[Enigmatic]

Great update...loved Joyce's reaction, it was just like I thought it would be...I miss her a lot.

[Grimaldi]

good update. Joyce has got to be the coolest T.V. mom ever

Her reminding Willow to use complete sentences was funny.

"That movie has warpped my fragile little mind"

"All day I dream about fuckin' "

"Hey, look at the prostitutes you guys!"

[Blue77]

Nice update, Willow was adorable with the babble although the line that made me laugh was "Well we were kissing in your kitchen." I also liked the fact that Joyce was so cool about it, I'm sure she would have been.



Look forward to the next update.

[Emily First]

Yes...Who knew Joyce was so cool...Pity we never got to see that reaction on the show...Would have meant a lot.

vive,valeque.

[hellmouthhottie20]

Love the update.

I can just see Joyce saying that. lol

cant wait for the next.

I think riley would make a good orangutan. Hee Hee

one by on the penguins stole my sanity

[BigMac]

Like how Joyce was so cool about Willow and Tara kissing.

Tara: Assume Crash
Positions

[shootingstar]

Wow, all the feedback is so cool.



I really miss Joyce ! Your right jdcioffi, she was definalty the coolest t.v mom. I definatly think she would havee been cool when she found out about Willow and Tara, even though we never got to see it.



Anyways enough of my ranting on with the update...

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



                        **********

Summer's house.

Living room.



Xander and Anya are snuggled up on the couch. Riley is sat on the armchair opposite. Buffy appears to be fiddling with the television.



B: So what are we gonna watch?

X: Well, we got plenty of vids. And I'm putting in a preemptive bid for "Apocalypse Now," huh? (Points up the video)



Willow and Tara enter carrying a bowl of popcorn, bottles of coke and several glasses



W: (Frowns) Did you get anything less heart-of-darkness-y?

X: Apocalypse Now is a gay romp! (Looks to Willow and Tara) I mean...(Covering) It's the feel-good movie of whatever year it was.

B: (Changing the subject quickly) Don't worry we've got plenty of chick and soldier-guy films, these puppies should last us all night...(Pause) did I just call us chicks? Did I just call the videos puppies?

W: (Nods smiling) Uh huh. You've finally sucummb to Xander's way of talking soon you'll be on your way to babbling like a pro. (Turns to the couple on the couch) Xander, Anya you guys wanna move over? (Smiles) As a bribe we have the popcorn.



Anya takes a handful and passes it to Xander.



X: Ooh, you pushed the button on the microwave that says "popcorn"?

W: (shakes head) Actually, I pushed "defrost," but, um, Tara was there in the clinch.



Willow and Tara make their way over to the couch. Anya is sitting on Xanders lap now.



R: So what are we gonna watch?

B: Okay we have...

X: Wait! (Everyone looks at Xander) well if this is a vid-fest, an all night one, we should have pillows and sleeping bags

A: Yes it's customary much like orgasms during se..

B: (Interrupting) Okay, I'm gonna go grab some (Realising) Pillows! That is, and sleeping bags, duvets and such...Somebody wanna give me a hand? (Closing her eyes as she realsies what she just implied) No jokes please.



There is a slight silence



T: I'll help



B: (Smiles) Thanks Tara.



The two girls exit.



A: (To Willow) Your gonna leave them alone together?

W: (Uncertainly) Yea...

A: Huh, that's brave.

W: What?

A: Well I'd be worried if my girlfriend disappeared upstairs with my beautiful-slayer best friend who just happens to have one hell of a body, with big brea...

X: (Interrupting just in time) As much as hearing you talk about Buffy that way is both arousing and frightening, I don't think Willow is to happy

A: I'm just saying...

W: (Angrily) Tara wouldn't do that she loves me, and besides Buffy's not her type she prefers redheads who are me (Smugly) So there.



                        **********



Buffy's bedroom.



Buffy is rummaging through her wardrobe whilst Tara is stood by the bed folding various covers Buffy is turfing out. There is an air of awkwardness between the two.



B: So...



Another silence.



T: Yea so...

B: Your a witch, how's that working out for you?

T: Um, good. M-makes me feel safer at n-night.

B: (Smiles) Which is always good.



Buffy moves out of the wardrobe and closes the door. She is carrying another sleeping bag.



T: (Looking at the sleeping bag) Scooby-doo?

B: (Laughing) Yea, Willows idea. Y'know Scooby-gang.



Tara smiles at this that's my girl



B: You really love her don't you.

