Hey Ash Sorry I've not given any feedback in a long time but I didn't know you'd changed your stories title so I was still looking for 'Can A Basketball Love A Computer' but now I can finally catch up with it.

chapter 6
I really like Tara's brother, Alex, and the good relationship they have with each other. The way that he is so cheeky and answers Danny back really brings a big grin to my face. It's a nice change to see that after so many stories where Tara has a bad home life where she is brutalised by her father and brother all the time that in this story she has a happy home life

"Seriously freak," Cordelia said. "Are you like stalking Tara."

Willow couldn't believe it. She got caught every time. And this time she had a good reason. She didn't feel like dealing with Cordelia. Willow put her arms out as if to say seriously then she pointed to the trash bag and flung it over her shoulder.

Gotta love Willow's exasperated response to Cordelia's dumb question. I mean really, can't she see the apartments or are they out of line of sight?

Tara stared at the direction Willow just went. Her heart felt like it dropped a thousand feet and smashed against the hard ground. Willow had a girlfriend.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Tara, they're just friends really, you still have a chance.

chapter 7
I feel sorry for Tara, panicking over how she views Willow and realising that some of her ideas make her sound like Cordelia. But her realising that even if Willow is in a relationship she still wants to be close to her and be friends with Willow is a positive sign.

Willow looked up and smiled. "Of course. I have to go to the bathroom," she gathered up her books and put them in her bag. "I'll see you guys later."

"Hey we all usually meet at that small wall by the front doors before class," Xander said. "You should come after you well handle your business."

"She isn't doing business she is going pee," Anya said. "Or poop. I'm not sure."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha such hilarity from Anya, this really had me .

Tara chuckled. "I love watching you run so we're even." Now Tara's eyes widen. "Oh god now that sounded bad. I didn't mean I was like checking your backside out. Well I mean you have a nice backside, but that would be rude of me to say, but you really do," Tara put her hands. "Not that I've checked you out or anything. Okay well maybe I have, but it's not my fault you're beauti.." Tara stopped. She turned to walk away.

Looks like Willowbabble is contagious.

Such a sweet moment between Willow and Tara with much relief for Tara when she learns that Erin is just a friend of Willow's and not a girlfriend and then Tara offering to escort Willow to her class which can only bring them closer together YAAAAAAAAY.

"Because she's beautiful and nice and sweet and if you have a problem with it," she grabbed the basketball Ross was holding. "You can shove it," Tara stepped up to Cordelia. "Because I don't really give a damn what you think." She turned around and dribbled the ball back to where Anya and Willow stood.

Yeah, go Tara, you rock. We should all have a friend (and if we're lucky a girlfriend) like Tara who can kick ass.

The basketball practice between Willow, Tara, Anya and Rosa was hilarious and on that a big YAY to Rosa for being on Tara's side and joining her and the others.

Holy shit, Willow with scars on her wrists. I'm guessing she's slashed herself in the past but that is one scary, scary thing to do. Hopefully Willow will tell all to Tara who can comfort her and give her hope and love.

chapter8

"Willow," Tara sat up and put her hands on Willow's shoulders. "Calm down. I'm glad you think I'm cute because I think you are cute."

YAY for much cuteness all round.

During the week I would stay with her and go to her school and I could go back to working at the computer shop during the school year and on weekends come home so that's what happened.

How exactly would this work when Willow was already in the middle of a school year, and wouldn't her parents have to do something as well, form filling and such. At least Trinity cares enough to come up with a good idea like that.

Are Willow and Tara going to meet each other's friends in the future, it'll be interesting to see Willow meeting Faith. And Ithink it'll be good for Willow to have her old friends, Trinity, Erin and Lucas meet her new friends, Tara, Buffy, Xander, Anya and Rosa.

Willow's and Tara's stories are both so sad and upsetting. I'm actually really that Taylor would treat Willow so shitty, I hope that Tara does beat the fuck of her. Equally I hope that these revelations are big breakthroughs in the girls relationship and Willow now has a friend who understands her pain and is always there for her and presumably Tara is going to tell Cordelia to back off.

I've actually been at a point in my life similar to Willow. I was regularly bullied and picked on, called names, even now I don't know why. I'm not gay but I still had to endure all that Willow went through and got very depressed over it. So I tried to resove it in similar ways, self harming and poisoning myself so I have a lot of sympathy for Willow in this story. I was very lucky though, I ended up going to college and then university where I made some very good, lasting friendships but I did have that time in my life where peope hurt me I suppose because they could and they enjoyed it. But still I've never understood why anyone would bully another regardless of their orientation, color, religious beliefs etc.

hapter 9
It's so good that Willow feels a lot happier now that she's opened up to Tara and has found her to be accepting of Willow even after all the shit she went through. Though she does seem to be fretting a little too much that Tara might be another Taylor.

