Chapter Two
Sara opened the door to see Zach and Brian; they each had guitar cases.
Zach's black hair was pointing in all directions while Brian's blonde hair
was looking perfect like it had last night. Sara was half in her pjs still,
she had jeans on and the shirt she'd sleep in last night. Her blonde hair
down and a little tangled. Then she noticed Ryan standing behind them. She
smiled because she liked Ryan. He had dark gray eyes and dark brown hair that
was spiked up like it was last night. He would look mysteriously gorgeous if
he wore black or gray that matched his eyes. "Come on in?"
"Are Liz's parents home?" Zach asked as they followed Sara up the stairs.
"Nope the parentals are in Miami till next Sunday." Sara replied.
"So you guys are home by yourselves for a whole week?" Ryan asked.
"Yep and maybe a little more then a week too. The parentals really trust Liz
and I for some odd reason."
"Lucky. My parents are always on my case but thank god their jobs require
them to travel a lot." Brian said as they walked into the "weird" room.
"So what am I singing to night?" Sara sat in her computer chair.
"We don't know Liz has the songs." Brian started getting his
guitar out.
"Where is Liz?" Zach leaned against the wall by the door.
"She's in the shower." Sara spun around in the chair a few times. There was
silence for a few minutes.
"So is all that slaying stuff real?" They all turned to Samo who was standing
in the doorway wearing black jeans and a bright green tee.
Sara nodded. "It's all true I'm a slayer, and a slayer is one girl in all the
world chosen to kill the vampires and demons according to Xander. And Xander
is my watcher."
"Do you guys know what he meant by Scoobs 2?" Samo sat down on the floor by
Sara's chair.
"Well he did say we was friends with another slayer maybe they had a few
close friends who knew about the slaying and called themselves the Scoobs."
Ryan said.
"That could be-" Bri started.
"Heys all." Liz said as she entered the room. Her rosy red hair was still wet
and in a braid. "What you talkin' about?" She went over and sat at her drum
set.
"What do you think Xan meant by Scoobs two?" Bri sat between Samo and Liz's
drum set.
"No clue."
"What songs am I singing?" Sara spun around again.
"These ones." Liz handed Sara about around 15 sheets of paper.
"This is it?" She looked through them.
"We're only playing for an hour and it's going to be early." Ryan said.
"Oks who all plays what in this band?" Sara was a little confused.
"I play drum if that isn't obvious." Liz said.
"I play lead guitar and I'm back up singer along with Liz sometimes." Brian
said his dark blue, but still blue eyes sparkled a little.
"I play bass and never sing." Zach said rubbing his dark brown, almost black
eyes.
"I play keyboard when needed." Ryan said.
"I find places and times and manage the money and stuff like that." Samo
looked at the ground with her dark green eyes.
"And I'm the singer now?" Sara asked.
"Yep!" The rest of the people in the room said.
"Kay." Sara looked at one of the papers. "I'm singing Hella Good!?!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"He looked just like he did the first time he tried to kill Buffy and when he
finally did." Xander was in the Magic Shop with Oz and Tara. Oz was sitting
at the table with Xander while Tara was working the counter.
"He's a vamp Xander they never age." Oz was looking through a guitar magazine.
"But do they have to look the same every time you see them?"
"Yes."
"Does he have a thing for blondes or just slayers?"
"Slayers."
"Why did he have to go after her the first time he saw her?"
"It was probably a luv at first site kinda thing."
"What?"
"He just knew he wanted to kill her right when he saw her. That's what I
mean. Do you see what I'm trying to say here?" Oz looked up for the magazine
to see Xanders reaction.
"That bastard." Xander was pissed.
"It's a maybe though." Oz looked back down.
"But still he's a bastard."
"Who's a bastard mate?" Xander and Oz moved to see Spike standing behind
Xander. Tara looked up from the book she was reading at the counter and
starting to walk behind Spike. "Well are one of you three going to answer my
question?" He turned and glanced at Tara when he said three.
"You're the bastard." Xander stood up so he was almost face to face with
Spike.
"I am aren't I." Spike smiled. "What did I do now? I don't remember sleeping
