Welcome to Sunnydale High- A/U

[mocha fiend 22]

this is such a cool fic... i really like how you got them to sort of know each other and Tara as a punked out shy girl is very cool... great job keep it up

The word "gulp" comes to mind.

[tommo]

All caught up with this now. I love AU fics that have Willow and Tara at high school. They're so very cute here, and I love how they both confessed their feelings at the same time.



I like how you're introducing the other characters too; it seems that everyone wants to represent Buffy as some vapid cheerleader type and that is hilarious to read.



Just one suggestion; the narrative is rather sparse. You create such fun characters that I think I'd like to see the dialogue rooted in something a bit more developed. I love the images you've already used, particularly the one about the half-closed curtains and the sunlight and the way Tara's hair looks. You clearly have a way with the descriptive, and I think it would be just great to see lots more of that in the fic itself, to bind together the cute dialogue and internal monologues.



Look forward to reading more. Thanks for this.

She's the cutest of the Kittens with her tits as warm as mittens and her firm yet supple...tight embrace...

Chance- Hiya, sweetie. Glad you're feeling better, and thanks for reading. Keep gettin' better, see ya tomorrow (hopefully). Love you always!



mocha fiend 22- Thank you so much. I'm really glad so many people are enjoying it, and I can't stress my thanks enough! I only write what my brain tells me to!



Tommo- Y'all are too nice...And yeah, when I imagined Willow and Tara, in highschool, together, it always hit me as cute. And me being in highschool myself, I figured I could relate.



Thanks. I've gotta stick the gang in the next update, this one is all W/T. And Buffy always reminded me of some of the cheerleaders I know, so I get first-hand knowledge on that one, lol.



Also, thanks for the tips. I tend to just write dialouge, and I don't catch myself when I do it. Im glad you liked the little descriptive side of me, but I really dont think its too good, but thats just me. I tried to be more descriptive in this update.



Thank you for reading.





Stroke of Luck- Hey, SoL!



Aww, 'course I can forgive you! *Hug* Im full of the forgiveness gene! And yesh, more reading for you!



When more smoochies come, it won't be short. I think this one is kinda longer...Dunna, I can't tell.



Im glad you like it and Im using both hands. Thanks for reading!



Tawilove- Lucky for me, my angel ish doing better! Even though it meant missing school, just as long as she gets better, I dont care. I hate to see her sick. But Im glad she's feeling better, and thanks for the concern!



Angsty is bad, but lucky for me Im over my angst today! Im glad y'all know how to wait *somewhat* patiently, in case I ever have a homework-filled week.



On to the story, y'all!

Title: Welcome to Sunnydale High

Summary: See first post

Author's notes: This takes place right after the last update.







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



"No, but I did hear someone say 'Goodnight, baby'." Willow stated, reaching over and switching on Tara's lamp that was sitting on a sky-colored bed-side table, which was cluttered with numerous books, a water bottle, a brush, and things of that sort. Somewhere under there was an alarm clock, too.



The light cast odd shadows on the tan walls, Willow's imagination momentarily running wild as she watched the moving shapes.



"And I heard s-someone say 'G-Goodnight, angel'." Tara said, scootching away from Willow a bit.



Oh, Goddess, that is what I thought.... Tara and Willow thought in unison.



Willow blinked, realization dawning on her.



"You heard that, didn't you?" Willow said, shocked.



"Yes, and so did y-you." Tara replied, just as equally shocked.



Willow got up and stood, pacing the length of the room, bare feet hitting the purple rug silently.



"Okay, then what am I thinking now?" Willow asked, continuing to pace as she thought, Oohh...Lalalalala...La...Frogs...La...



Tara held in a nervous giggle. "Uhm, Lalalala...La...Frogs...La?" Frogs?



Willow stopped her pacing, and nodded slowly, leaning against the wall for support. This is odd...This also wasn't supposed to happen. You're not supposed to be able to read people's minds...



