Spoilers: None.

Setting: AU. Willow and Tara meet in the most magical place on earth...They get to know each other with the help of some new friends and some old ones, too.

Rating: Overall PG-13, but maybe more mature ratings later....

Disclaimer: Please don't sue me ME. I'm a broke college student.

Notes: Well...I'm sort of nervous about posting this fic...Mostly because every time I finish it, my computer crashes or explodes or stops working. In the past 5 years, I have rewritten this story 4 times. That's four laptops that have exploded/crashed/milk and Reese's Puffs/Diet Coke. I'm hoping that 5th time's a charm. So here goes...I hope you enjoy it. Also...I have somewhat of a problem with boobs...They always seem to hit me in the face or hurt me in some way. So...unfortunately, most of the scenes in this fic that have to do with boobs actually happened. To me. In public where others could see. Doesn't mean I love boobies any less, though...



Chapter One

"Holy shit, B."

Faith looked up at the huge, colorful fairy tale castle that sat in front of them. "Look at it. It's just like in the movies."

"And on the commercials, too," Buffy chimed in. "Look! There's Timon and Simba! And there's Nemo, too."

"That's not Nemo, that's Flounder from The Little Mermaid."

Buffy scoffed at Faith. "Well, I'm sorry that I don't remember the name of every Disney character ever made, Faith."

"And you can just plant one on my nicely-shaped ass, B."

Buffy pulled Faith closely to her. "Don't tempt me, woman. We still have 6 more days of our honeymoon to celebrate." She thoughtfully looked to the sky for a few moments. "That gives me 144 hours to put my lips wherever I want. . .whenever I want." She accentuated her statement with a searing kiss, beneath the towering shadow of Cinderella's castle.

"Could you guys please stop making out for two seconds? There are literally thousands of little kids surrounding you right now! You're going to get us kicked out of the Magic Kingdom."

"Calm down, Red. We're just getting into the Disney spirit."

Willow scoffed. "Well, if you guys get any more into the Disney spirit, you'd be into each other's pants." She walked away from the castle. "Why did you guys invite me on your honeymoon in the first place?"

Faith wrapped her arms around the slight redhead and walked toward the sunlight, away from Buffy, who was studying some large swords in a gift shop close by. "Come on, Willow. We're in Disney World, for crying out loud. This place is supposed to make things happen. You're here because Buffy wanted you here. You know I can't refuse that woman anything."

Willow chuckled. "True."

"See? I just want to make her happy. And the one thing I know that makes her the happiest. . . is you."

Willow looked up with a smile on her face. "Thanks, Faith."

Faith pulled her closer. "Don't get all mushy on me, Red. We both know the real reason you're here. . .You have the hots for Cinderella."

"Oh, yeah. You know it."

They shared a laugh and walked back over to the waiting Buffy. Faith planted a kiss on Buffy's forehead. A concerned Buffy looked to the retreating Willow. "Is she okay, Faith?"

"She's fine, baby. Don't you worry your pretty little head about anything. We're going to have a blast this week. You ready for some fun, sweets?"

"I'm always ready for you."

"Hey, guys. Why don't we check out the parade that's about to start?"
Buffy and Faith shrugged their shoulders. "Sure," they both replied.

++++++++++++++

The girls sat on the curb in the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., the center of all the activity in Disney's Magic Kingdom. They waited for the parade to begin. Willow inhaled the scent of freshly popped popcorn, the warm sunshine enveloping her in a comfortable blanket of heat. The sight of the colorful decorations and happy children lifted her previously moody funk. "I can't believe we're here."

Buffy chimed in. "Me neither. . . I think I'm falling in love with the place already."

"Hey, don't go cheating on me already; We've only been married for three days."

Buffy smiled at Faith and squeezed her hand. "And they've been the best three days of my life."

Willow cleared her throat and whispered, "You guys are getting stared at by a group of teenaged boys." She peered a little closer. ". . .and there is definite drool."

They both laughed at the boys, as one of them headed across the street. He was immediately stopped by an officer who was blocking the road for the parade. The angry teenager headed back over to his laughing friends, embarrassed at being turned away and rejected in front of his friends. The officer sent a small wave to Buffy, Faith, and Willow. They waved back in thanks. "That was sweet. I guess it's a Disney thing. . .These people must suck at life outside of this place. Having to be so happy at all times has to have some sort of mental hold on you. It's like --"

Faith's comments were cut off as the voice of Julie Andrews boomed through some nearby speakers, signaling the start of the parade.

Leading the beginning of the parade were Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore. The sight of her favorite Disney character excited Buffy to no end. "Look! It's Eeyore! He's so cute! Look, he's all sad and depressed. How adorable!"

"B, he's not sad or depressed. He's a realist. The rest of them are either manic, hungry, or neurotic."

Buffy scoffed. "A realist? Come on, honey. Do you really think th--"

Buffy's comment was cut short as a sharp loud squeak erupted from Faith. The huge float that turned the corner in front of them held Ariel and Eric, both clothed in wedding attire. Faith laughed out loud in happiness. "Look! It's Ariel and Eric! Oh my god, this is amazing!"

She turned around to see to odd faces looking back at her. She shrugged her shoulders. "What? It's okay for B to squeal like a girl but not me?"

"That's exactly it," Willow said. "It's unnatural to see you being all girly.It's kinda-"

"Creepy? Weird? Twilight-zoney?" Buffy chimed in.

Faith frowned but kept staring at the float as it continued down the parade route. "What's so wrong about it?"

"Well, it's just different seeing you do girly things. I mean, I know you're a girl, and you have um, girl parts." Willow's eyes shifted quickly down to Faith's chest.

"Babe. . .I think Willow just checked me out. I think she just checked out my tits!"

The group of women were glared at by several families surrounding them. "Keep it down, Faith. You're gonna get us severely maimed here."

"Well, then stop staring at my BOOBS!" Faith laughed as Buffy blushed and turned away from her. "Aw, babe, am I embarrassing you? You want me to stop?"

"That would be nice, baby. What about you, Will?"

"That would be awesome." Willow shot a venomous glare at the raven-haired beauty.

Buffy turned to Faith. "See? Will agrees with me. So stop it, honey."

Faith leaned down and gave Buffy a quick kiss. "Done, baby." She looked up at the parade still going by. "Hey. Check out the mice," she chuckled.
In front of a float were lots of the mice from the movie Cinderella. They all had brooms in their hands, and they scampered merrily back and forth in front of the float. As the three women turned their attention to the mice, Faith let out a low whistle. "Check out that princess. She is hot. What do you think, Red? You like your women royal?"

Willow was not paying attention to her bickering friend. Her eyes were set dead ahead of her.

"Willow? WILLOW?!"

She ignored her name being called as she watched the float pass by. In it was Cinderella. . . a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful woman with full lips and a gorgeous smile. Her eyes were locked on the princess, and her heart stopped when she saw the woman look her way. As they stared at each other, the fairy tale princess gave the redhead a big smile, and with lips that made Willow sweat with something a little more than the heat, Cinderella mouthed two words to her: "Tara Maclay."

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Willow continued to watch the float as it disappeared around the corner. "Wow." Faith and Buffy watched the redhead continue to stare. They shared an amused glance at each other before snapping the redhead out of her princess-induced coma. "Hey Red! Wake up before you miss the rest of the parade." Willow slowly turned around, her big green eyes glistening in the afternoon sun. "Did you see her? She was beautiful. . .Those eyes, those lips. Those. . ." Willow cupped her own small breasts. "I want to go find her." Willow turned into the crowd, ready to go find her princess. A strong arm grabbed hers and pulled her painfully back to where she was standing. That arm belonged to Buffy. "Wait, Will."

Willow frowned and rubbed her tender appendage. "Geez, Buff. Have you been working out? That really hurt."

"Sorry, Will. But you can't go after her yet. She's not even done with the parade. And you don't even know her name."

"I do. She just told me. Did you not see her?"

Buffy looked at Willow, a look of doubt painted on her face. "She just told you her name? From 50 feet away? Come on, Will."

"She did! I'm going to go find her right now. I'll see you guys later."

The determined Willow took off in the direction of Cinderella's float, leaving a confused and shocked Buffy in her dust.

Willow worked her way through the crowd, keeping her eye on the group of mice in front of Cinderella's float. Finally, she reached the gate where the floats would disappear. Up ahead, she could see the mice jumping around in front of the carriage. She waited anxiously for the float to get near enough to where Willow could see the beautiful princess in the carriage. As the mice got closer, Willow's heartbeat got faster. She blushed heavily as the carriage passed by her, her princess waving at the small children getting their last glimpse of Cinderella. She spotted Willow near the gate, and gave her the biggest smile, her cheeks rosy in color. Willow smiled back, and gave a little wave. As she passed, she blew Willow a kiss, and said, "Service desk."

A confused look passed across Willow's face as she thought about what the princess had said. Service desk? What about it? Willow thought for a moment, and decided that she should go to the service desk to ask to see Cinderella. She took off in the direction of the front entrance, pushing through the crowds of small children and parents. As she jogged up to the desk, a man gave her the once-over."And how may I help you, Ma'am?"

Willow stared back. "Umm, I need to find Cinderella, I mean, Tara Maclay."