with anyone of your loved ones recently."
Xander punched Spike, Spike went flying into Tara and they both landed on the
ground. Spike was quicker then Tara. When he was up and pulled Tara up and
threw her at Xander. They both hit the table. Xander went unconcious. Tara
stood up and Oz put Xander on the table. Tara turned to look at Spike, when
she turned he was standing right in front of her. She gasped. "Well hello
little witch. How have you been doing?"
"Quite well thanks for asking leach boy."
"I always knew you weren't really a shy and quiet one." Spike smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just felt like killing another slayer and maybe finishing off the rest of
the original Scooby gang while I'm at it." He put a hand on her neck. "You're
feeling a little cold. Hope you aren't getting sick."
"I can give you a soul." She threatened.
"Are you sure you can?"
"Positive."
"Then why haven't you?" He traced her pulse.
"Maybe I didn't think it was necessary."
"And you do now?"
"If you attack my loved ones or-"
"Which are very few now a days aren't they."
"The list's getting bigger and if you ever some near any of those children
again."
"You mean the new slayer and her red headed friend?"
"And the rest of them."
"There's more now?"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"You're right I do but what if were to drain you right now?" He leaned
towards he neck.
"I'd shove the stake that's by your heart right now before you could finish
me." Spike looked down and saw that she was holding a stake right at his
heart.
"You were planning to kill me the moment you saw me in here weren't you?"
"Maybe."
"That shows you've learned things over the years, mouse."
"Am I really still a mouse?"
"No you've turned into a bunny. Still cute and fluffy and innocent looking
but sharper teeth."
"Are you going to leave now?" She asked annoyed.
"First you move the stake."
"Just step towards the door still facing me."
"Good idea bunny." He did just what she said never taking his off her or the
stake. Once he was out the door he disappeared into the darkness of the
night. Tara turned around just as Xander came to; Oz was sitting in the chair
mouth hanging open. Tara noticed this.
"What is it Oz?" Tara took a seat next to him.
"You just stood up to Spike."
"So?"
"Spike evil dude who is planning on killing Sara and probably everyone she
loves for fun the Spike that was planning to that to Buffy and killed Buffy
and Willow and sent demons after the rest of us."
"Go Tara!" Xander said happily but not
"He's right though." Oz said quietly probably hoping no one would notice.
"About what?" Xander asked a little confused.
"Tara isn't a mouse she is more of a rabbit now." Oz explained still quietly.
"Got that right." Xander mumbled.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"That was so fun." Sara almost shouted as her, Liz, Zach, Brian, Samo, and
Ryan walked out of the Bronze. They had all there stuff in Ryan's van.
And were now walking the streets near the Bronze.
"I'm guessing you liked the way the crowd was screaming we want more, we want
more when we started packing up and the DJ started setting his stuff up?" Liz
was walking in between Zach and Brian behind Sara and Samo.
"I loved it." Sara shouted.
"Haven't you ever sang in front of people?" Ryan asked catching up to where
Sara was walking.
"Nope just Liz and some of my family back in Manchester." Sara answered
putting an arm around Ryan. He put an arm around her.
"But she always showed everyone her writings." Liz smiled.
"You write too?" Samo asked.
"Yeah." Sara glanced at her.
"Wow!" Ryan was staring at Sara.
"Amazing person you're turning out to be slayer!" The whole gang stopped and
turned to see Spike leaning against a tree with a cigarette in his mouth.
"You sing and write and slay, I'm impressed. I think you're the most talented
slayer I've ever meat." Sara and Ryan moved in front of the rest of the
group. "So is Rosy your sister or what?"
"Who's Rosy?" Sara pulled out a stake making sure Spike could see it.
"The red head behind you."
"That's none of your dame business." Zach hissed.
"Oh the rose has a knight and shinning armor. Where's your knight slayer?"
Spike took a few steps toward the gang.
"I don't have one and I don't think my cuz needs one."
"Rosy is your cousin." He looked like he was deep in though for a moment then
