Well since you said please
I actually was planning on posting tonight, I had a bit of tweaking to do on this ch. to make it a bit better. I hope you all like it. Sorry Its been a few days since my last update, but I've had to almost live up at our college the last week they had my Fin. Aid ALLLL messed up so not a lot of time for fun stuff like writing
They finally got it all fixed so I can join the ranks of college students on Monday. Should be fun I took all easy classes this term so I can raise my GPA up a bit before I try and get into the University of FL.
shhh don't tell
BUT I finally got Ch. 8 done. Haven't started on 9 yet so it'll be a few more days. Tomorrow I must clean this place that used to be know as my bedroom, I know under all the mess it's here somewhere
Later everyone.

Spoilers: Nothing really unless you don’t know there is a Tara and you have never watched any Buffy ;-)
Summary: AU. Buffy’s 1st year of high school has been pretty much the same as on the show. However she had a different watcher. Giles comes to relive her old watcher, and brings his daughter.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the “Buffy” characters, I did however create some new ones for this story, but it’s dealing with Buffy so that’s Joss’s (AKA: The EVIL man) territory not mine.
Rating: PG-13/R it’s between the two.
Setting Sunnydale Bowling alley. The Scooby gang are occupying two lanes in the alley. Buffy is at the Snack Bar.
FAITH: (Walks up to Buffy) Hey B, can I talk to you?
BUFFY: Um I guess so?
FAITH: Ok…. (Doesn’t say anything)
BUFFY: You know Faith, talking normally starts with one person actually talking.
FAITH: (Kinda laughs) Right. You’re so funny!
BUFFY: (Looks at Faith like ‘ok she’s gone crazy’) Are you ok?
FAITH: Oh yeah totally! Um Tara, just wanted something to drink and asked me to come tell you to get it for her…. So since I’ve told you I’m going back to the celebration fun! (Walks away in a huff) (To herself) Smooth! Real Smooth! (Shakes her heads and returns to the group)
BUFFY: (Returns to the group a short time later with two Cokes, hands one to Tara)
TARA: (Looks a little surprised)
BUFFY: Faith didn’t’ tell me what kind to get you so I just figured I’d go with coke, hope that’s all right!
FAITH: (Speaks up quickly) That’s just typical of me! (Looks at Tara) You ask me to go tell Buffy to get you a coke then I forget to tell her what you wanted!
TARA: (Understands and smiles) it’s ok I’m rather found of coke! Thanks Buffy.
BUFFY: No sweat! (Sits down)
WILLOW: Awe baby if you wanted something to drink why didn’t you tell me!
TARA: I didn’t want to have you leave my side! (Smiles)
WILLOW: (Kisses Tara)
XANDER: OK! Break it up!
FAITH: Oh chill out Xander!
XANDER: This is Tara’s celebration bowling match, since she won the State Championship!
FAITH: Then shouldn’t she get to decide what’s fun? And I’m thinking making out with Willow is high on her list! (Winks)
TARA: It is very high on my list, but so is bowling! (Smiles) So lets do it! Um bowling I mean! (Pulls Willow’s hand) I pick her for my team!
XANDER: I don’t think anyone will argue with you! (Grins)
CORDELIA: What, like anyone wants you on their team!
BUFFY: Well, seeing as he’s on yours you’d better want him!
CORDELIA: Why do I get stuck with him?
BUFFY: Have you seen him bowl? (Grins)
FAITH: Fine, so it’ll be me Tara, and Willow against (Looks at Buffy) You, Xander and Cordelia.
BUFFY: OH NO! Wait!! I don’t want to be on his team!
XANDER: Hey! I’m standing right here!
FAITH: Then it’s settled, lets bowl! (Grins)
BUFFY: I strongly protest to this!
WILLOW: Noted! (Grins)
XANDER: Ok we’ll be on the left lane; you guys can take the right one.
FAITH: Team with the highest score at the end wins, looser has to buy dinner! (Smiles) (Looks at Tara) We’ll get free dinner tonight!
TARA: (Laughs)
CORDELIA: (Goes up first) Ok this ball totally does not match my outfit!
