Oz: Now and Then by DarkImmortal 20

Disclaimer: I don't own BTVS. The show is own by the evil Joss Whedon.

Summary: Ever wonder, what happened to Oz when he left Sunnydale again in S4? This is my version of what happened to him.

I was living in Tokyo when I heard Sunnydale was destroyed. I heard the news from Michael, a childhood friend of mine. He was visiting me when he told me. The first person I thought after I heard the news was Willow. Even though it's been four years since I last saw her, I still care about her. She understood me and stood by me when I became a werewolf. I never thought in my life I would meet a girl like her, but I knew she was the one when we first had a conversation together. I knew when I left her, a part of me knew I was making a big mistake, but I had to go. I didn't want to hurt her again, so I had to leave.

It wasn't until a couple of months later; I went back to Sunnydale and see her again. She was happy when I couldn't change into a werewolf when the moon was full. I really thought, we could have picked up the relationship, but I was wrong. She was involved with someone else, a girl. Her name is Tara and she's also a witch like Willow. Before I left Sunnydale again, I and Tara talked about Willow. I told her, "If you and Willow have a relationship, take care of her." She gave me a faint smile and said, "It's Willow decision if she wants to have a relationship with me." I reply back by saying, "Don't worry. You guys are going to be together. I have a feeling." That was it. I said goodbye to Willow and the others one last time and left Sunnydale for good. I traveled to LA to spend a week with relatives. I wanted to see how Angel was, but never really had a chance to go to his place.

After that, I went to Tokyo and enroll in college. I graduated this past year and now working as a teacher assistant in a kindergarten school in Osaka, Japan. I speak fluent Japanese and teaching the kids how to speak English. I really enjoy my work and glad my life is doing well. The last time, I changed into a werewolf was in Sunnydale and I hope I never change again, unless if it involves saving the world, then I'll do it in a second. I think about the Scooby Gang now and then. I wonder where they all living now and have their lives change? I hope one day, I'll meet all again and if not I remembered those years with them. But I really hope I do meet them again, so I could introduced them to Marcos, my two year old son. Fortunately, he is not a werewolf like me.

Ok, Oz doesn't know that Tara died a couple of years ago and that Willow is with Kennedy. So he still thinks Willow and Tara are together.

That's my story and hopes you guys like it. I'm planning to write a second story about Oz, but it depends if this story gets reviews or not. Please review! Thanks.