"We can only release that sort of information to relatives."

Think quick, Rosenberg. "I know, I'm her sister, uh, Wilma! Yeah, Wilma."

The man gave her a smug smile, and searched through the computer. He turned back to the redhead and laughed. "Sorry, Wilma, but your name is not on Ms. Maclay list of relatives. And as of right now, you have two options: You can join me for dinner tonight and we can forget about this little incident, or you can be escorted off these here premises."

Willow's eyes bulged out of her head. "Excuse me?"

"So I take it I have a dinner date tonight?" The man sat back in his chair and smiled.

Willow blushed. "Umm, sorry." She looked down at his name tag. ". . .Steven, but you're not my type."

Steven looked at Willow with a pensive frown. "Well, what is your type?"

"Well. . .I usually go for the non penis-bearing types."

After a moment or two, Steven understood what Willow had said, and he blushed deeply. "Geez, I'm sorry, Wilma, I had no idea. I'm really sorry. I guess that explains why you wanted to see Cinderella. You want a sneak peek at what's under that dress, don't ya?"

He laughed as the embarrassed Willow said her goodbyes and scooted away from the service desk. She rejoined the parade crowd in hopes of relocating Faith and Buffy. As she searched the crowd, her phone began to ring. "Hello?"

"Willow! You will never guess who we just saw."

"Who?"

"Are you still near the parade route?"

"Yeah. What's going on, Buffy?"

"Take a look at Snow White's float. We'll be right where you left us." And with that, Buffy ended the call.

Willow began making her way toward Cinderella's Castle. As she walked, she spotted the float that held Snow White. Behind her was the evil Queen. Willow did a double take as she looked at the Queen. Those eyes and that smirk never looked so familiar.

"Oh my goddess. . . Cordelia?!" "

Cordelia turned her head at the sound of her real name being yelled. She spotted Willow staring at her with a look of awe and the slightest hint of amusement. She rolled her eyes and pretended not to see her. Willow laughed to herself. "Just like Cordy. . .always pretending not to see me."
Willow turned around to find her way back to Buffy and Faith.

++++++++++++

Willow finally found Buffy and Faith in their spot near the Castle. As they met up again, they all collapsed into a fit of laughter.

"Did you see that, Will?! Talk about payback being a bitch." Buffy laughed at herself.

"Yeah, I guess the Queen finally got what was coming to her." Faith added.

Willow giggled a little. "I know she left after graduation to pursue an acting career, but this wasn't what I thought she would be doing. Is it bad that I feel like laughing very hard again?"

"Nope."

"Go for it, Red."

And she went for it, indeed.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The parade was over. They decided to walk around some more before it got too warm outside. After about five minutes of walking, Faith and Buffy began to walk quickly toward the bathrooms. "Hey Red, we're gonna take a little bathroom break," Faith said with a very sly grin.

"Yeah, Will, we won't be gone long. It'll just be a minute. . .a little refresher before we take on the rest of the park. You know?"
Willow glared at her friends. "Guys, this can wait. You are NOT going to have sex in a Disney World restroom. Not gonna happen. It's gross and weird and--"

"We'll be back," They both shouted back to the redhead who was left standing between Cinderella's Castle and Tomorrowland. Willow watched them disappear into the purple restroom doors and out of sight.
She spotted a bench that had one seat open. She took a seat next the stranger with a plop and a loud sigh.

"Long day?" A voice came from the person sitting beside her.

Willow looked over at the young girl sitting next to her. She looked to be about five feet nine inches tall, had long dark blonde hair, dark jeans with lots of chains, and a black shirt with the words "This one time at band camp" printed across the front in red letters. The letters were stretched and misshapen from the ample amount of bosom the young girl carried. I think I just committed a crime, the redhead thought as she quickly looked away from the girl's chest and back to her face. The younger girl had beautiful blue eyes, somewhat like a cloudless cool spring day. Now I know I just committed a crime. Bad Willow. . .

"So. . .you gonna answer my question or not?" the younger girl asked with an amusing half grin plastered on her face.

Willow blushed a little. "Yeah, sorry. It has been a long day. I'm here in the most magical place on earth, and I see the most beautiful girl in the world, and she ends up being a--"

"You're gay?" The girl interrupted.

“Only on the weekends.” Willow smiled as the younger girl laughed at her joke.

"That's cool. So is my sister." She stuck out her hand. "I'm Rachel, by the way."

Willow took the girl's hand and shook it. "Hi."

Rachel giggled at the redhead. "I see you're pleasantly avoiding telling me your name. That's okay. I can tell by the way you speak that you're not from the South. Or southern hospitality skipped your gene pool.”

Willow laughed at the girl's absurd comment. "I'm Willow."

"Willow. Cute name. It's my sister's favorite tree. I have to say, you're a step up from the other girls she's dated. She fell into this bad habit of dating cleavage-y slut bombs who were way into the leather. . .much like this chick here."

Willow looked up to see Faith and Buffy being escorted by a security officer to the exit of the park. She jumped off the bench and walked toward them. "You guys! I told you not to get kicked out!! What did you do?!"

The officer stepped in with an explanation. "Your friends here were caught doing naughty things in the restroom. I'm sorry but they are no longer welcome in the Magic Kingdom."

Willow watched as they were escorted away. Faith yelled back. "We'll be at the hotel room, Red. Make sure you call before you come." And with that statement and a loud laugh from Faith, they were out of sight.
Willow watched them go. She was in her own little world until someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to come face to face with Rachel's boobs. She immediately jumped back with a look of fear and shock across her face.

"Geez, watch where you point those things!"

Rachel snickered at Willow's facial expression. "Sorry, didn't mean to...umm...startle you with the extremely large quantity of boob to the face."

Willow looked up to see Rachel suppressing a giggle.

Rachel looked at the redhead. "I'm sorry." She pointed in the direction that Faith and Buffy were being escorted. "Well, that was interesting. You know them?"

"Yeah. The blonde is my best friend, and the other one is her new bride. They're here for their honeymoon, and they decided to let me tag along."
"On their honeymoon?"

"I know, weird. But I'm kinda glad they did. It's been fun for the most part." Willow looked over at Rachel. "So are you here with your family?"
She shook her head. "Nope. I'm here a band trip. I'm here with my high school band, and we're marching in a parade tomorrow. My friends are off riding rides and such, but I stayed behind to watch the parade."
Willow's eyes glazed over at the mention of the parade. "What a parade. . .Cinderella was my favorite. She is so beautiful."

A huge smirk crossed Rachel's face as she looked at the redhead. "I betcha you were looking a few inches lower than her face, weren't ya?"
Willow blushed furiously, which left no doubt in Rachel's mind that she was right. "Well, I’m going to do you a big favor and divulge some info to you.”

“Divulge away.”

“Even though she is drop dead gorgeous, she is very self-conscious of her body. When she gets nervous, she stutters a little. Most girls find it cute. And if she wanted, the girl could get more pussy than an animal shelter in the dead of winter."

Willow laughed at the last comment. "You're pretty funny."

"I try."

"But how do you know so much about her? It's kinda creepy. . .Are you her stalker?"

Rachel laughed at the redhead. "No. I'm her sister."

Chapter 2

"She's your what?!"

"My sister."

Tara's your sister?"

"Yes, she's my sister." She giggled a little, but abruptly stopped.

"Wait. . .I never told you her real name. How'd you know?"

Willow smiled. "She. . .She told me. During the parade."

"Aww. . .That's just like Tara. She's so romantic. . .It makes me sick."

"You're quite the cynical one, huh?"

Rachel shrugged. "The only bad gene I was given. The others are great: Blue eyes, nice hair, big boobs. It helps with the guys. And in my sister's case, it helps with the girls."

"Guess that's a good thing for me." Willow smiled to herself and kicked her feet into the air.

Rachel turned to face Willow. "You seem really sweet, Willow. I wouldn't mind my sister dating you. You're funny and charming, and cute as hell. You'd be perfect for her. And obviously she finds you attractive because she's been planning that whole "waving and mouthing her name" thing for months."

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, before Tara left home to come here, I stayed at her house for a few days to help her pack. She was sort of nervous about leaving, but she was really excited about her job. We got into a discussion about her love life, or lack thereof, and she told me that her all-time fantasy was to look out into the crowd during a parade, find the most beautiful girl, and mouth her name to her. And if all went well, the Powers that Be would help the girl find her. And Willow, my friend, it seems like the Powers that Be are on your side today."

Willow blushed. "So.I kinda fulfilled her all-time fantasy?"

Rachel laughed. "I believe you have, Willow."

Willow smiled to herself. As she did, Rachel's phone rang. She almost instantly recognized the song.

"Hey! I know that song. My ex-boyfriend plays lead guitar in the band."

Rachel was shocked. "Your ex plays in Dingoes Ate My Baby?!"

"Yes, he does."

"Holy shit! You're Oz's Willow, aren't you?!"

"I wouldn't necessarily refer to myself as belonging to him, but in a sense, yes, I am. How do you know him?"

Rachel smiled brightly. "I only see him almost every weekend. He's a great guy, and he used to talk about you all the time."

"Really?"

"Yep. The lead singer, Devon, is my cousin. The band comes around every weekend to play at one of the clubs nearby."

"Nearby here?"

