Chapter 46: Smashed

Summers' house

Faith was asleep, which to Willow was a good thing, because she had been meaning to try something. Tara, when her and Willow were together had found this spell that might be able to turn Amy, their pet rat, back into Amy the person. They had never gotten around to trying it and Willow felt bad because she knew he friend didn't want to be a rat anymore.

So since Faith was sleeping she figured why not give it a shot, what's the worst that could happen? As she looked at the spell before her she wondered why she hadn't tried this before, why she had waited so long? Shouldn't she have been in a hurry to get her friend back? Willow took a deep breath and then began reading from the brownish piece of paper that she now held in her hand.

As she read the spell aloud, but low enough so Faith wouldn't hear, she could feel this power go through her, something that she had never felt before. That's how she knew it was working. When she looked up from the paper and at rat Amy who was sitting on the floor, this color started to engulf her. And before Willow knew what was happening before he sat Amy, human Amy, completely naked.

Willow smiled at her accomplishment. Now before her sat Amy, her friend since High School, someone that she can once again practice magic with, without the worries of getting attached. Amy wasn't gay, so her and Faith's relationship was safe. "Amy?" Willow asked as she noticed Amy looking around as if she was scared of something, like something was trying to get to her.

That's when Amy set a glare on Willow; the glare didn't wavier when Amy said her name. "Willow?" Amy had said that a little to loud for Willow's liking so she looked over at the bed as Faith began to stir. Yet luckily she just rolled over. "How's that?" Amy asked quitter this time.

"My girlfriend," Willow said. That's one thing she never thought she would hear herself say about Faith. Amy's eyes went wide and Willow couldn't help but laugh. "If you think this is shocking you should see whom Buffy's dating now," she said with a smirk and as if on cue Willow heard the front door open. "Quick get into the bathroom," Willow said. Once the bathroom door closed Faith woke up. "Hey sleepy head," Willow said kissing her away.

"How's here?" Faith asked instantly in defense mode.

"I think Buffy and Cordelia just got home from L.A," Willow said and Faith was up out of bed and on her way downstairs. Willow went over to the bathroom and opened the door. "There is some clothes for you to change into," Willow said and before she could close the door Amy stopped her.

"Cordelia lives here?" she asked. Willow just smiled and closed the door.

Buffy closed the front door behind her and then set the bags on the floor. "You know just because I have slayer strength doesn't mean I get to carry your things," Buffy said as she stood up straight stretching out her back. "What did you pack anyway?" she asked her wife as Cordelia shrugged and went into the kitchen. Buffy followed.

They walked into the kitchen and saw Dawn making breakfast. "Your up early," Cordelia said taking a seat at the island.

"Couldn't sleep," Dawn said as she placed some pancakes on her plate. "You guys are home a day late…why?" she asked as she sat down next to Cordelia.

"Someone had to go shopping," Buffy said looking over at Cordelia and she just smirked and blew Buffy a kiss. "Anyway, anything new been going on?" she asked.

"Nope all's cool on the home front." Dawn said as she looked at her sister. "Although Spike hasn't been around much which makes me wonder what he's been up to," Dawn said as she stuffed some pancake into her mouth.

"Huh," Buffy said as she looked over at Cordelia. Buffy before she could voice her opinion Willow came walking into the kitchen. "Hey Will," Buffy said as she looked at her friend who had a big grin on her face. "At least some people got lucky last night," Buffy said as she ignored the looked Cordelia was giving her.

"Whatever Buffy," Willow said as she rolled her eyes. "You have been hanging around Faith too long," she said.

"That hurts baby," Faith said as she walked into the kitchen and placed a kiss on Willow's cheek. "I think me and B haven't spent enough time together because she is always running off to L.A.," Faith said as she raised her eyebrows at her sister slayer.

"Like that bothers you, you get the run of the town for a week, so I doubt you care," Cordelia said as she got up from where she was sitting and went over to the fridge to get something to drink.

Buffy couldn't help the little laugh that came from her lips and Faith punched her. "Ow," Buffy said as she rubbed her eyebrow. "But you have to admit she has a point," Buffy said. "For a whole week you don't have to worry about me looking over you shoulder, which makes me wonder what do you do when I'm gone," Buffy asked.

"You mean besides Red?" Faith asked and that rewarded her a punch from Willow. Faith laughed as she looked at Buffy. "Wouldn't you like to know," Faith said as she grabbed one of Dawn's pancakes.

"Actually I wouldn't," Buffy said as she got up from her chair. "I'm going to go shower and then I have to go to work," Buffy said.

"Want some company?" Faith asked and this time she got a punch from both Willow and Cordelia. "Guess not," Faith said as she rubbed her shoulder and winked at Buffy.

Buffy just shuck her head and made her way upstairs. Once she hit the top step she got this strange feeling that someone else was up here, someone that was unfamiliar. Buffy continued on her way, when she entered the bathroom she saw someone standing in front of the mirror.

"Amy?" she asked.

