Another great part Rane, Willow's so sad that Tara wasn't there, we all feel her pain, but somehow I know all will be well soon



Keep up the great work Rane.

come to think of it she's been very quiet lately

My head is hanging in shame. Sorry I have been neglecting your story thread but all that naked frolicking tired me out and I needed the long weekend to recover.



But I have finally read your updates and loved every single word. I particularily liked the twist on the star naming scene. Nice Willow/Buffy friendship bonding. I always enjoyed moments like that on the show. You know, before it went to hell.



But I was a little disappointed with the noisy bed. I had envisioned you writing a rather naughty scene in that cabin after the campers had all gone home. Perhaps I'll get a special, personalized epilogue of just such a scene. Oh sorry. I didn't mean to bring my stalking behavior into the thread. Apparently that is something I only do in email. You know you love it.



And I think you've upset the stick people. They don't like the thought of trees. Watch your pencils.



Love ya.

Hi Rane. I'm in a less than brilliant mood today but catching up with the latest parts of this has cheered me up a bit. Great stuff!

[frenchrose888]

Rane, I just caught up with these last two updates, and I'm so glad I did. Willow is so cute. I can so picture her, staring out into nothing, lost in her musings, with her burnt marshmallow falling on her shoes. Heh. I love Willow, and I love that she loves Tara so much, cause somebody has to get Tara out of that place, like others have said. And we already know she *does* look good in a shining armor.*g*

One thing I really loved about these two parts is the impression they give, that Will and Tara are living their love in a bubble, and that all kinds of stuff is pushing against the limits of that bubble, trying to break it, knowingly or not - like Tara's father, Willow's campers for example. It really sets a sense of fragility - not to their feelings, cause we know how strong those are - but to their immediate well-being and happiness. And I love that, it's really a 'summer-love' feeling, only this time we know it's the real deal, and autumn won't break it. (no, not you Autumn, the kind that makes tree leaves fall. And if you do that too, then you're evil.)



In short, I loved this, and if this is filler, well give it to me anytime.



Urgh. That came out a lot more naughty than it sounded in my head. And what you said about being sort of in love with Tara ? I totally get that. I mean, I love Amber, she's a Godess among actresses and a great person, but Tara I'm really in love with. And I kinda figured you were too, cause it really shows in your writing.*g*



Anyway, take your time to update, it's always worth the wait.

Just caught up with the last few chapters. I just love this story. And I really like little Jamie, she's like a mini-Willow.

Tara really needs to get out of that house, away from the dark presence of her dad.

I hope she and Willow get together again really soon.

And i can imagine what Willow's face looks like when she thinks of Tara, who's face doesn't get like that thinking of her....

Can't wait for the story to continue... see how the campfire goes and how Willow and Tara are keep on with the loving..

*Sneaks into thread looking sheepish*



You know I was sure I'd replied to this...whoops, sorry. Just posting to tell ya I love this story especially Jamie 'cos she so sweet.



And I wanna ask a question which is going to sound really stupid but, urm what are smores? I've heard quite a few people mention them but i haven't got a clue what they are except it's something marshmellow-y. A little help for a stupid kitten?...

Wow! I've been so caught up going through the Completed Fics Archive, I missed this! How happy am I that I've just recently read Camp Flutie Pt.1 and now I get to jump straight into Pt.2 - well I'm very happy, ecstatic even!

I love how you write Willow & Tara, just perfect in my eyes!

I espeacially like 'happy Buffy', I've missed having her around in the show!

Can't wait for the next update!

Axe, not gonna cut it

[Rane018]

Ellie- ok, um…. You know, for some reason I’ve been singing *I’m under you spell all day* it’s really weird cause I’ve only heard it two or three times and I’m humming along but I cant get the words. Hehe….



Katydid- I hope you fixed your computer. Comp probs suck! As for buffy yeah, odd girl out is tough but she does the same thing. I’m going to balance it all out soon. we’ve still got xander to deal with. Sigh…



Ten ten- all will be well soon? are you sure about that?