"No. I'm actually from the Memphis area. They play at one of the clubs up there."

"Oh." Willow paused for a moment. "Aren't you going to answer your phone?"

"It's just Tara. I'll call her back."

Willow's heart sped up at the sound of Tara's name. "I think you should call her back now."

Rachel chuckled at Willow's subtle attempt to get her to call her sister back.
"I‘m sure you‘re saying that because it could be important, not for your own personal gain." Rachel teased the redhead.

Willow put her head in her hands. "I know...I know."

Rachel picked up her cell phone and saw that she had a message. She pushed the button that connected to her voice mail. She looked up to Willow and said, "She left me a voice message."
Hey, kid sister. It's me. I was calling to see if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight at Planet Hollywood. I saw you at the parade. And I saw you were wearing that shirt. I have to admit, Alyson Hannigan made that movie worth watching. I have to tell you about it tonight. Call me back when you get this. I love you and hopefully I'll see you tonight. Bye!

"I'm gonna call her back. Are you gonna be okay with that?"

Willow rolled her eyes at Rachel. "Yes, I'll be fine. Now call her back because I want to hear what she sounds like.”

Rachel dialed then number, and the phone rang four times before a soft low voice emanated from the telephone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, you sexy beast!"

"Rachel! How's it going?"

"It's great. What about you?"

"I just got off work. It took me an hour and a half to remove that dress and my make-up."

"Lucky for you, you don't have to wear as much make-up as The Queen."

Tara laughed. "Leave her alone. Cordelia's a really nice person underneath the make-up."

"I'm sure she is, Tare..."

"Anyways, how about dinner tonight at Planet Hollywood?"

"Sounds great. What time?"

"How about 8 o' clock?"

"Cool beans. Hey Tara, would you hate me forever if I brought a friend along with me. She's really nice, and she wants to meet you."

"Sure, I don't mind."

"Okay, thanks big sister, you're the best ever."

"Go on, go on..."

Rachel laughed. "Don't let your head get too big. All those little kids love you, but I'm a lot harder to convince."

Tara said in her best Ben Stein impression. "I shall do my best."

Both girls laughed. "You really need to lay off the Game Show Network, chick."

"I should, but I'm not."

"Okay then. Well, I will see you tonight and I will be bringing my special guest along with."

"Sure thing, Rach. What's her name, by the way?"

"Her name is Willow."

"Cute name."

Rachel giggled. "You have no idea. So we'll see you tonight then around 8?"

"Yes, you will. Bye, Rachel."

"Bye, Tare."

As Rachel hung up the phone, she was tackled by an overly ecstatic Willow. She chuclked softly as she patted the redhead on the back. "You're very welcome. I'd like my sister to meet someone I approve of...Someone who doesn't have black hair or leather."

Willow laughed. "Well, there was this one time I was all evil and leather-y wearing. It was-"

Willow saw the look on Rachel's face and changed the direction of her story.

"-the worst ever. Eww...Leather is bad. Never again. Nope...never."

"Yes, and I'm going to pretend that those words never escaped your lips."

"Yes, ma'am."

Rachel nodded. "Good then. Well, it's already 5 o'clock, so you want to meet me at the place?"

"Where are you staying?"

"I'm staying at the Disney All-Star Resort."

Willow grinned. "So are we!"

"Great! You want to meet at the bus shuttle to Downtown Disney?"

"That sounds good."

"Alrighty then. We'll meet at 7:30 then?"

"Cool."

"See you then...then."

Willow nodded and went off in the direction of the monorail systems. As she boarded the monorail, she began thinking about her future meeting with Tara, the princess of her dreams.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I can't believe that I'm going to be eating dinner with Tara. I'm so excited. I'm having dinner with Cinderella, Willow thought.

The monorail came to a stop, and Willow walked down the ramp to the shuttle buses. She got on the bus and took out her phone to call Buffy.

A very breathless Buffy answered the phone.

"Yeah?"

"I'm on my way back to the resort. I'd appreciate both of you being fully dressed when I open the door."

"Uhhh...Fine."

"'Kay, bye."

"Bye."

As she hung up the phone, the shuttle pulled into the resort. She got off the shuttle and walked through the cafeteria to the main pool area. As she walked by the pool, the big Jack in the Box came into view. Hello there, Jack. I'm going to have dinner with a princess, Willow said to herself.

Willow had a permanent grin on her face, so much so that people who walked by her stared. She finally arrived at the room after she passed the complex with the dancing brooms. She knocked twice on the door and yelled to its occupants. "I'm coming into the room. I hope you're both dressed, and it better not smell like sex in there, either."

When she walked into the room, she saw that Faith and Buffy were sitting on the bed watching the Disney Channel.

"I love this show. Kim Possible is the hottest cartoon chick of all time."

Buffy shrugged. "I guess so. . .Ron and Kim are so gonna hook up."

"What makes you say that?"

"They're best friends. . .on a TV show. It's the perfect set-up for romantic involvement."

Faith elbowed Buffy in the side. "Stop over-analyzing, B. It's a kid show."

Buffy hit her back. "I can do whatever I want, F."

The two girls started wrestling on the bed, but before it escalated to intense groping, Willow jumped into the bed, too. "I refuse to watch you two feel each other up while I‘m in the room. I am putting a stop to it until I leave."

"What?" They said at the same time.

"Guess what I'm doing tonight? I am having dinner with...Cinderella!"

Faith congratulated Willow. "Alright, Red. Way to get in there."

"Yeah, Will. I'm so happy for you. So, how was she?"

"Well, actually...Her sister invited me to dinner."

Faith laughed. "Wicked, Red! A two-chick deal...Is her sister hot, too?"

Buffy glared at Faith and smacked her on the back of the head. "Hey, your wife is sitting right here. Right exactly here."

"Hey, I was just askin', babe. You know I only have eyes for you..." Faith kissed Buffy.

"...and Angelina Jolie."

Buffy let out a short laugh. "Well, who doesn't have eyes for her?"

Willow interjected. "I don't."

Faith guffawed. "Red, you pretty much wet your pants when we went to see Tomb Radier...And I don't mean the 'pee' kinda wet, either."

"Thank you, Faith."

"No worries, Red."

Buffy stopped the inevitable bickering between Faith and Willow before it heightened.

"So, what about Cinderella's sister. What's she like?"

"Well, she's really cool, and funny, and nice, but her bozoombas are huge!"

"Her what are huge?" Buffy asked.
Faith stared at her wife. "Her knockers, babe."

"Oh. Wait, why were you looking at her boobs in the first place?"

"I pretty much ran straight into them when she was standing behind me. She's really tall for her age."

"Well, how old is she?"

"She's...sixteen."

Faith yelled. "Geezus, Will. Robbing the cradle much?!"

"No, it's not like that. We just happened to run into each other. But I hafta say that if I were sixteen...and a guy, I go after her."

Buffy tried to change the subject. "So...now that I know that my best friend is a pedophile, shouldn't you be getting ready for your dinner tonite?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm gonna go get a shower. Try not to start having sex while I'm in the bathroom because I do not want to see anyone else's boobs today. I think I'm on booby-overload or something..."

"...For lack of better phrasing..."

Willow disappeared into the bathroom. "Yeah yeah."

"So, Will, what are you gonna wear?"

She yelled from the bathroom over the spray of water. "Don't know. I'll find something when I get out of the shower."

Twenty minutes later, a clean glowing redhead in a towel appeared from the steaming bathroom. She began rummaging through her suitcase until Buffy interjected. "Will, it is my duty as your best friend to make sure that you're dressed perfectly tonight. And I have the perfect outfit for you to wear. So step away from your suitcase."

Willow put her hands on her hips. " What's wrong with my clothes?"

Buffy picked up a fuzzy pink sweater with an embroidered cat on the front of it.
"This is what's wrong with your clothing."

Willow grabbed the ball of pink material from Buffy and held it close to her chest. "There's nothing wrong with my sweater."

Faith and Buffy stared at the redhead as she pensively frowned at them both.

"Come on, Will. You want to dazzle this woman with your beauty, not make her pet your cat. . .And that was a lot more sexual than it sounded in my head."
Buffy blushed under the intense gaze of her wife and best friend. "Yeah, so. . .How about this?"

She held up a red mid-driff stretch shirt. "Umm, Buffy, where's the rest of it?"

"This is the rest of it."

Willow's eyes bulged out of her head. "Are you insane?! I can't wear that in public. I so don't have the body for that. It's all. . .womanly and slutty in its simplicity."

"Hey, it's not slutty. Come on, Will. You have a great body, you just hide it under all that fuzziness and wacky colors. Try it on and put these jeans on with it."

Buffy handed her a pair of dark low-rise boot cut jeans that had a black belt with a silver buckle.

"Are you sure about this, Buffy?"

Buffy smiled at her best friend. "Yes. . .Now go on, you only have 23 minutes before you have to leave."

"Okay." Willow turned and walked to the bathroom to change into the outfit Buffy had picked out for her. Ten minutes later, Willow was still in the bathroom. Buffy walked up to the door and knocked on it.

"Willow, come out so we can see you."

"No! I can't believe I'm wearing this. Buffy, I can't wear this. It's too much. . . or not enough. . .or, you know what I mean! I just can't!"

