bluewillowwitch- Glad you liked it, and yeah I think Buffy had to do some persuading, thanks for reading!



sam darls- I'm happy you think its good and W & T are cuter than Larry and Oz for sure!



Spot- It's OK, you can repeat yourself all you want especially if it's something good!



So here's the update...enjoy...hopefully!







        For a moment they just stared at each other both wearing goofy, slightly nervous grins. “Hi” Willow sighed. “Hi” Tara replied dreamily. “Oh, this is supposed to be the part where I let you in, sorry” Willow said, moving aside to let Tara step into the house. “It’s okay” Tara replied, walking inside. “So…” Willow said, looking everywhere but at Tara. “Umm, nice house” Tara said looking around, but really just wanting to make an awkward moment less…awkward. “Oh, thanks but uh it’s not as nice as it is…just really big, I mean sometimes I get lost, and I can never find something when I want it, and I get so tired walking to and from places.”



        Tara giggled at Willows’ mini-babble. “Are you laughing at me Miss. Maclay?” Willow asked mock offended. “No, of course not” Tara replied, though her grin told a different story. “Yes you are.” Willow whined, with an adorable pout. Tara giggled again “You’re just too cute Willow Rosenberg.” ‘Cute…she called me cute…she thinks I’m cute…WOO HOO!’ She thought while doing her internal patented happy dance. “Hey weren’t ya supposed to show me your awesome piano skills?” Willow asked remembering Tara’s earlier promise.



“Oh, yeah I was hoping you might’ve forgotten…and they’re not awesome.” She said, already starting to blush at the thought of playing for Willow; no huge crowd at some fancy concert had ever made her this nervous. “We’ll just see about that” Willow said, sure that she would think Tara was amazing even if she ended up sounding as bad as...well as bad as her singing. They moved to the living room, where the piano was located. ‘Please don’t mess up in front of Willow, please don’t mess up, please don’t mess up…’ Tara thought as she sat down and began to play.



        Tara's hair fell forward just a bit, but from her position Willow could still see her face; her eyebrows were knitted in concentration and she bit her lip as she hit the notes. It was a bright, cheerful melody matching the one in Willow’s own heart. And as she stared at Tara; feeling a tingling rise in her chest as if she was about to ride a huge, winding rollercoaster she knew she’d never seen anything more beautiful. Yup, it was official she Willow Rosenberg was completely ga-ga over Tara Maclay.

Ok, if i can repeat myself then...

[WintersDreamer]

I'm really enjoying the " gazing from afar" between Willow and Tara but I have to admit the dialog between the characters is what I like best.

The best line so far ? well there are several, but I've narrowed it down to.....

“We’re pathetic” He said matter of factly. “Now you notice?” She asked, mock shocked. “No I’ve known for a while, I just didn’t know if you knew.” “Oh I know.”



Looking forward to more. Soon please !

[mxgirl314]

This is such a good story. I love the high school stories of Willow and Tara. Keep up the good work. Can't wait till next update.

[bluewillowwitch]

Awww... there's just so much cuteness! I loved the little obsessing over the knock bit...

I believe in the madness called "now."

[Blue Channel]

Spot: Happy you love it! And thanks, it was sorta hard for me to write the scene though.



WintersDreamer: I'm glad you're enjoying it, yeah that's one of my favorite lines too.



mxgirl314: Glad you think it's good, I love the high school stories too!



bluewillowwitch: Thanks! And yeah, they probably won't last too long... it's soooo obvious!



Tempest Duer: Yeah, obsessing over a knock is just one of the quirky things Willow would do, Thanks for reading!



Here's the update...hope ya like!







“So, how’d it go, I want like every detail!” Buffy squealed, as her and Willow walked to school together. “Buff, you’re havin’ one o’ those blonde moments again” Willow noted. “Oh sorry,” Buffy said sheepishly “So what happened?” She replied a little calmer this time. “It was great she played the piano for me and everything!” Willow said with a huge grin. “Sounds good, so are you two gonna be all with the couple-y goodness anytime soon?” Willow would have answered, had Tara not been walking straight towards them.



