Everyone else, sorry this part was shorter, I just wanted to get it done and move on to the next ch. When I write I have certian things I want one ch. to do, now that may make them 15 pages or that may make them 5 it just depends on what that ch. has to get done So actually thier not really short just shorter then what your all used to Anyways I just wanted to drop in and say hello I got this new game for my Playstation 2, ok so it's not a newer title BUT I had to wait for the price to go down, so I"m taking the night off from writing (don't shoot me kittens) Resident Evil Code Veronica awaits Ok so if I get scared playing and come back to the board don't laugh, I'm kinda afraid of the dark, ok don't know why I typed that but I guess I'll leave it in, now you all know my biggest fear, well that and being stuck in FL my whole life ok later everyone!

It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against ‘em
Oh but they had something on their side
When doubt said it can’t be done

Cut to the Magic Box, Tally is checking a customer out. Anya is going over an order on the phone.

And let me tell you I know just how much business I give you, would you like it to stop?…. I didn’t think so! That’s right, it’d better be!

TALLY: (Half grins) (Hands the customer their bag) Thanks and come again!



Customer walks off.



ANYA: You’ve been quite today, busy night with Dawn?

TALLY: Not so much, Anya can I ask you something?

ANYA: You know you’ve been with her a while, I’m sure you know more about lesbian sex then I do!

TALLY: Anya! Be serious for once.

ANYA: What? I am!

TALLY: Never mind

ANYA: I’m sorry, what’s wrong?

TALLY: You remember Alex?

ANYA: Evil vampire that tried to turn you into his slave? Yeah name rings a bell!

TALLY: (Doesn’t say anything)

ANYA: What?

TALLY: Theirs no way he could still be alive is there? I mean some kind of spell, anything?

ANYA: We all saw him turn into dust!

TALLY: I know… But theirs…. Something you know happen…. I mean could something, somehow, maybe someone??…. (Cut off by the bell over the shop door dinging)



Tara, Willow, Liz, and Dawn walk into the shop.

ANYA: Hey guys!

LIZ: (Smiles) Hey aunt Anya.

ANYA: No floating things! Unless it’s an evil demon…. not ex demon a real demon then you can float it (Smiles)

TARA: (Shoots Anya a ‘very nice’ sarcastic look)

DAWN: (Hugs Tally) working hard?

TALLY: Just a bit (Smiles)

TARA: We wanted to ask you a question (Looking at Anya)

ANYA: What is it with people’s questions today?

TALLY: (Shoots Anya a ‘shut up’ look)

ANYA: Ok sorry, go on.

TARA: Can Tally have a week off?

ANYA: What!

TARA: Well, Willow and I want to take…Well I want to take Liz out to a dude ranch, and I thought it would be nice to have the whole family their.

ANYA: Oh so we get to go to!! (Excited)

WILLOW: Um she meant our family.

ANYA: (Pouts) I knew that! But I bet Dawn’s going!

TARA: (Smiles) She’s family!

WILLOW: So?

ANYA: Fine, if she want’s it she can have the week off, what else was I going to do on her spring break besides work her to death!

TALLY: (Smiles) So were going horseback riding huh?

TARA: Yeah!

TALLY: Cool!



Cut to ‘Rusty Acers’ dude ranch. Big ranch next to a forest has four guesthouses. Tara and Willow’s rented SUV pulls into the front of the main house. Their greeted by a ranch hand around the age of Tally and Dawn.



MIKE: Hello! You must be the Rosenberg- Maclay family?

LIZ: That’s us! (Smiles) Where are the horses?

MIKE: (Smiles) Well, how about we get you settled then let you see the horses? (Looks at Dawn) Hi.

DAWN: Um hi.

TARA: Ah our bags are in the truck.

MIKE: Oh right (Smiles) (Walks to get the bags)

TALLY: Oh that’s right! Keep walking cowboy, she’s mine!

DAWN: (Playfully slaps Tally’s arms) Are you jealous?

TALLY: Me! Never! (Grins)



About that time a girl Mike’s age comes up.



SARA: Hey, welcome to the Rusty Acers dude ranch. (Looks at Tally)

TALLY: (Looks at Sara) Sara?

SARA: Tally? (Smiles big) Oh my god! It’s you!

TALLY: (Smiles just as big, Hugs Sara) I can’t believe this!

SARA: What are you doing here?

TALLY: Um staying at the ranch (Playing)

SARA: (Embarrassed) Well, yeah of course you are! (smiles)

TALLY: (Looks at Tara, Willow and Liz) These are my parents, Willow, and Tara, and that’s my little sister Liz. (Looks at Dawn) And that’s my girlfriend Dawn. Guys this is my best friend from when I was a kid, Sara!

SARA: Nice to meet you all!! Man it’s so good to see you! When those jerks adopted you and you guys moved away I didn’t’ think I’d ever see you again!

TALLY: Yeah well welcome to my new family, (Looks at Willow, Tara and Liz) Their nice ones!

SARA: (Smiles) OH come on I need to show you all to your rooms!



There are guesthouses around the ranch. Tara, Willow, Dawn, Tally and Liz are in one. Cut to Dawn and Tally’s room. Sara is standing in the room talking to them.



SARA: So when daddy was about to get transferred he decided to retire, so we decided to buy this place, packed up everything and within six weeks here we where.

TALLY: That’s awesome you’ve only be two hours away this whole time!

SARA: I know!

DAWN: (Looks a little out of place) I… Um think I’m going to go see if Tara needs some help unpacking Liz’s stuff.

TALLY: Ok sweetie (Kisses Dawn’s cheek) Love you.