T: (Surprised) More than I thought possible

B: (Sincerly) I'm glad your happy, but if you hurt her I will beat you to death with a shovel.

T: W-What?

B: A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. (Off Tara's look) I'm kidding, well about the shovel part at least but if you hurt her...

T: I won't. I promise.

B: (Smiles) I didn't think you would. You're a good person.

T: (Smiling back) T-Thanks.

B: Well we have all the stuff. We should get back downstairs.



Betweeen them the two girls pick up all the various sleeping things and head downstairs.



TBC...

[BigMac]

Not bad but I like the part on what buffy said to Tara don't hurt willow.

Tara: Assume Crash
Positions

[ExtraFlameyWT]

Aww... that was so sweet! That talk with Buffy was very cute.



Good job!

"Hey Will, this is me. It doesn't all have to be good and fine. This is the room where you don't have to be brave. I still love you. If you're worried, you can be worried." -Tara to Willow in ep. 603 Afterlife

[shootingstar]

I'm having trouble with the next part...I can't decide what film the Scoobs could be watching. I have very limited film knowledge, darn it! I thought maybe Cruel Intentions *g* . Or a cheesy Kung Fu movie that Buffy can get mad at.



Ideas anyone please...?

[Grimaldi]

"That movie has warpped my fragile little mind"

[mollyig]

Tara wouldn't do that she loves me, and besides Buffy's not her

type she prefers redheads who are me (Smugly) So there.



I liked this line, it was patented Willow.

I could paint you in the dark, 'cause I've studied you with hunger as a work of art - Collecting you (Indigo Girls)

[shootingstar]

Yea the blonde one was quite fine...as is my friend, and she's kinda kooky like her, lol! And I have a ginger friend who is also quite fine, actually now I think about it, most of my friends are good-looking damn them!



Thanks for eveyone's ideas...but Ellie, Peter Pan? I always liked Tinkerbell she was so cool...ahem anyway...come out of you hole, or at least move over so I can join you



Luv Star x

[jdcioffi]

Loved the update -- Buffiness and Taraness ... nice.



Now, as for the films ... I'm kinda a film-buff. So if you have a theme or some kinda scene you want them to see -- let me know. I'll suggest some title for you.



JD

...but if I did call, she wouldn't hang up on me.

[witchbitchwillow]

*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!*

[shootingstar]

Hmm...I'm thinking I might chose The Craft as the film 'cos Willow and Tara can yell at it for the witchcraft, but the bug part is all icky and spooky so there can be snuggles



As for the hole...It sounds very cool but Ellie you forgot the most important thing Chocolate! And lots of m&m's 'cos there like the nicest thing ever, Oh! and mini m&m's 'cos even though they don't taste as nice there all mini and I can do all my Austin Powers impressions teehee.

                        ***********

Summer's House.

Living Room.



Riley is sat eating popcorn staring mindlessly at the television. Xander and Anya are making out on end of the couch, and an awkward-but-pissed-off looking Willow is sat the other end.



W: (To Xander and Anya) Could you guys either get a room or quit it?

X: (Pulling away from Anya) Sorry, got a little carried away.

A: You're just jealous because your orgasm friend is upstairs and you're all lonely.

W: Shut-up Anya.

A: It's true, and watching us can't bother you that much. It's not like you're getting turned on by it, 'cos hello?! (Points to Willow) Gay, now.

W: Xander I'm turning your girlfriend into a rabbit.

X: Woah, okay girls calm down.

A: That's not funny Willow

X: Okay, Anya stop pissing off Willow and Willow stop pissing off Anya...and no bunny threats.



Tara and Buffy enter the room carrying duvets, pillows and sleeping bags.



B: We're back (Dumps everything down, as does Tara) And since I carried it I'm taking the biggest duvet.

W: Oh, oh! Can we have the...

B: Scooby-doo one? Yes.

W: Yay.



Buffy throws the Scooby-doo duvet to Willow. Tara hands her a pillow. Xander picks up the rest. They all get comfy.



B: So, did we decide what to watch?

X: Well, we have quite the range. Lets see...Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

A: No! Nu uh. Nothing with bunnies. How could you even suggest that?

X: Sorry sweetie, slipped my mind.

W: (To Tara) Anya has bunny phobia (Loudly) Which is so stupid.

A: Hey! Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes (Looks at the groups skeptical looks) They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little nose. And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eye sight for anyway?



Silence.



A: What? (More silence) What? (Pause) fine, what else is there?

X: Practical magic?

