Chapter 1
Tara! Open the door!
No!
Tara Maclay! I am warning you one last time, you better open this door right now before I
Before you what? Tara cheekily said as she meekly peeked her head through the door separating her room from the hallway, that presently contained one feisty brunette.
Before I do this! Faith shouted as she launched herself against the door and towards Tara, pushing both of them back into Taras bedroom.
Faith! Tara admonished. You promised to be good in the living room and not move an inch. That was the only reason I let you in!
Well yeah, that was until I saw what you were wearing! And besides Im not well known for being good. Faith gave Tara a cheeky wink.
And what may I perhaps ask, is wrong with what Im wearing? Tara asked, raising an eyebrow.
Well, other than the fact that theyre fit for my grandma. Tare, come on will you just take a look at ya? Look, youve got the right curves in all the right places, check you out. Faith said as she pushed Tara towards the body length mirror at the corner of Taras room. Just look, youre one sexy lady Tare.
N-n-no Im n-not. Tara blushed as she wrapped her arms around her own waist and looked away from the mirror.
You are. Faith said gently. And you need to believe in that sometime soon you know that?
Tara quirked into a half smile. Since when did you get so nice and quiet?
Since youre my best friend. Faith replied simply, giving Tara a good natured grin.
Now, thats said and done. Let us get you fixed up with something a little more like me and a little less like good old grandma Faith commented as she rummaged through Taras wardrobe. Aha, here we go. This is perfect! Now just be good, put this on and we can get ourselves over to the Bronze.
Taras eyes widened in shock as she watched Faith advance towards her menacingly, or so it seemed in her mind, with a revealing white cotton top and a pair of tight low cut black pants.
Faith, no She groaned, backing away from her slowly. < Oh god, this is going to be a long night...>

Buffy Can I not go? Please? Pretty pretty please with tiny marshmallows on top? Willow pleaded with the best puppy dog eyes she could summon.
Nope. Buffy replied quickly as she bent down, lacing up her boots.
But, but Willow trailed off helplessly.
Not buts, were going and thats final. Come on Will, you need to get out of the house. And I mean out of the house to do something else other than to go to work. Buffy quickly interjected as she saw Willow open her mouth to claim that she does get out of the house.
I know Buffy, its just that Things have been so different, you know, ever since Diane left.
I know Will. Buffy replied quietly. But that is also the reason why we have to get you out of the house. I dont want to see you sitting in here every night, beating yourself up so hard inside. It wasnt your fault she left, you need to understand that. You were perfect, the best girlfriend anyone could ever have.
Yeah, so perfect she left. Willow mumbled quietly.
Her loss Wil. Her loss. Youll find someone better. Someone who will love you, for you. Someone who will fall for Willow and stay fallen. But for that to happen, well have to get you out there.
But of all places, the Bronze? There are so many people there Buffy, and many people means big crowd, big crowd means the increased chances of bumping into Diane there, cause you know thats where she hangs out, not that it should bother me cause hey she was the one who left me and got herself some other chick and as you said it is her loss so I should just get on with my life without her but seeing Diane would probably mean Ill see the other chick and knowing Dianes character they will be so making out and seeing that would just make me upset, ok, maybe not like super upset but just a tiny wee bit upset Willow paused for a breather only to find Buffy staring at her with befuddled amusement.
Shooting Buffy an apologetic smile. Sorry.
Its ok Will, its all good, but youre just getting yourself worried over nothing. For now, there wont be any Diane, just you and me, best buddies, best friends, having a good time together. Ok? And if she pops up, dont worry, just give me a minute, Ill knock her out cold, drag her out of the Bronze and Ill come back and we can continue with our best friend bonding time.
Before Willow could reply, she found herself being gently steered out of the door of their apartment by her best friend. <Great, this is just great This is going to be such a horrid night>
***
I am telling you Buffy, we can always have best friend bonding time some place else, we could even have it right at home! So what say you and I just turn around right about now and head along back home? Good plan? Of course its a good plan! We get to avoid Diane and we get to have best friend bonding time!
Willow Letting out an exasperated sigh, Did you not hear a word I was saying back home?
I did
Good, so stop worrying Will, tonight will be fine. Grab a table will ya? Ill go get us some drinks. Saying that, Buffy weaved her way quickly and skillfully through the massive crowd.
"All Im saying is that it is going to be such a horrid night. Mumbled Willow grumpily.
As Willows gaze roamed around scanning the Bronze, her eyes fell upon a blonde clad in a pair of black pants and a loose fitting white top. The pants hung loosely off the girls waist, revealing a small portion of her smooth milky white midriff. The woman was quirking her lips into a half grin, her eyes sparkled and shone as a couple of strands of hair fell gently upon her face.
Standing at the same spot where Buffy had left her a second ago, the task of getting a table long forgotten, Willow stood there staring at the blonde woman, bedazzled by her enchanting beauty.
As the blonde turned her head, her eyes caught Willows. Sapphire blue met emerald green. Taking in a deep breath, Willows voice dropped down to a mere whisper, Or maybe not