Buffy looked at Willow who was obviously in a Tara-induced trance “Its al right Will I wasn’t talking.” “Huh?” Willow asked not taking her eyes off of Tara. “I’ll see ya in class, k’?” Buffy asked. “Wha, who are you?” Willow asked, still off in Tara-land. “I…WILL…SEE…YOU…IN…CLASS.” Buffy said, as if she were talking to a slow person. “Huh?” Willow asked finally turning to Buffy. “I…oh forget it.” She said throwing her arms up in the air in defeat and walking away. ‘Wonder what’s wrong with her.’ Willow thought turning back to Tara.



“So…how’d it go, I wanna know everything!” Oz squealed as he and Tara were walking to class. “Oz, you’re having one of those extremely gay moments again” Tara noted with a smile. “Oh, sorry,” He said reverting back to his stoic-y-ness “How’d it go?” “Amazing…she was just amazing!” Tara said with a glazed look in her eyes. Oz was about to respond before he caught sight of a familiar red-head. “Umm, I’ll see ya later k’ Tare?” He said walking off in the opposite direction…unknowingly headed straight towards Larry.



“Hey.” She knew that voice, she always would…Willow. “Hi.” ‘I wonder how long I’ll have to know her for the sound of her voice to stop making me melt…’ Tara thought. “So, what ya up to?” Willow asked. “Just um heading to class, I do that sometimes.” “Yeah me too, I do that too,” She said “Um, Tara?” “Yes?” “Can I walk you…to um class I mean?” She asked hopefully. “Sure, I mean ok.” “Great.” Willow said. “Great.” Tara said with a huge lopsided smile that turned Willows legs to jell-o. ‘OK Will, walking involves walking, so start walking… and please don’t fall.’

[mxgirl314]

Great up date. Loved the little moments Buffy had and then Oz had. Really funny. Keep up the good work can't wait till next update.

Hey! Update are too short!!



Great story!



What did songs did Tara play for Willow?



Please update soon!

[Blue Channel]

mxgirl 314: Yeah, the little moments are my favorite part of the story too. Thanks for reading!



bluewillowwitch: Thanks! I can't wait to see what happens to the lovebirds either...



chewy 19: Glad to see you liked it!



Shuyaka: Happy to see you're ga-ga over it!



allykat: Thanks! lol, I liked that part too!



WintersDreamer: Thanks! Glad to see you're liking it! And to answer your question I have no idea what song Tara played...



Heeeeeeres the update!



It had been two whole weeks. Two weeks since her and Tara had first spoken (officially). And they were still speaking too, the project was done and Tara was still talking to her, she’d been so sure that Tara would’ve lost all interest in her after the project was finished. But no, everyday she walked Tara to class, and they spent their lunch periods together, and met up after school and sent each other notes, yet Willow still wasn’t sure if Tara liked her. ‘Why would she want me? She could have anyone…’ She thought as she and Xander took their seats next to each other in History class.



        Oz sat down in his usual seat; to the right of Anya, and casually passed her the note, “Pass it to Willow” He whispered to her. Anya took the note and passed it to Xander. Xander turned to Willow “Ya see,” He said smugly “I can get notes too.” “Pass it to Willow.” Anya whispered seeing that Xander was still holding on to the note. “Ugh, here” Xander said pathetically, while handing Willow the note. Willow just smiled, trying to hold in her laughter; while opening the note, already knowing who it was from.



        Hey, Will

I’m in Math class right now (Ugh, math, we’ve already established that’s not my best subject) your study tips really helped though; I got a ‘B+’ in the quiz! You were right Will, you’re definitely a wiz; not that I ever doubted your special ‘wizical’ powers of course. You’d have to be a real wiz if you could get me to understand Algebra 2. Anyway, I don’t want to keep you away from class too long; though knowing you; it probably wouldn’t harm your average even a little. Well I’ll see ya at lunch my lil’ Willow-wiz, I’ll be waiting at our regular spot in the picnic tables.

Yours, Tara



‘Mine?’ Willow thought, and proceeded to analyze the word and all of its possible hidden meanings for the rest of the class period.        

