Love the update, I really liked the final unwrapping part.



I eagerly await the next update.

Tara: I got so lost

Willow: I found you... I will always find you

[pikescoob]

[Broken hart]

[WillowTarafan98]

foreverpiper: I thought it would be funny to have Willow say that in front of Giles, I mean she is always putting her foot in her mouth, I just thought it’d be cute, I’m glad you liked it! J



Jennpurr: I always liked Jenny as well. I hoped you guys would like them giving each other the same photo, their always thinking alike so I figured it kinda fit. And the next Ch. does pick up where this one left off but it may not be what you think



MissQuirky: I’m glad you liked the song! I wrote that a while back, and when I started this fic. I just thought it would fit prefect for Willow and Tara. And I agree I always thought Faith and Buffy would have made a cute couple, that’s not saying they will be in the story but that’s not saying they won’t either



Thanatopsis: It’s cool you diged the tree! I was debating on wither to put that in or not, but I’m glad I did now, I just thought it would be a very Tara thing to do if someone never had something like that before she always seams so caring to me.



singgirl: I promise not to hit you with flying objects!! I also like Faith and always have, maybe I’ve just had a big crush on her portrayer



spazz07: Yeah I laugh at that to, it seamed like a Willow thing to do, she gets in trouble with her words a lot! And I know at least I’ve been their with the gift buying!!



snuggle79: I like Jenny to! I agree she left WAY to soon, they could have used her more!



fidds: Thanks J I’ll try to keep up the sweetness for you J



Ange: Dream Christmas right? Man I wish mine turned out so well!! Thanks for sticking around for both stories! You rock



Centauri2002: Final unwrapping’s are always the best aren’t they Thanks for reading!



pikescoob: Hey I’m glad someone noticed that! I thought that would be such a Willow thing to do, and I laughed when I was writing it, then again I laugh at a lot of my own jokes and no one else does so I was a tad worried J



Broken hart: Thanks for always checking for an update! I’ll try to get you one soon.



Grimaldi: Thanks so much!! I’ll do my best to make the rest readable J



ally02: Awww all you want to Makes me feel good J I’m glad you liked the song, as I said I wrote it a while back and wanted to put it in this fic, and this Ch. Seamed like the perfect spot for it. ((Promotional item now::: I will be having an album coming out soon, nothing major but on a local label, it will include the song in this ch.)) Just to let you know



Ok well I think that’s it, if I missed anyone I’m very sorry, thanks so much to you all for reading!! I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it again, the feedback is the whole reason I write, I love to hear what people think, it’s funny though cause my high school English teachers told me I didn’t’ have the grammar skills to write anything. So you know what the first thing I did my freshman year was? Sit down and write a script! That’ll show them! Yeah my grammar isn’t that great but dang it I love to write! Now that I’m in college my teachers say I have a style they like. Needless to say my papers keep me from failing, the grammar well that’s never stuck And when I hear people like what I’m writing, well that makes me smile big time J Ok going to sleep now, more work tomorrow. L If I don’t always respond one on one to your feedback, it’s because I’m WAY busy, but always know I love to hear from each and everyone of you!! Ok I’ve proven how longwinded I am later everyone

If you woke up breathing, congratulations, you have another chance!

I miss Jenny, actually. She did wrong by Buffy, but I truely feel that she deeply regretted it. She was a good person. And yes, the photo giving was very sweet. Made me smile.



OH.. I wasn't thinking that. I was just thinking that it would be really nice to see them all cuddly and getting with the snuggles. Can't have enough of those, or smoochies. That's all I meant by that.



Looking forward to Part 5.

Hee... you are very welcome. Don't worry.. that makes two of us, at times.



Okay... I'm off to bed now, I'm



Hee... I mainly just wanted to use that adorable as hell, little yawney icon. It's so damn cute.



Night, Piper.

[OhGroovetasticOne]

i just wanted to offer my thanks for the lovely image of tara in a swimsuit, playing guitar, while speaking/singing with an english accent. that one will stay with you. this is such a cute fic and i'll continue to look for it whenever i drop by pens.

-KT

but then what kind of scale compares the weight of two beauties, the gravity of duties or the ground speed of joy? tell me what kind of gauge can quantify elation? what kind of equation could I possibly employ?

[xita]

Very cute fic. The premise of Tara as Gile's daughter has great appeal. And they are darn adorable.. I know it's a ways back but I loved the way Willow came out to Tara. She just blurted out, "i like girls" hee. Thanks for the story!

[WillowTarafan98]

The Next Tara Maclay: Get it to you soon



Jennpurr: '''sure''' j/k I agree, we didn't get to see enough of the Willow/Tara lovefest onscreen so they deserve all they can get in the stories



foreverpiper: Don't feel bad I get the quotes and stuff mixed up to! Working on the next part, just having some writers block at the moment.



OhGroovetasticOne: Thanks! Please do keep looking for updates, hopefully they'll come to me soon, my head is a little fuzzy now, to much work! I need time off to write dang it!!



xita: Hey Thanks so much! That line makes me giggle to. Gald you liked it!





