Great update - shades of Lovers Walk (but with wonderful W/T smoochies). Guess it was a day of revelations.

Ally, that was sooo good. Tara's emotions, so sweet and genuine. Willow broke her news very sensitively.



This story just keeps getting better.



I was thinking, if you really are the queen of the cliffhanger, the 'worst' way you could end the story would be on the cliffhanger of how the five weeks do or don't end. Don't succumb to temptation! Please, pretty please...



But right now, I am thinking, how does Buffy find out... That's going to be fun!

Poor Tara must have been so worried about the unconscious Willow! So glad that she regained consciousness, and even better started telling the truth about what was going on in Sunnydale.

This just keeps getting better and better...



And now Buffy and Spike know! Well now...this could get interesting!

Ok leaving your storys where u do is possibly the most evil thing to do on this board!

[Lonewolf22]

ally02: Great update, I'm SO glad that Willow is OK, and I'm also glad that Willow told Tara everything about Buffy and the Scoobies. I never expected Spike to be behind the whole thing. I agree with everybody, very cool having Buffy and Spike find out about Willow and Tara, I'm dying find out about Buffy's reaction to the whole thing. I can't wait to read more.

Willow - Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs did ya?

Willow - I don't do wild. Wild on me equals spaz.

[MissQuirky]

Loved the update, Aly!! I'm glad W/T r all ok!! Ok now they got all the secrets bout Sunnydale and Buffy and everything out to Tara, now its all good cos they don't have to lie anymore!! Loved the lil moment they shared at the end and the smoochies but they had to get interupted! But it was Spike and Buffy right, so there safe! And thats good!



Can't wait 4 more!!

Willow: We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know... insane.
Tara: I said quirky.

[frau rosenclay]

That last bit of dialogue was simple beautiful. So romantic, without trying to hard, it felt true, and from the heart. That is the type of thing I love to read.

[Thanatopsis]

Very cool. This just gets better and better. Looking forward to more.

That was a great update.

[ally02]

Hello everyone, thank you for all ur replies, thought id be not so lazy and actually do individual ones I dont know when I'm going to update cos I am very ill *sniff* Also very niccotene deprived which is worse But I will try and update as soon as I am better



XWickedXWiccan - Well there should be lots of talkage in the next update which would involve the telling and stuff, but just be aware that Buffy may be hated afterwards



fairydust - YAY lots of smilies Awww lots of clapping as well he he



Taras Shadow - Thank you for the reply Probably be another update tommorow, cos WOOHOO no skool, but then im ill so i may be dieing in my bed



MadeinNZ - Yeah I stole some of Joss' work...but he stole Tara so I think we are even



raspberryhat - Aww thank you Im glad its getting better instead of worse lol Well that is a very evil thought of the ultimate cliffhanger, but I think everyone would order me to be kicked off the board after that!



mollyig - Well I could leave our Willow knocked out for too long, and I think it would be a bit hard to think of an excuse at that point when they were locked in a factory lol.



foreverpiper - Awww thank you It should get very interesting he he he.



Willow Rocks - Yeep sorry, I try not to, but its the voices in my head And I think the most evil thing you could do on this board is say: "I didnt want Tara to die, but I think it was necessary for the show's progression." *grumble grumble*



Lonewolf22 - Thank you, and dont worry i would never let Willow go in a coma or anything. Well Spike was just added in at the last minute as he is just sooo annyoying and I felt like getting Buffy to kick his ass again. Buffy's reaction should be very interesting and I will try and update very soon



Ange - Aww thank you soo much ( I know I say that a lot, I really need a thesauras...as soon as I can say it or spell it, I'll get one. ) Well I wont give away anything about the next chap, I will just try and get it posted as soon as possible



WillowPowered - Thank you! You wont have to hang for too long



MissQuirky - Thanks!! I know, im just so evil with interupptions. But at least its not by blood thirsty vamps, and yes it is Spike and Buffy lol I dont know if everyone got that, I was trying to do it subtly Didnt really work lol. More soon



frau rosenclay - Thank you. I didnt want to make it too deep and involved because I could never think of something poetic when I'm on the spot. I'm glad it worked though



Thanatopsis - Oh yay its getting better and not hurtling towars earth to crash and land in the huge bin of "bad fic" along with a few Tara/Joyce and Giles/Willow stories Anyway...more soon



TareBearRS - Thank you I love it when Spike gets beat up...must be something to do with my hate of him I'm also glad the dialogue at the end worked and didnt make anyone gag lol.



