"You have to concentrate." Will did as his Aunt instructed but lost it when his sister walked in.
"Alexis! Don't you ever knock?!"
Willow smiled, Alexis reminded her of Buffy so much even picked up some nasty traits to boot. Will was upset that his first spell was distracted, "Will, its okay, you have to account for these mishaps." But there was no calming him down,
"She does this all the time. Always coming around where she's not wanted. I hate her! I wish I never had a sister!"
Alexis' eyes teared and ran out of the room crying.
"That wasn't very nice."
"Aunt Willow it's not fair. No matter what I have to share it with her. If I don't Mom yells at me."
"Honey, just like you, Alexis is just as curious."
"Well for once I want something completely my own."
Alexis sat crying on the front steps when her father heard
her. "Honey what's wrong?" He wrapped his long arm around her and
held her close as she cried into his shirt. It hurt him to see her
like this, she was so much like his wife, and he couldn't bear to see
her in pain.
"Aunt Willow is teaching Will how to practice magic and I ain't aloud too."
"Ain't is not a word." Hoping his grammatical correction would steer her off the subject. When it came to magic it was a dangerous subject. Willow alone has done her damage in time while learning it. He would have to talk her out of teaching Will. His daughter still sat crying. He crooked a finger under her chin and lifted it up so that their eyes met. "Is this that important to you?"
She nodded her head and adding the classic pout that she watched her Mother do all those times to get her way.
<Damn, why did she have to go and do that?> that pout was the classic, Summer's pout, he always lost against it. Of all the things to inherit! He thought it over in his mind and decided. "You know sweetheart, I used to practice heavily into magic, when I was a few years older then you."
She perked up hoping to hear what she thought he was gonna say next.
<It's a lot safer if I taught her then Willow did.> He justified to himself before going on. "I suppose I could teach you."
Before he knew it there were arms wrapped tightly around him, "Thank You Daddy, Thank You! Thank You!"
He noted how exuberant his daughter was, "However, you will listen to what I tell you at all times, no practicing on your own, you breach this and I will no longer teach you, do you understand?"
She nodded her head.
"Alright, lets take a look at some of the more basic stuff." He held out his hand to her, but she sprang up from her spot and was already a few steps ahead of him, leading the way.
