Buffy grabbed the phone before the second ring, "So what's the word?"
Willow watched as Buffy's face changed. *Great! She's out.*
"Willow?" Dawn called out from the kitchen, "Can you give me a ride to school? Kristy isn't going to go today. She's ditching 'cause of that chem. test." Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Yeah sure, peanut. Go get your books."
Buffy hung up and turned to Willow. Willow held up her hand and gave a head nod indicating Dawn's presence, then she leaned closed and whispered, "I know; it was written all over your face." She hugged Buffy. Then called out to Dawn, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah. Bye Buffy." Dawn waved cheerfully as her and Willow walked out.
When the door closed Buffy dropped down and sat on the stairs. She buried her face in hands and cried. *I've got to fight Faith again… so much for being happy!*
"Are you ready, Bbot?" Faith grinned as Buffybot came into the room.
"Yes, Faith. Are we going to the clothing store now?" The slayer bot asked brightly.
"You betcha. Come give us a kiss."
Buffybot went quickly to Faith and kissed the waiting slayer. Faith cupped the little bot under the chin to tilt her face up. "You know, you're so sweet, I think you're giving me cavaties."
"Oh no. I don't want to hurt you. You are my friend." The little bot's face fell.
"No." Faith started laughing as she shook her head, "It's just an expression. C'mon, let's go get ya some new threads." She held the door open for Buffybot.
Willow had just dropped Dawn off at school, and was sitting at a stoplight. She saw something that caught her eye. *Oh my god, they're hot!* The red headed witch perked up to watch the stunning couple cross the street. *How cute they're holding hands.* Willow smiled, watching as the brunette lovingly brushed a few strands of hair from the tiny blonde's face. *Do I… know them?* Willow squinted trying to see better.
The brunette bent her head down to kiss the shorter girl gently on the lips. *Wow! Look at that. What a show they're putting on!* Willow was grinning from ear to ear as she watched two of the most beautiful gay girls she'd ever seen, make-out in public. The light changed; Willow was excited because now she'd get a better look at these two beauties when she drove past. *Wait till I tell Tara about this.* Willow was still smiling as she turned and looked at the two girls, preparing to wave. She dropped her hand. "No way! SHIT!" A car behind Willow honked.
Faith looked up. "No way! SHIT!"
PART 12 - I'm Ready To Face Her
Dedication: To Dan - jus' cuz. :P
"I just saw Faith."
"What?! Are you alright?! How did you get away?" Buffy ran to Willow's side checking her friend for injuries.
"I didn't get away. She ran." Willow was still struggling with how best to tell Buffy… what she had just witnessed.
"Okay Wil. Enough with enigma-girl. Tell me what happened." Buffy sat on the sofa next to Willow, watching as the little witch blushed crimson.
"You're not going to like this at all. As in … you might have preferred that Faith had been in attack mode." Willow looked at Buffy carefully.
"Out with it, Wil. I'm ready to face her… so go ahead. Tell me what happened."
"I saw her with Buffybot." Willow took a deep breath. "They were kissing."
"Wha… WHAT?!"
Willow flinched. *Gotta find the good... okay, how about this one.* Willow spoke hesitantly, "The bot looked unharmed."
"Why… wha… I don't get it! Willow, it had to have been an act for your benefit! She must have seen you. She's totally up to something. It has to be a trick."
Willow thought about it for a moment, but she knew what she saw, and it was no act. "Buffy, I don't think so. She was as surprised as I was. I…"
Buffy interrupted, "No Wil. You must be mistaken!"
Willow detected an odd tone in Buffy's voice. *Is she panicked?… Or hopeful?* Whatever it was, it was enough to cause Willow to back off on her assertion. "I don't know, Buffy… It all happened pretty fast. She grabbed the Buffybot's hand and took off running."
Buffy got up from the sofa, and started pacing. "So what is Faith up to? How are we going to find this out?"
Willow sat watching, Buffy. She had an impending sense of doom. *Oh please, don't let her suggest…*
"Willow, I'm just going to have to switch places with that Buffybot again." Buffy gave Willow a matter-of-fact nod.
Willow brought her hand to her forehead to rub it. *Ugh! I can feel a headache coming on.*
Dedication: To Dan, Piper, Aby, Jaime and Elaine. :P
"Wil, hurry up." Buffy pacing nervously behind Willow and Tara both of whom sat facing Willow's laptop.
