Chapter 7



The next morning Tara was woke up by the sun shining through the window. She didn’t want to wake up because she was having the most wonderful dream that her and Willow had declared their love and had kissed and made love. This was a dream she never wanted to wake up from.



She suddenly realized that there was a light weight on her chest and she looked down to she a flurry of red hair there. She at once knew who the hair belonged to and a huge smile came to her face. It wasn’t a dream. It had really happened. Willow and she had mad love and then fall asleep in each other’s arms.



She started to softly stroke the hair back off of her lover’s face. She just wanted to watch this wondrous woman sleep for a while before they had to get up. But Willow felt her lovers eyes watching her and felt her hand on her face and decided that she wanted to see her lover. With that Willow opened her eyes to a glorious new day with her Tara.



Tara leaned down and gave Willow a kiss good morning, which the redhead eagerly returned. “Mmmm, morning baby.” Willow said.



“Yes, a very good morning sweetie.” Tara was the happiest she had been in a very long time.



“That was the best nights sleep that I have gotten in forever.” Tara quipped. “You do know what that means right?”



“Um, no baby what does that mean?” Willow asked playing along, for she knew exactly what it meant.



“It means that we are going to have to do that every night for the rest of our lives.” Tara answered.



“I think I can handle that.” Willow was smiling now like the cat that got the cream. “You know what baby? I have a great idea!” Willow sat up and was very excited.



“Oh really?” the blonde smirked at her girlfriends excitement. “And what is this great idea love?”



“I say that we call Lisa and Lex and have them bring us some hot water to fill the tub up with and we have a bath. TOGETHER!” With this Willow started to wiggle her eyebrows.



Tara couldn’t help herself and she started to giggle at how silly the redhead was being. “I would love to, but first, I want my morning snuggles.” With that Tara wrapped herself and Willow up in a tight embrace and they stayed that way for a long time.



Finally they got up and put on they sleep wear and sent for Lisa and Lex to get them a bath prepared. Once it was ready the two excused everyone from the room and asked Lisa and Lex to stay semi-close to the room incase anyone came looking for them. After that they again undressed and got into the tub to have their bath.



“Isn’t this nice?” Willow asked as she gently washed her lover from head to toe.



“Mmmm, very nice.” Tara loved the feel of Willow hands on her. She knew that this was how life was supposed to feel. Nothing this good could be wrong.



Willow moved her hands around to Tara’s breast and started to rub up a latter on them both. When she began to work in the soap by massaging Tara’s breast the blonde’s body started to react to the touches.



Tara whirled around and captured the red head’s lips. She started a slow passionate kiss that soon began to build and become heated with both girls’ desires.



Suddenly they were broken out of their heated smoochie fest by a knock at the door. “Um, I am so very sorry to interrupt you, your Highnesses, but the King and Queen wish you to meet them in the thrown room.” Lex said as she bowed her head.



Both girls looked at each other, this wasn’t going to be good.

*************

Thirty minutes later both Princesses where dressed and standing in front of their parents, who had evil looking grins plastered on their faces.



“Hello darling, Princess Tara.” The Queen said. “Like promised we brought the boys for you two to spend the day with getting to know one another better.”



As if on queue two young men stepped out as the Queen ended her sentence. One was about 6’0 tall with really dirty blonde hair and a beard. He had a cold and unkind look on his face. He looked to be a bit younger than the two girls, maybe seventeen to their eighteen years.



The other was about the girls’ age. He was 6’2 in height and a well-built clean-shaven man. He had dark brown hair and a gentle goofy look about him.



The second man stepped up to the redheaded Princess and bowed. Then in an unroyal display her hugged Willow tightly lifting her off the ground and spinning her a little. “Hello cousin, what has been going on with you since I last saw you?” He asked as he took a respectful few feet back.



“Nothing much Xander.” Willow almost slapped herself when she caught her slip. She hopped no one else had noticed.



“Hmm, Xander, I like it! Think people could get use to calling me Duke Xander of West Palermo?” Xander joked in his normal way.



“I think it suits you very well.” Tara piped in.



“Well thank you very much Princess.” Xander said with a bow and a grin.



After a minute the other young man stepped up to the group and bowed to the Princesses and accepted his bow from the Duke.



“I am Donald, Prince of East Palermo.” He announced like everyone there didn’t already know who he was.



“Hi there.” Willow said trying not to laugh out at this display.



He then turned and looked at Tara with a cold stare. “Sister.” Her more spat this word than said it.



Tara merely nodded. She hated her brother. He was always jealous that she was first born and not him.



