I just luv it when they luv each other.

[ally02]

Okey dokey, finally got down to replies to the greatly appreciated replies!!



MissQuirky - Glad Im not too evil lol. Well I'm not going to give anything away about the telling Buffy thing and when the 5 weeks come to an end...just letting u know that its going to be cliffhanger city mwohahaha...then i will be more than a little evil lol.



fairydust - Ahhh yes the first I love you is great...unless it ends with "but..." lol Very glad you loved this update oh and your shameless self promotion paid off and I went and visited your very cool site he he. And the dummy that dumped me *sobs* well she was kinda justified due to umm...ahem...drunken cheating. But it was only once and with a straight girl and I begged for forgiveness until my face went blue but all I got back was a slap in the face...oh well plenty more fish in the sea and all that jazz. *sigh* And yes the flying 3 headed monkey is very annoying when ur just trying to update and he's just there flapping around. Ok im gonna stop rambling now.



Made in NZ - Yes rented shoes are so sexy...ahem maybe not. And the whole Mike Ken thing...yep that was u imagining things....or u know maybe it was my bad writing skills...yep that seems more likely lol



foreverpiper - I know they are...especially if the break someones foot and then they have to go to hospital...hypothetically speaking of course. Yay I got 2 excellents he he. I love the "I love yous" as well. Just remember those swoony moments when u read the next two updates k. Oh how evil am I!! And the Mike/Ken thing...umm ooops. Lol well flying monkeys can be tricky I tells ya.



tkheaven - lol You were still talking about the bowling balls right?? Sorry thats the dirty mind kicking in!! Glad you liked the update even though it took a while lol Wont let it happen again...even though I kinda did as I still havent updated yet...but I will now!



Nath - Heya. Yep i bet the girls will be swooning over me soon...anytime now...waiting...ok well I better reply and wait for them to show up. And yes I should put them in a tutu...you know if its possible, I think you are more crazy than me!! Na thats not possible! Yeah and thats never happened to you...sure sure! And I am a sweet kinda gal lol. And yes she is a bad cousin but what would you expect of her when she has a lovely man to drool over...ahem that was sarcasim by the way, no offense lol. Yeah Pacey was better for her but I only concentrated on the Jen parts *drool* I have her autograph la la la. But then it got all boring and I stopped watching it as I had to pause and look up what they were saying in my dictionary to understand what the hell they were saying!! "Is the proposition of monogamy such a jurrasic notion!?" Who the hell talks like that?! Ok I think this reply was pretty huge so I'll shut up now.



vix84 - Awww thank you. Well your praying paid off...but u probably guessed I wouldnt keep our girls apart for too long. And when Buffy finds out, it should be pretty interesting and may add the whole dislike of her I have built up through the story lol...ok now im giving stuff away so im gonna shut up.



Scout - Well its true! They were supposed to be like 16/17 and even Jen who used to be a big slut in New York talked like that!! I think they must have a pocket thesauras...or however u spell it...I cant even say it let alone say it!! And I would never be THAT evil and let Tara run out...ok maybe I would but not this time lol. Well the next chaps should be fairly frustrating as I am going to drop my trademark cliffhangers everywhere so be prepared lol.



Xita - Glad you liked the update!! Thanks so much for the reply...its better than an update lol. And I dont think my life will get uncomplicated for a long period of time lol. Oh but I am less stressed cos I passed my Psychology assesment *happy dance* But the pass mark was 14 and I got umm 14 but still. I'll try and update very soon.



Mocha Fiend22 - Lol well thats lucky, I would probably break half the pins. I did play my friend who went to bowling classes for like a year and I beat him...HA HA HA!! He wasnt very impressed lol.



Lonewolf - Yeah I wish I had been taught like that, instead it was my mum screaming at me telling my to stand behind the line and swing...wot did she think I was doing?? *sigh* And thanks for the dumping sympathy...oh well at least I can be guilt free about drooling over all the lovely girls in Aberdeen...who are few and far between lol. Only kidding to anyone who actually lives here lol.



Ange - Well they will have a lot more time alone soon...but not in the way you think mwohahahaaa!! How cryptic am I?? Very glad you liked the update.



Raspberry Hat - Oh yay glad it was worth that extended length of time. Awww to your awww and more soon.



TareBearRS - Awww thanks. Glad it was sweet and didnt make u fall asleep with boredom...thats always a plus lol.



Puff Heya! Lol well I have never seen someone do that! I have seen someone use those metal things where u just let it roll down into the alley, well it rolled backwards and broke their foot. I was very sympathetic...after I was done with the laughing lol.



