["Electronis Zappa" <electronis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Couldn?t pass up this challenge. Please bear in mind that it?s nearly
4:40 and I?ve been up for about 22 hours now, so it might not make a ton
of sense. Restless 2 is coming before St. David?s Day I promise. I?ve
also started work on another fic, ?A Day To Long? and hope to have the
first chapter out soon. Ok, enough yammering, here?s the fic

Summary: Response to Kirayoshi?s challenge
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
?I still can?t believe you got a DVD player! That?s so cool. Hello Third
Millennium!?
 
?Ah Dawnie, two things. One, the DVD player kinda came out in the last
millennium. Two, for my people, it?s the year 5763.?
 
Buffy smiled at her friend, happy to have her back. ?Anyway, as I told
you before since I?ll be starting the new job soon, it?s a combo
Christmas, Chanukah, Welcome home Willow present.?
 
?Does this mean I won?t be getting any thing for Christmas??
 
?No, you?ll get a lump of coal.? Dawn was about to protest before Buffy
cut her off. ?No, you?ll still get presents, just not as many.?
 
Hearing that she would indeed be getting Christmas presents cheered her
up. ?So, what movie did you rent to break it in anyway??
 
?The Fellowship of the Ring. I thought since we didn?t get to see it in
theaters what with the badness that was last year, we should watch it
now.?
 
?Oh I love Liv Tyler!? Buffy and Willow stared at her. ?What, Willow
likes girls, that means I can?t? You didn?t notice my little crush on
Tara?? Willow began to choke up at the mention of her beloved. ?Oh
God, Willow I?m so sorry! It still hurts me think about her too. But
hey, Liv Tyler with Elf ears, cute hunh??
 
?So, you were just going to let me figure things out when you brought a
girl home?? The slayer asked her younger sister.
 
?I was going to tell you if I found a girl I liked. But I?m not gay, I
like boys too, I just don?t want to limit myself?
 
?Chasing Amy? Willow offered
 
?What was that?? Dawn asked.
 
?The movie Chasing Amy. Ben Affleck falls in love with a lesbian, and
she tells him she didn?t think it was right to halve her options by
excluding her own gender.?
 
?Yeah kinda like that. Besides Buffy, what about you and Faith? You
mean to tell me nothing went on between the two of you??
 
?Faith did flirt with me, and I thought about it, but she wasn?t my
type.?
 
?What?s that supposed to mean?? Willow asked.
 
?Just that, she wasn?t my type. Now I believe a certain teenager said
something about Liv Tyler as an elf?? With that, they began to get
drinks and snacks around to enjoy the movie.
 
Three hours later, as the movie ended, Dawn was the first to speak
?That was so cool, I can?t wait to see it in theaters. Promise me we?ll
see it in the theater??
 
?Sure, unless something Apocalyptic comes up, but what are the odds of
that happening??
 
?Uh Buffy, in this town? Besides, remember the great power rising thing
the coven sensed??
 
?Good point. I promise you we?ll see it, first chance we get.?
 
?You know, if you really want to know what happens, you could try
reading. Remember that place we used to hang out? You could have found
it there, or in your case, the new library.?
 
?Uck, reading? Don?t I have to do enough of that for school? Anyway,
it?s late and I?m tired. I think I?m going to go dream of a beautiful
elf girl saving me. Love you guys?
 
?Night, love you too Dawnie.? Buffy said as she hugged her sister.
 
?You won?t be the only one dreaming of her? added Willow as she got a
hug of her own. With that, Dawn ascended the stairs toward her room.
 
?That little imp! I just realized she left us to clean up. Maybe I
should reconsider the coal.?
 
?Aw Buffy, it?s not so bad, I?ll help you.? Willow said as she gathered
up the bowl and bags of cookies, leaving the glasses for Buffy.
 
?So, how are you Willow? I hope Dawn didn?t hurt you too much when she
said what she did. You know us Summers girls, we don?t always think
before we speak.?
 
?No, Buffy, it?s ok. But the movie kind of got me thinking. The whole
thing with the ring drawing you, and eventually devouring you? I can
really relate to that. When I did that spell to bring you back, I
tapped something. Little by little it kept wanting me to use it. I had
to resist. And after the incident with Amy and getting Dawn into the
car wreck, oddly enough while on the way to see the very same movie we
just watched, I stopped. I didn?t do a single spell. Till that bastard
Warren came along. Then I just gave into it. I was the magic. You
know it wasn?t me that killed Warren, it was the magic. If I had kept
on the path I was, the magic would have devoured me. If I didn?t just
burn out like Sam said, I would have been as warped as the wraiths. If
it weren?t for Giles and Xander, I would have been. If you think about
it, Xander?s my Sam, the loyal sidekick, always by my side to make sure
that nothing bad happens to me.?
 
?Hate to break it to you, but Xander?s Pippin or Merry, and Dawn?s the
one he?s not. Always getting into trouble, needing to be rescued. Ok
so we?ve all needed to be rescued from something or another at some
point, but that?s not my point. I?m Frodo. One person, on a quest to
stop evil. Ring a bell? Let?s see if I can remember ?In every
generation, there is a chosen one. One girl in all the world who can
stop the demons and vampires, hell gods, nerd trios? something like
that. But you were the one who stopped the nerd...? Willow began to
look dejected at the mention of what she did, magic or otherwise.
?Anyway, I?m so Frodo. If anybody?s Sam, it?s you girl. Faithful
companion through and through. You?ve always been looking out for me.
Who was the one to bring me back around when I went catatonic after
Glory got Dawn? Who brought me back from the dead? Forced my lazy butt
to pick classes freshman year? You Will. You?ve always been there, and
you always will be. I?m awfully lucky to have a friend like you?
 
Willow blushed at Buffy?s words. ?Well, you have to agree that Giles is
Gandalf.?
 
?Totally! I can just see him with the same white beard.? Both girls
chuckled at the image. ?But seriously though, wise old wizard who
guides the younger ones before he goes away? If that?s not Giles, I
don?t know what is.?
 
Willow let the thought sink in a moment before changing the subject.
?Buffy, earlier, when you said Faith wasn?t your type, you never
actually said it was cause she was a girl.?
 
?Good observation. You get a gold star. Or maybe a rainbow sticker?
That?s good too right??
 
?Let me be perfectly clear, you?re saying you like girls too??
 
?I?m saying I agree with what you said about not halving your options.
But then again, you don?t practice what you preach.?
 
?Well, Outside of Xander and Oz, I really haven?t found any men I like.
And I?m SO over both of them now. It?s like I told Anya, it?s not about
hating the men, I?m just centered around the girl on girl action. So,
if Faith isn?t your type, then what is??
 
?You.?
 
?Me?? Willow asked, taken aback.
 
?You.? Buffy leaned in and kissed Willow, ensuring her she was serious.
 
?Hmmmmmmmm I think now that Elf girl I dream about might look like a
certain vampire slayer I know.?
 
?You mean to tell me that Faith?s your type??
 
?BUFFY! You knew what I meant.?
 
?I?m kidding Will! I love seeing you all flustered like that. I think
it?s cute.?
 
Willow blushed again, and hugged the slayer tightly. ?I love you Buffy
Summers?
 
?And I love you Willow Rosenberg.?
