Tara was similarly riveted, her body on slow burn as Willow's lips parted and her mouth opened, the food slipping inside and being consumed. Never in her life had Tara ever wanted to be a chicken casserole so badly...Later that night..."It's good to be a chicken casserole," Tara murmured, before passing out. ~ Answering Darkness by Sassette

Terrific Update! That's the best way to kick stupid Warren's ass or something else in this case.

Tara:"Maybe we dreamed it."

Willow:"Right. Right. Wrong! (points at her head ) Different Brains." Tara:"Oh yeah."


Can we just skip it? Can...can you just be kissing me now?

Great update. Glad Tara didn't know her own strength

Sorry folks no update



There will be a delay because my RL has unraveled into a disorganized mess

(its usualy a very organized mess)



Hopefuly I will have an up date by Thursday or Friday

Maybe sooner if I'm sneeky



Special thanks to my mother for the line

"The names TARA………BITCH!"

My mom has called Warren a bitch since the first time she saw him.

While watching Warren brag at the bar about killing Buffy my mom said" You didnt kill Buffy, You killed TARA............BITCH" and I was able to laugh for a little and not feel like the world was comming to an end.



So Thanks mom



And thank you Kittens

You make the Hard days easier to get through

Yey, go tara!

im really enjoying this fic, keep up the good work.

CJ

God created woman and she had three breasts. He then asked the woman, "Is there anything you'd like to have changed?"

She replied yes, you could get rid of this middle breast?"

And so it was done and it was good.

Then the women exclaimed as she was holding the third breast in her hand, "What can be done with this useless boob?"

And God created man.

[willntlover]

Well i think it's neat that Tara is a bot. Coz' now she has like strenght and stuff. that would be cool to have in SD. Plus that means she could teach willow about wicca, and willow could be the magic chick (i'm not saying that that's what you're going to do, it's just that's what spruing into my head )



I really like how you wrote Tara with the raging emotions.



Tell your mom thanks for the line, it was totally cool

[Shinnen]

Unity... you're definitely on the same track as I am... a love scene would definitely be a very welcomed... um... addition to your already very amusing fic. Tara calling Warren a bitch... ... your mom rocks!



I loved the part where Tara kicks Warren in his groin thus disabling little Warrens from ever roaming the buffy universe... heh heh... definitely got me laughing out loud.

Greetings Kittens,



First some quick responces

Then the next part of Body and Soul



Xita: You honor me with your presance in this thread.

Maybe this will help with your disconfort with tara as a bot.

Inside She is 100%Tara. Physically she has many more human traits then Buffybot so far we have seen her cry, bleed, and feel pain.



Shinnen: I'm glad you're enjoying my little story

I might have to disapoint you on thet love scene. I'm not sure if I can do a W&T love scene justice.



Everyone Else: Thank you







A quick note: The demon Anya refers to is an orginal character from anoyther fic I am writing. Any resemblance to any living person is purely coincidence...really

Buffy and Xander continued to stare at Tara. Buffys Face hardened as her slayer enhanced vision picked out the metal in Taras arm. Warren lay on the ground alternating between crying and moaning. No one paid him much attention



“I….um…H-hi guys” Tara said nervously before turning to check on Willow



“Wha…ahh…….Huh?” Xander said intelligently, glancing form Tara to Buffy searching for answers.



“is it gone?” Anya ask from behind a group of trees.



“Xander, take Anya and get the police.” Buffy said quickly “and an ambulance” She added seeing Willow.



“But that’s…..” Xander started but was cut off by Buffy



“No, it’s not. Go. NOW!” Buffy ordered



Xander turned and headed in the direction of Anyas voice.



“Is it gone?” Anya repeated



“Is what gone?” Said a confused Xander.



“The demon, is it gone?” Anya asked, becoming aggravated.



“There is no demon” Xander answered



“Are you sure? I thought I heard the feminine sounding howl of a J`ossWeh demon.”



“Oh, that was Warren.” Xander said. As they walked through the woods towards his car.



“Good” Anya said, relived. “I hate J`ossWeh demons, They make you think your dreams have come true, then turn them into nightmares” Anya explained.



