Fic: Out of the Closet

Postby shootingstar » Fri Mar 29, 2002 10:42 pm

Well i figured with the board moving and such i would repost this (improvements and all) the last one was pretty mistake-y so here goes. there'll be an update soon...after Easter probably.



Title: From the Closet

Author: shooting star

Feedback: Yes please, I never notice my mistakes and all comments help. This is gonna be in script format, I find it easier and being a drama student its what i'm used to so...I might swap at some point if this format doesn't work like i want it to

Spoilers: Well none unless you don't know that Tara and Willow are a couple d'uh. Takes place after Who Are You and New Moon Rising doesn't happen ergo Willlow never told Buffy but Willow and Tara are all couple-y

Summary: My take on how Willow could have come out to the gang

Disclaimers: Joss, ME anyone else who owns them, no matter how hard i try to convince myself i don't own them. And yes i'm ripping off the dialogue

Rating: Haven't a clue, it has kissage and obviously Willows coming out



                        *********



Tara's dorm room. Night. Willow and Tara are lying on the bed snuggled together, kissing. They kiss for a while longer before Willow pulls away slightly, she takes a deep breath.



W: I wanna tell the gang about us



Tara looks surprised for a moment, and moves back slightly to look at her lover. She had been introduced to the Scoobies a couple of times, usually in a life or death type thing. She remembered voicing her concerns about being a secret they don't even know i exist right? I mean, i know all about them...'. It was almost immedientely after that, that Willow had introduced her to Buffy and the gang. Even though as it turned out it had been Faith not Buffy at the time. But this, this was a lot different.



T: (pause) Are you s-sure?

W: Well, yea. i mean i'm really happy and i want everyone to know. Before i wasn't sure about us, about what i was feeling but i really think your the person i could fall in love with, really fall in love with. And i like having something that's just you know mine but i feel like i wanna share that with everyone and usually i don't use so many words when i could just have said yes, but do you get it at all?

T: (smiles) I do..



Tara leans in and captures Willows lips in a loving kiss, after a few seconds she breaks the kiss but stayed close to her girlfriend.



T: I am you know.

W: What?

T: Yours.



Willow looks at Tara lovingly. Both girls smile and lean towards each other anticipating their lips. They met in a slow kiss which ,as many of their kisses did, builds passion.



W: (Big smile) See? Happiness.

T: (Returns the smile) So when are you gonna tell them?

W: (Turns to a nervous smile) Um..tomorrow? I think...

T: Do you want me there? Because i have a class in the morning but i can come with or meet you...

W: You probably shouldn't blow off your class...but i could use the support.



Willow moves and lies on her back, Tara rests her head on her chest.



W: I thought i would tell them in the morning, there's a meeting at Giles', then we could met for lunch or you could drop by after class? I figure we'll all still be there.

T: Sounds good. How about i meet you at Giles' and then we can get something to eat.

W: Great, I'm thinking the gang will probably wanna met you (frowns)...again.



Willow moves again, this time to sit up



T: (Rubbing her Willows arm) Are you nervous?

W: On a scale of one to ten...really really nervous. i mean i don't know how their gonna react, i wish i knew but i don't. (Pause) But they deserve to know, and i don't want to feel like i'm hiding anymore

T: No-one can tell you how they'll react, but you have to do what makes you happy. You'll be fine, they're your friends. What's the worst that could happen?

W: (Looking around the room) Right

This is a sweet start. But yes, must have an update soon. I like these early times stories. Always so much emotion and untapped storylines to plunder. :)

Thank you so much for all your comments. Here's an update for y'all...

Rating: Haven't a clue, it has kissage and obviously Willows coming out



                        **********



Giles' Apartment. Day.

Willow, Xander and Anya are sitting on the couch. Riley sits in one of the chairs. Buffy is pacing whilst Giles is standing by the kitchen doorway.



B: Nothing. Patrol's been totally uneventful.

