Feedback: Yes Please I’d Love To Have Feedback
Spoilers: Anything up to the end of season 5 or 6, also in this timeline Buffy doesn’t die she just defeated Glory, but Joyce is dead. You should probably read this from the first part or you may be a little lost.
Paring: W/T, and the rest of the gang are in here to.
Disclaimer: I don’t own any of the “Buffy” characters, I did however create some new ones for this story, but it’s dealing with Buffy so that’s Joss’s territory not mine.
Rating: I’d guess PG-13 to be on the safe side
Summary: Willow, Tara, and Tally become closer to being a family.
Tara, Willow, Dawn, and Buffy are all sitting around the table eating breakfast.
DAWN: Only two more days
BUFFY: Are you going to keep saying that
DAWN: What I’ve only said it um
BUFFY: To many times
WILLOW: How about we take you to a movie
TARA: Yeah or the art fair should be fun
DAWN: Thanks you guys but I think I’ll just wait I don’t really feel like going out
TALLY: (Standing behind Dawn, walks up behind her and puts a rose in her eyesight) What about if I asked you
DAWN: (Jumps up and almost knocks Tally over by jumping in her arms) Oh my god your back
TALLY: I’m back (kisses Dawn) Did someone miss me
BUFFY: Yes we did, thank god now we won’t have to hear “only so and so more days”
DAWN: Oh shut up Buffy (Looks at Tally) I didn’t think you where coming back for two more days
V: (Walks in) Well I got tired of hearing “I wish I was back in Sunnydale” so I brought her back early
TALLY: Plus someone wanted to get back to the classroom (shoots a look at V)
V: What I was getting tired of my grandfather
TALLY: (looks at Dawn) not that I’m complaining about being back
DAWN: Lets go do something
TALLY: Actually I’d like to go settle back in at Giles’s; I’ve got like a load of new stuff
DAWN: Oh (looks disappointed) I understand
TALLY: But if you’d like to come help I wouldn’t say no
DAWN: (Smiles) Let’s go
TALLY: See you guys later
Tally and Dawn leave holding hands.
BUFFY: Like they didn’t know we knew they wanted to be alone
WILLOW: (looking at Tara, smiling)
BUFFY: OH not you too
TARA: (Blushing) Um no we just have a lot of studying to do
WILLOW: Yeah especially since Dawn is busy and not with us all the time not that I mind that it was good we where there to help her keep her mind off not having Tally around it’s just you know (cut off by Tara)
TARA: Sweetie we get your point (kisses Willow’s hand)
BUFFY: Yes we defiantly get your point, and Tara class doesn’t start for two more weeks so please go have sex
TARA: (Turning very red now)
WILLOW: Ok that’s it no one is hanging around with Anya anymore
V: (Laughing) Oh it’s good to be back
Cuts to Tally’s room where she is putting stuff up, finally she gets to a box she pulls it out.