“ Well we definitely have one loose in Sunnydale then. Are they hard to beat?” Xander asked glad to be having a conversation with Anya. Even if it was about demons.



“No, their only power is to play with peoples emotions, and once you realize what they’re doing they become powerless.” Anya said with a smile. “Oh yeah, they’re also deathly afraid of kittens.” Anya stated as they faded from

View.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Buffy was crouched over a pleading Warren. From the looks of his face she had just punched him in his already broken nose.



“No..NO! ppplease…I’m sorry…please no more….oh god…someone help..plea….” Warren cried



“Oh, just shut up already” Buffy said knocking him unconscious.



Tara was kneeling next to Willow gently stroking her hair.



“Please honey, wake up. I n-need your help.” Tara pleaded I need you to help me convince Buffy it‘s me



“Get away from her.” Buffy said coldly.



Tara stood and faced Buffy, holding her hands up in front of her in a nonaggressive manner.



“W-w-wait Buffy, I c-can explain.” Tara said taking a step backwards.



“You can explain?” Buffy said getting angry. “ Well then tell me, what’s Warrens plan now. To drive me crazy using a robot that looks like one of MY BEST FRIENDS?” She started walking towards Tara ‘No better yet, why don’t you tell me why he had it out for me so bad, HE CAME AFTER ME WITH A GUN, ALMOST KILLING ME, AND TAKING AWAY THE SWEETEST PERSON I’VE EVER KNOWN IN THE PROCESS!!!!!!” Tara and Buffy were nose to nose now.



Tara took a deep breath. “Buffy, there’s no easy w-way to say this. I AM Tara. Somehow my soul ended up in this body” Please believe me



Buffy took a step back in shock.



Then she attacked in full slayer mode.



Buffy swung right hook at Taras head. Tara ducked.

Buffy tried a leg sweep. Tara jumped.

Buffy attempted a roundhouse, Tara blocked.



They continued like this for several minutes. Buffy was letting lose with every thing she had, and couldn’t hit her mark. Tara had blocked or dodged all of Buffys best moves, but she refused to make an aggressive move herself.

The trees on the other hand, had taken a lot of Buffys missed attacks. They now looked like someone had attempted to chop them down with a sledgehammer.



Wow this is amazing. Its like I see the moves coming in slo-mo and can move before they get here Thought Tara.



This is crazy. Its just too fast. Luckily it hasn’t tried to hit back yet. Maybe Warren didn’t program it to fight, just not to get hit. Buffy thought as she began to get tired. I can’t do this much longer



Buffy changed her fighting strategy, deliberately leaving openings to see if Tara would attack. After ten more minutes of Buffy attacking and Tara blocking Buffy was exhausted. She stopped her attacks completely and rested her hands on her knees, breathing heavily she just stared at Tara.



She…I mean It just doesn’t want to fight me. This can’t really be Tara can it? Maybe I should let her explain. Thought Buffy, as she looked Tara over.



“Are w-we done fighting” Tara asked uncertainly. Then she added “Are you ok?”



“Who me? I’ fine. No problems here.” Buffy said walking over to a tree and leaning against it, trying to look casual instead of worn out. “So… you said your really Tara. Convince me. Tell me stuff Tara would know.” Buffy said.



“Ok. You and Spi…” Tara began, but was cut short as Buffy added. ”And not stuff Warren and his buddies could have seen on Geek Vision.



“Um…….. How about the secret to funny shaped pancakes?” Tara said with a smile.

Summary: Tara was shot, But that’s nowhere near enough to keep her from her willow. Besides this is Sunnydale no one stays dead here

Notes: All character thoughts are in italics. All character speech is in ”quotations” scene/ location change ~~~~~~~





“...……..and that’s about the time you and Xander showed up.” Tara said. She had just told Buffy everything that had happened since she had been shot. Tara had also told Buffy several things about her time with the Scoobies, and some things about her childhood that only Willow knew for Buffy to confirm later. Warren had awoke twice during Tara and Buffys talk, but each time Buffy had used her fist to administer a dose of Slayer anesthetic.



