Note: Starts after ‘Who Are You'.















"Tare! Wait up!" Buffy quickly caught up to her best friend. "Did you get the Psyche homework?"



The blond witch gave her friend a large grin. "Yeah." She was already digging through her bag to get it. She waved it mockingly in front of her friend. "Next time, try not to fall asleep." She handed the papers over.



The slayer grinned sheepishly. "Hehe. Yeah."



"So what is it Giles wants to tell us?"



"Don’t know. It involves Faith so…" The petite girl scowled at the name.



"You don’t think Faith broke out of j-jail, do you?" The thought made Tara nervous.



"As I said before. I don’t know. I don’t think that’s it though. If it was, I think Giles’d make it sound more urgent."



"I guess you’re right."



"C’mon, let’s get to class."















"It’s just wrong when Giles is late." Xander looked over to the three girls with him.



"I’m sure he has a good reason." Tara said.



"Either that or his head caught on fire."



"Anya!!!" They all cried in union.



"Hello everyone." The scoobies turned to see Giles. He turned to the ex-vengeance demon. "On fire? Why would that happen to my head?"



Buffy grinned. "So what did take you so long?"



Giles sighed. "I’m only ten minutes late." A pause. "I was settling our visitor in."



"We have a guest?" Xander wasn’t sure whether to be excited or worried.



"…Faith’s sister."



The slayer gaped at him. "A sister."



The watcher began to rub his glasses. "She’s here under observation. The Council wants to make sure that she’s stable."



Buffy sneered. "Unlike her…sister?"



"Yes." He put his glasses back on. "She’s upstairs."



"Is she a little or big sister?" Anya questioned.



Buffy glared. "Does it matter?"



"I said she’s upstairs, Buffy. She can hear you." He turned to Anya. "Younger, by a year."



Nobody knew what to do with this new arrival.











She watched the group from the stairs. They didn’t seem very enthused with her being there. Why would they though? They didn’t get along with Faith. They’re gonna hate me. They’ll send me home.



She began to examine each of them. The small blond, what was her name, Bunny?, was the slayer. What her sister was. She could see a dark haired man, a brunette, and another blond. The latter caught her attention. So beautiful. She tried to clear her head of those thoughts. Bad! I’m being a bad girl! If they knew her thoughts, they’d hate her even more. She couldn’t let them find out.







"Does she know about…vampires?" Tara knew that this was critical.



Giles sighed again. "She’s a witch."



The slayer sneered. "You’ve got to be kidding me!"



Out of the corner of her eye, Tara noticed someone hiding behind the wall. Is that her? She’s…beautiful. Beautiful? What am I thinking? She returned her attention back onto the topic at hand. They couldn’t keep talking about…she didn’t know her name!



"What’s her name?" the blond witch couldn’t even think before she blurted it out.



"Willow. Willow Rosenberg." Giles responded.



"So that’s Faith’s last name." Xander said, full of wonder.



"Guys?" Tara cut in.



"Yeah Tare?" Buffy smiled at her friend.



"She’s here." Tara paused. "Watching us."



They all turned to where Tara was looking. The figure quickly vanished. Giles called out to her. "Willow, it’s okay!" She came back.



Now that Tara could see her, she knew that the redhead was indeed beautiful. She couldn’t take her eyes off her. And their eyes met. She almost wished they hadn’t. The girl’s eyes had been large and frightened. And haunted. She thought. Can’t forget haunted.

Hmmm... that's kind of cool... Willow is Faith's sister? This could be good.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[sam darls]

Ooh, I like this so far..and as for Willow being Faith's sister..hehe..and the Tara and Willow attraction is instant..yay . Love sammi xx

[justin]

That was an interesting start to the story.



I like the idea of Willow being Faith's sister.

Awww Im loving this fic already! I feel really sorry for Willow, the others shouldnt judge her by her sister. but Tara's already looking out for her, so Im happy!

Please update soon, I want to see how they interact now that they both realise theyre attracted to the other.

[Storm]

Interesting, very interesting. Willow beeing Faith's sister. Can't wait to see where it goes. Nice start.

[LostWithoutTara]

Intriguing start!



The idea that Willow is Faith's sister is fascinating. I look forward to seeing how this develops.

Every time you walk away, I pretend that I'm okay

[sabina]

This was a very good start



You got to love the way Tara always protects Willow, even if she doesn't know the redhead



I'm curious to know what is going to happen next



Update soon?

