A/N: I'm posting this on Christmas Eve (well, GMT it's about 9pm on Christmas Eve right now) so it should be up on time for Christmas day (GMT and other time zones after it).

When Willow was well, she went back to live with Buffy. She did so reluctantly, but Buffy genuinely wanted her to stay. Things wouldn't be the same, but maybe they could start working to make things even slightly normal.

Willow voiced her decision about magic to Buffy one evening. "I'll help, you. Only if you want." Buffy said quickly, even though she didn't know how she could help. Things still felt very awkward. Buffy wanted to be angry at Willow, but her anger died away while Willow was in hospital. There was nothing she could do while Willow was in a coma. Besides, Spike let her take all her anger and tears out on him. "It's probably gonna be good for you anyway. After…" She had to be nice to Willow, especially now, since she had just found out about Tara's death with happened almost a year ago.

"Yeah,"

Willow headed up to her bedroom silently. She hated being there, but couldn't avoid it. It would be best to start taking things out of there. Magic things.

There was a whole shelf filled with spell books. One of them containing spells of mind control. The dangerous one. Willow remembered the last time she had been in the room before going into a coma. She was with Tara. And Tara wasn't happy.

She remembered about saying something about reversing time a few days before that. 'Want me to reverse time and take it back, 'cause I could probably-'. But that was where her theory ended.

Maybe it would have worked. Maybe……

There was a book containing spells on time reversal on the shelf. Willow quickly searched, and on finding it, pulled it from the shelf. She found the right page and began reading the spell. Willow stopped herself.

Consequences. Fine print. Side effects. Each had to be taken into account. Luckily, at the bottom of the page was written (in fine print); Please contact Phoria for details on spell.

That had to work. Willow had heard of this goddess before. She knew of every spell in the universe, but she was hard to track down, and didn't always give information when asked for it. She disliked some spells.

Willow chanted the summoning spell underneath the warning. A blue light appeared at the ceiling. A voice came from it.

"Yes? Did you call me?"

"Ummm…yes." Willow hesitated. "I need some information on a spell."

"People never ask me for that," Phoria muttered sarcastically. "C'mon, which spell? I don't have much time."

"A time reversing spell. Please."

"Well, I know it. But, it depends what reason it's for. I had some nut trying to get rid of transportation and electricity last week. Wanted to live like it was the stone age. And don't lie, because I'll be watching you." She said sternly.

So Willow told her story.

"That doesn't sound too good. Are you sure you want to do this this spell? Because you'll always remember that you fixed everything with magic, and you'd always remember how much you hurt everyone."

Willow never thought of that. "Isn't there something that will keep me from remembering?"

"But what if you end up doing it all again without realising, and you get stuck in a viscous circle?"

Willow really hadn't thought this out properly at all.

"Although," Phoria added "we could do something to make you forget, and fill your head with sense. About fixing things with magic, I mean. So then you'd realise what your friends did, about magic being dangerous if you use too much."

"We could do that?" Willow's eyes shone as she craned her neck to look at the essence of the goddess.

"Yes. We'd be mixing a few spells together, but I know how to do it properly, with no bad consequences."

Willow hung her head in shame. "Don't be glum. We'll soon have this fixed. You'll be back with the people you love. Now, where would you like to go back to?"

Willow's head filled with a list of things she'd like to change. She didn't want Buffy to know she was in heaven. But Giles would still be angry with her for doing the spell to bring her back. She didn't want to have fought with Tara about magic. The big spell would have to go. But, then, Buffy would still be dead. What if Willow found the spell and showed it to Giles? No, that wouldn't work. He would be against it, and Buffy would still have been in heaven.

It took a lot of thinking, but Willow finally figured it out. She would have to go back to when Glory wanted the key. There was a spell she found the summer after Buffy's death. It would have closed the portal. Maybe, if she left it for herself to find, things would start fixing themselves. She wouldn't have to bring Buffy back, which wouldn't prompt her magic 'addiction'. But besides, she was going to be 'filled with sense', so she'd be okay. Buffy wouldn't be unhappy, Tara wouldn't leave her, and everything would fall into place. No-one was going to die as a result of this spell too, which was a huge plus.

After more planning, which took up a lot of Phoria's time, the spell could be cast. Phoria had promised Willow that if anything were to go wrong, she would reverse the spell.

Willow opened her eyes. She was sitting at the table of the Magic Box. She read the page that was in front of her. "Giles!" She called. "Giles! I've found a spell to close the portal!"

Giles came running up to her. "You're right!" He cried happily.

So, that is where everything started again for Willow. And everything turned out okay, just how Willow thought it should be.

The End……for now at least. Muhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

(This is meant to be my super-eeville laugh.

Not just plain-evil/eeville. SUPER-EEVILLE!)

A/N: I hoped you liked it! Okay, it was kind of weird, and I wrote it in a few minutes, but I checked over it many times. Hopefully, you weren't too puzzled by it. Happy Christmas (or whatever you may be celebrating)! J
