Title:Lost and Found part 1

Author: Thorn

Feedback: Yes, please

Summary: AU

Disclaimer: I don’t own Willow or Tara. They belong to Joss Wedon.

Rating: PG

Couples: W/T

Notes: This is the first fanfic I've ever written

Tara and Willow were walking to the Expresso Pump when they noticed a girl sitting on the curb. Her hair was tosseled and she looked tired.

"Poor thing" Tara said, "Let's see if we can help her."

Tara went up to the girl and asked if she was all right.

"Not really." The girl replied.

Tara asked her what was wrong and the girl explained that she had gotten into an argument with her parents and got kicked out of the house. Tara turned back to Willow.

"We have to help her." Tara said.

"Okay, what's your name?" Willow asked the girl.

"Britney." The girl replied.

"Well I am Willow and this is Tara. If you need a place to stay you can stay at our house for a while."

"Thanks." Britney said with a relieved look on her face. Britney's blue eyes shown with hunger.

"Now let's go to the Expresso Pump for coffee and some lunch." Willow said and they all started walking toward the Expresso Pump.

Notes: This is the first fanfic I've ever written and it's kinda corny. This part is short because I am trying to post more everyday and I sometimes get writers block. There should be more tomorrow.

After going to the Expresso Pump they came back to Willow and Tara's house. During thier lunch Willow and Tara had learned that Britney was 16, a sophmore in Sunnydale High, on the cheerleading team, and in the drama club. The argument Britney had with her parents was about Britney not taking responsiblity for her actions. The blond apparently didn't want to be responsible for anything.

"I've got to get to work down at the Magic Box." Willow noted as she checked her watch. She said goodbye to them and left.

"Since you got kicked out last night you will probaly be wanting a shower." Tara suggested.

"Yeah, that'd be great."Britney said.

"Second door to the left." Tara pointed and Britney started walking.

Britney paused at the door. "Thanks again." Britney said before entering the bathroom.

Notes: This is the first fanfic I've ever written and it's kinda corny. Thanks to EarthBeauty for her suggestions.

When Tara heard the shower turn off she knocked on the door.

"I found some clothes for you to wear." She called out.

The door opened slightly and a hand reached out.

"Thanks." A vioce said behind the door.

I hope Willow doesn't mind sharing her clothes, Tara thought.

A few minutes later Britney came out carring her dirty clothes.

"We can just put those in the wash." Tara said leading Britney to the washing machine. Britney put her clothes in and Tara started it up.

"You should probaly call your parents to tell them your okay." Tara suggested.

"There the ones who kicked me out of the house." Britney reminded her.

"I'm sure they are really worried." Tara said as she walked into the livingroom. Britney picked up the phone and started dialing.

Alright, I'll be frank, honest, and hmm. I might even sound mean, even harsh, to you, but I'm just trying to help.

First off, it takes courage to post a first fic, and so, congrats for that.

But making a story, writing a fic, requires a bit more than guts, unfortunately. You have to at least have a general outline of what you want it to be, and where you want it to go. Especially here, on the kitten, as it's supposed to be Willow and Tara centered, and well, from what I,ve read right now, you're centering attention on Britney...

Then, you have to mark your character's depth. Show their feelings, emotions, movements. You're purely stating facts, not really describing anything. Is the street dark? Why did Britney's parents throw her out at first, it should show somehow in her behavior, hint away, even if just a little. You characters are blank, Willow and Tara couldve been named Pratt and Whitney and there wouldn't be much of a difference.

And then, you have to add more depth to the environment, too. A feeling of time passing by, maybe. Everything happens as if it was cut through time without any real sense of chronology. A bit as if you were throwing the ideas down to not forget them, but left them in that awkward queue of events.

Now, a bit on the shortness of the parts you're posting. You must've heard of the notion of paragraphs. Well here's something I've given myself for a pattern.

