without further ado....
The scene opens at the bronze. Tara and Anya are sitting at a table together – each with a cup in hand. Camera follows Anya’s POV and settles on Willow and Xander dancing together on the dance floor.
Anya: Do you ever worry about them?
Tara: Whh….what do you mean, worry? I sometimes worry that Willow uses too much magic, that she doesn’….. (gets interrupted)
Anya: That’s not what I mean – do you worry about them (gestures towards the dancing duo) You know that they might be more than just friends? I mean look at them… there is something there, something more than friendship.
Tara: They have been friends forever – they’re just very close.
Anya: They’ve been more than just friends. She’s the whole reason I ended up getting stuck here in the first place – her lips.
Tara: Whh…what do you mean?
Anya: When they were in high school, Xander was dating Cordelia and Willow was dating Oz, but Xander and Willow were seeing each other as well. Cordelia and Oz caught them together – in a together sense and she and Xander ended up breaking up. She wanted vengeance, she made a wish, I granted it, it was a fun wish, ohhh the power of the wish…
Tara: They were too…together. But in college Willow and Oz were together?
Anya: Right, Oz and Willow broke up, but ended up getting back together. Come to think of it even in the wish reality they were together.
Tara: They were? Oh. Probably because they have a strong connection to one another, friends, especially life long friends can have that kind of connection.
Anya: Right, a connection sure. I’m sure that’s it and that is has nothing at all to do with liking the shape of each other’s body.
Tara: You think they pay attention to the shapes?
Just then both Xander and Willow – hand in hand return to the table
Xander: So what’d we miss out on? What are you two chattin’ about?
Tara looks nervous and awkward – she avoided Willows eye contact when Willow sits next to her and takes her hand in hers. This does not go un-noticed by Willow.
Tara: Nothing… really.
Anya: Just how you two seem to enjoy each other’s shape. (Tara looks down at the table )
Xander: Whating each other’s what? Run that by me again?
Willow: Tara? Is that what you think? ( said more out of concern then hurt. Tara withdraws her hand from Willow’s)
Tara: I should…. I should go… I’m not feeling too well.
And with that she leaves the table, leaves the bronze and leaves a look of anguish and worry on Willow’s face.
Willow: Thank’s a lot Anya. Why did you have to go and get her all upset? There is nothing going on between Xander and I but friendship, you know that.
Anya: Do I? Do you for that matter?
Willow: What do you mean “do I?” Of course “I” do.
Anya: Denial – its expected.
Willow: Denial – I am not in denial. I am not one who hails from denial land ok.
Xander: An.. what is this all about? What’s going on?
Anya: I see the way you two look at each other, all gogglely eyed. It doesn’t go un-noticed.
Xander: great gogglely moggely, what are you talking about. I don’t goggle Will.
Anya: Right just like her lips weren’t the cause for your break up with Cordelia.
Willow: Cordelia – that was a long time ago, I would never hurt Tara like tha-
Anya: the way you hurt Oz.
Willow: that’s not what I was going to say, and I didn’t mean to hurt Oz, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I’m very seldom naughty.
Anya: Right and since you didn’t “mean” to hurt anyone that makes everything all right.
Xander: Whoo An back off for a minute will you. Will and I are not going to fluke again – we’re not. There is nothing to worry about.
Anya: Right I’m sure you gave Cordelia the same assurances. She told me that she noticed something between you two, that it had always been there.
Xander: She was hurting at the time – not really in a sound frame of mind, she –
Anya: Gee and I wonder who’s to blame for that?! (gives incriminating glares to both Willow and Xander)
Willow: I have to go …… I have to find Tara. (Willow leaves the bronze)
Scene fades on frame of Xander and Anya watching after Willow as she hurriedly exits the bronze)
Cut to: Willow exiting the bronze. She stops and looks around trying to find some trace of Tara. Off in the distance she believes she recognizes Tara’s form.
Willow: Tara…. Tara baby, Tara please stop. (With this plead the shadow in the distance stops advancing – but doesn’t not turn around. Willow catches up to where Tara now stands. Tara has her head down, refusing to make eye contact. Willow takes Tara’s hand in her own.) Baby, I’m not sure of what Anya said, but I am sure that you have nothing to worry about. Xander may be my best friend ….. but you (she takes her other hand, gently places it under Tara’s chin and gingerly raises Tara’s face to face her own) you… you’re my everything….. you’re my always. And I would never hurt you….. I would never leave you. You’re the best thing in my life…. You are my life. Please don’t ever doubt that. Tara – I love you. (all the sincerity in the world was captured in those last three words and in the fear accompanied in the voice that little more than whispered them.)
