“Hey, how are you feeling?” Willow asked Gwen as she sat down in the chair beside her friend’s hospital bed and handing her the teddy bear she had brought her. As Willow handed her the bear their hands brushed slightly.
“Willow!” Gwen stopped when nothing happened, “You didn’t get shocked.”
“No,” Willow said, surprised.
“Do you think the spell worked?”
“What do you mean?”
“I wished to be normal.”
“Touch me again.”
“But what if it didn’t work.”
“We’re in a hospital. I think this is one of the better places for me to get shocked,” Willow said as she reached out and grabbed Gwen’s hand. She smiled when nothing happened.
“Oh god,” Gwen said, crying in realization and relief. Willow got on the bed with her friend and they hugged tightly, “This is good.”
Willow nodded, “Yeah it really is.”
*****************
Kate walked into the trailer where her mom lived with her boyfriend. He was sitting on the couch drinking a beer and watching T.V.
“Kate sweetie,” her mom said coming over and kissing her, “What are you doing here?”
“Just thought I’d drop by for a visit.”
“Shut up! I’m watching T.V.!” Kate’s mother’s boyfriend drunkenly slurred from the couch.
“You shut up!” Kate yelled. She was sick of him, his drunkenness, and his abuse.
“What did you say to me?!” he asked, rising from his seat and coming forward.
“Kate,” her mother urgently hissed.
“You heard me!”
“You need to learn your place girly.”
“I do?! I do?! You’re in our house! You should know you’re place! In fact you don’t even have a place! You’re nothing!” she yelled as the lights in the trailer began to flicker and he gasped in pain clutching his chest, “You don’t even exist! You’re a pathetic excuse for a human being and a waste of space!”
He fell to the floor gasping and clutching his chest.
“Oh my god,” her mother said, knelling next to him, “Call 911,” that’s when he stopped moving, “He’s dead.”
Kate’s eyes went wide but they should no remorse. Her mother noticed something on the floor and picked it up it was a lottery ticket. The T.V. was calling out the numbers in the background.
“Oh my god,” her mother said, happily, “Oh my god! We won!”
“What?”
“The ticket we won! We won the lottery!”
“Are you fucking kidding?!”
“No!”
They both screamed for joy, jumping up and down. They were rich.
***********************
“I saw that Jamison checking you out,” Willow told Gwen as they got changed in the gym locker room.
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Gwen smiled but Kate broke in, “Don’t even think about it. He’s bad news.”
“Why do you….” Willow began but was interrupted when someone started screaming.
The four of them ran over to the showers where the scream came from. They found Courtney sitting in the shower crying. Her hair was falling out and coming out in clumps in her head.
“Oh my god,” Willow said in realization, flashing back to the night they had taken their blood oath. Michelle’s wish was that Courtney got what was coming to her.
*********************
Willow, Kate, Gwen, and Michelle walked out of the locker room together.
“Did you see her hair?” Kate said with a laugh, “That was great. Who would have known your wish would have turned out so great Michelle.”
“I didn’t want this,” Michelle said.
“You wanted her to get was coming to her.”
“Yeah but…..I don’t guess revenge doesn’t taste as sweet as I thought it would.”
“Come on she deserved it. After all the years of hell she put you through.”
“You’re right.”
“No she’s not,” Willow spoke up.
Kate looked at her, her eyes flashing with anger, “Chill out Will. It’s just a little harmless fun. Hey, I’ll even buy her a wig. I mean I have the money now.”
“Yeah harmless like what happened to your mom’s boyfriend.”
“That was accident. Oh come on Willow don’t look so down. I’m sure your wish will come true soon. What did you wish for?”
********************
Willow sat in her dorm surfing the net while Gwen read a magazine.
“Hey, guess what?” Gwen said, causing Willow to look up from her computer.
“What?”
“Red’s the new black.”
“Lucky you,” Willow replied and then turned back to her computer. Gwen noticed the red head frowning at her computer screen.
“What’s wrong do you sense a disturbance in the force master?” Gwen joked. Willow didn’t respond, “Will?”