"Almost Buf… got it. Tara, honey get a pen and paper for me, please."
"You're sure this is the right address." Buffy looked at the piece of paper Willow had just handed her.
"Yes…but Buffy, I don't think that you know what you're getting into. Maybe, we should…" Willow tried to reason with her, but Buffy cut her off.
"I can handle anything that Faith throws my way. I've kicked her butt before. Remember?!" Buffy headed for the door and turned back, Willow was still sitting there just chewing her bottom lip. "Hey, c'mon let's move it. You guys need to bring the Buffybot back here."
Willow gave Tara a pleading glance so Tara gave it a try, "Buffy, how do you plan on making the switch without Faith knowing?"
"I don't know yet. I'll figure out as it comes to me." Willow and Tara exchanged a dubious look and then reluctantly followed Buffy out to the car.
They crouched outside the apartment window. "What do you see?" Tara asked Buffy.
"Not a whole lot. The lights are off."
"Well maybe nobody's home and we should just leave."
"Not so fast." Buffy grabbed Willow's arm as she tried to get up to leave. "Nice try, though."
Willow smiled back weakly.
"No Wil. The lights were just turned off. Get down." Buffy was the only one peeking in. The other two were crouched near the ground waiting. The apartment door opened, and Faith walked out dressed in her trademark leather. Buffy caught her breath as she watched Faith lock the door and head off in the other direction.
A big grin spread across Buffy's face. "Aw, this is just too easy. See I told you guys. Now come on, before she gets back." Buffy pulled the screen off of the window and pried it open.
She climbed through and signaled for Tara and Willow to go to the front door. When Buffy opened the door for them, she was wearing her 'I told you so' grin.
"So where do you think she stashed the bot?" Buffy headed for the hall closest.
Willow gave Tara a look and they turned to head for the bedroom. Sure enough Buffybot was tucked neatly into bed, but switched off.
Willow laughed, "Look she's wearing little Tasmanian devil pajamas." Then she laughed even harder as she turned to a slightly less cofident slayer and said, "Well at least the pajamas are very you. Hurry up and change."
After Buffy had switched clothes with the Buffybot, Willow slipped her hand under the back of the bot's neck.
"What do you think you're doing, Wil?!" Buffy's eyes narrowed in warning.
"Buffy, she's too heavy for me and Tara to carry."
"I'll carry it out to the car for you, of course!"
Willow glanced down at Buffy's pajamas then asked with great skepticism, "And you don't think that - that would draw any attention to us?!" She looked at Buffy who had opened her mouth preparing to argue, and stately flatly, "Buffy, I have limits to my patience too!"
"Fine!" Buffy spit out the word, as she crossed her arms. "Just get that thing from my site! And I mean, fast!!"
Willow reached behind Buffy's neck. "Wil, what are you doing?"
"Showing you where Faith is going to be reaching to switch you on. You'll need to know that if you want any shot at deceiving her."
"Fine!"
After Willow gave Buffy some basic instructions, she reached over and switched Buffybot on.
"Hello Willow! Hello Tara! You are my friends." The Buffybot smiled brightly at both them and they smiled back, despite Buffy's glare.
Willow shrugged at Buffy. *What?!… Look at her smile! How can I not smile back?!*
The bot turned and looked at Buffy with uncertainty.
"What is it looking at?!" Buffy asked angrily.
"C'mon Buffybot, let's go." Willow nervously tried to get the little bot to get up off the bed.
"No. I can't go. Faith will be back and she will be looking for me. Faith is my friend."
Buffy's temper had started to simmer. "Willow, get that thing out of here. Now!"
Buffybot looked at Buffy sadly, then turned to tell Willow, "She is not my friend."
"C'mon Buffybot, please. We have to go now."
"No. I cannot leave Faith. Faith loves me."
Buffy screamed in anger, "WILLOW! GET THAT THING OUT OF HERE!"
Willow hated to do it, but she decided it was best to lie to the little bot than to have her torn apart right this very minute, "We're going to see Faith right now. C'mon Buffybot, Faith wants you to come with us."
Buffybot smiled and got up to follow. As they got into the car, Buffybot asked, "Why does she hate me?"
Willow paled. Buffybot was never programmed to know that word.
The front door finally opened and Faith could be heard stumbling around.
*Hmm?!… imagine that… I use to think of her as graceful!* Buffy laughed to herself.
Faith finally stumbled into the bedroom, and Buffy could smell it on her all the way from the bed.
