I'm actually thinking Kat wouldn't do a good job at keeping her under control, if ya know what i mean...

WHOA - There will be no playing Dr with Branny -- well not unless yer Kat and then **wiggles eyebrows** hey baby... ...sorry I'm back...



AND - Ashley - Kat does a wonderful job keeping me under control she knows **cough** ways very nice ways...



It does scare me the idea of Dr. Nath and Nurse Ashley! As for the morphine - I don't like that stuff much, always makes me feel nasty ...but Demerol - now that is the good stuff...



turns to Kat...Baby, I know you told me not to or I was going to see those men with the pretty white coats that button in the back again, and and and that fun wittle rubber truck that I can go in...but I gotta do it...just gotta. You'll still come visit right??



This is the result of pain meds, a day of too much caffeine and my roommate!!



Ashley and Nath have been blackmailing me with this for update-y goodness (since everyone is singing I might as well too):



Ducky Doo

By Branny



ducky doo does ducky poo

ducky doo does ducky poo

ducky doo dropped a big old ducky poo

and the kangaroo stepped in the ducky poo

he slipped and fell on ducky doo

and thats the end of my song for yoo



bows for the group

Always baby...I'll miss you so much. Time to go call the men with white coats now. Try not to sing ducky doo in there. You might never get out.



Oh, and I'll play Dr with you anytime sweetie!!!

Damn no more blackmailing, we'll just have to dig up some more dirt on her Ashley And no playing doctor huh, you think that will stop us



*Nath opens the emergency Dermerol kit and and fills up a syringe*



"Nath that's too much, we could send her over the edge."



"Goddamit woman, do you want a drug endused u word or not, we have to take the chance"



*Nurse Ashley looks over at Branny already playing puppets with her hands, making them talk to each other*



"Hello Mr. Ducky Poo, how are you? I'm good Mrs Monkey Poo, yourself?"



*Nurse Ashley swings her head back in Doc Nath's direction*



"See, we can't let that sort of amusement be shared only between you and i, the whole kitten board needs to know how insane Branny really is."



*Nurse Ashley nods her agreement*



"You know we'll not be able to send her to work, if she doesn't show up they might be on to us."



*Doc Nath thinks this over*



"No we send her there anyway, i'm pretty sure they wont be able to tell the difference."



*Kat enters the room in shock, she rushes over to her baby who is still chirpily talking to herself through hand puppets*



"Oh my god baby, what have they done"



*Branny shows Kat her hands*



"Have you met Mr & Mrs Poo? They want to meet yoo"



"My god she's hysterical, and you think this is funny?"



*Doc Nath & Nurse Ashley speak together*



"YES!!!!"



"You're right, its the most hilarious thing i've ever seen, but you see, she's all mine, i dont share"



*Doc Nath & Nurse Ashley put on their best puppy dog eyes*



"But we wanna play"



"Well so do i, which is kinda why i'm here"



"I know we'll have Branny decide who she want to play with her. Branny we want to show the world your zany insaneness"



*Kat whispers something in Branny's ear and she's suddenly thinking very clearly*



"Um we're going." *Branny grabs Kat's hand and hurridly pulls her out the room*



*Doc Nath & Nurse Ashley stare after them in disbelief*



"Do you think we're odd for sadistically liking to watch Branny embarass herself"



"Me odd, pfft." *Then remembers he actually wrote this dribble



Nath

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

[SlayerTazz]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the hand-puppets...they are cute, entertaining and always there when you need a friend. Right? **looks at the bunny hand puppet and makes it say RIGHT**



Anybody for a friendly game of Little Nathy Fu Fu???



Little Nathy Fu-fu, hoppin' though the forest,

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

Along came the good fairy Kat, and she said:

"Little Nathy Fu-fu, I don't want to see you

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

I'll give you three chances to change your ways, and if you

don't obey, I'll turn you into Xander."



So the next day...

Little Nathy Fu-fu, hoppin' though the forest,

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

Along came the good fairy Kat, and she said:

"Little Nathy Fu-fu, I don't want to see you

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

I'll give you two chances to change your ways, and if you

don't obey, I'll turn you into Xander."



So the next day...