he smiled evilly. "Want me to be your knight and shinning armor slayer. I'll
sweep you off your feet but I might accidentally break you neck in the
process." He started laughing.
Liz was getting angrier and angrier by the second. She finally snapped when
Spike said he might accidentally break Sara's neck. She walked right up to
him and gave him the best right hock she had.
He stumbled back a few feet. Sara and Ryan gasped when they saw three small
bloody holes under Spike's right eye. Spike felt the holes. "What the hell was that?"
Liz held up her hand she had three blue spiked rings on. She smiled
satisfied. "I like spikes on my jewelry."
Spike lunged at her but Sara was in front of her cousin before Spike reached
her. Sara punched Spike right in the nose. Samo screamed. There were five
vamps sounding them. Zach pulled out a sword from his long coat. Sara threw
stakes to Ryan, Brian and Samo. Three lunged at Sara she sidestepped two of
them, and one got her on the ground. Samo and Brian were fighting one. Zach
chopped off two of their heads as they came at him. Liz jumped on the vamp
that had Sara pinned to the ground. She started clawing at him scratching him
many times. He finally stood up with Liz on his back forgetting about Sara.
Sara staked him when he didn't see her coming. He turned to dust making Liz
fall on her butt. Ryan was trying to fight one but was loosing horribly. Sara
saw this and staked the one that almost had Ryan quickly. Samo and Brian had
beaten the one they were fighting.
"Well now I no you six can handle things when you're together but well see
what happens when you're by yourselves." Spike said and disappeared into the
night like he did the day before.
"I don't like him that much." Liz said as Brian helped her to her feet.
"You like a little?" Samo asked. The gang turned to look at Liz confused.
"Yeah a little." Liz replied.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Xander smiled as Sara told him about Saturday night. She really was going to
change his home. He was sitting on one side of the table and she was on the
other. "And then she said she liked him a little. I still don't see why Liz
can always like something about everyone." Sara finished.
"I think every person in the world has something likable about them that I'd
like." Liz said as she and Zach entered the library.
"So Xan did Sara tell you about Saturday night?" Zach asked as he took a seat
next to Xander. Liz jumped up and sat on the table and put her feet in the
chair next to Sara.
"Yeah she told me you guys kicked butt." Xander leaned back in his chair a
little.
"We kicked vamp ass if you wanna get picky." Liz pulled out a piece of gum
and threw it in her mouth.
"Well some of us aren't as picky as you Liz and give me a piece." Sara held
out her hand, Liz put a piece of gum in it.
"It's good to be picky when it come to killing demons maybe not vampires but
definitely demons." Xander said.
"Why?" Sara asked putting the gum in her mouth.
"Sometimes if you don't kill a demon right he won't die if that ain't obvious
and he might he might get stronger in some way."
"Oh!"
"Are all demons he's cause you keep saying he when it comes to demons?' Liz
asked.
"No I've just meat more he-demons then she-demons." Xander answered.
"Shouldn't you three be in class?"
"We've got band/choir. Oz let us out for today." Zach explained. "He said all
of us could go but Samo and Brian decided to stay."
"Five?"
"Ryan isn't in band/choir." Sara told him.
"Oh! Do any of you no what a werewolf is?" Xander asked.
"No!"
"No!"
"Werewolf like little red riding hood werewolf?" Zach asked.
"Yeah sorta." Xander said. "They're wolves that are people I'm sure all of
you have heard wolf stories."
"Yeah on a full moon some people turn into wolfs." Sara said.
"Right. It's all true."
"I always wondered why the was more "dog" howling on full moons." Liz said.
"Well the reason I'm telling you this is because of two things. One I don't
want Sara to kill a wolf if she sees one and two because Oz is one."
"What?" Zach yelled.
"Yeahs I expected that."
"Are you serious?" Zach asked.
"Very."
"So he turns all hairy on full moons and howls at the moon and goes around
killing people." Liz said.
"Pretty much expect he doesn't kill people because he has a cage in the Magic
Shop basement that he goes in during full moon's." Xander explained putting
his shoulders on the table.