Amy turned around and looked at Buffy. "Buffy," she said. "How you been?" she asked her one time friend.

"Dead…you?" Buffy asked.

"Rat," Amy answered in the same tone Buffy did. "Did you need to use the bathroom?" Amy asked and Buffy nodded not trusting her mouth to form words just yet. "Okay I'll go downstairs with Willow," Amy said, as she existed the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Downstairs Cordelia was making something to eat for herself and Faith. Willow said she wasn't hungry and Dawn had already made something for herself. They were all sitting around the island when Amy walked in, and everyone grew silent.

"Faith do you want pancakes or…" Cordelia said turning around and seeing Amy standing there. "Oh my God Amy," Cordelia said. "When did you get de-rated?" Cordelia asked as she looked at Willow and then back at Amy.

"This morning," Amy said. "You're the women from Willow's bedroom," Amy said pointing to Faith.

"Yes, that's where I sleep," Faith said as she stood up. "Listen Cor, I'm not hungry anymore, I think I'm going to head over to work," Faith said as she made her way out of the kitchen.

Cordelia took a seat where Faith had been sitting only moments before. "So Amy are you planning on sticking around or…" Cordelia let her sentence trail off.

"I think I'm going to stick around," Amy said as she noticed something on Cordelia's finger. "Is that a wedding band?" Amy asked. "Cordelia…your married?" she asked.

"Yup, for a while now," Cordelia said with a smile.

"Who's the lucky man?" Amy asked.

"I am," Amy turned her head and saw Buffy come walking through the doorway. "Willow didn't tell you any of this?" Buffy asked looking at her friend. "Well she'll fill you, meanwhile some of us have to get to work," Buffy says she leaned over and gave Cordelia a kiss. "See ya," she said and then left.

"That's gonna take some getting used to," Amy said. "I thought Buffy died, how does she still have a job?" Amy asked confused.

"She told them she had some medical problems and Willow gave them a bunch of fake paperwork," Cordelia said. "Then they told her that she can only work every other week so she doesn't need to go into the hospital again for awhile. Therefore she helps Angel out in L.A on her week off." Cordelia explained.

"I see," Amy said with a nod of her head. She really didn't understand but she didn't want to have Cordelia go into more detail.

"Well guys I'm off to work," Cordelia said as she picked up her things. "Dawn you need a ride to school since your sister forgot to take you? You know sometimes I think she does that on purpose," Cordelia explained.

"Sure," Dawn said as she grabbed her things and her and Cordelia made their way out of the house.

"So Amy…what do you want to do today?" Willow asked and Amy smiled.

Sunnydale High

Buffy was sitting in her office, she didn't have her first appointment until ten so she had plenty of time to sit around and think, which was something she didn't like to do. Which much to her relief is when the phone rang.

"Okay is it just me or is having the Amy girl back a little weird?" the person asked on the other end of the phone.

"Is that jealousy in your voice that I hear Faith?" Buffy asked with a smirk, she had been waiting for this call.

"Shut up B and just answer the question," Faith said.

"Yeah it's a little weird." Buffy said as she began looking at the file of the first student she was going to see. She had two hours until the appointment. "I mean she's been a rat for so long," Buffy said.

"You know she's horny as all hell and Red's gonna be spending all this time with her trying to get her readapted to the world," Faith said and Buffy could just picture the look on her face.

"Faith Amy's not even like that," Buffy said trying to clam her nerves.

"Neither was I at one time, and neither were you until Queen C told you how she felt…hell neither was Red when she had wolf boy on her arms," Faith said.

"Willow loves you Faith, you have nothing to worry about. And if you act like you don't trust her than you'll ruin your relationship." Buffy said.

"I know but…"

"No buts," Buffy said. "Now get back to work, bye," Buffy said as she hung up the phone. As soon as she hung up the phone it rang again. "Hello," Buffy said.

"Buffy we need to talk about Amy," Cordelia said. Buffy rolled her eyes as she sat back in her chair and listened to her wife go on and on, after all what else could she do?

Spike's crypt (later that night)

He couldn't believe how much he needed her; he hasn't felt this way since Drusilla left him. Faith was on his mind twenty-four seven and it was driving him crazy. She was all he thought about and he had come up with about ten plans to steal her away from Willow but he knew that if he did that than she would never truly love him, he just needed to move on and he didn't know how.

That's when he heard a noise outside his crypt, thinking it was Faith he went running out the door and he collided with another girl, who wasn't Faith. "I'm sorry," he said as he helped her up and then he noticed that his chip didn't go off.

"It's okay," the girl said as she continued walking away not noticing the wicked smile that crept along his lips.

The Bronze

Amy and Willow had decided to go to the Bronze. Amy knowing Willow had classes had told her to meet her at the Bronze and she would go find her dad and tell him that she was in fact still alive.

On her way to the Bronze Amy had decided to cut through the cemetery, which was when she bumped into someone. She didn't realize it then but she could have very well bumped into a vampire and he didn't even kill her, instead he helped her up and said he was sorry.