DAWN: (Smiles) Love you to. (Walks out the door)

SARA: She’s cute!

TALLY: You mean major hottie!

SARA: (Laughs) Something like that!

TALLY: We’ve been through a lot… (Stops)

SARA: What?

TALLY: Just seams overwhelming sometimes, you know?

SARA: (Pat’s Tally on the shoulder) Welcome to being in love! (Grins) Come on I want you to see my horse!



Cut to Liz’s room were Tara is unpacking a suitcase. Dawn walks into the room.



TARA: Hey Dawnie!

LIZ: (Runs into Dawn’s arms) Did you see the cows? (Points out the window)

DAWN: Yeah, their neat huh?

LIZ: The coolest! (Looks around) Where’s Tally?

DAWN: Oh she’s catching up with her friend.

TARA: (Looks a little worried) You didn’t’ want to hang out with them?

DAWN: I um thought I’d see if you needed some help first?



Cut to Willow and Tara’s room later that night, they’re laying in bed.



WILLOW: So were did Tally disappear to this afternoon? She missed dinner!

TARA: Oh I think she’s still out with her friend, that Sara girl.

WILLOW: It’s good she’s found a new friend, I mean she has Dawn, and that’s great, but everyone needs friends, and since Steve… (Looks a little sad) She’s been not as outgoing, and I’m not saying that anything’s wrong with that it’s just you know…sometimes people need to be outgoing to be who they are… (Cut off by Tara)

TARA: (Touches Willow’s lips with her finger) Honey! It’s good to breath sometimes (Grins)

WILLOW: Sorry babbling I know! All I’m trying to say is that it’s good for her to actually have someone to talk to.

TARA: (Smiles) I know (Kisses Willow) Get some sleep (Pulls away)

WILLOW: Hey! I’m all about the Tara kissage! Why’d you pull away?

TARA: Big day tomorrow honey!

WILLOW: Oh that! (Coughs) I don’t feel so well… I think I may be coming down with something! You know the more I think about it (Feels of her head) Yeah I’m defiantly feeling a little warm!

TARA: I’d say downright hot, but I’m partial! (Grins) Now go to bed!

WILLOW: (Playfully) I’m in bed!

TARA: (Laughs) Your not getting out of it! No matter what you do!

WILLOW: (Kisses Tara’s neck) Sure about that?

TARA: (Makes a face of pleasure) Ummm yeah defiantly…. oh Willow (Grins)

WILLOW: (Smiles) (Kisses Tara hard) (Stops)

TARA: Hey! (Little out of breath from the kissing)

WILLOW: Night baby! (Cuts the light off)

TARA: Will that’s not fair!

WILLOW: What? (Playing)

TARA: Oh you know good and well ‘what’!

WILLOW: Say I don’t have to go tomorrow and we’ll finish!

TARA: Ohhhhh that’s SO not fair!

WILLOW: (Big goofy grin) See I have my way of getting what I want!

TARA: So do I! (Lays her head on her pillow)

WILLOW: Tara I know we’ve been together a long time but um I’m not sure laying you head on the pillow is going to get the kisses and gay love started??

TARA: Sorry no matter how much…You’re not getting out of tomorrow! Night honey!

WILLOW: Ok now that’s just not fair!

TARA: OH you started this Will!

WILLOW: So what if I really am sick?

TARA: (Burst into laughter)



Cut to the woods were we see Willow on a horse, beside of her is Liz, with Tara on the other side. Dawn and Tally are behind them.



WILLOW: (Looks down) This is way high! And I’m still not feeling well!

LIZ: (Laughing)

WILLOW: What?

TARA: Honey, you’re acting like a five year old!

WILLOW: So am not!

LIZ: So are to!

WILLOW: So am not!

LIZ: Are to!

TALLY: Are to! (Grins)

DAWN: (Looks at Tally) your not helping!

TALLY: Want to punish me? (Grins)

DAWN: (Tries to swat at Tally) Very funny!

TARA: Ok you guys! Be good!! If I have to turn these horses around I will!! (Breaks into laughter)

WILLOW: Very good attempt baby, make a mean face then burst into laughter…I give her a 9.5 for effort!

LIZ: I give her a 10!

TALLY: Me to! (Smiles)

DAWN: Me to!

WILLOW: Ok that settles it; you get to be reasonable one! Ok I’m going home now!

TARA: No, not if you ‘ever’ want to finish something (Winks)

WILLOW: Cold! Very cold!

LIZ: Actually it’s hot mommy!

TARA: (Smiles) You know Tally, it’s good you know the owners, I mean if not we’d had to stuck with the trail group.

TALLY: I know isn’t it cool! I’ve always loved to ride.

TARA: Me to. You just forget about everything out here.

WILLOW: Yeah maybe that happens when you fall off and hit your head?

TALLY: (Takes her camera out and takes some photos)

WILLOW: You always have that thing don’t you?

TALLY: Oh yeah (Smiles) Never leave home without it!

WILLOW: Ok so can we eat lunch now?

TARA: (Smiles) I think that’s a good idea actually Will.

WILLOW: Well don’t sound so surprised!



They all start to get off the horses near a creek, and tie their horses to a tree.



TALLY: (Helps Liz down) There you go squirt.

LIZ: (Smiles) Thanks.

DAWN: Geeze I don’t get helped down (Hops down)

TALLY: (Hugs Dawn) Sorry baby, I’ll help you down later! (Evil little grin)

TARA: Tally! (Looks at Liz)

TALLY: Ahhh Help you down…from the cabin the ah stairs?

LIZ: Tally, (tugs at Tally’s shirt) We don’t have stairs in the cabin? (Looks confused)

TALLY: (Hands Liz the lunch basket) Here take this!