"I k-know you're not...But...It happened. How about we sleep o-on it and worry about it t-tomorrow?" Tara offered, drawing her chin up to her knees, quietly watching shadows play across the wall.



"Alright." Willow sighed softly, slipping into bed next to Tara.



Tara curled up beside Willow, who wrapped her arm around Tara. Willow gave Tara a quick kiss on the lips, and the other girl returned the short kiss before settling her head on Willow's shoulder. Willow used her free arm to switch off the lamp, then to pull the covers tightly around her angel.



"W-Willow?" Tara asked a few moments later.



"Hmm, angel?" Willow replied, not opening her eyes.



"A-Are you a w-witch?"



There was silence, then Willow reached over and turned the light on again.



"Y...Yes, I am. Are...Are you?"



Tara nodded, and sat up. Willow sighed, half-yawning.



It's going to be a long night... Willow thought.



No duh... Came the mental reply of her blond angel.



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



The halls of Sunnydale high were filled with the normal chatter and buzz of excitement as Willow and Tara manuevered their way through the mob of people, hand in hand, which was unseen by many. Most of the people were either too wrapped up in their own lives, or they could just care less.

The forest-green walls were covered mostly in posters, some of which bore the logo "Be cool, stay in school!" and featured a large thumbs-up sign. Willow read the sign quickly before continuing at a quick pace down the halls, pulled by Tara.



The library will be a good place to check this out. I mean, its called a library for a reason. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a library. Then again, its not the word "library" is like "bookbry" or something... Willow thought.



Tara supressed a giggle. "Bookbry" Nice babble, Will.



Willow made a face at Tara, who in turn purposely turned a corner sharply, leaving Willow (Author's note: Who was staring at Tara's butt the whole time, by the way) very disheveled momentarily. She was pulled forward by Tara, and was once again righted.



The girls had agreed last night to use their telepathy to their advantage. (Well, after story time anyway) It would be useful when in class, Tara had said, because if she got bored she could talk to Willow. Willow thought it was useful for that reason, and also if one of them got in trouble, they could comunicate with the other.



The two finally reached the library, and Tara let go of Willow's hand before they entered, and hoped this library had the books they needed.

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



"Hey, Geek, get over here and help me with my homework!"

A jock called to Willow, throwing a wadded up piece of paper at the back of her head to get her attention. It worked, and the paper bounced off her head and hit the floor. She reminded herself again why she hated Study so much, and ignored the jock.



"Hey, I was talking to you!" He called again, and Willow proceeded to ignore him.



Willow ducked another piece of paper, growling this time.



Why can't your Vocal Music lessons be another time? Willow thought, hoping Tara wasn't too caught up in her lesson.



I dunna, Will, why? Tara's angellic voice replied in her head, and Willow smiled, continuing to work on her Math homework.



Jocks.



Oh, they are annoying, believe me, I know. A couple at my grade-school broke my best Elemental skateboard...I loved that thing. Tara replied.



And even though Willow hadn't a clue what an "Elemental" skateboard was, she didn't exactly care. All that mattered was that she could hear Tara's voice...

[Tawilove]

Hey Piper nice to see you again, well "see" is maybe not the appropriate verb but anyway i'm sure you get it!

Glad your angel's feeling better!

Well that's definitly telepathy, and it's really cool , they can communicate with each other whenever they want and wherever they are! And of course exchange some words of love without anyone noticing , they can even try on the spicy talks

Hate those jocks too

cool they can read minds... thats awesome ok update soon

The word "gulp" comes to mind.

[MellindraX]

This is just....looooovely. The interaction is just sooo cute!



And who says Tara isn't the type for raver-y/gothic clothes? All my friends who wear that stuff (read that as all my friends, and me if I can ever pound into my mothers head it doesnt mean I'll be on drugs...) share big chunks of Tara's general personality. Some get shyness, some quietness, all somewhat Tara. She is very much for that kinda clothes (plus Tara in a trenchcoat---droool---)



Anyway, luvz it muchly!