W: No! No, no, no, no, no, no!

X: Ok, what's wrong with this one?

W/T: Frogs.

B: (To Tara) You've heard about the frog phobia, huh?

T: Yea, we walked through the park and saw one. Willow spend about an hour telling me how frogs are the spawn of satan.

A: Like bunnies.

W: It's totally different.

A: How?

W: Well, bunnies are...and frogs are, with the slime-y and (Beaten) Oh shut up.

B: (Laughing) What else?

X: Some movie called...oh I can't belive this! Look, look! Duffy the Vampire Killer!

B: What?!

X: She even looks like you!

B: What?! No, she doesn't. Please I do not look like Kirsty Swanson my waists much better and I look better in leather.

W: (Ignoring the leather comment) What else?

X: (Laughing) Buffy your video collection is scary. Peter Pan. You have Peter Pan?

B: Hey! I was eleven.

W: I always liked Tinkerbell.

T: Really?

W: Oh, not like that 'cos she's a cartoon and I don't...that's more of a Xander thing.

X: Hey!

W: Cinderella...

X: (Sheepishly) Right...(Sees Anyas look) I was nine.

A: Do I have to dress up like Cinderella to get your attention now?

X: Please god, don't let that be sarcasm.

T: (Ignoring that) Tinkerbell?

W: I was ten, but now I have you so...hey! Maybe that's why the tiny tinkerbell light is so arous...(Tara nudges her) er...um...accurate!



Tara gives her a sweetie-that-doesn't-make-sense-look.



W: (Nervous laugh) So what else?

X: Oooooo, Hocus Pocus

A: Oh, please

W: (Sarcastic) Yea, that's an accurate witchcraft film.

A: Actually it is.

W/T: What?

A: Well not the witchcraft. Obviously. But the women existed, they weren't so much evil witches as they were disembowling children.

T: The flying part was nice.

X: So was Sarah Jessica Parker.



Anya smaks Xander on the arm.



X: Ow! i was just saying, Riley back me up here man.

R: (Looks up from the television to Buffy) Sorry Xander. (Points to Buffy) Slayer strength.

X: Pfft, you big girl. Willow? Tara? Back me up here.

W: I do have a thing for blondes (Winks at Tara, who smiles).

X: Oooo...are we gonna get to hear stories?



Anya hits him again.



X: Ow again!

A: Don't ask the witches sex questions. That's what I'm hear for. And don't leer at Tara like that.

X: What?

W: You were leering at my girlfriend?

X: No, no I wasn't. not at all, not that your not attractive because you are, very attractive in fact...(Sees Willow and Anyas looks)...but not like that to me because I...give up. Gonna shut up now.

T: (Smiling) We get it, you weren't leering.

W: He was, who wouldn't? It's the hotness of you duffus. But if I have to fight to keep you I gotta tell you, I'm not large with the butch. (Pauses) Although I think I could take Xander.



Tara smirks and puts her arm around Willow, who curls up to her girlfriend.



T: Not going anywhere.



Everyone lapses into a comfortable silence.



B: weren't we talking about something?

W: Yea...it was...

T: Um...

A: Er...

R: Ah...

X: Oh, movies!

W/T/B/R/A: Right!

X: So what one?

B: Oh, put on The Craft! That's amazing! Cool with you guys?

W/T/R/A/X: Yea



Xander goes over to the VCR and outs in a tape.



TBC...



Next time on Out of the Clsoet, the Scoobies will finally watch a video with much snuggling and two very embarressed scoobies.

[BigMac]

I like movie night with the scoobies it is so funny.

Tara: Assume Crash
Positions

[ExtraFlameyWT]

Great update! I love how you've incorporated actual lines from the show... especially Anya's bunny one! hehe



I wonder what the movie will be?



Update soon!

Very nice ... and I love the frog/bunny comparison ... very well done. It's interesting to see the actual lines from an ep used this way.



More soon, I hope.

JD

...but if I did call, she wouldn't hang up on me.

[The Rose24]

I am late responding to this story, but what is with all of the Riley bashing? He treated Buffy like a queen even when she didn't deserve it. Yes, he made some mistakes, but so has the other Scoobies. Why don't you turn someone like Spike into a fly or a toad? I personally wish Buffy would stake Spike. A vicious, unrepentent murderer is more frog territory.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.

Tara: Willow, I got so lost.
Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

Willow: Hi, um Tara. I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?

Maybe that's why the tiny tinkerbell light is so arous...(Tara nudges her) er...um...accurate!
