I Wish You Were Here

Postby Artemis85 » Fri Sep 19, 2003 12:32 am

Title: I Wish You Were Here

Author: Artimis85

Rating: I Guess to start it off PG (hey if you know me you know it will get better)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Buffy. Unfortunately they belong to Joss any other characters belong to me.

Setting: Sunnydale, Sr. year of high school.

Note: Although Oz is really cool he never made it to Sunnydale. Chapter one Tara hasn’t arrived yet have no fear she will show up in chapter two.

Thanks: To my beta Grace you rock! (If any mistakes let me know so I can yell at her for it) Also to Lisa for her inspiration and who can forget Alyson and Amber.

Feedback: Oh god …yes please!



Chapter 1: The first day



It was another year at Sunnydale High and all the students were reluctant to start school after a long summer. That is all except a bubbly little red head who had been preparing for this day almost a month in advance. She even did all her summer reading like the good student she was. It was to be her sr. year at Sunnydale High and she just couldn’t wait.

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



It was 6:30 am at the Summers home when Buffy was ever so rudely awoken from her peaceful sleep by a screeching alarm clock.



“Ugh, not yet, I don’t wanna!” Buffy said as she slammed her hand down hard on her alarm clock smashing her sixth alarm clock this year.



She went back to bed for about three entire minutes before her mom came in to make sure she was up for school



“Come on Buffy you are going to be late for school, you don’t want to be late on your first day now do you?”



Buffy whined and protested and she slowly crawled out of bed. She went to get ready for school and then headed downstairs for breakfast and made small talk with her mom. After that Joyce drove Buffy to school and wished her luck on her first day.

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



Xander Harris was a ladies man. Oh yeah he was! He strutted down the halls like he was the stud of all studs. He was on the prowl looking for his next victim when he passed a small group of popular girls... and then tripped over his own feet. The girls all laughed and whispers could be heard of how much of a dork Xander actually was. He quickly stood up and continued to strut down the hall like a prized rooster; when he, looking down, noticed a pair of nicely tanned legs near the water fountain. They were muscular and well... down right amazing. He gazed up the girl’s body and noticed a nicely toned upper body as well. He got to her lips and watched as she sipped water from the fountain and watched as the water slowly fell from her full lips. He was broken from his trance when he heard a familiar voice.



“Hey Buffy.” Said Willow



Xander looked up at the girl at the water fountain and realized he was actually checking out Buffy. He inwardly scolded himself and then took a look again at his friend’s cute butt. Xander smiled and walked over to his two best friends and put his arms around their shoulders. He stood in the middle of them and smiled brightly.



“Good morning ladies, how are my two favorite girls in the world this morning?” Xander said cheerfully.



“Mmm, Xander, hey.” Willow smiled



“Hey Xan.” Buffy replied



The three friends talked a while before the first bell rang and they headed into homeroom together and took their seats and then continued their conversation where it left off.



“So we bronzing it tonight?” questioned Xander.



I’m there” said Buffy.



“How about you Will?” asked Xander.



“Uh, I donno Xander, first night of school and all, we might have homework, or, or outlines to do.” the red head explained.



Buffy and Xander both looked at Willow and shook their heads and smiled. That was Willow for you she always wanted to be ahead of the game, but she needed a little fun in her life.



“ My dear sweet Willow, in all the years I’ve known you, haven’t I taught you anything about having fun, you wont have homework it’s the first day of school and anything we have to outline you can do in study hall, now you have no excuse, start living!” Buffy lectured.



“Ok, ok maybe for a few hours” Willow smiled.



“That a girl.” Xander said and Buffy agreed

Chapter 2 – Bronzin’ it



The three friends all sat down that night and listened to a rocking new band play. They had their usual banter and began to dance the night away. Buffy and Xander were out on the dance floor and Willow was on her way to get herself a drink when she bumped into her friend Brooklyn. She and Brook knew each other from computer class.



“Hey Brooklyn how are you?” Willow said smiling.



“Oh, Willow hey, I’m good actually, you here with friends?” Brooklyn asked.



“Yeah,” Willow pointed back to where her friends were dancing on the floor, “You?”



“Yeah actually one,” Brooklyn smiled wickedly she had a plan. She pointed back to a beautiful blonde girl leaning against a wall bobbing her head to the music and awaiting a drink from her friend .Willow looked over to where Brooklyn had pointed and her jaw dropped. Brooklyn smiled knowing this was going to work out just the way she thought it would.



“Her name is Tara “Brooklyn chimed in.



