Chapter 12

Postby musicmad10 » Mon Feb 02, 2004 9:59 pm

Hello, sorry for the long wait.

I think this will be the penulatmet chapter. The next one is most likely the last chapter.



I hope you like it.



Chapter 12 – Toilet Talk





Empty, lonely, eerie, all these describe the long corridors in Sunnydale High School. As Willow walks across the tiled floor, all she can hear is the squeaking of her shoes on the newly polished floor. She is desperately searching for her friend, as she told the class. Really it is her girlfriend but she decided to leave the girl part out, when shouting at the whole class and teacher. As she stormed out, all she felt was anger and rage.

Now after walking around the lonely corridors for five minutes, her rage has finally calmed down but it has now turned in to worry.



She stops suddenly as she hears a noise. It’s faint, but could it be possible? Willow stands still and listens. As she stands silently waiting, the noise sounds again. It sounds like it could be crying. The noise is coming from the direction of the girl’s toilets at the end of the corridor. Willow begins to move; as she gets closer the sound becomes more like crying as it echoes down the corridors.



Willow is now stood right in front of the door. The noise that started out only as a faint muffle is now very obviously a distressed cry. She slowly opens the door. A strange thing then happened. As soon as the door lets out the smallest of creaks as it opens the crying stops. Its as if it’s automatic.



Weird! Someone is defiantly here. Thinks Willow as she enters the toilets.



She looks down the row of toilets to spot if there are any feet visible. None.



Ok, no feet. Someone is really into hiding. Please let this be Tara, or I’ll feel like a right prat.



Willow begins to walk up the row of toilets, checking that all the doors are open.



Two toilets left. Right one of these will have the door shut, and I will have struck lucky! Thinks Willow continuing to look. Bingo!



She is now stood outside the last toilet. It has the door shut. As she comes nearer the door, she suddenly hears a sharp in take of breath coming from inside.



“Um, Is anyone in there?” asks Willow quietly, tapping on the door.

No answer.

“Come on, I heard you crying. Who is it?” asks Willow in a calm voice.

“Me,” says a voice coming from inside.

“I don’t know who me… Tara?”

“Um, yes,”

“Can I come in?” says Willow in a pleading sort of voice.

“I suppose so. But it’s defiantly Willow not someone pretending?” asks a nervous voice.

“It’s me. Ok you don’t believe me. Ok what do only you and me know, um… Right we going out. Oh ok, not that um… You squeezed my bottom when we were making a sandwich for Buffy! There, see!” smiles Willow, thinking about that very moment.

“I did not! Anyway I believe you!” sniffles Tara opening the door slowly.



For a second or two the two of them stand and stare at each other. It’s as if they’re studying each other. As their eyes wander over the curves of each other’s faces they begin to smile slightly. Willow can’t hold back anymore as she looks at Tara’s tear stained face. She rushes forward and gives Tara a big hug. As she does so, she feels some resistance. Tara shrugs off Willow from around herself. Willow reluctantly lets go and takes one step back, not understanding why she shouldn’t hug her.



Tara then looks at Willow’s confused face and begins to cry again. She flops down onto the toilet again and puts her head in her hands.

“What’s wrong? Apart from the obvious?” asks Willow kneeling down in front of Tara.

“I just wanted to fit in. Have friends; get on with people,” she says, but then trails off.

“Bu…But you do have friends, and me!” replies Willow quite shocked.

Willow puts her hands on Tara’s arms encouraging her to speak.

“I know, it’s just… I just want people to like me. It’s just like my old school, people just laugh at me!” she sobs still not looking at Willow.

“I know. So at first no one laughs at you, then you meet me, we become friends and go out. Now people laugh at you. God I’m so stupid!” replies Willow.

“No!” says Tara snapping her head up, looking directly at Willow, “It’s not your fault. It’s everyone else that has the problem not you!”

“But,”

“No buts. And anyway if it is all your fault. I forgive you,” smiles Tara shyly.

“Really?” smiles Willow.

“Really, really!” says Tara and begins to kiss Willow.



Just then a face appears around the toilet door. Tara and Willow pull apart quickly, their faces turning red as the kiss had just then become more heated.

“Um…” says the girl.

She has long brown hair and wears a slightly shocked expression.

“Michelle! So…sorry, we um didn’t hear you come in,” says Tara, to the shy girl who is also known as ‘no friends’ or ‘geek’.

“Go away!” shouts Willow.

This shocks both other girls.

“You laughed in the lesson, so go away! And don’t tell anyone about this!” says Willow extremely grumpily.

“What? I was laughing about something on my computer, and you tell me to go away?” says Michelle.