*She's drunk?!!!… SUPER DRUNK!* Buffy was guessing it to be a Jack Daniels kind of drunk, or possibly Jagermeister. She relaxed a little with the realization that this was definitely to her advantage, *Well, as Tara is always fond of saying - we have to be thankful for what we can!*
Buffy took a risk and opened one eye just barely, to see what Faith was doing. She immediately closed it. *Oh my god! She's taking her clothes off!* A few more minutes passed and Buffy could hear the shower running, she breathed a sigh of relief. *I can do this… I can do this.*
Faith tripped on her way back into the room. "Ouch!!! Holy Fuck!"
Buffy had to suppress the urge to smile. *Faith always had a way with words.*
The brunette climbed… no fell into the bed, and crawled under the covers with Buffy. Buffy stopped breathing for a moment as Faith cuddled up next to her. *SHE'S TOTALLY NUDE!*
Faith gently caressed Buffy and kissed her neck, whispering softly, almost tearfully, "B…"
Faith sighed, then reached up. The dark slayer ran her fingertips lightly over the nape of the Buffy's neck, pressing very gently. Buffy fluttered her eyelashes and blinked a few times, then imitated that spacey smile as she spoke. "Hello Faith! You are my friend."
To say that Buffy was unprepared for what happened next would be the understatement of the century.
Dedication: To everyone who loves Buffy and Faith as much as I do.
Faith leaned down and gave Buffy one of the longest, softest, most loving kisses that she'd ever received. The blonde slayer could feel it, all the way down to her toes. *Ahhhhhhhh… oh my… mmmm.*
Faith lifted her head and spoke with her eyes still closed, "I love you, Buffy." When she opened her eyes, Buffy could see the tears in them. "Did ya miss me, my little Bbot?" Faith smiled down at her.
*OH… MY… GOD! Willow was right! Now what?!!* Buffy struggled; thank goodness, Faith was tanked. "Yes… Yes, I did Faithy. Where did you go?"
Faith looked at her for a long moment; the blonde held her breath. The dark slayer rolled off of her and laid, staring up at the ceiling. "Nowhere Bbot."
Buffy turned to study Faith's profile. The room was dark except for the moonlight, but she could make out tears rolling down Faith's cheek.
"Why do you cry, Faith? Did someone hurt you?"
"No, I hurt someone."
"Tonight? Who did you hurt?"
"No Bbot, a long time ago before you were born or whatever." Faith turned and gave her a smile. Buffy swallowed hard. The brunette squinted in the dark, "Bbot, you're not broke or nothin', are you?"
Buffy tried to make her tone sound cheery, "No Faith. I am not broken. I am perfect."
The younger slayer laughed and bent to give her a quick kiss, "Yes, you almost are." Faith laid her head on the little blonde's chest… and she heard something. *A heartbeat?!*
Dedication: The usual suspects- Dan, Piper, Aby, Jaime, Elaine, Fien, and Eliza Lover thanks for all the great fb.
The brunette lifted her head. "Bbot, do you know what I want?" She asked playfully.
"No Faith. What do you want?" Buffy was confused.
"It's my favorite thing… c'mon Bbot, ya know." Faith kissed Buffy again, and began unbuttoning her pajama top. "It's your favorite thing too." She spoke between kisses.
Buffy felt light-headed. "I… Yes.. Uh…"
"I want you to be Buffy for me, so we can make love. Hmmm?" Faith gazed down at the very disoriented slayer.
Buffy felt trapped by her own deception. *Oh gosh! Uhh!* She could feel her face burn red as she answered, "Yes Faith."
*Oh Fuck… This can't be happening… it's too good to be true. I'd pinch myself, but she'd see.* Faith slipped the pajama top off of the blonde, then leaned down to kiss her, letting her nipples brush lightly over Buffy's.
*Ahhhh… ohhh… that felt sooo nice… mmmm* Buffy's nipples were instantly erect.
The brunette's lips moved down from Buffy's mouth, along her neck, and lower. Faith soon captured one of those perfect nipples lightly between her teeth. Then brought her whole mouth to bear, lavishing attention on the entire breast.
The little slayer's pajama bottoms became uncomfortably damp, as a hot flush spread over her entire body. "Faith, it's warm in here." She said without thinking.