XANDER: (Rolls his eyes) Nothing’s supposed to match this is bowling!
TARA: (Walks up to the other lane) (Makes a strike) (Smiles)
FAITH: Way to go!
WILLOW: That’s my girl!
CORDELIA: This is such a stupid game! (Goes to throw the ball and rolls it backwards to the group) Oh God!
BUFFY: (Catches the ball) I believe you’re supposed to throw it that way! (Points towards the pins)
FAITH: (Walks up to the bowling lane) Oh yeah free dinner for us! (Bowls a strike) Go me!
TARA: (Claps)
XANDER: Is this what you did for fun or something? (Looks at Tara)
TARA: Is it that obvious?
FAITH: (Walks beside Xander) Oh sorry Xan did we forget to mention we where in the kids bowling league every summer?
BUFFY: I just don’t think that’s fair!
WILLOW: (Walks up to the lane, at the same time Xander goes to the other side) All right! Here I go!
TARA: You can do it sweetie!
Xander and Willow throw the balls at the basically the same time, but somehow they jump lanes.
WILLOW: Oh no!
XANDER: That can’t be good! (The balls hit a strike in each lane) Oh that so has to count!
WILLOW: Oh we got a strike Xander!
TARA: (Hugs Willow) Not the conventional striking method but who looks at convention anymore? (Kisses Willow)
After a few more rounds of bowling the gang heads out to dinner. Which Buffy’s team has to pay for.
BUFFY: All I’m saying is I don’t find this fair! I mean you guys had two good bowlers on the team and look at what I got stuck with! (Looks at Xander and Cordelia who are kissing)
FATIH: Relax Buffy! Did I mention I wanted a stake? I’m REALLY hungry!
BUFFY: The only stake you’ll be getting is a wood one!
TARA: Fine! Each couple can pay for their own dinner!
FAITH: (Looks like a deer caught in the headlights) But…Tara…. (Shakes her head)
BUFFY: So I guess… (Looks at Faith) We’ll have to pay for our own… Well I can deal with that… (Cut off by Faith)
FAITH: Or um… I could pay for yours?
BUFFY: (Grins a little) Um I wouldn’t want you to have to do that… I mean… You know?
FAITH: I really wouldn’t mind…. Unless you’d mind…. In which case I won’t…. So?
BUFFY: Well I wouldn’t mind… (Smiles)
FAITH: (Smiles) Settled then!
WILLOW: Took you long enough! Come on guys lets eat I’m starved!
Cut to Willow’s bedroom.
WILLOW: I didn’t think we’d ever be alone!
TARA: (Hugs Willow) And just why do you want to be alone? Huh??
WILLOW: Oh I can think of a few things!
TARA: (Kisses Willow) Are you sure your parents won’t be coming home?
WILLOW: Positive, I called their hotel earlier and they where still checked in!
TARA: Good cause just between us, your mom walking in isn’t high on my list! I have mom fear! Kinda like your frog fear, only mom’s can hurt you!
WILLOW: (Smiles) And you say I babble?
TARA: (Tickles Willow)
Cut to the porch of Buffy’s house. Faith and Buffy are sitting on the steps talking.
FAITH: So is it really safe for you to be patrolling alone?
BUFFY: Not worried about me are you?
FAITH: NO! I just…. Worry. (Grins)
BUFFY: It’s cool, and yeah I’m fine, (Looks at Faith) Thanks for dinner tonight it was nice of you.
FAITH: Well paying for you was a hell of a lot cheaper then paying for everyone so… (Grins)
BUFFY: Yeah I figured that’s why you did it. (Looks a little disappointed)
BUFFY/FAITH: We need to talk!
FAITH: You first.
BUFFY: No its ok go ahead.
FAITH: No that’s fine you go…
BUFFY: I just…. I think you should go first!
FAITH: Why do you have to be so damn stubborn!?! (Stands up)
BUFFY: Me? (Stands up) I’m not the stubborn one!
FAITH: Like hell your not! You have something right in front of you and you won’t see it!
BUFFY: See what? I don’t see anything!
