Tara yawned widely. The fresh morning air filled her lungs.

today is a good day

She didnt know why, but Tara Maclay knew that this particular day would be a very good one. She got out of bed and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and windows, and inhaled deeply. She had always been a morning person, and the not entirly up sun had a great affect on her mood. She walked back over to her bed and turned off her alarm which hadnt gone off yet; hummed her way to the bathroom and hopped in the shower.


*across town*


BEEP BEEP BEEP


stop....i dont wanna get up...five more minutes...ARRRG

Willow rolled over with a grunt and slammed her half numb fist on a tweety bird alarm clock.

note to self....learn how to do things by mental comand

with that she rolled over and fell back into a deep sleep.



* on the other side of town....again*



"Omlette du fromage madame kittie...or however you say it..." Tara gave her kitten a big smile to compliment the steaming pile of cheesy eggs that sat infront of her. " and toast!" the kitten gave a small "meow" . "O of course, milk too." The cat purred.

"my poor little kitty...you need a name." she rubbed the kitten's furry head, and they began to eat. After the meal she cleaned the plates and left.



*across town...yet agian*



"damnit!" Willow ran across the room in her dripping wet towel. "gonna be late, gonna be late, gonna be late, run run run!" she chanted this little verse to herself often. CRASH. "ow.... run run run" the pile of clothes and and dresser lay on the floor untoiced. She shoved a spoon of cereal in her mouth as she shoved a leg in her pants. "wrong way...(takes pants off and turns them around) right way." Willow grabbed her keys and ran out the door leaving a pile of messy clothes, a half eaten bowl of cereal, and a trail of water behind her.



Okies...more laters...i gotta go home!

*hopes you likes it!*

*****



"Damn this place is crowded today"

A small blond figure stood in the door way of a nearly full internet caffe.

"yea i know. Its a weekend. This place gets packed on the weekends."

"So when do you get off?"

Tara looked around for a clock.

"fifteen minutes."

"kays."


The short blond was a long time friend of Tara's. They mey during thier sophomore year of highschool at a musical casting. Her name was Buffy Summers. She was a small petite girl with a very outgoing personality. She loved bieng loud, and playfully obnoxious at times. During highschool she was very loud and such, and Tara was rather shy and she kept to herself. They werent the type of people that would hang out together, but they became the best of friends. They bonded over a shared obsession for musical videos, and chocolate, and they from then on, they became inseparable; or so they thought.

After highschool Buffy decided that she wanted to go outside of their small town of Sunnydale, to explore the world a bit. She ended up going to college in Virginia for six years, and then returned to Sunnydale.

Tara on the other hand stayed put, and opened up a small internet caffe to fund her art work and get her along. She had a passion for all forms of art, but she thought that she would give a try at painting, and fell in love with her paint brush and canvas.



"So wanna grab a bite to eat?"

"Sure. What were you thinkin?"

****

"Good afternoon ladies, what can i get you today?" A small pimple faced boy with a name tag labled "Ed" stood behind the counter of "The Pizza Plaza."

"Um yea. Can i get a large slice of veggie deluxe. Extra spinich and olives please."

"Would you like a drink with that Ma'am?"

"Um yea. Do you have Seirra Mist?"

"No. But we have sprite. Would you like that?"

"Um no thanks. Mt. Dew?"

"Sure, and for you miss?"

"Yea...meat slicer, Diet coke."

"OK. Is that all for you ladies?"

"yes."

"yea."

"okay, your total is $13.76"

Buffy started to pull out her wallet, But was met with Tara handing "Ed" a twenty dollar bill.

"Dont worry I got it." Tara gave Buffy a friendly smile.

"Ive got tomorow then."

"youre change is .....$6.24."

Tara went to put her change away when she noticed a slip of paper folded into the five.

"Whats this?" She unfolded the paper and read it.

"Ed" gave her a wink.

"Im reeeeeaaallly not intrested bud."

"oh yes you are." "Ed" gave her a broad smile.

"No im really not."

"and why not?"

"Well for one reason. You have a penis."

Tara and Buffy walked away from the dumbfounded looking boy, hiding a much bottled up laugh.

" That was really gross...he looked like he was fourteen!"

They sat down at the table furthest from the cash register, and each let out a much needed laugh.

"Why are you so *OOO Im not for the meatness*?"

"Because im NOT for the *OOO kill the animals*"

Buffy looked ay her friend, and took a heafty bite of her meat oozing pizza.

"thats really gross, Buff. Think about the poor cow and pig YOU just killed when you eat that greasy slab of junk you call a pizza."

"Oh, but i do. And i thank the pig and cow for bieng so tasty." She gave her friend a broad smile, and was met with a rolling of very large blue eyes.

"So, how's this new caffe of yours? find anyone?"

"Nah. Mostly just a bunch of old geezers sufing for teenage porn"

"O thats great" buffy said sarcastically.

"It must be a real kicker to see all of our friends grandpa's walking around with boners."

