"Okay ya little nut job, we're home." Faith shook Buffy gently. *Geez... that car ride was all of ten minutes and she falls asleep!*

"B, c'mon wake up." Reaching down, she easily picked up the smaller girl and made her way into the apartment.

Gently depositing her the bed, Faith quicky undressed the sleeping slayer. She carefully put a warm pair of pajamas on the blonde then tucked her in with a kiss. *Actual alone time.* Faith turned out the light and eased the door shut, suddenly itching for a drink.

*Damn... I know there's a bottle in here, somewhere.* The brunette stood on her tiptoes and rummaged around in the cabinet, eventually pulling out a full bottle of Jack Daniels. *Right on!*

"Faaaiithh?!"

*Oh christ! Ya gotta be kidding!* Faith took several swigs from the bottle. *What now?!!*

"Faaaiith?! Where you go?" Buffy sobbed. A nightmare had awoken her, and now she sat disoriented and frightened, alone in the dark.

"Hang on!" Faith started to put the bottle back but changed her mind on Buffy's third cry. *Screw it! I deserve to binge for putting up with this shit!* Faith headed down the hall, taking gulps of whiskey at the sound of each tearful plea.

"Faaaittth?! Pleeeaassee!" The little caveslayer was becoming desperate.

*Why Faith no come?!...Monsters!... Monsters took Faith!* Images of a toothy beast gobbling Faith down flickered through Buffy's head. She shivered. *Monster coming for Buffy!... And eat Buffy too!... Here now!* The tiny blonde let out a blood curdling scream as the door opened.

"B! WHAT IS IT?" Faith glanced around the room. "Holy fuck! What the hell are you screaming about?!!!"

The small slayer stared up at her unable to speak.

"So what is it that you want, B?! Hmmm? Hurry and tell me! So I can get it for you and then maybe you'll shut up!" Faith flared, before taking several more swallows of whiskey.

"Faith?" Cave Buffy's bottom lip trembled as she watched the slightly drunk slayer stumble toward her.

"Yep. I'm Faith. And you're Buffy." The brunette stated flatly, taking another long drink before settling on the edge of the bed. "Okay. What's the matter?"

Immediately, the little caveslayer scrambled over to Faith and crawled into her arms. "Scared. Buffy scared."

*Damn! She's shaking!* Faith nervously lifted Buffy and looked at her. *She doesn't seem to be hurt anywhere... besides nothin' could have got in here and back out so quickly... not possible... it's gotta be something else.* She tipped Buffy's face up. "B, why are you so upset?"

"Monsters! Big monsters! Coming to eat Buffy!" She shrieked.

"Oh yeah?" Faith's lips twitched. "Monsters? So where are these monsters? Tell me and I'll go slay them." She brushed a blonde lock from Buffy's face.

"There!" The little slayer pointed toward the closet, appearing quite certain.

Faith smiled and set cave-Buffy back onto the bed. "Okay B. I'm gonna fix these monsters but then you have to go back to sleep. Got it?"

"Yes. Yes. Faith get monsters. Buffy sleep." She held her breath as Faith threw open the closet door.

"B, come here."

"Noooo."

"It's alright. C'mon." Faith called to her again. The caveslayer inched over, peering into the closet.

Faith reached out and grabbed her, laughing. "See no monsters. It must have been a nightmare. Okay?"

Buffy nodded but remained attached to the brunette. Gripping her so tightly her knuckles were turning white.

Faith dragged Buffy back to the bed and pried her loose. "Shhh... I'll stay in here with you. I just want to finish my drink. Lay back down."

The caveslayer curled into a little ball near the brunette, watching as Faith pounded down the rest of the bottle. *Faith no go. Buffy afraid. No go.*

*Mmmm... feeling kinda good now.* Faith glanced at the nervous slayer and smiled. "What's wrong, twinkie? Hey... shhhh..." Her voice had softened. "Shhh...shhh... none of that." She wiped the tears from Buffy's rosy cheeks. *Damn, B's cute... getting me all hot... making me want her again... oh yeah... yummy Buffy Summers... I'll jus' have a little taste... it's okay.* Faith leaned forward and kissed her.

Part 16: Kneel Over My Face

Cave-Buffy's eyelashes fluttered closed the second Faith's lips touched hers. *Oh good! Buffy like kisses.* She offered no resistance as the taller slayer pushed her gently back on the bed and slid on top of her.

*Mmmmm... fuck this feels great... ahhh yeah.... mmmm...* Faith moaned softly, moving her body against the smaller slayer pinned under her. "Ooh yeah, B... mmm... come on, let's take this off..." Faith breathed out the words in between kisses as she tugged the pajama top open.