Buffy sighed on the other side of the door. "Just come out so we can see what you look like."

"Fine. But I'm taking it off when you see it."

Willow slowly opened the door and walked into the room. She heard Buffy gasp and she watched Faith slowly sit up in the bed.

"Is it that bad?"

Buffy stood slack-jawed as she stared at her best friend. "Wow. . .Willow, you look amazing. I can't believe it. You. . .Wow!"

Faith stood up and started walking toward Willow. "Damn, Red. If I woulda known that was under all the crazy shit you wear, I would've gone after you, too."

As Willow blushed under the intense scrutiny of Buffy and Faith, it finally registered in Buffy's mind what her wife had just stated out loud. She reeled back and whacked Faith in the back. "God, Faith. You just had naughty thoughts about my best friend. You're such a pig!"

Faith looked at her wife as if she had grown two heads. "Buffy, you need to calm down. . .and get me some ice for my back because that's gonna leave a nasty ass bruise."

Buffy looked sympathetically at her wife. "I’m sorry, baby. . .I forget my own strength sometimes..."

Faith replied as she got into the bed and lay on her stomach. "Don't I know it..."

"Would kisses and a massage help it get better?" Buffy asked hopefully.

"It sure will, babe." Buffy gave Faith a chaste kiss on the cheek.

"Okay, I'll go get you some ice. Will, since we're going in the same direction, I'll walk with you to the buses."

"I'm not wearing this!"

"Yes, you are, Willow! You look great!"

"But I feel all. . .not fully clothed."

"That's because you're so used to being covered with fuzzy animals. . ." Buffy joked.

"You know, you're not helping."

"I'm sorry, Will. How about you wear that jacket Dawn got you for Christmas? Did you bring it with you?"

"Yeah, I brought it only because Dawnie snuck it into my suitcase when I wasn't looking."

Buffy gave a proud smile. "I taught her well. . ."

"Yes, you should be very proud of her mad thieving and sneakiness."

Buffy laughed. "You know, you sounded a lot like Anya when you said that."
Willow groaned. "Are you trying to depress me or something?"

"Oh, come on, Willow. You are gonna be just fine. Just imagine what Cinderella is going to think when you show up lookin' all sexy. . ."

Willow's eyes began to glaze over as she thought about Tara. "Okay, let's go, Buffy."

Willow dragged Buffy out the door and out of the complex. "Umm, Will?"

She answered as she continued walking. "What?"

"Don't you think you should put on some shoes or something?"

Willow halted and looked down at her bare feet. "Oh."

As she jogged back to the room, Buffy yelled after her. "And don't forget to grab your jacket, too!"
Willow burst through the door and grabbed her black boots and her jacket and headed right back out the door. Before she closed it, Faith called her back into the room. "Hey, Red! Wait a second. . ."

"Yeah?"

Faith smiled. "You do look really great."

Willow smiled back at her. "Thanks, Faith."

With that, she closed the door, and walked back to where Buffy was seated on a hammock that had a plastic statue of Donald Duck next to it.

"Hey, you ready now?"

"Yes, I believe I am."

"Okay, let's go then."

The two girls walked by the dancing brooms and the main pool. "So, are you nervous about meeting your princess?"

Willow shrugged. "I'm not sure what I feel right now. I mean, I know that I should be nervous right now, and I‘m pretty sure that I am, but I don‘t know, Buff, I‘m kind of excited, too. But yes, there is some nervousness present."

Buffy chortled. "You, my friend, have got it bad."

Willow smiled to herself. "I know..."

The girls made it to the buses at ten after seven. There was no sign of Rachel yet.

Buffy looked around at the many people boarding buses, taking their children around the resort, and those who were just enjoying the bustle of the crowd.
"Where is this kid? I wanna see those boobs you were running into. . ."

"They are right here."

When Buffy heard someone answer her, she immediately turned around and crashed straight into the object of her inquiry. The impact sent both girls stumbling back a few inches. Rachel was the first to recover from the incident.
She spoke in a deep pseudo-Native American tone. "Whoa there, little blonde one. You need to watch where you walk. It does not help to destroy the goods."

Buffy stared up at the tall teen-aged girl in front of her. "Holy. . .shit."

Rachel laughed and stuck out her hand. "It's nice to meet you, too. I'm Rachel. And you are?..."

Buffy reached out to shake the outstretched hand. "I'm Buffy. . .And you are very
tall. . . and where did those come from?"

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Buffy, my father is very tall, and I'm not sure where 'those' came from, but my sister has a better set," she laughed lightly.

Willow's mouth went dry at the mention of Tara's breasts. I'm in soooo much trouble.

Buffy finally reenacted the part of her brain that initiated speech. "Well, this has been fun, but umm. . .I need to get back to the wife. So, see you guys later. Willow, could you call before you come. . .I mean, arrive.I mean-"

"I gotcha, Buff."

Buffy giggled nervously. "Yeah, thanks. Bye, guys."

Rachel and Willow waved to Buffy as she disappeared into the crowd.

Willow was more than a little amused at what had just unfolded before her eyes. She took one look at Rachel and they both began laughing hysterically. After a few minutes, the laughter died down, and the bus drove up to the stop. The girls stepped onto the bus, and sat in the first available seats.

"Are you ready to meet my fabulous sister?"

"I am more than ready to meet your fabulously-shaped sister."

Rachel arched an eyebrow at Willow. "Don't try to get fresh just yet, missy. You haven't been formally initiated into 'Woman who is Just Right for my Awesomely Awesome Sister' club."

Willow chuckled. "Okay then, what do I have to do?"

"You have to answer one question, and you have to be totally honest with me."

Willow gulped. "Totally honest?"

"Yep."

"Umm, okay."

Rachel nodded. "Good. So here's the question: What is your middle name?"

Willow breathed a sigh of relief. "It's Danielle."

"Hmmm. . .Alright, you pass." Rachel laughed. "Man, I had you going so bad."

"You're a 'tard muffin, you know that?"

"Ooh, name calling, are we? See where bad mouthing will get you? Not in my sister's pants, if that's what you're thinking."

Willow threw a questioning glance at Rachel. "Do you two always talk so openly about...each other?"

Rachel nodded. "Yeah. At the risk of sounding like I just walked off an episode of Full House, Tara is probably the best friend I've ever had. For an older sister, she is so wonderful to me, we've never even gotten into a fight before. She's absolutely an angel, and I value her more than anything in this world. She's my big sister, you know? I'd do anything for her."

"That was the sweetest thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I even heard the Full House music in the background." Willow let out a childish giggle at her joke.

"I know, don't rub it in. She pretty much the only person who brings the softer side out of me. Speaking of, have you seen that movie?"

Willow was confused. "The Softer Side? Isn‘t that a Sear‘s commercial?"

Rachel laughed at the confused look on the redhead‘s face. "No, The movie The Sweetest Thing. With Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate?

Willow stared blankly back at Rachel.
"You haven't seen that movie?! It's absolute genius! It's the way to totally win over my sister. It's her favorite movie, besides Cinderella, of course."

"You have to tell me everything you know about that movie."

"Sure thing, Willow."

For the rest of the 10 minute ride to Downtown Disney, Rachel went over all she could from the movie, including Tara's favorite part in the entire movie, The Penis Song. Willow's mind soaked up the information like a sponge, and as they pulled up to Planet Hollywood, she pretty much knew the entire storyline of the movie. As the two girls stepped off of the bus, they both looked at their watches.

"Okay, it's 7:45. Tara will be here in 10 minutes. You wanna go on and get in line?"

"Sure. . .as long as we can go over some more of the movie."

"Not a problem, but I think you have all that you need."

"I just want to get this perfect."

Rachel nodded her understanding, and as they talked between themselves they started walking toward the restaurant. As they passed a group of boys sitting outside of the restaurant, they started whistling and making cat calls at the girls. One of the boys came up to them trying to commence a conversation.

"Hey Rachel, are you gonna introduce me to your friend here?"

Rachel kept on walking past the group of boys and into the line for Planet Hollywood. "Go away, Donald."

"Come on, Rach." He turned to face Willow. "The name's Donnie, and may I say that you look very beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, Donald." The two girls ignored the boys and stayed facing the entrance to the restaurant.

"Who are those guys?"

"Unfortunately, the one you talked to inherited every bad gene in the Maclay bloodline."

"Do you mean he's your brother?"

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Don't say it out loud, someone may hear you."

"He's Satan in high school senior form. He's on the drumline in the band, so he thinks that he can get any girl in the world. Just between you and me, the last four girls he dated play for the home team now, if you know what I mean."

Willow laughed. "That bad, huh?"

"Yes. And no one in the family can stand him...Which is why my parents are letting him go wherever he wants for college because he does more good far away than at home."

"Wow. Sucks for him."

"He doesn't really care. He's just happy that he doesn't have to stay in Memphis much longer."

As the girls continued their conversation, someone walked up behind Willow.

"Ah, I see that we're discussing the lovely younger brother of mine who is Donnie Maclay."

Willow stood stock still as she heard a smooth, lightly southern voice.

Rachel went straight to her sister and gave her a big hug. "Hey, Tara."

"Well, I missed you, too."

Rachel let go of her sister. "Tara, this is Willow."