TheWhiz - I think it was about time they told each other how they felt. Glad you liked it!



Thanatopsis - Yep time alone is definately of the good, I was trying to think of a way to get rid of Buffy without, you know, killing her lol. Glad you liked the update!



Mollyig - Yeah I think that they needed to both realise what they were missing when they werent together. Its weird how u get ur feelings in order when ur not with the person...or maybe I am just weird and that is another one of my many weird things...and of course rolling down hills yesterday. Very glad you liked the update!



the vamp nurd - Very few words and pics but I totally get what you mean lol.



Celia - Yay glad I managed to do the first "I love you" well. And I think when u cant stop thinking about someone and everything else becomes meaningless...thats when u know ur in love. *sigh* Well Im not going to give anything away yet about whats going to happen at the end of the 5 weeks but it should be...interesting lol.



Grimaldi - Well I was trying to think of a place to take them that wasnt just the usual cinema or coffee. And it took a while but yes they expressed their love *sigh* By the way, love ur avatar. My mum bought me the top 100 sexiest women in FHM...I think thats proof that she has finally excepted her daughter is gay lol.



Grimmy - lol Glad you like it. Every fic I have wrote so far has been a "getting together one" cos they rule!! And I just loved being evil with the interupptions lol. Hope you continue to read and like the rest of the story.



Nika - Short and sweet...but oh so true he he.



Well I loved reading all ur replies, thanks so much. Going to update right now so I should have it posted tonight.



Peace and love,

Aly xxxx

Rating – PG-15



Disclaimer – Smelly Joss man and the bald thing owns everything.



Feedback- Yes please! Puppy dog eyes!!



Summary- Alternate universe where Buffy and Willow have finished their first semester at UCSD. During the long summer break, Buffy’s cousin comes to stay.



Notes – Ok this will probably suck and will be very cliché I guess but hey. And well it was gonna be fluffy bunnies but I’m not promising un-angst anymore, but there may not be umm well anyway, thoughts are in < >



Previously…



“Tara.” Willow tried to get the blonde to look at her but she wouldn’t. She pulled the girl down to kneel opposite her and the lifted her chin up, “Tara, I love you, so much.”



Tara smiled and finally made eye contact, “Really?”



“Of course I do. I wanted to tell you but…I was so scared, I didn’t know how you felt about me.” Willow said as she ran her hand through the blonde’s hair.



“I love you so much Willow, when you’re not with me, it feels like part of me is gone.”



Willow smiled and kissed the blonde gently, “I feel exactly the same.” She kissed the blonde’s cheek, “I love you.” And then the other, “I love you Tara MacLay.” She finally met the blonde’s mouth in a kiss that spoke more than words could.



… … … …



The bright sunshine and the twittering of birds woke Tara from her peaceful slumber. She blinked a few times to adjust to the light and looked at the clock <11.30? Guess last night really tired me out. >

Tara smiled as she looked down at Willow who had wrapped herself around Tara protectively. She moved the beautiful copper locks from Willow’s angelic face and simply sat taking in the beauty of her Willow. She felt the redhead stir and waited for her to open her eyes. Willow looked up at Tara and smiled, “You ever have the feeling you’re being watched?” she joked.



“Well if you go around looking so darn beautiful, what do you expect?” Tara giggled and gave the redhead her morning kiss.



They finally broke apart and Willow asked, “Did you sleep alright?”



“Like a log…oh except for a certain redhead shouting during the night and waking me up.”



Willow looked confused, “Huh?”



“Well I couldn’t make out what you were saying, but there was something about ‘fluffy rainbow penguins and a coffee sandwich’.” Tara laughed as Willow covered her red face with her hands.



When Willow had her embarrassment under control she looked back at the giggling blonde, “Guess I should have warned you about that huh?”



“I though it was cute.” Tara finished her statement by placing a quick kiss on Willows lips, “We better get dressed.” Tara said reluctantly.



“Yeah guess so.” Willow agreed, “But you know we could half the time of showering if we just went in together.” Willow smiled cheekily and dragged her nails up Tara’s thigh. Tara quickly jumped out of bed and pulled the redhead into the bathroom.



… … … …



After a good hour in the shower, Willow and Tara decided they better get dressed. Willow had just finished doing the last button on her shirt when the phone rang, “Hello?”



“Hey, its Buffy.”



“Oh hey…OH Hey! Tara stayed last night!” Willow said quickly as she realised that she hadn’t called the slayer to let her know.