"Oh!" Zach and Sara said.
"Where's the Magic Shop?" Liz asked.
Xander got up went into his office for a minute or less and came back with a
piece of paper with an address on it. "Here's the address." Liz took the
paper and put it in her back pocket. "Why'd you wanna know?"
"I'm gonna go over there after school and check it out." Liz started. "I
always wanted to learn about magic but was told it wasn't real. And if my cuz
is a slayer and my band teacher is a werewolf and vampires and demons are
real then magic's got it be."
"It is real. Tara's a Wicca." Xander sat back down.
"Cools! Think she could show me some spells?" Liz asked excitedly.
"She will trust me but if you turn out to be good at magic don't do any dark
stuff. You'll get the same thing from Tara and Oz." Xander said.
"Don't worry I didn't plan on using the dark arts for anything."
"No one plans to." Xander mumbled quietly.
"What?" Sara asked knowing Xander said something.
"Nothing."
"Liar." Sara said a little annoyed.
"You point?" Xander asked a little angry.
"No need to fight people we're all friends, watchers, and cousins here." Liz
could tell Xander was getting angry and Sara was annoyed.
"Very funny Liz." Zach said.
"I no I'm just the just the funniest person in the world aren't I."
"Let me think about that...no you aren't."
"Your real nice."
"Aren't I?"
"Liz didn't you just say there was no need to fight?" Sara asked.
"Yes but arguing and fighting are to different things." Liz answered.
"Plus arguing's fun." Zach said. Zach and Liz were staring at each other
neither of them was blinking. Sara and Xander saw this and were silent till.
"I win!" Zach said happily.
"It's a first too." Liz smiled.
"Sore loser."
"Only sometimes and what's your point?"
Did Liz her sorta shy cousin flirt like this all the time, Sara wondered. "Ok
both of you two break it up or I'll start kicking butt."
"Oks, oks." Liz looked away from Zach.
"Thank you. Xander what do you know about Spike?" Sara looked at Xander.
He looked at her. "To much."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Well can you use some of it to help me kill him. He's
getting annoying quickly."
"Yeah sure. Sara meet back here after school you need to start training."
Xander got up and went into his office and locked the door behind him. He sat
down and pulled out a picture of his first collage Halloween. He was in a
tusk, Anya in her bunny costume; Buffy looked so innocent as Red Riding Hood,
Oz barley smiling, and Willow smiling as widley as she could as Giles took the picture
years ago. Him and Oz were what were left of them. He wished, hoped, and
prayed Spike didn't get Sara like he did Buffy and the rest of them. A tear
slid down his check. He whipped it quickly but silently cried his heart out.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Liz walked into the empty Magic Shop with her bag on her left shoulder. "Is
anyone here?" She shouted.
"I'm in the back." Tara yelled. Liz walked into the back slowly looking at
everything in the Magic Shop with excited eyes. She saw Tara in the back room
going through a box that said Soul on it in black marker.
"Need help?" Tara looked up and smiled. She knew the red head was a witch
just by looking at her. Only probably didn't know the power she had.
Sara opened the door to see Zach and Brian; they each had guitar cases.
Zach's black hair was pointing in all directions while Brian's blonde hair
was looking perfect like it had last night. Sara was half in her pjs still,
she had jeans on and the shirt she'd sleep in last night. Her blonde hair
down and a little tangled. Then she noticed Ryan standing behind them. She
smiled because she liked Ryan. He had dark gray eyes and dark brown hair that
was spiked up like it was last night. He would look mysteriously gorgeous if
he wore black or gray that matched his eyes. "Come on in?"
"Are Liz's parents home?" Zach asked as they followed Sara up the stairs.
"Nope the parentals are in Miami till next Sunday." Sara replied.
"So you guys are home by yourselves for a whole week?" Ryan asked.
"Yep and maybe a little more then a week too. The parentals really trust Liz
and I for some odd reason."
"Lucky. My parents are always on my case but thank god their jobs require
them to travel a lot." Brian said as they walked into the "weird" room.
"So what am I singing to night?" Sara sat in her computer chair.