“Ta-ra.” Willow started to drift off in her own little world.



“Pretty isn’t she?” Brooklyn inquired further.



“Uh huh “Willow snapped out of her trance.



“Why don’t you come over and meet her?” Brooklyn pushed Willow a bit in Tara’s direction.



“Oh, um, I don’t know, what if...” Willow trailed off being practically dragged off by her arm.



Brooklyn pulled Willow along and let her go when she got to Tara. “Hey Tara, this is my friend, Willow.”



“ N-N-Nice to meet you Willow” Tara smiled shyly.



“I’m here with a few friends of mine, you two could come hang out with us” Willow blurted.



“Sure sounds cool, you wanna go Tara?” Brooklyn said.



“S-Sure” Tara looked down her hair cascading over her face.



When Willow saw the shy blonde hiding her face she wanted nothing more then to comfort her, she tried her best to make the girl feel comfortable. So Willow did the only thing she knew how.



“Hey Tara did ya ever hear that joke..? Its goes like this... what goes chomp, chomp …ouch!”



“Hmm I don’t know.” Tara looked up smiling and bit her lip.



“A Vampire with a toothache” Willow chuckled.



As soon as Brooklyn heard this joke she thought her plan would take a turn for the worst. There was no way that corny joke would make Tara laugh. Brooklyn figured Tara would think it was lame and want to just go hang out alone. But much to her surprise Tara burst out into laughter, maybe it was just because the red head was just so cute or maybe it was because she couldn’t stand to have the red head frown or feel slighted. This made Brooklyn smile none the less and they started walking towards Willow’s table. Tara picked her head up and now knew she was going to have a good time tonight she was glad she went out with Brooklyn. Willow also was grateful for Buffy and Xander’s pushiness about going to the Bronze that night.



Willow, Brooklyn and Tara all sat down at the table as the band was leaving and the house music started to play. Xander and Buffy returned to the table and greeted Willow and then Brooklyn.



“Hey Brook, how’s it going.” Xander said waggling his eyebrows.



“Hey guys, so who’s your friend?” Buffy said taking a drink of her water and then turning

her attention to Brooklyn.



“Oh.. H-Hi, I’m Tara.” she smiled nervously.



Willow mentally kicked her self for being so rude. She had forgotten introductions, she was so distracted with looking at the beautiful blonde she forgotten her manners.



“I’m so sorry, Tara this is Buffy and Xander, Xander, Buffy this is Tara and we all know Brook.” Willow said pointing all around the table



After that the group got to the usual chit chat and Willow and Tara went off to the side. Willow initiated the conversation and asked the usual get to know one another type questions ‘ what music are you into ,what kind of movies do you like’ they found that had lots in common. They were laughing and Willow couldn’t stop talking and Tara was intent to listen. Pretty soon the two were getting quite comfy with one another and it was getting late. The two girls didn’t want the night to end before they had to go , willow was the first to ask.



“Um hey Tara, if you don’t mind I was wondering if I could, I donno, have your number so we can hang out some time, I mean like that’s if its ok with you?” Willow said in a fast blur that was barely recognizable.



It seemed like hours that were in reality seconds for her to get her answer from the girl who she hoped one day would be her girl if she played her cards right.



“Of course, I would love to hang out sometime. You can have my number.” Tara said as she grabbed a pen and a scrap of paper from her pack and scribbled her number down.



Willow let the air out of her lungs she had been apparently holding her breath awaiting her answer. She could feel the chill of the room slipping away and she wanted to jump for joy.



"She wants to hang out sometime, oh yes this is too cool.” Willow thought to herself as she watched the other girl scribble her number on the paper.



“Ok cool, so I'll call you sometime, and we’ll make plans?” Willow said with a huge grin walking away with her friends.



"Uh huh sure that’s no problem.” Tara said equally happy as her and Brook walked out the Bronze with the group.



They walked Tara and Brook to their houses and said their good nights, and Buffy walked Willow and then Xander home for the night.



Buffy walked away thinking to her self that she had to get the story on Willow and the shy blonde in school tomorrow. She would get the scoop if no one else would it would be her, “I mean after all what are best friends for?” she said walking in the door just as her phone rang.

:bigwave Hey Lex,

As I pwomised...one update-y goodness coming up!

That joke was extremely corny...but it was so cute-like that Tara found it funny, just shows how much the two of them have in common:)

I love the way they met...i could totally picture Willow asking Tara's number...

Judging by the way Buffy's thoughts when she was walking home, does she already know Willow's gay?

Hope you finish your nasty report soon and update this fic!