TALLY: I brought you back something (hands box to Dawn who is sitting on the bed, then sits by her) I hope you like it
DAWN: (pulls out a really fancy evening dress) OH my gosh this is beautiful
TALLY: Well it looks modest compared to you (smiles)
DAWN: (Kisses Tally) thank you so much (puts it back in box and lays the box on the floor) I’m so glad to have you back home
TALLY: Well it’s very good to be back (Sits back against the wall) So have you been bugging Tara and Willow much
DAWN: OH no we’ve just hung out a lot, had to do something how about you
TALLY: Drove V crazy (Smiles) Her grandfather is a really cool guy spent most of the days meditating and doing physical stuff, you would be amazed by the place their housed in, it has like quarters for people and everything it was very awesome
DAWN: Sounds like you had a good time
TALLY: Oh it was a blast, but its good to be back
DAWN: And whys that
TALLY: you know couldn’t wait for school to start back
DAWN: (Playfully hits Tally’s arm)
TALLY: Oh and theirs you (winks)
DAWN: Well glad to know I fit in somewhere
TALLY: Yeah I know it was hard but we’ve got two whole weeks to just hang out together
DAWN: (Hugs Tally’s neck) and I’m so glad
TALLY: Me to (Kisses Dawn) You know Giles isn’t supposed to be back for another few hours
DAWN: Oh really
TALLY: (kisses Dawn’s neck) so you know I was thinking, we make up for some lost time
DAWN: Um (playfully) I don’t know I think I may need to do something like help Buffy or whatever
TALLY: OH that’s too bad (kisses Dawn’s ear)
DAWN: OH forget Buffy (Kisses Tally)
About that time Buffy stands in the doorway
BUFFY: Why are we forgetting about Buffy
Both Tally and Dawn about jump off the bed trying to get up
DAWN: Buffy what are you doing here
BUFFY: (Holds up a duffle bag) Tally forgot this in V’s car so I told her I’d bring it over before I take you both to a very public magic box
DAWN: Has anyone ever told you that you have suckie timing
BUFFY: Not anyone with a pulse (Laughs at her joke) Oh come on guys that was funny
TALLY: So why do we have to go to the magic box
BUFFY: Scooby meeting in about two hours I just don’t feel like leaving you two alone for that long
TALLY: Are Willow and Tara already there
BUFFY: Um no their busy um studying
Dawn and Tally shoot each other a sure look.
DAWN: Oh yeah well we’d rather spend two hours studying to
TALLY: (Grins)
BUFFY: (Getting embarrassed) Well school doesn’t start for few weeks so get your butts up and lets go
Cuts to magic box where Xander is putting up stock, Anya is helping a customer, and Giles is at his desk. Tally, Dawn, and Buffy walk in. Tally and Dawn are holding hands.
ANYA: (Looks up from the cash register) Your back (very excited, runs to Tally and Hugs her) I’ve missed you so much, now go to the basement and get some more books for magical text were running low
TALLY: Anya I don’t work till school starts back
ANYA: Well that’s just wrong
GILES: (Walks to Anya) Actually it’s not cause Tally wasn’t even supposed to be back now, so Anya get back to work
ANAY: Fine (walks back to working)
TALLY: Thanks
GILES: Yes well someone has to save you from her (grins) Did you eat already
TALLY: Yeah I grabbed something at the house
GILES: Good, Buffy you and I shall train until the meeting starts
BUFFY: Can’t I have the day off to
GILES: Not unless you want a bloody infestation of vampires
BUFFY: Geez Giles lighten up it’s a joke, aren’t my jokes funny anymore
Buffy and Giles go into the back training room.
DAWN: (Takes Tally’s hand again) come with me
TALLY: (Smiles) Where we going
DAWN: Away from here
TALLY: What about the meeting
DAWN: I don’t think they’ll miss us
TALLY: Um Buffy will
DAWN: (Kisses Tally) Please
TALLY: Fine how can I refuse you (gets led out the door)
TARA: (Walks in the door with Willow holding her hand) Oh hey you two

TARA: Aren’t you staying for the meeting
DAWN: No
BUFFY: (Walks up behind them) Yes your staying for the meeting
WILLOW: (Grins)
TALLY: (Looks at Dawn) Told you
Show’s all of the group setting around the table in the shop, except Tally she’s sitting in one of the bean bags on the floor. The only one absent from the meeting is V.
BUFFY: Vampire’s have been all over the place here lately; it’s like their migrating here or something
XANDER: Did someone order bite fest and we just forgot to get an invite
ANYA: Sweetie keep trying (pats Xander on his arm)
WILLOW: (Smiles)
BUFFY: All I’m saying is it just seams a little strange, Tally what do you think
TALLY: (asleep on the bean bag)
DAWN: Oh she’s so cute when she sleeps (smiling)
BUFFY: Um (Kicks at Tally) Wake up
TALLY: I’m awake
TARA: Oh then the drool is from where then
TALLY: (Wipes her face to find no drool) Hey
TARA: (Laughing)
TALLY: What were you saying Buffy
BUFFY: Just that theirs a lot of Vamps in the area so be careful all of you
GILES: Buffy’s right no one go out alone after sunset
WILLOW: To be fair Giles we hardly have ever done that anyways
GILES: Quite right I suppose
BUFFY: Well I should get to patrolling Xander Anya your with me tonight
ANYA: Oh Buffy you see we already have plans…. (Gets a look from Xander) Those apparently are getting canceled to go patrolling woo-hoo
Xander, Anya, and Buffy leave to go on patrol.
