*Sneezes* Woah, about time i dusted off this fic. You won't see much of me in November, two uni assignments and a novel all to write in that month, so that's about 53,500 words in thirty days, should be a breeze.
Note: Yeah, there is a sorta big bad apocalyptic vampire gal, but in this fic, WIllow and Tara are also gonna have 'Real life' problems, the vampire is not the be all and end all of this fic.
***
In a darkened area of Sunnydale, a female vampire’s eyes snapped open and the vampire gasped. She sensed movement and tensed, but then she recognised the face of Kent.
“Are you ok?”
The woman growled, “in one night, I got staked by two Slayers, do you think I’m alright?”
Kent smirked, “You’ll just have to make sure you get the job done next time then, anyways, it’s a good job there’s so many good looking women round here, wouldn’t want you to wake up in a body we both can’t stand.”
The female stood up and looked in the mirror, “A blonde? I prefer brunettes myself.”
Kent shrugged, “a distinct lack of brunettes were out last night, maybe next time Raven.”
Raven punched him on the shoulder, “Who said there is gonna be a next time? I got both those Slayers bad last night, they’ll be hurting.”
***
Tara put a gold sticker on the last book and closed it. She looked at her watch and went towards the phone when it suddenly rang of its own accord.
“Hello Tare, got your message, soooo, tell!”
Tara smiled as she thought back, “might tell you later, I’ll just say that I didn’t get home till this afternoon.”
“Oh Tare, you can’t leave me there, a gal gotsta know.”
Tara smirked, “see you tomorrow.” Tara hung up the phone and picked it up again, dialling a number and listening to the rings.
“Red’s phone, what’s the what?”
“Hey Faith, would ‘Red’ be around by any chance?”
“Oh I’m five-by-five thank you, and how would you be?”
Tara blushed, “Heh, sorry, and yeah, I’m ok.”
Faith chuckled, “I’m just messing T, hey, you know she has you on her phone as ‘Baby’?” Faith let this sink in for a moment, as Tara started to blush, she heard Faith’s voice from a distance, “Yo Red, ‘Baby’ on the phone!”
Tara smiled as she heard Willow remonstrating with Faith, not for answering her phone but for sharing that little tidbit with Tara. “Hey Tara.”
Tara smirked, “‘Baby’ huh?”
“Well…erm…that is…”
Tara grinned, “’sok, anyway, I’m all done for the day. Do you want to meet up somewhere?”
“I’m going out with Buffy on patrol tonight while Faith does a couple things, but I’m sure we could…make some time.”
Tara grabbed hold of a denim jacket, “Ok sweetie, I’ll be there in a bit.”
***
Tara walked up to the door of the house that Buffy and Willow shared, this time she had remembered to feed Ellie, not that Tara would be out all night with class in the morning. Tara paused as she was about to knock on the door, suddenly, it opened and Willow burst out wrapping her in a bone crushing hug. Tara smiled, “Sweetie?”
“Yeah?”
“Oxygen…it’s becoming an issue…generally being needed to live and all.”
Willow blushed and loosened her grip a little, this allowed Tara to hug back before she drew away and looked at Willow in the eyes, “You look a little tired.”
“A little, Buffy and Faith both took beatings, it required beaucoup de mojo as Faith would say to help them out.”
Buffy came out with a grin, “You do know she’s been waiting by that door since you phoned right?”
Willow blushed as Tara quirked an eyebrow at her, “Well, I wanted to see you and you might have gone to the wrong house by accident and…and…if you walked past this one you mighta got lost being new round here and all and…”
Tara placed a finger on Willow’s lips, “Willow-babble, so sweet.”
Buffy smirked, “well, let’s get out there huh?”
***
Buffy was slammed hard into the wall by the blonde that she had caught trying to get a little snack. “How does it feel to be on the wrong end of a beating Slayer?”
Despite her disadvantageous position, Buffy smirked, “Wouldn’t know, you will soon enough though.”
The vampire looked at Buffy’s confident expression, slightly confused. She decided to end this quick just bite the Slayer, that was when she heard muttering behind her. She didn’t have time to scream as her body disintegrated.
***
The eyes of a brunette vampire snapped open and she gasped, “Ouch. Those witches will pay for that.”
***
Faith ran to where she had heard Buffy’s shouts, and watched as the vamp simply burned up. “Ok lovebirds, I think B and I can take care of the rest of the night. Be careful ok?”
Willow nodded.
“Oh and Red?” Faith smirked, “Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

There can be no rainbow without rain, you cannot know true happiness until you know sadness first.