Chapter Two

Now that Tara could see her, she knew that the redhead was indeed beautiful. She couldn’t take her eyes off her. And their eyes met. She almost wished they hadn’t. The girl’s eyes had been large and frightened. And haunted. She thought. Can’t forget haunted.



The girl standing in front of her was a petite, thin redhead. She should eat more. She was also quite pale. She stood in the corner, in an oversized sweater, desperately trying to blend in with the wall.



It wasn’t working. She was the one thing in the room that was worth looking at. Though to Tara, she was thinking something completely different from the others. The room was silent, no one spoke.



"I-I…maybe I should…sorry." The redhead struggled to get the words out.



Tara’s heart went out to the girl right then, if not earlier. "Hi." She walked forward and held a hand out to the witch.



The girl looked away and ignored the hand. "Hello." She wouldn’t look any of them in the eyes.



"I’m Tara." The hand still waited. Finally, the redhead gave in and took it. The other girl’s hand was small. They released. Her hand tingled form the touch. She hoped no one else had noticed her reaction.



"Xander. Nice to meet you."



"I’m Anya."



Buffy appeared to be sizing the girl up. It worried the blond witch that the slayer would take her grudge on Faith out on Willow. Tara sent her friend a pleading look. Thankfully, Buffy took the hint. "I’m Buffy."



"I know." a pause. "Mr. Giles." She received a look from him. "Err…Giles." A pause. "He told me about you. In a good way, I mean. Not that he would say anything bad about you and even if he did it certainly wouldn’t be to me and I’m shutting up now."



Buffy smiled at her. "You and Faith really are sisters?" She turned to Giles. "I think you made a mistake. She and Faith are nothing alike."



The redhead blushed. "Faith isn’t that bad." The room became silent.



"I say we should have a girl’s night!" Any chirped. "You, me, Buffy, and Tara. What do you guys think?"



Tara smiled at the ex-vengeance demon. "I think that’s a good idea. Buffy?"



The slayer grunted a sound that sounded something like a yes.











The four girls sat in Buffy’s living room. "Mom said that when she cam home she’d try to stay out of the way."



Anya turned to face the shy redhead. "So, tell us about yourself." Willow tried to find a way out of the question.



Tara decided to help out. "How long have you been practicing?"



The redheaded witch blushed. "Years." A pause. "You?"



"Since I was seventeen. We had this issue with An…a vampire and well…"



Anya piped up. "He was Buffy’s boyfriend." The girl in question glared at the ex demon.



"You d-don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to."



"So do you have a boyfriend?" Any was definitely being a bit too chipper. "If you don’t, Xander’s mine. You can’t have him."



The redhead looked like she wanted to disappear. Tara decided it was intervention time. "You don’t have to tell us."







Willow smiled gratefully at the blond witch. I’m surrounded by blondes. There was only one she was interested in though. I’m definitely crushing here. Okay Rosenberg, keep it together. All you have to do is avoid any questions based on having boyfriends and on anything else about you. She snuck another look at the other witch. Definitely crushing.





Anya hadn’t spent a thousand years as a vengeance demon for nothing. She could tell when someone was interested, and the Willow girl was definitely interested in Tara. Now the question is, do I open my mouth or not? It was tempting, but in the end, she decided not too. And they say I have no tact!

[justin]

this is a great story. You've really caught the different characters very well.



Though I was a little surprised when Anya chose to be tactful at the end



Looking forward to reading more.

Chapter Three



























Disclaimer: I own Buffy in no way.



Summary: AU: This is another one of those fics where instead of Willow who’s lived in Sunnydale her whole life, it was Tara. Willow is brought to town for a specific reason and the two meet. Enjoy!

"Faith?"



"What Red?"



"I…"



"Yeah?"



"I don’t think I’m normal."



"Who is?" a pause. "We certainly aren’t."



"I know but…" a pause. "I don’t really…"



"You’re gay, right? Is that what you wanted to tell me?"



A thirteen-year-old Willow looked up at her sister horrified.



"What? You thought I’d hate you or somethin’?"



"Yeah." A pause. "How’d you know?"



"I’ve seen you checking girls out."



"You…you won’t tell will you?"



"Never."





Willow awoke in a strange place. And panicked. Then she remembered where she was. Buffy’s house. She looked over to the other three girls. She left the room.