Ok well that's it for tonight, I was planning on posting an update but I had some friends over after work and they beat me at my fav. playstation 2 game (well one of my fav's) and I've had writers block eversince!! DANG IT!! It was very traumatizing, we played Madden 2001 and my team (Tampa Bay Bucks) Lost by like 40 points, I'm having last season flashbacks on my game!! But I'm going to try and finish the next Ch. tomorrow I have about 4 pages done, but its just finishing up that's proving to be a thorn. I don't want to force anything cause if your forcing stuff it doesn't' work as well as when your just letting it flow, or for me anyways. So I guess I'll talk to everyone soon. Thanks for the feedback



I'm sleepy!! Must go to sleep...... zzzzz



Later everyone!

Title: High School and All Things Scary (Part 5)

Author: Stephie

Email: TaraWillowfan21@aol.com

Feedback: Yes Please I’d Love To Have Feedback

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.







Cut to Willow’s Bedroom. Tara is leaning on the headboard, and Willow is resting her head on Tara’s leg. Their covered by a sheet.



WILLOW: (Looks around) When did morning happen?

TARA: After the moon went down!

WILLOW: That was like, Wow!

TARA: I know!

WILLOW: (Leans up and kisses Tara) (Happens to notice the time) Oh god!

TARA: What?

WILLOW: It’s twelve o’clock!

TARA: Huh!

WILLOW: We’ve got to get to Buffy’s before Giles does!



Cut to Buffy’s kitchen where her and her mother are working on dinner together. Theirs a knock on the door.



BUFFY: (Notices it’s Willow and Tara) Oh come in guys!

WILLOW: (Walks in with Tara then shuts the door) Merry Christmas!

BUFFY: (Smirks) Bet it is! (Off look from her mother) Um Merry Christmas!

TARA: Morning Mrs. Summers.

MRS. SUMMERS: Morning Tara.

GILES: (Walks in) I thought I heard your voices! (Hugs Tara) Merry Christmas!

TARA: (Looks a little frighten) Dad, you’re here already! Oh Merry Christmas!

GILES: Yes, Buffy said you’d just gone to pick up Willow.

TARA: That’s right. (Shoot’s Buffy a ‘thank you’ look)

GILES: Well then, Joyce can I help with anything?

MRS. SUMMERS: Not at all, just go enjoy yourself!



Mrs. Summers, and Giles goes into the living room caring eggnog.



TARA: Wow how’d you keep your mom in on this?

FAITH: (Walks behind Tara) Let’s just say your friend Buffy snores very loudly!

TARA: (Laughs) You stayed here?

FAITH: Yeah, had to have someone on the floor pretending to be you!

WILLOW: She actually thought you were Tara?

FAITH: Well I didn’t actually speak to her red, I was asleep!

BUFFY: And covered up!

FAITH: Yeah I hope it was worth it! (Winks at Tara)

TARA: (Just blushes)

WILLOW: Did I see eggnog??



Cut to the dining table, the gang is all around eating. Ms. Summers gets up to get the plates.



XANDER: I’m about ready to barff!

BUFFY: Xander!

XANDER: No, barff as in all was good!

MS. SUMMERS: I’m taking it as a complement!

GILES: (Gets up to help Joyce with the plates)

CORDELIA: (Rolls her eyes at Xander) Your so gross!

XANDER: What?

TARA: (Laughs)

FAITH: Well your boy knows how to express himself Cordy!

BUFFY: Well, seeing as you talk like him you should know!

XANDER: (Laughs)

FAITH: (Shoots Xander a look)

XANDER: Sorry!



A few days latter. Cut to Giles house. Tara walks down the stairs in her shorts and t-shirt.



GILES: Morning.

TARA: (Replies weakly) Morning.

GILES: Are you all right?

TARA: (Sits at the table) I don’t’ feel so good dad.

GILES: (Feels of her forehead) Dear lord, you’re burning up!



Little while latter Tara is lying on the couch when the doorbell rings.



TARA: (Gets up) Just a minute. (Sneezes) (Opens the door to see Willow)

WILLOW: (Has a bag in her arms) Hey!

TARA: What are you doing here?

WILLOW: I come bring cold curing goodness! (Walks in then shuts the door) I wasn’t sure what your symptoms where but when Giles came to school this morning and said you were sick, well I left and went to the store! (Starts taking different brands of cold medicine out, along with Kleenexes)

TARA: You left school?

WILLOW: Of course! I’m not going to let you be home alone and sick! Now this one is supposed to help with coughing, and this one is supposed to help with sore throats and this one is supposed to help with fever, cause Giles said you had a fever, and then this is for your nose so you don’t get all red! (Looks at Tara) What?

TARA: (Hugs Willow)



Cut to Tara’s room.



TARA: (Asleep on the bed)

WILLOW: (Walks in carrying a tray with soup) Tara, wake up.

TARA: (Opens her eyes) Huh?

WILLOW: I brought you some soup.

TARA: (Sits up in bed) I thought you couldn’t cook?