Tara is just so adorable in asking Willow out for ice cream and babbling slightly.

Their teasing each other over ice cream is so witty and just adds to the crumbling in Willow's defensive wall that she built to protect herself from harm.

It's nice to see Willow getting more used to being held, especially by yummy Tara.

I can't believe that Taylor and her friends didn't get reported for attacking Willow the way that they did. Her big heart shows though when she says that she wouldn't wish the beating she took on anyone and at least Willow is now moving on with her life and has new friends who care about her. It's just a pity it took such extreme measures for her to get to this point in her life.

Willow wanted to close the gap. She had never in her life wanted to kiss someone as badly as she wanted to kiss Tara. Everything about this girl seemed so right. She wanted to say fuck it to her fears and just kiss her. She bit the right side of her lower lip.

The sight of Willow biting her lip excited Tara and she couldn't take it anymore. She leaned down.

"TARA!" Both girls jumped apart.

"What?" Tara looked to her left. She rolled her eyes. "What do you want Cordelia?"

Noooooooooooooooooo, so near and yet so far.

Cordelia would fight with anyone all day, but Tara was different. Tara had helped her in many ways and Tara was there for her when she couldn't go to anyone else.

So is there more to Cordelia than you've shown us? Has Tara helped with a murky background or is she secretly gay herself but scared to come out and Tara helps her or at least listens to her problems?

I love the banter between Tara and Alex over Willow with Tara obviously quite shy in revealing her love for the little redhead.

Alex knew why she didn't want to go get them. She didn't want to leave. He looked from Willow to Tara. He had never heard his big sister talk about someone the way she talked about Willow. He knew she liked her and he was happy. Willow seemed nice, kind of quite, but nice. "Willow do you want to come home with us?" Alex asked.

How can anyone not love and his attempts to bring his sister and her crush together.

I gotta say that for me this chapter has been the best so far, in that while it seems there's not a lot of action there's a lot of fun and revelations as Alex tells us what Tara is too shy to say. It also says a lot of about the closeness of Tara and Alex in that she openly tells him about Willow and how she feels about her.

chapter 10

"Bonding," Tommy said. "How cute."

This Tommy doesn't seem to be a happy chappy, being rude to Willow like that but at least Amber seems nice.

Willow looked at her. "Women and her 4 kids? Where's your dad?"

Why do I have the feeling that there isn't a happy story to answer this question.

"I can hit you in the face," Tommy said.

"Way to sound like dad," Amber snapped.

"That's enough," Tara slammed her fist on the table. Willow jumped and looked at Tara. You could almost see the stem of anger coming out of her ears. She looked at Tommy and Alex who both looked shocked.

Definitely a serious case of unhappy families here. It certainly answers my earlier comment and there is obviously a history of abuse here too. Hopefully Tara can open up some more to Willow and talk about her own painful past.

"I'm sorry," Amber said. "Tommy I di..." Before she could finish Tommy slammed his book closed and ran out the kitchen.

"Nice," Tara stood up. "Real nice." she looked at Willow, "I'm sorry," then took off after Tommy who ran up the stairs.

Definitely a lot of unhappiness all around here. Perhaps Tara can persuade Tommy to come back and make everyone play nice. I also wonder if he suffered a lot at Mr. Maclay's hands

chapter 11

Mrs. Maclay seems a very nice person but what an about turn in her kids. One minute they're having a go at each other, the next they are all quiet and meek.

It's really good to see Tara's family like Willow. It now means she's not as alone as she always believed.

She wanted to go over to the bed, kneel over Willow and kiss her. But sadly she knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Awww, poor Tara believing that she's not going to be ever able to kiss Willow though they nearly did earlier, if only Cordelia hadn't interrupted.

We should go there sometime. I mean,” Tara caught herself. “You should go there sometime.”

Why is Tara so nervous? She's friends with Willow and is attracted to her so why would she suggest that Willow go to the bookstore alone????

Actually she was hoping Tara would put her hand on her cheek, move her head to look into her eyes and kiss her, but she highly doubted that was about to happen.

