“This is so cool!” Willow was practically vibrating in place.
“Wills, it’s a tree,” Xander teased.
“It’s the Goshinboku,” she stressed.
Buffy indulged her. “Okay, Wills. Enlighten us. What‘s the deal with this Gosh‘n‘bok thing?”
“Go-shin-boku,“ Willow corrected. “Legend says that a priestess, the protector of a sacred jewel, the Shikon no Tama, pinned her lover, a half-demon, to this sacred tree because she thought he’d betrayed her. But really, they’d been tricked by this really evil demon who was jealous of their love and wanted the jewel for himself. The priestess died and everyone thought that would be the end of it but the bad-guy was still around and years later she was reincarnated and she freed the half-demon. They went on a quest with a wise monk and a strong slayer, defeated the bad-guy, and their love was stronger than ever!” Willow chirped with good cheer.
“Wow, Willow! Breathe,” Xander instructed.
Buffy looked wistfully at the tree with new appreciation. “Nice story,” she murmured.
Willow and Xander shared her pensive mood for a moment.
“Happy ending though,” Xander added brightly, trying to bring their spirits up despite knowing that things were never that simple.
Buffy and Willow smiled.

“Why do we even try anymore?” Buffy questioned with only slightly feigned despair.
“We’re obscenely optimistic?” Willow offered.
“Or just really really stupid,” Xander groaned.
“It’s Japan,” Willow pouted. “Nothing hellmouthy should happen in Japan.”
“It’s the land of Godzilla,” Xander argued as if that was all the needed to be said.
Maybe it was.
“That’s it. No more vacations. They all end like this,” Buffy shook her head.
“Threatening and being threatened by cute, furry-eared half-demons and then joining them to destroy really evil, tentacle-y demons? Not to mention the time traveling--through a well into Feudal Japan,” Willow paused, contemplating the weight of her words. “Is this my life?” she inquired with bewilderment.
“Sounds like your life. Sounds like our lives. God, when did this become our lives?” Xander whined.
Buffy patted her friends and waited patiently for her turn to freak out.
The ‘cute, furry-eared half-demon’ snarled. “Oi! We don’t need your help! You can go back to Kagome’s time or stop whining!”
Kagome glared. “Inuyasha! Don’t be rude to people who are trying to help us! SIT!”
The glow of beads hurled the half-demon to the ground.
“Even watching that is no longer fun,” Xander lamented.

Challenge: #17: Shakespeare
Word Count: 200

“How about Shakespeare? Have you met him? Can we go see him?” Willow inquired with blatant curiosity and barely restrained glee.
The Doctor blushed and pulled at his ear. “Well, yes. I’ve met the man but really he’s not all that interesting--”
“He’s deflecting!” Xander crowed.
“And blushing. I smell a story,” Buffy sing-songed.
“Look, it was nothing. Went with Martha, met the man, heflirtedwithme, defeated some wi--ah some Carrionites and got chased by the Queen‘s guards. Boring, really. Should go meet…what about Bram Stoker?” He babbled at a speed that impressed Willow as he started to flip levers and mess with the console.
Buffy glared. “You want me to meet the man who wrote Dracula,” her tone was forbidding and one-hundred percent Slayer.
Willow pouted. “But-but Shakespeare.” She added in the woeful, watery eyes.
Xander smirked before laughter shook his frame and he collapsed on the metal grilling that made up the TARDIS interior. “Shakespeare hit on you!” he howled as he pointed.
The girls tried not to but they soon joined him with their own peals of delighted giggles.
The Doctor sighed, feigning annoyance, but regarded the trio fondly as their mirth filled the silent room with joy.
