Nice snippet, Cheryl.

with straight-falling flames,
a cricket rubs his wings,
scraping up thin sweet song.

Summary: Buffy watches (get your minds out of the gutter it's not 
what you're thinking <G>).
Spoilers: To be safe, anything that involves Tara is game.
Feedback: Would be nice, any comments/criticisms to the email addy 
above.

Buffy sat perfectly still in her hiding place on the rocky outcrop. 
She could see Willow and Tara in the clearing below. They sat crossed 
legged on opposite sides of a large wood fire. Both wore flowing 
green dresses and held their hands towards the fire, a small object 
nestled in each. 
She could hear Willow mumbling but couldn't make out the words. 
Before long Tara joined in, both their voices seemed to merge into 
one as their chanting grew louder. 
Buffy suddenly realised why the words didn't make sense, her two 
friends were chanting in a foreign language. It could have been any 
language but Buffy was sure it was Latin. The favoured language for 
all things old. Prophecies, spells they were all the same to her. One 
big mass of words that didn't make sense. 
Willow understood them though, Buffy felt herself brim with pride at 
her friends knowledge. Caught up in her own thoughts she hadn't 
noticed that the two Wicca's were now standing and had started to 
circle slowly round the fire. 
She watched intently as Willow raised her left hand into the air, the 
air around her hand glowed with a bright white light. As the light 
faded she threw the small object into the fire. Tara then raised her 
left hand and the same light appeared, again when the light vanished 
she threw her object into the fire. Both Willow and Tara repeated the 
move with their right hands, Willow leading, this time the light was 
a deep red. When all of the objects were in the flames the voices of 
the two Wicca's rose to almost a shout before quieting to a whisper. 
As their voices ceased Buffy watched the flames.  Pictures began to 
form on both sides of the fire. Each Wicca saw the picture meant for 
them but from Buffys vantage point she saw both. She looked at Tara's 
side of the flames and saw a picture of Willow. Buffy looked at 
Willows side of the flames and gasped. The image on Willows side of 
the flames was her own.

The End
*****************************
Hopefully that wasn't too jumbled. I couldn't get the last few lines 
right so if I've completely confused you the reflection that Willow 
and Buffy saw in the flames was Buffys.
