This took a while longer to write than I previously planned but here it is...
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.

Summer's House.
Living Room.
A: So as I was saying...
B: Wait!
Everyone looks at Buffy
A: What?
B: How would you know any juicy stories about Willow and Tara?
A: Well, it's a rumour I heard...which judging by the looks of those two (Points to Willow and Tara) is probably true.
B: Well, okay then. Go ahead.
A: Good, now this story involves a certain redhead and a certain blonde and a laundry room.
T: Oh Goddess...
W: Not this one...
A: You've heard it?
W/T: Uh huh
A: Is it true?
B: Hey! We haven't even heard the story!
At this Anya moves foward as if parting with a deep secret.
A: Okay, well I was wondering around town one day looking for Xander when I overheard a group of people talking.
B: You were evesdropping on someone elses conversation?
A: As an ex-demon, its not exactly top of the list of 'The Evilest Things I've Done'
X: (Sweetly) That's the girl I love
A: (Smiles) Thank you sweetie.
R: Back to the story...
A: Right, if you stop with all the interuptions I'll tell it! Geez, it's like someone's purposely trying to delay the telling of this story.
B: Or your just a tease.
Everyone looks at Buffy
B: I really just said that didn't I?
X: (Grinning like a chesire-cat) Oh yea...
A: I'm not a tease well outside the bedroo...
B: Too much information, you're heading into over-share teritory
A: (Angrily) Do you want me to tell the story or not?
B: Sorry.
X: We'll be good.
A: Okay this is what I heard...

Cut to:
UC Sunnydale
Dorm Corridor.
Willow and Tara are walking down together carrying large bags of laundry.
T: I hate laundry.
W: Me to. Damn stinky shirts with there less-clean-than-your-other-shirt attitudes
T: Aw poor baby. we could blow it off (Frowns) Well that came out wrong (Frowns again) So did that. I'm g-gonna shut up now.
W: (Laughing) I know what you mean. But I should probably do some, I have no clean clothes left.
T: Yea, I was kinda wondering about... (Points to Willows outfit)
We Pan out to reveal Willow wearing a fluffy red-muppet top, tye-dyed orange shorts and a tea-cosy hat.
W: It's not funny! They're all the clothes I had left.
T: You know you could h-have borrowed some of mine if you wanted.
The girls pass a group of people standing around outside someone's dorm room. They look-up and point at Willow as they pass them by.
W: I'm starting to think that would have been a great idea
T: (Laughing) I kinda like it. It's very...
W: Colourblind?
T: Willow-ish.
W: You think this is Willow-ish?
T: Only you would wear something like that, even if it is when you have no clean clothes.
W: Thanks...I think.
Willow and Tara now enter into the campus laundry room which is deserted.
W: (Putting down her bags) Guess I'm not the only one who hates laundry.
T: Guess not.
Tara puts down her bags and hands three of the five to Willow.
W: (Adding them to her other four) Thanks for carrying those.
T: Not a problem.
They both head about doing the usual laundry duty. Tara finishes her one bag quickly then turns to help Willow with hers.
W: You know, the laundry room is empty
T: (Innocently) Yea...
W: We're all alone
T: Yea...
Willow moves in to kiss Tara. Hands begin to roam, clothes end up on the floor. Off-screen we hear loud noises.
W: Oh crap!
T: That's not good.
Willow and Tara hurry to gather their clothes when in burst three freshman giggling and joking around.
Freshman#1: And then I said...
Freshman#2: Holy cow!
Freshman#1: No, god I hate when you try to finish my stories!
Freshman#3: (Points to Willow and Tara who are half-dressed) I think she meant that...
Freshman#1: Holy cow!
Freshman#2: I told you.
W: (Blushing) Hey, we were just, he...um goddess this is so embarressing.
Freshman#3: We should...(Makes a quick exit dropping her laundry)
Freshman#1: Yea, we're gonna...
The other two run out of the laundry room.
T: (Laughing) Whoops
W: Oh man, this is gonna get around campus
Willow looks to Tara for a sympathectic answer instead she sees her in silent hysterics.
W: It's not funny.
T: (Between laughs) No, it really isn't
W: (Mock-angry) It's not...(Pause) Okay maybe it's a little funny...okay it's friggin hilarious.
They both disolve into laughter.
W: (Catching her breath) Okay, I can't breath...ow tummy hurts.
T: Aw, baby d'ya want be to rub it better?
W: (Smiling) Uh huh.
Tara closes the gap on Willow and again hands begin to roam, clothes end up on the floor. Off-screen we hear loud noises. Lo and behold another couple of freshman enter...
Freshman: Woah! Holy cow!
W: (Groaning) Not again! Geez, this is just not funny!
Freshman exits.
T: We are in the laundry room
W: We're gonna get a reputation you know...
T: (Innocently) For what?...Horny lesbians in the Laundry Room?
W: What?!
T: (Smiles) You don't like it?
W

Vowel sounds) It sounds more like a cheap porn movie!
T: (Mock-hurt) Just trying a little spicy talk.
W: And the scary thing...it's turning me on...
                        **********
Summers House.
Living Room.
Everyone is rolling around the floor laughing.
B: You got caught...
X: By freshman...
R: In the laundry room...
B/R/X: Twice!
Willow and Tara are slowly disappearing behind the pillows.
W: It's not funny, it was humiliating!
T: I thought it was funny...(Pause) The f-first time anyway.
B: Anya, thank you! I needed a good laugh!
A: What?
B: Come on, planning this story. When did you have time to do this?
A: I repeat. What?
B: Well, it's a joke right?
A: Again, what?
B: The story, I mean they would never do that! They're way to shy.
W: Hey!
B: It's true, you're to shy to do anything like that. No offense, I mean it was a good effort I almost fell for it.
A: I wasn't joking.
Buffy stops laughing a look of realisation passing over her face.
B: Oh.
Willow and Tara grimace at the silence coming form the slayer...a few moments pass.
B: So you guys really...
W: Yea...
T: Uh huh
Buffy breaks into more hysterical laughter
B: That's priceless!