Buffy was still leaning against the tree. Tara was sitting on the ground with Willows head and shoulders resting across her lap. She had been stroking willows hair as she spoke.



It’s Tara. Oh my god IT’S TARA!!! Buffy thought with a grin. whoa gota slow down, talk to Wills first. But I know it's her. She's too Tara like not to be Tara. Besides who else could make THAT outfit work. Buffys grin became a full blown smile.



“I just don’t understand how Warren could n-know enough to build a robotic double of me and um.. still get my name wrong” Tara said with a laugh.



Buffy looked at Tara for a second and then let out a small laugh. Then she let out a large laugh, fallowed by a huge laugh.



“It wasn’t that funny Buffy………..was it?” Asked Tara.



Buffy stopped laughing, took a deep breath, and pulled herself together……..then began to laugh hysterically.



“Buffy are you ok?” Tara asked, fighting the urge to join Buffys laughter.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Xander hung up the payphone and turned to face Anya, who was sitting on the hood of his car.

They had driven about a quarter mile down the road from the spot they were parked in earlier in search of a payphone.



“The cops are on the way, we have to wait here so we can show them the right place” Xander said, as he leaned against the car.



“Are you ever going to tell me what Willow did to Warren, I couldn’t see from where I was hiding.” Anya asked



“I………………” Xander was at a loss for words



After waiting to see if Xander was going to continue Anya tried a different approach.



“Ok.. I’m going to guess. If I get it right you just nod or something.” Anya said with a smile.



“Did she boil his eyeballs?…………….Did she infest his body cavities with locus? ……………Did she remove all his non vital organs through his nostrils? …………..Did she replace……



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Taras willpower held for about 25 seconds before she had joined in Buffys laughter. The two of them together had been so infectious that even Willow had chuckled in her sleep, causing Tara and Buffy to laugh even harder. When the laughter died down both women realized that the tension of earlier was gone. Buffy was now laying on the ground having been unable to laugh and stand at the same time. Buffy decided to tell Tara exactly what she was thinking.



“ I believe you Tara” Buffy said as she sat up. “I know I should wait till I check things with Willow, but I feel in my heart that your telling me the truth” Buffy got to her feat and started to brush the dirt and leaves off her clothes.



“Thank you Buffy, that means……”



Suddenly there was a loud creak fallowed by a louder snap as a battered tree broke in the middle. Sending the top half crashing toward Buffy.



“Buffy, LOOK OUT!” Tara yelled.



Tara saw that Buffy couldn’t move in time and did the first thing that came to mind.



“ABSTENTIO!*” Tara said, raising her hand towards the tree.



Tara mentally kicked herself when she realized that bots cant do spells. She closed her eyes not wanting to see Buffy hurt.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Back at the payphone Xander and Anya were still waiting. Anya was still listing the many terrible thing the thought Willow might have done to Warren. Xander wasn’t responding, he just stared strait ahead lost in thought.



How could things get this bad . Tara’s gone. Willow’s lost it. Anya’s a demon again. And now there’s a super strong ‘not’ Tara thing running around. And that’s just the stuff that happened today. What’s next another apocalypse? Xander pulled himself from his thought before total depression sunk in He returned his attention to what Anya was saying.



“……with his genitals for him to scream like that.” Anya said with a smile. The last time I heard a man make that sound was about 90 years ago. His wife wished his testicles were filled with molten lava.” Anya began to giggle at the memory.



“Willow didn't do anything to Warren” Xander said quietly.



“You just don’t want to tell me. Do you hate seeing me happy that much?” Anya said, her mood quickly changing.



“It was…..well it looked like…but Buffy said it wasn’t…but it sure looked like …..Tara.” Xander said in a jumble.



“Tara!” Anya gasped. “Get in the car. We’re going back.” Anya demanded



“But An, we have to….”Xander was cut off.



“Silly me, I forgot I have my powers” Anya said pointing at her amulet. “You wait here” She said and vanished



“Okay, then, I'll just.…..wait here.” Xander said. Then suddenly punched his car in frustration.



He winces and rubs his hand. ”Wonder when that ambulance is going to get here?”



