I think this bit is a prologue. The proper chapter 1 will be out before 12pm England time, it would be sooner but my sister wants the laptop sorry.

"W-Willow are sure this is going to work?" Tara asked as her lover knelt in front a small cauldron. Pink smoke was already rising from the pot, it formed the only light aside the Christmas lights in Tara's dark dorm room.

"Well I was sure the last few time we tried this so no probably not," the redhead shook her head. Tara and Willow had tried to make the de-ratting Amy attempts as often as possible. Any time one of them had a new idea they tested it out the first night they could, because surely the life of a rat was no life at all for someone whose known human life. Willow was certain Amy gnawned at the plastic wheel from frustration after all these months. It was that thought which kept her determined to find new ways of turning her back. This latest one was from a book Giles had intended to put on the shelves at the Magic Box. Willow had swiped it, of course paid for it, before Giles even had time to look at it himself.

She pour a bottle of water into the pot which immediately began to boil it without a heat source. Coloured steam was quickly release but it felt cool against her face. Tara stood anxiously at a distance, watching Willow as reached into the Amy's cage and picked up the brown rat despite her protests. Amy was then place into the bubbling water with two paws resting against the edge to keep her up.

"Goddess Hecate, hear my plea. Return her form to human be-" the witch was cut off as Amy ran from her grasp and out of the pot. Taking her place Miss Kitty Fantastico had pounced, missing the rat but ending up face first in the pot of water, "Miss Kitty!" screamed the witch.