What's wrong with these two, they both seem to be in denial of how the other is feeling even though each girl knows the other is gay and must be able to recognise how much they want one another.

And finally we hear about Tara's life before Willow.

chapter 12

"My dad paid too much attention. He knew everything my mom did. She had to tell him where she was, how long she was there and if she forgot to tell him or couldn't get a hold of him and went and did something without his permission, he got mad." "He was controlling,"

Houston, we have a confirmation Mr. Maclay is a psycho.

"The cops came and neighbors said it happened a lot. I think they were trying to help, but with no proof what could the cops do?"

Wouldn't Mrs. Maclay have asked for help or at the very least for her kids to be taken somewhere safe so they wouldn't have to suffer the same abuse?

The attack on Anna and then on Tara sounds really violent and brutal, so much that I had to skip most of it, but I was so glad that their neighbour, Rich, was there filming the whole thing with two police officers so justice could be carried out. But a big YAY to Tara for being tough enough to take on her dad and helping her mom. It also shows why she takes such a narrow view on bullying and namecalling having seen first hand what it can lead to.

"You... You..." Willow couldn't form the words. "Are amazing," Willow said. Their eyes were locked.

Darn tootin she is, it's why so many of us want to be with her cos she's amazing. And hot

YAY they finally kiss.

chapter 13

"No this isn't how I spend every Saturday. But it's how I spend this day every year." he took another sip of his coffee.

"Are you gonna go see her?" Willow asked.

Giles put the cup on the counter. "I don't know. I haven't been. I did go. Everyday. The whole year after she died. Then I realized that it was just too hard and it made me too depressed and..."

I do like the fact that in this story it's not just been Willow, Tara or Tara's mom that have been through a major pain. Giles has suffered and possibly Cordelia too which is a reflection of real life. Everybody suffers some pain at some time.

Wear jeans and a sweater. Like you used to wear when you guys came to see us, Oo do you still have the nice blue sweater? That was her favorite."

It's good to seeWillow be there for Giles on what is plainly an incredibly sad day for him. I likethat she suggests what he wears to Alyson's grave using the idea that Alyson's spirit will see them and it's what she would like to see Giles dressed in.

Willow tried to hide the smile on her face from Tara's text. She was too scared to text her. Too scared that Tara would wake up this morning and regret the kissing. She put her phone back in her pocket. She wanted to text her back, but she didn't want to disrespect Uncle Giles.

Oh Willow, I don't know whether to feel sympathy for her or frustrated with her. Why is she too scared to text Tara back? I can understand her reluctance over whilst with Giles, this is obviously a time of deep emotion for him but she could have sent a text from home whilst her uncle was getting dressed.

"Hi Marge."

Her surname wouldn't be Simpson now would it

"Alex," Tommy said walking up to them. "Leave them alone," he gently nudged his brother away. Then he just looked at Willow and Tara. "I hope this isn't some weird teenage thing because I don't want to look that goofy when I get a girlfriend."

It's good to see that Tommy is much more likable than he was the previous day.

"We aren't girlfriends," Willow said finally pulling her gaze away from Tara and looking at her uncle. The look on his face made her pull completely away from Tara.

Tara's heart dropped to her feet when she did.

Ok, now what's going on here? Willow and Tara like each other but what's the expresssion on Giles face? Is it one of curiosity, dislike, unhappiness, interest and why is Willow so nervous of Giles knowing that she and Tara are an item?

"Surprising her with flowers," Anna smiled. "Romance isn't dead after all."

"Well she is," Giles said and walked out of the flower shop.

I understand that today is the anniversary of Alyson's death and an emotional time for Giles, but I don't think there is any reason to be rude to people over it. Especially people you've only just met.


chapter 14

It's very sad that Giles doesn't think that Willow should date Tara, though he does acknowledge that she is one of the nicest girls in the school, but I can understand his reasoning. Willow was badly abused by Taylor which made Willow take extreme measures against herself. He doesn't want to see this happen again to his beloved niece which is understandable, I just don't think it will work. He can't protect her forever and if he tries to force restrictions on Willow he will end up just pushing her away.

"Ooooo," Amber said.

"Kissing," Tommy said.

Alex threw his arms around himself and made a kissing face complete with sounds.

I can see these three causing a bit of mayhem for the girls.

"Kissing?" Giles looked at Willow who's face burned bright red and she looked at the ground. "I don't think," Giles turned back to Anna. "Dinner tonight is a good idea. Maybe some other time."

