began meowed sadly when she saw that Anya wasn't inside.



Back in Xander's room the boy was reading the letter and sighed, "There's something I wish to discuss with you. I'll wait for you at the shrine of Tsunami after school." he read, and shook his head, "After school? What is she talking about? The school hasn't been rebuilt yet! And she doesn't even go to school! And why grams' house? That isn't a shrine anymore."



Tara slowly descended the stairs, after having to change her cloths -even that horrible scent had clung to clothing- and started outside when Hallie stopped her. "Tara, could you go get me some vegetables for dinner?"



"Yeah, sure." Tara nodded, and turned to leave through the back door.



"Thank you, Tara. I would, but I can't get away right now." The little princess said hurrying back into the kitchen.



"No problem." Tara smiled as the passed through the kitchen, and out the back door to the small shed. When she opened the door, she saw several small shadows hurry back into the darkness.



Tara slowly stepped in, and reached for the light switch. Flipping it on she glanced around the room, ready for anything, and straightened up, "Miss Kitty, is that you?" she asked when she saw nothing wrong, and approached the carrot baskets. "What?! They're all empty!"



Xander hurried into the shed ready for a fight, "What's wrong?" he asked stopping beside his sister, "No way!" he gaped. The six baskets of carrots were now completely empty, "This can't be happening!" he mumbled and jumped at the same time Tara did. Something fell to the floor behind the siblings, causing them to turn.



"I knew it!" Tara shouted, "It is Miss Kitty!" she said, and fell back in shock what looked like fifty or so Miss Kittys.



"Damn!" Xander's jaw hit the floor. The small walkway above the door was full of Miss Kittys, as was the wooden support beam near the door.



"Tara? Xander?" Dawn stepped into the shed after hearing Tara's shout, and saw both siblings point behind her, "Oh, so this is the reason for the weird energy reaction." Dawn said as she turned and clapped her hands together a couple of times, "Come on, back to the pond."



One of the kittens on the support beam dropped the carrot in her mouth, and meowed sadly as her eyes grew large, and sparkled with unshed tears. Tara sighed as she lowered her hand, "All right then... But only one for each of you."



Two kittens hopped down and stood in front of the carrots, and meowed happily as they picked the vegetable up before following the others out the door.



"Tara, don't you have those vegetables yet?" Hallie asked opening the back door, and ran out, "Wow! So many Miss Kittys." she smiled as the kittens flew by her, and turned into crystals before returning back to the lake.



Tara and Xander watched the crystals disappear into the lake and shook their heads, "Well, sis, looks like its back to work."



"Yeah, back to the fields." Tara agreed picking up a basket, and a hoe, "Well, let's get to work."



It was growing dark by the time Tara and Xander returned from the fields, dead tired, and was ready for one of Hallie's meals. Glancing around the table the little princess frowned, "Where's my sister?"



Xander's eyes went wide, "Umm, I think she's up at grams' house."



"Willow, would you go up and get here?"



Willow looked up at Hallie, and couldn't resist the sweet look she was giving her, "Sure, I'll go get her." Willow fazed away.



Up at Nikko's house Anya was standing by the steps holding her hands in front of her, "Isn't it after school yet?" she asked herself and nearly died of a stroke when Willow appeared in front of her.



"Come on, Princess. Hallie's got supper ready." Willow said as she grabbed Anya's arm, and faze back to the house -once again scaring Xander as she appeared next to him.



Dawn hurried back into the lab after thanking Hallie for the wonderful dinner, and was hoping to find out how her test subjects got loose. She still hadn't found one of the slugs, and was hoping that a frog, or snake had had it for a snack. She didn't need another 600 pound surprise dropping from the ceiling.



After helping Hallie wash the dishes, Tara had sat down to watch the nightly news, well, she wanted to know the weather for the next day, but fell asleep halfway through. Willow smiled down from the rafters and shook her head before fazing next to the sleeping girl. Willow wrapped her arms around her waist, an fazed them both to Tara's room. "Willow?" Tara whispered opening her eyes.



"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." Willow smiled, "I'll leave now." she said and fazed away, leaving Tara confused.



Why didn't Willow try to seduce her? Or at least try to help her undress? Willow had been acting weird, even for her! Tara didn't know what was going on, but she figured she'd eventually find out, and she really wasn't sure if she wanted to know. Sighing Tara shook her head to clear it before rising to grab her night shirt, and boxers.



Anya had followed her sister into their room, and waited until the little girl fell into a peaceful sleep before she slipped out of the room, and into Xander's. The princess quietly shut the door and sat in Xander's desk chair to watch over the boy as he slept.



Does he love me? Can he love me? To him I'm nothing more than an alien from another world, but he is also part of that world, he is after all Kairi's grandson. Kairi said we'd make a good match, but is that what he wants? Would he like to become my husband, and return to Jurai with me? No, I don't think he'd want to leave his home, I am sure he had many friends here.



Anya sighed, just before she fell asleep, and didn't feel strong arms pick her up, and place her in a soft bed. Xander smiled and shook his head as he lay down beside the princess. If she insisted on watching over him, well, he was going to at least let her be comfortable.



Willow had fazed back into the living room onto the rafters, and waited an hour before quietly fazing back into Tara's room, where she floated in the air with her legs crossed. Tara looked like a sleeping angel, causing Willow to smile softly as she watched Tara's chest rise and fall with each breath she took.



Why doesn't she love me? Am I so much like a demon that she can't love me? Does she really think I'm a demon? I hate that legend! I'm not a demon, I was just being used by Glory. She's the one who made me do all those evil things I did. If Tara knew everything I did under Glory's control, she'd run to the hills screaming. Damn, she's even part Juraian! And royal Juraian at that! How could she love me?