Tara woke up feeling nice and refreshed. She looked over to find the redhead. Her sleeping bag was empty. She waited five minutes. Still no sign of the other girl. "Buff. Buffy, wake up."



"What is it Tare?" The slayer was not happy about being woken.



"She’s gone."



"Who?"



"Willow."



With that said, the slayer immediately popped out of bed. "She’s what?!" Tara had to wince at that.



"What’s going on?" Buffy’s yelling had woken Anya up.



"Willow’s gone." The ex vengeance demon noted the note of worry in the witch’s voice.











It felt good to get away from prying eyes. The only one of them that she even wanted to be around was Tara. She smiled just thinking the name. There’s no way she’d like someone like me though. Even if she did like girls…



The red haired Wiccan was getting a feel for the town. Not that there was much town. It’s so clean. It was nothing like were she grew up.



I wonder what Faith’s favorite part of town was. She chuckled. Probably some club. She missed her sister.







Xander saw her. She was simply walking around, taking in the town. He ran up to her. "Hey there!" The girl jumped.



"H-hey."



"I thought you and the gals were doing the slumber party thing." He grinned.



"I…I wanted to take a walk."



"Well, in Sunnydale that may not be the best idea." He noticed the look she was giving him. "Demons. They’re everywhere." A pause. "Do they know you left?"



She gave him a sheepish look. "Not exactly."



"I get it. The girls were being a bit to prying weren’t they?" She nodded. "Do you know anything about computers? I have this outline for work I have to make and well, I’m having some problems with the computer. I’d ask Tare but, she’s not that great with them. Out of us she’s the best but…" He watched as a grin grew on her face.



"Sure!" a pause. "I mean, I’d love to! I’m great at computers." It was obvious that this was one of the few things she was proud of.



"Thanks."











The three girls shuffled into Xander’s house. They were hoping that maybe he’d run into the missing girl earlier. As they came down the stairs, they saw him and the girl in question sitting at the table, using Tara’s computer.



"Willow!" The redhead jumped when she heard the slayer’s voice.



"B-Buffy!" Her voice squeaked.



"Where did you go? You can’t just run off!"



Tara placed a hand on her friend’s shoulder. "Don’t be too hard on her." Anya’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the blond Wicca.



"I j-j-just needed to take a walk." The redhead was nervous. They all could tell.



"Hey Buff, give the girl a break! She’s helping me with a project for work. The girl’s a computer whiz!" he joked.



The redhead looked down. "Sorry."



Tara looked the other girl in the eyes. "Don’t be."

Tara:"Until I realized that was her yummy face"

Willow: "There's something between us. It-it wasn't something I was looking for. It's just powerful."

[Draco119]

Hey DarkChild. Thanks for the warm welcome. I wanted to say that I am loving this fic! I thought the part when Willow made the comment about being surrounded by blondes was hilarious. It's really nice to see how quickly Xander became friendly with Willow, asking for her help with the computer work. I'm loving Anya. She always seems to notice the sparks even before Willow and Tara do. Keep up the great work. I hope to more soon.

[sam darls]

The redhead looked down. “Sorry.”

        Tara looked the other girl in the eyes. “Don’t be.”





       





Willow was happier than she’d been in a long time. Even if Tara didn’t like her like her, she still liked her. And that counted for something didn’t it?

        As long as none of these…Scoobies…found out about her, everything would be fine. I’ll just keep telling myself that. They’ll find out sooner or later…

       







“So, what kind of spells do you usually do?” Tara could see that the redhead had momentarily zoned out of their conversation. Despite what Buffy thought, she was growing to like the other girl more and more. Maybe a little to much… The blond quickly shooed the thought away. Let’s find out a bit more about Miss Rosenberg here. “What’re your parents like?”

        With that simple question, she watched as the redhead’s entire body froze up. “I sh-should go…” The girl quickly made a move to leave. The blond wouldn’t allow that. Her hand shot out and grasped onto the other girl’s arm.

        Tara felt her entire body heat up from the contact but ignored it. Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about those feelings. There were more important things to think about. Willow was more important.

       

“Don’t go.” With those words, the redhead silently moved back to her spot on Tara’s bed. “Did I say something wrong?” Obviously you did you dolt! There’s no need to ask. “I get it. Don’t get along with the folks huh?”

        “Something like that.”

        The blond could see that that was the end of the subject. New subject! Need a new subject! “So what kind of books do you read?” Dork!

        A smile brightened the other girl’s face. “Every kind! All of them!” Willow smile was contagious. She found herself smiling.

