Willow Goddess of Magic: Neat little boxes
Nichlous Woodward 10/8/12 11:48 PM
Buffy is dead
She did it to save her Sister, her friends, her world, her Universe. Just as she would of wanted it and Just for the reason she gave up her life. Life moved forward. It only moved two weeks later and it moved very slowly.
The bronze the surviving members of the Scooby’s try moving on faster but it’s not working the gang are slumped around their normal table.
Willow: Guys look at us this this is not healthy.
Xander: What would you have us do Will? Jump on the table and throw our shirts off?
Anya: Alright…
Xander: No babe my eyes only remember, we talked about that.
Willow: Gives Anya a look. We can’t sit here night after night and mope Buffy’s dead.
Tara: That’s also a bigger problem not just for us. But S.Sunnydale it’s self
Xander: Tara has very frightening point, if word gets out Bufs gone this place gets even scary-er-er.
Willow: So you see we have to put on a front we have to act like Buffy’s just around the corner ready to dust the dustable.
Anya: Will that be enough? It might keep the out-of-towners at bay but the locals are still gonna rise at sundown and drain the very little nightlife right out of Sunnydale.
Xander: What are you saying babe?
Willow: No I get it we have to be proactive in the slayage
Xander: Now hold on Will just because Buffy left behind her toys does not mean we get to play with them.
Willow: Sure Xand we will just stick our head in the sand and wait for the vamps to bite our ass.
Xander: Alright fine but what can we do?
Willow: well we been around buffy a long time someone of had to picked up some of her moves
Xander: She showed me the best ways to sleep in a class after a bad night of slaying.
Willow: ok fine no moves but Tara and I have magic Anya has some connections still we we could go to Giles he trained Buffy maybe he can train us
Anya: Now we are going from moping about to moping about dangerously
Xander: Sounds better than what I got. You get my vote Willow I think Willow should be boss all those in favor say yep
All say yep
Tara: Now that’s decides what about Dawn?
Willow: No Dawn stays out of this she been though a lot lately beside she still hurting from Buffy’s death...And I don’t think Buffy would want her in any danger…
At the Summers home which looks like a looting riot went though it Dawn is standing on the edge of the table trying to string a set of Christmas lights up music is blaring on a radio
Dawn: What do you think Spike does it not look cool?
Spike: Is sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand. Looks over at the decorations. Not bad nibblet it is your house after all.
Dawn: I know it’s so cool it’s all mine now she plops down in a chair and pulls out a wad of chips and starts munching down on them
Spike: I not one to judge you’re eating habits on the account of mine consist of bad beer and blood but don’t you think you ate something a bit more normal every once in a while?
Dawn: Chips are normal silly
Spike: Gets up and walks over to Dawn and kneels beside her chair. I know what you’re doing Dawn. And it’s not going to work. You’re not going to be able to keep this up. Your armors starting to crack you need to talk about it Buffy’s gone
Dawn: No! I don’t want to talk about it she’s not gone she gets up and crosses the room. Buffy will be back you will see.
Spike: sighs and looks down at the floor. I want to believe you I do. But even if she might come back you still have to accept the fact she is gone right now
Dawn: No I don’t get out Spike! Get out!!
Spike: grabs his coat off the back of the chair. Your house bit…
Spike leaves the Summer’s home but only gets to his hang out by the tree and like he has been doing for the past two weeks and looks at the house and guards it
A few hours later he is back inside and finds Dawn past out in front of the TV he scoops her up and very easily takes her upstairs to her room and puts her to bed
Back outside he noticed clouds gathering. And a light rain begins to fall Spike pays no attention to it
That day rain still falls. The Shops empty except Giles and Anya
Anya: Damn this weather bad for business.
Giles: I quite like it reminds me of home…
Anya: I should call Cetaren tell him to stop the rain
Giles: No don’t conger a weather demon just for a local shower.
Anya: Fine but todays sales are going to slump. Have you talked to Willow today?
Giles: Is scanning an inventory supply sheet. No not yet.
Anya: I’m going to go its slow
Giles: Looks up. You are going to leave the store while it’s still open?
Anya: You can run it to. I maybe better at it but it’s your shop as well besides my harts not in it today.
Anya leaves Giles the Shop and heads out Giles can tell Buffy’s death as affected Anya deeper then she is letting on
Willow walks into the shop and shakes off the water.
Willow: You know I could do a spell and clear this rain up...
Giles: No. What is it with you kids today wanting to affect the weather leave it alone besides reminds me of home.
Willow: Geez sorry Giles where’s Anya?
Giles: She left early today
Willow: That’s not like her
Giles: Well in case you haven’t noticed none of us are up to our normal selves
Willow: That’s what I came here to talk to you about Giles we need to regroup and I know just the thing
Giles: Oh?
Willow: Yes we want you to train us to patrol to slay
Giles: …oh…Well I don’t know Willow that’s very dangerous work
Willow: Giles this is us we are talking about aren’t we always in danger?
Giles: Takes off his glasses and cleans them. Yes I suppose your right.
Willow: I know we don’t have slayer strength but we have other things and the practice can be good so we are not always so damsely in distress
Giles: Alright you have a few valid points I will set up some training sessions with you...I don’t have much else to do.
Willow: Great when do we start?
Giles: Looks around the empty shop…Now I suppose
Willow and Giles head to the back where Buffy’s training room is
Willow: I better change if we are going to do this huh?
Giles: Are going to use magic because that is a very petty use of your pow…
Willow: pulls out a change of clothes from her bag. No silly from my enchanted bag
Giles: Yes how silly of me
Willow: Goes behind the divider: What you think I was just going to Sabrina my clothes? No I tried that once ended up outside my dorm room naked
Willow: Comes out from behind a divider in a flattering gym set. Ok all ready
Giles: I well yes let um get started shall we
After a few basics steeps with Willow understanding Giles gets to the bigger stuff
Giles: Good now from here there are three very effective moves that can be useful
Willow: Looks at her stance Is one of them kicking them in the nether region?
Giles: Four very effective moves that can be useful
The training continues till Willow asks…
Willow: What about weapons when can a start using them?
Giles: Well without the Slayer strength most are going to be useless to you
Willow: Just smiles as Giles turns to the weapons rack and finds all of them floating right in front of his face
Giles: Good lord right then Weapons training…
They train for about an hour more before both calling it a day
Willows already changed and headed out the door
Willow: Ok I will practice more of that chi tea at home thanks Giles
Giles: That’s Tai chi why does everybody make that bloody joke
Later Willow comes storming into Tara’s dorm room
Willow: There kicking me out!
Tara: What?
Willow: The school I dropped my summer class today and so goes the Dorm I have a few days to find someplace else
Tara: I would gladly take you in Will but there’s no room here as it is
Willow: I know baby I understand I do. I have a backup but I just really don’t want to do it
Tara: Wraps her arms around willow lovingly. What’s your back up?
Willow: My mom…
Tara: Oh Will N.no you can’t…after that huge ordeal about her thinking you blew your chance for a major collage to stay here.
Willow: I know. Can’t I just charm the dean or something...
Tara: No you can’t. And Tara kisses willow long and hard making her forget about her troubles that day
Willow: Pulls back I still have to find a place...
Tara: Tara advances on Willow again Your place right now is with me...Both end up in Tara’s bed entangled in each other as the rain continues to come down outside.
Xander and Anya are at their place later that day
Anya: No I won’t allow it Xander Harris! Besides you know that it would be useless agents what we face
Xander: Look I just think we should think about it a gun is not evil we face evil besides I did keep some of my Gi-Joeness
Anya: No I flat out refuse these things where I live
Xander: You can’t refuses it like that we have to decide on it together
Anya: Just like you decided to tell the others about us
Xander: Anya that’s different I just felt that then was not the right time
Anya: Ok fine I felt we decided no guns in this house!
Xander: It’s not like that An.
Anya: Look I dint leave the shop today to hear this Anaya gets up and walks out of the house
Later the Scooby’s meet up for their first patrol
Willow: Ok so the rains a deal but we can do this
Giles: Everyone pair up no one leaves there partners side
Anya: Fine I want Giles
Gules I was going to suggest you and Xander pair up…
Xander: No I’m cool with the Han act tonight G-man
Giles: yes well very good I think the parks out but we should swing by the local town areas Bronze and the like
Willow: and me and Tara will hit the theater and stuff Xander check the Bronze and Giles and Anya bar area if you see anything don’t take it on alone
Willow and Tara began in their area the rain slacks up a little.
Tara: So did you decide on what you’re going to do about your dorm?
Willow: pulls some wet hair off her face No it’s looking more and more like moms it is
Tara: What she going to say about m.me?
Willow: She better not say anything or I might have to you know and willow flicks her wrist
Tara: N.NO Willow you can’t that’s your m.mom I can’t allow you to use magic on her!
Willow: Why not it won’t be much.
Tara: No I can’t let you do that to your mom n.not for me.
Willow: What do you expect me to do? Sneak you in through a window cos huh that worked so well with Buffy and her mom.
Tara: Whatever you decide promise me you won’t use magic on your mom
Willow: Looks at Tara Ok I won’t for you I won’t
Meanwhile Anya and Giles are talking
Anya: A gun can you believe it Giles the most ineffective weapon and he wants it in our house
Giles: Look at from his point of view he is just trying to make sure you would be safe
Anya: Fine bring a sword crossbows even knives but no guns
Giles: Anya I’m leaving...
Anya: Oh ok bye I think I find the others on my own...
Giles: That’s not what meant I’m leaving Sunnydale
Anya: the store?
Giles: yes the store is yours Anya
Anya: good now that’s cleared up. Why?
Giles: I’m going to go home I’m not needed here Buffy’s dead a watchers work is done
Anya: The others they need you what about the training
Giles: I won’t leave right away I will get you started and then after I get everything in order I’m going to go. My work here is done
Anya: Don’t be so sure of that...
After a while the rain gets heavier and the gang meet up
Willow: Ok I’m going to call it tonight is a bust let’s all just go home start again tomorrow
Anya: Before we go Giles has something to say.
Giles: Anya I was not I mean I was….
Willow: What is it Giles?