GILES: Tally can you drive Dawn home I need to speak with Willow and Tara for a few moments.
TALLY: Sure see you guys later
Tally and Dawn exit.
WILLOW: What’s up Giles
GILES: (Looks worried) I need to ask you both something that would take a very big commitment on your parts
TARA: Mr. Giles you know where always here for you
GILES: Well this isn’t just about me, you see the watchers council wants me to go back to England
WILLOW: Oh Tally’s not going to want to move there
GILES: I know and if I just leave she’ll go back into foster care, she’s got another year before she’s eighteen.
TARA: So why are you telling us this
GILES: Because Tara I’d like to have you and Willow become her guardians
WILLLOW: (shocked) Us
GILES: Well I wanted to talk to you both first before I approached Tally; she loves both of you very much
WILLOW: But us being (looks at Tara) Parents, and besides would the state even let us
GILES: I talked to our case worker and she said it was up to Tally who was her legal guardian, but both of you need to think this over
TARA: Have you told Tally that the council was in touch with you
GILES: No I wanted to see what you and Willow would say before I mentioned anything to her, because if I have to I will stay for her
TARA: (Looking at Willow) We’d have to get an apartment
GILES: Um no you wouldn’t
WILLOW: Giles she couldn’t very well stay with us in the dorms
GILES: I know but if you do this my house will be put in your names along with enough money to support both of you and Tally until you all get out of school.
TARA: Mr. Giles that’s too much
GILES: No it’s not Tara, because it’s asking both of you to give up on some of your freedoms so it’s the least I can do
WILLOW: Let us talk it over tonight
GILES: Very well come see me when you’ve decided
TARA: We will
Cuts to Tara and Willow’s dorm room, Willow is laying in bed looking up at the ceiling, Tara is brushing her hair.
WILLOW: What do you think
TARA: Well I think Tally would need us if Giles has to leave
WILLOW: But he said he’d stay if he had to
TARA: (Sits beside Willow) I know
WILLOW: (Sits up and faces Tara) I mean we spend a lot of time with her now
TARA: Yes we do
WILLOW: But would we be good at it, I mean yeah I’ve thought about having kids just much later in life and you know with a steady job, and you know starting out slow like just worrying about first steps, and teething instead of dates, and high school homework and college funds
TARA: (Puts a finger over Willow’s mouth) Sweetie it’s ok just breath
WILLOW: It’s not that I don’t want to do this
TARA: But
WILLOW: But are we ready
TARA: I think we can do anything we set our minds to
WILLOW: Do you think I’m ready
TARA: (taking into consideration Willow is scared of being like her parents) Baby you’d be the best parent in the world (kisses Willow’s hand)
WILLOW: You think so
TARA: I know so
WILLOW: (Kisses Tara) I love you so much
TARA: I love you to (Kisses Willow)
Cuts to Giles place where he’s sitting on the couch reading the paper, when theirs a knock on the door.
GILES: (Answers it) Oh Hello
TARA: Hey Mr. Giles
WILLOW: Sorry we didn’t call first
GILES: it’s quite all right please come in
Giles sits in a chair and Willow and Tara sit on the couch.