Little Nathy Fu-fu, hoppin' though the forest,

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

Along came the good fairy Kat, and she said:

"Little Nathy Fu-fu, I don't want to see you

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

I'll give you one chances to change your ways, and if you

don't obey, I'll turn you into Xander."



So the next day...

Little Nathy Fu-fu, hoppin' though the forest,

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

Along came the good fairy Kat, and she said:

"Little Nathy Fu-fu, I didn't want to see you

Scoopin' up the Ashley-mice and boppin' them on the head.

I gave you three chances to change your ways and you didn't obey, so now I'm turning you into Xander. Poof! You're a Xander. And the moral of this story is...'Hare today and Xander tomorrow.'



The other moral of the story is THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BUNNY PUPPETS OR DUCKY DOO.

[Urn of Osiris]

OMG Branny you turned him into X-X-Xander.



What have you done. Fix him, Fix him! You can't punish him like that.



No one deserves such punishment.



Poor guy.





Nath, just so you know, I was innocently reading, drinking my coffee, when the xanderyness of you scrolled up.



LMAO and now my monitor is a lovely shade of brown.



That was too funny.



Oh and just to be consistent. U-P-U-P-U-P



I was going to sing, but who could follow Ducky Doo and the ever popular Nathy Foo Foo.

*Nath sneaking around Branny's place, looking for dirt so he can blackmail a u word out out her. Sharon come up behind and places a hand on his shoulder*



"Nath, this is not the way to go about finding dirt on poor Branny."



*Nath turns around with an agitated look on his face*



"What am i supposed to do, just sit around, waiting for her to slip up"



"Maybe sometimes, thats all you can do"



"But that's not proactive guy, that's sit around and do nothing guy, i hate that guy."



"MY God we've gotta get you changed back already"



Branny i'm just gonna continually quote Xander in your thead until you either change me back or give us a U word, how that for some good ol fashioned blackmail.



Nath

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

Ashley!!!

OMG, I'm gone to a meeting for the day, and I come back to find that 1) You finally sang and I missed it 2) you and Nath are playing doctor (I'm the PA here!) 3)While you 2 are playing doctor, poor Urn is by herself trying to get the big "U" from Branny 4) and our BRANNY..Just what the hell was in that syringe? From what I saw it wasn't Morphine or Demerol

Branny, drink plenty of "fluids" and get more rest. We will wait (impatiently of course).

[spazz07]

See heres the thing, i'm running out of corny Xander dialogue in my head and well no power on this earth will get me watching those eps again, anyway i tried looking up Xander quotes but they mysteriously stop after about season 3-4. Though Branny i'll do what it takes to get those quotes (expect put myself through the torture of watching them) to bombard you with my Xanderisms.



*Walks of scratching head as to why they just stopped after season 4*



Nath

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

[SlayerTazz]

Alright alright - Kat has convinced me that Nath quoting Xanderisms is just wrong -- so POOF you are no longer Xander and can stop posting that dribble in my thread.



thanks for the laughs everyone - Kat and I loved them. Yes, she is taking care of my gimpy-self yet again. How does one get so lucky?!

Hi Branny.



Oh thank you for fixing him, I hope. Now I can go to sleep and not have night mares about yellow crayons.



Thanks Kat



Dribble free Whew! well at least from me.



Nath and Ash may still have the rubber glove thingy going on.



You two take really good care. **Big hugs**

[Witch Brit]

Ashley (my wonderful girlfriend ) recommended your fic to me. I really enjoyed it. Love how you brought Willow and Tara back together. Ethan isn't one of my favorites though, so I think you should consider getting rid of him. Willow's notes were sad. She won't have to leave them behind though because I highly doubt anything'll happen to her. But thats in your hands, i guess.



I hope your getting better! I'll be looking forward to the next update.

[SilverWingedNemesis]

Hey. Just got around to reading this fic! I love it!! i am DESPERATLY wanting to know what will happen, and what Willow is up to!

All Kittens: Sorry for the long delay – finally getting healed. I promised Ashley an update when I was healed so here ya go!! Thank you to everyone for their support thru the Dr visits and keeping me sane when they said “deal with it”…most thanks for my minor level of sanity being retained to Kat!!