Buffy leaned up squirming impatiently as she tried to rub against the brunette.

"Slow down B... We got lots of time." Faith whispered the words as she gazed down at Buffy's half-naked body. Reverantly, she reached out and ran her hand over Buffy's breasts. *Nice rack, B.* She grinned mischeviously before licking her fingertips and bringing them to Buffy's nipples.

Cave-Buffy quivered. *Oh!... goooood... good touching*

Faith brought her lips back to the older slayer's. Deepening the kiss, she ran her tongue slowly along the inside of Buffy's mouth, savoring the exquistness. *Oh god!* After several sizzling kisses Faith leaned back, grinning. "You like?"

"Yes! Kisses good!" Buffy grunted, reaching for her. "Kiss Buffy more!"

"Yeah B... count on it." The dark slayer smirked before brushing her lips back over Buffy's. She found the taste and texture delicious. And the little caveslayer's responsiveness drove her wild. *I'm getting so wet... oh fuck me..*

Buffy moaned softly into Faith's mouth, whimpering slightly with each kiss. "More!"

It wasn't long before the small slayer was panting and tugging hard at Faith's jacket, desperate to remove it. After several unsuccessful tries, she growled loudly, frustrated.

"Shhh B.." Faith lifted herself up and expertly slid her jacket off in between kisses.

"Yes. Buffy touch Faith now. Touch Faith!" Cave Buffy grunted, tearing Faith's shirt in two.

"Whoa B! You little animal!" Faith laughed, too drunk to care.

"Off! No clothes!" Buffy demanded. She struggled with Faith's pants until the brunette brushed her hands away and pulled them down for her.

"Oh god! Buffy!... fuck..." Faith moaned loudly as cave-Buffy slipped her fingers inside her and moved them slowly, exploring.

"Soft." The little slayer announced. "Buffy like it."

"Yeah? Well, I like it too." Faith smiled and lightly touched her lips to Buffy's, groaning as the tiny blonde removed her fingers.

The caveslayer quickly pulled down her pajamas bottoms. "Touch! Touch Buffy there too!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"You're in rare form tonight, B... don't worry I'll get you off..." She leered at the blonde before rolling over to lift Buffy on top. "Come here, cutie."

"Yes!" Cave-Buffy squeaked happily, letting Faith pull her into another kiss and squeeze her tight.

"Up... sit up for a minute." Faith pushed cave-Buffy back, trying to readjust their positions.

"What? What Faith want?" The little caveslayer seemed uncertain as Faith moved her again.

"It's okay, B. Jus' kneel over my face..." Buffy obediently straddled the brunette's face. "That's it, B... yeah, that's perfect.." Faith's voice was barely above a whisper as she took in the view.

"O-kay Faith. You kiss Buffy? You kiss Buffy, here?" She pointed down between her legs. *Kisses here...oh...* Her hand unconsciously slipped over the hairless lips. She knelt there absently stroking herself, slipping her fingers back and forth between the soft, wet folds.

*Holy shit!* Faith gaped at her. Fascinated by the naked, little blonde, she watched while Buffy fondled her own pussy. *Whoa! This is happening... I'm actually watching Buffy Summers play with herself... and it looks sooo frickin' hot!....Damn, prissy-Buffy will freak if she finds out she did this... oh fuck, I'm so turned on right now...*

Cave-Buffy continued to caress herself, waiting for Faith's next instruction. But the brunette just stared, hypnotized by the site.

"Faith? Kiss now?" Buffy asked innocently. Her fingers and pussy glistened.

"Yeah B... fuck yeah!... jus' get closer... closer... closer."

Breathing hard and shaking slightly with anticipation, the little caveslayer lowered herself slowly to Faith lips, then she planted her moist little hands against the wall to hold herself up.

Faith in turn laid her hands along the small of Buffy's back, steadying the trembling girl before delicately kissing Buffy's soaking wet pussy.

*Ohhhhh....mmmm!* The blonde's eyes slid shut.

Faith pulled the caveslayer even closer, and sighed, grateful to finally get what she was craving. She let her tongue slip between the silky folds, each time licking gently. Almost languidly caressing Buffy's clitoris as she traveled up and over... again and again.

"Yes... mmmm.... ahhhh... more... yes, yes...Buffy like kisses there... ahhhh." Buffy quivered as she neared oragasm.

*That's it, B... go ahead and cum... good girl.* Faith moaned and pulled Buffy hard against her face, aching to just suck on the blonde's dripping pussy.

