TaraWillowfan21@aol.comFeedback: 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.
Pan to Giles running to the body behind the couch.
GILES: (Looks down) Buffy!
BUFFY: (Sits up with a big lump on her head) Gosh, don’t vampires know to hit somewhere besides the head! (Stands up) (Looks around)
WILLOW: Where’s Tara?!?
BUFFY: The grabbed her as I was coming in, I tired to stop them, (Looks down) but I couldn’t.
GILES: (Faces of rage) We have to get her back! (Goes for his weapon chest)
BUFFY: Giles we can’t just go marching out without a plan!
GILES: I have one, kill them all!
BUFFY: Good plan!
Cut to the underground chamber where Spike still has his goons digging.
SPIKE: Will you hurry it up! We’ve only got three more days!
VAMP: Where digging as fast as we can!
SPIKE: (Hits the Vamp) Don’t ever back talk me! I’m the boss, don’t you ever forget that!
VAMP: (Growls)
About that time three vamps walk in caring Tara.
SPIKE: It’s about bloody time!
TARA: (Slowly raises her head to see Spike) You!
JIMMY: (Walks beside Spike) Hi’a sis!
TARA: (Faints)
SPIKE: I’d say she took that well? (Looks at Jimmy)
JIMMY: (Grins)
Cut to the library the whole gang is around the table, they all look worn out; the sun is shinning through the windows.
BUFFY: We looked everywhere Giles. I’m not sure… (Cut off by Giles)
GILES: Then why the bloody hell didn’t we find her!
BUFFY: Their isn’t anything else we can do till the sun goes down!
GILES: Your wrong! I’m going back out!
WILLOW: Giles, I want to find her to, but where all worn out, if we do run into any vamps we won’t be able to fight them.
GILES: Speak for yourself!
BUFFY: (Grabs Giles arm) I won’t let you go back out!
GILES: (Shrugs Buffy off) Don’t tell me what to do, you’re just a child!
BUFFY: (Looks hurt)
GILES: (Storms out)
FAITH: (Looks at Buffy) B, you ok?
BUFFY: Fine!
FAITH: You have to understand, when he lost Aunt Page and Jimmy, he changed. (The group turns to face her) He dropped Tara off in Texas and left for six months! He um had to track them down and stake them. When he came back, he didn’t look at Tara for weeks, then one day he just started crying. All I’m trying to say is, if he looses her to, he won’t recover. He already feels responsible for loosing the rest of his family.
WILLOW: But why was Spike so hell bent on going after Giles?
FAITH: When Giles was younger, he hung with a pretty bad crowd, well they killed Spike’s girlfriend Dru, and he’s been after Giles ever since, he told him once that he would know the pain he felt. And I guess he’s going to make that come true.
WILLOW: OH no! Where not loosing Tara! I won’t let that happen! Buffy we can’t let that happen! (Almost in tears)
BUFFY: (Looks around at her tired friends) Here’s the plan!
Cut to Spikes underground layer. Tara is chained to the wall Jimmy is standing in front of her.
JIMMY: It really is good to see you.
TARA: You’re not real! You’re some kind of dream! Your dead!
JIMMY: Well, you’re right about the last part! (Grins)
TARA: Dad staked you!
JIMMY: (Laughs) Is that what he told you? Truth is, I stopped him from staking mom! He was going to kill our mother Tara!
TARA: Mom? She’s here?
JIMMY: (Looks sad) No. An angry crowd caught us, she was killed. (Looks at Spike) Spike saved me, but I couldn’t get to mom.
TARA: How could Spike have saved you Jimmy, he’s the one who turned you!
JIMMY: Yes, it’s true, but you wouldn’t believe the way I feel now Tara! It’s like I have all this power!
TARA: (Coughs)
JIMMY: Your sick! See I don’t get sick anymore!
TARA: I think I’ll take a heartbeat any day!
JIMMY: (Grins) Always the joker! That’s ok you don’t have to decide right now, but soon.
TARA: Decide what?
JIMMY: Wither when we kill you, you’ll rise again, or die for good! (Walks away)
TARA: (Looks at her brother in shock)
JIMMY: (Walks over to Spike) She’ll come around, give her time!
SPIKE: She bloody well better! We need her!
JIMMY: Give me some time; I’ve always been able to talk her into things.
SPIKE: If she’s not on our side by tomorrow night, and the gem is still in the ground…
JIMMY: Trust me! She’ll be with us!
