Slayer Forever
By Steven Williams

Rating: PG-13 ( I used a bad word )

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for an exceptional
amount of debt for a man my age.

Note: This was written as a response to a challenge I
saw here a couple of day?s ago. I accidentally erased
it so I?m not sure if this meets all the requirements,
if not Mea Culpa. Tell me what you think.

Note 2: I'm trying to decide weather to end it, or
jump forward in time a hundred years, or just keep
going like I've been. Help me decide.

Dedication: To Carol, who makes me wish I had her
imagination, cause I'd never be bored.


Back Story : I?m gonna mess with cannon for both
series here so pay attention. Firstly Highlander:
Season 6 didn?t happen, and Duncan never killed
Richie. 

BtVS: Buffy died at the hands of the master, and
became immortal, but no one thought anything of it
cause Xander performed CPR. Then we follow canon until
Becoming part 2 where Willow was killed by Angelus
minions when they attacked the library. Buffy killed
Angelus, and stopped Acathla, but never left town,
planning to attend Willow?s funeral before leaving.
Because Willow has now become immortal, Buffy never
ends up leaving. The two notice the Buzz, but not
being able to find a source just learn to ignore it.
Again we follow canon until the point where the story
starts which is about 2 months after The Body.

The girls arrived back home just as Dawn was coming
down the stairs. ?Long night?? She asked looking like
she had a refreshing sleep. 
?Yeah, we got kidnapped, then the slayers had to come
rescue us.? Cordelia said gesturing at herself and
Willow.
?Speaking of rescuing, thanks red.? Faith said giving
Willow a hug.
?Keep your hands off my woman!? Buffy mock growled.
?Or what?? Faith snarled back while she gently stroked
the redheads back.
?Or, I?ll take Cordelia away from you. She spends one
night with me, and she?ll never want to leave.? Buffy
boasted, watching everyone in the room?s eyes get
wide.
Um, I?ve got to go.? Dawn said, grabbing her backpack
and dashing out the door.
?Yeah, right. You do that and I?ll take Will here.
We?ll have so much fun she?ll come back to LA to be
our pet.? Faith returned.
Willow pushed Faith away from her and towards Buffy,
then gestured for Cordelia to join her. ?We are not
bartering material, nor are we your property. I can?t
speak for Cordy, but I know that Buffy?s spending the
day on the couch. I?m going to bed.? With that the red
headed witch stormed up the stairs.
?Ooops.? Buffy said.
?You?re damn right ooops. Faith I love you, but you?re
sleeping on the floor, since Buffy gets the couch.
Good day.? Cordelia followed in the witch?s footsteps.
?Shit!? hissed Faith, moving towards the living room
to get some sleep.
?What the hell are you doing?? Buffy asked her.
?Trying to get some sleep, maybe things?ll be better
when I wake up.? 
?Nope. No sleep for us. We?re going to go shopping,
then we?re going to make a romantic dinner for them,
then we?re going to plead for forgiveness.? Buffy
outlined her plan.
?You think it?ll work?? Faith inquired.
?Eventually. I?ve got all the time in the world.?
Buffy smiled, sure that it wouldn?t take more then
once or twice.
Willow and Cordelia awoke at almost the same time and
found notes laying where their partners usually were. 
The notes said ?I love you. Put on the dress hanging
on the back of the door and come downstairs? followed
by their partners name.
The two women took their time getting ready, after
ooohing and ahhhing over the dresses. As Willow left
her room she saw a velvet rope barring her from the
stairs, with another note. This one said ?Come
downstairs together?, so she knocked on the door to
Cordelia?s room. 
?Just a second.? Came the reply, then the former
cheerleader opened the door, looking beautiful in her
dress. 
?Wow!? Willow exclaimed taking in the seer?s dress.
?You too.? Cordy replied as she did the same thing.
?They want us to go downstairs together, at least
that?s what this note says.? Willow informed her
former high school nemesis.
Cordelia held out her arm for the other girl and said
?Shall we?? 
Willow linked their arms, and together they descended
the stairs, 
When they reached the bottom they found the slayers