With this a smile appears on Tara’s face – their eyes lock, their hearts melt and all is forgiven and forgotten.
Tara: I love you too, I’ll love you always. (At this Tara gingerly tucks a stay strand of hair behind Willow’s ear. Their eyes lock again, their hearts begin pounding more furious but in perfect rhythm to one another – they kiss – tenderly – shyly at first – but with each passing second the kiss’ force builds – Willow rests her hands on the small of Tara’s back and uses her new handle to pull Tara in closer and tighter to her own form. Suddenly a wolf whistle is heard and the two slowly break apart to trace the location of the sound.
Willow: maybe we should…..
Tara: Maybe we should go home (Tara now takes the initiative and intertwines her fingers with those of Willow)
The two begin walking toward home – hand in hand and heart in heart.
Fade to black.
Interior – The Summer’s Home. Setting – Living Room. Buffy is seen sitting on the couch reading what appears to be an old book of pros.
Buffy: (squinting her eyes – hoping that it might help her better understand what she is reading) Well it certainly isn’t an arm in a box (she sighed. She gives up and placed the book down on the unoccupied end of the couch) Oh well it’s the thought that counts. (Just then she remembers something – something that he wrote in the book – or at least she thinks he did – she quickly grabs the book off the couch and leafs through it – seeing if it is in fact there – that one word – that one word that means everything). Always – (a smile appears on her face as she remembers – and as if to verify its realness she gently traces her finger of the lettering of the word – over his lettering. Just then Willow and Tara can be heard upstairs – giggling and other various sounds – Buffy giggles and blushes. She focuses her attention back to the book cradled gently in her hands). If only we had been so lucky – if only we had gotten a second chance – if only. ( it was at the sound of this last word that the littlest of Summer’s came bounding into the room – unnoticed by her sister).
Dawn: (blops down on the other end of the sofa – sipping a soda) It’s great that Tara and Willow are back together isn’t it (she said beaming with a perma grin)
Buffy: huh – what (looks up from the book) Oh Dawn – yeah Willow and Tara its great – (once again giggles are heard from upstairs) It is very much of the good (Buffy seems to have finally returned back to this plane and much to Dawn’s satisfaction this conversation). I think they are pretty happy about it too – (motioning upstairs and begins blushing again).
Dawn: Oh I would say that they are MORE than just HAPPY ( Dawn grins at her sly suggestion)
Buffy: Dawn!!!! (Buffy admonishes once she gets the full meaning of Dawn’s comment).
Dawn: What I do have ears you know? Their Bedroom is only a door or two away – and it’s not like they are all that quiet.
Buffy: (deciding she needs not to know this, but also deciding that fighting with Dawn about her observations would be a waste of time she decides to do something unexpected). Well you know pillow fights can be very loud – and possibly mistaken for other things.
Dawn: (not amused) Right Pillow Fights – and Spike built the buffy bot to play checkers with – sure un huh (rolls her eyes)
Buffy: I thought we promised never to mention the bot again (reaches in back of her coyly and grips her pillow). Checkers – you would have thought Tara would have been able to come up with something slightly more convincing then checkers.
Dawn: More convincing then checkers – like what chess – please. (Dawn pushes Buffy’s elbow – still unaware of her sister’s new weapon – hidden behind her back). Oh and a pillow fight and their pillow fights are quite different.
Buffy: Oh really – says who and when do you get soo knowing all of the sudden.
Dawn: It common sense Buffy – I am a teenager I do go to high school – you know that place where people date each other and have sex and sometimes take in a class – remember the place?
Buffy: remember it – I blew it up – almost died there on many an occasion – I can’t forget it – ever – unfortunately. And as for the dating and sex thing – not EVERYONE does that.
Dawn: Not everyone does the taking in class thing either – yet I didn’t hear you bringing that up. So you are honestly going to tell me that you and Willow and Xander didn’t have any sex during the course of your high school career?
Buffy: (speechless and defeated – she couldn’t lie – she sooo did not want to tell the truth – her only recourse – pillow fight. She swung the pillow – throwp – direct hit).
Dawn: Hey no fair (using her arms as a shield) There aren’t any pillows on this side of the Couch – Pillow Hog.
Buffy: Pillow Hog huh – well see I was about to give you something to defend yourself with – but if you’re gonna start name callings – well then I guess your just have to fend for yourself. (throwp – throwp – throwp – giggles and screams and grunts could be heard from both girls)
Dawn: Fine …. If ,,,,, that …… is ….. how …… you ….. want ….. to …… play (all this time still using her arms as a shield as well as trying to pry the pillow from Buffy’s grasp). SEX – SEX – SEX – SEX –SEX WITH BOYS – SEX WITH GIRLS – SEX – SEX – SEX (she began screaming at the top of her lungs).
