Prologue

In the Beginning There was Buffy

June 20, 2006
Journal Entry

It is strange how things turn out. As cliched as it
sounds, I never expected my life to turn out the way
it has. I've gone through so many different
transitions over the last few years, that to be
honest, nothing should surprise me.

In the beginning there lived a shy girl and her two
clownish best friends, Xander and Jesse. They lived in
blissful ignorance in a town called Sunnydale. OK
maybe blissful isn't the right word. The girl's
parents paid very little attention to her, as long as
she did well in school (which she always did.). Her
best friend Xander's parent's paid even less attention
to him than the shy girl's, and as they grew older,
the trio was ostracized in high school, as people who
don't exactly "fit in" frequently are. But we were
content enough I guess.

I lusted silently after Xander; Jesse lusted not so
silently after Cordelia, and Xander just plain lusted
after everything in a skirt (with the exception of
me.)

Then came Buffy..... Jesse died, we found out the
things that we thought only existed in our nightmares
were not only real, but thriving in the lovely town of
Sunnydale. You see Buffy is the Vampire Slayer. If
you want to know about the history of Vampire Slayer's
please read A Watchers Chronicles. The information
will be at the back of this book.

Yes boys and girls Vampires exist, and with the
exception of Angel, Vampires are nothing like the
sometimes haunted, but always beautiful creatures
depicted by Anne Rice. (Side note Anne Rice wouldn't
know a real vampire if it came and bit her on the...
well you know. But I digress. I am good as digressing,
heck as a matter of fact I am the queen of.... Well
there I go again. Back to the tale.)

Anyway, Buffy came to town and we became her
slayerettes as we called ourselves. We, being Xander
and I. My name is Willow, did I mention that before??
I'm afraid that I'm new to this journalizing thing.
Giles suggested that I start documenting the events in
my life. With everything all chaotic and jumbled the
way life is, especially on the Hellmouth, Giles said
that it might give things some clarity and perspective
to my crazy life, not to mention being a valuable
resource if something were to happen to me. I decided
that the best way to write this was just to put down
anything that popped into my head. It may be weird and
strange, but I have never claimed to be anything else.
Also at the back of this journal, is a compilation of
all of the spells that I have cast or have written
myself. It just made sense to have everything
together. But there I go on the tangent train again.
(choo choo.) OK, OK I never said I wasn't strange (

So Buffy, with the assistance of Giles, Xander, Angel
(the vampire I mentioned, he has a soul, unlike normal
vampires.) and occasionally Cordelia, saved the world
three times and, stopped a few prophecies. Buffy
died, but came back and I almost died twice. This all
happened before my freshman year in college, with a
few extra tidbits thrown in.

I met Oz, my werewolf boyfriend and started on the
path to becoming a Witch. Angel lost his soul, got
sent to hell and then came back. Faith the other
slayer went rogue and Buffy put her in a coma, and the
Major tried to eat the graduating class of 199, which
resulted in us blowing up the school. A lot of other
things happened in those three years, but I don't want
to go into that right now. This is supposed to be an
account of my life now, not my past.

Then I started college life that was when things got
interesting, (as if they were boring before, lol.)
Anyway Buffy and I became roommates; Oz got furry with
a she wolf, killed her and then left me. He didn't
come back. Buffy started getting chummy with Riley,
we found out that he was part of a demon hunting
organization called The Initiative. Spike got
de-fanged so to speak, and I met Tara. Tara was the
only person in my Wicca group that had a clue. It was
through Tara that I learned two very important things,
one was Witchcraft.

It was because of her and her mother that I've been
able to come into my power as a witch. Tara and her
mother became my mentors. Over the next four years
both my powers and Tara's grew into what they are now.


The second important thing that I learned was that I
was "kinda gay." It was something that had been
lingering in the back of my mind since the Evil Willow
incident (long story, don't wanna go into it right
now.) But, I was in love with Oz and at that point in
my life any abstract thought took second place to the
reality of a boyfriend. When I met Tara, the
suspicions about my sexuality became a reality.

I don't mean to sound so blasé and matter of fact
about discovering my sexuality. It wasn't an
overnight thing, or even a lust at first sight thing.
It took almost six months of casual flirting, and
eventually, seeing the campus counselor, before I came
to terms with it, but Tara stuck with me and our
friendship grew stronger for it. We dated briefly,
but Tara called it off because she said that she
didn't want to share me. After all these years I
still haven't figured out what she meant by that, but
we still remained friends. Heck with the exception of
Buffy, and Xander, she became one of my closest
friends and she eventually became a slayerette.

The next four years just seemed to fly by. Buffy dated
Riley for about a year, but eventually they broke up,
and he moved on to fight evil somewhere else. We
saved the world a few more times, made UC Sunnydale a
safer place, and even managed to get an education.
Giles eventually got over being a "Man of Luxury" and
took a teaching position at UCS. Xander also got it
together, and went to community college. He then
took the entrance exam, and joined Sunnydale Police
Department. He decided that it was about time that
police stopped being so clueless, so far it's working,
slowly, but it's working. He and Anya are still
together and driving each other nuts, but they're
happy.

Buffy graduated with Bachelors in Business, and with
the help of her wiley roommate (that would be me,)
opened a Karate Studio. The studio is doing well, and
Buffy is the longest living slayer in history and we
intend to keep it that way.