standing beside the table, in the dining room which
was illuminated by candles, each holding a dozen red
roses. What amazed them even more was what the slayers
were wearing. Matching tuxedos, in a rich black, with
elegant white shirts. 
?Buffy!? Whispered Willow.
?Faith!? Whispered Cordelia.
?Cordelia!? Whispered Faith.
?Willow!? whispered Buffy.
As what they?d all just said sunk in, they all burst
into laughter, then the slayers moved to escort the
women they loved to the table, pulling out chairs, and
pouring the wine.
*****
After the two couples finished supper, the slayers
told their significant others that they were going
dancing, and helped them into their coats. 
Cordelia had half expected them to go to the bronze,
so she was pleasantly surprised when they pulled up in
front of a more mature club, called Aurum. Buffy
handed the car over to the valet, and hooked her arm
with Willow?s and led them to the door. Faith hooked
her arm with Cordy?s, mildly startling the one time
cheerleader.
Buffy paid the cover, and led the group to the coat
check.
Finally the group walked into the club proper,
following the hostess who was leading them to the
table the slayers had reserved. 
The atmosphere was completely different form the
Bronze, in that the bronze was dark and dank, and
Aurum was bright and cozy, feeling intimate and yet
public. The band was playing covers of soft rock
songs, and the dancing couples looked to be lost in
their own little worlds.
?Nice club!? Cordy commented to her friends, just as a
tall woman with hair like Spike?s, walked up to the
table. 
?I?m glad you like it!? Amanda said laughingly. ?It?s
definitely more my style.? 
?Nice to see you kids when you?re not in trouble for a
change.? The eldest person in the room teased.
?You did a nice job on the club Amanda, but I have a
question. What?s with the name?? Buffy asked.
?Aurum?? Amanda asked. ?It means gold in Latin.? 
?Is that a joke at the Bronze?s expense?? Willow asked
laughingly.
Just then another immortal approached, causing all the
immortals at the table to look around, especially
since they weren?t armed. Of course the club was built
on an old native burial ground, so it was holy ground,
but you could never be too careful. They all relaxed
when Richie walked up, a cute Asian woman on his arm. 
?Hi all. This is Ling, and these are my friends
Amanda, Buffy, Willow, Faith and Cordelia.? Richie
introduced everyone.
?Nice to meet you Ling.? Willow said standing up, and
pulling Buffy from her seat ?Let?s dance.? 
Buffy allowed her beloved to drag her onto the dance
floor as the band started playing ?Crazy' by
Aerosmith. Buffy took the lead as they started to
dance, slow and close. They were soon joined by
Cordelia and Faith, and Richie and Ling. 
Buffy had closed her eyes to revel in the feeling of
Willow in her arms, and so didn't notice when they
gently lifted off the floor, at least until she felt
someone grab her shoulder.
"Faith?" she asked before realising that she was
looking at the top of her fellow slayer's head.
"Will!"She hissed.
"What?" Willow replied without opening her eyes. 
"We're flying!" Buffy whispered.
"We're what?" Willow asked, opening her eyes to find
herself much taller then normal. "Oh!" she said,
realising what was happening and gently lowering them
to the ground. "Got to stop doing that."
"I'll say!" Faith piped up from beside them. 
"Might attract unwanted attention!" Cordelia added to
her lover's comment.
"Yeah, Yeah, I said sorry." Willow snapped, annoyed
more at her loss of control then at the teasing
couple.
*****
Later that night after the couples had picked up Dawn
from Xander's place, and the house had quieted down,
Willow was laying awake, deep in thought.
//I need to learn more control. I need to find a
teacher for magic. Maybe this Summer, we can all go on
a vacation in Europe, and I can find a mentor//
Willow was deep in thought, trying to find a solution
to her problem, when suddenly she found herself in a
bright room furnished entirely in white. //Where am
I?// She wondered.
"You're somewhere between the land of the living and
the land of the dead." Came a reply to her unspoken
question, in a voice she'd never thought to hear
again.
"Tara?" she asked.

TBC
Note: How's that for a cliffhanger?