Willow saw this and was ready to hurt Donald for being a prick but decided to get this day going. The sooner it started the sooner it would be over and she could get back to her alone time with Tara. “Shall we begin then?”



They all nodded their agreement and Xander offered Tara his arm and wait for Donald to do the same for Willow so that they could start out. Donald, however, grabbed Willow’s arm and threw it around his. He found no reason to be polite. His father had arranged the marriage already. So he would be King and the redhead would be his Queen.



Willow, who already didn’t like Donald, was liking him less and less by the second.



When Xander and Tara saw what he had done they were both ready to reach over and slap him. They were shared a look that let both know they where thinking the same thing. “What the HELL does he think he is doing?”



They all started out to the gardens shortly after this. They looked at the flowers, sat and had lunch, and had polite conversation for the most part.



After lunch Willow pulled Xander off to the side to talk for a minute about a very important matter, Tara.



“Xander, do you like Tara?” Willow just bluntly came out and asked.



“Um, yeah she is a great girl. Why?” Xander knew his cousin well, and she was thinking something.



“Um, no reason really. I…I just wanted to know what you thought of her, that’s all.” Willow tried to sound convincing and failed miserably.



“Yeah, sure Will, spill it.” Xander said.



“Alright, but you have to swear never to tell a soul.” Willow was scared, but knew that if this Xander was anything like the one in her reality that he would understand.



“I swear.” He said and you could hear the honesty in his voice.



“I love Tara and she loves me too.” Willow blurted it out quickly before she had time to think about it.



“That’s great Willow. It’s about time you two got together. You two have only been mooning over each other for months.” With that he wrapped her in a great big warm loving hug.



Willow laughed at this. This is the exact speech that her Xander had given Willow and Tara when they first told him in her reality. The exact same speech word for word and they even gave the same hug. Xander really was the same in any time and place.



“Yeah, now all we have to do is to get the law changed and get rid of our parents, and Donald. You, luckily, will just step aside seeing as you know and all.” Willow laughed.



Xander grinned widely. “Yeah, how about I get Donald to walk with me to leave you ladies to your ‘talking’?” Xander asked though he already knew the answer.



About five minutes later the two men had gone off to talk about “men things” and left the Princesses alone.



“Xander know about us and is happy for us.” Willow told Tara.



“What? How does he know?” Tara was shocked by this.



“I told him.” Willow answered sheepishly.



“Oh well, at least it isn’t that we are that obvious around on another.” Tara smiled. She liked Xander as a friend as was glad that he knew.



They had been apart for far too long that day. With that thought in both of their minds, Willow wrapped her arms around Tara’s waist and began to kiss her with all the built up passion that she had in her petite body.



“What the HELL are you doing?!?” A loud angry male voice yelled.



Tara turned in shock. “D-D-Donald.”

Donald catching Willow&Tara like that

Great cliffhanger and update

[sam darls]

Uh oh.. I don't like Donald...and Xander was so sweet. Great update Love Sammi xx

[justin]

Hi ,



Oopsie



Now I told them that they ought to be more careful, but do they listen to me? No they don't.



Xander was very nice. But is he now going to do the right thing? Hit Donald round the back of the head with a large rock so they can bury him under the hedge maze.



Of course it occurs to me that he might not have seen them kissing and might have been shouting about something else or at least I hope so



I'm looking forward to reading more.

Chapter 8



The three just stood there staring at each other. None of them could say a word since Donald had caught the two Princesses kissing in the garden a minute ago.



Suddenly they heard footsteps coming their way. “Donald, hey where’d you go?” Xander called. When he caught up to the group and felt the tension all around he stopped dead in his tracks.



The two girls looked over at Xander and prayed that he would get them out of this some how, even though they knew that he couldn’t do anything.



“What’s going on here?” Xander asking in an easy sort of way.



“I just caught these two…sluts…kissing!” Donald spit out. He bore into the two girls with his cold steely eyes. They knew that there was nothing behind those eyes but pour hate.



“Well, um, I’m sure it wasn’t anything.” Xander tried to relief some of the pressure.



“I’m going to get the King and Queen!” Donald yelled. He started off when Xander grabbed him.



“You can’t!” Xander, Willow, and Tara all yelled as one.



“Yes I can, and there is nothing that any of you can do to stop me!” With that he pushed Xander off of him and started out again.



Xander grabbed him and turned him around. He looked him square in the eyes with a look that he had never gotten in his life, a look of hatred. No one was going to hurt his cousin. Willow was the closest thing to a real family he had. She was there for him when he became Duke because of his father’s murder. He would do anything for her, even if that meant standing up to a Prince.



