Double Take
BY: Sparky
Willow and Tara were sitting on Willow’s bed; a variety of magic books are scattered around the room. The two are deeply involved in the books in front of them, while Amy played in her cage.
“How about this one?” Willow asked holding the book so Tara could see the spell.
“That may work,” she said, her head tilted to the side as she tried to read the entire spell. “It doesn’t look like it would hurt to try.”
“All right, I’ll go to the Magic Shop after class and maybe we could try the spell tonight?” Willow asked, “and since we don’t have class tomorrow you could sleep over?”
“I see where this is going.” Tara teased.
“Where what’s going? There is defiantly a nothing going anywhere here. It was just a suggestion. The spell could take a while and I don’t want you walking back to your dorm in the dangerous night with out me to protect you because who knows what is lurching out there, and… ” Willow babbled.
“Sweetie, I was just kidding.” Tara smiled as she placed a kiss on Willow’s forehead.
“I don’t always think about sex.” Willow pouted.
“Right,” Tara giggled as she poked Willow in her side.
“Hey, no tickling!” Willow squirmed, “You know where tickles lead to and we have class soon, and how dare you say that all I think about is sex!”
Willow quietly snuck into class and sat next to Buffy who was busy doodling in her notebook.
“Lose track of time there Wil?” Buffy smiled.
“Yeah, I was busy, er going over my notes.” Willow said, “What did I miss?”
“I took notes for…well I began to take notes.” Buffy said looking down at the doodles all over her notebook, “I don’t think it was important.”
“It’s all right, I’ve already read this chapter last week.” Willow said.
“Hey whatcha doing after class?” Buffy asked.
“I need to stop at the Magic Shop for some stuff, why?” Willow asked.
“Just wondering.” Buffy said quietly.
“Why do you say it like that?” Willow asked.
“Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to go out to lunch.” Buffy said, “I haven’t been spending enough quality time with my best friend.”
“We could get a bite to eat, and check out the Magic Shop after.” Willow smiled.
“Are you sure, I mean it won’t mess up your day?” Buffy asked.
“No, besides we have been lacking on the best friend quality time thing lately.”
“So what do you need from the Magic Shop?” Buffy asked.
“Some stuff for a spell that will hopefully turn Amy back into a human.” Willow smiled.
“You think it will work?” Buffy asked as the professor finished her lecture.
“I hope.” Willow said getting up to leave the classroom, “So what’s for lunch? I’m starving.”
“We could go to that little café.” Buffy said.
“Sounds good to me.” Willow said.
Giles was standing behind the counter counting the register while Anya was helping a customer over by the candles. He looked up as the bell chimed to see Buffy and Willow walk in.
“Hey Giles.” Buffy said walking over to the counter as willow browsed the shelves.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing, why?” Buffy asked, “Wil and I just came from lunch and she needed to pick up a few things. Her and Tara are doing a spell.”
“I bet,” Anya snorted walking behind the counter.
“I see that you’ve been practicing on that tact, haven’t you Anya.” He said.
“I have tact! I have plenty of tact! It’s not like you all don’t think the same way I do.” She huffed.
“We might, but we choose not to say everything that goes through our mind.” He smiled walking into the back room.
“It’s okay for them to talk about spells, but when Xander and I do we get hushed.”
“You and Xander talk about sex, Anya.” Buffy said.
“And like spells isn’t a their term for sex.” Anya stated before ringing up a customer. “Did you want to buy anything else? Your money is much appreciated.”
Buffy sat there for a minute thinking about what Anya had said, but then scolded herself for thinking of Willow like that. Willow was her best friend; she would have told Buffy if she was having sex with Tara. No wait, she wouldn’t.
“All set?” Buffy asked Willow as she walked over to the counter.
“Yep, got all the stuff we need.” Willow smiled.
“For your spells?” Anya asked, “Whatcha got there?”
“Some books, incense, a few candles, and…”
“And some oils.” Anya finished looking directly at Buffy, “What are the oils for?” she asked innocently.
“We have to anoint Amy before we do the ritual.” Willow said.
“Uh-huh,” Anya looked at Buffy then back at Willow and smiled. Buffy looked at Anya, then in Willow’s basket, and then up at Willow.
“What?” Willow asked.
“Nothing.” Buffy said.
“Do you do these kinds of spells often?” Anya asked.
“No not really,” Willow said.
“What kind do you do then?” Anya asked.
“Anya!” Buffy said finally, “Just ring her up. Enough with twenty questions.”
“Like you aren’t interested.” Anya huffed.
“I’m going to stay and work out for a while.” Buffy said.
“Okay, thanks for lunch. I’ll see you tomorrow with the results of the spell.”
“I bet you will.” Anya smiled.
Willow just looked at the two of them confused. Buffy shot Anya an evil look as Willow left.