"Ahhhhh!" The tiny slayer screamed as she came, shuddering and sliding down. "Uh-oh..." Buffy whimpered, panicked as her damp hands slipped from the wall. "Faith! Buffy falling!"

"No, you're not, B. I gotcha." Faith eased the blonde down onto the bed, grinning as cave-Buffy sprawled out sleepily. She turned to gaze at Buffy's perfect body, enjoying the cute glow it now had. "Come here, B." Faith held out her arms, and Buffy crawled into them.

Yawning, and rubbing her eyes the caveslayer gave her a sleepy smile then snuggled in close. Faith laid there listening to Buffy's breathing as it evened, indicating the blonde had fallen asleep. She then relaxed, trying to let the alcohol do it's job.

The dark slayer smiled to herself. *Fuck... I think I'm happy..* She drifted off with that thought.

*****
Part 17: Cave Buffy the Artist

*What the hell?!* Faith felt something poking her. Her brown eyes snapped open to meet curious green ones, staring intently back.

"Up now!" Cave-Buffy announced feeling triumphant. "Faith up!"

"No. Now get lost." Batting the small hand away, the brunette pulled a pillow over her head and grumbled, "B, jus' go an' play or somethin'...geez.."

The little slayer pouted but crawled out of bed and left the room.

.................

"Phone!" Cave Buffy squealed, clapping. "Faith up! Phone!"

Faith stumbled down the hall, holding her head. *Fuck, shouldn't a drank the whole bottle... not use to it, anymore...* She frowned and fumbled for the phone. "Yeah!"

"Uh... Faith, it's Willow. We're at the door. We've been knocking but Buffy wouldn't let us in."

"Shit...sorry about that. I just got outta bed. Gimme a minute." Faith hung up and turned to take in the mess. The toys she'd bought Buffy were all opened and strewn about. *Fuck! What'd she do?!!!*

Her eyes scanned the room trying to find the naked little blonde in the clutter. But the freshly decorated walls caught her eye first. *Huh?! jezuz... B!!!*

Faith cocked her head, studying the mural. *What the hell?* The primitive depictions, each one carefully made, seemed to be of them and their recent exploits. The brunette glanced over at the caveslayer who sat quietly absorbed in a new project.

Spread around her on the floor, Cave-Buffy had fingerpaints, crayons, glitter, her coloring books and some glue. She appeared so innocent, hovering over the paper and working.... wearing only her birthday suit and an occasional smear of paint.

The dark slayer gawked. *I should wanna beat the crap out of her... shouldn't I?! What's the deal?... Wow, Buffy's body is so perfect... Did I ever notice that before?... Maybe I did... had to...yeah, she's got an amazingly hot bod... a total yummy..... Ugh! I gotta focus here!* Frowning Faith shook it off and called out to the older girl.

"B, get over here. I have to get you clean and dressed. The superfriends are waitin' outside."

Cave-Buffy peered up at her and beamed. "Faith look! Look!" The tiny artist pointed proudly at the walls which now featured her story. Running over to it, she smacked each scrawled shape, explaining the drawing.

It ended on the two stick figures brandishing stakes, which apparently represented her and Faith; she smiled at the brunette, awaiting her praise.

*I guess I can always repaint the apartment.* Faith glanced from the graffiti on wall to the naked slayer and back again. *Screw it!*"Yeah, it's great. `Sides I didn't want my deposit back anyway, so thanks. Now let's ya cleaned up. Come here."

"Noooo. Buffy draw. Draw more."

The knocking started again. "Hey... Faith? Buffy?... Hey, you guys... is.. uh... is everything okay in there?" The voice belonged to Xander.

*Damn!* Faith strode over and picked up the paint smudged slayer who squirmed and screeched all the way to the bathroom. "You stay in here, B. Do you understand?! Wait here!"

Faith could still hear cave-Buffy's growls as she opened the front door. "Hey."

Willow, Tara, Xander, and Anya stood anxiously in the doorway waiting for Faith to usher them in.

Willow slipped into babble mode. "I hope you don't mind that we all came over. It's just that... well... I don't have class today, and everyone else... they all had the day off too so we thought..." The red head stopped speaking as Tara nudged her and gestured toward the wall. "Ugh! Oops! Uh... um... I'm guessing, Buffy's work?" Willow squeaked, suddenly glancing around for their slayer.

"Yep. Sure is. B's quite the artist, don't ya think?" Faith's sarcasm was tempered with a shrug.

"It's actually not bad." Tara stuttered nervously. "Looks a bit like a Picasso."

