I don't care if they bring her back or not, just as long as she stays
dead. Destroy the integrity of season six? I think Joss and Marti did a
fine job of that on their own. And it has nothing to do with killing
Tara.

Pro? Con? What's the point? See my response below.

What's with all the Kennedy hate, people? I've never gotten this.

My response. Sorry folks, I couldn't resist. -

Tara Comes Back and Kennedy is out of the Picture

Willowâ??s body jerked rigid as thunder boomed and lightening
flashed across the sky, illuminating the gossamer blinds covering the
living room window. Dread, uh-oh, she thought. A knock at the door
stopped her from fleeing to the kitchen and the comfort her
girlfriendâ??s arms promised. Instead, she went to the door and
opened it, hoping nothing otherworldly would be on the other side of the
threshold.

â??Ta â?" Ta â?" Tara â?¦â?? she sputtered, taking
in the rotting corpse standing in the doorway.

Tara smiled as she stepped into the apartment, her arms outstretched to
Willow, seeking a hug. â??Hey Wills,â?? she said, wrapping her
well preserved but definitely still rotting arms around the red headed
witch.

Willow shuddered at the contact with the dead flesh. â??Kenn!
Buffy!â?? she screamed. Tara let go of her, stepping back,
frowning.

Buffy and Kennedy walked out of the kitchen casually, side by side, each
girl draping an arm around the others waist. Buffy nibbled on
Kennedyâ??s ear as they moved.

â??What the â?¦ heck!â?? Willow demanded, wanting to
curse, but finding herself unable to befoul her language with course
words.

The two girls quickly let go of the other as Buffy pulled her lips and
teeth from Kennedyâ??s delectable earlobe. Buffy wore a sheepish
grin. â??Uh, sorry about that Will. Ever since I got this recently
gay thing going, well I canâ??t seem to keep my hands off all the
hot lesbians,â?? Buffy said, shrugging.

â??Hey, Buffy,â?? Tara greeted the blond slayer with a small,
shy wave.

â??Tara!â?? Buffy squealed, running over to the dead girl and
giving her a fiercely tight hug. â??You look â?¦ well corpsey,
I guess.â?? She shrugged as she released Tara from the hug.

â??Buffy, recently gay?â?? Tara questioned, tilting her head.

â??Yeah, I guess you could â?¦â??

â??Buffy!â?? Willow yelled. â??Sheâ??s dead!
Taraâ??s a zombie! And Kenn, stop glaring at her. After what you
and Buffy were just doing, you have no right â?¦â??

â??I wasnâ??t glaring, Will. I was checking her out.
Sheâ??s really hot, her pictures donâ??t do her
justice,â?? Kennedy said.

â??Sheâ??s dead!â?? Willow screamed. â??A walking
corpse!â??

Buffy quickly spun toward Willow, a hurt look plastered on her face.
â??I â?¦ I didnâ??t know you were so bigoted against the
dead, Will,â?? Buffy said.

â??Oh, Buffy, Iâ??m sorry. I didnâ??t mean â?¦ Angel
and Spike arenâ??t bad â?¦â??

â??Not them,â?? Buffy said. â??They suck! I mean me. I
was in the ground for half a year, Will. Just because my skin cleared up
quicker than Taraâ??s doesnâ??t mean weâ??re different.
Iâ??m a â?¦â??

Kennedy rapidly crossed the room to Tara and took the zombieâ??s
hand in hers, tugging the dead girl toward the door. â??Come
on,â?? Kennedy said. â??Letâ??s get out of here and let
them have their moment.â??

Tara looked first at Willow and then at Buffy real quick, then turned
her head to the younger slayer. â??Ok,â?? the zombie girl
said. Tara and Kennedy left.

Willow turned to face the door as it closed, her mouth drawn up into a
tight oh, opening and closing like a fish feeding. Buffy stood behind
her. â??Did my girlfriend just leave with my dead
girlfriend?â?? Willow asked after a moment.

â??Uh, yeah,â?? Buffy answered, wrapping her arms around
Willowâ??s waist from behind. â??Which is of the good,
â??cause youâ??re the hottest lesbian around.â??

â??Eeep,â?? Willow squeaked as she felt Buffyâ??s teeth
and lips start to nibble on her earlobe.