“What are you two talking about?” Giles asked taking a sip of his tea.
“Willow’s going to have sex with Tara tonight.” Anya blurted.
Giles spit out his tea and began to choke, “I beg your pardon?”
“No. Willow’s doing a spell tonight to de-rat Amy.” Buffy said.
“Fine believe what you want.” Anya said before walking away.
Willow prepared her room for the spell. She had Amy’s cage on the floor next to a small circle, and the candles were placed accordingly around the room. A half hour later Tara knocked on Willow’s door.
“Hey you,” Willow smiled, “I’ve been waiting.”
“Are we all set?” Tara asked.
“Yep. Ready when you are.” Willow said leading her over to the circle on the floor. “Are you ready Amy?”
The rat just squeaked as it played in its wheel. Tara sat down outside the circle as Willow lit the candles and the incense. After she sat down facing Tara she took the oil and anointed Amy’s head. She took Tara’s hands and was about to begin chanting, but stopped and opened Amy’s cage.
“We should take her out of the cage.” Willow said, “We don’t want her turning human in there.”
She placed Amy in the center of the circle and took Tara’s hands into her. They closed their eyes and began to chant. Amy slowly crawled outside the circle and began to explore the open terrain, and at the same time Tara’s left foot had accedently crossed over the circle. As they finished the spell a strange gust of wind filled the room blowing out the candles. The wind startled the rat so it scurried back to the circle.
Willow opened her eyes and looked down.
“Darn.” she sighed, “ It didn’t work.”
Tara picked Amy up and put her back in the cage. “Oh well, back to looking for a cure.”
Willow began to put everything away, starting with the candles. They decided to leave the incense burning while they got ready for bed.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come over sooner. Maybe if we had more time.” Tara said brushing her teeth.
“It’s not your fault. We’re probably just tired, we could try again tomorrow.” Willow said walking up behind her and wrapping her arms around her waist. “I’m glad you came over.”
“Me too,” she smiled leaning back against Willow. “I missed you today.”
“We could continue what you started this morning.” Willow smirked.
“Maybe, or we could just cuddle in bed.” Tara smiled, “and don’t even think of blaming me on this morning. You should be …stronger.”
“I lose all my power around you.” Willow said kissing her cheek.
“Do you now?” Tara teased as she kissed Willow’s earlobe.
“Uh-huh,” Willow said breathing deeply while leading Tara over to the bed.
The incense finished burning and another, softer gust of wind breezed through the room, but Willow and Tara were too busy to noticed it.
The next morning Willow woke up first as the sun peeked through the window. Her eyes still close she snuggled next to Tara, soon realizing that there were two bodies next to her on the bed. She looked over to her right and saw Tara, then looked over to her left and saw Tara.
“Tara!” she exclaimed waking both Tara’s from their sleep.
“What!” they said at the same time. Willow’s head flipped from one to the other. The two Tara’s looked at Willow then each other and jumped out of the bed.
“Oh my goddess! What happened?” Tara asked.
“I don’t know.” Willow said staring at them in disbelief when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
“Who’s there?” Willow asked.
“It’s me Wil, open up.” Buffy said.
Willow looked at the door, then at the two Tara’s standing in front of her, then back at the door, but before she could do anything Buffy opened the door.
“Oh sorry, we didn’t mean.” Buffy said turning around as Anya walked past her.
“See I told you they had sex.” Anya said, “Wait a second. Why are there two Tara’s?”
“What?” Buffy asked.
“Kinky sex.” Anya said, “They did a kinky sex spell. I wish I could have two Xanders to have sex with.”
“What is with you and sex?” Willow asked."We din't have sex."
"Right, you clothes are scattered around the room for fun, and those sheets wrapped around you are a new trend." Anya said.
“Why are there two Tara’s?” Buffy asked still in shock. Not only did she walk in on her best friend frantically trying to throw on some clothes, but also there were two Tara’s standing in front of her.
“I don’t know. I just woke up this morning and there were two of them.” Willow said. “When we went to bed last night there was only one.”
“Betcha wish there were two of them before, don’t you.” Anya said.
“Anya, please!” Buffy snapped, “Go call Giles.”
“But…”
“Just go!” Buffy said.
Buffy closed the door behind her after Anya reluctantly left the room. She let Willow and the two Tara’s get dressed before she began to ask them questions. After Willow explained the spell that they had done to Buffy, the four of them still had no answers.
“We have to go to Giles.” Buffy said, “He’ll know what to do.”
“Right.” Willow agreed looking up at both Tara’s, “Don’t worry we’ll fix this.”
Giles was reading the newspaper when Anya called. She was rambling about Willow, Tara, and sex. All he got out of the conversation was that they were on their way to his place.
“Bloody hell!” he exclaimed as he opened the door.
“It’s not as bad as it seems.” Buffy said walking in. “They have a really good explanation.”