Well thank you once again for all ur replies. Feeling a little better now, hopefully update 2moro amongst my moutain of homework .



and love to you all

Aly xxxx

You all didnt happen to do a bunch of drugs did ya?

[Grimaldi]

loved the last two chapters, can't wait to see Buffy's reaction now that she knows about Willow and Tara.

Dude, we're surrounded by perverts!

Hey Aly, hope you feel better soon girl, and i must say how proud i am that you're giving up smoking, last thing we need is you getting lung cancer on us



Glad you decliffed us there nad got with some more W/T action in the factory, looks like Buffy's about to be filled in on a little information herself, Willow just seems to be in that secret telling mood Hope you feel better soon and waiting patiently or not so much for the next part



Cheers

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

[tkheaven]

WooHoo! Great Update! Did you mention something about Tara-leather

Tara was similarly riveted, her body on slow burn as Willow's lips parted and her mouth opened, the food slipping inside and being consumed.

Don't worry, there were absolutely no gaggy feelings around, that dialogue was beautifull.

[barnabasvamp]

Ally;

I am ashamed to admit that I am joining in on the begging for an update

[ally02]

Hey all,



Sorry I have been bad with the updateness but I have been rehearsing for a play (I'm a duck, a goose and a chicken...dont ask) and I have had lots of essays and assesments and I am still feeling a bit crappy. Promise to update as soon as possible because I miss writing my fic...not half as much as I miss reading all the fic on here...but anyway I will try and get my butt in gear for you all...and dont worry about the begging, I will beg for forgiveness and maybe a day or two to update



and love to u all

Aly xxxx

You all didnt happen to do a bunch of drugs did ya?

[saule77]

Grand, I'll beg too, so...

Always the same problem, isn't it? It's better to read than to write...



Hope you feel better soon. If anything, you know lots of Kittens are always happy to hear from you!

Chap – 14/?



Website – Plenty of Magic: http://www.plentyofmagic.cjb.net



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 < > -ANGST WARNING-





Previously…



“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!”



… … … …



Willow and Tara looked up at the blonde vampire with similar looks of fear. Their matching looks turned to confusion when they saw an opened-mouthed Buffy standing behind the vampire.



“Buffy!” Willow shouted and looked at Tara who looked equally confused.



Spike began laughing loudly, “Well who would have thought red would swing that way!”



Willow and Tara glared at Spike but Buffy still stood there trying to take in what she just saw. The past few weeks suddenly became a lot clearer. Willow and Tara’s closeness, Willow always offering to look after Tara for her and Tara’s over enthusiasm of Buffy dating Mike. < How could I have been so blind? >



“So can I go now Slayer?” Spike asked as he sparked up a cigarette.



Buffy glared at him but decided to let it go. She directed her glare at Willow and Tara and snapped, “We better go.”



Willow and Tara looked at each other worriedly. Willow grasped Tara’s hand briefly in comfort before following Buffy.



… … … …



Buffy power walked all the way, trying to hold her anger until she got home. Willow and Tara tried to keep up with Buffy, they both knew that she was angry. They could both tell it was going to get ugly as soon as they reached the Summer’s residence.



Buffy stormed up the path and unlocked the door, she motioned for Willow and Tara to step inside and then she slammed the door behind them. Tara went and sat on the couch whilst Willow stood awkwardly in the middle of the living room.



Buffy walked in and folded her arms, “So…”



“So.” Willow echoed.



“I think I deserve some sort of explanation.”



Willow looked at Tara, but the blonde’s gaze was directed at the carpet, “Well Tara and I…we’ve been seeing each other.”



“Well I think that’s fairly obvious.”



“Buffy we didn’t mean to hurt you, it’s just…”



“Didn’t mean to hurt me? Will, you lied to me! You made me think you were all happy to look after Tara but all you wanted was to have a smooch-fest. God, how could I have been so stupid!”



“Buffy it wasn’t like that…”



“What was it like? Will, you’re supposed to be my best friend! How could you do this?”