Giles: It won’t be too soon I will continue to train you guys till I do leave I just know it’s time to go home you guys can do this now let’s get out of this blasted rain
After a while the gang split up Giles and Anya work in the store Xander goes home alone and Willow and Tara head for Tara’s Dorm the day a wash
Later that night Spike has had enough of the wet stuff
Spike: Dawn?
Dawn: hangs her head out the kitchen. Yeah?
Spike: Mind if I come in don’t mind the rain but hate the feel of my socks wet
Dawn: Yeah sure just um don’t come in here…
Spike looks around the house witch seems to be in more of a disastrous shape then last night
Spike: Yeah sure bit your house and all... Hey do I have any beer in there?
Dawn: from the kitchen. Um yeah you got one she pitches it to him from the door
Spike: snags it midair. Um is everything alright in there?
In the kitchen
Dawn: Just um great. Been busy and stuff...
The kitchen is worse than the rest of the house as Dawn try’s to cook her something
Dawn: Tries to stir something it spills and a small fire erupts Dawn screams and Spike is there in a flash and tosses the pan and all out into the rain
Spike: Looks around oh Dawn...
Dawn: Looks around I can get it cleaned up... I can make this work… I know I can… I just she breaks… I need her Spike I need Buffy I need my sister she leans into Spike I miss her so much I don’t know what I’m doing
Spike: Easy there bit. Spike pulls her to the living room
Dawn: What are we going to do if someone finds out what’s happen here they will take me away and all my friends and family what little I have left will be gone!
Spike: that’s not going to happen niblet I won’t let it you belong here. She will need you here if she comes back she won’t find you unless you’re here you have to be here for her...
Dawn: leans in and kisses Spike on the lips lightly
Spike: Jumps up at this No...Don’t no…
Dawn: Her eyes widen… I dint Spike I… and she bolts out the door in the rain.
Spike stands there for a second or two before snapping out of it
Spike: Dawn? Oh bugger! And runs out the door. Dawn!
Later that night Willow gets up from Tara’s bed at a knock on the door
Willow: Opens to find a rain drenched Spike standing there. Spike what’s going on?
Spike: We have to go I lost her trail she’s picked up a few tricks. You birds have to fly.
Willow: Wakes up fully. Who?
Spike: Dawn. Niblet made off like a rabbit tonight I can’t find her this rain...
Willow: Ok ok... hold on Willow wakes Tara and explans a few minites later thay are dressed and headed outside.