A: But that's good right (Looks for support) I mean, less vampires equals less death

G: Unfortunately it's not that simple. Less vampire activity tends to mean there's a greater evil afoot.

B: Great, another Tuesday night in Sunnydale



Buffy now sits in Riley's lap. In the background we see Willow nervously fiddling with her hands.



X: So who's the Big Bad? (Off Buffys' look) Oh right...

R: Adam

A: But we already knew that...didn't we?

X: An, sweetheart, don't rain on the English mans parade. I'm sure there's some big news he's just waiting to tell us. Right?

G: (Sheepishly) Well i dare say not

B: So there's nothing new? No new evil?

G: I don't believe so

W: Well, i wouldn't say that

G: Willow?

W: Oh! No! No, new evil but there is some new...stuff

B: There is?

W: (Deciding to bite the proverbial bullet) Uh huh, see i'm kinda ga...(Changes her mind) Game! (Coughs) Game to patrol that's me.



The Scoobies all look at Willow bemused



W: And okay. You know i had this whole speech prepared and there were even some witty puns (Stands and begins to pace, much like Buffy was earlier) but now it comes to it, its kinda complicated.

B: Why complicated?

W: (Deep breath) Its complicated...because of Tara.



Willow stops pacing and looks around she is met with silence. A confused silence.



A: Tara? The witch? Oh! (As if suddenly understanding) She's evil isn't she?! i knew it, you have to look out for the shy ones. This one time at...

B: (Interrupting) Did she hurt you? I swear if she did...

A: Hey! Talking here, anyways this one time at band...

B: (Interrupting again) Well this is more important...

A: (standing to face Buffy who is also now standing) I spoke first so there. And my story has a flute and a redhead...

B: (Shouting back) Oh shut up Anya! If Tara hurt Willow...

W: (Standing in the middle of the room, shouts) Guys! No!(Turns to Buffy) Tara didn't hurt me (Turns to Anya) and she's not evil.

X: So not to be the ignorant one but...what's up?

W: Okay, this'll make me feel better right? (Begins pacing again) I want you guys to be the first to know that Tara and me...we're kinda...i'm sorta...shesmygirlfriend

GRXAB: What?!



Giles chokes on his tea.



W: (Slowly) She's my girlfriend



Willow is again met with silence. She is now standing by the research table facing the rest of the gang who are standing by the couch.



B: (Forced enthusiasm) Well...that's great Will

X: Yea she seems like a really...great girl Will

W: She is. Its not something i was looking for but...it's powerful



They take this in



A: So your all for the girl on girl action now?

X: Anya!

A: What? Oh is this that thing you were telling me about isn't it?



Xander nods



A: Right. Shutting up now.

W: Giles?



We now pan to Giles who is wearing a look of complete shock. Eyes wide, mouth hanging open, eyebrows



G: Um well, some tea perhaps?



He disappears into the kitchen leaving Willow looking upset.



W: Riley?

R: As an honorary member of the Lesbian Alliance i say good for you Willow. (Seriously) Your happy, that's what matters.

W: Thanks Riley.

B: How long have you been together?

W: (Pause) Um...two months

X: (Shocked) Two months? And this is the first we're hearing?



Buffys expression shows similar feeling.



W: Guys i wanted to tell you, i did. But i was so scared. i mean this is a huge thing. i didn't know what to do.



B: I'm glad you told us



They hug.



A: (Happily) Well i for one congratulate Willow on her journey into Girlstown! It means you don't want Xander...not that you could have had him. He's mine.

W: Thanks Anya...(Whispers) I think. Xander?



He simply looks at Willow



X: (Hurt) you should have told me sooner, your my best friend Will. I know your of living the collage life but (Stops to upset to continue)

W: I wanted to its just it's so hard. i'm sorry Xander but it's not exactly the easiest thing to tell people. What was i supposed to say? 'Pass the salt...oh and by the way i'm gay now'



Xander gives Willow an apologetic look but then walks out leaving the rest of them stunned.



tbc...

