Subject: BUFFYFIC: ADMIN:  List rules

Welcome!  This list is for fiction related to "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer," both the TV series and the movie.  To ensure that we all get
to enjoy as much fiction as possible, please adhere to the following
guidelines, and please save them for future reference.

1. Fiction should have Buffy characters in it and clearly be related
to Buffy.  Crossovers are great, and expected, but general
vampire/monster stories that aren't in the Buffy universe and don't
use Buffy characters belong somewhere else.

2. Discussion of posted fiction is permitted onlist.  Please put
"DISCUSS" in your subject line.  Requests for missing story parts
should go directly to the author, and not be posted to the list.

Discussion that is not related directly to the fiction should go over
to the general Buffy list.  Discussion of fiction is expected to
follow common netiquette guidelines and use PG-13 language.

3. No advertising of <any> items or services, Buffy related or not,
and no posting of non-story items such as .gifs, sound files, etc..
No attached files of <any> kind-- if your mailer makes your fiction
into attached files, you need to find another way to get it to the list.

4. If you're writing a story and including advance information on a
new episode, and you're posting your story earlier than the national
viewing time, please:

     **Mark the post as a "spoiler" in the subject header.
     **Leave about twelve lines (blank or with non-spoiler info) at
          the top of the post.

This ensures that anyone who doesn't like knowing about an episode
ahead of time is "protected."  :)   The blank space is for people whose
mailers automatically open up the next piece of mail, without giving
them a chance to see "spoiler" in the header.

Spoiler warnings are not necessary after the start of the episode's
national viewing time, which is currently set at 9 p.m. Mondays,
Eastern Standard Time.  Spoiler warnings are not necessary for reruns.

5.  This list is absolutely NOT for erotic fiction.  <Nothing> stronger
than sexually PG-13 material is to be posted to the list under any
circumstances.  A story may be R rated for violence or language, however.

If you have a question about something's suitability for posting, feel
free to ask one of the listowners.  Sending sexually explicit material
will get you immediately and permanently unsubscribed.  No exceptions.

6.  By subscribing and/or posting to this list, you acknowledge that
Buffy the Vampire slayer and all characters associated with either
the televised series or the motion picture were created by Josh Whedon
and are owned by Mutant Enemy productions, Kuzui Productions,
Sandollar Productions, and 20th Century Fox.  All stories posted to
this list are for entertainment purposes only, are not sold for profit
of any kind, and are not intended to infringe on any copyrights.

7.  When posting stories to the list, please follow the following
formatting guidelines
- --No story parts longer than 250 lines
- --No lines longer than 75 characters
- --Turn off your "smart quotes"-- many readers receive these as garbage
or weird symbols
- --Put the title of the story in the subject header, indicate if it's a
multipart story, and if so what part this is.  Example:   Buffy Meets
Godzilla (2/65) indicates that this post is part two of a 65 part story.

8. If a story is rated "R" for language/violence, indicate this in an
introduction.  For example, "There's a really bloody fight scene at
the end of this part" or "if you don't like dismemberment, stop
reading now!"  If there's <any> chance that someone might be disturbed
by something in your story (even if it's not rated R) please include
some kind of warning up front.

9.  And last, but not least, the listowners reserve the right to deny
subscription (new, renewed, or continued) to the list for any
individual(s).

PLEASE NOTE:  not following any or all of these rules will get you
the following:

**First offense:  offender is unsubscribed for one week.
**Second offense:  offender is unsubscribed to the Buffyfic list for a
minimum of three months.
**If the offender returns and does it again, they're offlist
permanently.

As noted above, posting sexually explicit material is the exception --
you go straight to permanent unsubbing.

Again, welcome!  If  you have any questions about these rules, please
contact either one of us offlist.  If you have subscription problems or
questions, the fastest way to get help is to e-mail one of us at the
addresses below, <not> at the [e-mail] addy which is the
"official" e-mail owner of the list.

Subject: BUFFYFIC: ADMIN:  Free email policy

Please read this.  It's very important.

Effective immediately, anyone who wishes to s*bscribe to any Buffy list on
a "freemail" account (Geocities, Hotmail, etc.) will be required to
provide us with a "permanent" e-mail address as a backup.