They all briefly contemplated the caveslayer's artwork. "Yeah, I can see it... Picasso." Xander nodded in agreement then chuckled as he gestured at the two small handprints near the bottom. "Look, she even signed it."

"Xander! Shhh.." Anya elbowed him while the witches shot him a warning glance.

"Whatever. I shouldn't of bought her that crap... should've jus' let her cry." Faith waved it off, "...or left her in the store." She snickered at their horrified expressions. *Yep, they still think I'd hurt her. That's good. Shit, I didn't know what they were thinkin' after B's little fit last night.* Her smirk grew.

"Where is Buffy?" Xander spoke up, eyeing Faith with suspicion.

"Down Zeppo. She's here." Faith motioned toward the bathroom. She folded her arms over her chest, waiting for him to gather enough courage to walk past and check. Of course cave-Buffy's cries stole her fun. *Damn!*

"Faaaiith! Faaaiith..." The caveslayer shrieked, furious at having been interrupted and then just left in an empty tub.

"Hey, I gotta take care of B. You guys are gonna have to wait or somethin'." She said while heading down the hall toward the bathroom. As the door opened the Scoobies heard cave-Buffy clearly.

"NO! Buffy no want bath. No bath! Buffy draaaaww!"

Her screams were that of a spoiled child. The group looked at each other uncomfortably.

"Maybe I should go help out." Willow suggested. *Something has to be done before Faith snaps and hits Buffy.*

Tara reached out and grabbed her arm. "Wait." A few minutes later the caveslayer's complaints stopped, and water was being run, presumably for a bath.

"Boy, this cave version of Buffy is not an improvement." Anya noted as she casually flipped through a magazine.

"No, she's not. That's why we have to finish this research. Here." Xander took the magazine from her and replaced it with one of the books they had brought.

The two witches exchanged a look. Xander glimpsed it and turned toward Willow. "What? What's that about?"

"Shhh... Nothing. Tara, I'm just going to check on her." Willow said waiting for a nod from her girlfriend before heading down the hall.

The red head quietly opened the bathroom door and peeked in. She could see Buffy sitting happily in the tub, surrounded by bubbles, and chattering as she played, while Faith washed her hair. The cuteness of it, almost made Willow forget why she was spying. She gave herself a mental kick and leaned in more.

The witch smiled as Faith piled the sudsy blonde locks on top of Buffy's head, taking great care not to get soap in her eyes. *Everything seems okay...*

Cave-Buffy's chipper play drown out the creaking door as Willow eased herself in even further. The wiccan could now hear Faith's responses, which consisted mostly of, `Uh-huh.' and `That's right, B'. The condescending answers seemed to satisfy the small slayer though. She would accept each and return to her cheerful jabbering still fussing with the toy clutched in her hand.

Willow squinted. *What's she playing with?* She chuckled when she realized it was the wonder woman doll Faith had pulled from the cereal box the day before.

The brunette sat back on her heels allowing Willow to do a quick Buffy check. Feeling satisfied that her best friend was unharmed, the witch started to leave when Faith suddenly stood up. *Oh crap!* The red head flattened herself behind the door.

"Okay B, time to get out."

"Noooo. Buffy likes bath. Buffy stay." The caveslayer declared, turning from Faith and playing with her doll.

"Nope. Today's a short one. Your groupies are waiting." Faith ignored cave-Buffy's growls and pulled the plug. The suction made a popping sound, and the water began to drain.

The little blonde screamed in anger. "NO! Noooo! Faith bad!" Her grumbles soon turned to tears as the tub emptied. "Not nice." She whimpered as Faith stood her up.

Willow blushed at the unrestricted view she now had of Buffy's nude body. *Well, no bruises.* She continued to ogle her. *Nope. Definitely nothing wrong there.*

Faith had turned on the shower. "Shhh... B. Close your eyes." The caveslayer obeyed, standing still as Faith rinsed the shampoo out.

Willow was awed by Faith's tender handling of cave-Buffy. *Tara's right. She doesn't hate Buffy... at least, not anymore.* The red head frowned as she thought about the implications of this with the re-evolved slayer.

Switching the shower off, Faith delicately dried Buffy's body. Willow froze. *This is getting pretty intimate.... Faith's touching is too... too...* Her mind struggled with what was now unmistakable. She watched horrified while Faith's touches turned to caresses.

The brunette worked her way down Buffy's body and was kneeling in front of her when the caveslayer pulled Faith close. The blonde then dropped her other hand down and ran her fingers over her pussy.

Buffy held Faith's face near while she stroked herself to a glisten. Finally soaked and excited cave-Buffy grunted out her demands. "Faith kiss here. Kiss Buffy here. Buffy want kisses."

