Chapter 7 by ThomasMoro ThomasMoro

What happens next?

Kennedy's choice (Well, we could call it Amy's choice but you know...)

"Damn it, Kennedy!" cried Willow. "I always suspected that you would someday move on to someone else but why did you have to pick her?"

And with that, she pointed to Kennedy's current lover Amy Madison who just smiled and said, "Well, actually I picked her."

"Why?" asked Willow.

"Well, the two of us traveled a lot and we've shared a lot of rough times together," said Amy. "Plus, you know, a girl has needs."

Willow decided to ignore Amy and turned to Kennedy. "How could you choose her of all people after that damn spell she cast on me? The one that made me see you as Warren -- the guy who shot Tara?"

"Because she is not that Amy," said Kennedy. "She is a different Amy. This Amy never turned herself into a rat. This Amy never introduced you to Rack. This Amy never tried to get you hooked on black magic. Plus this Amy helped me save Buffy in another timeline. You remember Buffy, don't you?"

"Oh, God!" cried Anya. "Here we go again. Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. That's all you people ever talk about! What's wrong with a little Anya talk every once in a while? Like 'way to go, Anya! You really helped us out with that Glory!' Or 'kudos to you, Anya! You really helped us slow down Dark Willow!'"

"Hey, you think that's something?" said Cordelia. "You should hear how rarely they say anything nice about me."

Willow ignored Anya and Cordelia and instead said, "Yes, I remember Buffy. But still... Choosing Amy Madison over me?"

"I did not choose her over you," said Kennedy. "It just happened. Besides, let's be real. Even before I started traveling with Amy, you weren't really happy with me. I was just a way to make you forget Tara. I was always going to be competing for your attention with the ghost of Tara and quite frankly it was only a matter of time before I threw in the towel and let Tara win. Amy just gave me a positive reason to do so."

"So what happened to your clothes, Willow?" asked Amy. "Please don't tell me that you got turned into a rat too."

"Of course, I didn't," said Willow. "I've been naked like this ever since I came down here. I don't know why. Everyone else here is dressed. It's like the Powers That Be singled me out for some special punishment."

"Well, you did try to destroy the world," said Anya.

"I kinda wish you people would stop bringing that up," said Willow.

"Well, it did happen," said Anya.

"But I never went through with it," said Willow.

"Only because Xander talked you out of it," said Anya.

"But I wasn't really myself," said Willow.

"Then who were you?" asked Anya.

"Stop asking stupid questions, Anya," said Willow. "I don't pass judgment on your past misdeeds."

"And yet just a few moments ago, you were willing to judge me for things that I have never done," said Amy. "Damn it, Willow! I thought we were friends!"

"Well, in all fairness, Amy, you did cast that love spell on her," said Cordelia.

"Well, yes, but not intentionally," said Amy.

"Wait, you cast a love spell on Willow?" asked Kennedy. "How come you never told me about this?"

"It's not what you think," said Amy. "It was something Xander wanted me to do for him."

At this point, Anya hit Xander.

"Why the hell did you ask Amy to cast a love spell on your friend Willow?" she asked.

"It wasn't for Willow," said Xander. "It was for Cordelia. And for some reason, it backfired and affected every female in the area except for Cordelia. Even Amy."

"I see," said Anya with a cold look in her eye.

"Anyway, Willow's mom tried to burn me at the stake," said Amy.

"She did?" asked Anya. "Why?"

"Because I was a witch," said Amy.

"That doesn't sound fair," said Anya.

"Of course, it wasn't fair," said Willow. "And for what it's worth, she tried to burn me too. And Buffy too."

"Oh, Buffy again," said Anya, rolling her eyes.

Willow replied, "But in my mom's defense, she only did it because at the time, she was being influenced by a d -- "

"By a what?" asked Anya.

"By a -- er -- you know -- bad thing," said Willow.

"You mean a demon?" asked Anya with a hard expression in her eyes.

"Okay, it was a demon," said Willow. "And please, Anya, no more lectures about good demons and bad demons."

"Because I'm one of the good ones?" asked Anya with a sarcastic tone.

"Well, in all fairness, it's not like you run into good demons every day," said Willow.

And then, just like that, another figure appeared in the cave. It looked like Amy Madison but had coal-black hair and wore a black dress.

"Cool!" the newcomer cried. "So this is what the afterlife looks like!"

"Who the hell are you?" asked the original Amy. "And why are you here?"

The new Amy pointed to a slash in the middle of her chest that looked suspiciously like a sword wound and said, "Hey! I just died, silly. Why wouldn't I end up here?"

"But you look like me," said Amy.

"Well, that's because I am you. I'm just you from a different timeline," said Amy. "One in which I got to work with her." And with that, she pointed to Anya.

"You mean you're a vengeance demon?" asked Anya.

"Used to be, unfortunately," said black-haired Amy.

"Then why did you end up here?" asked Xander.

Black-haired Amy shrugged and said, "Just lucky, I guess."