“You are not going to turn them in. You are going to back down and forget that you ever saw this.” Xander said through clenched teeth.



“I will not! You need to remember your place Duke.” Donald was pissed now and shoved Xander off of himself again.



With that Xander took a swing at Donald that connected with his right eye. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to even slow Donald down. Donald turned around and started to wail on Xander. They were there going blow for blow until Donald got in a lucky shot that sent Xander to the grown and knocked him out.



Donald started off again to get the King and Queen. With that Willow threw at rock him. It bounced off and he turned to her. “ You bitch!” he yelled. He walked to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.



Willow started to fight with all that she had. She tried to kick him but she was too close to actually get a good kick in and it was no good to try and punch him since he had a hold of her shoulders.



“Willow be careful!” Tara cried out. She wanted to do something to help but she was to scared to move, and she didn’t know what to do even if she could move.



As those words were called out, Willow looked over at Tara. This allowed Donald a moment where Willow wasn’t struggling. He used it to got a good hold of Willow and throw her into a wall. The last things Willow saw before she blacked out again was Tara running towards her.



**************



“Mmmm, Tara no!” With that Willow sat straight up with a start covered in sweat



“Willow, baby, your awake! Are you okay sweetie?” Tara asked as she looked over at her beautiful girlfriend.



“Oh Tara, yes baby, I’m fine. Are you okay my Princess?” Willow asked. She began to take in her surroundings.



“Princess, that’s a new one.” Tara joked. She was so happy that Willow was awake She had been so worried for the last two days.



“I’m back, I’m really back!” With that the redhead jumped on her girlfriend and kissed her with longing like she hadn’t seen her in months.



“That was some dream wasn’t it sweetie?” Tara asked only half joking.



“Yes it was, but it seemed so real baby. You wouldn’t believe the things that happened.” The redhead said.



“Why don’t you tell me about it.” The blonde cooed. She knew that whatever had happened had taken a toll on Willow just from the way that she had woken up.



Willow looked into her lover’s eyes. So blue and loving. She knew that Tara need to know where she had been and then she realized something else, she needed her to know where she had been. “Okay, here it goes.” Willow started.



The two witches spent the rest of the night talking about what happened. Then they fell asleep in each other’s arms. The last words uttered that night were “I love you.”

I wasn't expecting Willow to wake up either

Great update

[justin]

Hi ,



So Willow seems to be safe for now, having woken up and all, so yay



However the fact that the last part ended with "TBC" rather than "The End" suggests that Willow is going to return to the other world, so Donnie still needs to be dealt with.



And there is always the possibility that if time in the alternate world flows in the same way as in the normal one then Willow might return to it to find herself and Tara in the dungeon, waiting to be either burned or hanged or something



Great update, looking forward to more



ETA I've just seen on the update thread that there's only one more part left, so I guess that my theories above were wrong Still maybe there'll be a sequel

Epilogue



Early the next morning Willow awoke with the sun. She looked over at the sight of her lover fast asleep. They had talked well into the night. She smiled a broad smile full of love. She was so happy to be home with the woman that she loved more than life it’s self.



But from some where in the back of her mind she couldn’t help but wonder what happened to the other Tara, the Princess. She just couldn’t shake the feeling that her ‘dream’ was more than just a dream.



She decided to get up and go for a walk and maybe clear her head out a little. She got dressed and headed down stairs. She wondered around for a while until without knowing it she winded up in the library where this all started. She looked around a bit before she saw something that caught her eye.



She walked over to the place that she was standing before she had gotten knocked out. She looked down at the leather bound book lying there on the floor. Could this be the book that caused all this? Willow took the book over to the table and started to look through it.



Willow almost jumped six feet in the air when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw that it was Tara. They locked eyes and then Tara leaned over and gave her girlfriend a good-morning kiss.



“Hey sweetie. You’re up awful early this morning.” Tara said with a yawn to show that she herself wasn’t fully awake yet.



“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep. Kept having this nagging feeling and when I came down here look what I found.” Willow held up the leather bound book for Tara to inspect. “I think it is the one that hit me in the head.”



“Will, honey, that’s nice but what is so important about it that you have to be reading it at…” Tara looked at her watch and then back to her girlfriend. “Six in the morning?”



“Baby, it isn’t a book.” Off Tara’s quizzical look the redhead elaborated. “It’s a journal.”