On the official Buffy board, freaked-out Willow lovers demanded that the plot be revealed as an evil spell, or that the two girls prove to be nothing more than really, really good friends. (Although some good-natured petitioners went in the other direction, demanding a "tasteful shower scene.") –Girls’ Night Out, Article on Nerve.com

Just started this fic and i like it.

This sure is completely different that the Buffy universe we know, but as long as Tara and Willow are happy together i like it.



Nice way of them all to get together and Go Spike for defending our girls. I hope those people who treat them so bad get over themselves soon.

[Pipers Chance]

Sorry, y'all!

I know I haven't updated in a while. Writers block since the last one I wrote got deleted!! Eep. Also, I have the ending of this story and a Romeo and Juliet type story rolling around in my head. I might start that one and then maybe I can update this. Maybe not lol. Depends. Sorry to keep y'all waiting!

Hopefully new update soon!!!

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



"Hey...Willow, right?" Willow looked up from a lengthy text, pausing momentarily to study the girl in front of her. She was petite, with shoulder-length blond hair, and greenish-brown eyes. Her attire was definetely...Provocative. The girl was decked out in a pair of white high heels, a short black skirt and a tight, white halter top.



"Yes...Who are you?" The sleeping Tara beside her stirred a bit, to get comfortable. Tara's head was laying on the round table in the library, a few strands of hair covering her eyes. The sunlight streamed in through the parted blinds, bouncing off the walls and musty bookcases, and landing on her face, making her appear as if she was glowing. Willow smiled adoringly at the sleeping blond, forgetting the other blond standing there.



"I'm Buffy...Buffy Summers. I'm here looking for..." Buffy realized that Willow wasn't exactly paying attention to her anymore. She waved a hand in front of her face.

"Uh, hello?"



Willow snapped out of her daydreamish thing, and looked over at Buffy, smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry about that. What were you saying?"



"Uh, Im looking for a book on the Occult?" Buffy said nervously, shifting from one foot to the other.



"Second bookcase over there." Willow pointed. Buffy nodded in thanks, walking to the shelf.



"Will! Tar-" Spike sauntered into the library, and was abruptly cut off by Willow "shh"ing him, and pointing to the blond asleep next to her. He gave an "Ooh" face and smiled apolegetically, sitting across from Tara, who was still asleep.



"Hello, fellow-" Xander began to call as he walked in, but was cut off by Willow, Spike, Giles, and Buffy "shh"ing him. He stopped, and the group broke into a fit of silent giggles.



"Man," Xander whispered as he sat next to Spike, "Tara can sleep through anything."



"Yeah," Willow smiled, "I guess so."



"So, what are you researching?" Xander asked, picking up a text from the table, and flipping it open.



"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Willow said, shrugging and continuing to scan through her text.



"Try me." Xander said.



Willow shrugged, and poured into an account of last night's events, and today's. She left out the various snuggle and smoochie parts, of course.



"So, lemme guess, you don't believe me right?" Willow asked.



Xander shrugged, and Spike leaned in a bit., his voice dropping. "I do, Red. Stuff like this happens around here...Weird stuff. I've seen it with my own two eyes."



Buffy pretended to be reading a novel somewhere nearby, listening intently to the conversation.



Willow leaned in, too, as did Xander. "What kind of stuff?" She asked, intrigued.



Spike's voice lowered dramatically. "Vampires."



"No way." Willow countered.



"Way." Spike explained, leaning back in his chair. Tara began to stirr, mumbling something, then moving, and laying her head on Willow's shoulder and curling up contently in the large chair. Willow smiled.



"Prove it." Xander said, not believing Spike.



"Fine. We'll go to the graveyard tonight, but each of you bring a cross. I'll supply the stakes and holy water." Spike explained, crossing his arms across his chest.



"Stakes? Like, that you eat?" Willow asked, wrapping an arm around Tara, who made a happy purr-sounding noise.



"No," Spike shook his head, "Wooden stakes. Put 'em right through the heart, and poof, the vamp's dead."



"How would you know?" Xander asked increduously.