CK- I know you’re candian and all but what long weekend are you talking about? We’re about to get our 4th of july and being the patriotic american I am I will be working that day. How sucky is that? lol… you like noisy beds? Tell you what. I may write a scene just for you. I don’t know if id’ post it but it’ll be a personalized CK epilogue. How’s about that? and all my pencils are those click ones so no woodsy pencils to fear.



Zero- happy to make your day a bit better. I hope you’re doing well today.



Rose- bubble. Yup, they’re still in their honeymoon phase but further more it’s the fact that they are two girls in love, not boy/girl which would obvious be the talk of the camp. So far just the scoobs know. Love is frail and first love even more so, I’d think they would both know this. I’m glad you get the summer loving feeling. It’s hard to suspend belief when you’ve seen them in love for two years and to try to recapture that beginning stages to their relationship we were so robbed of. It’s good to know you find it believable and that you don’t mind the filler. But summer does end, unfortunately, and autumn will roll around (sprouting limericks). What that will mean you’ll just have to wait. Hehe… and yeah, I’m totally in love with tara. I’ll have to admit it’s not really sorta anymore. I want a gf like that. lol…



Mollyig- thanks honey! glad you could catch up. I know there’s a ton of new fic out there and lots of great stories! The pens rocks!



Tarebear- w/t will be seen together soon. no worries. It’s funny cause I’m sure I’m doing that little lost in love look when I write willow thinking of tara. Hehe… good thing I write in my room.



Shooting star- not a problem honey: SMORES- it’s a snack made of marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers, like a sandwich. you melt the chocolate and marshmallow and squeeze them in between two graham crackers. I guess it must be american. They used to have this awesome cereal called smores that was this mix. It was awesome and I’m quite sad I no longer find it anywhere. It used to turn the milk all chocolatey and it had teeny marshmallows… ok, off topic… hehe…



Givemechocloate- I need chocolate! Hehe… pleased you read part one and that you found part two. I’m so glad to hear you find I write w/t believable. It’s kinda hard to do when you’re writing a AU fic and I always have to pull myself back and think of buffyverse. And, yeah, I miss happy buffy too. How joss expects next season to be lighter at all is beyond me.



EVERYONE- hehe... i have off tomorrow but i'll be looking for apartments so i dont know if i'll be able to finish the next update before the weekend. i've been looking at my outline and i'm thinking a lot of narration will have to be used and you all know how much i hate that. hehe.... we'll see how i deal with it... and i'm scared to write the whole Giles and Faith visiting the camp. need to figure out what stage of scoobydom in buffyverse Faith is and jsut a bunch of other things....



hugs and belly rubbings!

You know what I love about being absent from the board for a few days? Coming back to MANY posts to this fic. YAY!!!

but ure powers shown brighter than any I've known.



I'n under your spell

you just took my soul with you

you worked your charm so well

finally i knew everything i dreamed was true

you make me believeeeeeeeeeeee.



The moon to the tide

i can feel you inside



i'm under your spell

serging like the sea

wanting you so helplessly

i brink with every swell

lost in extacy

spread beneath my Willowtree

you make me complete.



you make me complete

you make me complete

you make me complete.



ENDING MUSIC

love ellie x x x x

*thats me as a vampire im so evil and skanky and i think im kinda gay*

*no candles? well i brought one its extra flamey!*

[Rane018]

jd- isnt that the best?! i love it when i can read a large amount of fic at the same time. that's why i tend to wait off on new fics until they're a bit further along with chapters.



ellie- wow. thank you. i think i'll be using that.



ok kittens, i'm moving next week and so i'll be busy doing all that other stuff i need to do so i'm not sure if there will be an update this weekend. i have the day off today but i'm not sure if i'll get much editing done. hehe... fireworks and all... HUGS!

Oh right. You meant the season.

But I would like to watch you roll around Autumn.

Well officially, of course, I have to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Kerrison]

Geez, Kitties!