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~







Tara waited, eyes shut, for the crash. Then she felt the familiar rush of magic flow through her. Taras eyes snapped open to a welcome yet shocking sight. The tree half was floating about seven feet above the ground. Underneath it stood Buffy looking up with amazement.



“Um…Buffy I don’t know w-why this works, but I don’t trust it to keep working” Tara said quickly.



“Oh……….OH! Sorry.” Buffy said swiftly moving out from under the tree.



“LIBERATIO.*” Tara said, still unsure how the spell had worked.



The tree crashed to the ground. There was a snap and a groan as part of it landed on Warrens leg, breaking it. Before either Tara or Buffy could respond they were interrupted by Anyas voice as she appeared next to Tara.



“So are you Tara or not?” Asked Anya.









To Be Continued………….



* I used an online translator for the words ABSTENTIO and LIBERATIO they should mean Hold and Release in Latin. Does anyone know if that's correct?

Hi everyone,



I haven't had a chance to work on the next chapter yet, but I'll hopefully have something by tuesday or wensday.



I do have time to make a few comments though.



Ok, I admit it, the J`ossWeh demons are real, but don't worry they're scared of Kittens





funkyasian: Warren just has bad Karma.The universe is out to get him. It probably wont get any better for him.

Poor Warren



I have the end to this story all planed out in my head, and we are getting closer to that point.



With that in mind a have a question for everyone.



Is anybody intrested in seeing a ongoing series of stories based on this one. I don't know when I would start, and the updates would only be about once a week because I suddenly have no free time, but if you guys want to see it I would love to write it. So let me know ok.



Thanks again for all the kind words everyone.

Buffy was busy trying to clean up all signs of the struggle, to make her story about her, Willow, and Xander ‘Just happening to find a murder suspect knocked out near a broken tree‘ more believable to the police. Tara had moved Willow to the other side of the clearing, and had just finished filing Anya in on the events of the day.



”….But I h-honestly didn’t mean to hit him that hard.” Said Tara, with a slight grin. She was cradling Willow’s sleeping form. Willow had mumbled in her sleep and shifted positions a few times, but seem content to sleep forever in Taras arms. Even if they were on the ground in the woods.



“Well, he deserved it anyway,” Anya said confidently. “ You want me to hold him up, so you can do it again?”



“Um.. No thank you. I just want to sit here with Willow for a while.” Tara said as she began to stroke Willows hair again.



“mm na fraid ah you frogs nemore, I’ve ma magic sweater.” Willow said in her sleep, making Tara laugh.



“Oh no! She’s casting a spell on me” Anya squeaked, as she tried to hide behind Buffy, who was also laughing.



“Anya, calm down. She’s not casting, she dreaming.” Buffy said, as she walked away from Anya to place a broken branch in a more natural position.



“But she…”



“Buffy’s right.” Tara interrupted ”Willow simply said….I’m not afraid of you frogs anymore, I have my magic sweater” Tara added, in her best Willow-voice.



“Oh ok.” Anya said.

”I am sorry I over reacted, I will try not to do so in the future” she added, remembering to be polite. ”Does she really have a magic sweater?”



“Um…it’s not really magic.” Tara responded. “It’s an antifrog sweater,. Its pink with a green frog, and it has one of those red circle slash thingies, like the no smoking signs. I bought it for her, because she was having these nightmares…….”



Buffy lost the rest of the conversation as she became caught up in watching Tara.



Bad Slayer. How could I not believe that was Tara? Buffy thought to herself.

There’s no way anyone could program emotion like that, I can almost feel her love for Willow from here.

They have a beautiful, miraculous love! They almost lost each other. I almost lost them both.



“Guys…I’m gona go…um…Make sure there’s no vamps lurking around” Buffy quickly wiped her eyes before anyone could see her tears.

“Keep an eye on Warren, and give a yell if you need me” She said as she grabbed the discarded ax and dashed into the Trees.



“Ok Buffy, be careful.” Tara said



“Yeah, don’t get killed. Bye.” Said Anya “Tara, since you’re a robot, does that big gash on your arm hurt. Speaking of that why are you bleeding? Buffybot didn’t bleed when she…………”



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



It was very rare for the Sunnydale Police Department to get a homicide case that didn’t end up in the ‘special’ file.

