[frau rosenclay]

I love this story so much. It is fun and the characters are so believable. You write them all so well. I particularly enjoy how you write the interaction between everyone, in a group setting. I get so excited when I see that you have updated. !!

[foreverpiper]

Tiggrscorpio: hehe, thanks!



Jennpurr: lol, ahhh, but Miss Jen, pictures may have actually been taken…ya never know… Xander can be veeery sneaky sometimes…



xita: lol, thanks! That was a very enjoyable line to write



The Rose24: Why thank-you kind Rose!



spazz07: I’m glad there’s no complaining. hehe, and pictures are the best dear Nathan. Never go anywhere without a trusty camera! Lord knows I don’t and I’ve gotten many interesting pictures…some of which if my friends found out I took, they’d be liable to kill me.



Loco2: Rufus is the coolest name! And glad I could make ya laugh!



shootingstar: hehe, everyone loves Anya…



snuggle79: Well…you don’t have to love this fic…but then again, I’m not complaining.



fidds: hehe, thanks! I’m just worried the next parts won’t live up to your guy’s expectations…don’t wanna disappoint…



frau rosenclay: Well I’m glad you love this story! And thanks for all the compliments, they’re muchly appreciated.

[Jennpurr]

Yeah, sneaky Xander. I meant the ride itself. You know how some rides have a camera set up.



And Xander did take pics right? Did I read that right, or was he just giving them a hard time?? Hee... I hear payback coming. They should get him back for that.



Thanks Piper,

Jen

[foreverpiper]

Oh yeah, okay, i get what you were saying. And yes, Xander may have taken one or two pictures of them...



As for payback...next chapter...maybe not necessarily by Willow or Tara...but, perhaps Dawn? *smirks evily*

[Jennpurr]

One or two?? He probably used up the whole roll. Knowing how he can be. He better give the negatives to Will and Tara though, or he'll be in trouble. I can hear Anya now, "Xander Harris!!!!!" Hee...



Ooooh... Dawnie's gonna get with the payback. Can't wait to see that.



Will there be an update today?? I'll try to wait patiently.

Love this fic, its so sweet and fluffy!! Urm, if you know what I mean



love Aly

"This whole us things is...bleh!" Willow to Xander in Lover's Walk

[foreverpiper]

Jennpurr: LOL! hehe, you're probably right, but he needs extra film for the rest of the day.



As for the update...I don't think I can get it out today cause I've only written half of it and I have a friend coming over to spend the night so I can't finish it today. Hopefully tomorow though Keep your fingers crossed.



ally02: Lots of smoochies = happy Willow and Tara too. And I totally know what you mean.

[pikescoob]

frisky Tara hands...and leave it to Anya to notice anything sexual going on I'm really enjoying this angst free stuff.



--Michelle

[Jennpurr]

Well, that's true. Extra film would help. He'll probably try to be sneaky and catch our girls smooching again. Please??



Hey, no problem about the update. I'll wait patiently for whenever you can post it. Have fun.



Take care,

Jen

ahh, an angst free romp at an amusement park, much fun to be had by all. That's not including the rides. I'm really enjoying this fic, keep up the good work.

Helen

[foreverpiper]

pikescoob: Well of course Anya would notice that stuff! She's Anya after all!



Jennpurr: Well...as for Xander...you'll just have to wait and see now won't you...?



gertie1: Thanks! Well, I'll sure try.

[Jennpurr]

You little tease. Yeah, if you say so. Hee....



More, soon??



Take care,

Now, on to the chapter...



Chapter 7: The Effects of Previously Eaten Baby Back Ribs



After spending an hour to eat lunch, it was around 1 o’clock. The Scoobies, all with very full stomachs collected their things and headed onwards slowly.



Xander walked with a bit of a hunch. “Oh boy…I think I ate to much.” He told them, holding his stomach.



Willow laughed lightly, “Aww, poor lil’ Xander. Guess you ate one-to-many baby back ribs.” Dawn snorted, instantly thinking of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.



Buffy rolled her eyes at her little sister, knowing exactly what she was thinking.



Tara looked at them, somewhat confused by the little outburst from Dawn, before shrugging and realizing that she really didn’t want to know.



They walked along, Xander moaning every once in a while, before Dawn veered away from the group.



“Dawn? Where ya going?” Buffy called. Dawn waved the group over and nodded towards the ride that was in front of them.



