Fic - The One Where Everyone Has a Go

[tiredsoul]

OMG! That was awesome. His lifeless body? That stupid father, he should be dead. Eek, I didn't just say that. And I like Riley as the bad guy. Seems so much more approporiate. Who needs him to be good when Buffy's got Faith.



Talk about a cliffhanger. Branny, that's a tough one to follow. I don't envy you. I'm hoping for a nice smooth ending when my turn comes back around.



Excellent Nath. That was great.

[Tara22]

And now I can review Nath's part...



really good! loved it! Riley and Faith? go you with making Riley look stupid!



ooo, Tara's dad coming with Charlie, that was scary but Willow handled it well...



so good!

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?





Willow: Magic

[TheWhiz]

Fantastic updates!!

I'm loving this fic, everybody is doing a great job

Nath ya know i Loved it! It was very gooood!! God Mr. Maclay is soo evil and sneaky, but not sneaky enough 4 Willow! Very happy she hit the bastard over the head and had a very good hit too!



Riley, now that was brilliant! I wasn't expecting an evil Riley but i really like him that way! Him bein stupid cos of the Buffy/Slayer thing was a plus too!



Ooooo Branny's next, Can't Wait!!

~Ashley~

Willow: We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know... insane.
Tara: I said quirky.

[XWickedXWiccan]

I'm still laughing at Riley's stupidity but also Faith's to be dumb enough to have sex with him!! Aww Willow is all protective. I like Charlie better than Donnie. Can't wait for next update!!

Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstacy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we can live without passion maybe we'd know some peace. But we'd be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered, and dank, With out passion we'd truly be dead. ANGEL in "Passion"

[SlayerTazz]

Nath,

My god man - talk about a next to impossible thing to follow. How do you possibly expect me to follow something that incredible??



I loved the whole Faith/Riley bit!! Willow hitting Mr. Maclay over the head was great - he deserved much worse (and still may get it ).



Ok, working on my part tonight hopefully going to post tomorrow and then for all those reading Mending Fences - your update will be on Wednesday (happy Ashley??).

OMG I was so busy that I missed two updates. Wow and did I ever miss some good stuff.



Jen - damn girl... Excellent! Such a passionate scene.



Nath - Knocked over the head. That was just great. I know I shouldn't but that guy needs a shap knock.



This fic is such a fantastic idea. I can't wait to see where it goes.

[pacou]

I know I havent replied for ...what now...10 parts or something?



But finally Ive got some time and I wanted to thank everyone who is keeping this great fic alive! (Unfortunatey I forget who was writing it exactly, there were so many great writers, but thats just me, im a ... I dont know, just dumb )



But I at least remember the last part and that was Nath's



Hehe loved Faith for telling Riley Buffy would kick his ass! Poor Riley! Thats right that what he deserves



But thank all of you, Ill try to post here more often.



-Viv-

Well, we can answer questions.
Tara - Checkpoint

Dont dream it, be it.
Rocky Horror Picture Show

[spazz07]

Celia - Thanks, i think Mr. Maclay got what he deserved but the question on weather or not Willow's officially a killer or not is Branny's question to answer. Someone earlier mentioned Riley stalking our girls, i think it might have been Frau, i'm not exactly sure, but i kinda picked up from there. I'm sure Branny has got what it takes to follow up



Tara22 - Well i dont think it was hard to make Riley look stupid lol. Yeah i brought in Mr. Maclay to see where it goes with that, love can make you do funny things



TheWhiz - I agree, its a team effort and i think it makes it all the better



Molly - Yup, Willow and her books to the rescue again, who said being a bookworm didn;t pay off



Ashley - Glad you liked Mr Maclay being walloped over the head, but who didn't Glad you liked evil stupid Riley, i know i do lol



Trinity - Well Faith aint exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer either though she's smart enough to know that the inititive is going down and that Buffy is coming to rescue her. Willow's always looking out for her girl and Charlie will be all the better now that he's with Tara.



Branny - My dear friend, even i was happy with my last part and being my own harshest critic is saying something. Though i'm more than sure the fic is in capable hands and i'm looking forward to Mr. Maclay getting even worse stuff done to him. Looking forward to 2morrow and of course the mending fences update on wed.



Sharon - I know you shouldn't but its mr. Maclay so we'll not tell anyone I'm with you, i'm looking forward to seeing where it goes also



Piper - And i always like to hear it Branny has the reigns next so looking forward to what she has to offer.



BV - Evil Riley works for, just means he's in lone for an ass kicking Willow getting all large with the butch, now maybe she can do it again and help get Tara's mom out



Viv - Npz, thanks, glad you liked Faith telling Riley how it is, we'll see how Branny and the other writers take it from here



Cheers

Nath

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

[Ange]

That was great, Spazz!!! God, i like when you write.

I liked your part too Jennpur, sorry i'm late. heheheh.

Can't wait for the next part.

Summary – Kittens choose different routes to take the story once they get a go at posting. So basically anything could, would & should happen throughout





Part 17, Actions and Consequences…



Everyone stared at the redhead as she checked the pulse. Tara and Charlie were both unsure if they wanted their father alive or dead. After the years of abuse he had inflicted on them though they felt that it might be a blessing, but neither were as cold hearted as their father to truly want him dead. Willow moved her hand trembling towards the mans neck. She glanced up towards Tara and Charlie before actually touching the man before her. She sat there for a couple seconds feeling for a pulse. When she looked back up she could see the anticipation in her loves eyes.