We will <not> under any circumstances reveal this permanent e-mail address
to anyone.  This is for our reference <only.>

This new policy has become necessary because of the problems we've
experienced with freemail accounts.  They're too easy to set up and
cancel, and there is so little recourse if the individual with the
freemail account causes problems, that we have no choice but to enact this
policy.

The s*bscription information pages will be changed to reflect this policy.

IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY S*BSCRIBED UNDER A FREEMAIL ADDRESS:  as long as you
stay s*bscribed, you do not need to provide us with this information.
However, if you uns*b and want to res*b at some point, you will have to
give us this information even if you were previously a s*bscriber through
a freemail account.  If we have to uns*b you for bouncing mail, again,
you'll have to provide the information to res*b.

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us offlist.
Thanks.

SPOILERS: The story is set after season two happened
SUMMARY: This is a Angel/Buffy what-if story. It starts off the morning after
her surprise party. What happens when Buffy wake's up to find out that all

was just a dream, or was it??????

Whedon.
NOTE:  Now I can have some real fun now that I have explained what happened to
the Judge and Have Zeal in the storyàà.out of Buffy's body.


Part 10: Be Careful What You Wish For

After the dust had settled, and Buffy was back to normal they returned to the
Library.  Xander was just a little thirsty, but besides that he was fine.
They had not really tortured him, even though he was a bit angered over the
fact that they taunted him with water.  All in all he was fine.  Buffy on the
other hand was not, she clamed that she was all right from the whole ordeal,
but Angel was the only one who seem to realize different.  He could see that
everything that happened had effected her, and he was not going to let her get
away with not telling him what was bothering her.  They had both forgotten to
tell Giles about the dream, it seem not as important to them.  They had other
things on their minds.

Location:  Angel's Apartment
Time:  The night after

Angel was sitting on his recliner with Buffy in his lap sharing a passionate
embrace.  When suddenly she pulled back from the kiss.  Angel knew something
had been wrong after the events of the past few days, but he really did not
want to push the issue.  He was going to wait until she was willing to talk
about it, or until he got tired of waiting and asked.  But one thing he did
have was patience.

"What's wrong?"  He really did not what to push her, but the question was not
that harsh so he did not censor himself.

"It's nothingàà" With the fading of her words she turned away from him.  "It's
just when Zeal was controlling my body she could read all of my thoughts, I
could read all of hers.   Also I could read the thoughts of the people around
me; I know that she was the one controlling that power, but it was still
really weird.  Plus some people's thoughts I really didn't want to know, like
Xander's."  She made herself and Angel smile with that comment, and then
turned back and faced him with a serious.  "I could also hear your thoughts,
and now I know why you didn't even want to tell me everything about your past.
I understand though, I realize all the horrible things you did wasn't you, but
the demon.  Now they're no secrets between us.  I hope your not mad that now I
know everything."   She said, looking at him with a mischievous grin.

"I'm glad, I want you to know everything, even though I want to tell you it
myself."  Angel thought to him self for a moment.  "Actually it makes it
easier now that I don't have to."  With those last few words they returned to
their actions from before hand.

Then she pulled back again; "I should go."

"What's wrong?"  Angel had thought that he had resolved the issues about Zeal
with her, but it seemed that there was more.  Something more then just the
fact that she knew everything he did, but something deeper.  But he still was
not going to push her.

"I should go home, I haven't really gotten much sleep in the past few days.
That's all."  It's seemed that she was trying to convince herself more then
him.

Angel understood that she needed some time, and he would not force her to
stay.   "I understand, do you want me to walk you home?"  He still wanted to
stay with her as long as she would let him, and he was hoping that she would
let him walk her home.

With a small smile, she got up off of him and pulled him with her to the door.
"Sure, I'd like that."  As Buffy spoke these last words they walked out the
door hand in hand headed for her house.  Both not even know the happenings
across town.

