While the gang played and had talked in the rec room, Giles and 
Sara were in the office. Sara was sitting behind a large cherry wood 
desk, fiddling with a pen. "Ok, Giles how bad is it", she asked.  

"Well", Giles started rubbing the bridge of his nose; " she seems to 
be getting somewhat better these last couple of weeks, since she 
asked for the help. She sleeps a lot, doesn't eat much, nightmares 
most night. She wakes up at least once a night screaming for Tara, at 
least until the night Buffy called me to tell me Willow had awaken 
her to ask her to call me. I had already called you by than but I 
hadn`t told them".  

Sara got up and walked around the desk and was standing in front 
of Giles and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder " you love them 
don't you, Rupert"? 

"I couldn't love them more if they had been my own kids", Giles 
just looked at Sara with such love in his eyes she almost cried, " 
Sara help her please, you are the only one who can". 

Sara pulled the watcher into her arms and hugged him, " Giles does 
she want it for herself or for you guys, I can't help her if she 
isn't doing it for her"? 

All Giles could do was lower his head and sigh; he didn't really 
know the answer. Willow was going through so much grief over Tara.  
She just seemed to want to give up but she had seemed to have a light 
returning to her in the last little bit. 

Sara watched her old friend face go through so many emotions in 
the brief seconds his mind was elsewhere and it was too much for 
her. " Giles I will do the best that I can and I will make her as 
good as I can but I am human and can only do what she allows me too", 
Sara said remorsefully. 

" That is all I am asking of you", Giles smiled.  

"So have you told anyone about me yet", Sara asked as she sat down 
in the chair beside Giles. 

He removed his glasses and started to clean them with a clothe he 
had got out of his pocket, " No I wasn't sure if you would want to 
and I am not sure how Buffy will take it".   

" So you think she will give me problems than" Sara asked? 

" I don't think so Willow is very important to her and she would 
never do anything to put her in more jeopardy", he answered honestly.

" Good the last thing I need is a pissed off slayer under foot", 
Sara said, " do you know what brought the change about, you said two 
weeks ago was it"? 

" No and yes, nothing we can pinpoint", Giles answered. 

"Giles is there anything else that I ought to know that you can 
tell me that she might not, I know about what happened, from your 
accounts and quite a few other people but you were there so I have 
taken them the most seriously".   

" No nothing that I can think of right off hand, the council wanted 
her but I convinced them she is not a threat anymore and that I had 
already called you, but if she even tries anything else I won't be 
able to keep them away", Giles sighed and thought about the fight he 
had with them.

" Don't worry about the council Giles, I can handle them, you know 
they still are scared of me, they piss me off", Sara giggled, " Giles 
this isn't going to be pretty you know right"? 

"Yes of course I know I wasn't so far from where she is now". 

" Nor was I, old friend", Sara got up and walk to Giles, " well 
lets go meet everyone now, and let me do things my way tonight, you 
may not like it but I do have a plan".  

" Sara, how is Jennifer doing", Giles asked.

Sara just giggled " well let me tell you about what that child did?
Giles and Sara walked toward the rec room and the others.
