Hey Sassette, stop flirting with random kittens and get writing.

I don't mind the flirting. Not me! Never one to turn down a good flirt.

[Sassette]

**daydreamer: I hope you enjoyed your shower, and that your brain is functioning properly as you go about your daily business Glad you liked the update - thanks! *G*



**jomarch: Okay, okay ... that was an extremely silly question ... but ... Ruth's "Free Range" sassy eggs ... they're just so ... sassy. And, ummm ... I shall endeavor to ruin your sleep more often ... but I have no idea if/when there will be another Not!Sex scene (because, y'know, I don't write sex scenes) in this fic before the epilogue-type thing.



**tiyodragon: Thank you *G* I'll see what I can do about updating as soon as possible ... I hope that's a vague enough promise.



**foreverpiper: Heh ... I sense a theme here ... okay, okay, I'll try to get some writing done. But no one be surprised if the update ends up being some bizarre rambling that has nothing to do with the fic, but is filled with eggs. Sassy eggs.



**TX: Yes'm. Hey - waitaminute ... you're MY bitch! *cracks the whip* Go make me a sammich!



**Bobos Mom: Yeah - what you said! Besides - how much would it suck if everyone go to flirt on this thread but me? *pout*



-Sass

*lying on floor, as hasn't been able to get up since passing out after reading last chapter*



Okay, I'm still recovering... but, from my vantage point here on the floor... ooo, I need to clean out underneath my bed... can I get in on the voting-for-more-W/T-goodness? PLEASE???!!!???



I'll give ya a cookie.

Okay, Sassette, enough playing around, what is it going to take to get the next update..you name it, I am there..I am your humble servant...As for Ruth's sassy eggs, I am in total agreement...But please, stop teasing us, *wait, I like the teasing* NO NO, *BEGS, PLEADS, LOOKS PATHETIC* Oh hell, I am totally screwed....

[sheila wt]

I know "wow" has been way over used in this thread and we should be able to come up with more ellaborate compliments and analysis... but that's not possible, I'm sorry. It's your own fault, Sass, you always leave us speechless, brain dead.



I couldn't even write a reply after I read it last night. I had to go get my girlfriend for a "talk"...



Goddess, woman, that was hot! It really was worth the waiting. I swear, the words seemed to be jumping out of the screen so full of life and passion they were!



Oh, like all the smittens, I'm all open for you. Just tell me what you want to give us another update!!!



Why, oh why, do I have this feeling that, after all this W&T goodness, something really, really bad is going to happen? I've been reading too many of Lisa's stories, I guess...

Well judging by the precedent that was set in Once More With Feeling, I kind of think when Willow goes "downtown", she makes a day of it.

LOL no harrasing the bard while she is at work.



*looks tall and stern*



I will be done when it is done, and if anyone has an issue with that, they can take it up with me.



*soften a bit*



As an aside I think Sass was inspired by the cheerleading and Catholic School Girl uniforms. I know I have enjoyed them in my own, non male chauvinistic way, since you all have started.



-Y

[WebWarlock]

You know I feel bad about not talking about the first part. Kinda got distracted with all the smut!



Anyway. This was really sweet. I can so see Tara wanting to do all of this for Willow. I had a great mental picture of Tara sitting in the library hunched over with a few books sometime right after "Doomed" in Season 4 wanting to know everything about this new girl in her life. But if shy, questing for knowledge Tara is cute, well bold, pantyless Tara is...well something else all together!



The dinner scene was great. You took such care in writting it. Now which one of you is in love with Willow? Sass or Tara?

I really enjoyed it. Of course know there is the whole bit about what exactly the spell does. Oh and the bit of why could we see that on TV. Oh, I think I know why.

If Sassette is getting back to writing, maybe it's time for another Smitten Squad maneuver. Pyramid? Cheerleader toss? Shower her with panties? Anyone have any ideas?



As an aside, I was having dinner with a tutoring student and his family (whom I've know for years - the older sister was my student) and the older sister was telling us about the mindless TV she'd watched while she was home sick today. One of the things she'd watched was some documentary or behind the scenes thing about cheerleaders! I (very professionally, I thought) restrained myself from asking if they were wearing panties, and settled for asking "Did they cheer?" Apparently they did. I managed to giggle quietly enough that I didn't have to explain why it was funny.

[Bobos Mom]

Pixie -

You sounded like Anya with your reply at dinner - a good thing.