Tara turned toward the girl. "It's nice to meet you-Wow."

Tara gave the beautiful woman in front of her a dazzling smile and a small blush. "S-Sorry. I didn't m-mean--"

"It's okay, Tara. It's nice to meet you, too. In person. . .without you in a carriage." Willow cringed at her words. Geez, Willow. Way to start off the night. Sometimes, you just shouldn't say words.

Tara stuck out her hand for Willow to shake. As their hands connected, both women gasped lightly at the amazing warmth in each other's hand. They stared into each other's eyes, and both had the same thought. I am in a world of trouble. . .

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Chapter 3: The Dinner

Willow was in awe of the magnificent beauty standing before her. I can't believe I'm standing in front of her right now. She's even more gorgeous up close. And look! She wearing a 'Vote for Pedro' shirt that is very taut around the chest area...Oh, boy...Rachel so wasn't joking...They're better, alright. I'm ogling right now, and I don't even care, and I'm still holding her hand...very soft hands...nice hands...oh, where I could put those hands...Someone stop me!

Rachel's voice broke through her thoughts. "Okay, ladies! Enough small talk, let's get to da eating."

Tara and Willow were shaken out of their worlds. They slowly let their hands drop to their sides, instantly yearning for the simple contact to return. The three girls walked up the stairs to the entrance with Rachel leading the way and Willow bringing up the rear. As they ascended the stairs, Willow had an unobstructed view of Tara's backside. She wore a tight denim jacket with matching tight jeans. Willow's mouth went straight to desert mode as she watched the sway of Tara's ass as she walked up the stairs. Help me God...
As Willow continued to stare at Tara's ass, Rachel turned around to talk to them.
"Line stopped, ladies."

Willow, however, did not get the message as she continued walking up the stairs, right into Tara's rear, the rear that she was currently caressing in her mind.

The force knocked Tara into Rachel, who caught her sister before she fell onto the stairs.

Willow stared wildly at the two girls and then began apologizing profusely. "Oh my god! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to! We were walking and then we weren't. My mind was somewhere else and I wasn't paying attention. I am so sorry, Tara. Are you okay?"

Tara smiled at Willow. "I'm okay." She added in a mock serious tone. "But it better not happen again."

Willow grinned and sighed in relief. "Okay."

“It’s really okay, Willow.” Tara smiled down at the redhead. “I think my bum w-will be just fine.”

I’m sure it will. . .It definitely looks fine from my view, Willow thought to herself as Tara turned back around to face her sister. Willow’s phone rang. She picked it up and excused herself from Tara and Rachel. As Willow left the line to take her call, Rachel spun around her sister. “So. . .What do you think?”

"Wow. . .She‘s beautiful. But I don‘t know what I‘m supposed to do, Rachel. Truth be told, I‘m not as outgoing as you. I want to be, but I don‘t know how."

Rachel smiled at her sister, and took her by the hand. “Tare. . .She’s a cool girl. And she totally digs you. I believe in you, Sis. Here’s some advice: Be yourself. Because yourself is wonderful.”

Tara laughed at her sister. “Thanks, Rach. And here’s some advice for you: Crack open a grammar book.”

They both laughed as Willow returned to the line. “What’d I miss? A good joke?”

Rachel and her sister shared a smile and turned to face Willow. They both giggled at the redhead, who was still wondering what was so funny.

“So, Willow. Who calls you when you’re on vacation? People have no respect nowadays.” Tara rolled her eyes at her younger sister’s change of subject.

“Oh, um, well. . .That was my job. That place falls apart when I’m gone.”
Finally, the girls made it to the front entrance of the restaurant. A waitress took them to a another waiting line on the second floor. Willow was in awe of the immense size of the restaurant and the amount of old movie props placed around it walls and ceiling. As she walked up the stairs, she saw Winifred Sanderson's dress from the movie Hocus Pocus.

"Wow..."

Everything was so captivating to Willow that she didn't know Tara was walking behind her until she felt a soft touch on the small of her back. She turned to see a beautiful smiling face with amazing blue eyes staring at her.

"It's cool, isn't it?"

Willow looked around some more. "Yeah, it is. I've never seen anything like it..."

"Yeah, that's how I f-felt when I came down here to work. Everything w-was so new and different. It was...magical."

Willow and Tara stood at the top of the staircase, staring into each other's eyes. Willow began to smile as she looked into Tara's eyes.

Tara giggled self-consciously and looked back at the redhead. "W-What is it?"

Willow smiled. "You have the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen."

Tara blushed and looked away with a grin on her face. "Thank you, Willow."

The redhead chuckled lightly at Tara. Tara rose an eyebrow in question. "What's so funny?"

"I like the way you say my name. That accent gives it something...cute."

Tara laughed. "Riiiight."

Willow grinned at the beautiful blonde woman before her. I could so get used to seeing that face everyday for a very long time...
Willow noticed that Rachel had gone missing in action. "You know, this may seem a bit random, but where did Rachel go?"

Tara turned to look for her sister. "I-I'm not entirely sure where she is...She didn't say she was going anywhere. Maybe she's i-in the restroom or something."

The girls were still waiting for a table, so Willow stayed in the line while Tara went to check for Rachel in the restroom. After a few minutes, Tara returned without Rachel.

"I don't know where she went. S-She usually doesn't just disappear like this..."

"I'm sure she's fine, Tara. Hey, maybe she went down to the gift shop...You know, to get a shirt or, or a keychain. One can never have enough chains."

Tara smiled. "I'll have to agree with you about the chains. Almost every pair of jeans she owns has some kind of something hanging from them. She's very much into the bondage..."

Tara let her statement sink in, keeping her eyes on the redhead. Willow nodded her head until Tara's words made it to her ears. "She's what?!"

Tara laughed at her outburst. "It was a joke, Willow. You are so easy."

Willow pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not easy. I'm a very complex individual. Look at my outfit!"

"I'm sure you are." Tara grinned at Willow and her cute tantrum.

"I am..."

"I know."

"I know you know."

"Good."

Chapter 3b

The girls were enjoying their time alone as they waited for a table and for Rachel to return from wherever she had gone.

Pretty soon, they were next in line. As the people in front of them were taken to their table, the waitress greeted them.

"Willow and Tara, correct?"

The two women eyed the waitress suspiciously. She just smiled and explained herself. As she began speaking, she pointed to Tara. "I believe your sister, Rachel, has told me that she has left and that you two should still have dinner, so your table is right this way."

Willow and Tara glanced at each other as they both followed the waitress to their table. The waitress waited until they were seated to bid them goodnight. An awkward silence passed between Tara and Willow as they searched their brains for something to talk about. Tara was the one to break the silence. "I'm going to severely maim my sister..."

Willow laughed at the first words spoken after the uncomfortable silence passed.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because she's a sneaky little something..."

Willow nodded her head in agreement. "I understand. My best friend's little sister is the same way. I'm almost certain that they would get along great."

"How old is she?"

"She's sixteen, also."

Tara smirked to herself. "I can see t-the trouble those two could get into..."
"We would definitely be putting out fires and cleaning up messes in the very near future with those two then."

Both girls giggled at Willow's joke. As their laughter died down, Tara questioned Willow about her life. "So w-where exactly are you from?"

Willow answered sarcastically. "The wonderful city of Sunnydale, California. I heard that you have some family in Sunny D, too."

Tara smiled. "Yes, m-my cousin Devon and his family. Y-You must have been talking with my sister for a while."

"I was. She's a pretty cool kid...Sort of on the tall side, though."

"That she is. Our dad is tall. He's about 6'4"."

". . .And I used to think my dad was tall…”

Willow watched Tara's face as she laughed. It was the most angelic thing she had ever witnessed with her own two eyes. Tara noticed Willow's distant look. She laid her hand atop the redhead's, waking her from her daydream. "Hey, a-are you okay, Willow?"

Willow refocused on the beautiful woman‘s eyes that filled with care and concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It just gets kind of busy up here sometimes, you know?" She tapped her temple.

Tara's curiosity was piqued, so she questioned further. "What were you thinking about?"
Without thinking, Willow answered. "You."
Tara's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't thought that the redhead would be thinking of her. "R-Really?"

Willow caught the slight stutter in Tara's words, and she immediately felt sorry for making the blonde uncomfortable. "God, Tara, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you nervous. Geez, I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have said-"

"Willow."

Willow stopped in mid-sentence to look up at Tara's face. She had a slight grin creeping across her pleasant face. "You didn't make me nervous...I just wasn't expecting y-you to say you were thinking about me of all things. It was a good thing, don't worry."

Willow sighed in relief as Tara's words of reassurance reached her ears. She all of a sudden felt childish for her outburst, but she said the only thing she could as the sight of Tara's face turned her brain into putty. "Okay."

At that moment, the waitress showed up to take their orders. "Hi, ladies. Sorry about the wait. What can I get you to drink?"

Willow and Tara both answered. "Water, please."
The waitress nodded and set out on her quest for water.

As they waited for the waitress to bring their waters back, Tara took out her cell phone. When she looked at the screen, she saw that she had a voice message. I know I didn't put my phone on silent...

She pushed the "listen" button to hear the message. Willow watched Tara's expressions go from a perturbed frown to a cute half-grin.

