* At Oz's house
“You knock...” Buffy urged Willow.
“No YOU knock!”
“But he's YOUR boyfriend!”
“Point taken, but still you knock!” Willow was becoming very paranoid.
“You are sure we are at the right place?” Buffy was going form foot to foot.
“Yes! Even when we grope, I know where we are Buffy...”
“Well excuse me for asking, just ring the darn door bell or something” Buffy's steam was slowly leaking out. Willow's face was a scarlet red color and was shifting from foot to foot.
“... Ok, Man you really are determined aren't you? And why do I listen?...”
“Because I have a stake and I know how to use it?” Buffy suggested, trying to brighten up her friends mood. The door suddenly opened and a very sick looking Oz stepped out onto the porch.
“What are you doing here on a school you guy's... Umm girls... girls doing here on a school day?” Oz's now spiked and died red hair stood up on end, as Oz doubled over, a look of pure pain seeped through his deep brown eye's. Willow was at his side in a mere millisecond holding him toward her chest.
“Oh my GOD Oz What's WRONG???” Willow's voice was completely calm but her eye's read different. Buffy dove for Oz as he went down, completely ragged. Willow let out a yelp of helplessness. Buffy caught him way before he hit the ground. He let out a groan, as she picked him back up. Buffy stepped into Oz's house Willow close behind. The door slammed shut a second later and once again Willow was at Buffy's side.
“Willow where's Oz's room?” Willow stepped in front of Buffy and began to lead her up a flight of stairs, down the hall and up an other set of stairs, leading to the attic. Again Oz groaned in Buffy's arms. Buffy let some of the strength out of her arms and Oz went even more limp. His arms hung down, towards the ground his legs just hung over Buffy's small arms. Buffy grabbed the arm closest to her , and swung it around her neck, taking the other arm she placed it carefully on Oz's stomach. Everything talked about for the past few hours where completely forgotten by the girls, replaced by their worry for Willow's lead guitar boyfriend still groaning in her arms. Reaching the top of the stairs, which had seemed like an eternity to get up, Willow opened the door to a very large room with a bed to the side. Willow ran to it and pulled down the dark red sheets and comforter that covered it to make it easy to get Oz in. Buffy Carefully laid out a pained and unconscious Oz on his bed. Yet again Oz let out a loud groan, turned onto his side and within seconds he was breathing was slow and rhythmic. Oz was asleep.
* At the school library
Giles was busy picking up all the books that Xander had fallen on top of. It had taken him and hour to sort them out yesterday, and now it would take way longer, cause it was way worse then when he'd gotten the books. It would take him the better part of the day he figured out. * Xander, Xander, Xander, when are you going to learn?... And where is Willow and Buffy? Buffy I can see skipping school easily, but Willow? Where are they? * He began to sort his books again. He was starting to get very mad with Xander Buffy And Willow, when the library doors swung open and closed again. Sounding like gun fire, Giles jumped three feet into the air. He turned around to see a very pissed off Cordelia.
“OK Giles where is he? We where suppose to meet in the broiler room 15 minutes ago! For... For umm a... A tutoring session, yeah that's it a tutoring session, and he DIDN'T show! The Nerve, he just BLEW me off! I want to SO give him a piece of my mind, so where the HELL is he...?” Cordelia was pacing, hands behind her back.
“Umm, Cordelia? Your going to run a hole in the library floor if you don't stop pacing” Giles continued with his sorting books from past watchers.
“I will not rest until I know where MY boyfriend is!!! Is he off with some other girl?” * Oh God, I just called him my boyfriend, nothing will ever be the same, ever. But it does sound kind of nice to me... Cordelia, stop that thinking right know! *
“If you must know, Xander, your BOYFRIEND has gone to find Willow and Buffy” Giles threw it into Cordelia's face “Now will you please let me continue sorting the books that your BOYFRIEND tripped over???” Cordelia took a step back.
“Umm, sorry Giles... I'm not busy right now, I have a free period, do you umm want me to help you to sort all your book? Buffy thought to herself. But what impressed Buffy the most about the room had to be his walls, covered in different pictures of bands and pictures of different things. It had 3 large windows, covered in either black or dark red drapes it was hard to tell. An other wall was covered in pictures of werewolf's, Vampires, Witches and other undead people of Sunnydale, or the undead of Sunnydale. But across the pictures it read * Nightmares in Fairyland, do YOU believe? * On the wall opposite of Oz's bed was a collage of pictures of Willow and himself, it was truly romantic. * Willow Is So lucky to have such a great boyfriend, even if he is a Werewolf, he's not really evil, and it's only 3 day's out of every month, unlike my Vampire of an ex-boyfriend that will be a a HUMAN soon!!!. *
Buffy snapped back to reality when yet again Oz began to groan, awake from his sleep. Buffy peered at the black alarm clock on the night stand beside his bed. it read 2:00pm Oz had been asleep for quite a while know. Oz tried to sit up but Willow gently pushed him back down, onto his pillow, his face looked flushed with sleep.
