Rating: It’s up to NC-17 now…do I hear cheers from the Kittens??
Spoilers: Up to Season 5, except for the last bit of “The Gift”
Pairings: W/T, X/A, B/F
Disclaimer: Joss and ME own these, I don’t, I just thought of the scenarios and borrowed the characters. I’m not making money out of them so don’t throw me in jail-I’d like to have a life still
Summary: Basically this is an idea I got whilst walking home after my Geog exam, thinking what might happen if the Scoobies got a chance to go to London. Naturally the two Wiccan wonders will be in the spotlight, thought I’d drag the others along for good measure too
Notes: Ok, Buffy never died, Willow didn’t go all magick addict gal, Tara never died (harhar Joss ), Xander and Anya are together still and married, Giles didn’t leave, Dawn exists, and this is set in 2003, with all the people happy and amusing as always. Oh and Faith’s out of prison for good behaviour.
Chapter 16: The Big Night…Part C: Posh Nosh and P******* Panic…
“Wow.”
“Everyone’s gone.”
“Great film.”
Buffy grinned, still holding onto Faith.
Never thought I’d be thanking Dawn for being so evil, she mused. Maybe she should get her brat sister something to thank her.
Faith stood, holding her hand out to Buffy. “The others are probably going schizo wondering where we are.”
Buffy took the other Slayer’s hand, and they started out of the theatre, both grinning stupidly. As they walked out, they saw their friends standing outside near their limo. Dawn was looking around for Buffy and Faith, and grinned triumphantly when she saw them. Tara was looking half amused, half disgusted at Xander and Anya, who looked slightly rumpled. Anya looked furious. We’d better not piss her off tonight. Giles was ignoring them, and Willow..Willow looked slightly freaked.
“Hey,” Buffy whispered to Faith as they started to stroll leisurely to the limo. “What’s with Willow?”
Faith looked at Willow, and grinned knowingly. “Nerves.”
Buffy stopped, and turned to the other girl. “Ok, what’s going on?”
“I cant say, well not until Tara gets her surprise.”
“And she gets it tonight?”
“Yep. Though I think Anya and I will have to stop Red from passing out first,” Faith looked sympathetically at Willow, who looked torn between full blown screaming panic, and terrified silence.
Poor Will, she thought.
Don’t worry Red, it will be worth it.As if sensing Faith’s thoughts, Willow saw the two Slayers, and forced a smile, practically running to meet them. “Hey! How was the film? Is Dawn going to die anytime soon? And it wasn’t anything to do with me, she planned it all…”
Oh boy, Red’s going into panic babble mode.“She lives…for the moment,” Buffy grinned, evil thoughts of revenge in her mind. Though that could wait, finding out why Willow looked so scared was priority one. A questioning glance at Faith said the other Slayer knew exactly what was going on.
Dawn sidled up to the three before Buffy could ask Willow, a look of triumph on her face. “Enjoy the film?” she asked, almost cackling.
Faith shot her a sly look. “Well I don’t know about you Buffy, but I didn’t see most of it.”
Buffy returned the look, and left Willow and Dawn standing, walking to the limo and getting in.
“Hurry up people, Slayers need food!”
****************************************************************************************************
20 minutes later, and the Scoobies were all gobbling up some of the finest food in England. Anya was still fuming about the cinema, Xander was looking as if he wanted the donut demons to come kill him now, and the rest were looking amused, save Willow who looked nauseous. “Excuse me,” she said, standing up and almost bolting away for the door.
Tara looked worriedly after her, but was stopped from going after Willow by Faith standing up. “We’ll be back in a minute,” she said, looking almost amused.
“Ok, what’s with Willow? She’s been acting weird.” Buffy characteristically stated the obvious.
Tara shrugged. Anya grinned. “It’s your surprise,” she said casually.
Tara’s eyes narrowed. “Would you like to elaborate?”
Anya grinned. “I don’t need to, unless Willow’s throwing up from nerves right now, and goes into typical panic mode…”
All the Scoobies left in the room pondered Anya’s comment, wondering what was going on.
*******************************************************************
Willow leaned against the wall, revelling in the feel of the cool stone against her. Trying to calm her overactive nerves, she almost didn’t hear Faith approach.