WILLOW: Well, (Puts the tray on Tara’s lap then sits beside her) It’s not that hard to put a bowl in the microwave and mash the power button! (Grins)

TARA: (Smiles)

WILLOW: Now open up! (Gets a spoon full of soup and feeds it to Tara) How is it?

TARA: Best soup ever!

WILLOW: Good we have to get you well; the swim meet is in two weeks!

TARA: Oh I see just doing this for your school huh? (Playing)

WILLOW: Not so much, I just want to see you in that bathing suit again! (Smiles)



Cut to the library where everyone but Tara and Willow are gathered.



BUFFY: All I’m saying is I’m sure they would have let you back in your old school!

FAITH: Yeah right! B, you’ve never gotten into any trouble have you? Besides, I kinda like it here!

BUFFY: Great, and just so you know, not that I think it’s important for you to understand me, but just so you know, I have gotten into trouble!

FAITH: And what happen?

BUFFY: (Mumbles) I had to transfer schools!

FAITH: (Laughs)

GILES: Well, I do hope you’ll be more restrained while here with us Faith, I understand last time was an accident, but do try to be more careful ok?

FAITH: No problem! I’m like accident free! (About that time falls backwards in her chair) (Stands up real fast) I meant to do that!

XANDER: (Burst into laughter) Ok now that was classic!

BUFFY: (Looks at Giles) How’s Tara doing?

GILES: She told me she was feeling a bit better.

CORDELIA: Well I just hope she’s better in time for the swim match! If she’s not where so dead!!

XANDER: Yes dear cause the swim match is the most important thing!

CORDELIA: Well of course not Tara needs to be there, so she’s important to!

FAITH: Quite a catch you got their Xander.





That night after patrol Buffy is walking home.



SPIKE: Well, well if it isn’t the slayer!

BUFFY: (Looks around) What do you want?

SPIKE: Many things! Thanks for taking the time to ask! (Looks around) No watcher? Rupert must be slipping? Oh I forgot dear old Tara is sick! That’s more important then his slayer!

BUFFY: How the hell did you know about Tara?

SPIKE: (Grins) I have my ways pet. His family has always been his downfall though. So if I where you, I’d watch your back slayer. Cause if he had to choose it wouldn’t be you he’d pick. And trust me soon he’ll have to choose.

BUFFY: What does that mean?

SPIKE: (Laughs) You’ll find out soon enough! (Disappears)

BUFFY: This can’t be good! (Runs towards Giles house)



Cut to Giles place, Willow and Giles are getting ready to go out the door.



GILES: I’ll just be a few minutes, are you sure you’ll be ok by yourself?

TARA: (Grins) I’ll be fine, besides, Willow’s the one who needs the ride home!

GILES: Quite right.

WILLOW: Looks like my parents could have at least came and got me since they’ve summoned me home! I swear they come home for a few days and think they rule the house! (Gets a small grin from Tara) Ok so it is their house!

GILES: Well, come along dear before it gets to late.

WILLOW: (Kisses Tara) Feel better ok! School’s not the same without you their to get my lunch for me!

TARA: (Grins) I’ll try.



Willow and Giles walk out the door. A few minutes later theirs a knock on the door.



TARA: (Smiles) Dad did you forget your keys again? (Opens the door) Oh God!



Cut to Willow’s house. Giles and Willow walk through the front door.



WILLOW: (Looking around) Mom! Dad! (Looks at Giles) That’s strange, why wouldn’t they be here if they wanted me to come home?

GILES: (Knows something’s up) I’m not sure Willow.

SPIKE: (Stands at the entrance of the Rosenberg home) My, my Rupert your slipping!

GILES: (Turns around) Willow stay behind me, he can’t come in unless you invite him!

SPIKE: (Walks in) You mean like this?

GILES: How the hell?

SPIKE: Nice people the Rosenberg’s they invite salesmen into their home no questions asked!

WILLOW: Oh god! Mom! Dad! (Starts up the stairs but Spike blocks her)

SPIKE: Sorry pet, they’re not going to answer! Kinda like you in a few moments!

GILES: (Pulls a vile of holy water out of his pocket, and pours it on Spike) Get away from her!

SPIKE: (Screams with pain) Dear god Rupert! That’s ok; as we speak you shall receive payback! This isn’t over!! (Runs out the door)

GILES: (Thinks about that statement) Dear lord Tara!

WILLOW: (Looks in the kitchen at two bodies lying on the floor as the phone rings) (Grabs the phone, answers shaken) Hello! (Shocked) Mom! Oh god! Where are you? The airport in England? No everything’s… Yeah see you then. (Hangs the phone up and Falls into Giles arms) Their ok!

GILES: (Looks in the kitchen)

WILLOW: It’s Rosie and her husband. Our maid.

GILES: (Hugs Willow)

WILLOW: Oh! God! Giles, what about Tara! We have to get back to your house!



Pan into Giles house, we see the door is open and it looks like a struggle has taken place. Willow and Giles run into the house.



GILES: (Looks panicked) (See’s some feet sticking out from behind the couch) Please god no!

WILLOW: (Scared to death) (Looks at Giles) (Then back at the couch) No!