"Oh? You're too warm? Wow, that's never happened before. You're sweating." Faith kissed the nervous blonde. "I'll go turn the AC down some. Okay Bbot? Will that help? And afterwards we can take a bath… I got you a rubber ducky and some other bath toys. I'll teach you how to play, since you got screwed out of a childhood."
The blonde missed seeing the wicked little gleam in Faith's eye as she grinned and headed to the thermostat. Buffy just managed to say, "Okay Faith. You are my friend."
Faith came back into the room carrying a glass of water. She watched Buffy as she drank. "Mmmm. That's refreshing." Faith smiled and set the glass down near Buffy's side of the bed.
*Oh geez! I'm sooo thirsty!* The blonde continued beaming, then asked. "Faith, can I see the presents you bought for me?" *Please let her leave the room… please leave the room.*
The brunette arched an eyebrow before answering, "Of course you can." She bent and kissed Buffy on the top of her head, and walked unsteadily into the other room.
The blonde scrambled so quickly for the glass that she nearly knocked it over. *Oh yes!… good water.*
Faith picked up the bag of toys and other Bbot presents that she had purchased during the day. After the Willow sighting she had tucked Buffybot safely away, of course and went shopping alone. The brunette stood there for an extra minute. *You better be getting a drink, B. 'Cause this might be your only chance without asking… Fuck, I'm not that creative!*
Buffy moved to set the glass back down and realized it was almost empty. *Uh-oh!* The older slayer suddenly grinned and dropped the glass to the floor. "Oops! Faith!"
"Yes, Bbot?" Faith came back into the room cheerfully.
"I spilled your water." The little blonde pointed at the carpet, where the glass was laying.
*Good one, B.* Faith smiled, "That's okay, my little slayerbot. You wanna see what I got ya?" The brunette set the packages on the bed.
Buffy sat up excited. *Ooh, Faith bought me presents!*
Dedication: Dan, Piper, Aby, Jaime, Elaine, Fien, Eliza Lover, and Angel thanks for all the great fb.
The blonde slayer reached for her pajama top and smiled at Faith as she buttoned it up and grabbed the first gift wrapped box. Faith watched her, unable to suppress a smile. *Yeah, Buffybot wouldn't have bothered with the pajama top… B jus' keeps being less like the bot by the minute…*
Buffy looked at all the wrapped boxes. *Gadzooks! Looks like Christmas morning.* The blonde started with the boxes that obviously held clothes. *I think I have this exact shirt in blue not yellow… and I have this skirt… what's with the cartoon pajamas?… hey, I have these exact sneakers… hmm?… most of this is my existing wardrobe but different colors… how would she know?* Buffy looked at Faith, feeling beyond confused. She tried to hide it, "I don't understand? Is all this for me?"
"Yep. I'm your friend, remember?.. Here open this one."
Buffy took the box she was holding. *Now I don't have this!* Buffy could feel herself blush; she was relieved that the lights weren't on as she held up the lingerie. She reached for another box, but Faith pushed it away.
"Nah… no more clothes… open the fun stuff." The brunette pushed a FAO Shwarz's bag toward her. The next thing she opened were games… Clue, Life, Don't Break the Ice, Operation, and… Parcheesi.
*Okay… she was going to play Parcheesi with the Buffybot?!… I guess she's in love with me!* Buffy smiled brightly, "Thank you Faith. I like you. You are my friend."
"I like you too."
Without really giving it a thought, Buffy leaned over and kissed Faith. The brunette smiled, then slowly leered as she spoke, "Go ahead Buffybot, take off your pajamas. You know how to."
Buffy's cheeks burned as she unbuttoned her top, taking it off slowly.
"Now the bottoms, c'mon Bbot." Faith watched breathlessly as Buffy slid the pajama bottoms to her ankles and kicked them off.
Buffy was burning up again, as she returned Faith's smile. *How do I get out of this?… she's going to want to… omigod!*
"Buffybot, you forgot to take off your panties." Faith's heart was pounding at this point.
Buffy reached down and slid the panties to the floor as well. She stood back up, but couldn't meet Faith's eyes with her own.
"Bbot, look at me." Faith ordered.
Buffy dragged her eyes over to look at the brunette. Faith's leer was gone, replaced by a gentle smile as she leaned in and kissed Buffy.
The brunette pulled back slowly, "I love you, Buffy Summers." Faith then knelt on the floor in front of Buffy.