“Um, I don’t think now’s the time to ask if you’re ok,” Faith commented.
“No way.” Willow started to pace, nervous and frustrated. “Ok, its been a great night, and she looks as if she’s having a great time, apart from seeing Xander and Anya during the film. So, would this be ruining it?” She stopped, suddenly at a loss for words.
Faith gestured for them to go to the nearby bar.
Heh, London’s bars are getting a good custom from me this week, she thought wryly.
“You want a drink?” she asked, as they settled down on seats at the bar.
“Something strong. Double.” Willow replied.
Faith ordered double shots of tequila for the both of them, handing Willow hers. The redhead instantly downed hers, coughing instantly after. Faith grinned, then downed hers, hiding her wince.
“Better?” she asked. Willow shook her head, pushing her shot glass toward the bar for more.
Faith stopped the bartender before he could take it. “Look, you can’t do this if you’re blind drunk,” she told the redhead.
Willow scowled, then sighed. “Maybe.”
“Look,” Faith said. “What you two have is…its incredible. Any one with a brain cell can see that. And in my um, not so educated opinion, I think you’re doing the right thing.” She signalled for more drinks. “Besides, after all the time me and Anya have spent on this, you can imagine what Anya will do to you if you chicken out.”
Willow gaped, horrified. “Oh god.”
Faith nodded.
“You’re saying this to make me stop being chicken?”
“Oh yeah. If me and Buffy can ki-” she stopped far too late, as Willow’s panicked countenance turned into intrigue.
“You and Buffy…??” Willow repeated.
Faith blushed and looked down, then grinned. “Let’s just say we can thank Dawn. But we’re getting revenge on her.”
“Oh. Slayer smoochies?” Willow grinned, and laughed when the formerly evil, skanky Slayer blushed and looked almost…dreamy?
“Before her, I was so stupid. Its like she gives me a reason to be…good.” Faith considered that. “Well, not too good.”
Willow smirked, then sighed, taking the refilled glass and downing it. “I know the feeling.”
Faith grinned, then pulled a box from her coat pocket. “I believe this is for a certain blonde?” The Slayer had been the ideal choice to protect it, knowing Tara with her grabby hands, the box simply wasn’t safe from Tara-searching.
Willow hesitated, then took the box. “Thank you.”
Faith grinned. “A couple days ago, you hated me, now you’re thanking me. This world’s getting good.”
Willow took a deep breath. “Ok, this is what I need you to do…”
******************************************************************
Meanwhile the other Scoobies were either still pondering the strangeness of Willow’s “surprise”, or pestering Anya to tell them, who was suddenly wishing for the first time that she wasn’t in the spotlight. Praying for a miracle, she nearly jumped up and kissed Faith when the Slayer came back in…minus Willow.
“Where’s Willow? Is she ok? And what’s going on?” Buffy burst out, sounding almost like her best friend in babble mode.
Faith grinned secretly and walked over to Tara, leaning over and whispering something. Tara looked at Faith strangely, not knowing what to make of the request. Faith nodded eagerly, looking like a kid in a candy store.
Never thought I’d be excited at doing important errands. Maybe pride was more the emotion, she wondered.
Tara stood up, walking out, whilst Faith retook her seat. The rest looked at her. Faith sighed.
Why do I have to be the one to tell? She glared daggers at Anya, who simply tossed back some wine and smirked.
“Sooooo…what’s going on?”
Faith grinned at the other Slayer. “Love stuff.”
*********************************************************************
Tara walked out of the restaurant, headed in the direction Faith had given her. Passing a few bars, she suddenly spied her lover hanging around near the entrance to a park. Increasing her stride, she saw Willow look up, and walk towards her.
Tara hugged, her, concern in her features. Willow seemed so…nervous. “You ok?” she asked. Willow simply nodded, holding her closer. This, she realised, was why she was doing this. Nerves be damned, she was going to do this. Stepping back a little, she held out her hand. “Walk with me?” she asked.
A fire in my heart, reborn from the ashes...just call me Phoenix
I'm Under Your Spell, nothing I can do, you just took my soul with you...