Location:  Factory
Time:  Same time

Spike and Drusilla returned that night, realizing that it was empty of
everyone, vampire and mortal alike.  He was pissed to say the least; almost
all of his men had been destroyed, or had fled during the fight against the
slayer.  He still could not understand how she could be so merciless in her
fighting.  Spike had seen the slayer fight before, full of witty comments, and
used a stake rather then a sword.  He also noticed a look of fear in the
Judge's eyes when he saw her the second time. The Judge was scared of a
slayer, the same slayer, only days before that trembled at the thought of
being burned by him.  Spike couldn't really figure it, but before he could
finish his thoughts Annabel walked in.  She was dressed like the stereotype of
a witch.  Long black velvet dress, with sleeves that flared at the bottom.
Spike was a bit confused from what he knew of her, which was very little, was
that she was a smart-ass that dressed like a normal teenager since she was
one. He was also kind of glad that at least one of his vampires had the nerves
to return. Most would not from fear of the slayer coming back, or having to
dealing with Spike.

Zeal waltzed in like she own the place, she soon realized that Spike still
thought this poor vampire's demon was in control, not even knowing about her.
She had to laugh aloud. She slowly walked over to Spike and Dru with an amused
grin.  "Well I seen you two have returned, I've been looking for two every
where.  I see my search was not in vane."

"I thought of all my vampire you'd be dead by now, but it seems you have a few
surprises, Annabel."  <Wow I remembered her name.  Well she is the only one to
who come back; the least I could do is know her name. > Spike just grinned at
the thought of out of all his men; she was the one to come back.

"I'm glad you finally know my name, but I have a little secret for you."  She
leaned in closer, and whispered into his ear.  "Not Annabel, Zeal."  She
pulled back from him with a smile.

Spike remembered that Drusilla said that this would be their new powerful
ally, and returned the smile.  "Welcome to the family."

"Not family, servants.  You server me now."  She turned away from them both,
and started to walk away.

"What the bloody hell do you mean, servants!?"  Spike was a bit angered at her
cockiness.   He was not about to take orders from a newly made vampire, even
if she was possessed some spirit.

"I'll tell you both this, but only once, If either of you cross me, even once.
I'll kill the other, just to see one of you to suffer, even if it is not the
betrayer."  With that she continued to walk to the doors, then turned back
once more.  "O ya, keep in mind, I know what you're thinking."  Then with that
she left, leaving Spike with a confused and angered look on his face.  Still
during all of this time Drusilla was unfazed by all of these happenings, she
seemed to understand everything that was going on.  That seemed to be the most
unnerving thing to Spike.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My Moira #9
By: Taygeta

    The fifteen-year-old slayer sat on her parents' bed and eyed them
critically.  After much impending silence she said, "You guys, cannot be
serious about all this stupid Hellmouth stuff."

    Buffy realized that what had been said was more of a statement
than a question as she recognized the shared stubborn streak of her
daughter.  She never thought that she would have to explain to Moira
about 'Hellmouth Stuff,' always figured she would do the same as her own
motheràtalk about boyfriends and parties and school.  This had to go
beyond the expenditures of a parent's past experienceàfar into a world
she had vowed long ago to forget, but as much as she tried it to push
them aside, they would always continue to haunt her.

    "Buffy, you have to tell heràyou're the only one that can,"
Xander whispered to her as she faced the door that she had closed.

    She nodded slowly as her eyes lifted to meet his, worried, but
assuring, eyes.  She placed a hand on the side of his face as he had done
earlier and felt the stubble of his chin beneath her fingers.  Nodding
again, and taking a deep breath, she walked towards the bed.

    Sitting beside Moira, she took her hand and began, "I never
thought you were going to have to know this part of my lifeàit was so
long ago, but those times are some of the most vividàand painfulàmemories
of my life.  Maybe that's why I only let them come out of my work."
Buffy opened a drawer beside the bed and revealed one of her latest art
books, published by the successful efforts of Giles' small publishing
company in New York.  "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but
they're also worth a thousand memories."

    The glossy new pages crinkled as she turned past the pages of the
introduction Xander had written, past the first pages of her small
biography, and stopped at the first page of the chronology of her work.
The first was a painting of the Master exploding into ashes, titled
"Skeleton of My Nightmares."

    "H - he was real?"  Moira hesitated as she eyed the picture on
the page.