*What's she going to do?!… Oh my god… Oooooooooh!* Buffy tilted her head back as the younger slayer used her entire tongue and gave Buffy one very slow and deliberate lick. "I need to sit…"
"Okay B… bot, grab that desk chair." The blonde sat down. "Now spread your legs wide for me, Bbot." Buffy obeyed.
Faith's palms felt moist as she placed them on Buffy's thighs then bent her head down. *I can't believe it… I can't believe I'm going to get to do this… that she's going to let me… Oh fuck… I think I'm scared.* Faith ignored her own shakiness and brought her lips masterfully to *Buffy's perfect little pussy*. The younger slayer's eyes slid shut. *I've died and gone to heaven.*
Buffy couldn't breath. *Ayeee… ahhhh….uffff…* She opened her eyes and watched Faith kissing her. *It's never felt this… this good… Wow! … look at her kissing me… she's loving it… what a turn-on… lick me, Faithy… mmmmm… yes… go ahead, lick me… you love me… lick it all up… this is what you've been dreaming of… have it… I'll come in your mouth for you, Faithy… hmmm… ooh yeah… attagirl…* Buffy reached down and tangled her hand in the younger girl's dark hair, pulling her closer.
Faith could feel the blonde slayer's legs quiver and spread wider. *Bingo… yepper… she's gonna come… fuck yeah…* Faith held on to Buffy's thighs as the blonde arched into her mouth and came. After a few moments the hand in Faith's hair began to gently caress her.
"Let's go lay on the bed, Faithy."
Dedication: To my ex-girlfriends, thanks for a great education. Oh yeah and to Dan, Piper, Aby, Jaime, Elaine, Fien, Eliza Lover, and Angel thanks for all the great fb.
Faith took Buffy's outstretched hand, following her to the bed. She reached out and knocked everything onto floor. The blonde smiled at Faith's passion. *How cute… look at her… she still wants more… heck, so do I…* Buffy got onto the bed and patted it, invitingly.
The brunette wiped her chin off with her hand and beamed at Buffy, as she climbed onto the bed with her.
"Faith… What do I taste like?" The little blonde asked watching the dark slayer closely.
An enormous grin spread across Faith's face, "Well, you're really sweet tasting… Ya know that cereal, Sugar Smacks with Dig'em Frog on the box… that's what you taste like."
Buffy laughed and pushed Faith back, kissing her on the mouth. *Mmmm.* "You're right, it does kinda taste like Sugar Smacks."
"Told ya."
Faith's phone rang, causing them both to jump. "Uh… I'll be right back, Buffybot." The brunette gave her a sappy smile.
"Hey ya?"
"Hi… erm… Faith, this is Willow."
Dedication: To everyone who is providing feedback. Thanks, it's much appreciated.
"Yeah?" The brunette turned her back toward the bedroom.
"Can you drive over to Buffy's house, please?"
"I'm kinda busy." Faith glanced back at Buffy. *Shit… here she comes… curious B!*
"Faith, who is that on the phone?" She tilted her head and smiled.
*Whoa! She's gonna keep going with this bot routine… fine by me… B, you can pretend to be a robot for all eternity as far as I care…* Faith put her arm around Buffy's waist pulling the little slayer up against her. "It's your friend Willow, my little Bbot."
Willow could hear them talking. *What the heck is going on there.*
"Oh!" *Omigod! What the hell is Wil doing?!* "Can I say hello to Willow? She is my friend."
"Sure." Faith handed the phone to Buffy.
"Buffy, what is going on there?!"
"I don't understand that question. But thank you for asking." Buffy closed her eyes as Faith knelt down in front of her and kissed her. "Um… " Buffy tried to back away from the brunette. "It is Willow. Willow is good." Faith's tongue found their mark. "Oh… Ahhhhhh! Faith… It is Willow."
The brunette looked up, "Yeah, I know." Then she leaned back to her task.
"Buffy, you can cut out the act now." *Jeez! What is she dense?!… unless this is some kind of kinky sex game.* Willow blushed redder than her hair color.
"No… I don't understand that question Willow." Buffy dug her nails into Faith's shoulder.
"Oww! Bbot that hurt."
"Buffy, listen to me. She knows. Now we've got bigger problems here. If you guys could take a break and come to give me a hand, I'd really appreciate it." Willow sounded irritated.
"Ohhhh…kay." Buffy felt Faith slide a finger inside of her. "Okay Willow. You are my friend. Goodbye now."
"Buf.. Buf!" Then Willow heard the dial tone. She hung up the phone giving a very mild curse.
