Title: Flicker A/N: Michamon: At the beginning of S6, when they were talking about the spell, I thought that Tara shouldn't have gone along with it. She's smarter than that. Therefore, in my story, she didn't do the spell. She picked Giles up from the hospital in ch 13, Home. She didn't know anything about the spell, so now she distrusts Willow. Cool?

after that day no one mentioned Buffy's half awake statement

no one mentioned Willow's slip up

or that Giles was now living in our basement

no one mentioned anything because they were afraid

afraid that they would break this dream state we were all in

nothing changed

you'd think that after we knew about the Heaven thing things would get better

no more hiding

no more lying

but still it remained

like we were in a museum under glass perfectly preserved

until one night the glass broke and cut us all open for the others to see