Hey, sexy beast! I'm sneaky, huh? I managed to take your phone, put it on silent, tell the hostess I was leaving, and leave before you even noticed I was gone. Man, I'm good. I really like her, Tara. Don't mess this one up...No pressure, though. I really think she's worth it. She's funny, cute, and very easy...I had her going a couple of times. It was great. And her aura, Sis, is beautiful. But I know you can see that, too. But anyways, call me after your dinner with Willow. Love you, big sister. Ciao.

As Tara hung up her phone, the waitress returned with their water. "There you go, ladies. Are you ready to order your meals?"

Willow answered. "Can we have a few more minutes, please?"

"Sure. I'll be back." She walked away to wait on another table.

Willow turned to face Tara. "Was that Rachel?"

"Yes. She s-said she didn't feel well, so she left."

"Oh."

"Yes. She apologized f-for leaving without notice."

"That's good. So she's okay?"

"Yeah...Now it's time to eat. I didn't get a lunch break today...Disney doesn't know how to take care of a princess..."

Willow laughed. "So how long have you been working down here as Cinderella?"

"Well, I've been working here every summer since after I graduated from high school. I've been Cinderella for almost six months now. It's been very interesting. I've been proposed to by so many 7-year-olds, it's not even funny."

Well, I definitely can't blame them for trying..."

Tara blushed furiously at Willow's comment. "Come on, Willow. I'm not that pretty."

"No, you are."
Tara looked up to smiling green eyes that were filled with admiration and happiness.

"Really?"

"From the first time I laid eyes on you, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen." I thought some other stuff, too, but that's for me to know, and you to show me...Geez, I'm bad.

Tara wore a sad smile on her face. "No one's ever called me beautiful before...It's always been 'Hey, you're hot' or 'Nice rack' or-"

Willow choked on her water when she heard Tara say "Nice rack." She finally calmed herself and wiped the water from her mouth.

"Are you okay?"

Willow glanced at Tara for a second before staring a hole into her water glass.
"I'm fine, I just got a little choked is all."

"Oh, okay. I-I really don't like it when other people t-talk about my body parts," Tara said as she blushed.

A voice from behind startled Willow. "Are you ladies ready to order?"

Willow nodded at Tara to signal that she should go ahead and order. "I'll just have a caesar salad with no dressing, please."

The waitress finished writing and turned to Willow, who still had her head buried in the menu.

The waitress asked Willow, “ And for you, ma‘am?”

“Cow me, Waitress!” Tara let out a laugh as the waitress looked incredulously at the redhead. "Ummm. . .I meant I'll just have a cheeseburger...well done, please."

"Okay. We'll have that out as fast as we can."

"Thank you."

As the waitress left, Willow turned to Tara. "So, where were we, so I won‘t have to be highly embarrassed about what I just said?"

Tara laughed and said, "We w-were discussing my horrible dating habits."

“Aah. . .Well, let’s keep it light for a while, Tara. I don’t want to scare you off too soon.”

The blonde smiled at Willow. “I’m sure you won’t.”

Willow smiled back. "So, where are you from?"

"Well, actually, I-I was born in Sunnydale, but I only lived there for about 5 years. M-My dad was in some secret military thingie called The Initiative."

Willow's face paled. "Your dad worked for The Initiative?"

"You know about them?"

"Darn tootin'. My friends and I have had a few run-ins with them. And my friend Buffy dated someone from the Initiative."

"Oh...Well, my dad left when he found out they had a darker purpose for their experimentations. So, he w-was restationed to Millington military base near Memphis, TN. And that's where I grew up. Over the years, my p-parents decide that I needed siblings, so that's where Donnie and Rachel come into the picture. So, here endeth my life story. W-What about you? Do you have any siblings?"

Willow shook her head. "Nope. Just little old me. My parents were pretty much workaholics throughout my childhood. I don't think they could have handled another child."

"Oh, I'm s-sorry, Willow."

"It's okay. I'm pretty much over it. I got through childhood with minimal scarring."

"I...guess that's good."

"It's all kinds of good. I'm sure there are lots more people who've had it worse than I have. I consider myself lucky to have parents who provided for me, even though they weren't around that much."

Tara nodded her head at Willow's words. That was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. She is too adorable for words. I could definitely get used to hearing her voice...

Willow, however, was in panic mode. I can't believe I just told her that...Way to make her pity your very existence. I feel an awkward silence coming on. Damn, I need to change the subject now!...Ooh! Movies! Yay, dazzle her with my knowledge of her favorite movie!

"So, enough about my boring life, what about something fun? What's your all-time favorite movie? Well, besides Cinderella."

Tara laughed. "Can't argue with that one. I'd have to say it's The Sweetest Thing. H-Have you seen it?"

"I love Christina Applegate. She's really hot. My favorite part is the Penis Song. It's definitely not my favorite body part, but song wise...It's pretty funny." Maybe that was too much information, Willow. . .

Tara gave Willow a smile. "That is so weird. It's my favorite part, too. Y-You should come to my apartment t-this week to watch it with me. I-I mean. . .if you want to. . ."

Willow thought about the prospect of getting alone time with Tara again. . .And in her apartment. In her head, Willow was weighing the pros and cons of the impending endeavor. She figured there were more pros than cons, so she agreed.

"It's a date. . .I mean, if you want it to be. I mean, I have no problem with it not being a date because actually it is a date with you know...a month and a year and the like, but not a date date with food, kisses, and gay love, and I can't believe I just said that out loud, so just shoot me. . .Oh god."

Tara gazed at the redhead in amusement. She could sense Willow's distress, so she decided to lighten the load a bit. "That will be just fine with me."

Willow looked up at Tara to see a sexy grin spread across her full lips. Willow could not believe this was happening to her. This is crazy, but definitely a good kind of crazy. I've only dreamed of this moment since. . .well, since this morning at the parade, but still. . wow.

All of a sudden, Willow felt that she should ask the blonde formally. "Would you object if I asked you to go on an actual date with me on Wednesday night?"

Tara looked very pleased. "Of course, I will. But I have to work that night, and it takes a while for me to get out of all that make-up. What about Thursday night?"

"Even better. Maybe we could head to Pleasure Island. It looks like fun from this view."

"It is fun. I went w-with one of my friends. She plays The Queen. She's a great person and we had a lot of fun. It was a blast."

Willow looked aghast. "Did you just say that you had fun with Cordelia Chase? Did you say it out loud? Did you mean to say it at all?"

Tara was taken aback by the bombardment of questions that were thrown at her.
"I take it that you know her?"

"We went to high school together. She was everything but nice to me. We didn't really get along at all. She was Cordy, came with the Cordettes, you know? I was president of the 'We Hate Cordelia' club. My best friend Xander was the treasurer."

"X-Xander? I remember that name. Cordelia used to talk about him all the time. I-I think they broke sometime in high school before she came down here."

Willow blanched at the mention of the break-up. Tara noticed it, but decided that she wouldn't say anything about it. "She used to t-talk about the red haired bookworm who caused the end--"

"It was a fluke!" Willow shouted out, drawing the attention of neighboring tables. She blushed furiously.

Tara studied the redhead for a moment. It baffled her mind that the sweet and cute girl in front of her caused a devastating break-up. Willow chanced a look at Tara and saw the sadness creeping over her features. Willow, at the point of tears, tried to explain herself. "Tara, it was a mistake. I'm not like that, really. I'm gay now. I didn't mean for that to happen. We were trapped in that house, and we thought we were gonna die, so of course we did the dumbest thing in the universe. Cordelia and Oz came to save us, and--"

"Oz?! Y-You're the Willow? I-I don't know why I didn't realize it b-before. I'm sure t-there aren't many Willows around these parts."

Tara let a small smile escape, but it quickly turned into a sad one. "He really l-loved you. . .I can see why."

Willow looked up to Tara again and saw a little smile began to grow back. "I'm sorry. I promise you I'm not a home-wrecking slut bomb."

Tara let a little laugh escape. "I-It's okay. What you did in the past is y-your business. And 'Slut bomb?' You sound like Rachel when she described my ex-girlfriends."

"Well, how many girlfriends have you had?"

"A lady never reveals her conquests." Tara smirked at Willow.

Willow retorted. "That many, huh?"

Willow ducked as a sugar packet went whizzing by her head. She looked up to see a bright smile flash across Tara's lips and the most angelic laugh rise from her throat. The sight gave Willow a renewed spirit for the rest of the night. A new wave of courage rose within her. "You should smile like that more often. It makes your face glow."

"It's also because I'm radioactive." As Willow laughed, Tara smiled shyly back at the redhead. "Willow, I-I think you're the first date who has commented o-on something other than my other.assets." Tara blushed deeply as she said the word "assets."

"Is that a good thing?" Because you probably wouldn't be saying that if you could have heard my thoughts earlier today.

"It's a really good thing. . .maybe even a great thing."

They once again shared a smile. They couldn't get enough of smiling at each other. Willow suddenly got a whiff of cow. Walking toward her was the waitress with their food.

"Cheeseburger and salad. Enjoy, ladies." She smiled and walked to another table.

Tara and Willow ate their food in a comfortable silence. After their meal, Willow asked for the check.

"No, Willow, I s-should pay for my own."