SPIKE: (Pins Jimmy to the wall) For your sake, you’d better be right!
Cut back to the library the gang walks in, it’s starting to get close to sundown. Giles is asleep at the table.
BUFFY: Giles!
GILES: (Jumps up) Where have you all been?
FAITH: Searching for Tara!
GILES: (Looks at the book he was asleep on) We may have a problem.
XANDER: G-man you feel asleep on a book! Go you!
GILES: (Shoots Xander a ‘shut up’ look)
BUFFY: What is it?
GILES: I found a prophecy that in tales vampires taking over the world.
CORDELIA: So what else is new?
GILES: It states it shall be a duo of brother and sister, working side by side together to dig up the gem of Zimbert.
WILLOW: Ok but how does this fit with why Spike took Tara?
GILES: Cause I’m assuming he has Jimmy as well. (Pulls off his glasses)
BUFFY: (Confused)
FAITH: What?
BUFFY: Jimmy? Jimmy who?
WILLOW: Tara’s brother.
BUFFY: Oh.
FAITH: But he’s dead!
GILES: Yes he is dead…
WILLOW: You staked him? Right?
GILES: (Puts his head down) When I found him and his mother, I’d traveled many parts of Europe, then one rainy night I found them, I tried to do what was right, I had Page… and about the time I was going to stake her Jimmy stopped me. He threw me to the ground and knocked me out… After that I knew I’d never be able to kill them, so I went back to Texas for Tara.
FAITH: So they’re still alive… Well you know what I mean!
GILES: I’m afraid so. (Looks at Buffy) I tell you what to do, but in reality, I’m in no position to, when I couldn’t even do the right thing!
BUFFY: Giles they where your family! I’m sure anyone would have done the same thing!
GILES: But if Tara dies now, it’s all my fault!
WILLOW: Then we stop it!
GILES: I’m afraid it’s not so simple Willow, if Tara gets turned into a Vampire and helps Spike and Jimmy, the only way to stop the gems power once it’s removed from the earth is to kill the ones who dug it out.
BUFFY: And the brother and sister have to be the one’s to dig it out?
GILES: Well, it can be dug out by others but the ones who must remove it for the power…Yes that would have to be Jimmy and Tara.
XANDER: Bummer!
BUFFY: Then we find them! Tonight! (Puts her hand on Giles shoulder) We’ll get her back!
WILLOW: (Looks a little sad)
BUFFY: (Hugs Willow) (Whispers in her friend ear) She’ll be ok Will.
WILLOW: (Hugs Buffy back)
Cut back to Tara. Jimmy is by her again.
JIMMY: So the red head? Is that your new girlfriend?
TARA: (Doesn’t say anything)
JIMMY: Relax; I’m just making conservation. We used to talk about everything!
TARA: You used to be alive!
JIMMY: (Laughs)
TARA: (Coughs again, except it sounds worse)
JIMMY: (Looks concerned) Hey, are you ok?
TARA: I’m chained up underground? What do you thing?
JIMMY: I meant the cough! It sounds pretty bad?
TARA: Yeah well I was resting at home.
JIMMY: (Looks at another vamp) Go get her some cough syrup or something!
TARA: (Notices a hit on her brother) (Sad smile)
JIMMY: What?
TARA: Always looking out for me.
JIMMY: Yeah well, I need you healthy! (Trying to play it off)
SPIKE: (Walks up to Tara and grins) Well, looks like you two are getting reacquainted. (Runs his hand over Tara’s face) How about…
JIMMY: (Pushes Spike away) Don’t ever touch her!
SPIKE: (Gets in Jimmy’s face) I don’t know who you think you are, but I call the shots around here!
JIMMY: Yeah well you need us! And I say you don’t touch her!
SPIKE: (Growls then walks away)
TARA: Thanks.
JIMMY: It’s nothing! (Walks away)
Cut back to the library, Jenny walks in on the group.
JENNY: (Looks at the tired Scooby gang) Whoa what happen?
WILLOW: Exams! Their killer!
JENNY: (Notices Giles sad look) Are you ok?
GILES: Yes, can I help you with anything?
JENNY: Actually… I don’t know how to put this, but I was thinking I could help you.
GILES: I beg your pardon?
JENNY: (Looks at Buffy) (Then back at Giles) I haven’t been completely honest with you.
GILES: What?
JENNY: (Puts her head down before looking back at Giles) The council sent me here to monitor you, if something happen with your mental state I was to report into them.
