Willow sat on the library table Indian style blowing bubbles at the stacks of books around her. Ozwolf growled from the cage obviously bored with watching her blow the silly things around and him not being able to chase them.. or her. She grinned and sipped her tea, it was only three am. Two more hours to go before Oz was her lovable Boyfriend again. Although she was getting more and more comfortable with the little time she got to spend with him in wofly form, the wolf also seemed to be getting used to her. He hardly ever growled anymore unless she was making noise or not paying attention to him. She blew another stream of colorful bubbles around the library and smacked at the radio sitting next to her. The stupid thing she had found in Giles's office played nothing but oldies. Giles probably had it fixed just to annoy her, of course Ozwolf didn't seem to mind and she could survive.

Willow had to wonder if there was any part of Oz left in the wolf, if maybe he was buried deep inside there starring at her with the wolfs eyes. The wolf always seemed to look right at her, he didn't do that with anyone else.

"What are you thinking?" She asked the wolf not expecting a response but wanted to hear another human voice other then the drawling of some old guy. She sighed into her bubble wand and sent another stream into the air some floated into Oz's cage and he chased them around howling like they were some animal he had to hunt. Willow giggled as he caught one on his nose and sneezed then turned to glare at her "Sorry." she said then realized he couldn't understand her anyway.

Willow jumped when she heard a loud boom in the distance and then felt a tremor of the table 
underneath her. Ozwolf went nuts throwing himself against the cage and howling. Willow jumped down off the table and slide underneath it as the books shelves started shaking violently. She buried her head into her lap trying not to think of it as the whole earth seemed to 
tilt underneath her. Willow whimpered when she heard a loud crash as the book shelves toppled down sending books flying all around her. She watched in horror as the cage's doors came off the hinges Ozwolf didn't seem to notice he was to busy slamming himself against the other side but who knew how long that would last?

The shaking finally stopped and Willow crawled out from under the table and decided running would be a good thing. Oz was sniffing at the door he saw Willow get up and growled at her then threw himself at the door which caved in. Willow squeaked and jumped up on the table knocking her bottle of Bubbles to the ground where they spilled. Ozwolf trotted over to the spill 
and smelled it carefully, examining it. He looked up at Willow with red/green/gold eyes expectantly and jumped up on the table.

Willow stood stalk still, afraid to even breath as the large wolf moved towards her "Ok Oz.. if your in there... don't eat me?"

She said quietly and tried to back away nearly toppling off the table. She froze when the wolf sniffed at her hair and then whimpered and collapsed in her lap. Willow felt her eyebrow raise and she petted his head softly *he must have been as scared as I was* she thought and sat there for a long few minutes before Giles charged in he was out of breath and huffing "Willow... are you..."

He froze when he saw Oz look up at him "I... ah..." Willow grinned "Its ok, he's being... tame. I think he was scared by the earthquake Giles smiled and backed out slowly from the library not wanting to be eaten. Willow sat there petting Oz until he finally changed back.

He woke up naked in her lap, "Huh?"

-The End-