TARA: (Notices Willow hasn’t gotten down) Will?

WILLOW: Um how do you get down?

TARA: (Grins) Here. (Holds out her arms) Hold onto me!

WILLOW: (Starts to get down, and almost falls into Tara) Um if this if the way horse riding ends I’m all for it! (Kisses Tara)

TARA: (Smiles) Me to. (Grins)

WILLOW: (Starts to move then makes a hurt face)

TARA: Will honey are you ok?

WILLOW: I can’t feel my butt! Oh my goddess, it hurts! (Starts to walk bow legged)



The group burst into laughter



Cut to the lake a little while later, Sara and Tally are walking out with fishing poles.



TALLY: This place is amazing!

SARA: I know, I found it a few months after we moved here.

TALLY: It’s hard to believe theirs places without buildings around anymore!

SARA: But it’s nice, then again the city must be nice to?

TALLY: Sometimes. (Fixes her pole)

SARA: (Does the same) (Cast her line in the water) So when’s the big day?

TALLY: Huh?

SARA: I noticed Dawn had an engagement ring on, so I just assumed…

TALLY: Oh (Smiles) three weeks.

SARA: I’m happy for you Tal.

TALLY: Thanks. (Doesn’t’ say anything)

SARA: What?

TALLY: Nothing.

SARA: Ok I used to know you pretty well, and when you got silent it wasn’t a good thing.

TALLY: Gee thanks!

SARA: I mean it in the best of ways! (Grins) So what’s up?

TALLY: The whole wedding thing… It’s kinda confusing!

SARA: How so?

TALLY: Well, I love her so much, but I don’t know it…where young, and I don’t know a lot of stuff has happen, and I’m afraid of what will happen in the future.

SARA: You don’t want to hurt her?

TALLY: Exactly!

SARA: Well Tally I don’t know what to tell you, people get hurt, what you have to figure out is can you live with a little hurt staying with her, or major hurt being without her? Cause just from looking at you guys, you’d be crazy to give it up.

TALLY: (Smiles) Yeah. I’m just scared I guess.

SARA: Well, can’t be any worse then our first kiss.

TALLY: (Smiles) You mean my very first kiss!

SARA: That’s the one! If I remember correctly when I tried to french you, you bite the heck out of my tongue!

TALLY: (Laughs) Hey I was 14, how was I supposed to know what you were going to do!

SARA: Well, it was my first kiss to, so how was I supposed to know what to do?



About this time Dawn walks into hearing distance of the two.



TALLY: It’s not my fault you’re a bad kisser!

SARA: (Laughs) (Gets a bite at her reel) Ohhh I got a bite!

TALLY: (Helps Sara reel it in)



They real in about a 12lb trout.



TALLY: OH my god, that’s a big fish!

SARA: (Laughs) Throw it back?

TALLY: Yeah!



Dawn runs away crying. Cut to the cabin were Willow, Tara and Liz are roasting marshmallows in the fireplace.



LIZ: This is so cool!

WILLOW: (Pulls out a burnt marshmallow that’s still on fire) Oh no!

TARA: (Blows out the marshmallow) (Smiles)

LIZ: (Laughs) (Eats another marshmallow) (Gets it all over her face) (Yawns)

TARA: (Smiles) Come on honey, lets get you cleaned up and in bed.

LIZ: (Yawns again) I’m not tired!

TARA: I know sweetie, but how about we go to sleep so we can go swimming tomorrow morning?

LIZ: (Grins) Ok!

TARA: (Picks Liz up and carries her to the bathroom)

TALLY: (Walks in the front door) Hey!

WILLOW: (Smiles) Hey, (Looks around) Where’s Dawn?

TALLY: Oh I thought she was here?

WILLOW: No I thought she was with you?

TALLY: (Looks a little worried) No I went fishing with Sara?

WILLOW: Yeah, Tara told me, but Dawn went looking for you guys.

TALLY: OH well I’ll go back and look for her, we probably just missed her.

WILLOW: Ok (Smiles)

TALLY: (Exits)

TARA: (Walks in) Did I hear Tally?

WILLOW: (Stands up) Yup, she went to go find Dawn.

TARA: OH maybe that was a staged moonlight walk?

WILLOW: Maybe! (Kisses Tara) She asleep?

TARA: Maybe! (Winks)

WILLOW: I believe you owe me something?

TARA: Um nope? I don’t think so? (Playing with Willow’s hair)

WILLOW: (Kisses Tara)

TARA: Oh that? How about a rain check? (Laughs) (Kisses Willow)



Cut to the barn, Dawn is in a stall crying. Mike comes up.



MIKE: Um miss can I help you?

DAWN: No! (Blows her nose)

MIKE: All right then.

DAWN: I thought she was just under a spell… but I guess once a cheater always a cheater!

MIKE: Spell?

DAWN: (Sobs harder)

MIKE: (Hugs Dawn) Hey it’s ok.



Tally walks around the corner to see Mike hugging Dawn who is crying.



TALLY: (Runs up and hits Mike) Get away from her you son of a bitch!

MIKE: (Jumps back) Hey! I wasn’t doing anything!

TALLY: Oh right! (Looks at Dawn) Did he hurt you?

DAWN: I’m fine, (Walks to Mike) Are you ok?

TALLY: (Looks at Dawn with shock) Dawn?

DAWN: What? Like you’re the only one who can have a new friend?

TALLY: What the hell are you talking about?

MIKE: Hey I’m outta here (Walks off)

DAWN: Me to! (Looks at Tally) You’d better stay on the couch tonight! (Starts to walk off)

TALLY: (Grabs Dawn’s arm) Where do you think your going?