GILES: I take it this isn’t a social visit
WILLOW: Not exactly
GILES: Well then you’ve made up your minds
TARA: Yes we have
WILLOW: If Tally says ok then we’ll do it
GILES: (Smiles) Good, let me go get her (Leaves the room)
WILLOW: Where doing the right thing
TARA: (Holds Willow’s hand) yes we are (smiles)
TALLY: (Walks down the stairs wiping her eyes) You know vacation time is supposed to mean you can sleep in
GILES: It’s 10:30 in the morning
TALLY: Yeah and I could’ve gotten at least two more hours in
Giles and Tally sit in the living room
TALLY: (See’s Willow and Tara) Hey guys what brings you here so early
GILES: Well theirs something we want to discus with you
TALLY: Don’t look so serious or anything (Starts to get worried) What’s wrong is Dawn ok
TARA: Dawn’s fine this is about us
TALLY: (confused)
GILES: The watcher’s council has requested I go back to England
TALLY: But that’s like thousands of miles away from here
GILES: (Smiles) Yes
TALLY: So um are we leaving
GILES: Well that’s what I need to talk to you about; you see I asked Willow and Tara if they’d be your guardians
TALLY: (Surprised) Oh
GILES: Now this is up to you, you won’t move anywhere if they become your guardians they’ll move into the house and you’ll be set with money as well.
TALLY: So why didn’t you ask me about this first Giles
GILES: I wanted to give them some time to think
TALLY: What about me just throw something at me and think I don’t need time
GILES: I didn’t say that
TALLY: Your leaving just like everyone else
GILES: I’m not leaving you
TALLY: But you’ll be in another country
GILES: Yes but I won’t stop caring about you
TALLY: (Looks at Tara) What do you think of this
TARA: I think it’s your decision we’ll be here for you either way
WILLOW: Tara’s right sweetie we just want to help you
TALLY: (Look’s a little sad) (Then looks at Giles) Can I come visit you sometimes
GILES: You’d bloody better well visit me
TALLY: (Hugs Giles) So when do you leave
Cuts to the whole gang moving boxes into the house, it’s pretty much bare of all Giles things.
WILLOW: Hey be careful with that Xander don’t want to turn us all into toads
XANDER: (Holding a mid size box but having trouble balancing it) would it really do that
TARA: No but be careful (Helps Xander put the box down)
TALLY: (Comes into the door holding a few small boxes) Wow how did you guys have so much stuff in that little dorm room
TARA: That’s a very good question
DAWN: (Walks in carrying a duffle bag) Ok you guys are so paying for dinner tonight geeze this is a lot of stuff
ANYA: I just don’t think it’s right (comes in with even more boxes) how do I always get roped into moving things next thing you know they’ll be moving back into the dorms (talking to Buffy, who also is loaded down)
BUFFY: Anya shut up (Sits stuff down) Ok that’s the last of it
TALLY: (Sits on couch) Finally Giles knew to leave yesterday very smart man
WILLOW: Ok I know it’s a lot of stuff but how about Pizza
TALLY: (Looks at Willow) Hey Will after all this work I’d say “How about Steak”
TARA: (Laughs) How about Steak Pizza
TALLY: (Smiles at Tara) Oh well close enough
DAWN: (Grins)
Little bit later Tara is washing dishes and Willow is drying them putting them up, Tally is on the couch asleep.
WILLOW: Man you know they where right we do have a lot of stuff
TARA: But luckily we have good friends that helped us move (smiles) (Glances at the couch) Oh look (cuts the water off) come here (Takes Willow by the hand and they stand in front of the couch)
WILLOW: (Whispers to Tara) Dawn’s right she’s adorable when she sleeps
TARA: (Grins) Kind of like you
WILLOW: (Smiles) (Takes blanket that’s on a chair and covers Tally up) Come on she’s got a great idea
TARA: I agree (grins) (Goes with Willow up the stairs)
TALLY: (Opens her eyes and Smiles, then goes back to sleep)
Cuts to the dinner table where Willow, Tara, and Tally are sitting around eating breakfast.