"Well, duh, I've staked 'em before, Harris." Spike snorted. "I had a run in with them when I was out in th graveyard."



"Why were you there?" Willow asked, smiling down at Tara.



"That's none of yer buisness, Red. No offense." Spike shrugged, standing.



"Meet me at the Graveyard at sun down." Spike said, moving towards the door. He meandered out, his long trenchcoat bellowing behind him.



Well, Buffy, looks like you're going on a graveyard adventure tonight.

[MellindraX]

Updates, ahh what sweet treasures. And such fun, too! Tara's all sleepy, ssshhhh , and Willows all cute, too (Willow, not cute? Unheard of and impossible!)

And graveyard fun! What joy!

They just don't like me because they think I'm trying to seduce their daughter.

You are trying to seduce their daughter.

They started it!

[The Rose24]

I like the way you are bringing the gang together, but in a different way. I look forward to the graveyard visit, and I am guessing Buffy is going to run into them and save their butts.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[DreamWalker]

Hi there~



Sorry about the late feedback, but I'm finally here! Just want to tell you what an absolute FANTASTIC job you are doing with this fic! I love it! The story is totally cute, funny and adorable!



I really like these new relationships between the Scoobies, and can't wait to see them develop more! Looking forward to their little graveyard adventure in your next update! (No pushy-rushy me here... nope nope)

[JustSkipIt]

Piper, I like your cute story. But I'm starting to be concerned about Tara. Is she Narcoleptic? On drugs? Abused (likely in most pens stories). Why is she always sleeping? Yes, the night scenes where she and Willow are always sleeping are cute. But why at school?



That aside, she and Willow are so cute.

Well i don't know why Tara's such a good sleeper but i guess Willow might be kinda exhausting her, long smoochie sessions maybe , or is it just a wicked wish

General Note: Damn, y'all are really observant. I didn't think anyone would really notice Tara falling asleep that much, but I have a reason that will be adressed in the next few updates. (And she's not on drugs)

Btw, I don't know which things I replied to and which I didnt, so bear with me here. =)



Chancey: Hey, sweetie! Love yas,

Stay away from Donald!



*Hugs*



SilverWingedNemesis: Glad you're enjoying my story, Nick. I write to please! (In more than one way... )



Little M: If I had a telepathic mind link, Ii would DEFINETELY be cheating on everything right now. Sadly, I don't have that privlege...*Sigh* If i did, I would ask for help on Spanish...

Glad you're enjoying!



shootingstar: W/t are the sweetest, yes.

I live to write author's comments! I always have to try to hold in my random comments because they can go a little far, lol...



Yes, telepathy would be muy, muy useful...



singgirl: Bob says "Thank you for reading!"



Tawilove: Yes, Im glad my angel is all fine now too. I dislike seeing her sick...

Nice to "see" you, too!

Ah, spicy talk. Soon to come, maybe. Depends on if my little teenage mind can handle it...LOL.

Dude, jocks can be very annoying...



Keep on readin!



mocha fiend 22: I hope I can update soon...I'll try to dish out the next one tonight or tomorrow!





MellindraX: I dress like that and Im shy. Ask Chancey! Seriously, people get really shocked when they see trenches so I didn't wear mine until like a month after school started, and even then I get some crap from people. "Freak" clothes aren't widely accepted, sadly.

My mom luckily likes (most) of my friends who dress differently.

Yes, Tara&Trenchcoat=



Glad yer lovin it!!!





Stroke of Luck: Hey SoL!

You mean my story gets dumber and dumber, lol?

Smoochies are good. 'n so are hugs! (Specially Chance-hugs! Yayy!)

*Hug*

Thanks for the praise and stuff...Im glad my work is appreciated!





littlecrazy80: Aww, tanks for reading!



TareBearRS: Anything with Will n Tara rocks.

Spike deserves a cookie!

And yes, those preppy/close-minded people do need to get over themselves. And don't I know a lot of em...

Thanks for reading and reviewing!