DAWN: Let go! (Starts to make a face of pain) Tally… God your hurting me, let go!

TALLY: I don’t’ think so!

MIKE: (Walks back around and tackles Tally) Hey, don’t hurt her!

TALLY: (Punches Mike) Get off of me creep!

MIKE: (Knocks Tally against a stable gate)

TALLY: (Hits her head pretty bad) (Sits up and grabs her head) (Gets a hand full of blood)

DAWN: Oh my god! (Runs to Tally’s side) Tally?

TALLY: (Shakes her head) Get away from me! (Jumps up and runs out of the barn)

MIKE: (Looks at Dawn) Come on let me walk you back to your cabin.



Later that night, Mike is walking through the woods to his cabin.



MIKE: (Looks around) (Starts walking faster…you can tell something is following him) (Looks at something, face is in shock) Ok look… I’m sorry… No! (Screams as something attacks him)



Cut to Willow and Tara’s cabin the next morning, Dawn is pacing in the living room as Willow, Tara and Liz look on from the couch.



TARA: I’m sure she’ll be here soon.

DAWN: She hit her head pretty bad Tara; I should have stayed with her.

WILLOW: She may just be with…talking to Sara. Besides what could be wrong out here, where miles and miles away from demon badness!



Cut to the barn were Tally is lying on a pile of hay.



SARA: (Comes in and sees Tally) Thank god!

TALLY: (Still asleep, has her back towards Sara)

SARA: (Squats beside Tally) Hey! Wake up!

TALLY: (Turns over and is covered in blood) Sara?

SARA: Oh my god! What happen?

TALLY: (Sits up, looks around) (Holds her head) I think I hit my head last night.

SARA: Come on! (Helps Tally up) Lets get you to your cabin; I’m sure their worried sick about you!



Cut back to Willow and Tara’s cabin. Tally comes out of the bathroom with fresh clothes on.



TARA: Feel better?

TALLY: Yeah.

WILLOW: How’s your head?

TALLY: It’s good… Nothing major (Looks worried)

DAWN: We need to talk.

TALLY: Yeah…



Dawn and Tally go to their room.



DAWN: What the hell was that last night?

TALLY: Look, I just went to find you! Mom said you went looking for Sara and me so I was afraid you might have gotten lost… Then I find you in the barn with him!

DAWN: Well, after I found you with her!

TALLY: Yeah we were fishing!

DAWN: And kissing!

TALLY: What the hell are you talking about?

DAWN: I’m not stupid… No matter what you think… I heard you talking about how you bite her tongue or some shit!

TALLY: (Half grins)

DAWN: I’m glad you find this amusing!

TALLY: Dawn we were 14 when that happen!

DAWN: What?

TALLY: We didn’t kiss last night, that happen when we were 14, and both figuring things out.

DAWN: You didn’t kiss her?

TALLY: Not last night, or since I’ve seen her this time!

DAWN: Really?

TALLY: Really! (Hugs Dawn) I’m sorry for everything last night, it’s all a blur but I think I was kinda jerk.

DAWN: (Hugs Tally back) I’m just glad your ok!



Cut to the living room were Sara is sitting in a chair sobbing. Dawn and Tally come out from their room.



TALLY: Sara, what’s wrong!?!

SARA: It’s Mike, he’s dead!

DAWN: What?

TARA: They found him about an hour ago; Sara came over to tell us.

TALLY: What happen?

WILLOW: Puncture wounds to the neck… (Looks worried)

TALLY: (Looks scared to death)

SARA: They said he fell on a branch and bleed to death, that’s crap he knew the woods better then any of us! (Starts to cry again)

WILLOW: (Pats the girls back) It’s ok, we’ll figure this out, I promise…

TALLY: (Staring out the window)

BUFFY: (Grins) Sounds good Tara, we need food before we get down and dirty with the investigation.



Cut to Tally walking around in the woods. She gets to the spot where Mike’s body was found and starts looking around notices a piece of her shirt from the other night on the ground.



SARA: (Walks up behind Tally) What are you doing?

TALLY: (Jumps) God! You scared me!

SARA: (Looks nervous) Why are you at the crime scene?

TALLY: Just trying to find some answers.

SARA: You’re not a cop?

TALLY: I know, but remember when I told you I’ve went through some changes?

SARA: Yeah?

TALLY: Well, I can do things now, I’m not really supposed to cause I got hurt a while back, but I can if it’s necessary.

SARA: Like what?

TALLY: (Waves her hand and a tree limb stars to float) You name it, I might be able to do it.

SARA: (Looks shocked) Oh. You’re like a superhero?

TALLY: (Smirks) No, no way. I’m just trying to be me.

SARA: Is it that hard?

TALLY: (Looks at the spot where they have marked in white chalk for Mike’s body) You have no idea.



Cut back to Willow and Tara’s cabin. The gang is sitting at the table eating breakfast, when Tally walks in.



TALLY: (Shocked to see everyone) Hey.

ANYA: We got to come after all! See what happens when you leave family behind! Bad things that’s what! Let this be a lesson! OH pass the blueberry jam!

CHAD: Mom! That’s my pancake!

TARA: I can make more sweetie. (Grins)

TALLY: (Sits by Dawn) Save any for me?

DAWN: (Smiles) Sure did. (Hands Tally a plate)

WILLOW: So where’d you run off to this morning?

TALLY: Oh I wanted to take a walk. No big.

TARA: Well you missed getting to help with the cooking!

TALLY: Guess I timed it just right then huh?

WILLOW: (Grins)

LIZ: I helped!

