Hmmmmm. What can I say to you poor people who are actually foolish enough to try and make sense of my story? I think I'll say…. THANK YOU! And I must also apologize for not updating in so long. Horribly sorry.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Gone

Buffy glared out across the Vatican at the dark shadows that began to fill the courtyard. Then she glared at the Werewolf crouched beside her. Twirling a stake in boredom, she managed to wait a few seconds before asking him question.

"What are we doing here?"

Fae looked at her with intense green eyes, "We are here because the Vatican City is the perfect place for Balthazar to bring about Anaharath."

Buffy pursed her lips, "Why exactly is it perfect again?"

The black haired teen rolled his eyes. "Because, generally speaking, all Catholic cathedrals, monasteries, churches you name it, are strong magical convergences. The spell required to provoke Anaharath takes great power. He will need to borrow some and the easiest was to do so is to go to a magically powerful place and leech off it."

"The Vatican….?"

He sighed. "Because it is the 'capital' of the Catholics. The Pope lives here incase you didn't know."

"Oh."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Willow was arguing with Kennedy and a rather perturbed looking Oz was watching from a healthy distance when Dawn came home from school. The teenage girl took one look at the situation and barged right in the middle of it.

"What are you doing here?" She glared at Kennedy.

The older woman gaped at her for a moment. "Wha…?"

Willow grabbed Dawn's arm. "No, it's okay Dawnie."

Dawn glared at the witch. "Are you insane? It is so not okay. She treated you like garbage!"

Oz interrupted, "What are you talking about Dawn?"

Kennedy shot him a look of pure loathing. "Shut up wolf boy! This doesn't involve you!"

Dawn was really angry now. "Doesn't involve him? This is about Willow right? He loves Willow, so it does involve him!"

Willow looked panicky at that statement and glanced nervously at Oz. "Um, Dawnie…"

She ignored her. "You have a big mouth Kennedy. You always have. I didn't like the way you treated Will before you became a slayer and your attitude has so not improved since then. You are careless when it comes to other people's feelings.

Lets use what you didn't to Buffy as an example, shall we? You were heartless, cruel and so mean I don't have the words to describe it. I went along with you then, 'cause I was mad at her too. But Willow has done nothing wrong. You cannot treat her this way." She took a deep breath. "Get out."

Kennedy just stared at Dawn in open mouthed shock. That made Dawn even more upset.

"GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!" She shrieked at the slayer. A/N: Sound familiar?

Kennedy ran for it.

Dawn took another deep breath and turned to Oz. "I'm going to leave you two alone now. Make sure you get at least one good kiss in before she gets over the shock."

"But...What? I mean…" Willow sputtered as Dawn left the room.

Oz just smirked at her.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Faith watched in amusement as Xander tried to ward off the attacks of the young slayer he was sparing with. "Hey Xander!"

Her call was somewhat ill timed. He turned his head to look at her just as the young slayer swung her quarter staff. In result, Xander got smacked really hard on the head.

Still laughing at the look of surprise on Xander's face as he hit the floor, Faith went over to help him up. After waving off the offer of help from the younger girl she hauled Xander out to his car.

Dumping him in the passenger seat she jumped behind the wheel. After another delay of looking for the keys she decided to just hot wire it.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Buffy sighed. Fae looked at her and arched an eyebrow, "Bored?"

She nodded in reply. Then suddenly she spoke, "Do you love her?"

The young man's body went rigid. "What?"

"Dawn. Do you love Dawn?"

Green eyes met green. Buffy was shocked by the ice in his eyes and the coolness of his deep voice as he spoke.

"I have no choice in the matter. The wolf always chooses the mate. Why else would Oz not move on?" He saw the look on her face and the ice melted. "But yes. I do love her."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am so sorry guys, but this was as far as I could make it. Serious writers block. Any suggestions? Should I have Xander and Faith get together? Some more Oz/Willow? Fae/Dawn? Just hurry up and finish the fic? LOL. Personally I'm all for the last one, but I don't really know how to bring the ending about.