"Where is Liz?" Zach leaned against the wall by the door.
"She's in the shower." Sara spun around in the chair a few times. There was

"So is all that slaying stuff real?" They all turned to Samo who was standing

Sara nodded. "It's all true I'm a slayer, and a slayer is one girl in all the

"Do you guys know what he meant by Scoobs 2?" Samo sat down on the floor by

Ryan said.

"No clue."

"These ones." Liz handed Sara about around 15 sheets of paper.

"I play drum if that isn't obvious." Liz said.
"I play lead guitar and I'm back up singer along with Liz sometimes." Brian
said his dark blue, but still blue eyes sparkled a little.
"I play bass and never sing." Zach said rubbing his dark brown, almost black
eyes.
"I play keyboard when needed." Ryan said.
"I find places and times and manage the money and stuff like that." Samo
looked at the ground with her dark green eyes.
"And I'm the singer now?" Sara asked.
"Yep!" The rest of the people in the room said.
"Kay." Sara looked at one of the papers. "I'm singing Hella Good!?!"
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"He looked just like he did the first time he tried to kill Buffy and when he
finally did." Xander was in the Magic Shop with Oz and Tara. Oz was sitting
at the table with Xander while Tara was working the counter.
"He's a vamp Xander they never age." Oz was looking through a guitar magazine.
"But do they have to look the same every time you see them?"
"Yes."
"Does he have a thing for blondes or just slayers?"
"Slayers."
"Why did he have to go after her the first time he saw her?"
"It was probably a luv at first site kinda thing."
"What?"
"He just knew he wanted to kill her right when he saw her. That's what I

to see Xanders reaction.
"That bastard." Xander was pissed.

"But still he's a bastard."
"Who's a bastard mate?" Xander and Oz moved to see Spike standing behind
Xander. Tara looked up from the book she was reading at the counter and
starting to walk behind Spike. "Well are one of you three going to answer my

"You're the bastard." Xander stood up so he was almost face to face with
Spike.
"I am aren't I." Spike smiled. "What did I do now? I don't remember sleeping

"Just step towards the door still facing me."

"So?"
"Spike evil dude who is planning on killing Sara and probably everyone she

"Go Tara!" Xander said happily but not
"He's right though." Oz said quietly probably hoping no one would notice.
"About what?" Xander asked a little confused.
"Tara isn't a mouse she is more of a rabbit now." Oz explained still quietly.
"Got that right." Xander mumbled.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"That was so fun." Sara almost shouted as her, Liz, Zach, Brian, Samo, and
Ryan walked out of the Bronze. They had all there stuff in Ryan's van.
And were now walking the streets near the Bronze.
"I'm guessing you liked the way the crowd was screaming we want more, we want

"Who's Rosy?" Sara pulled out a stake making sure Spike could see it.
"The red head behind you."
"That's none of your dame business." Zach hissed.
"Oh the rose has a knight and shinning armor. Where's your knight slayer?"
Spike took a few steps toward the gang.
"I don't have one and I don't think my cuz needs one."
"Rosy is your cousin." He looked like he was deep in though for a moment then
he smiled evilly. "Want me to be your knight and shinning armor slayer. I'll

"I don't like him that much." Liz said as Brian helped her to her feet.
"You like a little?" Samo asked. The gang turned to look at Liz confused.
"Yeah a little." Liz replied.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Xander smiled as Sara told him about Saturday night. She really was going to
change his home. He was sitting on one side of the table and she was on the
other. "And then she said she liked him a little. I still don't see why Liz
can always like something about everyone." Sara finished.
"I think every person in the world has something likable about them that I'd