“Did you ever hear of the 3 fold rule?”
“No,” Gwen said, coming over and looking at the computer screen over Willow’s shoulder.
“When you do a spell, black magic…”
“We didn’t do black magic.”
“No, but you can’t tell me that are results have been all fluffy bunnies.”
“Yeah, I know. You don’t think Kate knew do you?”
“I don’t know. You know her better then I do.”
“I’m beginning to wonder if I do,” Gwen shook her head, “Tell me about the rule.”
“When you do harmful magic, everything comes back 3 fold.”
Gwen shrugged, “How do you even know if this site’s legit.”
“Gwen, we’re going to have to deal with this.”
“Willow, I get it you’re freaked about some of the stuff that happened but good stuff happened too. I can touch people Willow for the first item in 12 years I can touch people. I’m normal again.”
“I know.”
“So don’t worry. The spell didn’t go exactly as planned but no one died.”
Willow raised her eyebrows in response.
“Okay one person did but we have no proof that was from the spell.”
Willow just nodded and nit her lip as she turned back to her computer screen and Gwen sat back down with her magazine, “I’m gonna go for a walk.”
“Okay,” Gwen replied as Willow put on her jacket and left.
*********************
Willow walked along the sidewalk that ran throughout the campus it was dark and the moon was out still. She sighed. She had thought her life in Sunnydale was complicated. She was walking along when she heard a growling coming from the bushes. Willow bent down and peered into the darkness. She screamed when a werewolf jumped out of the bushes. It looked very familiar.
“Oz? Oh my god Oz,” Willow gasped in realization. She had wished he was here with her and the wish had worked but it had brought him over in all his wolfey glory, “This is not good.”
Slowly Oz stalked towards her. Willow looked around and found the campus was deserted. Stupid Willow when are you going to learn don’t go out alone at night. Oz jumped forward and Willow ran as fast as her legs would carry her and she kept running until she ran into something or more correctly someone, Jamison.
“Jamison,” Willow gasped out. She was breathing heavily from running so much. She looked around her she knew Oz couldn’t be to far behind.
“Hey what’s wrong,” Jamison asked her, helping her up off the floor.
“Dog, big dog,” Willow told him.
“Okay, we’ll call animal control.”
“No, it’s a friend’s dog. Can you help me catch it?”
“You wanna catch the big dog?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re peculiar.”
Willow smiled sheepishly, “Will you help me?”
“I’m saying yes despite my better judgment.”
Willow smiled.
“So how are we going to catch this thing?” he asked her.
Willow furrowed her brow in concentration, “We need bait, a sturdy place to hold it till morning, and a tranquilizer rifle.”
“You’ve done this before haven’t you?”
“My friend’s dog gets loose a lot.”
“You’re the expert,” he said as they walked off in search of the supplies they needed.
About an hour and half later Willow and Jamison sat in the bushes, staking out the clearing in front of them. They had placed a piece of meat in the middle and stuffed it full of sleeping pills. It turned out tranquilizer guns were hard to come by on most campuses. Near by was the gardening shed, both of them figure it would be sturdy enough to hold ‘the dog’.
“Willow,” Jamison said in a hushed whisper nudging her.
“Don’t warn the tadpoles,” Willow said, waking up.
“Tadpoles?”
“I have frog fears. Don’t tell anyone.”
“I’ll take it to the grave. I think you’re friend showed up.”
Willow looked and sure enough there was Oz. She watched as he sniffed the meat and then exhaled a side of relief as he began to eat it.
“You said he was big but I didn’t think he was that big,” Jamison said.
Willow shrugged and looked back to where Oz ate the last bit of meat.
“Nothings happening,” Jamison said.
“It hasn’t soaked into is blood stream yet.”
“Well what do we do if he runs off before it does?”
“We follow him,” Willow said, slightly unsure but luckily they didn’t have to Oz laid down and fell asleep. Willow exhaled in relief.
She and Jamison came out from their hiding place and gently grabbed Oz, fearful of waking him up, and dragged him into the gardening shed, where they locked the door and hid it back in the hiding place the janitor thought no one knew about.