All the color drained from Willow's face as she saw the dark slayer smile and lean forward. *No please! She's not! They're not! Noooo!* She winced as Faith's lips touched Buffy. She couldn't believe it.

Faith lovingly kissed Buffy's pussy over and over, moaning and holding onto the small blonde tightly. "Buffy... oh B... mmmm... yesss..."

The blonde slayer gave a sexy growl, gripping Faith firmly while she rubbed her wet pussy against the younger girl's soft and eager mouth. Willow gaped.

Buffy rested her foot on the tub, spreading her legs wide. She made herself accessible to the redhead's eyes and the brunette's lips. Faith instinctively took the cue and licked right where Buffy wanted.

"More... more... mmmmmm.." The small caveslayer groaned, giving a little shiver and dazzling smile.

*Obviously not the first time they've done this.* Willow could barely breath as she stood transfixed. Faith lifted her lips higher and sucked Buffy's clitoris.

Intrigued, the witch watched as Faith licked slowly along the folds and then in between. The caveslayer panted and her legs quivered as she clutched at the brunette, desperately. "Faaiiith... Faaiiithh..." She literally sobbed out Faith's name as she begged.

Willow was impressed. The younger slayer seemed to have real talent.

Faith continued licking Buffy gently and then kissed her pussy several times before covering it with her mouth and sucking greedily. *I... um... I should go... yeah, definitely shouldn't be seeing this...* But Willow couldn't bring herself to leave. The site of Faith kneeling in front of Buffy, and going down on her... It was too sexy.

The little red head was absolutely fascinated as Buffy purred in ecstasy and tangled her hands in Faith's dark tresses. *She's cumming. Oh my god! Wow!* Willow's whole body burned as she witnessed her best friend's intense orgasm.

The small slayer shuddered and moaned. Teetering, she dug her nails into Faith's shoulders as she struggled to remain standing.

Willow smirked at Buffy's sudden unsteadiness, but gasped at the final surprise. Faith trembled as she gently lowered the caveslayer onto her lap. She was gazing down at the sleepy blonde with tears in her eyes.

Willow paled. *WHAT?! NO!... No way!... she couldn't... she doesn't!*

The former baddie tenderly kissed Buffy and whispered. "I love you, B."

*Oh god!... Okay, so besides curing Buffy we need a memory spell.... something that causes serious amnesia... if Buffy remembers any of this, she'll kill us... and probably Faith too...* Willow observed the intimacy for another moment before slipping from behind the door and exiting, unseen.

*****
Part 18: Reversal Spell Tomorrow

"What are you looking at, Red?!"

"Nothing." Willow quickly looked away blushing.

The dark slayer only arched an eyebrow and shook her head in irritation.

"Faith?" Cave-Buffy ran over and hopped onto Faith's lap, smiling up at her.

"What B?" Faith grinned down at the blonde. *Damn, she's so cute...*

"Hungry. Buffy hungry." The little caveslayer grumbled.

"Okay, I'll make your lunch. What do you want to eat? Hmm?" Faith asked pushing an unruly lock of hair behind Buffy's ear and tapping her lightly on the nose.

"Burgers!"

"Hamburgers? Again?!"

Cave-Buffy nodded her head vigorously. "Buffy want burgers!"

"Okay B. Hamburgers it is. You be good and watch TV, okay?" She gently lifted Buffy off her lap and set her in front of the television. "Hey, what about the rest of you? Are you guys hungry yet?"

Faith had fed them once already. When she was fixing Buffy's breakfast she had noticed Xander's wistful look and had ended up making pancakes for everyone.

"Ooh yeah. I could go for a hamburger... And french fries?" Xander looked up, hopeful.

"Yep. B likes fries... and milkshakes too. Don't ya, little B?" Faith had to fight the urge to kiss Buffy as the small blonde bounced on the sofa.

"Shakes. Yummy. Buffy likes vaaa - neel - la."

"I'll give you a hand." Tara gave Faith a shy smile as she followed her into the kitchen.

"Me too." Anya threw down the book, glad to do something else.

Willow frowned and glanced back over at Buffy who sat obediently watching the television.

"Wil, what's with you?" Xander leaned close to the fidgeting witch.

"I don't know... This is just weird... Don't you notice it?" The red head stammered.

"Not following here, Wil. Can you be more specific?"

"Faith." Willow whispered, nervously looking toward the kitchen. "Faith and Buffy." The little blonde heard.

"Faith. Faith. Faith." Cave-Buffy called to her sister slayer.

