Hi guys Yes, it's me after all this time...and yes this is an update. Rather a short one but just to get us back into the swing of things. Sorry it has taken so long, but as it turns out marriage and having an actual life kind of cut into one's free time. Who knew? Anyway, there will probably be one or two chapters to follow and then an epilogue...it's essentially all written in my head I just have to turn it into words on the page...I'm even having ideas for finishing my other story
The Traveller's Tale If I may be redundant, sorry it has taken so long...for a while there I didn't think I'd finish it at all, because frankly I wrote all those
incredibly graphic sex scenes when I was single and now that I have a wife I find them a bit embarrassing...anyway, here it is I hope you enjoy it...
Title: A Woman in Uniform Chapter 26Author: Umgaynow aka Sandi aka Mrs. Willowtree252
Rating: probably PG-13 for language
Disclaimers: I don't own shit...except for three trying yet adorable doggies!
When last we left our intrepid heroines..."The bogey just came out of Deep Fried Pussy...OVER."
"Oh, that is sooo wrong...come again, Tink...OVER."
"Target just exiting Pussy's territory...ought to be in your sector in about 20 or so...OVER."
"Oh...that soon? Yikes...OK..
.I can do this..
.I can do this...Thanks, Tink...give the word to the others...I've got it from here..
.I hope...wish me luck...Red Leader OUT."
"This is Tinkerbell...do you read Juicy Lucy? Rebel Yell? DFP? Firecrotch?
We are now moving into Phase 3...I repeat
Phase 3...Tinkerbell OVER and OUT."
And now..."That's Endgame, people...I repeat...
WE HAVE ENDGAME...Good work
most of you...Firefly OVER and OUT."
"Now it's all up to the mega-witches and their magic hairball," Buffy genuflected, "
Oy Vey!"
"You know, when I came out, I promised myself I was never gonna go back in," the blonde grumbled as she readjusted her position, "And yet, here I am squatting in a closet. I'd call that ironic...unlike rain on your wedding day."
Despite the multitude of dangerous turns her comparatively short life had taken, Tara could not recall the last time she had felt this anxious, this nervous, this heart-in-your-throat-bats-in-your-tummy-one-damp-sock-cuz-ya-pissed-your-pants-plain-fucking-terrified.
This is the big one, Maclay. Everything is riding on it, not the least of which is Willow's life. You've gotta give it all you've got, be the best that you can be, this is for all the marbles... "Ehem"
Yes?"Do you have any more movie trailer cliches?"
No...I'm done...as you were...no...wait...this time it's personal!Sometimes that little voice in the back of her head could be
so annoying.
"This spell has
got to work! I really, really hope I got that damned translation right..." she nibbled her thumbnail.
It's a little late to be worrying about that now, don't you think?"Shut up! I can do this!"
Oh, certainly...just because no one else has ever been able to make the thing work is no reason to..."Correct me if I'm wrong but did I or did I not just say
shut up?"
By all means...don't listen to me...forget I said a word...what do I know? Of course, I'm not the one squatting in a closet arguing with herself like a crazy person here..."I am not crazy! And I am not..."
OOOPS! Deep breaths, Tara...deep breaths."God, I hate waiting..."
Hey...think of the alternative...If the witch could have figured out a way to raise a threatening eyebrow at her own inner monologue, she would have done it.
"I'm so glad I had the presence of mind to do that no peeing incantation...now if I could just manage not to throw up...
deep breaths, Maclay...come on...
focus...
focus!"
Did you just hear something?"Shit!"
Voices...the actual external kind...footsteps on the porch...the doorknob...
"OK, here we go...I love you, Willow...make me proud."
"I am not here...I am invisible...you cannot see me...I am like the window...you can see right through me...I am like Saran Wrap...I am invisible..."
Oooooooo...that was poetic...Earlier that same morning..."Sonofabiscuit! Aaaarrrghhh! I still can't get this thing right!" the redhead whined as she tried to free herself from the
halzband, "Taraaaa!"
The elder witch pulled effortlessly at a loose end and the amulet fell free. "Now pay attention, Willow! This is the last time I'm going to show you..." she scolded, as she twined the cord about her own naked body, "Concentrate! When the time comes, I won't be here to help you..."
"It's not gonna work anyway...we've tried it like a million times, with and without my hair...the thing's a dud!
I never should have gotten that trim."
"It'll work, Sweetie...somehow..
.it has to" Tara whispered as she unwrapped herself,
"OWW!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God, Baby! Are you OK? Did it zap you? What do I do? What do I do?"
"Relax, Will...I'm fine...just snagged a couple short and curlys."
Her lover winced in sympathy, "Now, explain to me again why it needs to go over my boobs, around my waist and between my legs if it's a necklace."
"Think of it as an insurance policy."
"More like a chastity belt," Willow teased.
Tara handed the amulet over to her lover, "Now show me."
The redhead did exactly as her girlfriend had done, only a bit more slowly, "
Ta-dah!"
"See...I told you...easy as pie."
"Mmm-hmmm," she gave her that certain smile. Actually it was more of a smirk.
"I'm gonna kill you, Rosenberg! You knew all along, didn't you?"
"Well...um...yes...but...practice is of the good right? And besides..." she flinched a little as if expecting a swat, "If I'd gotten it right on the first try, you would have put your clothes back on an hour ago."
"Perv!" The blonde grabbed her lover and kissing her soundly, then resting their foreheads together, "Seriously, Wills...we've got the incantation down...the amulet squared away...you've passed
Heather 101 with flying colors...we've done all we can do...now it all comes down to timing...and luck...luck is gonna be a big factor."
"I found you didn't I? The way I figure it, I must be one lucky-ass bitch."
"Then I suppose logic dictates that the same must be true for me."
"Hell, that demon ass is practically already whupped," she smoothed an errant strand of hair back off the blonde's forehead, "Now stop worrying, OK?"
"Yeah...sure..." she suddenly seemed to find her feet fascinating.
"
Tara..."
"You don't have to do this, Will..." Despite all their preparation, something was making her Hunter senses tingle and she couldn't seem to shake it. "We can find another way."
"Oh no...no way...it's the end of the road for that skank...here and now!"
"I can't lose you, baby...what if..."
"This is not my first rodeo, Tara," the detective interrupted, "I assure you I can handle myself!"
"Maybe so...but I doubt you've ever gone undercover on an evil magical horse."
"
Wait! Horse?!? What's this about a horse all of a sudden? You never mentioned anything about a horse! That's it...I'm out!"
"Easy there, girl...strictly a metaphorical horse...I promise..." she pulled the frantic redhead into an embrace, "I was talking about Heather."
"So more like an evil, magical whore, then?"
"Check...now come to bed."
"Speaking of riding..."
"Cute, Rosenberg...but I was talking about sleep...we're gonna need all our strength tonight."
"Well, sometimes I feel quite energized after..."
"Uh-huh..."
TBC
That's it for now...hope you dug it. No specific timetable on the rest but like I said it's already written in my head so it won't be years in between updates next time...Sandi out
