Author's note: Hey, is anyone else but me wondering where the HELL all of the Oz fics are? Well I think it's time to start bringing Oz back like everyone wants the show to! He might be off the show, but he can still be in fics! Hope you like this one. It's the Oz revolution! lol This is chapter one, I don't know when chapter two's coming, you'll just have to keep checking.

I wonder if she cut her hair, Oz thought. Will she look the same? Will she be totally different? Is she still with Tara? I know I can't be with her, but I need to see her. He couldn't help asking these questions in his mind as he pulled in to the driveway of the Summers house. He turned off the car engine and exhaled deeply. He was really nervous. Calm down Oz, he thought, Oh great, now I'm giving myself pep talks. He finally mustered the courage to get out of the van. He walked through the grass and up the steps to the doorway.
"Looks like it's now or never" he whispered to himself as he reached over to knock on the door. He knocked once, waiting for someone to answer the door. No one came. Oh jeez, he thought, what if Buffy doesn't even live here anymore? He knocked again, louder this time.
"Coming!" yelled a voice from inside.
A few minutes later the door opened. It was Dawn.
"Oz!" she yelled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Hey Dawn," he said hugging her slightly. "Is anybody around? Willow, Buffy, Xander, Giles?"
"Umm... No one's here right now, but you could check the magick shop, Giles owns it. He and Anya will be there, I don't know about anyone else" she said, releasing him.
"Okay, I'll do that. Wanna come?"
"Sure" she said, "I usually do my homework there, but I forgot one of my books here."
"Alright, hop in."
***************
The bell on the door chimed as Oz and Dawn walked into the magic shop. Anya was helping a customer (poor customer) and Giles was cleaning his glasses. Giles cleaning his glasses, Oz thought, now there's something you don't see every five seconds. It was annoying, yet somehow comforting. It brought back so many memories. Giles suddenly looked up.
"Oz" he said.
"Yep"
"Nice to see you. Did you find....?" he let the word trail off, Oz knew what he was asking.
"Yeah potion of some sort. Smelled awful. Seems to have done the trick."
"Yes, quite."
"Is Buffy here?" he asked.
"She's er.. training, right through that door."
"Right"
Oz walked through the door to find Buffy doing some major damage to a punching bag. She turned and looked at him and was so surprized to see him that as she threw a punch, she missed the punching bag and fell on the floor. Oz ran over and helped her up.
"See?" he said jokingly,"sometimes the little guys are tougher than they look."
"Oz" she said, still laughing. "what are you doing here? You found a cure?"
"Yeah. Potion."
"Have you seen Willow yet?"
"She's at class" he said.
"oh.... there's something I have to tell you. She and Tara... they... broke up. Willow's been going a little overboard on the magick and lied to Tara about it."
"Wow. Willow? She's not the same is she?"
"In some ways she is... in others... not so much. She's becoming a danger. Not only to herself but to everyone else. She almost got Dawn killed a couple of nights ago."
"Wow. I didn't pick the greatest time to come back, did I?"
"No, no... I'm sure she'll be glad to see you. Maybe you're just what she needs..."
"I hope so." he answered.
Buffy looked at the clock on the wall.
"Well, I guess that's enough training for today. Listen, do you need a place to stay? I'm sure I can make up the couch for you. Not the most comfortable spot, but at least it's somewhere."
"Actually, that would be great."
"Great"
*awkward silence*
"Willow should be here any-"
Just then, Willow came bursting through the door.
"Buffy, Giles said...." she let the words trail off as she saw Oz. "Oz..."
"Willow, look, we need to talk."
"Yeah"
"Let's go for a ride, the van's outside."
Willow and Oz walked throught the magick shop to get outside, ignoring the stares of Giles, Anya, Dawn, and Xander. They got outside and got into the van. They just sat in the seats, not even looking at eachother.
"So..."
"You found it?" Willow interrupted. "The cure?"
"Yeah"
"Why did you come back? I mean, me and Tara..."
"I don't know. I had to see you. Even if it meant we just had to be friends. Even if I had to see you two together. I just wasn't home anywhere. Sunnydale's my home. You're my home."
"Well, I should probably tell you... Tara and I..."
"Broke up" he finished for her. "Buffy told me."
"I've missed you so much." she said.
"I've missed you too"
Suddenly, completely on instinct, they kissed. Slow at first, and then it became more passionate.
"So does this mean you'd still?" he asked.
"Well, I'd still if, you'd still."
"Oh I'd still. I'd very still."
"Agreed. No biting though."
"Not a problem anymore."