“Buffy this isn’t just Willow.” Tara said.



“I know, I just don’t think I understand what you guys are doing?”



Willow and Tara looked at each other confused, “Well uhhh…” Tara started.



“No I know ‘what’ your doing. I mean…well…you’re both girls!”



“So?” Willow challenged, starting to get a little angry herself at Buffy’s lame explanation.



“Ok well what’s gonna happen when Tara goes home?”



“We haven’t talked about it yet…” Tara started again.



Buffy sighed, “Look Wills, I think I better walk you home, its late and after the craziness, I think you better get some sleep.”



“Yeah okay.” Willow said.



“Tara you gonna be okay here by yourself?”



“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” Tara watched Willow and Buffy leave the house. When she heard the door click shut in the frame, she let her tears fall.



… … … …



Willow and Buffy walked in awkward silence back to Willow’s house. When they got there, Willow let Buffy in. For once, she was glad that her parents were not there. Buffy moved over to the couch and held her head in her hands in exasperation.



Willow stood in the doorway a while before she decided to speak, “Buffy, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Buffy looked up and let the redhead continue, “I’m not just lusting after Tara, I’m in love with her. I know its weird cos we’re both girls and all…”



“No Will, it doesn’t matter. I mean, I was in love with a vampire!”



Willow laughed a little and sat next to Buffy on the couch, “I’m sorry.”



“You don’t have to be sorry. I just wish you would have told me.”



“I was gonna, but it was scary.”



“I know, but there’s a but.”



“Tara’s leaving soon.”



“Yeah.”



“I don’t know what I’m gonna do Buffy, when I think of being without her…it rips me up inside.”



“You’ll figure it out.” Buffy said then hugged her friend tightly.



… … … …



Tara was sitting on the Summer’s couch feeling more than a little sorry for herself. < I can’t ruin Buffy and Willow’s friendship. Willow doesn’t need this in her life when she has so much already. Vampires, demons, slayers, she doesn’t need me adding to all this. >



Tara heard her taxi honk from outside and picked up her bags. She left a letter for Buffy and Willow on the coffee table and held back her tears as she left the house.



… … … …



“So are we cool now?” Willow asked as she pulled back from hugging Buffy.



“Definitely, but Will, you gotta talk to Tara.”



“I know, I tried to, but we were having such a good time, I didn’t want to spoil it.”



“I take it you had to tell her about me.”



“Yeah, she was just a little confused.”



Buffy looked worried, “How did she take it?”



“I think she was okay about it.”



“Cool, well I better get back and see her.” Buffy said before getting up and moving to the door, “Will, I’m glad you’ve found someone.”



Willow smiled brightly, “Thank you.”



“Oh, but if you hurt her, you know I can kick your ass right?”



“Oh believe me, I know!” Willow laughed.



Willow closed the door behind Buffy and made her way upstairs. < Well at least now I don’t have to worry about Buffy finding out…I just need to find a way to make Tara stay! > Willow decided it could wait till the morning and she fell into bed to catch up on a much needed eight hours sleep.



… … … …



“Hello?” Buffy called as she stepped into her house. She looked into the living room expecting to see Tara, but no one was there.



“Tara?” Buffy called up the stairs, but there was no answer.



She looked into the living room again and noticed two letters lying on the coffee table. She picked up the one addressed to her and opened it;



Buffy,



Sorry I’ve left things like this. I’m sorry if I hurt you, I don’t want to come between you and Willow. You need each other living in a place like this with such a heavy duty as yours. I wish you had told me about that, but I can understand. I hope you can understand why I didn’t tell you about Willow. It wasn’t just some passing teenage hormone thing, I love her so much. But, she has her own life, I don’t think its fair for me to stay and mess up her head. I’m sorry and tell Willow I love her.



Tara x



Buffy let the letter fall to the table and dialled Willow’s number. She let it ring a few times until a sleepy Willow answered the phone, “Hello?”



“Will, its Buffy, you need to come right away.”

evil? nah, there has to be a more appropriate word than that with a stronger connotation. update soon please. and good luck, break a leg. not literally of course.

TARA- It looks like gibberish.
SPIKE- (moving to them) Gibberish?
TARA- Or possibly gobbledygook. It's not words, anyway…