TALLY: Tara I’ll have to admit you’re a much better cook then Giles (Smiles)
WILLOW: That’s my girl (winks at Tara)
TARA: Well if you two liked it so much why don’t you do the dishes
TALLY: Um I have plans
WILLOW: Yes plans to do the dishes with me
TALLY: Ok goodness only here a few days and your already acting like a mother (gets some dishes and heads to the kitchen)
WILLOW: (Smiles) She said I’m acting like a mother
TARA: (Smiles at Willow) a very good mother
WILLOW: (Leans over and kisses Tara)
TALLY: (walks back in) Ok break it up you’ve got dishes to help with (Gets more dishes and goes back into the kitchen)
WILLOW: Now I know how my parents felt (thinks a minute) you know never mind very bad images
TARA: (Laughs) Um yes I can believe that (Laughs more)
WILLOW: (Gets the rest of the dishes, kisses Tara’s cheek and goes to the kitchen)
Cuts to the beach were Dawn and Tally are making a sand castle; it’s just not going very well.
TALLY: You know this always looks better on TV when they’re doing it
DAWN: I don’t know I think it has potential
TALLY: (Gets a bucket of water and throws on Dawn from behind)
DAWN: Hey what was that for
TALLY: Just for the heck of it (laughs)
DAWN: (Grabs Tally and then end up falling on the sand castle) Gotcha you
TALLY: You’ve had me (Smiles) (Kisses Dawn)
DAWN: Well you know I told you the castle had potential
TALLY: Yeah as a bed (Laughs)
About that time Beth walks up to them.
BETH: Well, well look who we have here Sunnydale Highs Senior Lesbian couple
TALLY: I knew this day was going to good (Stands up) what do you want Beth
BETH: Oh I’m just here for the sun
DAWN: (Stands up also) I didn’t think the undead creatures could get in the sun
BETH: Your such a freak like any of that’s real anyways I’m out of here see you in a few days when school starts back, it’ll be so fun oh wait it’ll be fun for me not you freaks (walks off)
TALLY: She really angers me I mean really does she think she’s all that just cause she’s pretty
DAWN: (Looks at Tally) you think she’s pretty
TALLY: Yeah (notices Dawns face) I mean no not (stops) it’s just she’s such a jerk and no where near as pretty as you (touches Dawn’s face)
DAWN: Sweet talk will get you everywhere
TALLY: Really now (evil grin)
DAWN: OK almost everywhere (Kisses Tally) come on lets go rent a movie or something
TALLY: I’m down with that (smiles)
Cut to first day of classes at Sunnydale High School. It’s like a mad house the way schools are on the first week. Dawn and Tally are walking down the hallway holding hands.
TALLY: You sure you want to do this (Tugs on Dawns hand)
DAWN: I don’t care what anyone is thinking all I care about is you (Smiles)
TALLY: (Smiles back)
STEVE: (Walks up to the girls) Hey guys
TALLY: (Lets go of Dawn’s hand and hugs him) Hey stranger
DAWN: (Hugs Steve also) How are you, how was the summer in France
STEVE: Oh it was ok better then being in school (smiles)
TALLY: I hear you
STEVE: Man it’s like a mad house around here
DAWN: Tell me about it, at least we’ve only got this one last school year (Smiles)
STEVE: Oh yes then we get to enter college
TALLY: Awe but see we have a choice about that theirs no choice about high school
STEVE: (Laughs) Very true
TARA: (Comes up behind Tally) Oh but see you don’t have a choice you’re going to college (Pats Tally on the back)
TALLY: Tara what are you doing here
TARA: (hands Tally a brown bag) You forgot your lunch
TALLY: (Smiles) You came here just to give me this
TARA: Yeah but I have to go I’ll be late for class
DAWN: (Smiles)
TALLY: (Hugs Tara) Thank you (grins)
TARA: Your welcome I’ll see you guys later (Starts to walk off)
DAWN: Bye Tara (Looks at Tally) that was so nice
TALLY: It really was (about that time the bell rings) Come on guys where going to be late
Little bit later Tally is helping V in the computer classroom but it’s just the two of them.