Title: Mending Fences

Author: SlayerTazz

E-mail: tazz72@yahoo.com

Feedback: Yes, please!

Distribution: Sure, just let me know.

Spoilers: Up to and including Season 6, this is mostly AU though.

Pairing: W/T

Rating: PG-13. Some chapters may increase in rating. Fair warning will be given.

Disclaimers: Joss and Co. own all. I'm just borrowing them for the time being...

Summary: Willow and Tara have broken up, Tara has moved back to the dorms - she's living in the room that we first saw her in (its AU, and I liked her original room), and Spike is remotely still one of the "good" guys.



Notes: All character thoughts/dreams are in italics.





Mending Fences



Part 16



*********



Xander and Buffy were headed to the old factory. Buffy was wondering why it was that the evil that came to Sunnydale always seemed to find that place and make it their hideout – did they not realize that it wasn’t a secret. Xander wasn’t thinking much other than he needed to get Anya out of there and safe.



“We’re going to get her back,” said Buffy noticing the determined look on Xander’s face. Buffy didn’t receive a response nor did she receive any reaction from him. She reached over and placed her hand on his shoulder.



“Huh?” said Xander with a start. He hadn’t realized he had been so fixated on the task that he was ignoring the Slayer.



“I said, we’re going to get her back – she’s going to be ok,” repeated Buffy in a sympathetic tone.



“I know, just tired of that weasel always messing with us for his own amusement.”



“I know, but this time I get to beat him bloody, maybe he’ll get a clue then.”



As they neared the block where the Factory was they slowed their pace and became more cautious of their surroundings. Buffy used her Slayer senses to see if she could pick up what if anything was in the area.



“Spidey sense is telling me there are about three vampires and several demony things around – not to mention anything that I can’t sense,” stated the Slayer.



“Ok, so what do you want to do? Should we wait or just barge in and take our chances?”



“Xander, Giles told us to wait – if he’s correct the goon-squad should be hitting the Magic Box soon and kidnapping Willow, er Tara, er you know what I mean. From there we’ll want them take her in and see if we can spot any weaknesses in their little boys club defense.”



Xander rolled his eyes as he copped a squat behind some bushes to remain out of sight and to observe what was going on around them. He wasn’t pleased with just sitting and waiting, but he knew that Giles would never intentionally put anyone in harms way – not even Anya.



Buffy found a spot next to Xander and started to survey the scene in a bit more detail. She had noticed that the demons around the factory were staying away from the far wall, some even appeared to be afraid of it. This she thought would probably be where Ethan was or at least where she needed to end up to stop him from setting loose the Jackal Demon.



**********



Tara and Giles arrived at the Magic Box and started to scout out the elements they were going to need to create the spell to stop Ethan. Finding all but the most important ingredient, they started to search the place wishing Anya were there, sometimes her method of categorizing was a bit unconventional for someone who wasn’t eleven hundred years old.



“Giles, do you think Anya is safe,” asked Tara. Giles looked towards her, hearing the kindness in her voice but seeing Willow’s body there.



“Yes, I’m certain that she is fine. Ethan may be a low down two-bit loser, but he wouldn’t hurt her. Ethan needs a bargaining tool and something to get himself out of trouble.”



With that a loud crash came from the training room in the back of the store. Giles and Tara exchanged glances before turning their attentions towards the door separating them and the noise. Just then the door burst open and a pack of hooded creatures came barreling through. A couple headed towards Giles who was now trying to block and protect Tara, the rest headed straight for her.



“Willow, look out,” shouted Giles as he was overtaken and knocked to the ground. The creatures kept Giles pinned to the ground as they overtook and captured “Willow” and dragged her from the shop. The creatures holding waited for them to get Willow out of the building before scampering off.



Giles collected himself, finished gathering the ingredients for the spell, like a light being turned on he figured out where Anya kept the last ingredient. After he had everything together he called Buffy and Xander on her cellphone. Giles informed them that “Willow” had been captured and would most likely be headed towards them. Upon hanging up Giles took the supplies and went to meet up with Buffy and Xander.



**********



“Where are you taking me?” snapped Tara.



“Hush witch – you needn’t ask questions…we have no answers to give you,” said one of the creatures.