[willowsgirl]

Hey jen,

I just caught up on all the latest updates, and I have to say that I LOVE IT! its so cute

I loved that part with the note in the last part, Im sure Im not the only person to have been there and done that, analyzing every word just like willow.

More soon please! Oh, and have I got the 1st reply? If I have yay me!



willowsgirl/stacey xx

[willowsgirl]

Oh, and I forgot to say- how funny was the part when Xander thought the note was for him! I felt kinda bad when Anya said 'pass it to Willow'- I can just imagine the crestfallen look on his face!

[Spottie Dottie]

LOVE the story. I've been away from this board way to long. This is the 1st story I've read in 2 months. So now I'm off to read all the other stories I started reading prior to my 2 months hiatus. As well as all the new ones that I haven't read yet. Kudos! Looking forward to a wonderful update.

[sam darls]

[allykat]

Poor Xander...

Loved the note!! Great update!!!

[Tempest Duer]

Poor Xander! Nothing ever goes right for him. Oh well... the note was well, like, uh.. just the epitome of cuteness! I loved it... and Willow's analysis of the word "yours"

I believe in the madness called "now."

[Blue Channel]

willowsgirl: Hey Stacey, I’m glad you liked it, and yeah I’ve been there too, I think I’ve analyzed just about every word in the dictionary.



bluewillowwitch: Happy you liked it, and yeah I think Willow and Tara will always be drawn together.



mxgirl314: Thanks, and yeah poor Xander, I think I pretty much slayed his ego.



Spottie Dottie: Glad you like! And wow 2 months…you sure do got a lotta catchin’ up to do!



sam darls: Thanks! Happy ya liked it!



allykat: Yes, poor, pathetic Xander; always reminded me of me…anyway thanks for reading!



Tempest Duer: Yeah, Xander’s a jinx al right! Glad ya liked it…and yeah those in love tend to analyze.



Well here’s the update…enjoy!

       



“Oh, that is so not a real word!” Tara said; her and Willow were lying on Willows’ bed engaged in a very intense game of scrabble. “It is so!” Willow said. “Well I’m challenging it…” Tara said reaching for the dictionary. “Fine go ahead…jeez where’s the trust anyway?” She asked, slightly distracted by the top Tara was wearing…the very revealing top Tara was wearing. She decided to snap back to reality before Tara noticed her staring. “Hey, how long does it take ya to look up a word Tare?” She asked taking the dictionary from Tara.



“Hey, you’re all the way in the P’s ya big cheater!” “I am not…” Tara said wearing her most innocent face. “Oh don’t you point those big blue eyes at me Tara Maclay…you were cheating and ya know it!” “Was not…jeez where’s the trust anyway?” She asked, giggling. That was of course, before Willow hit her over the head with a pillow. “Hey!” Tara said getting Willow back with a pillow over the head of her own, which led to a fifteen minute pillow fight, before- CRASH! “Ooops” Willow said. “Uh-oh” Tara mumbled.



***************



“S-sorry about that lamp” Tara said; as Willow walked her home. “Oh it’s al right, it’s easily replaced, and uh just between you and me, I always thought it was sorta ugly.” Willow said trying to make Tara feel better, in the few weeks she’d known the girl she’d noticed that when ever something bad happened Tara tended to blame herself; and she couldn’t help but wonder why. “Plus, it was more my fault than yours seein’ as I started the whole thing.” “But I’m the one who- “Hey… its al right ok?” Willow asked. “Ok” Tara said, as they stopped at her door.



“So…” Willow said, nervously. “So…” Tara replied, looking down at her feet. ‘Ok this is it Rosenberg…Fate, Destiny…and all that other stuff in Disney movies.’ Willow thought as she leaned forward. It could hardly be considered a kiss, it was short and awkward, her bottom lip barely resting against Tara’s bottom lip, but it was a kiss nonetheless…and it was amazing. Willow pulled away slowly; afraid of Tara’s reaction. But, surprisingly, she was met with one of Tara’s adorable-sexy half smiles. ‘Yay’ they both thought.