TALLY: (wiping off the chalk board) So V are you going to teach forever
V: I don’t know I mean I really enjoy it but when it’s time for you to move on I probably will to normally the ring bearers travel together
TALLY: But the other two that got the rings still have a lot of training to do don’t they
V: Yeah as do you (Smiles)
TALLY: (Smiles back) I didn’t say I didn’t have lots of training to do (throw’s eraser at V, it hits her right in the butt and now she has chalk on her)
V: (trying not to laugh) well I guess you tried to decorate it (they both laugh) (wipes off herself then sits down) so um how are things with Willow and Tara
TALLY: (Sits in front of V’s desk) Actually their pretty good it’s nice having them around strange but nice
V: Must be different then Giles
TALLY: (Laughs) Oh yeah that’s for sure
V: You know if you need anything I’ll always be there for you
TALLY: I know and thanks
Cut to the house were Dawn and Buffy are helping Tara with dinner.
DAWN: So when are they supposed to be back
TARA: (Looks at the clock) I’m guessing anytime
BUFFY: Sending those two alone together I still don’t know if it was the greatest idea you’ve ever had Tara
TARA: Don’t worry I’m sure they’ll do fine
DAWN: Yeah but they both are stubborn
Willow and Tally walk through the door carrying grocery bags
WILLOW: All I’m saying is we could have just bought one kind
TALLY: You’re the one who wouldn’t make up their mind
WILLOW: Yeah but was buying four gallon’s of ice cream necessary
TALLY: You must have thought so you paid for it
WILLOW: I only paid for it cause you wasn’t moving from the spot (cut off by Tally)
TALLY: No you didn’t move from the spot so I just put the four gallons in the buggie (Sets bag down) Hey baby (Kisses Dawn)
WILLOW: Great run to Dawn to get away (Turns around to face Tara) Hey baby (Kisses Tara)
TALLY: (Looks at Willow) You were saying
WILLOW: Oh isn’t their some rule about doing what parents say and not what they do
TALLY: Yeah but your not my parents (Immediately wishes she hadn’t said anything)
WILLOW: I know that but where still all a family (Puts ice cream away)
BUFFY: Lets eat I’m starving (trying to cut the tension)
Cut to Tally and Dawn talking in Tally’s room
DAWN: What’s wrong
TALLY: I don’t know (Lays back on her bed) it’s like I know their my guardians but Willow acts like it’s something more and I don’t feel that way (trying to cover what she’s really feeling)
DAWN: (Sits beside of Tally)
TALLY: I mean how could (stops) its just I know taking care of me was more of Tara’s idea so I think maybe (stops) I don’t know maybe I’m just going crazy
DAWN: Maybe but I like crazy you (Kisses Tally’s forehead) Hey your burning up are you feeling ok
TALLY: It’s nothing just trying to get a cold I think
DAWN: Should we go tell someone
TALLY: No it’s nothing-major Dawnie everyone gets sick (holds Dawn’s hand)
DAWN: I know
BUFFY: (Can be heard from down stairs) Come on Dawn it’s time to go
DAWN: Well she has bad timing as ever
TALLY: You guys be careful going home
DAWN: Please my sister’s the slayer and my girlfriend is very powerful to who would want to mess with me
TALLY: (Grins) Buffy’s driving
DAWN: (Thinks a minute) Maybe I should walk home (they both crack up laughing)
Few more weeks go by, Tally is sitting on a bench at school when Beth comes by.