“Please tell me you’re joking,” Xander asked her looking at the ride she wanted to go on next. It was the Teacups. He clutched his stomach even tighter, as if it would somehow lessen the pain.



“Nope. I love this ride!” Dawn said. “Come on, you’re telling me you don’t?”



Xander shook his head, “Oh no, I do, I’d just rather leave my shirt clean for now, instead of having to change it due to the supreme barf that would get all over it. And I really can’t stress how much I don’t want to see my lunch again, as good as it was.” He explained.



“Oh, don’t be such a baby,” Buffy smacked him lightly in the stomach, rolling her eyes. Xander doubled over and groaned loudly.



Realization dawned on Buffy, “Oh, sorry!” she cringed. Xander held up a hand and stood up, giving her a small smile that look much more like a grimace. “So kay.”



“If you guys don’t mind I think I’ll just sit out of this one,” he told them, slowly walking toward a bench that was nearby before Anya stepped in his way.



“Oh no you don’t mister.” She grabbed his arm and yanked him away from the bench, “You’re coming with us even if I have to get Buffy to carry you on!”



Buffy nodded, “And you know I will, Xand.”







Xander groaned, giving up. “Fine,” he huffed, before following them, hands still over his stomach.



As they waited in line, they decided who would be sitting where. Four people were able to sit in one teacup, so it was decided that Buffy and Dawn would sit in one, and Willow and Tara another. Anya and Xander, however, were a different story.



Anya shook her head, looking at Xander who was had turned a little green. “No way, I’m not sitting next to him!” she stepped away from them, over to Buffy and Dawn. “I’ll sit with you guys.” This meant that Willow and Tara were forced to share their teacup.



“Damn,” Willow mumbled under her breath.



The time finally came where they were all allowed to go on the floor and find their teacups. Buffy, Dawn, and Anya claimed one in the middle of the floor, while Willow, Tara, and Xander clambered into one right next to it.



As the ride began, Dawn, Buffy, and Anya looked like they were having a grand ol’ time, while Willow and Tara were doing the best the could to stay out of Xander’s line of fire if he all of a sudden blew.



He looked as if he was trying very hard not to throw up on the two witches, whom had both scooted as far away as possible from him.



Tara looked worriedly over to Willow, “M-maybe it wasn’t such a good idea that we went on this…particular ride.” She gulped as she saw Xander swallow hard, trying to keep his lunch at bay. “Oh boy…”



The teacups, which were spinning around and around, had begun to make Willow feel slightly dizzy and she leaned into Tara. “Uuuuh,” she moaned, “I think your right.” She closed her eyes, trying to stop the blurs that were coming from all angles. Willow buried her face into the crook of Tara’s neck, hoping to lessen the headache she had gotten from all the blurs as the spun faster and faster. She looked up at a particularly loud moan from Xander and realized that he must feel at least ten times worse than her.



As the ride finally slowed, Tara was looking quite terrified. Both people in her compartment looked particularly sick, and she for one, did not want to get thrown up on. Willow placed her head back into Tara’s neck until the ride had come to a complete stop. Buffy’s teacup passed theirs and Tara saw that all three people looked completely unfazed.



***



“Oh my God, you guys look at Tara!” Dawn pointed out as they passed Tara’s teacup when the ride finally slowed. She had a look on her face of complete misery mixed with concern. Anya laughed.



“Oh, poor Tara!” Buffy said, chuckling. “I wish we had Xander’s camera! That would make such a great shot!”



Dawn grinned hugely and reached in her pocket. “You mean this one?”



Buffy’s eyes widened for a moment before grinning widely and yanking the camera out of Dawn’s hands. She made sure the flash was on before raising it to her eye, poised, waiting for their teacups to pass again so she could get the perfect shot. It was a good thing the teacups were slowing down; otherwise when she took the picture, it would have surly been one big blur. Tara’s teacup came from the left side of theirs and turned at the perfect angle and Buffy took the picture.



It had Tara looking completely miserable, with Willow’s face buried into her neck, eyes scrunched up tightly. Xander was looking particularly sick, looking so green he could have been confused with ripe lettuce. It looked as if he was trying very hard to keep his previously eaten baby back ribs in his stomach for at least a few more minutes until he could get off the ride and find a bathroom…or a nice bush.