FAITH: (Looks hurt) Fine! (Turns to walk away)
BUFFY: Where are you going? (Grabs Faiths arm)
FAITH: (Pulls Buffy into a kiss)
BUFFY: (Pulls away from Faith) (Looks a bit shocked) I’m not… Not… (Can’t talk)
FAITH: Why am I not surprised! (Walks off)
BUFFY: (Looks around confused)
Cut to Willow’s room. Tara and Willow are in the midst of almost making love. They’re lying on the bed. Willow is kissing Tara.
WILLOW: (Stops looks around) Did you hear that?
TARA: Um no? (Pulls Willow back down for kissing)
WILLOW: I defiantly heard that! (Looks around)
TARA: If you don’t want to do this just say so! Stopping and starting is just plain cruel!
WILLOW: Oh no I defiantly want to do this! I just hear something, kinda sounds like something hitting… (About that time a rock fly’s through Willow’s Glass door from the outside)
Tara and Willow jump up from the bed.
WILLOW: Told you!
TARA: (Shrugs)
FAITH: Sorry! (Climbs in the window, acting a little drunk) I didn’t want to stumble in…. (Falls over Tara catches her)
TARA: Well, you seam to be stumbling pretty well… are you drunk?
FAITH: Pretty much yeah! (Falls onto the bed) I’m sorry to disturb your make out session Willow but I need to talk to my cousin!
WILLOW: Ok? (Looks at Tara confused)
TARA: What’s wrong?
FAITH: (Sits up) (Looks at Willow) You know actually maybe I should talk to you, your best friend is lousy! She won’t open her eyes!
TARA: Oh boy. What’d you do?
FAITH: Why the hell do I always have to be the one doing anything? Can’t for once good things just happen to me? Just once?
WILLOW: Faith just calm down, and tell us what happen?
FAITH: I kissed her red!
TARA: (Rolls her eyes)
FAITH: What?
TARA: I didn’t say anything!
FAITH: But you where thinking ‘oh what a looser she is… I told her not to mess with Buffy’!
TARA: I was not thinking that!
FAITH: I don’t know why the hell I came here; go on with your perfect little relationship! (Storms out the door)
WILLOW: This can’t be good!
TARA: I need to go after her.
WILLOW: It’s dark, have we forgotten what town we live in?
TARA: Willow, that’s what I’m afraid of.
WILLOW: (Understands) Fine, but your not going alone!
Cut to Cordelia’s car where her Xander and Tara are driving around.
XANDER: So is it in the water or something?
TARA: What?
XANDER: The whole gay thing, I mean everyone seams to be turning that way?
CORDELIA: (Hits Xander’s arm) You really are an idiot sometimes!
XANDER: What, I’m just saying?
TARA: Been watching late night cable again huh Xander?
XANDER: Cordy help me out here!
CORDELIA: You where saying wrong! It’s not in the water you idiot! (Looks at Tara) Sometimes I see why you’re into girls, guys are just stupid 90% of the time!
XANDER: Honey, that’s not what I call helping! (Puts his head down)
TARA: (Grins) I’m sorry to call you both so late, but Willow didn’t want me out alone.
CORDELIA: It’s ok you saved me from the marathon of the Xfiles.
TARA: I’m just glad dad took Jimmy on a retreat I’d have a hard time explaining a drunken Faith to him.
XANDER: Just messed up your weekend of love!
TARA: (Raises her eyebrow at Xander)
Cut to the park where Buffy and Willow are looking for Faith.
BUFFY: (Looks around)
WILLOW: Are you ok?
BUFFY: How could she be so stupid!
WILLOW: Huh?
BUFFY: Running off drunk in the middle of the night! I swear if the vampires don’t’ eat her I might just shoot her!
WILLOW: (Gives an understanding grin) Buffy… I want to ask you something…
BUFFY: No I’m not gay!
WILLOW: Oh… Ok…. (Cut off by Buffy)
BUFFY: I mean I’ve never been gay, (Puts her head down) But why did I like the kiss so much?