You guys are all sorts of flirty lately.



*G* One more vote for the kitty-wide prostitute! Keep our libidos in check.



lol- Oh, yeah, Rane? More. Now.

[AutumnT]

Hey, I wasn't flirting! I was just reading through the thread and came across something about Autumn and was perplexed! I forget my name can be used for other things. My libido is kept in check quite nicely already though. I'm quite happily whipped.

[frenchrose888]

Autumn - I meant mostly the season, yeah, but if you insist on rolling around, then by all means, be my guest. It doesn't have to be flirty, sexy rolling either. We can all roll together and still be just good friends. Ok, I need sleep.*g*



Rose, delirious at this point.

Hi Rane. I just read your message, thank you. I'm so glad you liked it, I'm going to stay up late and add a little more. I hope your move goes smoothly. Looking forward to your updates, with smores in hand. Take care.

[Rane018]

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

CHAPTER 21

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



The raid on cabin five with all the cute boys hadn’t happened as planned. It hadn’t happened at all actually. The strategy had been to raid them the night after Outward Bounds when all the boys tended to be pooped out from their playful overexertion in the wilderness during their own separate hike and sleep over. But, after a Thursday filled with fun in the sun and water sports in a nearby lake, what transpired was that the girls of cabin seven ended up way more exhausted instead. So exhausted they never woke up during cabin five’s raid on them.



They awoke that Friday morning to a shaving cream filled cabin with confetti poured all over the floors as well. After spending one and a half hours after breakfast cleaning up the mess, Miss Post came by to inform them that they would be allowed to send out their laundry early instead of having to wait until Monday when the rest of the camp was scheduled to send it out.



As the girls scrambled to save certain articles of clothing that were spared from the foamy white substance Buffy and Willow huddled in their corner to clear out their own soiled clothes.



“Are those new?” Buffy asked curiously. Having been through laundry day already three times with Willow she thought she’d seen all of her plain white underwear. These particular orange colored ones with red hearts were not any she’d seen before. Had she and Tara gone shopping on her day off? Willow… without her mom… at somewhere other than Sears?



“What?” Willow questioned as she blindly shoved another handful of shaving creamed t-shirts in her crochet laundry bag.



“Those.” Buffy pointed to the corner of the see though laundry bag.



Willow’s eyes quickly darted to the area Buffy was pointing at and widened when she recognized them. They were Tara’s. “Oh.” she replied, a blush coming on full force that topped her already mildly sun burnt skin. She must have packed those in the rush to get back to Camp Flutie on time. “Oops,” she smiled nervously, “I must have accidentally grabbed hers instead.”



Buffy knew exactly who ‘her’ was. “Riiight.” She grinned. After watching Willow huff and puff at the insinuation but with no words coming out of her agape mouth, Buffy couldn’t help but laugh.



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



After lunch, Willow had to pass by the auditorium to help build the props and set for the end of the session production with Buffy instead of running off to the stables to be with Tara like she wanted to. She hadn’t seen the blonde since Tuesday and she was beginning to get restless.



As they entered the auditorium she was amazed at the whirl of activity. It wasn’t that the staff was actually already working on their individual tasks at hand, no, they were simply hanging around… joking, talking… it felt like the nightly bonfire without the bonfire. And, it was daytime too.



Pretty much everyone was waiting for the director to show up, and a few seconds later she arrived in all her pretentious glory. “Hello, my people!” Harmony smiled as she rushed in the auditorium with a couple of girls from the clique trailing behind her. She clapped her loose leaf filled hands, clearly in charge of this production, and addressed the scattered staff. “Everyone gather around! We have a lot to do today.”



Slowly the staff walked over to the circle of chairs and began to sit down.



“Isn't this exciting? Our first production!” Harmony squeaked in glee as she settled herself in her chair. It was one of those fabric chairs directors used and Willow had no idea where she’d gotten it from.



“Hello, we have one every year.” Devon reminded her. A couple of the gathered chuckled at the wry observation.