Tara looked up wearily when a flash of bright light obscured her vision, causing her to blink a few times to clear the stars from flashing in her eyes. She saw the camera Buffy was holding and glared at her, sticking her tongue out. Buffy returned the gesture playfully and handed the camera back to Dawn.



***



“Uuugh!” Willow moaned again as their teacup jerked to a stop. She looked up from Tara’s shoulder. “Everything’s all spin-y.” She said, blinking.



“Aww, my poor baby.” Tara kissed her forehead and helped her out of the teacup door, which had been opened by Xander as soon as the ride had stopped. Tara had seen him fumble with the lock momentarily before putting both hands over his mouth and bolting from the ride to the nearest bathroom, which, luckily for him had been right next to the ride.



Tara took Willow’s shaky hand and escorted her slowly out of the teacup and out the exit, to where Buffy, Dawn, and Anya were waiting for them.



“Where’s Xander?” Dawn asked.



“Bathroom,” Anya answered. She too had seen him run to the bathroom.



“Oh.”



Willow groaned, leaning on Tara. Buffy trotted over to them and helped Tara guide Willow over to a bench.



“Ride getcha sick Will?” Buffy questioned.



Willow nodded, “Dizzy …” She blinked a few more times. After a few more seconds, the dizziness slowly left.



Tara leaned over and kissed Willow’s forehead, letting her lips linger for a few seconds. “Oh, honey.”



Willow sat a few more moments before finally getting up, shaking her head. “Okay, all gone.” She said grinning happily as she heard Tara breath a sigh of relief. She instantly interlocked hands with her lover.



“Good,” Buffy nodded. “Now, lets go collect barf-boy from the bathrooms.” And with a flip of her hair, she began heading towards the bathrooms.



TBC...

[tiredsoul]

Sorry for a delayed review but I love this fic!



I remember going on the teacup the first time and having the same reaction as Willow. How come I didn't have Tara to make it all better? :-(

[Latsric]

That just brought back some really bad memories of the time I went to the local fair with my brother. It was on one of those scrambler rides and involved bologna...and that's all I have to say about that.



Aside my childhood trauma, I'm loving this story. You write the group interactions so well and have me laughing most of the time. And I love the ever present camera, to bad we don't get to see these pics when they are developed. Especially the Willow/Tara smoochies one, bet we could make a fortune off of those

That was just cruel making Xander go on that ride and evil crueler making Willow and Tara share with him. I loved the playfulness of Buffy and Tara with the picture taking and the poking out of tongues. great stuff piper

tiredsoul: Mucly okay for the delay I’m just glad ya read it and liked it! And I’m sure lots of people wonder the same thing.



Latsric: Sorry it brought up bad memories. Bad me! Hehe, everyone loves the camera. As for selling the smoochie pictures…I’d bet we’d make more than a fortune off of those!



fidds: hehe, thanks. Yeah, poor Willow…but at least she’s got her very own Tara to make it all better.



Loco2: Yep…teacups are so much worse than coaster! Don’t you know that? Hehe…life’s funny that way.



spazz07: Well I’m a very evil person! *evil laugh* mwahahahahahaha!!!

[Loco2]

hee hee, you mean just like how your stomach can handle a biscuit made from peanut butter and curry powder, half a bottle of vodka, and even the occasional worm, but you feel sick after you spin around too much on a twizzly chair? (ok, i admit it, that maybe because my stomach's never been quite the same after the curry biscuit incident....)

[foreverpiper]

Steph: Um...yeah...i think that's what i mean... You must have a...very, very strong stomach...cause i'm thinkin, penut butter, curry powder, vodka, and worm...probably not a very good combination...



Aly: Well of course it wuz a funny picture! After all, Willow was in it! And i'd never make Will barf all over Tara...cause that would be all kinds of mean...



Xita: Yep...same thing happened to me! I can't go on the teacups anymore due to surpreme dizzyness

[snuggle79]

Yeah, tea cups look harmless, but they are really really evil.

Great update!

Oh baby, want me to rub your tummy? She likes it when I ... stop explaining things.

[Loco2]

well, funnily enough, that smilie hasn't been me for a good 10 years. i can handle anything! (but my stomach does start to burn for no reason on the odd occasion) i really must learn to stop putting curry powder into things that it definitely shouldn't be in......