TALLY: (Smiles) Good! (Shakes her head) I think I’m going to go get a shower. (Stands up)

FAITH: Thought you were starving?

TALLY: I need a shower! (Turns and walks away)

FAITH: Okay!

DAWN: (Looks concerned) I’ll be right back. (Follows Tally)



Cut to the bathroom where Tally is sitting in the shower letting the hot water run over her. Has her knees pulled to her chest crying.



DAWN: (Walks in the bathroom and sees Tally crying) Honey! What’s wrong?

TALLY: Nothing! Get out! (Turns her head away from Dawn)

DAWN: (Kneels by Tally) (Turns the water off and pulls Tally into a hug)

TALLY: (Holds on to Dawn crying)

DAWN: (Holds Tally) Shh, it’s ok.



That night, the gang is patrolling around the ranch. Minus Tally and Anya.



FAITH: (Looking around) It’s quite here B. Maybe it was just a wild dog or something?

WILLOW: Right, a wild dog that goes right for the neck!?! I don’t think so!

FAITH: Hey, you said I need to be more optimistic!

WILLOW: Yeah, but you’re a slayer, don’t be optimistic when it comes to slaying! Um you know what I mean!

FAITH: No, not really!

TARA: (Grins)

BUFFY: You know guys, a little less talking, and a little more watching might come in handy!

XANDER: Geeze Buff, when did you turn into Giles?

BUFFY: (Hits Xander’s arm) I’m going to send you back to the cabin with Anya if you don’t be good!

XANDER: I’m being quite!

DAWN: I hope she’s not driving Tally to crazy.

FAITH: Somehow, I think Tally can manage.



About that time Anya runs to the group out of breath.



ANYA: HELP!!!!!!

BUFFY: (Gets in a fighting stance) Anya? What the hell are you doing out here?

ANYA: They. Grabbed…. Them…. Must…. Help! (Out of breath)

XANDER: (Holds Anya) Honey, calm down, where’s the kids?

ANYA: Three… People came in, grabbed Chad, Liz, and Tally,. Knocked me out.

TARA: Oh god!



Cut to an abandoned barn, Tally is chained to the wall. Liz and Chad are in a jail type cell in the corner. The barn has one entrance, and no windows. About 10 people are around.



STEVE: (Pours Water on Tally to wake her up)

TALLY: (Opens her eyes in shock) Oh my god!

STEVE: Good to see you to, old friend.

TALLY: But you’re dead?

STEVE: Not so much. (Grins) I have a new life now Tally, one that I’ve been trying very hard for a while to get you to join, but your so stubborn. (Looks back at Liz and Chad) But now I’ve got some motivation for you!

TALLY: I don’t understand?

STEVE: When you killed Alex I was impressed, but he was just a puppet, sure he thought he ran the show, but I watched and learned from him. I know your weakness I’ve studied them, I know you better then you know yourself.

TALLY: How are you alive?

STEVE: (Grins) After the crash, I was close to dead, this girl was in the hospital said she had an offer for me, and all the pain would go away, now I’m immortal, for a while I was lost, I didn’t know what was going on, then I met Alex, he found out I had known you, and the rest is history.

TALLY: We where friends man! And you’ve set me up!

STEVE: It was easy really, get some of my followers who were good with the psychic side to tap into your dreams, place a few bloody clothes here and their, and a few mean thoughts in your brain, and boom you think your changing. (Grins) The only thing is you didn’t fall into it as easily as I had planed. (Grabs Tally’s face) That has been a problem, I need you for to give me the power of the ring, and then the world will be mine!

TALLY: You’ll have to kill me!

STEVE: See that doesn’t work for me! You have to give it to me of your own free will; I researched the ancient prophecies about your specific ring, even though those idiots that used the power for supposed good, had a system figured out, it wasn’t’ the correct one! In ancient times, ring barriers where chosen by the ring wearier, and right before their death they would place the ring on the other person finger, and boom the power was transferred. So you see, (Cuts Tally’s face) You are just going to have to give me your ring!

TALLY: (Spits on Steve’s face) Never!

STEVE: (Wipes the spit off) Oh I wouldn’t say never! (Looks at Liz) Bring them in!



A few of the vampires bring Buffy, Faith, Dawn, Willow, Tara, Anya and Xander in and chain them against the wall.



FAITH: You stupid bitch! You’re not going to chain me up! (Tries to hit the girl Vampire)

BUFFY: I think they just did?

FAITH: (Shoots Buffy a look)

LIZ: Mom! Mama!

TARA: Baby!

WILLOW: Honey, it’ll be ok!

STEVE: (Walks to Willow) I wouldn’t’ make promise I can’t keep!

WILLOW: (Shocked) How?

STEVE: You know I just don’t feel like telling the story again! (Looks at Dawn) Why you look so pretty! (Glances at Tally) Good enough to eat!

TALLY: You son of a bitch! Leave her alone! (Tries to pull out of the chains)

STEVE: (Walks over to Tally) Um something’s never change! Your weakness is still her! (Hits Tally in the stomach) Well, lets see how much you can take! (Looks at one vamp) Lets have some fun!



One of the vampires brings over a tub filled with water. They place it in front of Tally.



STEVE: Now, lets see how long you can hold your breath! (Pulls Tally’s face into the water)

TARA: (Tries to do a spell)

VAMPIRE: (Hits Tara) Those chains seal magic!

WILLOW: (Tries to get to the vampire that hit Tara) I swear when I get out of these your SO dead! Again!

STEVE: (Pulls Tally’s face up) (Laughing) Um looks like your part fish! (Puts her head back under)

TALLY: (Pulls head up and spits out water) (Manages to elbow Steve)

STEVE: Bitch! (Throws Tally against the wall) (Starts hitting her) I bet I can take more then you can!