WILLOW: (Smiles at her friend) Sometimes you need to think less of things and just do what feels right?
BUFFY: Was it scary for you?
WILLOW: What, realizing I was gay?
BUFFY: Yeah.
WILLOW: Oh yeah!
BUFFY: How did you know?
WILLOW: Well, when I was out playing solider with Xander instead of dolls I kinda got a clue. (Grins) All jokes aside?
BUFFY: Ok.
WILLOW: I think I first new, when everyone else got interested in boys for kissing and such, and all I wanted to know about was if they had the newest computer software or games. They just always seamed like a mystery to me, and then I got my first crush on a girl and it was everything I’d heard other girls talk about towards boys, only towards a girl in my case.
BUFFY: And you’re ok with it?
WILLOW: Sure am! Makes me the person I am today. I mean it’s better to be ok with it then to try and change yourself, cause theirs nothing you can really do about it anyways. Unless you like living a lie.
BUFFY: (Puts her head down)
WILLOW: And you don’t have to decide anything right now Buff, just because you kiss someone doesn’t make you gay you know.
BUFFY: (Hugs Willow)
WILLOW: What was that for?
BUFFY: For being my best friend! (Smiles)
WILLOW: Come on let’s go find Faith before she drinks all of Sunnydale’s liquor up! (Laughs)
Cut to the beach. Faith has a bottle of Vodka drinking, and is on the shore looking at the waves.
FAITH: (Takes another sip from the bottle) Row, Row, Row, your boat gentle down the stream, (Hiccups) rough waves, rough waves and a life full of broken dreams! (Laughs) (Falls back on the sand)
SPIKE: (Walks up to Faith) Well, look’ie what we have here!
FAITH: Oh god! (Looks up at Spike in fear)
SPIKE: Sorry I don’t think he’s out here tonight!
BUFFY: (Hits Spike from behind) No but I am!
SPIKE: You! (Buffy and Spike start to fight)
WILLOW: (Helps Faith up) Can you walk?
FAITH: Maybe… (Almost falls over)
WILLOW: Hang on, I gotcha.
SPIKE: You have the worst timing slayer!
BUFFY: What can I say it runs in my blood!
SPIKE: Really? I’ll have to taste it!
FAITH: (Hits Spike with the Vodka bottle) I don’t think so!
SPIKE: Bitch! (Goes to hit Faith) (About that time an arrow hits him in the left shoulder) (Looks up to see Tara standing about 100yrds away holding a cross bow)
TARA: (Runs to the group)
Cordelia and Xander catch up.
BUFFY: (Hits Spike and gashes his head)
SPIKE: This bloody well isn’t over! (Runs off)
WILLOW: (Hugs Tara) Nice shot!
TARA: No one messes with my family! (Smiles)
FAITH: (Leans over and starts throwing up)
TARA: Ok I’m so not cleaning that up!
Cut to Faith’s bedroom she’s laying in bed with a garbage can beside of her and a big glass of water.
BUFFY: (Walks in)
FAITH: Look B, can you at least wait a few more hours before you tell me how much I screwed up! I have massive hangover issues right now.
BUFFY: (Sits by Faith) Then how about I just sit in here with you until you feel better? (Holds Faiths hand)
FAITH: (Looks shocked)
BUFFY: I swear you ever pull another stunt like you did last night; I’ll kill you myself!
FAITH: (Smiles)
Cut to the living room where the rest of the Scooby gang is sitting around.
XANDER: I didn’t know one person could puke that much!
CORDELIA: Xander!
WILLOW: (Smiles) I think I have to agree with Xander!
TARA: (Laughs)
About that time Giles and Jimmy walk in the front door caring luggage.
TARA: (Smiles) Dad your home!
GILES: Yes. We decided to come home a day early.
TARA: (Hugs Giles then Jimmy) How was the retreat?
JIMMY: Not a lot of nice vampires for me to talk to… But I meet some real people! (Smiles)
TARA: Funny!
GILES: So I trust nothing to eventful happen while we where away?
TARA: Um… No, pretty normal stuff. (Looks at the group and smiles)
TBC… (Part 9)
