Snippet: Numfar and the Goat Slayer

[buffythebushkangaroo@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Last Time On Numfar and the Goat Slayer:


Tara: You never really loved me, you... You...
Willow: Tara... I...

*

Giles: I've got a theory that its a demon; a dancing demon. No, 
something isn't right there...
Willow: I've got a theory, some kid is dreaming, and we're all stuck 
inside his wacky Broadway nightmare.
Anya: I've got a theory, it could be bunnies...

*

Demon: Krevlorneswath... Can it be true? I've often prayed that I 
might look again upon your face!

*

Fred: The handsome man... He saved me from the demons.

*

Amy: Oh, thank you, Tara. I owe you... so much...
Tara: I didn't, I...

*

Lorne's Mother: We noticed feasting and celebrations. Your brother 
Numfar did the dance of joy for three moons. Numfar! Do the dance of 
joy!

*

Buffy: I still can't believe it... You love me?
Willow: I always have. Didn't you ever realise?

*

Tara: Where... Where am I?
Ta'Hoffren: You are in my home; Arash Ma'har.

*

Tara: I... I will. I will!
Ta'Hoffren: Revenge... It will be your power, your focus.

*

Buffy: Willow?
Willow: Meh!
Buffy: Oh my god, Willow!

*

Lorne: Numfar, is that you?
Numfar: Well met, little brother. I bring the Goat Slayer to face our 
Nemesis. Pray, help us in our mighty quest.

"Giles, you've gotta help me! Willow's a goat!"
"A goat?" Giles rubbed his eyes. He so wanted to be back in England.
Buffy grabbed him by the lapels. "Which part of Willow being a goat 
didn't you understand? She eats carrots. And my furniture! You have 
to do something!"
"I see." Giles frowned. "Did you say Willow's a goat?"
Buffy screamed.

*

"There," Tara pouted. "It's done."
Ta'Hoffren smiled. "You have done well, my most bountiful child. 
You have done... Most exceedingly well. the ring is yours. Do not 
break it, or lose it. The ring is your power, and without it... You 
are as nothing."
Tara nodded. "I will not lose it."

*

"So why are you here?" Lorne stared at his elder brother.
Numfar laughed. "Little brother, our Wise Ones felt the power even 
from our realm of Plrtz Glrb. The Goat is here, the Nemesis, the Dark 
One. Her evil power will destroy our world, as it was written, unless 
one born, the Chosen One, can defeat her in Defra'mar. I have 
travelled far, and with me I have brought the Goat Slayer. Goat 
Slayer, do the dance of welcome!"

*

Buffy sat on the stairs, Willow chewing the hem of her dress.
"I can't believe it," she muttered. "I'm in love with a goat. Mom 
warned me about this. She said, first it will be boys and liquor, 
then it will become a downward spiral into evil and making love to 
goats."
Willow stopped chewing. "Meh?" she asked, hopefully.

*

Anya put down the phone.
"That was Buffy," she told Xander. "Willow's a goat."
Xander continued watching WWF Smackdown. "That's great honey. Did 
she say if she needed help?"
Anya glared at him. "You just won't take anything I say seriously! 
I was right about the bunnies, wasn't I?"

End Snippet...