I also graduated, with a Masters in Software
Engineering. I worked as a contractor for a pretty big
computer company while I was in school, it paid for
tuition and gave me a enough money left over for the
start-up on the studio, and the start up for my own
business. I own a small but successful Web Development
company. OK so I'm not the next Bill Gates, but I
like what I do. It pays well, and gives me the kind of
flexibility and anonymity that a slayerette and
practicing witch needs.

That about brings us to the present. I may eventually
write a full account of what happened in the last
seven years, but for now I want to focus on the
future. I just bought my first house. Buffy and I
decorated it and everything. I have my buds, my
business and my house. Life is pretty good.


Part One
Hospitals and Hot Tubs

Closing the book, Willow stretched languidly, and
checked her watch. "Six-o'clock, Buffy should be
coming home soon and I should think about dinner."
Willow thought with a smile, her tummy grumbling.
Humming softly Willow closed the door behind her and
walked down two flights of stairs to the kitchen.
Surveying her surroundings, Willow still got a flush
of pride as she walked through the enormous house. It
had originally been a medium sized warehouse on the
corner of town, but the industrial section had closed,
and the surrounding properties were turned into
fashionable condo's, hip shop's and restaurants, and a
Pacific Theaters Gigoplex, in a city wide effort to
make Sunnydale a more metropolitan city. Willow took
one look at the building and fell in love with it.
She then had the entire place renovated. Walls were
knocked out and replaced with windows and skylights.
The house consisted of three floors.

The third floor was Willow's; it was a beautiful
sprawling loft. Hardwood floors gleamed brilliantly,
and delicate but colorful silk screens separated the
office, lounging area and bedroom. The office area
held a serviceable computer station, with two
computers, a printer and a scanner. The rest of the
office was taken up by book shelves, books piled
everywhere, and a old Dingo's Ate My Baby poster,
hanging on the wall. The lounge area was simply a
large bright red couch, a chrome floor lamp and two
marble topped side tables. Her worn but loved baby
blanket was thrown over the arm of the couch. In the
corner was a king-sized bed and off the right, she a
huge bathroom had been built into the room, complete
with a shower and a Jacuzzi tub for two. The loft was
bright, airy, comfortable, and completely Willow.

The second floor was Buffy's. After they graduated,
the two just assumed that they would share a place,
they spent most of their time together anyway, with
research and slayage and all that it just seemed
natural. Buffy's loft was different than Willow's it
was more eclectic and a little more stylized and hip.
Very Pier One, Very Buffy.

The first floor was ground zero. It held a
professional sized kitchen, breakfast nook, living
room, dinning room, laundry room and tucked in the
back was a workroom. The first floor, the main part
of the house, was decorated in an interesting mix off
Buffy and Willow.

The kitchen was cozy and warm, but big enough for
three people to work side by side and not get each
other's way. The breakfast area was where most of the
meals took place; there were windows everywhere and
the kitchen and breakfast nook were bright and
cheerful. In a fit of spontaneity, Willow found a 50's
style pub table, complete with chrome and cushy black
stools, a neon clock completed the room. The dinning
room was simple but comfortable. The living room,
really was what the name implied, with the exception
of the kitchen, the living room was the room that was
used the most. The furniture was big, overstuffed,
incredibly comfortable and black. To offset the black
furniture, the rest of the room was splashes of color.
Vibrant jewel colored pillows covered the chairs and
couch, the floor was covered with a brightly colored
rug and lush green plants hung everywhere. On the far
wall there was a large cherry wood entertainment
center, complete with state of the art stereo and a
big screen TV (Buffy's first major purchases). Next
to the entertainment center was an enormous bookshelf
crammed full of books. The room exuded warmth, and
visitors were immediately drawn to this room.

The workroom was nothing more than hardwood floors,
and mirrors on one wall. There was a blue gym mat on
one corner, and a large punching bag dangled from the
ceiling. On a cursory glance it would look like
nothing more than a small dance studio or gym, until
you noticed the knives and swords hanging on the wall;
a small alter in the back, and a huge pentagram burned
into the floor. This is where the serious Magik took
place. This was her sanctuary.

Willow gave a small mental check on her magical wards
and shields and padded into the kitchen. Singing
softly to the CD in the background, Willow confidently
moved around the kitchen preparing dinner for a hungry
Witch and a soon to be ravenous Slayer. The phone rang
in mid chop, and Willow answered it awkwardly, trying
to balance the phone, a knife and a carrot.

Willow listened to the agitated voice on the other
line, the knife and carrot clattered noisily to the
floor. Hanging up the phone, Willow vaulted up the
three sets of stairs, her face a mixture of worry and
rage. She slammed her feet into a pair of boots,
pulled on a sweatshirt and ran toward the door and
into the slayer.

"Whoa Tonto, where's the fire?" Buffy asked playfully,
smiling at her best friend. The smile turned to
concern, when she saw the expression on her friend's
face.

"Will, what is it? What's wrong?" She inquired softly,
pulling her friend into a hug.

Willow hugged her back tightly, then pulled back.

"Tara's in the hospital, its really serious Buffy,
they said she may not make it." Tears threatened to
spill out of her emerald eyes and she forcefully
pushed them back.

Buffy gave Willow's arm a quick squeeze then grabbed
her jacket off the floor, and set the burglar alarm to
the house.

"Come on, I'll drive." Buffy called and she led Willow
away from the house and locked the door behind her.

Willow sat silently in the passenger seat of Buffy's
Jeep, her face pale and tense. She said a silent plea
to the goddess, as Buffy broke every speeding law
written, both lost in their thoughts and hopes that
their friend was OK.