Now, not only did they have a suspect, they had a possible location for that suspect. All the officers in the building had crowded around the dispatch desk waiting for a report from the responding officers, who were on their way to the scene. Because of that preoccupation, no one had noticed the previous struggle in the holding cell, or the conversation that was going on now.



Jonathan was crouched over Andrew, fist raised about to punch him.



“You are so gona regret this when, Warren comes to save me” Andrew said .



“When are you going to wake up, he’s not coming. Even if he wanted to, he can’t take on the whole police force” Jonathan shot back.



“Maybe he can’t, but his bots can.” Andrew replied smugly .



“Oh great, Warren and his army of sex toys to the rescue!” Jonathan said sarcastically, as he let Andrew up and took a seat on a bench.



“No not those bots. Warren and I made some new ones, completely different design.” Said Andrew as he stood.



“These bots are completely undetectable. They can sweat, bleed, eat, sleep, and various other things to avoid suspicion. They‘re stronger and faster than the originals, and also have night vision, and infrared vision, along with a bunch of hidden weapons. We constructed…..”



“When you say WE you mean Warren did all this, while you watched and picked your nose, right?” Jonathan broke in.



“Shut up, Boneboy. What do you know.” Andrew said trying to sound tough .



“Just finish. How many of these new bots did Warren make.” Asked Jonathan.



“WE made eight of them. But only three of them were complete with skin and all. Two of those look like the Slayers friends. We were gona have them take her out.” Andrew began to pace back and forth.



“The Slayers friends? What ones?” asked Jonathan.



“Xander and Keri. But Keribot wasn’t programmed yet cause we couldn’t find out anything about her.” Answered Andrew.



“Who’s Keri? “ Jonathan said with a look of confusion.



“Keri McLain. Blond hair. Hangs with Willow.” Andrew said, in explanation.



“Do you mean Tara?” Jonathan Asked, sounding agitated.



“Ok sorry. Teri McLain. Geez. Whats it matter to you?” Said Andrew, rolling his eyes.



“Tara. TARE-UH. And I think you got her last name wrong too.” Jonathan corrected.



“How do YOU know so much about her?” Andrew stood in front of Jonathan trying to look intimidating. “You better tell me.”



“It’s no big deal. I saw Her and Willow at the mall once. Willow introduced us. We hung out for a while.” Said Jonathan.



“TRAITOR!!. You hung out with the enemy. How could you?” Andrew said getting in Jonathans face.



“Shut up.”



“Make me”



“I will.”



“Do it then”



Jonathan tackled Andrew and they began to roll around on the floor.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Buffy walked through the woods. She had went far enough away from the others that she felt alone, but she could still hear them if they needed her.







Buffy stopped and looked up “Hi…um…” God? Gods? Goddesses? Higher beings?



“ Hello.. Higher Power type people, It’s me.…. Buffy. I um.. just wanted to say thank you. You know….for Tara. We really need her. Not just Willow, all of us. Especially me. She’s like this big sister I can count on, and I don’t know what I would have done without her. So thanks, if you need me to save the world or anything, just give me a call or sign or something.”



Buffy heard sirens approaching in the distance, and turned to head back to the clearing. Suddenly she stopped and looked up again.



“Ok. I gota go now. Bye.” She then turned and ran towards her friends.

This fic is great and I'm sorry I did not tell you that sooner. I really liked this last update, especially the part where Buffy thanks the powers that be for bringing Tara back to them. It was really sweet and shows that Tara is more than just a prop for Willow, she is important to all of them. (If only certain writers/producers could understand that).

Tara was similarly riveted, her body on slow burn as Willow's lips parted and her mouth opened, the food slipping inside and being consumed. Never in her life had Tara ever wanted to be a chicken casserole so badly...Later that night..."It's good to be a chicken casserole," Tara murmured, before passing out. ~ Answering Darkness by Sassette

“……. And my shoes are under the bed.” said Tara.



“Ok. Black jeans, red sweater, shoes. That’s everything right?” Said Anya .



Tara confirmed with a nod.



