Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Author's note: A while back, I wrote a story called "Well, Gosh" that was potentially offensive to Christians. In the interest of fairness, this might potentially be offensive to Jews. That's not my intention, but religion is a touchy subject... So I'll apologize in advance and just get on with the story.

"So I really wish I could come patrolling with you, Buff, but you know... Yeah. Good luck." Willow hung up the phone and bounced back into bed. "There. Buffy's on her own and we've got the whole weekend to ourselves. I can't believe I never thought of this before."

Tara sighed and shook her head. "You know, sweetie, one of these days she's going to call your bluff."

Willow pretended to take offense. "Bluff? Hey, do I go around insulting your religion? Screw you, I'm getting dressed and going vamphunting right now."

"You know that's not what I mean." Tara just couldn't stay mad at her when she pouted like that. "But what if she reads up on Jewish holidays or something?"

"Hey, me and Buffy, best friends for five years now? Believe me, she will not be picking up a book with words like Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah and Shemini Atzeret in it unless Giles tells her they're demons. And even then it would probably take an apocalypse for her to actually read it." She leaned over Tara, kissing her way up her jawline. "No, as far as Buffy will ever know (kiss) this weekend is the feast of Akal Chatul (kiss) and I'm not allowed to use a stove, drive a car or kill vampires until sunrise Monday morning (kiss). Hey, six thousand years of persecution – I say I've earned some time off. And then maybe next weekend (kiss) you could think of some previously unknown wiccan celebration..."

Tara giggled. "OK, I'm on board. What does that mean though, Akal Cha...?"

"I thought you'd never ask." Willow grinned and disappeared under the covers.

"Oh. That."