As Willow thought, she didn't notice as she slowly floated down to the floor, where she fell into a deep sleep. The only other thing she hadn't noticed was Tara had been watching her, and rose from the bed after she'd landed on the floor.



"What am I going to do with you?" Tara whispered as she gently picked Willow up, and placed her in the bed before wrapping her arms around the girls waist as she lay beside her. "Good night, Will." Tara left a soft kiss on Willow's forehead, and fell asleep with the demon in her arms.



Something felt odd, but Willow couldn't place the feeling. She must have fell alseep sometime last night, but when? Why did the floor feel soft as a bed? And just where was the warm breathe on her neck coming from? Did Miss Kitty sneak into the room last night, and curl up beside her head? It couldn't be the kitten; Miss Kitty didn't breathe that deep, and if it wasn't her, who was it?



Willow opened her eyes, and found herself staring at the ceiling, and also felt a warm weight on her stomach. Quirking her eyebrows the demon slowly turned her head to the left, and came face to face with a sleeping Tara, and did the one thing she could think of. She began to panic.



Oh, damn! Tara's going to be angry I'm in her bed! How did I get into her bed in the first place? This isn't good, not good at all...but it feels so good. Her hand lying across my stomach, the heat from her body. Stop that! I can't be thinking of how good it feels! I gotta get outta here before she wakes!



"Willow." Tara mumbled half awake.



Oh, shit! Too late! I got to leave now! Willow thought in more of a panic than before, and quickly fazed away just as Tara opened her eyes.



"Will?" Tara yawned as she sat up, "Willow?" the girl hung her head, and sighed. Why did she run off...? Oh, damn. Tara you moron! She couldn't remember how she got into the bed, and thought I'd be angry. I'll have to find her, and tell her that I was the one who put her in my bed.



"Sis, you awake?" Xander knocked on her door, and cracked it open a inch, not wanting to see anything he shouldn't.



"Yeah, Xan, I'm awake." Tara's sleepy voice answered, "You can come in."



Xander stepped into the room wearing only his boxers with a smiling cupcake on them, and quitely shut the door behind him, "I'm guessing you haven't seen Anya this morning, have you?" he asked as he sat next to Tara.



"Nope, what happened?"



"Well, last night she fell asleep watching me, and I put her in my bed. And when I woke up she was gone."



"Yeah, Willow bolted just as I was waking up...I did the same thing you did."



Xander rested in head in his hands, "What's up with them leaving like that? I mean...I thought they wanted to be in our beds."



"I was thinking about that, they couldn't remember how they got into our beds, and probably thought we'd be mad at them." Tara explained, and saw her brother nod.



"You're right, guess I'll have to find Anya and tell her what I did."



Tara agreed, "Yep, that's what I'm going to do with Will...when I find her, that is." Xander stood, leaving Tara to get dressed in peace.



In the floating bath over the pond, Willow sat in one section, while Anya sat in another. I can't believe Xander never showed up, and Willow of all people had to come up and get me! But if he doesn't care for me, then why did I wake up next to him? He must have some feelings for me. Anya thought as her eyes slowly closed; the warm water relaxing her body. The princess sunk down in the water as she dozed, and quickly rose a few seconds later coughing up water.



Willow had been leaning back when her hands behind her head, and cut her eyes over to Anya's section when she heard the coughing, "Now I'm falling asleep in the water!" Anya growled just before she screamed when freezing water was poured over her head.



"Did that wake you up, Princess?" Willow smirked as she floated a few feet above Anya, and holding a small bucket.



Anya had her arms crossed over her chest as she shivered, and glared up at Willow, "You nearly froze me to death!"



A few minutes later both girls were sitting in front of a small waterfall as they soaped themselves up, "Don't you think there are too many people in the way..." Willow suddenly asked, having remembered what Nikko said to Buffy the day before, "Like Buffy, Faith and possibly Dawn?" she cut her eyes toward the princess.



"On that issue, I agree with you." Anya nodded as she glanced over, and stuck her hand out.



"All right, then." Willow smirked as she grabbed Anya's hand and squeezed, both girls quicly pulled back, an began soaping their bodies. "Okay, we can create a force field and lock Dawn inside the lab, and then we'll make Buffy and Faith go back to the Galaxy Police Headquarters for a while."



"You're so devious, aren't you?" Anya smirked, and laughed.



Earth-style or whatever, after all, we're both humanoid types. What we want has got to be the same thing. Willow thought as she scrubbed more soap on her body.



I'll wash, and present myself to Xander in this beautiful skin, and he'll say "Anya, you're so beautiful."



Willow smirked as she stared forward, No need to be afraid, just wait and see. Tara'll be mine before the night is over.



Both girls began giggling as they thought never noticing that the soap on their bodies would be enough to soap everyone in the house. They stopped giggling as they glanced at one another, and let out full blown laughter before washing off.



*********

There's 20 and I'm working on 21 at the moment...and I hope to have that one out tomorrow. Hope ya enjoyed

To be forgotten is worse than death.

[Egnalos]

It's so funny to see how Willow and Anya plot to win Tara and Xander's love inspiring themselves in comic books hehe, somehow it makes them look really innocent.



And Nikko trying to provoke reaction from Willow asking Buffy if she'll be Tara's girlfriend



If Willow and Anya wouldn't have ran away when they woke up they would found out that their feelings are reciprocated and Tara and Xander care for them just as much.



Great chapter, more please.