TALLY: (Spits out blood) I wouldn’t bet on it!

TARA: He’s going to kill her!

WILLOW: We’ll figure something out!

FAITH: (Pulling on her chains) If I could just get out of these damn chains!

STEVE: (Pulls on Tally’s ring hand) Come on just say the word! All this will be over!

TALLY: (Clenches her hand into a fist) I’ll… (Having trouble talking) Never…

STEVE: What is that? Is the little head injury acting up? (Hits Tally in the face) Um maybe I can help it out!

FAITH: (Chains come undone) Huh?

LIZ: (Smiling) Tally taught me that!

FAITH: (Looks at Willow) Don’t ever get on to her again for doing magic! (Snaps Buffy’s chain then runs over to Steve) Hey! (Hits him) Pick on someone your own size!

STEVE: What the hell? (Looks around to notice all the Scooby gang is loose and fighting with his Vamps)

ANYA: (Stakes a Vamp guarding the kids) No one puts my son in a cage!

STEVE: (Looks at Tally) Looks like where going to have to hurry!

FAITH: (Hits him) What’d I tell you?

STEVE: (Puts on his vamp face) All right slayer lets do this!

FAITH: Yeah, lets! (Starts to fight with Steve)



Cut to Buffy fighting with a vamp, it pins her on the ground.



FAITH: (Turns her head for a second to see this) Buffy!

STEVE: (Grins, bites Faith)

WILLOW: (Does a spell that sends Steve flying backwards)

FAITH: (Falls to the ground)

VAMP: (Hits Willow and she goes back, faints)

TARA: Willow! (Gets knocked out)

ANYA: Oh no! (Tries to fend off a vampire but gets knocked out)

STEVE: (Goes in front of Tally) Looks like your friends aren’t that strong anymore! Must be old age! Something you and I won’t have to worry about! (Hits Tally)

BUFFY: (Knocks the vamp off of her, then starts fighting with another one)

XANDER: Buffy! Behind… (A vampire hits Xander over the head) Ouch! (Falls over)

CHAD: Dad! (Looks at Liz) We gotta do something Liz!

DAWN: (Tries to open the latch on the kids cage) Come on open!

VAMP: (Knocks Dawn out)

TALLY: Dawn! (Looks at Steve with one eye shut from bruising)

STEVE: (Hits Tally again) Come on all your friends are going to die if you don’t do what I want!

BUFFY: I wouldn’t bet on it! (Hits Steve)

STEVE: (Looks around and all of his vampires are dust) My god! I guess your stronger then you look.

BUFFY: I get that a lot! (Hits Steve again)

STEVE: (Laughs) Still won’t change anything! (Hits Buffy with a lot of force that knocks her out) Well, guess you weren’t that strong! (Looks at Tally) Just me and you now!

SARA: Guess again! (Hits Steve)

STEVE: Who the hell are you?

SARA: (Holds up hand to show a ring like Tally’s) A friend! (Sara and Steve start to fight)

STEVE: I must say your good! But I didn’t know there was another ring barrier?

SARA: Yeah what can I say; I’m the surprise in the bunch!

STEVE: (Pins Sara) Well, you might make a good addition to my clan! Seeing as I have to start over and everything! (Goes to bite Sara, but starts to float) What the hell?

LIZ: (Looks like she’s concreting hard)



The Scooby gang starts to stir.



SARA: (Stakes Steve)

STEVE: (Turns to dust)

DAWN: (Gets up and goes to Tally) Tally… Baby are you ok? (Touches Tally’s face)

TALLY: (Coughs up some blood) Yeah… Never better! (Half way grins)

TARA: (Unlocks the kids)

LIZ: Mama! Did you see? (Hugs Tara)

TARA: (Hugs Liz back) Yes baby I saw!

WILLOW: (Hugs Liz and Tara)

FAITH: (Breaks the chains on Tally) Gee kid you don’t look so good?

TALLY: (Tries to smile) You look (coughs) a little beat up your self!

BUFFY: (Comes over) Here let me help! (Lets Tally lean on her)

FAITH: (Looks at Sara) Guess you’re a good guy huh?

SARA: (Grins) Something like that.

ANYA: (Notices her ring) Hey! Your rings the same as Tally’s?

SARA: The people that took Tally in did steal the ring, just not from V and the rest of that gang. They stole it from my people. We originally had two rings, the duo would stick together to fight evil, that’s why Tally and I where paired together when we were younger, to get a common bound. Then she was taken away along with the rings we were to receive on our 16th birthdays. My guardian was able to retrieve mine but never could get Tally or her ring back.

TALLY: So the prophecy Steve was talking about is true? Then why were we going to get the ring on our 16th birthday? If someone had to give us the ring when they died?

SARA: Your parents chose you and I, but it’s strictly stated if the barrier dies before the person is of age, a guardian must be put in place and the rings kept in a safe place till the proper time.

TALLY: (Looks at her ring) My parents.

SARA: Yes.

TALLY: So I never was evil?

SARA: (Grins) No! Mind control, that’s all they used.

TALLY: (Almost falls over)

FAITH: (Grabs the side Buffy doesn’t have) Hang on kid, we’ll get you home.



Cut to Tally’s hospital room. Dawn is sitting on a stool besides Tally’s bed.



DAWN: I’m so glad your ok. (Holds Tally’s hand)

TALLY: Me to baby… Me to. (Kisses Dawn) Now we can start planning our wedding!

DAWN: (Looks surprised) You mean it?

TALLY: Yeah, I do.

DAWN: (Kisses Tally)



Liz, Tara and Willow walk into the room.