“I see, so you don’t know where you’re taking me huh?! Gee, that has to make it hard for us to get there,” she rebutted.



“Shut up, your shrill voice is giving me a headache,” snapped the one that appeared to be the leader.



“And if I don’t feel like it,” sassily replied Tara hoping just to annoy the creature more. She was always so quiet, but for some reason now she didn’t feel all that compelled to be.



“I don’t recall asking what you wanted now shut up or we are going to make you in a very unpleasant way,” he said as he showed her a blade hidden under his cloak. Tara got the point and decided that since she was in Willow’s body and she was very fond of the body, she would follow his request.



The trip to the factory felt like it took forever, upon arrival Tara was escorted into a small room at the end of the hall. She looked around to see if she could spot anything unusual or anything that might be of use to her. The walls of the room appeared to be solid steel, there were no windows and just the one door. She noticed that there were some chains and shackles built into the wall – Tara guessed that those were probably going to be meant for her. With that realization she let out a groan of displeasure.



“Awww, groaning already?” came a voice from behind her. Tara hadn’t realized until then that she had been left alone in the room. She turned to meet the voice, she saw a tall slender man standing before her, she could see his aura and it was very dark.



“Well this just doesn’t look all warm and fuzzy,” Tara said.



“Well I’m truly sorry about that, though I wasn’t going for that look or feel. I like the institutional look and feel, all clean and orderly.” Ethan stated as he moved towards the redhead.



“So where is Anya and what do you want with me?” said Tara figuring that she might as well see if she could get some more information that may help the gang.



“My, my – direct and to the point are we? I don’t recall you being this, oh what is the word – confident before.”



“Be honest, timid or confident – really doesn’t matter does it. I’ve given up magic haven’t you heard? And I know that is what you need me for.”



“Ah, yes it is – but I’m hoping that you can be persuaded to um assist in my needs.” Ethan looked Tara in the eyes and said, “Bind” with that her hands were bound together and confined in front of her.



“Why are you binding my hands?”



“Thought we might take a little walk – so as I can show you my little persuasion tool,” said Ethan as he lead them out of the room and down a corridor to where he was holding Anya.



Ethan led Willow into a large room that was dimly lit. In the corner at the far end of the room was a cell and in it she could see Anya glaring down towards them.



"What are we doing here?"



"Well, I thought you might like to say hello to your little friend." Ethan cackled.



"She's not my friend. You really should do your research before you kidnap someone. Anya and I barely tolerate each other when we have to." Tara said trying to think of what Willow would say and doubly trying not to stutter so as not to give herself away.





"Oh right, you don't like her...why is that may I ask?"



"Doesn't really involve you now does it? What would the point be of hashing it over with you?"



"My, my, Ripper really should have taught you some manners."



"And you would deserve proper manners why?" snapped Tara getting into the part a bit too much.



"My Red, you've got some fire and vigor today." snipped Ethan.



"Being kidnapped has a way of doing that to you," said Tara as they made their way to just outside the cell where Anya sat.



"Oh great, Willow's here - and can life get worse...oh wait the Jackal Demon is going to be coming to visit - guess it can, but just barely."



"Happy to see you too, Anya," Tara said, unsure of how to take the venom she heard in Anya's voice. She knew that Willow and Anya weren't close, but she never realized the contempt that was felt between them.



The two girls stared at one another, Anya couldn't place it but there was something different about Willow. Tara was hoping that Anya was just staring at her in hopes of intimidating Willow and not because she suspected something. Just as that thought crossed through Tara's mind she saw Anya's eyes light up. Anya had just figured out what was different about Willow - her eyes weren't their normal green, but blue...this was Tara and not Willow. Anya winked at Tara to let her know that she knew and would play along, Tara gave her a slight smile.

Wow. I 've missed this story. I was wondering if you are willing to do a Previously at the beginning of updates, so we can remember what happened in the previous update without having to reread. If not, it is okay. It's just a suggestion.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Update was worth the wait, and I could just envision Tara getting into playing Willow.



Still couldn't believe Buffy could show enough restraint to wait as Giles had asked her to. It's about time!



Look forward to more.

Beat Ya Ashley!!!