Tara looked round from brushing her hair and mouthed ‘Buffy?’ to Willow who nodded in affirmation, “It’s okay, I wasn’t home either so…”



“Oh you were at Mike’s?”



“Yep, and I will tell you all about it at lunch!”



“Lunch?”



“Yep, I’ll be round in half an hour.”



“Okay…great.” Willow said with forced enthusiasm.



“Later Will.”



“Bye.”



Tara had finished tying up her hair and asked, “So was she mad?”



“No actually, she stayed at Mikes last night and she's going to tell us all about it at lunch.”



“Oh yay.” Tara said sarcastically and went and sat next to Willow on her bed. Willow was looking down at the floor in deep thought, “What’s up?”



Willow shook her head from her thoughts and looked up at Tara, “Nothing.”



Tara moved her hand to Willows knee, “You can tell me Will.”



Willow sighed, “Its just…what are we gonna do about Buffy, should we tell her?”



Tara looked down at the floor, “I don’t know how she would take it.”



“Me neither.” Willow agreed.



“I mean I want to tell her, I want everyone to know that you are mine, and that I love you.” Tara added quickly.



This made Willow smile, “I want that too. But…”



“What?” Tara prodded.



“Well, you’ve got to go home soon, what are we going to do then?” Willow asked the question that had been bottled up inside both girls. As much fun as they were having now, they both had the looming realisation that their time together was going to end in just a couple of weeks.



“I don’t know.” Tara said simply. They sat for a while, just looking at each other and realising that if they had to be apart, it would kill them both.



Willow eventually broke the silence, “Let’s not think about it now, I have you right now and that’s what’s important.” Willow didn’t want what little time she had left with the blonde to be spoiled by worrying over the future. Tara smiled at Willow and leaned in to kiss her tenderly. Gradually their kiss became more passionate and Willow reluctantly broke away, “Okay, if we don’t stop then Buffy is going to walk in on something which may cause her to pass out.”



Tara giggled and nodded in agreement, “You’re right, even after a whole night of you, its still not enough, I can never get enough of you.”



“I know what you mean.” Willow agreed and was going to kiss Tara again when she heard Buffy knocking at the door.



… … … …



Willow and Tara were sitting in The Espresso Pump listening to Buffy ramble on in great detail about her night with Mike. They both shared equal looks of disinterest and mostly concentrated on giving each other quick glances.



Willow was running over the script from The Matrix in her head when she felt a familiar Tara leg rubbing the back of her ankle. Willow jumped slightly at the contact and turned to Tara who sat looking completely innocent. Willow felt the Tara-leg begin to get more adventurous as it rubbed up and down the back of Willow’s thigh. Willow gripped her coffee cup a little tighter and tried to focus on what Buffy was saying.



Tara was enjoying torturing Willow and felt the redhead respond a little by rubbing her leg against her own. Tara was amazed that Buffy was completely oblivious to both her and Willow’s flushed expressions and the movement going on underneath the table.



Buffy continued to ramble on until she saw a familiar face walking towards them, “Xander!”



Willow and Tara quickly snapped their legs back when Xander walked over to the table, “How's all my girls.”



“We’re good, I was just telling Willow and Tara about Mike.” Buffy said happily.



Xander turned to Willow, “And I bet you were as interested as I was after hearing about it for three hours on the phone.”



Willow laughed a little and Buffy playfully slapped Xander on the arm, “It is interesting.”



Xander held his arm where he had been ‘playfully slapped’, “Yeah it is and…OW!”



“It wasn’t that hard!” Buffy said.



“Don’t worry Xander, I know how you feel,” Tara started, “She used to ‘toy fight’ with me when we were little and well I always came out black and blue.”



Willow glared at Buffy, “You meanie!”



“Well it wasn’t my fault!” Buffy offered.



“Oh yeah use that whole ‘its my duty’ thing again.” Xander said then noticed Willow and Buffy’s wide eyes and Tara’s confusion, “Oh yeah cos she’s like ‘its my duty to go to the gym’ she’s a total gym freak.” Tara looked a little less confused and laughed a little whilst Willow and Buffy breathed a sigh of relief.



“So are we Bronzing it tonight?” Xander asked, quickly trying to change the subject.



“Yep, I think it’s about time I took Tara there.” Buffy said and smiled at Tara.



“The where?”



“The Bronze, it’s a club.” Willow offered.



“Oh ok, sure I’ll go.”



“Cool, Wills?” Xander asked.