“Stay put Oz, you passed out on us for quite a while. Do you feel ok? Do you want something to eat or drink? Or Or anything else?” Willow was looking deep into Oz's eye's when she said this. It was then Buffy realized that Willow was completely over Xander. Now she was way into Oz. * Go for it girl, I'm way happy for you! * “Actually there is something you could do for me” OZ reached up and drew Willow to ward him and they smooched. Oz had a very happy look in his eye's, so did Willow.
Buffy got up from the bean bag chair and crossed the room to Oz's bed. Willow was helping Oz out of dirty shirt and exchanging it for a clean one. They had changed places and now Oz was leaning against Willows chest, just resting. Oz's voice was still very sleepy.
“So why did you come here this morning? It's indeed a week day... Right?”
“OH you poor dear you don't even know what day it is any more. It's a Friday honey...” Willow's voice was full of love and concern.
“How'd you know Id be here this morning and today and stuff?” Oz was fully confused, his eye's where full of puzzlement and he was playing with his black nail polish, slowly chipping it away.
“Yesterday we were talking on the telephone and it came up that you weren't feeling well and you would be staying home from school today. Anyway we came here with good news...” Willow was still looking directly at Oz paying no attention to anything else. Buffy suddenly started smiling broadly and her eyes brightened considerably. Her posture straightened up dramatically and she sighed out of pure happiness. “But Umm maybe Buffy would like to tell you about it. Buffy?” Buffy got into a huge giggling fit. “Umm Buffy... Your giggling.” Oz suddenly got a smile on his face and Willow seeing Oz smile smiled herself. They looked at one an other and all burst out laughing.
It was half an hour later and the three teens where still trying to calm down from their laughing fit, they had just started to calm down. Oz looked happy, but tired and drained. they all looked at each other and again got into a fit of laughter. They had an other round of laughing
“My stomach hurts from laughing for so long and hard!” Buffy was doubled over holding her stomach.
“So what's so great that you wanted to tell me about?” Oz's tired face was filled by one of pure curiosity
“Well actually it's better than good news. It's even better than great! It's phenomenal! The best of the best!!!” Buffy began to ramble on and on about how great it was. She looked down at herself, she had been hugging herself and and rocking back and forth on her heels. Her eyes where clouded over .
“Oz do you like being a werewolf?” Willow decided if Buffy wasn't going to get the point she would.
“Hugh?” Oz's curiosity began to get the better of him.
“Do you like being a Werewolf?” Buffy repeated for Willow. She completely got what Willow was trying to get to.
“Actually I really don't know, I never remember what it's like or anything. Although I don't like being chained up, or chasing Willow or or whatever..”
“I take that as a no?” willow said.
“Take it as a No” Oz was still very curious. Just then a knock came at the door. Oz started to get up but Both Willow and Buffy pushed back onto his pillow, and not all that softly either * Ouch! * Buffy stood up and headed towards the front door. She looked out through the spy hole and let out a gasp of excitement.
Buffy pulled open the door and stepped back to let Kendra in. Buffy reached out to hug her but Kendra side stepped her.
“I don't do hugs” Buffy stifled a laugh.
“Oh yeah, hugging is bad... It shows emotion. Emotions a very bad thing!!! GRR” Buffy did a fake growl and grimace.
“I told you I was a expert hunter!” Kendra's face was completely blank, But her her voice showed much amusement. Buffy looked Kendra over. She had on a new light blue top and was wearing new blue pants too. She had also cut her hair to a little past her shoulders. She had on a black back pack on her back and runners on her feet. * Big improvement from the pink shirt and pants!!! *
“You look really good Kendra... but umm why did you come to Sunnydale again? Not that I'm not really happy to see you or anything, Cause I am. No wait, let me try. Putting on he best Kendra voice she said “They is a Dark force rising in Sunnydale!”
“Well precisely yes... Well my watcher thought you could use a little help cause well... Ahem... he heard what had happened to Angel..us.” Kendra gave Buffy a intense look of sorrow and knowing.
Buffy turned beet red. “Well it's not like I knew that if I slept with him he'd lose his soul or anything... Anyway It's just kind of happened, one minute we where soaking wet and then you know...” She would have continued but Willow was coming down the stairs with Oz behind her.
“Kendra!!!” Willow's voice brightened too. “Oz I thought I told you to stay put!” But her face was smiling, Buffy knowing, she said no such thing. * Oh well * Kendra faced darkened and showed anger. She pinned a scared looking Oz to the wall.
With her grip still holding Oz above ground she turned to Buffy. “There's something wrong with this one Buffy, How could you smile?”
“Umm Kendra? Your jumping to conclusions again...” Oz shook his pale tiered head in agreement.
“Yes he's good Kendra” Put in Willow for her dumbfound boyfriend.
“Yes, he's a Werewolf cause his baby cousin bit him, but he chains himself up for the 3 days of the full moon. You can let him go, any way lock at him! He's sick.!” Buffy was talking in a calm but rushed voice. OZ looked like he was a bout to be sick. Kendra automatically let go of Oz's arms and Oz collapsed into a chair, exhausted. Willow was at his side. They stood still for a few minutes, Kendra obviously very embarrassed. Willow finally broke the silence.