WILLOW: (Coughs)

TALLY: (Pulls away and smiles at the group) Hey guys.

TARA: How you feeling?

TALLY: Like I got beat up by a vampire? (Smiles)

WILLOW: (Grins) Someone wanted to come say hi. (Looks at Liz)

TALLY: Hey squirt!

LIZ: (Doesn’t say anything)

TALLY: (Looks confused)

TARA: She’s was afraid you weren’t coming home, so we figured the best thing was for her to see you.

TALLY: Oh. (Looks sad) Come here. (Holds her arms out for Liz) (Liz hops onto the bed) Can I have a minute with her guys?

WILLOW: Sure, we’ll be right out side.

DAWN: (Kisses Tally’s forehead) I’ll go with them, see you in a bit.

TALLY: Ok.



Tara, Willow and Dawn walk out of the room.



LIZ: (Finally says something) Are you really feeling better?

TALLY: Yeah I am.

LIZ: I’m sorry. (Puts her head down)

TALLY: For what?

LIZ: I couldn’t help more, you got hurt.

TALLY: (Smiles at Liz) I don’t know if I told you, but I’m so proud of you! What you did well it was very brave.

LIZ: It was?

TALLY: Oh yeah!

LIZ: All I did was float that guy, I wish I knew more!

TALLY: How about this, we’ll start from the beginning to know things magically. Then neither one of us will get in trouble for having you doing advanced spells from mama?

LIZ: (Hugs Tally) I love you!

TALLY: (Makes a face of pain) (Hugs Liz back) I love you to squirt!

LIZ: (Pulls away) Can I have your jello?

TALLY: (Grins) Sure!

Email: TaraWillowfan21@aol.com

Feedback: Yes Please I’d Love To Have Feedback

Rating: R for violence.







Setting: Flower shop, Tally is looking around with Dawn.



DAWN: What do you think?

TALLY: (Off in her own little world)

DAWN: (Hits Tally’s arm) Hey, you listening?

TALLY: The red one’s fine?

DAWN: (Rolls her eyes) I swear if you’re not going to take this seriously… (Starts to walk off) I mean this is going to be the most important day of our lives! It’s a stepping-stone! It has to be perfect, perfect flowers, perfect music, and perfect… (Cut off by Tally)

TALLY: Perfect honeymoon?

DAWN: (Grins) That to.

TALLY: Baby, I was listening but we’ve been in here for like a million hours my brain can only tolerate flowers half a million hours!

DAWN: What if I promise to make it up to you later?

TALLY: Yeah?

DAWN: There could be outfits.

TALLY: IN that case what are we still standing here for we have flowers to pick out! (Starts looking at the flowers again)





Cut to Liz’s bedroom, she’s trying to read a book. Tara walks in.



TARA: What are you doing baby?

LIZ: Trying to read this book! But it’s hard. (Puts her head down)

TARA: (Sits by Liz) Well honey, I think (Looks at the book) Star Trek Voyager may be a bit tough for you?

LIZ: But Tally reads it!

TARA: (Smiles) Well why don’t you get her to help you?

LIZ: She’s not here. (Pouts)

TARA: She’s just busy right now you know that.

LIZ: I like un busy Tally she had more time for me!

TARA: (Hugs Liz)



Cut to Buffy’s house. She and Willow are talking.



BUFFY: I cant’ believe it’s costing this much! I mean hello that much for a cake is just plan wrong!

WILLOW: Well since you’re the one who offered to help them pay!

BUFFY: Yeah, well I thought hey ‘city hall’ you know?

WILLOW: (Shoots Buffy a “Not funny” look)

BUFFY: Ok… Ok… So what’s the next thing we have to worry about?

ANYA: (Walks into the room) Honeymoon! I want to plan that!!

WILLOW: (Shakes her head) Anya they already decided they didn’t’ want a Honeymoon until the summer time.

ANYA: That’s just ungodly err ungoddessly? Whatever! It’s just wrong! And what’s with the Christmas wedding, Christmas is a time for gifts not a time for weddings!

WILLOW: They want to give their hearts to each other I think it’s a wonderful idea.

BUFFY: Romance, it’s overrated!

FAITH: Glad to know how you really feel B! (Walks up behind Buffy)

BUFFY: I didn’t mean with you! I just meant with pricey weddings!

FAITH: Well I’ll remember that you want a cheep wedding just in case I’m ever in need…

BUFFY: OH No! We will…. Um ok point taken.



Cut to Tara and Willow’s kitchen.



TALLY: (Walks in the front door) Anyone home?

TARA: (Sticks her head out of the kitchen) Hey honey.

TALLY: (Walks up and hugs Tara) What’s up?

TARA: The sky? (Laughs) Nothing.

TALLY: (Sits on a bar stool) Making anything yummy?

TARA: Maybe. (Grins)

TALLY: Well then ‘maybe’ I’ll want a sample.

TARA: Where’s Dawn?

TALLY: She went to Buffy’s something she called her about final plans or something not sure I just say point me in the place to say I do and I’m happy.

TARA: So you have the afternoon free?

TALLY: Yeah why?

TARA: Well I kinda know someone who has missed you.

TALLY: (Grins)



Cut to the park where Tally is pushing Liz on a swing.



LIZ: This is so cool! Mama was right you push the best!

TALLY: It’s the super strength kid’o.

LIZ: Can I have super strength?

TALLY: (Thinks for a moment) You already do!

LIZ: (Looks shocked) Really?

TALLY: Yup, strength of the all mighty heart, destine to love everyone!

LIZ: (Giggles) Your silly.

TALLY: Oh no I’m not!