“He’s alive,” she whispered as a sigh of relief came from Tara and Charlie.



“W-we should t-tie him up,” said Tara.



“I think I have something that will work,” said Willow as she rose and headed towards her closet. As she past Tara her hand reached out and touched her arm offering a slight reassurance.



“Thanks,” Charlie said watching the exchange of love and caring between the two girls.



Willow rummaged through her closet before finding a rope she had stashed away. She was never sure why Buffy had given her the little “monster safety kit” but she was grateful now that she had. The three moved Mr. Maclay more into the room and tied him up. Once that was done everyone was more relieved and began to relax.



Tara and Charlie stared at their unconscious father for a long time in silence before Willow broke the silence.



“I don’t believe we’ve been properly introduced, I’m Tara’s roommate and girlfriend Willow,” she said as she extended her hand towards Charlie. Tara’s heart filled with love hearing Willow refer to herself as her girlfriend.



“Hi, I’m her little brother Charlie,” said the young man with a smile as he pulled Willow into an embrace. “I don’t know how to thank you for helping us with our less than stellar father…”



“No thanks needed,” Willow interrupted breaking the embrace and turning and taking Tara’s hand into her own. “Nobody messes with my girl,” Willow said squeezing Tara hand softly.



“I like the sounds of that,” she finally said after watching the warm exchange between her brother and her love.



**********



As Riley tried to absorb in a fraction of a second what Faith had told him about Buffy, registering the voice through the radio, trying to recall all that he had been trained and told. He stood there blank, trying to figure it all out as the door behind him burst open and there standing before him was the blonde Slayer, and she didn’t look pleased.



“Hey B, what kept ya?” smirked Faith.



“Decided to stop for a warm up on the way,” Buffy said as she grabbed Riley’s radio from him before he could call for backup.



“H-how, this isn’t possible,” he stuttered out as he felt a sudden blow to his ribcage knocking the wind out of him and dropping him to his knees.



“This is Sunnydale chump…the impossible always becomes possible here,” Faith said as she stood over him grinning.



“Are you ok?” questioned Buffy.



“Five by five B,” grinned Faith noting the caring tone from the other Slayer. “Just took a little rest and was waiting for you to join me. Somewhere in here they have Tara’s mom. I don’t think we can get her in this run, too dangerous – we may have to come back.”



“We aren’t going to have time to come back – we leave here now and they are going to be prepared for us to come back. We need to get her now.”



Buffy and Faith turned their attentions back to Riley and both began to grin.



“B, you thinking what I’m thinking?” asked the brunette Slayer.



“Oh yeah, definitely reading you on that one,” said the blonde.



**********



Charlie filled Willow and Tara in on the events leading up to the arrival of them at her dorm. He explained the rage that their father had gone into, the fear that he felt for all their safety and about the commandos. While he was telling the story Charlie noticed that Willow was intently listening while her and Tara’s fingers danced together in their entwined hands. He couldn’t help but smile.



“I’m glad your alright,” started Tara. “I can’t believe those guys have mom. I don’t know what to do, how we’re going to get her back.”



Willow wrapped herself around the blonde and pulled her close trying to offer her some comfort and trying to come up with a plan.



“Baby, we’ll get through this together,” she whispered. “I’ll call Buffy and the Scooby’s and we’ll get your mom back.”



“Scooby’s?” asked Charlie.



“It’s a long story Charlie,” giggled Tara realizing how that had to sound to someone who didn’t know about Sunnydale. She turned slightly in Willow’s embrace to make eye contact with her. “Thank you,” she said as she planted a soft sensual kiss on the redheads lips and then leaned back into the embrace.



“Always,” was all Willow said.



The three sat there in silence for a long time, all processing what had transpired and where they were to go from here. Willow was the first to notice movement from the Mr. Maclay. He began to struggle in the ties that were binding him.



“What is this? What have you done to me? You are all going to pay the moment I get free…” he spat out with a great deal of venom.



“No sir, see that is where you are wrong,” said the redhead in a defensive tone.



“Who are you? This is a family matter that doesn’t concern you.”



“She is family dad, more family than you could ever be,” Charlie said not sure where it came from or what made him do it.



“You, boy untie me before I get even angrier.”



Willow grabbed the book she had hit him over the head with earlier and turned towards Mr. Maclay.



“Play nice or we’ll have to see if Mr. Magic Book packs as strong of a punch the second time around,” she said in a very stern voice. Everyone turned to see the seriousness in her eyes. Mr. Maclay flinched at the power he saw within her at that moment. Tara and Charlie were in shock, nobody had EVER stood up to their father before.



Willow set the book down next to her and reached for the phone, she called Giles and informed him of what had transpired and asked him to find the others to help the get back Tara’s mom. Giles agreed and after they hung up Willow turned to face Tara and Charlie.



“The Scooby’s are on it – now we just have to gather some information and they’ll be here shortly.”



“Thank you, I don’t know what I would do without you,” Tara said pulling Willow into a tight hug.



“Well, you aren’t going to have to find that out now are you.”