Oh dear, I don't see things going well for Willow here.

Even Tommy can sense an atmosphere in the air. At least he now shows he cares for Tara.

Did he think she was going to hurt Willow? Like Taylor did? The thought angered her. How could Giles think she would do that.

How can he think that after he's already stated that Tara is a nice girl.

Alex is adorable at the end offering comfort to his big sis.

Hi Ash!

Read this a while back . . thought I'd left f/b!

Have to echo Deb - who would have thought that Giles would be standing in their way? He seems to be thinking more of himself than Willow.

Tara's mom, Anna, is lovely - warm and inviting but I'm curious about the "Man of the House" situation and what that means for Tara and her siblings.

The most touching moment for me (aside from W/T angst) was little Alex offering to let Tara hug him and promising not to pull away that was just an Awwwwww moment!

Keep writing! Want more!

Ariel

Hey Ash Just wanted to say, please please PLEASE start writng your story again. I was enjoying it so much and am really missing it now that it's not there to read so give us more of the adventures of Willow and Tara, the A.G.D, Ambiguously Gay Duo

Chapter 15:

"Why do you look so bummed?" Rosa leaned against the locker next to Tara's and looked at her best friend.

Tara sighed as she grabbed a book from her bag and shoved it in her locker. "It's Monday."

"People do say that Mondays are the worst day for teens," Rosa smirked. "But seeing as how you've never bummed over Mondays before I'm guessing something else is wrong."

"I haven't heard from Willow since Saturday and that wasn't the greatest experience."

Rosa's smirked dropped. "What happened?"

Tara closed her locker then leaned next to her friend. "Willow and I kissed Friday night."

"Aw how cute," Rosa smiled.Tara gave her a look. "Uh," Rosa frowned. "Not cute?"

"Cute," Tara said. "Amazing. Wonderful. Heart pounding. Pulse racing. The best kiss of my life."

"Well damn," Rosa said. "Wait," Rosa moved from the locker and stood in front of Tara. "She kissed you Friday then you had a bad experience Saturday and you haven't talked to her since?"

"Yup."

"Did you guys..."

"No," Tara shouted as she shot up from the locker. A couple kids in the hall stared at her. "No," she repeated in a softer tone. "It's just. I don't know. Saturday was the anniversary of Mr. Giles's wife passing away."

"Well fuck."

"Yeah. So of course he wasn't in a good mood and I guess Willow wasn't either. She just seemed so distance and Mr. Giles seemed pretty upset when he found out we kissed. I asked her to text me, but she didn't and I haven't seen her this morning."

"Well school hasn't begun yet," Rosa said. "Maybe she is just running late."

Tara shook her head. "She helps Xander in the morning with some work."

"Well maybe she didn't today. Maybe she just doesn't feel good," Rosa tried to reassure her friend.

"Or maybe she is just avoiding me," Tara said.

"I don't think so. I know I don't know Willow that well, but she doesn't seem like that kind of person. I'm sure there is a good excuse for what is going on."

Tara just shrugged.

The bell rang.

"Come on," Rosa said. "Time for class."

"Oh joy," Tara said.
-------------------------------------------
"You alright?" Buffy asked Willow as she sat down next to her.

Willow just shrugged. Her head rested on her arms. Staring at the blackboard in front of her.

"Look I know you don't know me that well and you seem kinda eh with people, but if you need someone I'm here for you."

Willow looked at Buffy and smiled. "Thank you," she said in a small voice.

"Don't thank me," Buffy said. "Just try to trust me."

Willow just stared at Buffy for a couple seconds. She didn't really trust anyone, but she did need a friend. Erin had a job and was working all the time. Lucas and Trinity seemed to be busy too. It kind of sucked not having someone to talk too. "Okay," Willow sat up. "So you know Tara."

"Yes," a smile came to Buffy's face.

"Why are you smiling?" Willow asked.

"Well you are gay and she is gay," the smile widen on Buffy's face.

"Stop smiling," Willow said.

"Do you like her?"

"Stop smiling."

"Do you want to kiss her?"

A blush formed on Willow's cheeks.

"Oh my gosh," Buffy said. "You did kiss her!"

The teacher cleared her throat. Buffy and Willow looked up to see everyone in the class looking at them. "Is there something you girls would like to share?" Mrs. Carter said.

"Yeah like who would want to kiss such a loser," the same boy who gave Willow trouble on her first day said. A couple kids laughed.

Willow's face turned a deeper red and she slide down in her seat.

