Subject: BUFFYFIC: "The Cure" (4/14)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Buffy or any of the other wonderful characters in
the Buffyverse. I am using them without the permission of the people who
do own them who are not going to sue me because I am not making any money
off this. Joss Whedon, WB, Mutant Enemy, Kusui and Sandollar own the Buffy
characters.
DISTRIBUTION: Just ask.
RATING: Probably PG
FEEDBACK: I would love to know what you all think of this. Please send me
feedback. Pretty please. <sdouglas@camfordinfo.com>
SUMMARY: Okay, well this takes place while Ms. Calendar is still alive,
but Angel is evil, so probably Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. It's
another "Angel gets his soul back" story which I wrote to convince myself
that Angel could be good again. It's kind of long and I'm sorry about that
you all. Well, enough with the talk, on with the show.
AUTOR'S MESSAGE: Thanks for this part goes out to Jeanie for being so much
fun. Thanks also goes to Candy, just for being her evil self.
On with the show
The Cure (4/14)
Buffy locked the door of her house behind her and she and Willow started
walking back to school. They both had their arms crossed over their
chests, as if trying to protect themselves.
They walked together in silence. A cold breeze brushed them.
"I'm so glad the sun's still out," Willow said.
"Yeah, we know when the sun goes down, the scaries come out," Buffy
replied, quickly checking to make sure the stake she always carried with
her was there. Willow saw the motion and knowing that Buffy had a stake
comforted Willow.
Buffy was worried about Angel. <<I hate putting my friends in danger!>> she
thought. <<How can I protect them?>> she wondered. Buffy knew she couldn't
always be with them. <<I need to figure out a way for them to protect
themselves.>> Buffy thought over her options, she could try to teach them
some self-defence, but it would take a while to teach them enough to really
be able to protect themselves and until they were good any vampire would
still be stronger. Crosses were good, but any vampire would just knock it
out of their hands. <<If only we had something like pepper spray,>> Buffy
thought.
"That's it!" Buffy exclaimed. Willow turned to her.
"What's it?" Willow asked.
"Nothing Will. Ummm. . . are you okay to go the rest of the way to school
by yourself? There's something I've got to do," Buffy explained.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. There's still a few hours of sunlight," Willow
replied, looking at Buffy. Willow hesitated, then added, "Buffy? Just
promise you'll be quick."
"I promise, I'll be quick," Buffy smiled. She leaned over and gave Willow
a hug.
"And Buffy? Be careful."
****************
Willow felt a wave of relief as she reached the school. She walked toward
the library. She started to jog, she wanted to get there as quickly as
possible. Willow opened the door to the library and felt comfort in seeing
Xander and Giles.
"Willow," Giles said with relief, then added, "Where's Buffy?"
"I'm not sure. She said she had to do something, but she promised she'd be
here soon," Willow said. Oz came out from Giles' office. He saw Willow
and he gave her a hug.
"How are you doing?" Oz asked Willow.
"I'm okay," Willow replied. "Umm, Giles, can Angel come into the library?"
"Yes, I suppose he can come in here. Why?" Giles replied, looking a
little puzzled at the question.
"Well, when we're doing research here at night, lots of times Buffy's out
slaying. Angel could attack us then," Willow elaborated.
"Oh dear, I'd never thought of that. We need to find another base of
operation," Giles said.
"Okay, we need to find another HQ. My question is where?" Xander asked.
"We can work at my place," Oz volunteered.
"What about your parents?" Giles asked.
"Oh, no sweat. I'm in the basement, they won't even know."
Suddenly, the door opened. Everyone whipped around to face the door.
Buffy smiled at everyone and said:
"Look what I've got."
*******************
Jenny was cruising along the highway with a song in her heart. She was
almost at the place her tribe was camped. She saw the sign for her turn
and got off the highway. She took the turns to where they were camped.
She saw the camp right ahead of here. She turned of the ignition and got out.