“That’s great Willow, but I still don’t get it.” The blonde had a blank look on her face. She just didn’t seem to get what Willow what going after.



Willow motioned for her lover to take a seat next to her. Once Tara sat down Willow started to explain why she was so excited about the journal. “Honey, this is the journal of two Princesses who became Queens. It tells of their rein and what they did.”



The blonde looked at her like she was thinking really hard to figure out what Willow was trying to tell her and then finally a light bulb went off over her head. “You mean…but how?” Tara was in shock at this.



“Yes baby. Princess Tara and Princess Willow were really real. I knew that too real to be just a dream. See look right here.” Willow pointed to a page in the book with a painted portrait of the two at their coronations. “It says here, under the picture that at the age of 18 Princess Tara’s father died of heart failure and being the oldest she became Queen and a month later the Princess Willow’s mother went crazy and was forced to step down, since Willow was the only heir she was made Queen.”



Tara smiled at this and took the book from Willow so that she could read. “Within two weeks of the two Princesses being made Queens they revoked the law that required death for two people of the same sex being in love. They passed a law saying all could love whom they wanted freely. To prove this the Queens were married with in the month and joined their two lands.”



Tara passed the book back to Willow so that she could finish it off. “The two Queens lived to be 70 years old, they had 4 children by means that no one knew of.” The two witches looked at each other and shared a smile. “The Queens died on the same day at the same time. They are buried next to each other in a private place that only the person who buried them and their children know. I know this for I am the one who buried them.”



The girls looked at each other, and then Tara asked. “Sweetie, who wrote this journal?”



Willow looked at the cover page and then a huge smile graced her face. “Duke Xander.”



With that both girls broke out in a fit of laughter. “Well I guess that all of that really happened. Goddess, that had to be so awful for them. I thought we had it bad but that was horrible.”



Tara leaned over and kissed her girlfriend with all the love that she could muster. When they broke apart they shared a look that let them know that they both knew how lucky they were to have the other and to have people in their lives that were understanding and excepting of them.

***********

Later that day Willow and Tara found their friends in the dinning hall.



“Hey Will!” Xander yelled as he ran up to hug his best friend.



“Hey Xan.” Willow said as she hugged him tight.



Buffy heard this and ran up to the redhead as well. “Willow, your awake!” The blonde slayer then hugged her friend tightly.



“Um yeah, nice to be awake. Glad to know you all missed me but, oxygen becoming and issue.” Willow said in a gripped voice.



The two friends let go and backed off a bit. As they did Anya and Faith walked up. “Willow, welcome back from your unconscious state.” Anya said.



“Um yeah, thanks.” Willow had no idea where that had come from or why but she was going to take any non-hostile non-sex comments she could get from the ex-demon.



“Heya Red. Nice nap?” Faith smirked her question.



“Yeah, kinda weird though.” Willow didn’t really want to go into all of this right now though so she changed the subject. “So what have all of you been up to since I was out?”



A round of murmurs came from this question and the group started to look everywhere except at the redhead.



“Oh come on! I was out of it for a day and a half, something hat to have happened.” Willow was really curious now.



Tara was stifling giggles or at least trying to stifle them. She had heard al of this already and knew why the group wasn’t talking.



Faith being the brave one of the group decided to talk first. “Well, Xan and demon girl had three fights and “made-up” after each one and had the teach walk in on them all three times. That was fun.”



Xander blushed, but not to be out done, he told a story of his own. “Yeah, well at least we hid and we stopped when we got caught. Now Faith and Buff, they were bad. They just sat down in the common room in front of the TV at seven, when you know everyone goes to watch TV. They were alone until the teacher and a group of student walked in on them. Now do you think they stopped? NO! They kept going to the finally.”



Willow’s mouth hung open in shock. The she looked over at Tara. “Are we the only ones who haven’t had sex on this vacation?”



Tara thought that she would have a little fun and mess with Willow. “Well actually sweetie…”



Willow’s eyes bugged out. “TARA! Tell me your joking.”



Tara tried to keep back her laughter but couldn’t. She burst out in a loud throaty laugh. “I am baby. But don’t worry. We’ll make up for it tonight.” With that Tara gave Willow a soft kiss and walked off.



As soon as Willow recovered she followed her girlfriend out of the dinning hall and into the rest of the castle.



The rest of the group was shocked that the blonde witch had said that. They all looked at each other wondering if she was serious. They didn’t know weather she was or not.



They didn’t have to wonder long. The screams of passion and ecstasy coming from the witches’ room that night answered that question several times over.





THE END
