By the end of the story Tara was crying. she walks over to Willow who was crying her eyes out and wraps her arms around her and just held on to her as she cried, Willow wraps her arms tightly around Tara's waist and just cries her eyes out. As she cries the rest of the gang comes in and sees this, they were wondering what just happen. Tara sees them and holds up her hand to wait.
"It's all my fault, i should have listen to her and not go on that stupid ship," Willow cried
"Shhh, Will it's not your fault," Tara said, trying to calm her down.
"Yes it is can't you see that, she didn't even want to go and i begged her to go," Willow cried, even harder.
"Willow, sweetie, did you pull the trigger, did you blow up that ship no you didnt that wasn't your fault," Tara said, looking into her eyes.
"But i made her go," Willow cried.
"Yes you did, but how were you to know something terrible was going to happen that day, you didn't know," Tara said.
"it still feels like it's my fault, even after a year, my parents didn't even let me go to the funeral," Willow said, with tears still in her eyes.
"I tell you what, spring break is coming up how about all of us take a trip up there, so you can pay your respect," Tara said.
"That would be nice, but who will drive us?" Willow asked.
"I'll drive us up there," Donnie said, stepping out of the shadows, wiping his eyes.
"Yeah will, we'll all go with," Buffy said, walking over to them, with tears in her eyes.
"Gods Will why didn't you tell us about this last year?" Xander asked, walking up to his bestfriend.
"Because i thought it would all just go away and it wouldn't hurt anymore, but i was wrong it was eating me up inside and i was mean to everyone, even you," Willow said, looking up at Tara.
"Wait a second a ship you were on in Ga blew up, OH MY GOD Willow you were on the queens before it blew up?" Buffy asked.
"We were on it as it blew up about to jump off when the blast sent us flying over board, how did you know about it?" Willow asked, a little confused.
"It was all over the news the week you came home, And they said no one was hurt by it" Buffy said.
"Well Buffy my girlfriend was killed shot in her lower back twice, her parents must of paid to keep it out of the press," Willow said.
“Willow I’m so sorry,” Buffy said, hugging her.
“No Buffy, I’m the one that should be sorry, look at how I treated you guys this last year ,” Willow said.
“Willow you were hurting inside it’s understandable,” Buffy said.
“And you, you were so nice to me and I treated you like well like shit and I’m sorry,” Willow said, turning to look at Tara.
“It’s ok really it is,” Tara said.
“No let me make it up to you, it’s the least I could do,” Willow said.
“WILLOW!” a female voice yelled. WILLOW!
“In here,” Willow yelled back.
“Oh good there you are,” she said.
“And who might you be?” Xander asked, eyeing her up.
“Guys this is Faith, one of Jessica’s friends that was on the ship,” Willow said.
“Are you ok Willow?” Faith asked, walking up to her and hugged her.
“Faith, I miss her so much,” Willow cried.
“I know, I know we all do, do they know?” Faith asked.
“Yes I broke down and told Tara here the whole story, wait how did you know we were in here?” Willow asked.
“I followed them all the way over here, keeping in the shadows, Damn Blondie you are hot,” Faith said, looking over at Tara.
“Well, well, what do we have here?” A voice said, entering the room.
“Oh my god it’s you,” Faith said, turning around.
“WOW I’m honored that you remember me,” he said.
“Remember hell you killed my best friend and her girlfriend,” Faith said.
“Ah yes that was a good day,” He said, walking into the room fully.
“YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!” Faith yelled.
“TSK, TSK, such language for such a pretty girl,” He said, walking around them and grabbing Tara pulling her to him.
“TARA!,” Donnie said,
“You move and she’s dead,” He said, bringing a knife up.
“Let her go,” Willow said.
“HMMM… I think….. I’ll show your friends her what I did to your girlfriend,” He said.
“NO! don’t,” Willow yelled, pulling away from faith.
“As they all stood around watching this guy hold a knife to Tara’s throat, Willow started chanting under her breath. Before any knew it there was thick black smoke all around them and they couldn’t see a thing. The only that could see was Willow she runs over grabbing the sword from Xander and running over to Tara and the guy ripping the knife from his hands pushing Tara away and running the sword through him. “CLEAR” after saying that the black smoke cleared and everyone looked around and saw Tara on the ground un hurt Donnie runs over to her, finding the guy laying just off to the side dead with a sword sticking out of him and Willow standing over him.
“Will,” Buffy said, walking over to her.
“I’m fine Buffy, are you ok?” Willow asked, looking over at Tara.
“Yes I’m ok,” Tara said, looking at her.
“Tara I thought you did the smoke thing,” Donnie whispered to his sister.
“No I couldn’t think of anything at that moment,” Tara said, standing up
“C’mon guys lets get out of here,” Buffy said, helping an unstable Willow out of the cave.
They headed out of the cave and straight out to Willow’s truck. As Buffy was driving them back into town, Willow was starring out the window watching the trees as the went by. Buffy dead stops when she saw a figure In the road.
“What the, who is that?” Xander asked, seeing the girl.
“I don’t know never seen her before,” Buffy said.
“Oh my god, Willow look,” Faith said, sitting up and looking out the windshield noticing who it was.
“It can’t be,” Willow said, opening the door, and getting out with Faith behind her, and walking up to the girl.
“Thank you Willow,” the girl said, when Willow approached.
“Jessica, how can it be you?” Willow asked, tears staring to fall again.
“When you killed him it freed my soul, No don’t cry sweetie,” the ghost of Jessica said.
“I miss you so much, and I’m sorry I made you go on that ship,” Willow cried.
“It’s ok, it’s not your fault, stop blaming your self,” she said.
“Hey Bitch,” Faith said, from behind willow.
“Faith hey,” she said.
“Are those your friends you told me about?” she asked.
“Wait how can we see you?” Faith asked.
“I don’t know you just can,” she said.
“Are you alive?” Faith asked.
“Nope still dead,” she said, looking at willow, then over at Tara.
“Willow, give her a chance,” she said looking at Tara.
“How can I when I still love you?” Willow asked.
“I know you love me, you always will, but you have to move on,” She said.
“I can’t do that Jess,” Willow said.
You have to for me, that’s the only way I can move on,” she said.
“What do you mean?” Willow asked.
“Your love for me is holding me here, the only way I can move on is if you find love in her,” she said.
“you want me to find a new love?” Willow asked, looking over at Tara.
“Yes I do, hey blondie over here, give us a minute” she said, calling Tara
“Um, hi,” Tara said, walking up.
“Hi do you have feelings for Willow?” she asked.
“Yes I do, but she doesn’t return the feelings back,” Tara said.
“She will, hey Will,” she said.
“you have to go don’t you?” willow asked, walking up to her.
“I cant go unless you two agree to go out, so what do you say,” she said.
“Tara you want to go out sometimes?” Willow asked.
“I love to and maybe you can show me that smoke thing you did,” Tara said.
“my Work here is done, Tara take care of her,” she said.
“I will I promise,” Tara said.
“Jessica,” Willow said.
“SHHH, Willow don’t cry,” She said, pulling willow in for a hug.
After hugging Willow she turns and walks into a light and disappears. the gang heads back to the truck, heading back home