<<Here goes nothing.>>

The Watcher (2/?)
by Jaclyn Amy
TITLE: The Watcher
AUTHOR: Jaclyn Amy@aol.com
RATING: PG/PG-13
SUMMARY: This takes place four years later while the Buffy gang is attending
Montague University near Sunnydale. AngelÆs soul has been permanently
restored, and he is 100% human. Jenny Calendar is still alive. Buffy will be
getting a new Watcher.
DISTRIBUTION: Ask me first.
DISCLAIMER: I own none of the characters from or the movie or show Buffy the
Vampire Slayer. They were created by Joss Wheden and are owned by 20th Century
Fox, Sandollar Television, Mutant Enemy, etc. No infringement intended.
FEEDBACK: Please be nice; IÆm still a newbie.

Willow nearly fainted at the news of her becoming Watcher. "ThereÆs got to be
some mistake. I, I canÆt be the Watcher! The Watcher is a guy, and a, a
bookworm, and someone who isnÆt me. IÆm too young, and IÆd be a horrible
Watcher. Pick someone else."
Giles said, "Willow, I canÆt pick someone else. You arenÆt to young, and even
thought there havenÆt been female Watchers in the past, it doesnÆt say that
there cannot be one. The Watcher must be twenty one years of age, and you
turned twenty one last week. With the proper training, youÆll be perfectly
ready."
Buffy sat in shock and thought. //This canÆt be happening. WillowÆs my
friend, not my Watcher. She canÆt be both; itÆs impossible. How can she train
me when she has not nearly as much strength and experience as Giles?//
*****
Giles didnÆt even let Willow have the rest of the day to adjust. He brought
her directly to the library to start training, for time was running out. They
worked on training techniques the whole day since that is what Willow needed
the most work on.
"Okay, Willow, I want you to attack me."
"Giles, I canÆt, I donÆt know how to fight."
"Just try."
Unconfidently, she started to attack. She threw a punch at him, which he
easily blocked. She tried kicking him, but he knocked her down onto the floor.
As her head hit the ground, a dreamlike state came over her. First, she was
teaching a medival Slayer how to read. Next, she was showing a African-
American slave Slayer new battle techniques. Then she was Merrick, watching
Buffy do cartwheels on a mat in HemeryÆs gym. Finally, she was KendraÆs
Watcher, telling her about a great evil happening in Sunnydale.
She woke up and jumped to her feet quickly. She kicked Giles in the gut and
sent him flying across the room. She punched him in the jaw and tripped him.
He fell over and just lay there.
"Omigod, Giles!" she cried. "IÆm so, so sorry. Are you okay?"
"Yes, IÆll, IÆll be fine. I see youÆve found the Watcher strength."
"The what?"
"Though Slayer has strength she is born with, the Watcher does not. He or she
must find the strength within themselves. Once discovered, you will not lose
it until you are no longer Watcher. Unfortunately, knowledge only comes from
reading the texts and diaries. You must study them day and night."
"Giles, what just happened to me now, something similar happened to me last
night in my dreams. I, I was the Watcher for several different Slayers."
"ThatÆs supposed to happen. Similar to the Slayer dreams. I want you to take
these home." He handed her five large books. "These are the first Watcher
diaries. I want you to read as much as you can tonight and tomarrow. WeÆre
late on your training. Thus, we must make up for lost time." Willow started to
leave. "Oh, and you are welcome to anything in here that you might need."
"Thank you, Gilesàfor everything."
*****
Brrrng. Brrrrng. Brrrng. "Come on, pick up the phone."
The answering machine went on. "You have reached Rupert Giles at 555-7529. I
am unable to answer the phone right now. Please leave your name, number and
message at the beep. I will get back to you as soon as possible."
"Rupert, itÆs Jenny. My water just broke. Meet me down at Sunnydale General
A.S.A.P. DonÆt worry about a thing. Cordelia was with me and sheÆs giving me a
ride. Love you. Bye."