        “Wow. I myself am a fantasy gal.”

        “Neat! Have you read ‘Narnia’?”

        “Yeah! What’s your favorite book?”

        “Let’s see…I could never pick!” Both girl’s burst into laughter. “I should probably go now. I’m late meeting Giles as it is. He’ll end up thinking I’ve gone rogue.”

        “See you.” As she got up, the redhead laid a quick kiss on her forehead. She never saw Tara’s hand reach to caress the spot.









        Tara walked into the kitchen to find her mother working on dinner. “Mom…”

        “Yes sweetie?” Her mother’s blond curls bounced as she turned around.

        “You know Willow.” Her mother nodded. “Well…I think I may like her.” Another nod. “I mean really like her. As in like her like her.” A pause. “Mom, say something.”

        “You think I’ surprised? I’ve known for a while.”

        “How? I wasn’t…you know…before I met Willow.”

        “You were, you just never acknowledged it. Besides, you don’t think I never noticed where your eyes kept going?” Tara went bright red. “Does she know?”

        Tara shook her head. “No. I don’t know if she feels the same way.”

        “There’s only one way to find out. Take your time.”

        The blond with glowed from eye to eye. “Thanks Mom.”

[Grimlock72]

What strikes me is that Willow is so much more shy in this story. Reminds me of Willow from _Wellcome to the Hellmouth_ (start of season1). She seems smaller somehow, poor girl needs a huge amount of (well deserved) self-respect... appearantly nobody bothered to give self-confidence much. Idiot parents .



This story start near _This Years Girl_, I assume this Tara didn't mean any special witch at the Wicca meeting then ?? Well at least they can get together with the excuse of studying spells and all, heh. Willow says she's been practicing for years, thats much like Tara in the 'regular' storyline... however Tara had guidance from her mother. For some reason I doubt Willow had much proper guidance in much of anything, never mind magics... should be interesting how and with who she has practiced all those years then.



Still wondering what the title of this story is referring too, probably me being to impatient :-).

Tara couldn’t look Buffy in the eyes as the two of them walked to the Expresso Pump. Not with her new feelings. Not with her knowing how the slayer felt about the redhead.



"Hey, Tare, is something bothering you?"



Damn! She noticed. "N-n-not r-r-really Buffy." A pause. "Everything’s f-f-fine. Don’t w-w-worry."



"A stuttering Tara isn’t a happy Tara." Buffy stopped walking. "So, what’s on your mind? C’mon Tare, you can tell me."



The blond witch could feel the heat rising to her face. I can’t. I just can’t. "Really, it’s n-nothing."



Buffy eyed her friend but decided to let the matter slide. For the moment anyway.











The redhead practically danced down the street. She had gotten to spend quality time with the object of her affections. And the girl didn’t seem to see her like everyone else. In fact, her crush seemed to like her.



She just wished that Faith was there. Faith had never been the best person to come to for advice, but she was all that Willow had. It was just the two of them. She was the only person that could be trusted until now.



What ifs were no good though. The two of them had been down that road too many times.



The Wiccan sighed and continued down the street.











Xander gave Buffy a big smile. "Hey Buffster! What brings ya to this neck of the basement?!" He laughed.



"I’m worried about Tara."



Now that he hadn’t been expecting. "Why? Tare seems fine."



"It’s just…" The slayer sighed. "It seems like there’s something bothering her. She won’t tell me though."



"It’s probably nothing big."



"I asked her and she stuttered."



Xander ‘s face darkened. "Oh."



"What’s going on?" Into the room came Anya. "Xander, what’s Buffy doing here? I thought we were going to have some orgasm time." Both slayer and boy sighed. Anya was just Anya.



Buffy was the one that spoke. "Something’s wrong with Tara. She won’t talk to me though." A smirk appeared on the ex-demon’s face. "What?"



Anya grinned. "So she finally realized it huh?"



Xander looked at her questioningly. "What do you mean."



His girlfriend sighed. "That she’s in love with Willow." The room became dead quiet.

[willowsgirl]

Yay its back!!

I really liked this fic when it was around about a month ago, as its something a bit different from the uaual willow/tara fic formula. I just love shy Willow, awwww

This update was great, its a shame tara feels she cant tell buffy, but I can understand why. But the ending was just brilliant-classic anya!

Now I cant wait to see how Buffy and Xander react

More soon please???
