Disclaimer: I own nothing, except Sophie.

"Wanna know the really funny part?" Tara grinned.

"What?" Sophie giggled.

"That was exactly what Xander and Anya did.."

After making some quick preparations, Anya and Xander leapt out from behind the boulder, both dressed in full Hawaiian dancing get up, Xander carrying an apple in his mouth.

"Luau!" shouted Anya, beginning to sing and dance the hula, shaking makeshift maracas as the three vampires' attention turned to them.

Anya: If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat,

Eat my buddy Xander here because he is a treat,

Come on down and dine,

On this tasty guy,

All you've got to do is get in line!

Anya became increasingly nervous as the vamps approached, grinning evilly.

Are you achin'?

Xander pulled out the apple.

Xander: Yup, yup, yup!

Anya: For some human?

Xander: Yup, yup, yup!

Anya: He's a big boy!

Xander: Yup, yup!

Anya: You can be a big boy too, oy!

The pair screamed as the demons gave chase, and Anya jumped on Xander's back.

"We could have both run a lot faster if you'd just run by yourself!" Xander panted as he ran.

"No time to dwell on that now!" cried Anya. "Just run man, run!"

Meanwhile, Willow and Tara had taken advantage of the distraction caused by their friends and crept closer to Sunny Rock, climbing part of the way up it.

"Tara" said Willow, turning to the blonde, "You go find my mother and rally the others, I'll look for Wilkins."

"Okay. But before you go.." Tara pulled Willow into a kiss, then let their foreheads rest against each other for a moment after they had parted. "Good luck, and be careful."

"I will" Willow smiled.

Willow reached the cave at the top of Sunny Rock, hiding just outside when she heard Wilkin's sudden yell.

"JENNY!" the 'King' roared. Willow watched helplessly as her mother made her way up the rock and entered the cave, surrounded by the snarling vampires.

"Yes, Wilkins?" she asked.

"Where is your hunting party?" said Wilkins. "They're not doing their job."

"There's no food" said Jenny.

"You're just not looking hard enough!" Wilkins growled.

"It's over, Wilkins" said Jenny. "There's nothing left. Our only choice is to leave Sunny Rock."

"Never!" Wilkins snarled.

"Then you have sentenced us all to death!" Jenny yelled.

"So be it!"

"You can't do that!"

"I am the King!" Wilkins snapped. "I can do whatever I want!"

"If you were half the King that Giles was you never.." Jenny never had a chance to finish her sentence before Wilkins smacked her across the face, knocking her to the ground.

"I'm ten times the King that Giles was!" he growled. Willow had seen enough. She leapt onto the ledge outside the cave with a scream of anger. The darkness, combined with a single flash of lightning, made Wilkins temporarily confused her with somebody else. "Giles?" he cried, backing away. "It can't be, you're dead!" Willow ignored him for the moment, running into the cave and dropping to her knees at her mother's side.

"Giles?" Jenny mumbled, still a little dazed.

"No, Mom" Willow whispered, gently stroking her mother's cheek. "It's me."

"Willow, you're alive? But how?"

"That doesn't matter now. I'm home." Willow then stood and turned angrily to her uncle.

"Willow, dear!" Wilkins chuckled nervously. "I'm uh, a little surprised to see you.." he turned and glared at Darla, Spike, and Dru, who gulped and shrank away into the shadows. "..Alive."

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tear you apart" Willow growled.

"Oh Willow, you must understand" said Wilkins. "The pressures of running a Kingdom.."

"Are no longer yours" said Willow coldly. "Step down, Wilkins."

"Oh, well I would, really" said Wilkins, gesturing to the vampires all around the cave, "But you see they think that I'm the King."

"Well, we don't!" cried Tara, appearing at the back of the cave with her mother and the rest of Giles' subjects in tow. "Willow is the rightful Queen."

"You have two choices, Wilkins" said Willow. "Either step down or fight."

"Oh, must it all end in violence?" said Wilkins with an evil grin. "After all, I'd just hate to be responsible for the death of another family member, wouldn't you?"

"That won't work, Wilkins" said Willow, trying to stand her ground. "I've put it behind me."

"Ah, but what about your loyal subjects?" asked Wilkins. "Have they put it behind them?"

"Willow, what's he talking about?" Tara frowned.

"So you haven't told them your little secret" Wilkins smirked. "Well, now's your chance. Tell them, Willow. Tell them who is responsible for Giles' death!"

"I am" said Willow, head bowed.

"It's not true!" Jenny shook her head, tears filling her eyes. "Tell me it's not true!"

"It's true" said Willow sadly.

"See, she admits it!" Wilkins yelled. "Murderer!"

"No, it was an accident!" Willow cried.

"If it wasn't for you, Giles would still be alive!" Wilkins spat. He was slowly backing his niece towards the edge of Sunny Rock. "It's your fault he's dead! Do you deny it?"

"No.."

"Then you're guilty!"

"I'm not a murderer!" Willow cried.

"Oh, Willow you're in trouble again, but this time your Daddy isn't here to save you" Wilkins taunted. "And now, everybody knows why!" He lashed out at Willow, who slipped over the edge of Sunny Rock, only just managing to grab hold as she fell. A bolt of lightning cracked through the sky, setting fire to the dry grass below.

"Willow!" Tara cried.

"Well, now this looks familiar" Wilkins smirked as Willow struggled to retain her grip. "Hmm, where have I seen it before? Ah yes, now I remember. This is exactly how your father looked before he died. And here's my little secret.." he leant closer to Willow, grabbing her by the collar and whispering into her ear. "I killed him." Willow let out a scream of anger, and, finding new strength, leapt back up onto the rock, pinning a shocked Wilkins to the ground.

"MURDERER!" she roared.

"Yay!" Sophie cheered. "Go Willow!"