"No, I don't mind. It's the least I can do...You've graced me with your presence this evening. I insist."

Tara relented. "Well, if you insist."

"I do." Willow gave her card to the waitress, but the waitress gave it back.

"Your meals have been paid for already."

Tara asked. "By whom?"

The waitress looked at the ticket. "Ummm...a Rachel Maclay. Enjoy your evening ladies. Thanks for coming."

They walked down the stairs to the bottom floor and then to the outside. They both looked at each other.

"I had a fun-"

"Thanks for staying-"

They both giggled as they began speaking at the same time.

"So, I'll see you on Thursday night then?"

Willow nodded. "Thursday it is. Goodnight, Tara."

"Night, Willow."

The girls walked in opposite directions, Willow to the shuttles and Tara to her car.

As they walked away, both were trapped in their own thought.

So hot…

This story is so freaking cute. I love the interaction between Tara and Willow. can't wait for the next update! Soon please?

Sorry for the double post, guys...Guess I got a little too excited.

Bellalocke: Thank you for thinking that my story is cute. I always thought of Tara as a fairy tale princess, so I figured I would make her one myself, teehee! I hope you enjoy the next update.

Alex_Vixen: Aren't they cute?! And thanks! I'm glad this is one of your favorite stories...It makes my heart giggle.

Chapter 4

Willow was happy about the date she had for Thursday night. I got a date. Oh yeah. . .I'm good! Score one for Team Willow!

Tara, on the other hand, was having a ferocious debate in her head. Was I being myself tonight? I can’t believe Rachel left me here by myself! She knows how shy I can get. . .But she said not to mess it up... I am NOT going to screw this up. I'm gonna make little sis happy. Ooh! I can offer Willow a ride! Shit...I need to run after her... Tara took off toward the shuttle buses and toward Willow.

Willow, who was still raving internally about her date, turned around when she heard her name shouted. Her face instantly lit up as she watched the beautiful blonde run to her. "Is something wrong, Tara?"

Tara answered, out of breath. "No...I was just wondering if I could give you a ride back to...wherever you're going. I-I thought I could at least save you from having to r-ride the shuttle buses."

Willow smiled at Tara's thoughtfulness. "Sure, that would be great."

Tara returned the smile. "Okay, follow me, then."

The two girls walked back past Planet Hollywood toward the west side parking lot. After a short walk, Tara and Willow stopped beside a silver Pontiac Grand Am. Willow nodded appreciatively.

"Wow, nice wheels."

"Yeah. The rest of the car's nice, too."

Willow smirked. "I'm sure it is."

They both slid into the car, and put on their seatbelts. As Tara started the car, the dark, melodic voice of Joan Armatrading wafted through the speakers. Tara immediately blushed as she remembered what song she was playing before she arrived at her destination. How ironic. . .and kind of embarrassing.

Willow also blushed as she heard the beginning of the song. She looked over at Tara with a small nervous smile and decided to say anything to mute the deafening lack of noise.

"I love Joan Armatrading. I think she has the best voice. Which CD is it?"

Tara smiled, even though she was still bright red in the cheeks. "I-It's actually the soundtrack to the movie Boys on the Side. H-Have you seen it before?"

Willow smiled. "Yes, actually. It's one of my favorite movies. Whoopi Goldberg's performance in that movie was spectacular."

"I-I'm a pretty big Drew Barrymore fan myself."

"She's okay, but Whoopi has the dreadlocks. I've always had a secret desire to get dreads."

Tara laughed as she turned on her blinker and headed out to the main road. "I t-think you'd look pretty silly with bright red dreadlocks."

"I didn't say they would look great; I've just always wanted them."

"Y-You getting dreads w-would be the equivalent of me having an afro, Willow."

Willow laughed as she pictured Tara with a big blonde seventies afro. "Yeah, I guess you're right...this time."

Tara glanced over to the redhead and smiled. "I guess I am. S-so where am I taking you, exactly?"

"Oh. To the Disney All-Star Resort, please."

Tara nodded. "That's where Rachel is staying. We'll be there in no time." The two women remained quiet for the rest of the short trip, enjoying the music and the comfortable silence that had fallen between them.

Thunder
Don't go under the sheets
Lightning
Under a tree
In the rain and snow
I'll be your fireside
Come running to me
When things get out of hand
Running to me
When it's more than you can stand
I said I'm strong
Straight
Willing
To be a
Shelter
In a storm
Your Willow
oh Willow
When the sun is out

After the short ride, Tara pulled her car into the main entrance of the resort. Willow looked at the blonde woman as she mustered up the courage to ask Tara a question. "Umm.Tara?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think maybe...I could get your. . .ummm. . .phone number? I promise not to call you too much. I just want to be able to get in touch with you so that we can make more plans for Thursday night. I mean, that is if you still want to go with me. I understand if you don't though, I won't be--"

"Willow." Tara took the redhead's phone from her hand. She programmed her number into the phone, and gave Willow a shy smile. "I-I'll see you on Thursday."

Willow smiled. "Okay. See you."

They shared one last smile, and Willow got out of the car. She waved goodbye to Tara and watched her drive until she was out of view. Willow sighed and started her trek to the hotel room. Willow entered the main building of the resort. The building was empty because it was so late. She exited through the back and dug her cell phone out of her pocket. As she passed the pool area, she heard someone yell out her name.

"Hey Willow!"

As she turned her head, Willow spotted Rachel and another girl lounging by the empty pool. Willow strolled up to the girls and pulled up a lounge chair. The girl sitting on the other side of Rachel smiled as Willow sat down. Rachel studied Willow's face for a few moments before she began speaking.

"So...How as dinner with my sister?"

Willow stole a quick glance at the girl sitting at the table with them. This didn't go unnoticed by Rachel.

"This is Beck, she's one of my best friends. Everything that's happened today, she already knows about it."
Willow nodded, but she still didn't feel comfortable discussing such matters around a complete stranger. Well, it's not like I've known Rachel all my life. I've barely known her for 12 hours. Geez. . .I'm special.

Beck could tell that the redhead wasn't all that comfortable with her at the table, so she stood up to leave. Rachel questioned her as she stood from the table.

"Where are you going, Beck?"

"I'm gonna head back to the room, I'm kinda tired."

Willow knew that it was her fault the other girl was leaving. "No, you don't have to go. I-I don't mind if you stay here-"

"It's alright, really." She gave Willow a smile and then spoke to Rachel. "Give me a call when you get ready to come back to the room. I don't want you walking back there by yourself."

Rachel smiled at the shorter black girl. "Okay."

"Good then." She turned toward Willow. "It was nice meeting you, Willow."

Willow smiled. "Same here."

Beck turned and walked out of the pool area. Rachel watched her as she walked away. Then she abruptly turned back to Willow.

"So what is so secretive about this that she couldn't stay to hear it?"

Willow felt guilty for letting the girl leave. "Nothing. I didn't mind if she stayed-"

Willow looked up to see a grin pull at the corners of Rachel's mouth. As she saw this, a pout overcame her previously guilty face. Rachel started laughing at the frowning redhead.

"Man, you are so easy! Tara told me she had you going a few times."

Willow looked slightly confused. "But she just dropped me-"

"-you off at the resort, I know." She picked up her cell phone and waved it at Willow. "That's why we use these little contraptions. I was actually talking to her when I saw you walking by, so I told her I would call her later."

"Oh. Well...what did she say about me?" Willow asked with her big green eyes looking juvenile and cute. Rachel couldn't help but smile at the redhead.

"Well, the phrase 'so hot' was repeated numerous times throughout our small conversation..."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It was kinda nasty."

"Yeah-Hey, wait! What do you mean?!"

Willow turned bright red as she realized that she had been gotten twice in less than a minute. She shook her head.

"I think that is a bad gene both of you inherited. . . "

"We get that a lot. . .But really, how was dinner?"

Willow sat back in the chair and sighed aloud. "It was. . . great. We talked and laughed and ate. I only embarrassed myself a few times, so all in all, It was great. I can honestly say that I had a wonderful night with your extremely gorgeous sister!"

Rachel giggled at the redhead's comment. "So, are y'all going out again?"

"Thursday night we're going to Pleasure Island...And I got her phone number, too." Willow exclaimed.

Rachel chuckled as she stood up to leave. "Well, I am very glad that you will be taking my sister out. I really think you're going to be good for her. Someone who will appreciate her for the person she is, not for the assets she has."

Willow was taken to a special place in her mind at the mention of Tara's assets. Not that her assets are bad or anything... She smirked at her naughty Tara thoughts. Rachel stopped her talking and glared at Willow. Willow felt the ice blue sting of Rachel's gaze.

"Stop doing that, Willow!"

"I didn't do anything...I don't think..."

"You were thinking about Tara's assets. I'm the sister; I've seen every face in the book. You had 'ass' face!"

Willow snorted. "That's ridiculous!! I didn't even look at her...oh, wait..."

"See!! I told you! Stop thinking like that."

"It was your fault for bringing up her ass. . .sets in the first place."

Rachel took a deep cleansing breath so she could speak more clearly.
"Okay, that's enough. Subject dropped. It never happened and it will never happen in the future. Agreed?"

Willow nodded. "Agreed."