"What B?" Faith leaned in the room, smiling. "What do you need?"

The caveslayer tattled by pointing at Willow and Xander. Faith laughed as she took in their guilty blush.

"Yeah, you have to be careful. Buffy will rat ya out. She's pretty loyal. Aren't ya, B?" Faith winked at the little blonde before going back into the kitchen.

Willow glanced over at Buffy, surprised. "Buffy?"

"Bad Willow. Bad." The slayer snorted and turned back toward the television.

.........................

"Here it is!" Xander exclaimed passing the book over to the two witches. "That was the symbol that was on the outside of each keg."

"Ooh.. good. That'll help." Tara studied it. "I think we can have a reversal spell ready tomorrow."

Faith peered out the window. It was dark out already. "Hey maybe you guys can watch B. I wanna go finish off those stupid vamps from last night."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean if you wait, Buffy can go with you tomorrow night?" Xander suggested.

"Nah... I can take bleach boy with me. He won't mind givin' me a hand."

Anya made a face. "You mean Spike?"

"Yeah. What of it? He'll go with." Faith shrugged.

"NO! No Spike!" The little caveslayer shouted and stamped her foot. "Faith no go!"

"Hey. Hey now...shhhh. I won't patrol then. Okay? Are ya happy?!" Faith relented, totally irritated.

"Uh... well, it's kind of late. We probably should get going." Willow gathered up the books. "Can you bring Buffy over to the Magic Box around noon?"

"Yeah. Fine." Faith held the door open for them while cave-Buffy waved energetically.

..............

*Oh my god, it feels like someone is playing the drums in my head. Ugh! What'd I drink?! Or maybe it's how much I drank. Owww, it hurts to think.* Buffy groaned and rolled over. *Where am I?!*

*****
Part 19: Freak Out

She opened her eyes slowly. *Nothing looks familiar. Is that the shower? Oh god, what have I done?!.. gotten so tanked that I don't even know who I've slept with!* Buffy glanced down at herself and breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed that she was wearing pajamas. *These are my pajamas. Huh? And what's this?* She held the stuffed animal out and studied it. *It's a bee. How cute. Do I have a stuffed bee?!* The shower stopped and brought Buffy's attention back to the situation at hand. *I'll just tell this guy sorry and get the hell out of here.* The blonde slayer frowned as she felt a familiar tingling. *What?!*

The bedroom door opened and in walked Faith, wet and smiling. She had a towel wrapped around her and was using another to dry her hair. Her dark eyes settled on Buffy. "Hey babe, you're awake early. Are you hungry?" She leaned over and kissed the wide-eyed slayer.

"Faith?!" Buffy could barely speak. *Why did she kiss me?!* Faith misinterpreted Buffy's shock.

"Aw B, did you have another bad dream?" Before Buffy could object Faith had climbed under the covers and pulled Buffy into her arms. "Come here, sweetie. I'll hold you." Faith gently caressed the small slayer, kissing her and slipping her hand under the pajama top. "You wanna... ya know... I'll kiss you where you like it." She slid her other hand between Buffy's legs and starting rubbing her. "I want you, B." Faith groaned. "God, I want you... more than anything."

*Whaa... what is she doing?!* Buffy squeezed her eyes shut as a shiver went through her.

"That's it babe... mmmm.... you're so perfect... damn it, Buffy..." Faith yanked the pajama bottoms off and crawled down the little slayer's body.

*Wait! NO!* Buffy's eyes widened as the brunette leaned in and licked her. "Oh god...ahhhh.." Her whole body shook with pleasure as Faith's lips touched her pussy. "Fuck... ohhhhh... yes... yes..." She moaned and trembled, clutching Faith to her. *Oh god! Yessss!...ahhhh!*

Faith smiled, surprised at how quickly Buffy came. *Wow! That was fast!* She continued kissing the small slayer, enjoying her sweet taste. *Mmmm... my little B... I love you, Buffy..*

Buffy spread her legs, watching as Faith kept licking her. *Oh yes... that feels good... mmmm.... I like that... Faith is eating me out... it's incredible...* Her hand tangled in the long dark hair as she held Faith against her. *Faith... Faith is licking me... oh god... mmmm... oh yeah, I getting wet again... Faith sucking on my pussy... ahhhhh!*

Faith lapped at her and sucked gently as Buffy's back arched. She could feel Buffy's second orgasm. "Aww B... that was too quick... I guess you wanted it." She moved up to kiss the little blonde, giving her wink.

Buffy laid there out breath. *That was... oh god, that was amazing...* She relaxed as Faith wrapped her arms around her and kissed her neck.