"So Xan did Sara tell you about Saturday night?" Zach asked as he took a seat
next to Xander. Liz jumped up and sat on the table and put her feet in the
chair next to Sara.
"Yeah she told me you guys kicked butt." Xander leaned back in his chair a
little.
"We kicked vamp ass if you wanna get picky." Liz pulled out a piece of gum
and threw it in her mouth.
"Well some of us aren't as picky as you Liz and give me a piece." Sara held
out her hand, Liz put a piece of gum in it.
"It's good to be picky when it come to killing demons maybe not vampires but
definitely demons." Xander said.
"Why?" Sara asked putting the gum in her mouth.
"Sometimes if you don't kill a demon right he won't die if that ain't obvious
and he might he might get stronger in some way."
"Oh!"
"Are all demons he's cause you keep saying he when it comes to demons?' Liz
asked.
"No I've just meat more he-demons then she-demons." Xander answered.
"Shouldn't you three be in class?"
"We've got band/choir. Oz let us out for today." Zach explained. "He said all
of us could go but Samo and Brian decided to stay."
"Five?"
"Ryan isn't in band/choir." Sara told him.
"Oh! Do any of you no what a werewolf is?" Xander asked.
"No!"
"No!"
"Werewolf like little red riding hood werewolf?" Zach asked.
"Yeah sorta." Xander said. "They're wolves that are people I'm sure all of
you have heard wolf stories."
"Yeah on a full moon some people turn into wolfs." Sara said.
"Right. It's all true."
"I always wondered why the was more "dog" howling on full moons." Liz said.
"Well the reason I'm telling you this is because of two things. One I don't
want Sara to kill a wolf if she sees one and two because Oz is one."
"What?" Zach yelled.
"Yeahs I expected that."
"Are you serious?" Zach asked.
"Very."
"So he turns all hairy on full moons and howls at the moon and goes around
killing people." Liz said.
"Pretty much expect he doesn't kill people because he has a cage in the Magic
Shop basement that he goes in during full moon's." Xander explained putting
his shoulders on the table.
"Oh!" Zach and Sara said.
"Where's the Magic Shop?" Liz asked.
Xander got up went into his office for a minute or less and came back with a
piece of paper with an address on it. "Here's the address." Liz took the
paper and put it in her back pocket. "Why'd you wanna know?"
"I'm gonna go over there after school and check it out." Liz started. "I
always wanted to learn about magic but was told it wasn't real. And if my cuz
is a slayer and my band teacher is a werewolf and vampires and demons are
real then magic's got it be."
"It is real. Tara's a Wicca." Xander sat back down.
"Cools! Think she could show me some spells?" Liz asked excitedly.
"She will trust me but if you turn out to be good at magic don't do any dark
stuff. You'll get the same thing from Tara and Oz." Xander said.
"Don't worry I didn't plan on using the dark arts for anything."
"No one plans to." Xander mumbled quietly.
"What?" Sara asked knowing Xander said something.
"Nothing."
"Liar." Sara said a little annoyed.
"You point?" Xander asked a little angry.
"No need to fight people we're all friends, watchers, and cousins here." Liz
could tell Xander was getting angry and Sara was annoyed.
"Very funny Liz." Zach said.
"I no I'm just the just the funniest person in the world aren't I."
"Let me think about that...no you aren't."
"Your real nice."
"Aren't I?"
"Liz didn't you just say there was no need to fight?" Sara asked.
"Yes but arguing and fighting are to different things." Liz answered.
"Plus arguing's fun." Zach said. Zach and Liz were staring at each other
neither of them was blinking. Sara and Xander saw this and were silent till.
"I win!" Zach said happily.
"It's a first too." Liz smiled.
"Sore loser."
"Only sometimes and what's your point?"
Did Liz her sorta shy cousin flirt like this all the time, Sara wondered. "Ok
both of you two break it up or I'll start kicking butt."
"Oks, oks." Liz looked away from Zach.
"Thank you. Xander what do you know about Spike?" Sara looked at Xander.
He looked at her. "To much."
Sara rolled her eyes. "Well can you use some of it to help me kill him. He's
getting annoying quickly."
"Yeah sure. Sara meet back here after school you need to start training."
Xander got up and went into his office and locked the door behind him. He sat
down and pulled out a picture of his first collage Halloween. He was in a
tusk, Anya in her bunny costume; Buffy looked so innocent as Red Riding Hood,
Oz barley smiling, and Willow smiling as widley as she could as Giles took the picture
years ago. Him and Oz were what were left of them. He wished, hoped, and
prayed Spike didn't get Sara like he did Buffy and the rest of them. A tear
slid down his check. He whipped it quickly but silently cried his heart out.

Liz walked into the empty Magic Shop with her bag on her left shoulder. "Is
anyone here?" She shouted.
"I'm in the back." Tara yelled. Liz walked into the back slowly looking at
everything in the Magic Shop with excited eyes. She saw Tara in the back room
going through a box that said Soul on it in black marker.
"Need help?" Tara looked up and smiled. She knew the red head was a witch
just by looking at her. Only probably didn't know the power she had.