“Yeah I’ll go.” < Wherever Tara goes, I follow.>



… … … …



Tara sat next to Buffy on the couch in the Bronze. She looked round at the crowd of unfamiliar faces and felt very uncomfortable. Xander and Anya were getting their dance on and Willow still hadn’t turned up. Buffy was looking around the crowd hoping to spot Mike.



Tara noticed Buffy looking for someone, “Who you looking for?”



“Mike, he was supposed to be here.”



“Oh okay, when’s Willow coming?”



“Oh she’ll be here soon.” Buffy said absently and smiled when she saw Mike walking up to the couch. She jumped up and hugged him then they kissed furiously with over zealous use of tongue. Tara turned away when she felt her stomach lurch at the sight. < Willow, please be here soon. >



Tara was glad that the Buffy/Mike smoochfest was over and Buffy made her way back to the couch, “We’re gonna dance, wanna come?”



“Umm,” Tara looked out on to the crowded dance floor, “No it’s alright.”



“You be okay?”



“Yeah I’ll be fine.”



With that, Mike and Buffy went to grind on the dance floor.



Tara looked impatiently at her watch. She felt someone step behind her and turned to see Willow. She grinned happily and Willow matched her smile, “Well what’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?” Willow asked.



“Waiting for a redhead goddess to show up!”



Willow smiled and went to sit next to Tara, “Sorry I’m late.” They both moved in to kiss each other then stopped when they realised that they were in a public place, “So you having fun?” Willow asked, trying to relieve the tension.



“Oh yeah.” Tara said sarcastically.



Willow looked over the dance floor and saw Buffy and Mike in full swing and Anya and Xander making out under the stairs, “Well its good to know you have good company.” Willow said and glared at her friends who had left Tara out.



“I do now.” Tara said and Willow smiled.



… … … …



After a few dances with Willow and a few disgusting displays of affection from Buffy and Mike, Tara was more than a little bored. The only thing that was keeping her going was Willow, but now Willow had been dragged away by Mike to dance after Tara had refused a few thousand times. Tara wanted to rip off the man’s head as he openly leered down Willow’s top and admired her slender form. Buffy seemed oblivious as she was eyeing up other nice guys. < Well its good to know they have such a steady relationship. >



Tara got Buffy’s attention and asked, “Do you mind if I head back now?”



Buffy didn’t want to leave but couldn’t let Tara walk alone home in Sunnydale, “Are you sure, I mean its still early.”



“Its okay, I can walk back myself.”



Willow managed to wrench herself from Mike and made her way back over to the seating area and sat next to Tara, “Well that was fun.” She said sarcastically.



“Will, do you mind walking Tara back?” Buffy asked.



“No problem.” Willow smiled and led Tara out of the Bronze.



… … … …



Willow and Tara walked out of the Bronze, glad to get out of there. They rounded a corner and made their way down the lamp-lit street. They walked in silence, neither knowing what to say, but enjoying the company of the other.



“So did you enjoy your dance with Mike?” Tara asked.



“Uh no way, what is Buffy doing with that guy?”



Tara laughed a little, “Well I was going to kill him if he drooled over you anymore!”



“You don’t have to worry about some skanky man!” Willow said before taking Tara’s hand in her own.



They walked a little further and Tara noticed Willow looking around her anxiously, “Is something wrong?”



“I don’t know, I think we should speed up, there’s some weird people around.” Willow said before quickening their pace.



Suddenly a bulky vampire stepped out in front of them, “Got that right little girl.”



Tara looked at Willow in panic and was surprised to see that the girl didn’t look as petrified as she was. Tara looked behind them and saw that there were three other….things. She spun round again and noticed that another two had appeared in front of them.



Willow felt her heart race at a million miles an hour and she gripped Tara’s hand tightly. The bulky vampire, who was undoubtedly the leader of the little gang, began circling them, “Well what do we have here, the slayer’s friend and family. Well I guess it’s my lucky day.”



He stepped in front of Willow and leaned in to her face. She looked straight back at him, trying to hide her fear, “Well I wouldn’t call that lucky, it just means that when Buffy will kick your ass harder.”



The leader stood there for a few moments before bellowing with laughter, the rest of the gang laughed and then stopped when the leader roughly punched Willow in the face and she went reeling to the pavement.



“Willow!” Tara shouted and tried to get to her lover to make sure she was okay. As she went to see her, another vampire grabbed her from behind and tilted her head.