“Huh?” says Willow.

“I don’t know what everyone was laughing about, honest. Well I suppose I do now,” she says.

“Really? You don’t know?” asks Tara looking at Willow surprised.

“Well, I didn’t, no,” she says beginning to smile.

“Oh. Why are you smiling?” asks Willow, “Oh don’t tell me you’re homophobic? No you can’t be or you wouldn’t be smiling?”

“Well you can’t tell anyone but I have a secret,” she says.

“Go on. I don’t want to go back to I.T, so go ahead,” says Willow.

“I haven’t come out, but I think I like girls,” says Michelle shyly.

“Wow, we’re the first to know?” says Tara, quite honoured by the thought.

“Well, um yeah. I’m just glad I’m not the only one,” she smiles.

“Wanna stay here and talk?” asks Willow becoming less cautious of the girl.

“Yeah, that would be nice,” replies Michelle.

“So, how long have you been well, liking girls?” Willow starts off.



The conversation lasts until the bell for the next lesson rings out. The three girls have been enjoying their conversation so much they have missed the whole lesson.

“Oh, no we’re in so much trouble,” worries Michelle.

Michelle is a lot like Willow as she also is a very sensible, well-behaved student. Now, in one lesson both girls have done something they never thought possible for themselves. Broken the school rules. Neither mind too much, not even Tara minds as the three of them have made another friend or friends in each other.

Awww, how cute. The closet case comes out to Willow and Tara.



This is the penultimate chapter? That's too bad, I was enjoying reading this fic. All I can say, is you'd better give it a satisfying ending... or we'll all be after you to write more!

Willow: Hey Buff. One more thing. Buffy: Yeah? Willow: I’m gay. Buffy: Okay, Will. Xander owes me ten bucks.

Last chapter

Hello, this is the last chapter, and also the longest. So i hope you enjoy it.



Chapter 13 – 6 Months Later





As the title suggests it is 6 months later after the toilet talk chapter.

It is February 7th and Tara’s Birthday. Today she is becoming 16. Her friends have made a surprise party for her and are nervously waiting in her living room for her to arrive home from a shopping trip.



Tara is deep in thought as she walks down the road towards her house.



It’s 4pm and I still haven’t seen any of my friends. I suppose they might have forgotten. Maybe. Or they’ve fallen out with me.



She continues to think about her birthday as she unlocks her front door. She heads for the kitchen to put her shopping away in the cupboards and in the fridge. Suddenly she hears a quiet noise coming from the living room.



Burglars! Oh my God! Call the police! No don’t be silly, I’ll go and check! She thinks.



Tara quickly walks over to the living room door, which is now shut.



Huh? I didn’t shut it? Oh well.



Slowly she opens the door, and steps in side. Nothing.



There’s no one here! Hey? I was hoping it would be my friends. I don’t know why? I still reckon they’ve forgotten.



“Happy Birthday!” shout 5 excited people as they jump up from behind the sofa and the chair.



Or they made a surprise party! Cool!



Tara can’t believe they’ve been here that long without her knowing. She knows Anya, can hardly keep secrets, and it’s very difficult fro Buffy and Willow to be still and quiet long enough for her to come into the living room.



“Cool!” is all Tara can say as she grins.

“Surprise!” giggles Willow.

“It is,” smiles Tara.

The 5 of them sing happy birthday, and walk out from their hiding places.

Willow is the first person to go over to Tara.

“Glad you like it. And we’ve got cake, and lots of food and presents!”

“I think you’re the most excited!” giggles Tara.

“Oh no!” she replies.

“Well what are we going to do now?” asks Tara.

“Open presents!” grins Michelle.

“Yes! Oh good idea!” replies Anya, excitedly.

“Calm down, its Tara’s birthday, not yours!” grins Xander.

“Right, ok, sorry,” she says.



Willow takes Tara over to the sofa and they sit down.

“Ok, so who’s present is first?” asks Tara cheerfully.

“Mine!” shouts Anya.

“Ok?” says Tara suspicious of what Anya has bought her.

Anya pushes past Xander and Buffy, and hangs a smallish parcel to Tara.

Everyone watches carefully while Tara opens it.

“It’s um, very nice, thanks,” says Tara trying to smile.

“I know it’s great isn’t it? I found it and I thought as you’re now 16 you might want it. Well both of you are 16,” she grins pointing at Tara then at Willow.

They all stare at Anya’s present. It’s a t-shirt that say ’16, I’m legal age woohoo!’. It also has a picture of a bed with people in it.

“Yeah thanks,” says Tara.