"You don't have to get up yet, B. They're not expecting us until noon." She whispered sadly. "Red and blondie will have the reversal spell ready so this is it. You'll be normal again. Hell, you'll probably wanna gut me one more time. At least that's what Red thinks, I heard her talking to Tara." Faith laughed a little. "They don't realize how good slayer hearing is, do they B? I'm gonna tell Red not to do the memory spell though. I'd rather be honest with you and deal with it than lie." She kissed Buffy slowly.

*Reversal spell! What'd Faith do?!* Buffy pushed her off and jumped out of the bed.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Faith got up, confused. "B?"

"FAITH! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!"

"B?.. Buffy? You're back? Okay. It's okay. Just don't freak out." Faith backed away from her.

Buffy's face was turning red. "FREAK OUT?! NOW WHY WOULD I FREAK OUT?! HMMM? TELL ME FAITH?!"

"Shhhh.... it's okay B. I swear. It's not what you... I mean I can explain." Faith held up her hands as Buffy moved toward her furious. "C'mon now. Just gimme a minute here."

Before Faith had time to say anything more Buffy punched her, knocking her out cold. The little blonde reached out and caught Faith in her arms, frowning as she lifted the dark slayer. *I have to call Willow. Find out what's going on.* Buffy carried Faith to the bed and laid her down gently. Without thinking Buffy bent and kissed the brunette lightly on the lips. "Sorry Faith." She stormed out of the room to find a phone.

......................

*Ugh! Damn, B sure can throw a punch.* Faith groaned and started to sit up.

"Lay back down!"

Faith wasn't certain, but that sounded a lot like Buffy. *Oh B, I love you.* She felt all the tension leave her body. *Buffy's still here.* Faith smiled.

"I wouldn't smile if I were you! I'm still pretty pissed off so watch yourself!"

Faith tried not to smile, but failed miserably. All she could feel was Buffy's hands... touching her... holding ice to her eye... *Buffy... damn, I love you... and you're still here.*

"What are you smiling for?! I just punched you out! Did you hit your head or something?!"

*Cute, little, pissed-off Buffy... awww... damn, she's so cute when she's mad...* Faith's smile grew. *Hey, I think I'm seeing stars.* Faith grinned stupidly. "Buffy, I love you."

"Hush! Be quiet!" Buffy looked up at Willow who shrugged.

"You sure decked her, Buff. Here try this." Xander held out the steak Anya had handed him.

"Is Giles meeting us at the Magic Box?" Buffy took the steak from him and turned to the two witches.

"Yeah, he should be there right now. Do you need help with Faith?" Tara glanced worriedly at the half conscious but grinning slayer.

"No, I've got `goofy girl' taken care of. You guys go ahead. We'll be there soon."

"Uh... Buffster, I'd hate to be the one to have to point this out, but you really clocked her. Are you sure we shouldn't take her to a hospital or something?" Xander cringed as Buffy glared at him.

"She'll be fine." The small slayer pulled Faith tighter in her arms before turning toward the group. "What were you thinking anyway?! Leaving me with Faith!"

"Uh... well, we didn't want to. Giles insisted and..." Willow floundered, having dreaded this moment.

"She took really good care of you, Buffy. I mean totally above and beyond. She even bought you stuff." Xander picked up the stuffed bee and held it up. "See."

Buffy frowned and snatched it from him. "We'll talk about this later. Go on. I'll meet you over at the Magic Box."

They shuffled out guiltily. "Oh and no memory spells, Wil!" Buffy called out as the front door shut.

*****
Part 20: I'm Here Now

Buffy sat back on the bed looking down at the girl she held in arms. *How did this happen?! I remember getting drunk and then... I was pulling Willow and Parker from a fire... and I hit Parker with a branch.* Buffy chuckled.

"B?" Faith tried to open her eyes but nothing came in focus. *Ugh! I feel kinda sick.* She lifted her hand to her face, wincing. "Ouch!"

"Shhhh... I told you. Lie still." Buffy tightened her hold. *What else?... Giles, Willow, and Xander brought me here... Faith gave me a bath.* The little blonde's cheeks burned bright red as she remembered the bath. *Faith and I went to the store and...* Buffy remembered hitting someone. *Oops, not good... why'd I hit him?"

*B's holding me?! I can't believe she's not still pummeling me.* Faith sighed and buried her face against Buffy's chest.

"Faith?"

"Sorry. Sorry B, I was jus'..." Faith squinted up her.

"Faith, why did I punch that frat boy?" She glanced down at the dazed brunette.

"Huh? What B?"