"I'd rather kiss a loser than an asshole," Buffy said.

"Didn't know you went that way Buff," the boy smirked. "Kinda hot. You can do better than red there though."

"That's enough," Mrs. Carter shouted.

"What is your problem," Buffy said. "She didn't do anything to you."

"I'm done," Willow grabbed her stuff and jumped up from her seat.

"Look what you did," Buffy said. "Willow wait." She got up from her seat.

"Run little nerdy girl," the boy said.

"That's it," Buffy turned on her heels and went for him.

"I said," Mrs. Carter jumped in front of Buffy. "That's enough. Mr. Anderson, office now. You can forget about playing on Friday."

"What?!" Anderson yelled. A lot of angry mummers filled the class.

"You can only thank yourself. Now go."

"Whatever," he slammed his book closed, grabbed his stuff and gave Buffy a dirty look as he slide by her and out the door.

"I'm gonna go find Willow," Buffy said.

"No you will sit," Mrs. Carter said. "I will notify her Uncle."

Buffy just glared at her teacher.

"Sit," Mrs. Carter said.

Buffy walked back to her desk and threw herself onto her chair.
------------------------------------
Willow slammed herself against a locker and slide down to the floor. Tears rolled down her cheek. No matter where I got to school it always sucks. It doesn't matter if it's for being gay or being a loser. People suck. Why does this always happen to me. Something about me has to just scream make fun of. Push around. Hurt her feelings. Willow slammed her head against the locker then pulled her knees to her chest and laid her forehead on them. This sucks. I am just meant to be miserable. "Silly me," she said out loud. "I thought things were actually going to get better."

"Hey," Willow winced as the voice as her head shot up. Anderson, she still didn't know his first name, stood a couple feet away from her. "You got me banned from playing Friday's game."

Willow opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He looked mad and she was scared.

"What? Nothing to say?" he took a step closer. "Man why do teachers always take the side of losers." Willow just stared at him. "Oh I forgot," he smirked. "You don't have your short side kick to help you out. You can't even stand up for yourself. How pathetic." he took another step towards her.

"Take one more step and it'll be your last," Willow turned her head and saw Brad standing a couple feet from her.

"Aw one nerd coming to help another?"

"That's right," Brad walked up and stood next to Willow. "Sheesh you will just pick on anyone won't you. Willow is like the nicest person ever and you are gonna be an ass? What is wrong with you?"

"She got me banned from playing in Friday's game."

"I did not," Willow said.

"Finally find your voice," Anderson said.

"Leave her alone," Brad stood in front of Willow. "She probably did nothing. Your assholeness is what got you in trouble."

"You don't know shit," Anderson said.

"I know you are an ass and that is what always gets you in trouble. Why don't you try being nice."

"Hm," Anderson made a thinking face. "Nah. That takes the fun out of everything," he smirked.

"What the hell is going on," everyone turned to see Tara, who just come around the corner, standing there. Tara saw Willow and walked up to her. "What happened," she knelt in front of the girl. "Are you okay?"

"Obviously not," Brad said.

Tara glared up at him. "I wasn't asking you." She looked back at Willow. "What happened?"

"What happened?" Willow said. "What happened is I hate this school." Willow stood up. Tara did too. "I hate half the people here. I hate being treated like crap. So much for things get better. My life fucking sucks and I'm staring to think that will never change." Willow took off down the hall.

"Hey," Anderson yelled.

"I don't know what happened," Tara turned to the two boys. "But whoever made her cry better watch their fucking back." Tara took off after Willow. Tara rounded the corner and saw nothing. "Well I should have known that was pointless," she said. She pulled out her phone and called Willow. Voice mail. "Damn it Will." She ran off towards the library. She looked through the windows. She didn't see anyone. She pushed the doors open and walked in. "Mr. Giles?" she shouted. She walked to the front desk.

"Tara," Giles came around the corner. "What can I help you with?"

"Is Willow here?"

"She is," Giles said. "I'm trying to convince her to go to her next class when it starts."

"Maybe I can help," Tara said.

Giles took off his glasses and started to clean them. "I don't think that is a very good idea Tara."

"Please. Maybe I can help."

"I don't think," Giles put his glasses back on. "You can. This isn't something you can help with. But I assure you she will be getting help. Now I think you should go back to class before you get into trouble."

"Can't I just sit with her until my next class."

"No," Giles said. "Now go."

"No," Tara said.

"Excuse me."