After that she made sure to walk on the street where there was light and she could see everyone that could possibly come close to her. When she met Willow at the Bronze she was up on the second level, just looking down at everyone, Amy decided that it was time for the redhead to have a little fun.

"Hey Willow," Amy said as she made her way over to her.

"Amy hey, I was wondering when you were going to get here," Willow said as she looked at her long time friend that just happened to be a rat. Amy didn't say anything but with the flick of her wrist she changed the music. "What are you doing?"

"Having a little fun," Amy said as she changed everyone below her into people wearing Halloween customs. Willow flicked her wrist.

Some alleyway

Spike couldn't believe it his chip was finally gone, nothing to hold him back anymore when he needed to feed. No more pig's blood for this vampire. He was following a girl and she went into the alleyway, he always wondered why they went down alleyways when they thought they were being followed, he would never understand.

She looked back toward him and he ducked in a shadow, she had stopped walking so know was his chance. He darted out in front of her so when she turned around she jumped and gave a little scream.

"C-can I help you?" she asked and he could just smell the fear on her.

"As a matter of fact," he said and then his faced morphed. She screamed and he went in for the kill and the he screamed. He staggered back away from her holding his head and the girl took her chance and ran. "What the fuck?"

The Bronze

Amy looked over at Willow and she couldn't help but notice that she was growing tired, which made her magic fade.

"Willow I think I'm gonna head home, I kinda tired," she paused. "Maybe we can do this again tomorrow.

"Yeah I would love that," Willow said. "Plus I told Faith that I would met her and go on patrol with her tonight," Willow said as she and Amy made there way toward the exist. Once outside Willow looked at Amy. "You need me to walk you home?" she asked.

"No, I'm fine…see you tomorrow," Amy said as she made her way home. Willow watched until she couldn't see Amy anymore and then she head home to met Faith. Amy was walking along the building when she felt someone behind her. Someone that she had felt before in the cemetery.

When she turned around no one was standing there but when she turned around to continue walking the man, the vampire that she had bumped into earlier that night was standing in front of her. She didn't bother screaming because she knew that he would like that more than anything. Instead she hit him and tried running away.

She didn't get very far before he grabbed her by her hair and threw her up against the fence. "Where do you think your going?" he asked. He went in for the kill when she brought her knee up and kicked him in the groin. "Bitch," he said as he took her by the shoulder and threw her through a door of an abandoned building.

Amy got up slowly as she looked at him and that's when she remembered him. He was the vampire that gave Buffy all the trouble back in High School. Of course she didn't know the whole story, what with her being a rat and all.

He picked her up and slammed her against the wall, "Why can I hurt you?" he asked her. '

"I don't know," Amy said as she felt the back of her head to make she it wasn't bleeding. He slammed her again. "I said I didn't know!" Amy yelled.

"That doesn't mean I still don't want to kill you," he said. But as he went in for the kill she grabbed him chin and kissed him. This, in her mind, was the only way she was going to survive. "What are you doing?" he asked when he pulled away.

"Doing something I haven't done in a long time," she said as she kissed him again and this time it was her turn to run him into the wall, but instead of running for her life she kissed him again and she didn't know why. The next thing she knew she was being lifted up and against the wall, but this time it was a lot nicer then what she remembered it to be before.

Magic Box

They were all sitting in the Magic, well not quite all, Faith and Willow were on patrol and Spike was no where to be found. Buffy looked across the table to where Cordelia was sitting ready a book. Cordelia looked up at her and winked.

"Why are we even here?" Anya asked breaking the silence. "I mean we are never going to figure it out because it wasn't a demon," She continued on.

Earlier today there had been a robbery and the guard that was on duty was frozen. They where trying to find out if it was some new big bad that they needed to worry about. "Anya when have to look at all possibilities," Xander rationalized with his girlfriend.

"But I know it wasn't a demon, hell ex-demon right here," she said. "I know more about demons than Giles," she said as she looked at Buffy. "Trust me it's just some random robbery, with a toy to make it look other wise." Anya explained.

Buffy closed her book and looked at the group. "I believe her so what do you say we call it a night?" Buffy said as she got up and her and Cordelia practically ran back home.

Cemetery

Faith and Willow were walking in and out of the tombstones. Faith was debating brining up what she had talked about with Buffy earlier today or not. Buffy said it would ruin their relationship but Faith didn't think so, so she though what the hell.

"Willow I want to talk to you about Amy," Faith said stopping their walking.

Willow turned around and looked at her with a smile on her face. "Faith you don't have anything to worry about," Willow said. "Besides the fact that Amy's not like that I love you, no one else." She said.

"You love me?" Faith asked in a seductive tone. "Really?"

"Oh yeah," Willow said wrapping her arms around her slayer. "I guess I'll have to show you how much." Willow said as Faith brought her to the ground. "But not here," Willow said ruining the mode. "So what do you say we call it a night?" Willow asked and the two practically ran home.

Love was in the air in Sunnydale tonight.
