“Mom, do I have to stay?” Tara asked, for the tenth time in six minutes.
Her mother sighed and said, “Sweetie, we’ve been over this. Shelia is my best friend. She’s your godmother and I’m Willow’s godmother, and that makes you god sisters, so yes, you have to stay.”
Tara sighed. The last time she had seen Willow was when she was twelve and Willow was eleven, and Tara hadn’t liked her very much.
“Mom, c’mon, remember the last time she was here? We didn’t get on at all. She doesn’t like me!” Tara almost shouted.
“Honey, she does like you. I spoke to Shelia on the phone this morning, and she said that Willow was very excited about seeing you again.” Her mother said happily.
“But mom, she’s a thief! Last time she was here, she stole my calculator!” Tara shouted.
“Tara, we’ve been over this. She did not steal your calculator. I gave it to her because you never used it.” Her mother replied.
“I was going to use it” Tara said.
“Oh really, when?” Her mother asked.
“Um, right after she left.” Tara replied lamely.
Her mother laughed, kissing her on the forehead before going back into the kitchen to finish making dinner.

“Mom, do I really have to go?” Willow asked.
“Yes Willow, Erica’s expecting to see you.” Her mother replied.
“But mom, I haven’t seen her in years!” Willow moaned.
Shelia sighed and said, “I know honey, but she’s my best friend and she’s your godmother, and now that her and Tara have moved back to Sunnydale we’re going to be seeing a lot more of them.”
Willow sighed in turn, and said sadly, “But mom, Tara doesn’t like me. She hardly spoke to me that time we visited them in Florida, and she seemed so angry when her mom gave me that calculator.”
“Sweetie, you’re just being paranoid. When I spoke to Erica this morning, she said Tara was very excited about seeing you again.” Her mother said.
Willow smiled slightly and asked, “Really?”
Shelia nodded. “Really, now let’s get going or we’re going to be late.”
Willow smiled, and followed her mother to the car,

Tara had finished setting the table, and joined her mother in the living room, waiting for Shelia and Willow to arrive.
“Mom, Willow’s at UC Sunnydale right?” Tara asked.
Erica nodded, “Yeah, why sweetie?”
“Well I was thinking of enrolling, maybe I could take the same subjects I was taking in Florida, and I thought I could ask her about what subjects I’m able to take there.”
Erica smiled and said, “That’s great honey, we’ll ask her when she gets here.”
Tara was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the doorbell ringing.
Tara gulped, suddenly feeling nervous, and followed her mom to the front door.
“Shelia, it’s so good to see you again!” Erica said, as she hugged her friend.
Shelia smiled, and pulled back. “You too, Erica.” She replied.
“Hey Willow, how are you?” Erica asked.
Willow smiled at her and replied, “I’m fine thank you Miss Maclay.”.
Erica laughed slightly and said, “Really Willow, call me Erica.”
She turned to her daughter, “Tara, you remember Willow.”