I don't know how to live in this world, if these are the choices. If everything gets stripped away...i don't see the point.

Yipee! A new update...and a good one too!

I like the way use some of the original dialog and I love the fact that it's the men (well except Riley, coz he's a softie) that are taken this badly...

Great Work, thank you.

Postby wolflord » Tue Apr 02, 2002 3:07 am

Good job! That was so deja vu when Xander walked out. I remember when my best friend (Vicki) in the world came out on her 19th birthday party. I was cheered her on since I already knew about her and her girlfriend, but another one of our friends totally freaked. Started yelling and saying bad things and then stormed out on her. To say the least it upset her, we all had been friends since like kindergarden. To say the least I did the comfort thing for her and then went and beat the crap out of my other best friend. He never did come back and I have not seen him in like 10 years now. I talk to Vicki everyday, she is still my best friend. She even set me up with my girlfriend..pays to have a lesbian for friend she tells me all things women like cuz I am a straight male which means an idiot to such things. But reading your story made me remember that not everybody is open minded and that there some people that will never understand about things. :evil :evil :evil dammit now I have to go call Vicki and tell her how much I appreciate and love her for being my best friend. And maybe go track down my old friend and beat the crap out of him again. :bounce :evil :bounce :evil :bounce

Thanks for the update, I am really enjoying this story. I find that I really like stories that fill in the gaps and show us parts of our girls life that the eps. don't



As for Xander's reaction, it seems very much in character. He is Will's best freind and I am sure is now haveing many many weird emotions, the least of all being a little bit hurt that Will thought she needed to hide Tara from him and the other Scoobies.



Keep up the good work, I await the next update :)

Still in Giles' living room. the room is in dead silence.



B: Will, i'm sure

W: (Interrupting) He hates me

B: I'm sure thats not true, he's your best friend

A: And he's not like homophobic infact he loves the idea of two

B: Shut up Anya!

A: Fine, geez wound tight much? i'm outta here.



Anya leaves



W: This is like a nightmare. Can i justwake up or, or get saved by an angel...or something?



At this point there is a knock at the door. We see suprised looks from Buffy, Giles and Riley.



W: Wow, good timing



Giles answers the door. He moves aside to reveal an awkward looking Tara.



T: (Hopeful smile) Hey?

G: Tara, hello



They stand for a moment. Tara looks and him expectantly.



G: Oh, yes. Sorry come on in.



She does. Buffy, Giles and Riley all watch her closely. Willow walks up to her and takes her hand.



W: (Whispers) I'm glad your here

T: It didn't go well? (Surveys the room, absent Xander and Anya)

W: Not great. Xander pretty much walked out on me.

B: (Interrupting, seems to be a specialty) Hey Tara! (Over friendly) How are you?



Buffy has now moved closer, about a metre away from the ahppy couple.



T: I'm f-fine thanks. Y-You?

B: Great, i'm great, great-y mcgreat great!

T: (Confused expression) Great

W: Well me should be going. You know lunch (Smiles, her expression reading dear god lets get out of here

T: (Not noticing) What about Xander?

W: (Upset) He walked out, he hates me.

T: Xander doesn't hate you, he's your best friend. You should go after him

W: You think? (Needing an excuse not to go) What about lunch?

T: I think Xanders more important than a sandwich sweetie.



Willow smiles, and hugs Tara as she pulls back she kisses Taras cheek



W: Thanks. (Turns to Buffy) Buffy, do you know where Xander would go?

B: I think he has work soon

W: Right! okay we're gonna...(Nods towards to door)

B: Great! (Realising her stupid behaviour, cringes. More seriously) good luck.



Willow smiles and they leave.



G: Well that was...

R: Yea

B: Yea

G: Drink? Tea?

B/R: Yea



tbc...