I already have my beer helmet on in hopes of an update, but I'm more than happy to aid you in the flippage. I'm tall enough to spot. As long as it doesn't tip the beverage hat, I'm up for anything if it brings Sassette some pleasure and inspiration.

TARA: Willow and I always know how to find each other!

ANYA: With yoga?

[Mufin53]

Compliment her, propose to her, make her a sammich, compliment her, offer to have her children, dress up in plaid for her, and say wow...



but after an update like that, can't we wait at least 2 days before pestering her for another update?

PUH-leez, people! Where is your apreciation?

...

Sass, when are you going to udate again? I really love everying you have written, and that last bit was just so sweet and soft and hot (and wet) that I don't know how long we can wait like this!

Compliment her....Check. (i think we have done some of that)



Propose to her...Check. (i've done that on more than one occassion)



Make her a sammich...Check. (with Chicken no less)



Offer to have her Children...Check. (did that way back when she first started this Fic)



Dress up in Plaid for her...Check. (wearing flannel plaid jammies right now)



Say Wow...Check. (i don't think any of the Smitten-Kittens have refrained from doing that)



So now do I get an Update?

D'oh! I left off "Shower her with panties," "cheer for her" and "write fake updates." I should have been more inclusive and tried to remember the other worthy deeds her devoted smittens have done.

Sorry.







And girls, remeber to to get those outfits and floats ready for tomorrow night (Wednesday, 10 PM eastern), extra credit for tartan!

Ciao, Bellas!

*opens mouth to speak......shuts again......trys to open it again*



Wow! I really need a cold shower, these stories are having far to much effect on me......mind you they are cheaper than a dildo..................and don`t wear out as quick.........actually i`ve probably worn out half a dozen since first visiting this board. Darn you super smut writers!



Hmmm - *re-reading her post* Does anyone else think that I gave away far to much information about my private life!

[Sassette]

**Drakkenfyre: I'm glad you like the teasing - I'll be sure to continue *G* Oh, and Drakkenfyre? I >>so<< love your avatar.

**sheila_wt: I'm really glad you liked it - and as for why you have this ominous feeling ... ? Maybe it's because it's always brightest before someone comes along and tosses you into the deepest pits of Hell. Or something like that.

**AutumnT: Passed out forever? Probably not ... but y'know, they're in a happy place right now. I like that *G* But seriously, it took me awhile to decide exactly where to pick up the next chapter, so now that I have that all squared away, I can start in with the writing. I should have it all done by tonight.

**tommo: You just can't fault that girl's sense of focus. *G*

**Puff: Thanks *G* I'm glad to hear it's re-readable. I sure as heck didn't re-read it. If I don't read it, it doesn't exist, and I can still say I don't write sex scenes *G*

**Yuri: Heh ... I have a thick skin ... they can harrass me ... as long as everyone realizes the chances of me updating while I'm AT work are rather slim *G*

**WebWarlock: Don't worry - I realize the NotSex was rather distracting. However - I'm glad to hear you thought it was sweet. And for the record, Tara and I both love Willow. Oh, and Willow and I both love Tara. And Dawn and I both love Willow and Tara being happy together. It's a Love Fest, but not in a prison way.

**Pixie: Heh ... that's a cute story. I don't know if I mentioned this in the thread, or just to you specifically - but the whole 'pantieless' thing was in there because of you all. I hadn't even thought of it - Yuri actually mentioned it, in fact - and when he did, I just kinda' went, "Yeah ... pantieless Willow and Tara ... Great Idea!" Normally, I would have reacted in a much more ... ummm ... reticent fashion. You Smittens are corrupting me

**Bobos Mom: Pleasure me! Errr, I mean ... umm ... Inspire Me! Uhh ... heh.

**Mufin: 2 Days? I get two whole days off? Yay!!! I'll, umm, update tonight.

**TX: Oh, wow ...ummm ... you ARE my bitch. I guess I owe you an update especially *G* I'll, uh, get right on that.

**blameburner: Congratulations on the Floating Rose thing - and good job cleaning under the bed *G* I'll finish the update tonight and get it posted.

**Mufin: Actually, I, uhh ... kinda' wrote my own fake update. Heh.

**capricornmist: Wow. TMI. *G* Thanks for sharing!

-Sass
------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to excuse me, but I'm in a weird mood today. I haven't finished the update, but this THING just kinda' popped into my head. So I typed it up real quick.

But it's not a real update. It's a fake one. I basically just wrote a fake update for my own story - and good lord, could that be any weirder?