    Looking at the picture, she remembered that night, when she had
died and swallowed before answering, "As real as anything can be, after
allàhe killed me."

    Her daughter did a double take and her eyes widened with concern,
"W-what?  How can that be?  You're hereàyou're not deadàyou're - "

    "ShhhàMoira, it's okay," Buffy assured her, "I was sixteen and
there was a prophecy that told me I was going to die, but thanks to
someone very close to me...I didn't die...totally.  See what happened
wasà"

    And thus the stories of the woebegone days of yesterday cameàof
prophecies, villains, and the life of a slayer.  Xander sat aside and
listened intentlyàremembering those times as if it had been yesterday,
and realized that something was missing in those talesàAngel was
missingàAngelus was nowhere to be heard.

    He stood up promptly when someone knocked on the bedroom door.
Cordelia smiled weakly, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Moira's friends are
downstairs andàuhà"

    "OhàI'll handle it, tell them I can't go with them tonight," she
said standing up from the bed.

    "Hold onà" Xander said with raised eyebrows, "Can't go where
tonight?"

    She smiled sheepishly, "Ohàthe parental toneàumàScott was going
to take the three of us to a club."

    "Where?"  Buffy probed.

    "He was going to take us to a club inàthe very, very close and
not let us stay late place ofàSan Diego?" Moira said.

    "Like sure he was," Buffy said standing up, "What makes you think
we were going to let you roam the streets of San Diego, tonightàa school
night, no less?"

    "IàI was hoping that my two wonderful, esteeming, parental units
would be so kind andà" she faltered under her parents' eyes.

    "Honey, we're still very wonderful and esteeming parents, and
that's why you are in no way heading to San Diego with your friends,
period.  I'm thinking the same for Deirdre and Jacob," Xander continued,
"So, unless, you want me to phone some parents and let them in on what
I'm guessing was your Round Robin scheme, you better tell them the same."

    "Yes, Dad," she said reluctantly as she left the room,
"Sheeshàone minute you're discussing the dreaded realm of a slayer and
the next I'm getting reprimanded."

    "She's not taking all of this very seriously, is she?"  Cordelia
said despite the fact that she found the entire "parental tone" scene all
too laughable.

    Buffy glanced at her and shook her head, "No, she isn'tàat least,
not yet anyway, but it's not going to take discussion to get her to see
how important it is."

    Xander eyed her carefully, "Then what's it going to take?"

    Exhaling deeply she said, "Experience.  It's going take her that
to realize that she's not only fighting for her own survival, but for the
world, as well, and in order for that to begin, she's going to have to
fightàgoing to have to kill her first vampireà"

=93Xander. Xander!=94

=93Huh!=94 Xander said, waking with a start. =93Huh?=94 Xander looked up =
to see
his friend Willow shaking him awake.

=93Xander. Wake up. It=92s time to go to class.=94 Willow said, reaching =
out a

hand to help her friend up.

Xander took the hand and pulled himself to his feet, and said, =93Sorry, =
I

guess I drifted off.=94

=93I=92ll say. What did you do last night after I talked to you?=94 Willo=
w
asked not totally sure if she wanted to hear the answer, as they started

to walk towards class.

=93Aaa, last night. I-I just watched some TV.=94 Xander replied hoping th=
at
he sounded convincing.

=93Oh, I thought you were going to try to write a story, or something.=94

=93No. I tried to, but I couldn=92t think of anything to write about.=94
Xander lied. In fact, Xander did think of something to write about. And
he had enjoyed writing his story more that he expected. The thing was
that he was a little embarrassed with the thought that someone else may
read his story. =93Then as I thought about it, it seemed to be to much
like homework.=94

=93Then why are you so tired today?=94 Willow asked somewhat relieved. On=
e
of the last things that Willow had said to Xander last night while
trying to convince him to write something on his computer was, =93Write
about your wildest fantasies.=94 Then later when she thought about the wa=
y

she had phrased that statement, she regretted it. She just knew that
Xander would come up with something, something too Xanderlike. Which
could be many things that Willow didn=92t want to think about.

=93I just watched TV.=94 Xander said.

=93Oh, Xander.=94 Xander heard Willow say from a slight distance.

