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!