So here it is AD 43 and 1/3 - Interlude

Buffy opened the front door, smiling as Dawn continued to laugh.

About a block away, the two sisters had grinned at each other, and Dawn had uttered the two words that caused even the slightest of sibling rivalry to flare up and take over, no matter how adult and mature the siblings in question became.

"Race ya'," Dawn had said with a grin as she took off, getting the obligatory head start.

"Oh, that is SO not fair," Buffy grumbled, standing still for a moment before breaking into a run.

"Like the Slayer Speed is fair?" Dawn yelled back as Buffy passed her with ease.

They were both laughing and breathing hard when they reached the door, though Buffy was more out of breath from trying to laugh, run and talk all at the same time than the actual physical exertion of running.

"You are such a dork," Dawn said, though the smile in her eyes took all the teenage-sting out of it.

"Probably," Buffy said with a shrug as they walked into the house.

"Okay, now I'm just a kid, but even I know that's not safe," Dawn said with a frown, pointing out the still-lit candles around the room.

"I guess they forgot about those," Buffy said with a shrug, moving around the room and blowing out the candles.

"Probably. I wonder if they're up yet?" Dawn said, a note of hope in her voice. The only thing Giles had told anyone about the evening alone he had arranged for Willow and Tara was that they were going to try a spell to block the Trickster from hurting Willow anymore, and that Tara wanted to have a traditional Shabbat with Willow. Dawn had thought it sounded like fun until Giles had explained that Tara wouldn't allow any electricity - which meant no TV, no stereo, and no computer.

"I don't know," Buffy said, wandering into the kitchen. The oven was on, and she peeked inside, seeing some dish of some sort she didn't recognize warming. "I thought they weren't allowed to cook?" Buffy asked out loud as Dawn came up behind her.

"Well, technically, that's not cooking," Dawn answered. "It's just, y'know, staying warm."

"Hmm ..." Buffy said with a frown. "I just so don't get it."

"Me neither," Dawn confessed. "But it makes sense to Willow and Tara, so ... y'know, whatever," she said with a shrug.

"Right," Buffy agreed. Dawn stepped into the dining room as Buffy continued to look at the food. She honestly had no idea what it was, but if Tara had made it, it was probably good.

Buffy looked up sharply when she heard a squeak from the dining room, shutting the over and getting into the other room quickly.

Dawn's hand covered her mouth and her face was beet red as she tried not to laugh, her eyes wide open as she gaped at the floor.

"What?" Buffy asked, coming up to stand next to Dawn. She gaped, then clapped her hand over Dawn's eyes. "I'm sure they were, umm ... doing laundry," Buffy said quickly.

"Laundry?" Dawn asked with a smirk. "Please tell me you can do better than that?"

"Well, you try to come up with G-Rated excuses for a couple pairs of panties lying on the floor of the dining room to share with your impressionable younger sister," Buffy complained.

A thump and an extremly loud moan drifted down the stairs, and Buffy's eyes grew wide.

"Umm ... magick shop?" Dawn asked, trying to pull back from Buffy's hand over her eyes.

"Yeah," Buffy agreed, tugging her sister from the room and heading back out the front door, a wicked grin crossing her face as she realized just how much teasing potential this held.

I don't know Sass, I'll take that as an update for now. LOL.

Oh my God! You are so going to get me in trouble at work! That is too damned funny. Thanks for the interlude Sass! And the laundry excuse..ehehe.

**Autumn: Oh, good ... I bought myself a little time *G* Seriously, though, it's something that jumped into my head that I thought would be amusing, but wouldn't fit into the fic, because I couldn't see Giles letting Buffy and Dawn go back to the house that early. Hence the fakeness of the update.



**TX: Glad you liked it. Sick freak



**Yuri: Conference calls? Something like that, yeah. It was more of a coffee break at my desk instead of at the cafe kind of thing, but same difference.



**wiccachica: Yeah, yeah ... everyone loves the panties. *G* And I'm glad I have finally become the "bomb-diggety-bomb". That's been a lifetime ambition, y'know. I used to merely be the "bomb", but now that I am the "bomb-diggety-bomb" I feel like my life is complete.

I liked it as well. I'll take it as a real update. Maybe Buffy and Dawn went for ice cream and had to stop by to see how things were going...



I am in dire need for good fan fics today. So thanks a million Sass.

Now I get to see if I get to compete with the 7,000 people laid off from Andersen today. Crap, the job market already sucks.