A paragraph is composed of one description, event, or dialogue. It usually is supposed to be able to stand alone. If it's not more than three lines long, then either it can be developped more, or it's not as useful as I thought it would be into the story. Now, your story is composed of three lines and less paragraphs for the most part. Think it up, maybe you could fluff a little, add character depths, move things at some kind of pace.

The way it is right now, your story looks like a summary of a summary, no offense meant.

Oh and another thing maybe you should've thought about: the probability of what you're describing actually happening. I don't think tara would walk up to anyone in the street and take someone she really doesn't know home without further investigation. You gotta make a reason as in "Why did they even cross path?". I don't know, the girl bumped in them, and fell on the ground like a heavy sack of potatoe, and it was christmas day and the spirit of christmas told her to pick her up and bring her home. It,s a stupid reason, got to admit, but it is most likely to feel like its right to the reader than if it just happens out of the blue, if you get what I mean.

So my advice would be to take up your pencil, or your keyboard, whichever fits you best, and try to work on that with what you already got. Learning how to write fluidly and nicely can be a long and hard process, and if you really want to get better, practice, and try to understand other people's advice.

And one of the best way to write better, is also to read other people's stuff and think about what you just read. Did you like it? Was it easy to read for you? Why did it flow right, or if it was bad, why was it so bad? What made it feel wrong? Learn from other people's mistakes and success.

Hope I was useful to you ;)

Britney hung up the phone. Her parents were happy to hear from her but said she couldn't come home. Her parents felt they both needed some time to sort things out.

"How did it go?" Tara asked.

"It went okay, they are still mad though." Britney explained.

"They'll come around. Want to help me make dinner? Willow should be home soon." Tara said.

"I really don't know how to cook but I'll try." Britney responded.

Tara and Britney set about making dinner. Twenty minutes later Willow walked throught the door.

"How was your day?" Tara asked Willow.

"Great, I made a lot of sales. How was yours?" Willow asked.

"Good, dinner is almost ready." Tara said.

During dinner the topic of school came up.

"I know you didn't go today, but you should really go tomorrow so you don't get behind. Show your parents you are responsible enough to keep going." Willow said.

"Okay, I'll go." Britney decided.

Britney groaned as an alarm clock that Willow had set for her last night beeped. She got off the couch and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Taking off the pajamas Tara had loaned her the night before she took a quick shower and put on the clothes from the wash. She ate cereal for breakfast and walked to school.
The school day passed quickly and soon she was back at Willow and Tara's house. Tara was washing the dishes when Britney came in.

"Need help?" Britney asked.

Tara smiled appicativy. "You can dry."

As the girls did the dishes Tara asked "Do you help your parents out like this at home?"

"No, they are too demanding of me." Brotney replied.

"Let's see what we can't do about that. What's thier number? I would like to invite them over for dinner tonight." Tara explained.

Britney told Tara the number and Tara invited Britney's parents over for dinner. They accepted.

"They'll be here at 6:00" Tara said.

Notes: This is the first fanfic I've ever written and it's kinda corny. This is the final part to it. I hope at least 1 person thought it was an okay read.

"They should be here any minute now." Willow pointed out.

Just then the doorbell rang. Willow opened the door and Britney's parents stepped in. Introductions and greetings were passed around and then they all sat at the table. All was quiet as serving dishes were passed around. Once everyone had thier food the conversation started.

"We just wish Britney was more responsible. She never does all her chores." Britney's mother said.

"That's because you are always nagging me." Britney said.

"So if you dopn't nag and you do your chores everyone would be happy?" Willow asked.

"Well, yes actually." Britney's mother said.

"That sounds pretty easy when you put it that way." Tara noted.

"Britney would you like to come back home?" Her father asked.

"I'll try not to nag you as long as you do your chores." Her mother said.

"Okay." Britney agreed.

At the end of dinner Britney and her parents were hugging.

"Thanks for your help." Britney told Willow and Tara.

"No problem." Willow said.

"Yeah, we're just glad everything turned out all right." Tara added.

With that Birtney and her parents left.

"Now time for us." Tara said pulling Willow into thier bedroom.

THE END