“Be right back.” Anya vanished.



Being the only one awake gave Tara time to think. With a sigh, she began to contemplate how she was going to explain things to Willow.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Xander meanwhile, was deep in thoughts of his own. He sat alone in his car, a look of utter depression was etched into his face. Two police cruisers and an ambulance were fallowing him to the place where he left his friends.



I wonder what’s up with the non-Tara. Is is some kind of shape shifting demon?… Did willow create a magic Tara to torment Warren?…….What was with the lab coat?



“Anya could have at least came back and let me know something.” Xander said to himself.



“XANDER!!” Anya suddenly appeared in the passengers seat, holding Taras clothes. This caused Xander to lose control of the car for a second.



“AAHHH!…What the…? Anya?” Xander paused to collect himself. “Do you remember that talk we had, about the human heart having limits?”



“Yes, but we can talk about sex later. I have something important to tell you.” Replied Anya



“That’s not what I…Never mind. What’s up?” Xander braced himself for bad news.



“Tara came back, well her soul did anyway, and took control of a Tarabot that Warren built. She said to say hi, so HI. I went to Buffys to get her some clothes. Willows still knocked out from the big magic drain. Warrens still out too. And Buffy’s out in the woods looking for vampires to dust.” Anya said, all in one breath.



“Wow…ok…thanks.” Xander was struggling to digest all of what she had said.



“You’re welcome.” Said Anya. Before teleporting she added. “I didn’t know you could drive on the left side in Sunnydale.”



It took a second before Xander realized what she meant. “Oh sh….…”



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Willow, who was showing signs of waking soon, was sitting against the tree her and Tara had been sitting under. Tara was standing in the middle of the clearing between Willow and Warren. She had ripped the sleeves off the lab coat, and was desperately trying to tie one of them around the gash in her right arm with her left hand.



Buffy suddenly came crashing out of the darkness “Tara, we have a problem.”



“I know, I can’t get this tied.” Tara answered, not looking up.



“No bigger than that.” Buffy began to tie it for her. “The police are on their way, and I just realized something.”



“W-what’s w-wrong?” Tara asked. The anxiety in Buffys voice had made her nervous.



“We can’t be here when they get here. I’m supposed to be in intensive care, with a gunshot wound to the chest. And you’re…..um ….well…you know.” Buffy wasn’t very comfortable thinking about where the police would expect Tara to be.



“Oh Goddess. I didn’t know anyone else was hit.” Tara worried. ”You shouldn’t have left the hospital.”



“Tara, I‘m ok. Willow healed me before she went Warren hunting.” Buffy said. Then continued with. “Our problem right now is, if the cops see either one of us, Warren might not pay for his actions.”



“Oh….um We can’t just leave. What’s Xander gona tell the police?” Asked Tara.



“Your right, he probably gave Willow and my names already anyway.” Buffy said, quietly.



“No he didn’t.” Said Anya from behind them. Both Buffy and Tara jumped, not having noticed Anyas return.



“He didn’t give any names. He just said that him and his friend found warren in the woods, then his friend passed out.” Anya continued.



“Good thinking.” Tara said, as she took her clothing from Anya, and ran behind a tree to change. “Thank you Anya”



“Ok, here’s the plan.” Buffy said to Anya. ”Tara and I will take Willow. You lay down over here, and……….”





No one noticed Willow slowly awaken. She looked around, taking in her surroundings. A look of pure hatred covered her face upon seeing Warren. Willow quickly spoke a few words in Latin, causing a whimper from Warren. Suddenly she remembered the moments before losing consciousness, and all thoughts of warren left her mind.



“Tara…..?” Willow called out, as she shakily got to her feet.



“Willow!” Tara answered, hopping from behind the tree, still trying to get her left shoe on.



Tara yanked her shoe on, and they ran to embrace each other. As they showered each other with small kisses, Willow could be heard saying “I thought I’d lost you.” Tara pulled back and looked at Willows face. Blue eyes met green, with a look of undying love and devotion..



“Willow, you will never loose me. Our love will always bring us together again.” Tara said, with conviction. Then she kissed Willow so passionately that even Anya began to blush. Warren groaned in discomfort.



