The next day came when Riley saw his daughter Willow headed towards the town gate.

"Daughter," Riley said, "why are you headed towards the town gate?"

"I'm going out into the countryside," Willow said. "To see Tara Frost's work before anyone spoils it."

"You are so romantic, Willow," Buffy said. "Find yourself a good solid wife and settle down."

"I will when my slayer in golden armor comes," Willow said.

"Slayers," Riley asked, "aren't you in love with anybody yet?"

"Only Tara Frost," Willow said.

When Tara heard this - pardon me but one thing you must know is Tara is invisible to all of the humans - she was very happy. Tara fallowed Willow to the ice skating rink. Willow was skating with all of her animal friends - you know, ducks, otters, beavers... Willow's family had two pets, a duck and dog - when she heard the clanking of an iron horse. It was none other then Clankstomper, and Spike on his back.

"Good shortcut Clankstomper, "Spike said. "The water's hard." But the weight of the iron horse and the heat of the horse's boiler caused the ice to melt into chunks.

"Help, help!" Willow said. "Why doesn't the Author send someone to help me?"

"Oh, all right," the Author said. Tara snapped out of her daydream and flew over to help.

"Halt!" Tara yelled, and all of a sudden the waterfall froze in place and Willow made it safely to the ground.

"Oh that was fun," Willow giggled. "Tara Frost, not only are you a winter wiccan, you're a hero!"

Well when Tara heard this she knew she had to be human, and that made her happy and sad at the same time. So Tara flew off to her home in the sky...