GILES: (Upset) So is that what your doing! Reliving me of duty! You picked a bad time… (Cut off by Jenny)
JENNY: No I’m here to say, I can help, I think I know where Spike is keeping Tara!
WILLOW: You know about that?
JENNY: Yes. I also know about Jimmy.
GILES: (Looks very, very upset) Well why the hell have you waited this long to come to us!
JENNY: Cause I was researching a spell my people had in ancient times, to give a vampire back his soul. (Hands Giles a piece of paper) I’m pretty sure I can do it.
XANDER: Tara’s a vampire!
JENNY: No Xander! Jimmy.
XANDER: Oh right! I knew that.
FAITH: Smart brain boy!
CORDELIA: Hey, only I can insult him!
GILES: Enough! (Looks at Jenny) Do you really know where they’re keeping her?
JENNY: I’m almost certain.
WILLOW: Then why are we still here??
Cut to Spikes digging chambers. The diggers have reached a small golden box.
JIMMY: (Laughing with Tara) Remember that time we went fishing with dad!
TARA: (Laughing) I’ve never seen him so out of place!
JIMMY: I know!
SPIKE: Finally!! (Pulls Jimmy to the side) Turn her now! Or I will.
JIMMY: (Walks over to Tara) I don’t want him touching you.
TARA: Jimmy please don’t’ do this!
JIMMY: (Looks at Spike then back at Tara)
SPIKE: If she doesn’t’ rise by morning, your dust!
BUFFY: Well, you could say the same thing about you! (Starts to fight with some of the vampires)
TARA: (Notices the Scooby gang has made their way into the chamber) Dad!
GILES: (Smiles when he sees Tara)
JIMMY: Dad. (Hits Giles) Good to see you again.
Everyone is fighting with someone/thing. Faith, Buffy, Xander, Willow, Cordelia and Jenny. Tara is trying to break free. Giles gets up and pins Jimmy to the wall.
GILES: Son, I don’t want to stake you, but if I must this time I will!
JIMMY: You don’t have the guts!
Pan over to Willow and Tara.
WILLOW: (Runs to Tara) Are you ok?
TARA: Not so much! Duck!
WILLOW: Huh! (Ducks to miss a flying piece of wood) Thanks! (Tries to un chain Tara) Damn it! I can’t get these off.
TARA: Spike has the keys I think.
Pan back to Jimmy and Giles.
GILES: There must be some part of you still in there, help your sister! Don’t help Spike take over the world!
JIMMY: (Laughs) Spike doesn’t want to take over the world! He wants to be human again! That’s what the Gem does; it turns its holders back into humans!
GILES: No! He’s lying to you!
JIMMY: No he’s not! (Hits Giles) We will be human again! Only immortal!
GILES: He’ll get what he wants from you, and then kill you!
Pan back to Tara and Willow.
WILLOW: (Yells to Buffy) Get the keys!
Pan to Buffy fighting Spike.
BUFFY: (Notices keys dangling from Spikes belt) you know, (Knocks Spike down and grabs the keys) it’s not nice to kidnap people! Will, heads up! (Throws the keys to Willow)
Pan to Willow and Tara.
WILLOW: (Drops the keys) Shoot! (Leans down to get the keys)
Pan to Faith fighting a vamp. Has very good skills.
FAITH: And that’s for breaking my favorite lamp in the house! And that’s for taking my cousin! (Stakes the vamp)
Most of the vamps are now dead except Spike and Jimmy.
Pan to Willow freeing Tara.
TARA: (Hugs Willow) I knew you’d come!
WILLOW: Had to save my girl! (Smiles)
SPIKE: (Comes up and grabs Tara) Well then you’re a little late! (Holds a knife to Tara’s neck) If any of you come close I’ll kill her!
JIMMY: (Notices this) (Look of rage on his face) I said not to touch her! (Knocks Spike and Tara down) (Starts fighting with Spike)
WILLOW: (With Faiths help, gets Tara to the side)
SPIKE: You stupid twit! (Knocks Jimmy out) This isn’t over! (Runs out)
GILES: Tara!
TARA: (Runs to Giles and hugs him) Dad!
GILES: I was so worried!
TARA: (Just hold on tight to her father)
FAITH: (Looks down at Jimmy) So what do we do with him?
Cut to the library, Jimmy is in the cage still knocked out. The gang is around the table; Jenny has just finished her spell.
