Sorry, I almost blew it. I completely forgot about the R rating cap for
this list.
So, if you'd like the last part you'll have to e-mail me privately.
Sorry for the inconvenience. It won't happen again (scouts honor).
Thanks!

way to Sunnydale.
Kender Chaos Chapter 13
As fate (or luck) would have it, Buffy and the rest passing the
cemetery when Spike's car sped by. And who should be hanging out the
window, watching the tires spin, but Tasslehoff Burrfoot.
"Great, come on," Buffy started after the vehicle with the others close
behind her.
She lost the car after about a block but, for some reason, Buffy had a
feeling she knew where they were going. Heading in the direction of her
instincts, she didn't stop running until she got to the bushes around
the park.
By the time the others had caught up to her, Buffy was watching Spike
drag Tas and an old man out of the car. Tas was complaining about
Spike's rudeness while the old man just stood there, looking up at the
moon.
Staying out of sight, Buffy and the others made their way through the
bushes for a closer look. Spike was speaking harshly to the old man,
but he wasn't paying attention.
As the others got closer, they could hear what Spike was saying, "Come
on, old man," he ordered, "we haven't got all night."
"You know, it's not a good idea to rush a mage," Tas said. "You never
know what might happen. Like this one time, Raistlin was..."
"Shut up!" Spike yelled. "Or I'll have you for a late-night snack."
"Really," Tas gasped. "That might be interesting."
Spike growled and ordered Fizban to get on with it.
Fizban walked over to Drusilla and examined her. He then stood back
and started to speak in the language of magic, his hands moving in a
precise pattern of gestures.
With the vampires all distracted by this display, Buffy took the
opportunity to spring a surprise attack. Stake in hand, she leaped out
of the bushes and slew the first vampire she came in contact with.
The death cry of the vampire caused everyone else to turn around,
including Fizban, who found himself pointing at a tree when lightning
sprang from his fingers.
The flash left everyone momentarily blind. The confusion allowed the
others to spring from the bushes unnoticed and quickly take down three
of the remaining vampires. Tas got free of the one who was holding him.
Deciding that this woman was not a very nice person, he drew a tiny
dagger from his belt and began half fighting, half taunting (a skill for
which Kenders are famous for) her.
The vampire finally got mad enough that, in her rage she reached down
and made a grab for the Kender. Remembering what Xander had done
earlier, Tasslehoff found a stake in his vest and plunged it into the
girl's heart as she reached for him.
By this time, Buffy and the others had finished off the rest of the
vampires, save Spike and Drusilla. Spike was about to attack when he
heard a faint whimper from behind him. He turned just in time to catch
Dru as she collapsed.
Buffy found herself staring at the bewildered old man. He wasn't
paying attention. He was looking at the charred remains of a tree and
mumbling to himself.
"Are you Fizban?" she asked.
"Hmmm? What?" he sputtered, as he looked at the slayer.
"You're Fizban, right," she asked again.
"I am?" he looked surprised. "You. Kender, what did you say my name
was?"
"It's Fizban," Tas winked. "Say, Fizban, did you see what I did? I
made that girl turn to dust!!"
"Yes, I saw, Tasslehoff," the wizard smiled.
"Can we go home now?" the Kender asked, yawning.
"Yes, I think our time is done here," Fizban answered and the confusion
melted away from his face.
"WAIT!!" Spike yelled. "We had a deal, old man."
"We did?" Fizban frowned. "Oh yes, you wanted me to cure that girl
there..."
"WHAT?!?!" Buffy and Angel gasped almost at the same time.
"You can't really think of healing h...." Giles started to ask.
"But I'm afraid it's impossible," Fizban interrupted. "My powers will
not work on her."
"You sneaky little bugger!" Spike exclaimed. "I should have killed you
the minute I saw you."
"Aaahhhh..." the old man laughed. "But you couldn't have done that
either. Am I right, Burrfoot?"
Tas said nothing. He only nodded his head violently. Fizban walked
over to where Spike was standing with Dru in his arms, "Oh, don't worry,
my boy," he said. "You'll find what you're looking for sooner than you
think. But, you won't like what you get once you find it."
"Spike..." Dru stirred. "Take princess home?"
"We're going Dru," Spike said, not taking his eyes off the wizard.
With that, Spike turned and carried Drusilla back to the car. Buffy
started after them, but Fizban held up a hand and she stopped. They all
watched as Spike's car sped away.