The leader vampire roughly pulled Willow up from the ground. Willow looked wide-eyed as she saw the vampire leaning over Tara’s neck. The leader whispered in Willow’s ear, “We only need to keep one of you around, the other one can be a little gift.”



Willow watched in horror as the vampire bared his fangs and moved to bite Tara’s neck.

Hope there will be more soon!!

Tara: I said quirky.

Ooh - great cliffhanger. Don't leave us hanging too long. And Buffy's with Mike? Won't Ken be upset?

Do you know what you are?? Evil I say Evil!! You just can't leave it like that!! I still love you anyways. Well I love your storys cause I really don't know you. I should stop talking before I dig myself in a bigger hole. And MadienNZ is right what happened to Ken did he get dumped already?? Poor guy.

Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstacy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we can live without passion maybe we'd know some peace. But we'd be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered, and dank, With out passion we'd truly be dead. ANGEL in "Passion"

[mocha fiend 22]

*please use both hands....*

“Willow!” Tara shouted and tried to get to her lover to make sure she was okay. As she went to see her, another vampire grabbed her from behind and tilted her head.



The leader vampire roughly pulled Willow up from the ground. Willow looked wide-eyed as she saw the vampire leaning over Tara’s neck. The leader whispered in Willow’s ear, “We only need to keep one of you around, the other one can be a little gift.”



Willow watched in horror as the vampire bared his fangs and moved to bite Tara’s neck.



… … … …



Tara struggled and screamed as the thing lowered its head to her neck. She felt the tips of its teeth touch her skin, but suddenly, the vampire halted his movements. Tara looked up and gasped when she saw that Willow’s eyes had turned completely black and she was shaking violently within the leader’s grasp.



The leader vampire looked at Willow confused, then before he could make a move, Willow held her hand to his chest and he was launched against a wall. The vampire holding Tara realised he was next and quickly threw Tara to the ground and began to run. He didn’t get very far as the magic induced redhead threw a ball of light at him and he exploded to dust.



The leader had recovered and was motioning for the rest of the vamps to make on a move on Willow. However, they didn’t have to as Willow felt the energy drain from her body and she collapsed to the ground unconscious.



… … … …



Buffy and Xander were walking happily back to Buffy’s house. They made their way up the path and Buffy unlocked the door. They were both surprised to see that Willow and Tara were not up talking as usual.



“Hello?” Buffy called out.



Joyce wandered sleepily down the stairs, “Buffy? Where’s Tara?”



Buffy shared a worried look with Xander, “She’s not here?”



Joyce looked back at her daughter wide-eyed, “Okay, that cant be good.”



“She could be at Wills.” Xander offered.



“Right, I’ll call her.” Buffy said before picking up the phone.



… … … …



Tara sat on the cold stone floor with Willow’s head lying in her lap. She looked around the empty room, trying to see any possible way out. A few tears rolled down her cheek’s and she continued running her hand through Willow’s hair, “Willow, please wake up sweetie.” She said before leaning down and kissing the girl’s forehead.



… … … …



Buffy defeatedly hung up the phone after she had let it ring about fifty times, “She’s not home? Where are they? God, if something happened to them…”



“Hey, we’ll sort this, we’ll find them. We need to go see Giles.” Xander said.



“Right, mom you stay here incase they call or show up.” Buffy said before heading out the door with Xander in tow.



… … … …



“I don’t see why we don’t just kill them.” The vampire said as he watched his master pace round the room.



The vampire stopped pacing and leaned against a wall and coolly lit a cigarette, “Because you ninny, we need a plan for once. We have the bait, slayer meets us to get said bate, then we’ll have her.”



The rest of the vamps laughed evilly and smiled at each other at the prospect of Slayers blood.



… … … …



“So they’re not at Willows?” Giles asked, trying to get some solid information from her panicked and rambling slayer.



“Look, I told you! They’re not at home, at Wills, anywhere!” Buffy said agitated.



“Right, we need to calm down and think of places they could be.”



“Giles, this is Sunnydale; while we waste times doing that, they could be dead.”



“Point taken, we’ll hit the streets.” Giles said before grabbing some weapons.



They were halfway out the door when the phone rang. They all snapped their heads round at the sound and Giles moved quickly to answer it, hoping to hear Willow or Tara on the other end, “Hello?” he asked hopefully.”



“Mr.Giles, its Joyce. Can I speak to Buffy?”



“Ah yes of course Joyce.”



Giles handed the phone to Buffy, “Mom?”



“Buffy, something happened. Someone threw a brick through the window with a note on it for you.”