“I think we had better get Oz back up to bed, his mom is going to be home soon...” Together Buffy and Kendra lifted Oz out of his chair. and started up the stairs. After putting Oz on his bed all 3 girls sat on the hard wood floor.
“I'm really sorry, I kind of keep jumping to conclusions... You guys always know the good guys, how come I never know the good guys??? I keep forgetting that this is the Hellmouth and anything can happen here. I truly am very sorry...” for once Kendra showed how upset she was.
“That's? ok Kendra, you couldn't of known, you have a great gift of knowing who's a Vampire or what or not!” Willow's voice was barely above a whisper, yet everyone in the room heard her, including Oz. “Yeah, that's ok...” Oz sounded out, and Kendra let out a smile.
* School
Giles and Cordelia were working silently side by side. They were only a few books left to be arranged to be sorted when Cordelia spoke. “Giles what's this disk doing with all your books?”
“I don't know Cordelia, someone must have put it there for a reason... It's too bad Miss Calendar isn't here any more.” A sad look came over him, but he snapped out of it when Cordelia started yelling at him.
“What do you mean Miss Calendar!!! I know what to do I know how to use a computer, you know??? I never!” Cordelia was in a awfully big huff.
“I'm sorry Cordelia, I should have known... Why don't you use the computer by my office?”
“But... But.. But I don't know how. I just wanted , well I don't know what I wanted!” Just then Xander walked into the library.
“I can't find them, I've looked all over Sunnydale. They've completely disappeared! Oh Hi Cordy... I didn't see you there, sorry.” Xander was in high gear, running all over the Library.
“Alexander Harris! WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU AT NOON???” Cordelia was screaming louder than she ever had in her entire life. The walls of the library shook with every word. “AND HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE ME? I'M RIGHT BESIDE GILES, GOD!!!” Xander took a step back, not cause he was scared but because she was so loud.
“Cordy, I'm SORRY, please Giles is always here! I wasn't even looking at him, I just assumed that he was here. I'm sorry Cordy. I was looking for Willow and Buffy at lunch, why do you ask???”
“Can you say caretakers closet with out ‘tutoring’ session at Noon?”
“Sorry Cordy... but really! We have to find Buffy and Willow.” the whole time Giles had been quiet, but he spoke up.
“Umm, Xander? Do you know how to use a computer?”
“Have I known Willow for like my whole life?... Of course I do, why?” * I wonder what's up. *
“Well we found this disk with the books you made fall We don't know what it is. Xander took the disk from Giles’ hand and went to the computer closest to him. He inserted and turned on the Computer.
* Oz's house.
“Anyway while waiting for Oz's mom to come home we'll tell you some really good mews, we have been trying to tell Oz all day, we just sort of haven't succeeded. We'll try again. Do you want us to start at the begging?” It was a while later and Buffy and Willow were sitting with Oz on his bed, Kendra was paceing around the room, it was evident that she was upset. * It’s getting harder for Kendra to keep her feelings bottled up inside. I feel really sorry for her... huh, I just figured out that the world really circles around your feelings. Kendra's world must not have been circling very little until a while ago. * Willow was thinking to herself. * I thought I was smart but in the past 24 hours I just figured out that there's more than Math and History. For the first time In my life I feel really secure
Willow snapped back to when she heard Buffy And Oz calling her name. “Sorry I was in my thoughts” Buffy had and amused look on her face.
“I was just about to start explaining what has happened in the past day, well yesterday anyway. I was particularly sad , so I asked Willow to help me find a way to help get Angel's soul back. Then I kinda ran out of class I walked to the Library to brood right? So I got mad and threw my cross at Giles, and went home for the rest of the day. Willow ended up researching all night at the Library. Woke up from this dark dream and remembered about my cross. On the way to the school I found Angel's cladghar ring. At the Library I found Willow drinking coffee and and listening to Aqua full blast. It was really scary!”
“Buffy get on with it!” Willow sounded even more anxious.
“Anyway we went to the Computer room to do some stuff and jammed in Miss Calendar's desk was a disk. We checked it out. It took a while to get loaded up, but but finally we got a peek at what was inside...”
“ And the disks have what to do what with Werewolfs and stuff???” Oz asked from his place on his bed.
“Where getting to that. Hold your horses will you???” Kendra joined them on the bed. All thought she seemed reluctant to do so.
“Wow! This is great, it's so soft and you really just sink into it. I love it.!, but what's it for?”
“Haven't you ever heard of a bed? You sleep on it , so you don't get a sore back, and stuff.”
“No, it's nice! I have always slept on the floor. You where sleeping on Angels bed when I first attacked you?" Kendra regarded Buffy with wide eyes.
“Yeah I was sleeping.”
“Sorry, Anyways please go on with your story.”
“Anyways as I was saying, we got a peak at the disk. It had the ritual of how to give Angel back his soul...”