Author's Note: This is it! It is done! It is finished! The moment of
insanity that started several months ago has finally left me!!
Kender Chaos Chapter 14
"What did you say to him?" Angel asked after Spike had left.
"Something he probably won't remember until it's too late," Fizban
sighed. "Are you ready to go home to Kyrnn, Tasslehoff?"
Tas started to nod yes, then looked puzzled, "But how will we get
there? Is your magic strong enough? I mean, I know you're Paladine and
all, but are you sure you'll be able to do it."
Fizban started to laugh, "Ah, my boy!" he chuckled. "It will be no
problem at all. But I *will* need someone's help."
"Mine?" Tas got excited. "You mean I'll get to do magic again?"
"No, Kenderkin," the wizard shook his head, "I think you've done enough
magic for a while. Now, Tas, you *do* know who I'm referring to, don't
you? I'm sure he's in there somewhere."
"Oooooohhhhh...." Tas's eyes widened. He started fishing through his
pouches until he pulled out a little gold object with a cheer. "I found
him!"
"What is it?" Buffy asked moving in for a closer look.
"Wow!" Cordelia said as she too got a better look. "Is that real
gold?"
"It is!" Tas exclaimed. "It was an engagement ring that my friend
Tanis threw away."
Everyone looked at the Kender's hand and saw that it was a gold ring,
made for someone with very delicate fingers. The ring was inlayed with
tiny leaf patterns that caused it to sparkle in the moonlight. But
there was something odd about the ring. Part of it seemed to be badly
formed.
"What happened to the one side?" Willow asked.
"Oh him?" Fizban pointed to the small mass of gold that was wrapped
around part of the ring. "He's our ticket back to Kyrnn. Come on, you.
Wake up."
Fizban nudged the mass and it slowly uncurled itself from the ring.
Everyone gasped in amazement as Fizban removed the figure of a tiny gold
dragon from the ring and set it in the grass.
"Now everyone stand back!" Fizban called. "Come on, you old thing!
Nap time's over."
As everyone backed away, the gold sculpture started to grow slowly.
After about a minute, the figurine had turned into a well aged golden
dragon. He yawned and stretched it's aged, leathery wings.
"What did you wake me up for?" he asked.
"Because you were needed," Fizban replied.
"Huh?" the dragon asked, he was half blind and hard of hearing. "What
did you say?"
"Oh never mind!" Fizban snapped. "Come along Tas!"
"Good bye everyone!" Tas said, giving everyone a hug.
Everyone returned the Kender's good-bye, even Cordelia. As Tas got to
Buffy, she fished several things out of his vest that didn't belong
there. This was met with a cheerful, "Oh are those yours? Good thing I
found them for you." Buffy shook her head and gave him a big hug.
Fizban also made his round of good-byes, shaking hands with everyone.
This time, when it came to Buffy's turn, the old man stopped and looked
at the young girl.
"It was you who sent me that dream, wasn't it?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, it was, my girl," Fizban nodded.
"Why?"
"Why is not important," he said. "However, I know many a girl your age
where I come from, but few so brave as you, and many a great warrior
who, were you there, would gladly fight at your side."
Buffy smiled, "Thank you."
"Remember where your strength is," Fizban said. "For it will help you
when nothing else can."
Fizban the Fabulous kissed Buffy on the forehead and turned away. He
and Tasslehoff Burrfoot mounted the great, old dragon and, with one
commanding word from the wizard, he leapt into the air.
Tasslehoff waved as the dragon climbed higher and higher. Those on the
ground waved back and continued to wave until the creature disappeared
into the stratosphere.
"What do you think he meant by that?" Angel asked, pulling Buffy into
his arms.
"I don't know," she said, confused. "Maybe I'll find out someday."
"Hey guys, what's that?" Willow asked, pointing into the sky.
"It looks like snow," Cordelia said.
"In California?" Xander asked. "Even I'm not that dumb... am I?"
Everyone looked up as millions of white things came floating out of the
sky. They landed on and around everyone.
Angel plucked one out of Buffy's hair, "Chicken feathers?"
The group looked all around them and suddenly, burst out laughing as
the tiny white feathers continued to rain down on them. The girls
started running through them, as if they were snow, the guys watching
them, laughing more. And, all the while, the stars over Sunnydale
changed, as the outline of a platinum dragon flew across the heavens and
disappeared into another world.

Subject: BUFFYFIC: DISCUSS: "Flies to Honey" sequel to "The Necromancer"
*SPOILER WARNING*
I'm currently working on a work of fanfic entitled "Flies to Honey". I have a
question for those of you that read my previous fanfic entitled "The
Necromancer". Abel the villain is comatose at the end of the story and during
the sequel. So if you are Buffy and the gang where do you put the unconscious
body of a villain if it attracts vampires? So far I've had a couple ideas:
1. In someone's house. Bad idea since you'd have vampires peeking into your
windows all the time.
2. At school. Pity the poor janitor.
3. In a crypt\mausoleum with one of those nice big iron gates. A secure out of
the way place in the graveyard that Buffy can check every now and again for a
loitering vampire.
4. In a safe deposit box. One big enough would cost so much money though.
Any ideas? I'd be grateful. . .