TARA: What if it didn’t work?
GILES: Then we’ll have to… (Puts his head down)
TARA: But he saved me?
GILES: A moment of compassion that’s all it was, he’s still a killer!
TARA: He’s Jimmy!
WILLOW: (Holds Tara’s hand)
JIMMY: He’s right. (Looks different, has a fear in his face, and his eyes show a soul) I deserve to die! (Stands up) All the things I’ve done… (Tears come to his face, sinks back to the floor)
TARA: (Runs to the cage and opens the door)
JIMMY: (Turns away from Tara)
TARA: (Pulls her brother into a hug)
JIMMY: (Burst into tears as he hugs Tara as tight as possible)
GILES: (Pulls his glasses off) Jimmy?
TARA: (Stands up pulling her brother with her.)
JIMMY: (Walks in front of Giles) Dad.
GILES: (Pulls Jimmy into a hug)
FAITH: Well! I’d say this calls for celebration! (Looks at Buffy) What do you say, your room, oh nine o’clock?
BUFFY: (Blushes) I don’t’ think so!
XANDER: If you change your mind can I come over?
CORDELIA: (Hits Xander’s arm)
WILLOW: (Smiles)
TARA: (Pulls Willow into a hug)
WILLOW: Um what was that for?
TARA: For just being you.
WILLOW: Well, in that case I require lots of hugs! Cause I’m me a lot!
TARA: (Smiles)
JIMMY: (Pulls away from Giles and looks at Jenny) Thank you.
JENNY: Your welcome.
Cut to Willow’s bedroom.
WILLOW: (Laying on her bed reading a English book) (Theirs a knock on her glass doors)
TARA: (Standing outside smiling)
WILLOW: (Gets up and opens the door) Hey!
TARA: Hey! (Hands Willow a rose)
WILLOW: You know I could get used to this!
TARA: (Kisses Willow) Me to! How you doing?
WILLOW: Shouldn’t I be asking you that question?
TARA: I mean about Rosie.
WILLO: (Looks down) Oh… I guess I didn’t have time to process with so much going on! And I was so happy to hear my mom’s voice… Does that make me a bad person, being glad one person is dead instead of someone else?
TARA: (Touches Willow’s face) No honey it doesn’t!
WILLOW: (Smiles) How’s your brother doing?
TARA: Ok I guess, he’s got a lot of stuff to deal with. And I mean the whole ‘I’m a vampire thing’!
WILLOW: It’s amazing Jenny knew that spell!
TARA: I know! She said that her people came up with it as a curse for another vampire, but he was killed before they could put it on him. I’m just glad she was here! I don’t know if I could have taken loosing my brother twice. (Looks a little sad)
WILLOW: (Kisses Tara) No more losing things! Besides you’ve got a swim match next week so no thought about loosing!
TARA: You just want to see me in my bathing suit!
WILLOW: Busted!
TARA: (Hugs Willow)
WILLOW: You know baby, I’m not complaining but why did you come this way? (Points to her doors leading to the outside)
TARA: Are you kidding? I didn’t want to come through the front door, and risk questing from your parents!
WILLOW: They don’t come till tomorrow, and then we have dinner with them Saturday night!
TARA: Oh, um in that case I don’t feel that well again! I think I’ll have to cancel!
WILLOW: Oh really? I think I should check you out then, (Starts looking Tara over) you know for medical purposes only! (Starts kissing Tara)
TARA: (Leads Willow over to the bed and lays her down, gets on top of her and starts kissing her)
About that time Willow’s bedroom door opens. Mrs. Rosenberg walks in.
MRS. ROSENBERG: Willow!
WILLOW: (Shocked) Mom! What are you doing home?
MRS. ROSENBERG: Our plane got in early! What are you doing! And with whom?
TARA: (Turing the color of Willow’s hair) Um hi… Mrs. Rosenberg, I’m Tara.
WILLOW: Remember my girlfriend I was telling you about.
TARA: Nice to meet you! (Half grin)
MRS. ROSENBERG: (Raises an eyebrow at Tara) I trust your going home soon?
TARA: Yes.
MRS. ROSENBERG: Ok, Willow we’ll talk in the morning. Good night. (Walks out)
TARA: (Falls back on Willow’s bed) Shoot me now!
Tara and Willow burst into laughter.
Pan to outside of Willow's room, Spike is sitting on a motorcycle looking up at the girls through the window.
SPIKE: This isn't over! (rides off)