Xander turned to look at Willow. Unlike he expected, she was no longer
standing next to him. She was a few feet away facing up an intersecting
hallway, with her head turned towards him.

=93Class is this way Xander.=94 The petite redhead said, pointing up the
other hall.

Xander turned to rejoin Willow as he said. =93I knew that. I was just
seeing if you were paying attention.=94




Ms Polk=92s science class was boring as usual, Xander thought as he
listened to her drone on, and on. Why did we need so many elements
anyway? And who gave a darn how many protons and neurons they had
anyway.

=93Xander, I asked you a question.=94 Xander turned with a start when he
realized that Ms Polk was speaking to him.

=93Yes ma=92am.=94 Xander said as he sat up in his chair.

=93Well, do you have an answer?=94

Xander felt his neck turn red as everybody in class turned their
attention to him. So Xander said the first thing that came to his head,
=93Ah, 42.=94

Xander felt like he wanted to melt into the seat, as he listened to the
sound of laughter from the class.

=93Xander,=94 Ms Polk asked. =93Do you even know what I asked you?=94

=93Yes, yes I do.=94

=93All right then tell me, What was my last question.=94

=93Your last question?=94 Xander paused. =93Your last question was, did I=
 have

an answer.=94

The class roared with laughter. However, Ms Polk was not so amused.
After the laughter died down she said, =93Mr. Harris. See me after class.=
=94

As Ms Polk turned away from him, Xander looked around to see if there
was a hole somewhere near by that he could crawl into.





=93Oh no.=94 Willow said.

Xander looked at Willow who was standing behind him in the lunch line,
and asked, =93What s=92matter Will?=94

Willow wrinkled her nose and said, =93They=92re serving spaghetti again.
Remember the last time they had spaghetti? It turned into snakes.=94

=93Yeah Will,=94 Xander said. =93But it was an improvement in the food.=94

=93It=92s tough to argue against that Willow.=94 Buffy said from behind
Willow.

=93Still, I think I=92ll skip the spaghetti.=94 Willow said.

Xander took the spaghetti, mostly to annoy Willow. Pretending not to
notice Xander=92s choice, Willow took the imitation cheeseburger, and
cardboard french fries. After paying for his food, Xander waited for
Buffy, and Willow to catch up. Then he said, =93Come on Cordy=92s already
got a table.=94

=93Harris!=94 Xander heard from behind him. When he turned around, he had=
 to

tilt his head down slightly in order to address the person who had
spoken. =93Principle Snyder. Nice to see you today.=94

=93Cut the bull Harris. I have a special project I want you to volunteer
for.=94

Someone should explain to El Shrimpo the meaning of the word volunteer,
Xander thought to himself as he said pleasantly. =93Whatever I can do to
be of assistance sir.=94

=93You=92re not fooling me with your little cooperation act Harris.=94 Sn=
yder
said with a sneer. =93Meet me in front=85=94

Suddenly Xander felt something shove him hard from behind. Caught off
guard, Xander stumbled forward into Snyder, causing his food to dump
over the principal. Xander stared in horror as he looked down at the
front on Snyder=92s suit, now covered with spaghetti and sauce. Snyder
looked up from his pasta-covered chest to Xander.

Xander tried to speak, but all he managed was, =93I=85 I=85=94

After the initial shock of the event wore off of the crowd, a ripple of
laughter passed though. Snyder turned a deep shade of red. He fixed
Willow with a stare as she tried to stifle a giggle. Willow=92s eyes got
big, and she turned a little pale at the sight of Snyder=92s expression.
Her mouth opened and closed once, then she said, =93Not laughing. This is
me not laughing.=94

Snyder turned his glare back to Xander and said, =93My office. Now!=94 Th=
en
he turned around and walked out of the cafeteria. Xander stood there for

a moment staring at the door that Snyder had gone through. Then he
turned around to look at Willow and Buffy.

=93You know,=94 Buffy said, =93I don=92t think I=92ve ever seen anyone tu=
rn that
shade of red before.=94

Xander turned to Buffy and said, =93Well that=92s a lot of help.=94

Buffy smiled apologetically and said, =93Sorry. Do you want me to go with
you?=94

=93No thanks. No need both of us getting an any trouble.=94 Xander said, =
as
he turned around and headed for the door.