“Um………. Guys. Hello! I hate to break up the reunion, but we have to go. Now!” Buffy said, hearing Xander and the Police approaching.



“Hang on!” Tara told a surprised Willow as she scooped the redhead up into her arms.



As Tara, Willow, and Buffy took off into the night, and Anya laid on the ground pretending to have fainted, Warren let out another groan. The reason for his distress was that for the last few minutes, his unconscious mind had been filled with visions of Katrina. She was teasing and taunting him on every insecurity and moment of guilt he ever had.





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xander was walking through the woods, with two Police officers and two paramedics fallowing close behind him. Every one except Xander had a look of annoyance on their faces.



“Sorry Officers, I know we’re headed in the right direction this time.” Xander couldn’t believe he had gotten lost four times.



“Mr. Harris, if you leading us on a wild goose chase……..”



“No no… I swear, it’s right …” Xander looked around franticly, then seeing a familiar area. “….through here!”



“It better be” responded one of the Officers.



“Yep, this is the spot.” Xander said, as he stepped into the clearing. There’s your prisoner.”



As Xander stared at the fallen tree, trying to figure out what happened, the Police officers and one of the paramedics went over to take a closer look at Warren. The second paramedic went and began to examine Anya



“Is this the young woman you requested the ambulance for?” Asked the paramedic, as he crouched beside Anya.



Xander began his answer before looking. “Yes, that’s my friend….ANYA?”



Seeing his ex-fiancé laying unconscious, Xander feared something had went wrong. He Immediately rushed to her side. “Anya, wake up….please.” Xander said, as he fell to his knees next to her.



Anya shocked both Xander and the paramedic into silence, by opening her eyes and quickly sitting up.



“Anya, what happened?” Asked Xander, once he found his voice.



“Are you having memory loss again?” Anya asked, thinking fast. “Let me remind you. We were walking through the woods, Alone, when we heard a scream. We came to investigate and found Warren, pinned under the tree. The trauma of seeing the man that shot our friends caused me to faint. Remember.”



“Oh yeah. I remember now.” Xander responded, somewhat convincingly.



The Paramedic just shrugged his shoulders and continued to take Anyas pulse.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Willow, Tara, and Buffy had made if out of the woods in record time. Buffy had been amazed at the ease with which Tara had managed to keep up with her, and carry Willow at the same time. Tara and Willow were now walking hand in hand through town, with Buffy beside them, trying to plan their next move.



“So, should we go to straight to The Magic Box, and wait for Xander and Anya? Or do you want to go home first, and meet them later?” Asked Buffy.



“I vote for the Magic Box. Answered Tara.: “What do you think Sweetie?” She asked Willow.



Willow didn’t answer. She was gazing lovingly at Tara. Although her curious mind had many questions. How had Tara come back? Why was she so fast and strong? Who took out Warren? ,Her heart had the only answer she needed This is Tara. She’s here and she’s real. All of her questions could wait. Right now she just wanted to enjoy the moment.



“Willow are you ok?” Tara asked, when Willow didn’t respond.



“Ok? I’m more than ok.” A bright smile covered Willows face. “I couldn’t possibly be any more with the ok. My middle name is Okay. Willow Okay Rosenberg, that’s me. I’m absolutely, positively, one hundred percent giddy with Okayness. I‘m on the train to.….”



Tara quickly kissed Willow, stopping her before she reached full babble mode.



“Yep, most definitely ok.” Willow said as they broke the kiss.



“Oh! Guys I gota go get Dawn from Spi.. I mean Clems crypt” Said Buffy. “Wana tag along?”



“Actually, I need to talk to Willow about something, if you don’t mind going alone.” Tara was not looking forward to this.



Sensing the change in Taras mood, Willow gripped her hand tighter.



“Sure Tara, no problem. Dawn and I will just meet up with you two lovebirds at the Magic Box then. See ya.” Buffy turned and headed towards Spikes place.



Willow and Tara continued to walk in the direction of the shop. Tara was unsure of how Willow would react, but she knew she had to tell her the truth. The sooner the better.



“Willow, there’s something I have to tell you “