LIZ: (Makes the swing stop)

TALLY: What’s wrong?

LIZ: (Looks up at Tally) When Dawn and you get married you’ll move out of the house wont’ you?

TALLY: Yes. (Picks Liz up and sits on the Swing with her now in her lap)

LIZ: (Looks a little sad)

TALLY: What’s wrong squirt?

LIZ: It’s just I don’t’ want to loose you as a sister.

TALLY: Why would you loose me?

LIZ: Well I heard some kids talking at school, and when their older sister got married they moved away and now they never see them and they have new families.

TALLY: Oh no sweetie! I’ll always be your family! And I’m not moving away either… Well not to far away, we’ll probably get an apartment after Dawn and I get through with College.

LIZ: So you won’t get a new family?

TALLY: Afraid you’ll always be stuck with me kid’o.

LIZ: Promise?

TALLY: Promise!

LIZ: (Hugs Tally) Swing me again?

TALLY: Of course!



Cut to Dawn’s dorm room. Tally is studying some stuff at the desk when Dawn walks in the door.



DAWN: I swear Buffy is a cheep skate!

TALLY: Hello to you to!

DAWN: I don’t know how she pays the bills with the “I think that cost too much attitude”!

TALLY: (Laughs)

DAWN: You think this is funny?

TALLY: Yeah actually very!

DAWN: (Half grins at Tally) Fine! Laugh!

TALLY: Ok! (Smiles)

DAWN: (Sits on Tally’s lap) Hi.

TALLY: Hi.

DAWN: (Kisses Tally) How was your afternoon?

TALLY: Good, I took Liz to the park then we made wishes at the wising well.

DAWN: Oh really? Any good ones?

TALLY: Only the best!

DAWN: Like?

TALLY: Well I can’t tell you, cause then you know they wouldn’t come true.

DAWN: Oh come on you don’t believe in that fairy tale stuff do you?

TALLY: Dawn hello! We live in Sunnydale!

DAWN: Oh right, almost forgot! (Laughs)



Cut to Willow and Tara’s bedroom. Willow is lying on the bed; Tara is brushing her hair in the Bathroom.



WILLOW: So Liz is doing better now?

TARA: Yeah all she needed was from TLC from Tally, she missed her.

WILLOW: I can understand that. I mean she’s so young even if she is very smart for her age.

TARA: (Sits on the bed beside Willow) Your worried about them?

WILLOW: Who?

TARA: Don’t ‘who’ me.

WILLOW: Yeah I’m worried about them, I mean I know they love each other but they’re so young you think their ready for this?

TARA: We were young once, did you think we where ready?

WILLOW: That’s different it was us.

TARA: I’m sure Dawn and Tally feel the same way baby.

WILLOW: (Kisses Tara) How do you always do that?

TARA: What?

WILLOW: Make me feel better.

TARA: Magic. (Smiles)

WILLOW: (Kisses Tara)

TARA: Maybe we should lock the door?

WILLOW: (Starts to get up)

LIZ: (Walks in the door) Will you guys read me a story?

WILLOW: (Half grins) Thought you were asleep missy?

LIZ: I was mommy but I woke up and wanted to know what happens next! (Holds up her Star Trek book)

WILLOW: (Notices the book) Star Trek?

TARA: It’s Tally’s she’s helping her with it.

LIZ: Yeah but she won’t be back till tomorrow and I tried to read some but I can’t, will you help me?

WILLOW: (Picks up Liz) Of course baby! (Lays Liz between her and Tara then crawls into the bed) Ok Ch. 10… “Captain’s Log, Stardate 48315.6…”

LIZ: What’s a stardate?

WILLOW: Um it’s Star Trek time baby.

LIZ: Oh (Smiles) Ok next?

WILLOW: (Starts to read again) “Janeway cycled through the images on the data padd as it lay unprotesting on her desk. Picking it up seemed too much effort at such a late hour. Besides, that would require lifting her head off her other fist and actually sitting upright, which was not part of the bargain she’d made with her body for tonight” (Looks at Tara) I can so relate to that! I mean all the Scooby Meetings, and homework, I can so relate to Janeway!

LIZ: Mommy I didn’t’ think Scooby meetings were in the book?

WILLOW: (Blushes) Sorry lost track for a second

TARA: (Smiles at Willow) Only a second?

WILLOW: Ok back to the book… (Starts to read out loud again)



Cut to the gym where Sara and Tally are working out.



SARA: Only one more week of freedom what will you do with your time?

TALLY: Plan the wedding?

SARA: Didn’t think you were allowed to help?

TALLY: (Looks hurt) I can pick colors!

SARA: (Laughs) Oh that’s right the color picker! I knew you had an important job!!

TALLY: Shut up! (Laughs)

SARA: Hey I got a couple of bikes really cheep the other day, but I need some help fixing them you game?

TALLY: Only if you let me ride when they’re done?

SARA: (Acts like she’s thinking) I guess. (Smiles)

TALLY: Well then I “guess” I’ll help you. (Grins)

SARA: Good cause then we can ride them for your party.

TALLY: Party? What party?

SARA: The party I’m planning for you last three days of freedom.

TALLY: It’s going to take three days?

SARA: Yeah so we’d better get the bikes finished huh?

TALLY: I’m not sure Dawn is going to like this?

SARA: That’s the whole point of the party, it’s before you have to care what the Misses wants! (Pats Tally on the back) Relax what’s the worst that could happen?

TALLY: Must I remind everyone we live in Sunnydale?? I swear it’s like your asking for trouble!

SARA: Not unless you call strippers trouble?

TALLY: (Grins) There not trouble but they can get you into trouble?

SARA: Look and no touch!