They head off to the one place Dawn would be
Willow: Spike what made her run off like that?
Spike: I well you see it’s like this…and there was this fire…and then she well
Willow: Fire? What happened Spike every detail!!
Spike explains what happened
Willow: Spins around and slaps him hard
Spike: Ow I dint do anything I was the perfect gentleman! You should be slapping your selves at least I was there I tried I think your more mad at your selves then me
Willow: Shut up Spike! The rain pours harder
Spike: No that girl was hurting and you ignored her pain while wallowing in your own neat little boxes all of you separated by your own guilt and pain you’re not seeing each other’s!
They reach their destination there crying draped across her sister’s headstone is Dawn crying
Spike stays back as both Tara and Willow reach Dawn
Tara: Dawn... w.we are so sorry
Dawn: sobs. I want her back I want her so badly but she not coming back is she!
Willow: No Downy she’s not
Dawn: There all gone I wish I could join them there’s nothing here for me.

Dawn: Wipes her eyes your losing your Dorm?

Willow: I can’t that’s Buffy’s...house…Besides its Tara’s decision as well
Dawn: No it’s the Summer’s house it’s my house I want you to movie in

Tara: It would help solve a bunch of problems.
Willow: But it’s a big step between us would you be ready to move in with me?
Tara: I been ready I want this...
Willow: I want this to Willow takes Tara’s head gently and kisses her. Dawn looks on. A smile creeps up on Dawns face
Spike: Sees the Dawns out of danger and starts to walk off he is stopped by a vampire standing there in the rain Spike does not even make a sound as he whips the vampire around and smashes him onto a tree dusting him. Not tonight mate not in the mood. and he walks off into the night and the rain.
Dawn: Ok awesome come on let’s get out of this rain I’m soaked
Willow: Secretly twirls’ her finger and the rain starts to let up and comes to a stop
Dawn: Oh now it stops!
Back at the house Dawn lets the girls inside where they discover the mess
Willow: Wow Dawn we do have our work cut out for us
Dawn: Yeah sorry it just me and Spike and well we are not the best at picking but on my defense am a teen
Willow: and Spikes defense?
Dawn: Vampire?
Willow: Laughs let’s see if we can get some help and start this thing Willow goes for the phone