Rachel took out her cell phone while she continued to speak with Willow. "Good then. So what are you doing tomorrow?"

Willow shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not entirely sure."

Rachel absent-mindedly nodded as she spoke into her phone. "Hey, Beck, come get me."

Beck could clearly be heard on the other end. "Alright, bye."

"Bye." Rachel shut her phone and put it back in into place. "You wanna come back to the Kingdom and watch us in the parade?"

"What time would that be?"

"The parade starts at 3 tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, I'll be there."

Rachel smiled. "Cool."

Just then, Beck stumbled through the bushes of the pool area. She was out of breath. "Come on, Rachel. They're doing room checks right now. I didn't even realize it was after curfew. I had to do some crazy Cat Woman shit to get by the chaperones. We gotta jet."

The two younger girls waved good-bye to Willow and took off toward their room. Willow sighed and began her journey back to her room. She removed her cell phone from her pocket and began looking up Tara's number. I can't believe she gave her phone number. What a day this has been. . .Hey! Where's her number?! Willow scrolled frantically through the "T" section of her phone list, but couldn't find Tara's name or number. Okay. . .I'm not going to panic. I watched her put her number in here, it's just a matter of finding it.

Willow stopped walking and sat on the hammock Buffy had occupied earlier that evening. She began scrolling down her list of names. "Amy...Anya...Buffy...Cinder-"
Willow immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. She laughed quietly to herself as she got up and walked to her room.

"Man, I am easy..."
+++++++++++++++++++++

Before Willow even opened the door to the darkened room, she could hear Faith's snoring. As soon as the door closed, she removed her shoes and headed for the bathroom. After relieving herself, she jumped into her bed fully clothed. Within five seconds of closing her tired eyes, she reopened them to see a pair of hazel ones staring back at her. Willow quietly laughed as she saw about a hundred questions flash through her best friend's eyes. Buffy decided to start with the easy stuff.

"So. . .how was it?" Her child-like curiosity was extremely amusing to the redhead.

"It was great, Buffy. Tara is very nice. . .ly shaped."

Buffy wore a look of shock on her face. "Willow Danielle Rosenberg, did you get your 'naughty touch' on?"

Willow sighed dramatically. "I wish I had, but alas, it was not meant to be. We just did a lot of talking. . .”

"So what did you guys talk about?"

"We talked about some of everything. Ooh! Get this: You remember Devon from Dingoes, right?"

Buffy nodded eagerly into the darkness.

"Well it turns out that Devon is her cousin and she was actually born in Sunnydale! How crazy is that?!"

"Wow, what a small world..."

"I know. Speaking of, Cordelia is one of her best friends here in town."

Buffy shuddered. "Are you sure she's not on drugs or anything, Will?"

"I'm sure she has to be clean to keep her job."

Buffy shrugged. "I guess you're right."

"I always am, Buff."

Buffy tossed her pillow at the unsuspecting redhead. Willow squealed and threw it back. Buffy anticipated the toss and rolled off the bed, causing the pillow to smack the still sleeping Faith right in the face. Faith sat straight up in the bed, profanities pouring from her mouth.

"B, what the fuckin' hell are you doing?! Are you fuckin' havin' a pillow fight? It's after midnight! What the hell?..."

Buffy and Willow couldn't hold in their laughter any longer. Willow rolled onto the floor with Buffy, doubled over with laughter.

Faith rolled back over in the bed. "I'm glad you find this so damn funny. You both need to fuckin' go back to sleep..."

Seconds later, the sound of laughter was drowned out by intense snoring coming from Buffy's bed. The girls began to gather themselves from the carpeted floor and back to their respective beds.

"Man, does she always snore this loud?"

Buffy got a funny look on her face. "You think she's loud with the snoring; You should've heard her in that bathroom today. That was. . ."

Buffy didn't even have to look in Willow's direction to know that she was receiving the Willow-glare full force. "Sorry, Wills."

"You should be, you horn dog."

Buffy settled under the covers, curled up next to her wife as she drifted off to sleep. "And proud of it..."

Willow chuckled at her best friend. "Good night, Buff."

The only sounds returned to Willow were the combined snoring of Faith and Buffy.

Willow smiled to herself as she fell asleep, dreaming of her newly found princess.

+++++++++++++++++

Chapter 5

Willow woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee brewing. She languidly stretched and sat up in the bed. Faith was sitting on the bed, an unlit cigarette hanging limply from her mouth.

"I thought Buffy was making you quit?"

Faith removed the cigarette from her mouth. "She may be my wife, but she ain't my boss."

"You may want to rethink that statement, honey."

Faith turned toward her wife's voice as a cross-looking Buffy shut the door with her foot. Several bags were stuffed into her small hands. Faith rose from the bed to go to her wife's aid.

"Let me help you with that, babe."

"Thank you, Faith." Buffy gave Faith a kiss on the cheek. "Now give me the cigarette."

Faith groaned loudly and handed over the cigarette. "And the pack that you have hidden in the suitcase."

"How the hell did you know that?"

Buffy just gave her a sweet smile and turned to the still drowsy redhead.

"You hungry, Will?"

"A little..."

Buffy handed Willow one of the bags. "Bagels and cream cheese are in that one."

Willow stifled a yawn. "Cool. Thanks, Buff."

"No problem. What about you, Faith?"

Faith looked at Buffy strangely, still confused by the fact that she knew about her cigarettes. "Got any bacon?"

Buffy handed Faith a bag. "Just for you. Bacon and biscuits. The butter's in there, too."

The girls ate their food and drank their coffee in silence. After breakfast, Willow got up to take a shower.

"Where you headed today, Red?"

"I'm going back to Magic Kingdom to watch Rachel march in the parade at three o' clock."

Buffy looked at her watch and back at the redhead. "You do know it's 11 o' clock, don't you?"

Willow grabbed a towel and headed in the direction of the bathroom.
"I know. I'm going earlier so I can check out the stuff I missed out on yesterday. . .and you can't come."

"Bummer."

Willow stuck out her tongue at Buffy and shut the door to the bathroom. Forty-five minutes later, a refreshed and redressed Willow emerged from the steaming bathroom. She brushed her hair and teeth and was out the door in less than 10 minutes.

Before she could get out of the door, Buffy called after her. "Willow, wait! What time are you going to be back?"

Willow shrugged. "I dunno. I'll call. Bye, guys!"

With that, she was out the door and headed to the shuttles.

Twenty minutes later, Willow was walking through the gates of the Magic Kingdom for the second time in 48 hours. As she walked around, she was overcome by the colors and activity surrounding her. She was immediately drawn to the castle, located in the center of the park Willow walked up to the front of the fairy tale castle. It was more beautiful than she had remembered. A soft voice from behind snapped her out of her daze.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

Willow turned around to see the most enchanting blue eyes shyly staring back at her.

"Tara, hi."

"Hey."

"What are you doing here? I thought you had to work today?"

"I do, I-I'm doing the night parade so I can see Rachel march in the one this afternoon. What about y-you? I'm sure it wasn't just the f-funnel cakes that made you come back..."

Willow laughed at the blonde's joke. "Rachel asked me to stroll on over to watch the parade."

"Oh...Would you like to maybe h-hang out with me until then? I-I know I'm not exactly the coolest person to be seen with..."

Willow smile at Tara's modesty. "I would love to."

Tara gave the redhead a responding smile. "Okay. What do you want to do?"

"Well, I didn't get to ride anything yesterday, so maybe we can do that if it's okay with you?"

"Of course. Do you like roller coasters?"

"As long as they don't go fast or leave the ground."

"'I'm g-gonna take that as a 'no' then..."

"Pretty much."

The girls began walking around the exterior of the castle.

"Have you ever considered trying to ride a roller coaster?"

"Not really. I've never actually been near one before. I don't really like heights all that much...or frogs."

Tara stopped walking and stared at the redhead. "Frogs?"

"Yeah...They're all small and green with their short green legs that help them hop around and attack people. And they have that weird eyeball thing...It scares me to-"

Willow looked up at Tara to see the blonde wearing an extremely amused smirk on her pleasant face.

"I've seen that smirk one too many times in the past two days. You think I'm insane, huh?"

A thoughtful look passed across Tara's face. "I'd say quirky."

A cheeky grin appeared on Willow's face. "Quirky, huh?"

Tara gently took hold of the redhead's arm and began walking toward Fantasy Land. "Yes, now b-by the beginning of the parade, you will be a roller coaster fiend."

Willow paled instantly and her voice became considerably weak and feeble. "Fiend, huh?"

"Don't worry, we'll start slow." Tara shot Willow a half-grin and a wink. Willow contentedly followed the blond though the park, still mesmerized by Tara's stunning smile. Those lips and that smile are going to be the death of me...

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Sorry it's so short, guys. But as usual, work is digging into my writing time. But I do need a little help from you guys...The next chapter could be the "Kiss," but I don't know how I want to work it in yet. I have part of the next one written, but I'm not sure if it's time for the kiss yet. Tell me what you guys think...And thanks for reading!

Hmm, Take-Charge-Tara? Yes please!!!!

So cute. And you're doing an awesome job keeping them in character

Don't worry too much about the kiss, you'll probably find it'll just fall in naturally as you continue to write.

Keep up the awesomeness!