“Are you okay?” Buffy asked worried.



“I’m fine, a bit shaken.”



“What does the note say?”



“Slayer, meet me at the graveyard at midnight if you want to see your two friends again. Come alone.”



“Okay good, that means they should still be alive.”



“I hope so.”



… … … …



Tara had fallen asleep and was awoken when she felt Willow stir in her lap. She looked down and could see the redhead trying to open her eyes, “Willow? Sweetie?”



Willow tried to ignore the huge pounding in her head so that she could open her eyes. She could hear Tara’s sweet voice calling her and that was enough for her to force her eyes open at look up at the blonde.



“Hey.” Willow said, her voice thick with sleep.



Tara smiled and cried a few happy tears, “Oh thank god you’re alright.”



Willow managed to sit up so she could hug her girlfriend tightly. When she pulled back, she looked around the dank room, “Where are we?”



… … … …



“Buffy you can’t.” Xander said as Buffy grabbed a few stakes and shoved them inside her jacket.



“I can and I am.” She said as she made her way to the door.



“Buffy, I have to agree with Xander, it’s too risky.” Giles said.



“Look, Willow and Tara’s lives are at stake here, I can’t risk bringing you along with me.” She affirmed before slamming the door shut behind her.



… … … …



Willow was banging her body against the door in a feeble attempt to get out. Tara watched hopelessly and moved over to her lover, placing a hand on her back to halt her actions, “Willow, it’s no use.”



Willow held her palm to her throbbing head, “I have to try something.”



“You should sit down, you don’t look too good.” Tara said gently.



Willow turned round and snapped, “Well thank you for stating the obvious.”



Tara let her hand drop to her side and looked away hurt. Willow kicked herself internally and quickly took a comforting hold of the blonde’s hands, “I’m sorry, I’m just stressed and all throbby head.”



Tara looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, “Willow, I’m so scared. I don’t know what’s happening, who those people are…what you did before.”



Tara began crying and Willow held her until the tears subsided, “I’m so sorry.” She pulled back, “I think I should explain everything.”



… … … …



Buffy stood beside the Anderson crypt on her guard for anything approaching. She snapped her head round in front of her when she heard someone approach. She groaned when she recognised the chain-smoking bleached vampire who came strolling towards her confidently.



“Spike.”



“Blondie, long time no see.”



“I should have guessed that you were behind this lameness.”



“Things are different this time,” Spike flicked the butt of his cigarette to the side, “I’ve got smart.”



“Not possible.” Buffy said, “So lets see if I can guess your fool-proof plan. You get some of your minions to capture my best friend and my cousin. Then you lock them in, lets see, the old factory maybe? You ask me to come here and get about three lame vamps to stand behind me so they can assist you in killing me.”



Spike shrugged, “Well yeah that was the plan.”



The three vamps launched their attack on Buffy. The slayer whipped out her stakes and went about staking them all in record time before Spike even had a chance to land a single punch on her. When she was done, she grabbed the blonde vamp by the throat and held him roughly against the tomb.



Spike rolled his eyes, “Bugger.”



“Take me to them.”



“Yeah right, like I’m gonna…OW okay okay!”



… … … …



“So Buffy is like Superwoman?”



“I guess so.”



“And you’re a witch?”



“Uh-huh.” Willow said as she chewed her lip nervously and looked at the dumbfounded blonde sitting opposite her.



“Okay, well that explains a lot.” Tara said before starting to giggle. After a while she was laughing uncontrollably.



Willow looked on confused, “Okay that’s not good.”



Tara controlled her laughter, “I’m sorry, I just needed to laugh for some reason. It’s all so weird.”



“So you’re not too freaked?”



“No, not really. I mean, I knew there was something odd about this town. It just scares me a little, seeing you like that, scared me a lot.”



“I've never been like that before. I guess it was the thought of loosing you.”



Tara pulled Willow onto her lap, “Willow, you will never loose me. I will always love you, my love is like a part of you now, like yours is a part of me. So long as we have our love, we’ll never be apart.”



Willow felt herself getting choked up, “That’s beautiful.”



“You’re beautiful.” Tara said before kissing Willow gently. She was pleasantly surprised when Willow deepened the kiss. Willow moaned and wrapped her arms tighter around the blonde.



They both swiftly broke apart when a voice cut the air, “Bloody hell!”

Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstacy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we can live without passion maybe we'd know some peace. But we'd be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered, and dank, With out passion we'd truly be dead. ANGEL in "Passion"