Harmony rolled her eyes at him and continued to talk like he hadn’t said a word. “All right, everyone, pay attention. In just a few moments we’re going to start rehearsing the steps and going over everything we’ve already started. Costumes. Sets. The things, you know, things, you touch them and hold them –“ She couldn’t seem to remember the word she was looking for.



“Props?” Willow suggested.



Harmony shook her head. “No…” She looked like she was still searching for the right word even though Willow was correct.



Buffy simply sighed and repeated, “Props.” a little louder.



Harmony’s face lit up, “Yes!” But, once she registered who had spoken, she looked down at her notes and continued to talk.



Willow and Buffy shared a look, it was going to be a long lunch break.



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



A few minutes after Harmony’s monologue Willow and a couple other stagehands were at the back of the stage working on the colorful backdrop for the play. They needed to create a forest like setting and Willow secretly snickered at the fact she’d had enough problems with forests and trees to last her all summer. All year even. But, at least she could use those haply adventures to paint a realistic forest now.



The redhead grew bored while stirring the can of green paint and, as woodsy thoughts turned to Tara filled ones, she quietly wished the blonde would pass by and visit her like she had once before.



“Willow?” Tara’s voice softly rang out from behind her.



Willow quickly turned around and brightly smiled, “I wish for a million dollars.” Off Tara’s inquisitive look Willow quickly replied, “Just checking.”



Tara giggled softly and moved to hug her love hello.



Willow relished being in between Tara’s loving arms, smelling her, touching her, hugging her… but the pain coming from her burnt shoulders was overpowering. “Owie.” She silently voiced.



Tara looked over at her, “What’s wrong?” She suddenly noticed the red cheeks and figured out the rest. “Are you sun burnt?” she asked, tenderly.



Willow gently nodded. “A bit. We went to a lake yesterday.”



Tara reached out, ready to delicately caress the redhead’s cheek, but realized they were other staff members around. She quickly lowered her arms and, not knowing what to do with them, she folded them across her chest.



Willow knew this as the ‘I’m uncomfortable now’ Tara pose and struggled to assuage her concern. “Come with me.” She said as she unlocked Tara’s arms and grabbed her hand. Tara followed her lead.



At the front of the stage was an enormous red curtain that separated the platform from where the audience would be sitting. Earlier, Willow had realized there were actually two red curtains about two feet apart that separated the stage from the audience. Knowing this, she and Tara journeyed into the intimate space. Midway from where she thought stage left began, Willow stopped and turned over to Tara. She spoke in a low voice, “Hi,” she grinned as her fingers caressed Tara's hand.



Tara smiled back. “Hey.”



Willow’s lips lightly joined hers while her hands reached to cup the blonde’s soft cheeks. As the kiss grew deeper the girls moved closer to each other and hands roamed over bodies. Fingers got lost in hair, mouths pressed against skin, legs tangled up, arms wrapped around each other. She was holding Tara and Tara was holding her.



Willow felt like she was going to burst. How was it Tara kisses always made her feel like this? Like she was floating. Floating on air.



Willow suddenly realized that she couldn’t feel the ground beneath her feet anymore and quickly opened her eyes. The ground was certainly not beneath her feet anymore, it was about two feet below her actually. Below the both of them.



Willow eye’s enlarged as soon as all this registered and looked to Tara for answers. “What the…”



Tara lips pressed against her mouth and quieted her, “Shhh. It’s ok.”



Willow knew it was ok. It was always ok with Tara. Even better than ok. It was perfect. It was magic. Always. Forever.

Ah Rane, what a sweet update... Stolen kisses.*happy sigh* And thank you so much for bringing Harmony back - I just love that character, and you always write her so well.

And well ok, perhaps there's was some reclaiming of lines and visuals that may already have been used on some TV show, but.. in what twisted dictionnary is that stealing, I ask you ?*g* I won't even mention the Panties Incident - as I'm sure pretty much everyone will. *g*