Buffy: (taken quite aback from Dawn’s secret weapon) ACK!!! DAWN!!!! (But the moment or two of utter dread that her sister yelling the s-e-x word was all it took – in that moment – when Buffy was not longer concentrated on the pillow fight on hand – Dawn captured to pillow and had now turned it against its previous wielder). HEY no fair.
Dawn: Nothing is fair in pillow fights – SEX SEX SEX – ( she pronounced each more loudly with ever wallop she gave Buffy)
Buffy: (deciding she didn’t need a pillow to win this fight – and quite certain she didn’t ever want to hear her sister say the s-e-x word ever again – decided to turn the tables back to where they belonged. She managed to dodge the pillow – and in one graceful move she jumped Dawn and sent them both spiraling to the floor – she used her body to shield Dawn from the fall’s impact – then she flipped Dawn over and pinned her to the floor – snaring both of Dawn’s hands and holding them captive with one of her own hands positioned above Dawn’s head). Hah – I win J
Dawn: No far – using slayer strength – that’s cheating
Buffy: no more so then using that word to throw me off my game – that word is like big sister kryptonite – soo not fair to use it and I am pretty sure illegal in at least 30 states.
Dawn: hmmm what word could that be could it be se……. (before Dawn could scream the word once more Buffy decided that she had to stop it – so she used her free hand to make a tickle attack on Dawn – mission successful – the air was filled with high pitched squealing and laughter and cries for it to stop).
Buffy: What’s the magic phrase --- come on you know you know it
Dawn : se ----- ackkkk Buffy stop – stop I’m gonna pee my pants – ackkk
Buffy: That is soo not the magic word – you know what it is and since you tried to pull that little stunt again – the abridged version is no longer acceptable – I want the complete phrase.
Dawn: Never – I will never give up – I will never surrender
Buffy: Never huh? Never say never – (just then Buffy stepped up her tickle assault and reduced Dawn to much gibberish and squirming and squealing.
Dawn: ok ok – Buffy – I’ll say it just stop please stop
Buffy: ok but no funny business missy (she stopped her assault) well lets hear it
Dawn: Oh wonderous – wonderful Buffy – she who is the fairest and the chosen one and a princess – I am but your slave and can never compare to your beauty and charm – echk
Buffy: what was that?
Dawn: ahhh nothing – must be a dust ball from the carpet – where was I right – your beauty and charm – you are magnificent and humble and the best of everything – is that good enough?
Buffy: well you forgot loved and wanted by all – but I guess it will do ----- for now. ( she stood up and offered her hand to Dawn – she helped dawn up and they both smoothed out their clothing and respective hair). So what have we learned today?
Dawn: That slayers cheat
Buffy: what was that?
Dawn: That sister time can’t be beat J
Buffy: that’s what I thought you said. (Just then two figures came down the stairs. Willow and Tara entered the living room – fingers entwined – faces blushed – and googley going full force)
Willow: Hey there – Tara and I heard some noise and wanted to make sure everyone was A.O.K.
Buffy: What kind of noise? Can you describe it.
Tara: well it was loud – there was giggling – and then squealing and grunting and (just then Tara realized what else those noises could be and blushed and stopped explaining)
Dawn: are you sure you weren’t just hearing you? (at this Buffy caste her an admonishing look – this comment made both Tara and Willow blush and look to one another and smile big goofy grins)
Tara: wh… wha… what do you mean?
Dawn: oh nothing just thought you and Willow might be playing checkers or something upstairs – (the true meaning of this comment did not go unnoticed by Buffy – but left Willow and Tara very confused).
Willow: checkers????
Buffy: Or chess (buffy couldn’t resist joining in the fun – Dawn, who was expecting to get chastised for her checkers comment beamed and giggled at Buffy’s addition to the inside joke).
Tara: The only game I think we have upstairs is Boggle
Dawn: oh our mistake – hey Buffy do you want go get some ice cream?
Buffy: Sure – that sounds great – I worked up an appetite
Willow: Speaking of food I’m kind of hungry too – you want something to eat Baby
Tara: yeah I could go for some food
Dawn: gee wonder why ( dawn whispered to Buffy – both Sisters giggled – once again leaving the two lovers completely confused).
Buffy: great ice cream it is – (they all gathered their coats – Willow and Tara left fist – quickly followed by Buffy and Dawn).
Buffy: See I told you a pillow fight can sound just like that
Dawn: well not just like that – but I will admit it can sound similar
(Just then the door closes behind the Summers girls).