"You heard me. I said no. I'm not going anywhere," Tara turned to the first chair she saw and sat down.

"I will call your mother," Giles said.

"Call her. Go head. I'd rather get in trouble then leave."

"Tara."

"Mr. Giles."

Giles sighed. "If Willow doesn't want to see you, she doesn't want to see you."

"Did she say she didn't want to see me?"

"Yes actually she did."

"Really? Because three days ago she was prepared to see all a lot of me."

"Excuse me," Giles said.

"I was not," Willow came storming out of the office.

"I thought that would work," Tara smirked.

"Are you kidding me," Willow said. "First Cordelia and Harmony and basically all your friends then Dakota then Anderson now you are saying I wanted to see a lot of you."

"Don't," Tara stood up. "Compare me to them. I'm not them. In fact I'm not Taylor or her friends or any of the other kids at your old school. I'm not your parents. I'm me. I'm Tara and I'm not going to hurt you. Why? Because I'm not like that and because I like you way too damn much to do that. Oh and I'm not going anywhere," Tara sat back down. "And both of you better start getting used to that."

"I think it is time I called your mother," Giles walked to his office.

"Why are you doing this?" Willow asked. "I'm not worth getting into trouble for."

"That's where you are wrong," Tara said. "You are worth a lot. A lot more than you think."

Ash

Dibs!

Nice to see you back with this.

Loved that Tara stood up to Giles, and to Willow too. I know he wants to help and protect Willow, but each situation has to be judged on its own, and at least for what happened in the last chapter it seemed that some of his own pain was bleeding into his reactions. But Tara is also letting it be known to them both that she won't just be run off because Willow (and Giles) are scared. Cool.

Keep it up!

Well done, Tara! If there wasn't such a spark between W/T she would seem stalkerish but this way she's just committed. She can see that there is shit going on that isn't about how she and Willow feel about each other and she's sticking it out. I hope if Giles does call Ms. Maclay that she tells him to shove it or something. The football player guy is such an asshole. I'm glad that Brad was there to help out even if Willow was feeling so dark about the whole thing. Yay for Brad & Buffy.

Ally McBeal

Its good to see you back on the board Ash, I've really missed this story.

And we're straight in with the angst as Tara frets over Willow having not contacted her since Saturday.

"Look I know you don't know me that well and you seem kinda eh with people, but if you need someone I'm here for you."

Willow looked at Buffy and smiled. "Thank you," she said in a small voice.

"Don't thank me," Buffy said. "Just try to trust me."

"Why are you smiling?" Willow asked.

"Well you are gay and she is gay," the smile widen on Buffy's face.

"Stop smiling," Willow said.

"Do you like her?"

"Do you want to kiss her?"

Buffy and Willow, the beginnings of a beautiful friendship and already Buffy knows her redheaded buddy so well.

I hope that later Buffy and Tara take it in turns to beat the shit out of Andersen for picking on Willow. Twats like that always need a good kicking to put them back in their place.

Willow slammed herself against a locker and slide down to the floor. Tears rolled down her cheek. No matter where I got to school it always sucks. It doesn't matter if it's for being gay or being a loser. People suck. Why does this always happen to me. Something about me has to just scream make fun of. Push around. Hurt her feelings. Willow slammed her head against the locker then pulled her knees to her chest and laid her forehead on them. This sucks. I am just meant to be miserable. "Silly me," she said out loud. "I thought things were actually going to get better."

Awww:( poor Willow this is making me all upset and sad for her. I hope that you're going to make things better for her and Tara soon.

"Take one more step and it'll be your last," Willow turned her head and saw Brad standing a couple of feet from her.

"I don't know what happened," Tara turned to the two boys. "But whoever made her cry better watch their fucking back."


Kick ass Tara is back and boy is she pissed. I'd hate to be Andersen when she learns what he did to upset Willow.

Oh yeah, go Tara standing up to Giles and not leaving until you've seen Willow and then telling Willow just how much she is worth and how much you like her. Hopefully now can get a little better for Willow seeing as she now knows that she has at least two true friends in the school, Buffy and Tara. And hopefully someone can kick the crap out of Andersen preventing him from playing for a long time.

One thing, is Mrs. Carter based on the character of Coach Carter from the Samuel L Jackson film of the same name?

omc! i adore this story i have never commented on any fan fic so bare with me lol but i really really hope you continue to update this i love this story so much i cant wait to see how Willow and Tara fix things. and i wanna see if Giles ever warms up to Willow being with Tara.