MellindraX: Ah, yes, there are many sweet treasures in life, and updates just happen to be one of 'em! =^.^=

Willow ish always cute. So is Tara.

Ah yes, graveyard camp-outs! Yayy!!





The Rose24: Im glad you like my story. I don't know just yet whos doing the saving, but it's someone!





DreamWalker: Aww...You're too nice!

Im soo hyper that people actually like my story! I mean, with me, it's unheard of!

Im normally doing the not the writing. (Well, I write but I've just never posted it.)

Lol, its okay, we all get a little pushy sometimes. It's human nature!

(Not Human Bondage...)





JustSkipIt: Im suprised you noticed the Tara-sleepy thing, and Im adressing that in future updates. Sorry to keep ya hangin'!



Glad you enjoyed W/T!





singgirl: We're off to see the vampy...

Author's Notes: I love Chancey.



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



"I r-really don't know if this is a g-good idea..." Tara stuttered, glancing around the graveyard nervously. She squeezed Willow's hand a little tighter, stepping carefully over a fallen headstone.



Willow shrugged, fighting back her own worries. "Well, what can go wrong? I mean, it's not like vampires actually exist....Right?" She looked over at Tara, eyes wide.



"Right." Tara nodded, eyes still flitting around nervously.



The night was unusally quiet, the only thing heard was the girl's footfalls. Not even a car passed by. The dry grass crunched under their feet, making a bit more noise than it should. The full moon was peeking out from between a few clouds, casting an omnious glow on the graveyard. The names on headstones were illuminated, and Willow read a few to calm her nerves. They passed a few slate gray crypts, neither girl volunteering to look for Spike in there. A few moments later, though, Willow froze, Tara stopping with her.



"W-What?" Tara asked nervously.



"Did you hear that?" Willow pulled out a flashlight, shining it across the ground and into a corner. She kept Tara's hand in her own, though. When she found nothing, Willow kept on walking, shining the light on the ground in front of them. Tara walked next to her, staying shoulder to shoulder.



"Willow?" Tara inquired, stopping this time.



"Yeah?" Willow looked around, shining the light in all directions, letting go of Tara's hand.



"Did you-" Before Tara could finish, she was tackled to the ground by a dark, slim, figure. She went to scream, but the man put his hand over her mouth. His eyes glowed a bright orange, and he growled, bearing two unusually long teeth.



Willow, meanwhile, was being held down by a second man, who had her arms behind her back, and a hand over her mouth. Willow struggled with all her might, but her attempts were futile. The man was bearing down on Tara now, his teeth mere inches away from her neck. Willow, in a frantic attempt to save her girlfriend, stomped on the man's foot, hard. He let her go, howling and hopping on one leg. Willow then promptly threw the flashlight at the other man's head, and he was knocked unconcious. He rolled off Tara and slumped next to her.

The second attacker, though, was now rushing towards Willow, who was just about to pull Tara to her feet.

Then, he was tackled to the ground by a flash of leather and bleached-blond hair.



"Leave the gurls alone. Didn't your mum ever teach you not to hit girls?" Willow recognized the voice as Spike, who then pulled out a wooden stake and pushed it through the attacker's chest. He disappeared into a cloud of dust. Spike rose, wiping the dust off his jeans, and went to the unconcious attacker. He shoved the stake threw that one's heart too, and the other attacker disappeared into another cloud of dust.



Willow pulled Tara to her feet, warpping her arms around the other girl in a hug. She kissed the top of Tara's head, tucking a strand of blond hair out of her eyes.



"You alright?" Willow asked, looking her over.



"F-fine..." Tara was obviously shocked, though.



Spike walked up next to the two, and Willow removed her arms from around Tara, slipping her hand in Tara's own.



"Well, Red, Glenda, that would be your first encounter with a vampire. Scary fella's, aren't they?" Spike asked, pulling out two stakes and handing one to each girl. "Suprised Harris isn't here yet."



Both Willow and Tara exchanged odd looks at the nicknames.



"E-Excuse me, Spike..." Tara said. "But did you just call me Glenda?"