"Why did I punch that guy in the store?" Buffy smiled. *Faith looks cute when she's all squinty.*

"Uh... I don't know." Faith mumbled, closing her eyes again. "He touched my butt or something."

Buffy thought about it. "Yeah, I remember. He was a real creep." She ran her hand absently through Faith's wavy tresses. "What else Faith? What else did we do?"

"Um... Let's see. We went to the toy store and then I went slaying while you stayed with the super pals."

Buffy interrupted her. "You went slaying?" She thought about it. "Oh yeah, with Spike!"

"B, that's not what happened. He jus' showed up... good thing too." Faith frowned, her brow scrunching up at the memory. *Kinda got my ass kicked that night.*

"Pshaw! Since when do you need help?! And from a vampire no less!" Buffy dismissed Faith's statement. She peered down at the dizzy brunette in irritation. Faith had snuggled up against her, wearing a content smile. *Faith took care of me. Why?!* "Why?"

"Why what, B?" Faith felt tired and confused.

"No. No. No sleeping. Do you understand? NO SLEEPING!" Buffy shook her.

"I'm tired B, please." Faith seemed groggy.

"That's it! You're going to the hospital then." Buffy started to get up.

"No. No hospital. I'm awake. See... geez... ya didn't punch me that hard." Faith blinked several times still struggling to stay conscious.

Buffy arched an eyebrow, but sat back down. "Fine. You have ten more minutes then we have to go to the Magic Box." She glanced at the brunette. *Faith is so pretty.... mmm... and her mouth... oh boy... stop having pervy thoughts... wow... but those lips and that tongue... ahhhh... I remember what she did with that mouth... I knelt over her face and.... oh my...* Buffy's breathing increased.

"B?... Buffy?"

"Huh? What?..Yes?"

Faith laughed. "Ohhh - kay... Ya doin' alright there, B? You seem a little distracted."

*How could she know?! No. She couldn't. She doesn't.* Buffy scowled. "Stop playing Faith, before I deck you again. What was your question?"

"Oh... um... I was jus' wonderin'. You know... If you remember... well...um... we kinda... uh... you know... we were... um.." Faith felt overly warm.

"Intimate?" Buffy had to force back her smile as Faith's blush deepened.

"Uh... yeah. We were... intimate... like in a sexual way."

Buffy began to cough.

"B? B? Are you okay? I'm sorry. B, please... I didn't mean to. Nothin' happened. If that's what you want, it didn't happen. Don't be mad. C'mon stop coughing, please." Faith sat up panicked. *What'd I do?! I broke her or somethin'!* "Awww B, please..."

Buffy moved her hands from her face, and Faith could see she was laughing. "I'm sorry Faith." She waved off Faith's worry, trying to catch her breath. "It just sounded so funny."

Faith's face fell. "Yeah, I guess it would." She stood up to leave.

Buffy reached out and grabbed the younger slayer's arm.

"Let go!.. will ya?!" Faith glared at her.

"No. Now stop it. Listen to me." Buffy's tone became serious. "You're lucky I'm not still kicking your butt around this apartment so sit back down. We're going to finish this conversation."

Faith made a face, but sat down. "Why aren't you?"

"What? Kicking your butt still?" Faith nodded. "Well, for one thing Xander's right. You took pretty good care of me." Buffy spoke quietly. "You even made me vanilla shakes."

"You remember." Faith gave her another lovesick grin.

"Yes, I remember. It's coming back to me." The blonde slayer leaned forward and kissed her. "And I also remember the intimacy thing," Buffy coughed a little, "wasn't all your doing."

"So... um... what changed? I mean before you went all cave girl, you wanted to totally kill me still and now you're all okay."

"Hold on there. First of all, just because I wasn't ready to patrol with you didn't mean I wanted to kill you. And second, I don't know that everything is okay. I still haven't had time to process all of this." Buffy corrected her.

Faith looked away. "Yeah. Okay. Well, you should go now. They're waiting for you at the Magic shop. I'm just gonna hang out here. I got things to do... you know how it is."

Buffy watched Faith closely. "Faith. Faith... look at me."

The brunette slowly looked up. "What?"

"Come here." Buffy waited until Faith came near then reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Cut it out. Do understand me? No more games." She remained patient as Faith struggled against her. "Are you done yet?"

"Screw you! I don't need your pity! Let go!" Faith wanted to get away quickly; she could feel the tears coming.

"Shhhh... It's okay, Faith. Shhh..." Buffy kissed her and held her close as the younger girl cried softly in her arms. "Shhh....It's okay... it's all okay, Faith... I'm here now."
