Part 2 - The way

Buffy walked to the bus thinking if all that was true, she was still recovering from the idea that she had survived from the "not dying in the apocalypse again".

Everybody was sitting in the bus, Buffy started to talk with Faith.

"Did you see that?"

"See what B?"

"The light, that woman..."

Faith looked with a weird face at Buffy, as she was going crazy.

"You didn't..."

"No... what happened? Jesus! Are you ok?"

"Yeah..."

"B? Hello! What happen?"

"She... ah... she told me that I can make a wish for saving the world."

"She? Who she?"

"I... I don't know..." Buffy answered.

"Wow I don't think it matters right now do ya? But lucky you B, rock in this wish hum..."

"Yeah I have to think about that."

Buffy sat on the corner of the bus and started to think...

A wish wow... I can ask for whatever I want, but what do I want? What do I love? Angel, I could have him... and have a normal life with him... I love all my family... my sister, yeah my family who are my friends who are my family...MOM... mom... bringing her back would be really nice but what if she dies again the same way she did before... I don't want to go through that again, and Dawn? And my friends, I wanna do something that can make then happy, if it wasn't for then I wouldn't be here... Look at Willow.

Willow was sitting on a bank talking to Xander, she wasn't 100 happy and Buffy knew that, while she was talking to Xander, Kennedy was talking to the girls, she sounded like she was telling the girls how cool the fight was, she was doing all the movements and all...

Back to Buffy's thoughts...

Willow, she was so happy when she was with Tara, she was so devastated when she died...she's happier now that she found Kennedy, of course, not the same... Yeah Tara, that's a good idea, Willow's been my best friend since I've met her, she sacrificed a lot for me now I think it's time to do something for her, Tara is a great way... wait, bring a dead person to life... I've been there; I should talk to that woman... but mom.. no, she lived more than Tara, and she already got married, had 2 daughters, she already had a life, maybe it's time to bring someone who's young! And Angel would be so great but he's alive and oh... God that's one hell of a doubt But ok... he had lived a lot and we've been thought so much... what if it didn't work? And he can't... because he would... and... well... ok...Spike also lived a lot… it would be weird to bring a vampire to life again… What is safer? Tara? Yeah definitively! Willow loves her that's for sure, she is everything to her and she died in such a terrible way! I would like to give her a second chance! Ok… it's decided Tara! Yeah now... how can I call that..."

"Buffy... look!" Dawn said pointing out of the window.

"What? Uh? Dawn what is it?"

"We are almost there..."

"Where? Oh right... San Francisco..."

Wow, was I thinking all this time?

Willow was sitting in the bank and Buffy sat besides her.

"Hey." Buffy said in a sweet voice.

"Hi Buff." Willow stopped admiring outside and looked to Buffy.

"So... how are you... you know...after the whole mojo thing..." Buffy said making movements.

"Yeah, I'm great, just reallllllllly glad that nothing happened."

"Yeah that's a plus, so how are things with Kennedy?"

"Kennedy? Well she's ok I guess..." Willow said looking down.

Buffy's thoughts "She must be thinking about Tara! It's decided I'm going to bring her back!"

Willow looked at Buffy while Buffy smiled thinking of her GREAT idea.

"Hehe Buffy what are you thinking?" Willow realized the smile on Buffy and asked smiling also.

"What? Oh... I have to tell you something" Buffy sounded serious.

Willow had a curious look...

"What? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah actually it's more than ok...Do you know when I stayed looking at the hole... in Sunnydale, you guys were already in the bus...do you remember?"

"Yeaaahhh..."

"Well a woman appeared to me and she said that I can make any wish and she would make it come true..."

"Really! Oh Buffy I'm so happy for you... so..." Willow said excited.

"So..."

"What did you wish for?" Willow said very excited.

"I didn't say it yet but I was thinking of asking for sandals" Buffy didn't want to give anything away… she was having fun with all the mystery. "That one that I saw at the mall...you remember right?"

"SANDALS? Buffy you're kidding right?" Willow said not believing.

"Why? Don't you think that's a good idea?" Buffy said serious but inside she wanted to laugh so bad.

Willow looked confused.

"Hahahha Ok Will if it were you, if you could ask for anything, what would you ask for?" Buffy asked.

"Me? Well..." She knew what she wanted, but was that the right thing to ask? She was with Kennedy now. Seeing Sunnydale being destroyed, the only thing she could think it was that Tara's grave was gone too, her body was there.

Willow looked down again... she was almost crying...

"I don't know..." Willow said.

"Oh come on Will... anything... what would you ask?"

"Buffy, it hurts too much just to think what I could do if I had that power. That I could have that moment of happiness but when I open my eyes and it's not true, it hurts, so I prefer not to think about that, I'm sorry."

Willow got up and went to the girls.

Buffy leaned her head on the window of the bus and closed her eyes. She felt this energy coming to her and the woman appeared...

"You know already, don't you?" The lady said calmly.

"Yeah."

"Just say it."

"But... before, I want to know, if... how... would she..."

"She will be back as the same way she was, she will have all the memories, she's in heaven, she's fine, but she misses one person here on earth a lot, she can't see you but she knows that everybody is ok... she will have no damage at all, she will be just a little confused but I'm sure that will pass after some time. After you wish for, she will be waiting for you."

"Where?"

"You'll know."

"No I..."

"The same way you knew how to call me you'll know where to find her."

"But..."

"Are you ready to wish?"

"Where will she be?" Buffy asked concerned.

"You'll know... now... are you ready to wish?" Buffy saw that she would have to trust the lady so she started to make the wish.

"Yes... I wish that Tara was alive, back in our lives, back to Willow's life!"

"Your wish was accomplished"

A noise hit Buffy's head, so she covered her head with her arms and suddenly everything was as it used to be, everybody in the bus going to San Francisco.

Giles noticed that something was wrong so he went to Buffy...

"Giles... who's driving?" Buffy asked.

"Xander is driving, we're almost there anyway, are you ok?"

"I don't know... I guess..."

"What happened?" Giles asked sitting beside Buffy.

Buffy explained everything to Giles...

"Buffy, you know what you could have done to her? What about Willow? And Kennedy?" Giles said freaking out.

"I know! But look at her Giles, have you seen Willow as happy as she was with Tara? She's with Kennedy yeah, but she's not happy Giles, not the way she used to be, and I want to do something for her! I owe her that."

"Ah... ok... I hope you know what you are doing." Giles said cleaning his glasses.

"Yeah, I lived that, and I'm ok, so I'm sure Tara will be too."

"Yeah, wow…it will be great to see Tara again..."

"Imagine Giles... imagine when Willow sees her..." Buffy said with a smile.

"Yeah... it would be..."

"Magical..."

"Yeah..." Giles said thoughtful.