As Xander approached the principal=92s office he met Snyder coming out of
a restroom, the front of his suit wet where he had apparently tried to
wash out some of the sauce. Xander opened his mouth to speak. Snyder
held up a finger and said, =93Not a word.=94 Then with his head Snyder
motioned Xander towards the office.

They had just entered the office when Mr. Dale and a boy that Xander
didn=92t recognize, walked up to Snyder. Mr. Dale whispered something to
Principal Snyder. While Mr. Dale spoke to him, Snyder glared at Xander
nodding his head. Then Principal Snyder pointer to a chair and said to
Xander, =93You. Sit down. Wait right here. Do not move.=94 Then he led th=
e
way into his office with Mr. Dale, and the unknown boy in tow.




=93HARRIS! Wake up.=94

Xander woke with a start to see Principal Snyder standing over him with
his hands on his hips. =93Who gave you permission to sleep?=94

A groggy Xander started to speak, but Snyder cut him off saying, =93Shut
up, Harris. Who told you to speak? Now get into my Office.=94

Xander hurried to comply. Snyder followed him into the office and told
him to sit down, as he shut the door.

Xander took a chair and said, =93Principal Snyder, I sorry about what
happened, but somebody pu=85=94

=93Harris,=94 Snyder said. =93Didn=92t I tell you to shut up?=94

Xander responded with a nod of his head.

=93Then why are you speaking?=94 Without waiting for a reply, Snyder
continued to speak. =93You=92re off the hook. Mr. Dale saw Carl Thompson
push somebody into you.=94

Xander started to breathe a sigh of relief, but stopped short when
Snyder said, =93The boy has confessed, and said you had nothing to do wit=
h

it. But I=92m not totally convinced. You=92re one of those people that
always seem to be around when there=92s trouble. I should give you
detention just for breathing my air.=94

Principal Snyder stared at Xander who meekly stared back. Then Snyder
said, =93Now get out of my sight before I change my mind.=94

=93Y-Yes sir.=94 Xander said as he stood up.

=93And If I even think you=92re causing any more trouble today,=94 Snyder=
 said

pointing, his finger at Xander. =93I=92ll give you so much detention that
your children will be in detention.=94

=93Yes sir.=94 Xander said as he quickly got out of the principal=92s off=
ice.

Once into the hall Xander realized that he was hungry. He looked at his
watch and said, =93Damn. That little undersized midget made me miss
lunch.=94 Xander headed down the hallway in search of a snack machine,
while thinking pleasant thought=92s about the many terrible things that
should happen to Principal Snyder.



Later Xander was walking into the library. He smiled as he met Cordelia
on her way out.

=93Hi.=94 Xander said to his girlfriend, as he took her hand. She smiled
weakly back at him. =93Hay have you seen Willow around? I needed to ask
her something.=94

Cordelia glared at Xander, as she jerked her hand away, and said, =93What
do I look like? Some kind of secretary.=94 Then she turned her back to hi=
m

and stormed out the door, leaving Xander standing there with his mouth
open.

Finally, Xander got over his shock. He turned around and saw Giles
standing near the table trying to act as he hadn=92t been watching. As
Xander approached Giles he pointed back over his shoulder and asked,
=93Wh-What did I say?=94

=93Oh, you mean Cordelia.=94 Giles asked as he took off his glasses and
began to clean them. =93I=92m afraid I don=92t know. She did seem somewha=
t
pre-occupied while she was here.=94

Xander hit him self in the forehead with the palm of his hand as he
said, =93Of course. I should have remembered.=94

=93Remembered what?=94 Giles asked.

Xander smiled and said, =93It=92s nothing that won=92t pass in a couple o=
f
days, Giles.=94

=93Oh, I see.=94 Giles said, in a tone that clearly said that he didn=92t.
Then as he returned his glassed to his head realization struck him and
he said. =93Oh! I see.=94

=93Anyway, I was looking for Willow,=94 Xander said. =93But maybe you can=
 help

me, Giles? I have this extra science project I have to do, and I need to

know=85=94
