Willow and Tara made their way up to their room to get changed, the punishments Miss Calender had chosen for them definitely required old and non to flattering clothing the redhead conceded.
“Do you think Buffy and Faith will be mad at us?” Tara worried, taking some old shorts out of a draw besides her bed.
“Nah I doubt it, Buffy will probably applaud you on a prank well done, although Faith may get a little cranky, Im sure they will both just think of something to get us back with, so don’t worry about it.” Willow reassured, also finding an old pair of shorts with the pocket ripped off from a previous patrol encounter.
The blonde smiled happy with her friends reassurance and held up a T-shirt and a vest top.
She had been trying to decide which one to wear, but gave up and concluded Willow could maybe choose, if not, she would have to do ‘miney mo!’
“Um Willow, which one should I wear” she asked hoping the redhead wouldn’t find her stupid for not being able to decide.
“Ummmm” Willow thought for a moment. “Well it is hot outside and the vest top is cooler but the T-shirt would protect you from the sun, although you would get all sweaty, which is actually not a bad idea from my perspective, but obviously is from yours, actually, both options are pretty nice from my perspective, because vest top... Woo cleavage, and sweaty is..... well... y’know.... Tara stop me please.” Willow begged, realising her babbling was getting out of control.
‘
Ok, so, Willow likes the image of me all sweaty and my cleavage, and those are definitely gay thoughts’ the blonde conceded. she suddenly remembered the conversation Willow and herself had been having, before Snyder rudely interrupted them, the redhead had almost answered her question and she desperately wanted to know the answer, but she didn’t want to seem pushy.
Should I ask her again and seem to pushy? or should I leave it and ask some other time, even though I’ll be wondering all the time? Tara contemplated.
“Tara” Willow said for a second time, trying to get the blondes attention, although it seemed she was in her own little universe.
“Oh, Im sorry Will, I was just.... y’know.... so, um, which one did you choose?” she asked changing the subject, the blonde had decided to ask Willow another time, wether they were girlfriends or not, she didn’t want to seem pushy. This was a big step for the redhead and pushing would only confuse her more.
“I chose the vest top” Willow concluded, pleased with her choice, she had come to the decision after a long conversation with herself in her head on the ‘goodness of sweaty against the goodness of cleavage’ evidently cleavage had won.
Tara nodded agreeing with Willow’s choice, she had known which one the redhead would choose and smiled inwardly, ‘I’ll bet myself ten dollars Willow is a breast girl’ she chuckled and then chastised herself for thinking such things.
Tara came out of her thoughts and realised Willow was just standing beside her own bed looking at her awkwardly, she though for a few seconds wondering what was wrong with the redhead and then she realised, Willow wanted to get changed, but she was uncomfortable doing it in front of the blonde, Willow picked up her chosen clothes and then began to take side steps towards the bathroom.
“I’ll, errr.... just get changed in here” she clarified before dashing off into the other room.
Tara just giggled, Willow was such a prude. She hurriedly changed into her old clothes and put on some old shoes. Then went over to the mirror besides Buffy’s bed to give her hair a quick brush. And then she was done. Sitting on the end of her bed she sat waiting for the redhead so they could walk to their designated punishment areas together.

ring ring..... ring ring.
“Hello” came an agitated male voice on the other end of the phone.
“Sir, I have positively Identified the person you requested I find”
“What? Are you sure it’s really them? Because if you are lying to me you little troll I will personally see to it that you are eliminated”
“Sir, I assure you it is definitely the one you have been searching for”
“It had better be, now where is she?”
“I want what you promised, before I disclose such information”
“You get what I promised when you disclose such information you ass hole, don’t piss me off, Im not to be messed with, now I will ask one more time. Where. is. she?”
“Sunnydale boarding school for girls, now please, just give me what you promised.”
“Don’t worry troll, you will get what you deserve.” the man on the other end of the phone laughed evilly, then hung up.

“So, um I’ll see you at lunch, Will?” Tara asked, while the two girls were walking to their punishment areas.
“Absolutely, you will see me at lunch, because, well, yummy goodness I shall need” Willow confirmed.
Tara chuckled at Willow’s answer, the redhead could never just say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ it was a fully fledged sentence.
“Don’t be mocking me Miss Maclay, Im a fully qualified demon hunter, with the ability to run and hide.” Willow warned humorously, as they came to a stand still.
Willow turned to face Tara, not knowing if she should kiss her before they went their separate ways.
Cheek? Or lips? she contemplated.
Tara stood watching the expressions run across Willow’s face as she was thinking, then, leaning forward the redhead pressed her lips to the blondes right cheek and pulled away shyly.
“Cheek is more appropriate outdoors” she explained.
Tara nodded her understanding and kissed Willow on her left cheek before turning around and headed in the opposite direction.
The redhead turned around and did the same.
“Oh, Willow” Tara shouted. “Call me if you want to talk” she informed the redhead tapping her finger on her right temple indicating she meant telepathy.
Willow nodded and smiled. Now faced with the problem of when she should ‘call’ Tara, because technically she wanted to call her friend right now, but she decided that would make her seem to eager and would so have to wait at least a whole 5 minutes first.
To Be Continued....