BETH: Well all alone where’s the little girl friend
TALLY: Good afternoon to you to Beth
BETH: What did you guys already break up
TALLY: Why you interested in one of us
BETH: (Doesn’t know what to say) Why I never
TALLY: (Laughs) (starts to sweet a little) (then leans over and throws up)
Cuts to nurse’s office
NURSE: Ok I don’t have your new contact information someone needs to come pick you up so you can go to the doctors and you can’t drive yourself home until you get checked out, so who do I call
TALLY: My mo…(almost say’s mom then) Um Tara and Willow my guardians
NURSE: Ok I’ll give them a call
Cuts to the Tara, Willow, and Tally coming in the front door
TALLY: I can’t believe they made me sit in that stupid office for three hours
TARA: Well at least you have some antibiotics now
WILLOW: Why don’t you go upstairs and we can make you some soup or something
TALLY: Look (faces Willow) I know your just trying to play your part but you don’t have to, I know you just did this as a favor to Giles
TARA: Hey that’s not true
TALLY: I know it isn’t for you Tara but I overheard Buffy and Willow talking one night
WILLOW: Whoa wait a minute that was like when we first moved in you’ve been holding this in for the past four months
TALLY: So you’re not denying it then
WILLOW: Tally I didn’t mean it like it sounded I was trying to explain to Buffy why Tara and I decided to become your guardians
TARA: Willow’s right sweetie
TALLY: But you didn’t want to do it did you to start with I mean
WILLOW: I had my doubts this is true but its not because I don’t love you, I loved you even before we became your guardians
TARA: In fact we wanted to talk to you about that
TALLY: About what being my guardians now you don’t want to do it either huh
TARA: We didn’t say that
WILLOW: Actually we have been talking about adopting you but we wanted to wait and ask you how you felt about it
TARA: We figured make it an official family
TALLY: (Looks very angrily at Willow) You can never take the place of my mother
WILLOW: That’s not what I’m trying to do Tally
TALLY: I have to get out of here (grabs keys and storms out of the door)
WILLOW: (starts to cry) What did I say
TARA: (hugs Willow) it’s ok baby, it’ll be ok (looks worried) (pulls away) we need to find her though
WILLOW: Yeah before she gets sicker and ends up in the hospital
Cut to Tally sitting at the beach looking out at the waves
DAWN: (Walks behind Tally) Can I sit
TALLY: It’s a free country
DAWN: (Sits beside Tally)
TALLY: How’d you find me
DAWN: You always come here if something is wrong
TALLY: Oh
DAWN: Why’d you freak out Tara said you should be in bed just cause she tells you to go to bed is no reason to run away
TALLY: (Looks at Dawn) They want to adopt me
DAWN: Well that’s great (Smiles) right that’s great isn’t it
TALLY: I don’t remember much about my mom, she had red hair though long red hair she used to brush it for hours (stops) I loved her so much and she left, just like my grandmother, my sister, and then Giles, everyone I love leaves one way or the other
DAWN: But Giles asked if it was ok
TALLY: (Looks at Dawn) if Buffy asked you would you care if she went off to college
DAWN: (Stops Tally) She’s the slayer
TALLY: Well lets say she’s not lets just say she’s like everyone else, and she asked you if she could leave, now if she stays she’s going to be unhappy, but if she goes she’s going to find meaning to her life again, what would you do
DAWN: I’d tell her to go, but I wouldn’t’ like it
TALLY: Exactly so what if I let Willow and Tara all the way in and then they do the same thing everyone else has always done, were does that leave me
DAWN: With a family (Holds Tally’s hand)
TALLY: I just feel like I’m betraying my mom by calling them mom or something you know, its’ not that I remember her but still (Looks at Dawn) It’s hard to explain
TARA: (Walks up behind Tally) Then you don’t call us mom or something we never asked for that
TALLY: (Jumps) Tara (looks and spots Willow standing by her) Willow
WILLOW: Sorry we didn’t want to irrupt your conservation
TALLY: So you figured it was better to listen in
WILLOW: Look I know I’m the one you have issues with and at first I didn’t think I wanted all this responsibility but now that we’ve lived with you for a few months I see I wouldn’t have it any other way, its such a great feeling when you come home and tell me about your day, or when you ask me to watch something on TV with you or to just spend time burning cookies that Tara has to come fix for us (Smiles) all I’m saying is I don’t want to replace anyone all I want to do is be their for you (holding back tears)
TALLY: (Crying now) I want you to be there for me to (Hugs Willow)
TARA: (Looks at Dawn and smiles) (Then hugs Willow and Tally)

AND "You rock!!!" Maybe this will make reading the story easier for you guys now, ok on with the story, part 4 is done, I'm just waiting for it to come back to me, and also guys look forward to part 5 'the wedding'