“By the way that’s not my present as well. Mine’s separate,” says Xander.

“I might be able to guess that,” smiles Tara.



Tara continued to open her presents. From Xander she got a necklace. Buffy gave her a DVD of her favourite film, American Pie the Wedding. She seems to like it especially because of the lead girl; funnily she looks like her girlfriend! And Michelle gave her a tasteful t-shirt, unlike Anya.



“Wow, thanks guys. These are great,” grins Tara.

“You’ll like Willow’s I bet!” smiles Anya.

“Willow?” asks Tara.

“Uh, later,” she says nervously.

“Later?”

“Yeah, it’s better later. You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” she smiles with a hint of anxiety.

“Oh, ok,” replies Tara, wondering what on Earth it is.

“Right, anyone want any cake?” says Willow, quickly changing the subject.

“Oh yes!” everyone says.



Willow walks out into the kitchen, trying to remember where she put the cake.

“It was somewhere safe!” she says scurrying around.

She turns around and sees Tara at the door.

“Hi, I’m just getting it,” she says with a guilty voice.

“What’s wrong?”

“Um ok, trying to find the cake. I put it in here somewhere,” she sighs, looking in all the cupboards.

“Want some help?” asks Tara.

“Uh, yeah,” she says.



So the two of them search for another couple of minutes, when Willow finally finds it.

“Got it! Now go sit back down, so I can bring it in!” she says.

“Ok, see you in a minute!” winks Tara leaving the room.



The rest of the afternoon went well, with everyone enjoying themselves. Tara even forgot about Willow’s promise of getting her present later.

“Bye, see you Monday,” says Tara after the last guest has gone.

She sighs and turns around.

“Uh!” Tara almost screams as she knocks into someone behind her.

“It’s ok, it’s only me!”

“God, nearly gave me a heart attack!” says Tara.

“Sorry,”

“Anyway Willow, how come your still here. I thought you were gone? I mean I haven’t seen you for like half an hour!” she replies.

“Well would I leave without saying bye?” she grins.

“Uh well, no, I suppose not,” says Tara realising the smile having lessoned on Willow’s face.

“What’s the matter?” she asks.

“N…Nothing,” replies Willow.

“Oookkayy?” says Tara suspiciously.

“Really, ok, do you wanna come and watch TV? I’m staying a bit longer. Well if you want me too?”

“Yeah, longer’s fine, obviously,”

“So, TV ok?”



Suddenly Tara remembers Willow’s present.

“Can I see your present first?” she asks smiling.

“Uh, n…no, I…im not, I mean it’s n…not ready. Just, uh, n…not yet!” she stammers.

“You don’t stutter! What’s going on?” asks Tara.

“N…nothing? Why would something be wrong?” she says, trying to smile.

“I know there’s something up. And where are my parents?” asks Tara.

“Oh they said they where going out, and coming back tomorrow,”

“Right? Ok?”

“TV?”

“Fine, ok,”



The pair snuggles up on the sofa and watch Casualty.

The time flies by, and soon its 9pm and the programme is ending.



Oh no, she’s gonna want my present. And oh my God! I’m so nervous! What if she doesn’t like it? Worries Willow.



“That was good,” smiles Tara giving Willow a kiss on the cheek.

“Uh yeah,”

“So this present?” she grins.

“You are persistent!” smiles Willow.

“Yeah I am! But you said later, and this is a lot later!”

“True!”

“Ok what is it?”



Oh my God! Gulps Willow.



“Are you sure want it now?”

“Yes, defiantly!”

“Ok, follow me upstairs,”

“Oh, cool, its upstairs,”



Now, I’m beginning to wonder, what type of present this actually is? Thinks Tara.



Willow leads her to Tara’s bedroom.



Let her like this, or I am stuffed!



Tara slowly opens the door, and everything is dark apart from some candles. Her heart almost stops as she realises what’s going on.



Uh? Her present is different! She thinks to herself as she plays with her hands.



Tara walks in and sees a rose on her pillow, and turns around and smiles at Willow.

“Um, d…do you l…like it?” asks Willow nervously coming up behind Tara.

“Very,” smiles Tara, “I was secretly hoping you might have something like this in mind!”



Willow is quite surprised by Tara’s answer, but pleased at the same time.



“We’re going to have a nice quiet nice, just you and me. No parents, no friends, just us! Doing what we want!” says Willow, “That’s my present!”

“Sounds very good to me! Best present ever!” grins Tara kissing Willow.

“So what do you want to do?” asks Willow grinning.

“Oh you know, very well!” smiles Tara taking her to the bed.



THE END!!!
