Crash and Burn Part 2

**

Spike: One question: why?

NoV: SethOz wanted me to finish it. She said, and I quote: "One thing, are you just gonna leave it there? YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE OZ LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Spike: And you care, why?

NoV: Because, my dear Spike, I'm conservative.

Spike: Like you know what that means...by the way, what have you done to your hair?

NoV: (slumps at the thought of her super-poofy hair) Well, you see, I slept with braids in it...which is something I'll never do again.

Spike: I don't blame you in the least.

Oz&Willow: (walk in)

Willow: (laughing) Watch what we can do!! (nods at Oz)

Oz&Willow: (both do the can-can dance really fast)

Willow: (dies laughing)

Spike: That's the first time I've ever seen a pair of gerbils teach themselves a ridiculous trick.

Oz: (puts an arm around Spike) You're just jealous of our talent, Spikey.

Spike: Get away from me.

NoV: (notices Oz's multi-colored hair) What..did you do to your hair? (bursts into laughter) You look like you tripped into a berry patch, followed by a bucket of paint, then just a giant tub of colors!! (laughs hysterically)

Oz: Oh, yeah? Well, you look like Carrot Top.

NoV: (stops laughing) Well, you used to look like Carrot Top.

Oz: No, that wasn't me. I'm Oz. Not Seth...you're confusing people here.

Willow: May I interject?

NoV: Willow, you know who you remind me of? You remind me of that chirpy girl in the very old Romeo and Juliet movie. (mimics) "My only love sprung from my only hate."

Willow: (chirps) I am not chirpy!!!!

Oz: Why are we doing more of this story? I thought we ended it and were open to suggestions for a new one.

NoV: Well, I decided to extend this and make it into a request.

Oz: Which means--?

NoV: More Willoz fluff.

Oz: Crap.

Nov: Eventually some Spikoz fluff, too-

Spike&Oz: EEWW!!!

NoV: Shall we begin?

Willow breathed a deep sigh of relief upon hearing the ambulances. She only hoped that both of them would be able to hold on long enough to be rescued.

Soon, a group of men in hospital uniforms strode down the hill carrying medical gear.

Willow's vision blurred momentarily, but she smiled despite herself.



**



After many long minutes of yanking and crunching Willow's car, Willow and Oz were in the back of an ambulance on their way to the hospital.

Willow closed her hands over Oz's, silently hoping for his safe and quick recovery.

His eyes fluttered open and he looked at her, smiling.

Willow's breath caught in her chest. It took everything she had to smile and not cry. Oz stroked her cheek with his hand.

He cleared his throat and said, mysteriously, "Know what it means when it always rains when you're around someone?"

It took Willow a few seconds to collect herself and answer, "No. What does it mean?"

He looked at her and smiled a silly grin. "It means your elemental forces are acting up."

Willow couldn't help but laugh.

Oz suddenly turned serious and reached up and pulled her face towards his, kissing her. "But, with you," he whispered, "the sun always shines, even in the rain."

Willow had to bite her lip to keep from crying. "Oz..." she murmured.



**

NoV: (adds dramatically) And suddenly they hit a bump in the road and broke all their teeth out.

Oz: So not funny.

Willow: (feels to see if her teeth are still perfectly in line)

NoV: Sorry. Back to the ficcie.



**



"Oz?" Willow said softly, her head resting uncomfortably against the side of the ambulance.

"Yes?" he replied, glancing at her.

"What were you gonna tell me?" she wondered, leaning on her knees further. "I mean, before we crashed?"

Oz looked at her strangely, and then a look of recollection crossed his features.

"Oh, yeah." He smiled at his girlfriend. "I was just gonna tell you that you're beautiful and I love you."

Willow grinned, blushing deeply. "Thank-you," she managed to squeak.

Oz smiled again slightly and closed his eyes.

Willow sighed and slumped in her position. Soon they would be at the hospital. Soon everything would be oh-kay. Little did she know..



**



Medicines. Needles. Various instruments. Gloves. Hand sanitizer. Bandages. Sinks. White rooms, walls, and floors.

Hospital.

Willow, very ready and prepared to pass out in the chair she was plopped in, had to force herself to stay awake. Oz needed her. She was sure of it.

She watched as the nurses hooked him up to the I.V. and other machinery.

Willow's vision was starting to get very blurry. A painting on the wall began to swirl around, spiraling. She felt extremely nauseous, and as if she couldn't breathe in the small room.

She saw a nurse hovering in front of her saying something or other, and then she saw no more.



**



Luckily for Willow, the nurse caught her when she toppled over. The nurse found a sticky substance all over the red-haired girl's shirt.

She shouted, "Quick! We've got to get her into the E.R. STAT!!!"

A male nurse wheeled in a stretcher and the two of them lifted Willow onto it. She was soon down the hall and being treated.

Oz was alone. A dark shadow cast itself over the room.

NoV: Xan-Xan!

Xander: Yes, oh omnipotent one? (comes in)

NoV: You're gonna be in the story very soon. I need you.

Xander: (gasps) You need me!! (hops into her lap) At least you think I'm cute. (scribbles a 'plus 1' on an imaginary clipboard)

Nov: Well..I guess you're kinda cute..I think Oz is cuter...

Xander: WHAT!!

Willow: Now wait just a minute!

Oz: Hang on!

Spike: (all stare at him) I remain neutral.

Xander: (openly weeping) I can't believe you don't think I'm cute!!

NoV: I said you were kinda cute. I didn't say you were ugly..

Xander: ;_;

NoV: (sighs) Review if you want more.