"UGH, That really gross, Buff" Tara set down her slice of half eaten pizza, with a disgusted look.

"so you havent found any hot chicks for a game of *creaky bed springs*?"

"Buff....." Tara glared at her friend playfully.

"nah. there is this one girl, but i think shes straight."

"really? you THINK she is or you KNOW she is?"

"T.h.i.n.k."

"you should ask her out"

"NO! No way!"

"why not?"

"cuz....shes....straight."

"but you dont know that. You should start a conversation with her."

"And how do you know that I havent all ready?" Tara gave her friend one of those *dont assume things* look, only to be met with by a *I know you, and you know it* one.

They finished thier meals and threw away thier trash.

"she's a red head isnt she?"

"what?"

"shes a red head. Youve always had a thing for them."

"so what if she is?"

"that means shes probably a cat in the sack."

Tara blushed a vibrant red and hit buffy plafully in the arm. The two friends left the pimply faced, greasy tabled, sticky floored resteraunt with full stomachs and linked arms.

*****

"BUFFY!!!!"

Redhair fell on the bed, shortly followed by a slim pale figure.

"WILLOW!!!!"

Buffy's head popped in the doorway of her house-mate's room.

"where'd you go?"

"lunch. Can I come in?"

"yea dorkness." Willow chuckled and scooted over on the bed.



Willow Rosenberg met Buffy during college, and moved back to Sunnydale with her. They were paired up as dormies, and like Buffy and Tara, bonded over thier odd passions in life.


"ooo find a new guy?"

"nah, one of my old buddies from highschool."

"Oh...I think you need to find a guy."

Buffy laughed. "what for?"

"Creaky bed......bonding and all that other shit couples do."

They both laughed.

"and what about you? You need to find a chick."

"nah. Im happy single. lovin the single life!"

"well...have you found any cute girls round town?"

"not really. All the girls here are straight."

Willow looked at Buffy with a shy smile.

"no...there are some. Take my friend for example, Tara. Shes gay.'

Willow's breath was cut short.

"Whose....Tara?"

"The friend I went to lunch with today. She's gay too...HEY! IDEA!!!! I should introduce you two."

"um..." Willows breath was a bit shaky but Buffy didnt notice.

Come on doofus. There's more than one Tara in this world!

"where does she work?"

"what?"

"Work...Where does she work?"

"O ...she opend up this internet caffe down somewheres"

Oh my god...

Willow didnt hear another word that Buffy said.

Oh my god...she's gay....this means....this means i do have a chance. I have a chance with her....but thats crazy. She doesnt even know you. You dont know her.

"And then the doofus gave her his number. He couldnt have been older than 16..."

But that doesnt matter. You can stop hiding. You can get to know her. Tomorow...talk to her tommorow. Be brave.

"Are you listening?"

"huh? Yea...thats great..."

Tommorow...Note to self: No babbling!


*Across town*


Be brave Tara....talk to her. What can it harm if you just talk to her? Note to self: Talk to redheaded beauty tommorow..maybe get a name?...DO NOT STUTTER!..

Tara layed down on her bed and closed her eyes.

Tommorow

More laters all! Hopes you likes it!

[Tonto]

Ooooh! I really like this fic but I hate that you left it the way that you did!

The pace of this fic is awsome. The dialogue is wonderfully humorous. I kept laughing so hard that it took me twice as long to read it. It is written in a way that is so easy to read.

"Im reeeeeaaallly not intrested bud."
"oh yes you are." "Ed" gave her a broad smile.
"No im really not."
"and why not?"
"Well for one reason. You have a penis."

I love these lines! They are one of the many reasons why the fic is so funny!

At first I was a little confused as to who was speaking because you don't have the conventional "said Tara" kind of lines, until I realized that its better to be unconventional. The story flows better without the unecessary "said Tara" phrases. You can tell who the speaker is by what is being said.

I love the idea that Tara owns an internet cafe. She wasn't exactly a "woohoo with the computers" kind of person so its nice to see her in this type of atmosphere.

Please continue, so I can find out if Tara gets Willow's name and if she stutters.

Update soon please..................pretty please!

[dreamin of my rainbow]

Tonto: Im glad that you like the story so far, and all the dialogue and such. I thought there was far too much dialogue when i wrote it, but i decided to leave it, and the whole *he said she said* tag at the end of the sentence; i thought it rather unnecisary. I think that it really does make it sound to much like a story and it delays the picture that plays in your head. I dont know. i think that it makes the story more continuous with out them. Well i hope you like this next bit. Enjoy!

"So, when did you get here?"


"Excuse me?" Willow looked up from her moniter.


Oh. My. God...


Vibrant blue eyes met her confused and shocked face.

"When did you get here? I havent seen you around here that often. Well. not just HERE but like around town or anything. It's a small town. Everyone knows everyone."

"um...just a few months ago..."

no babbling, no babbling. no babbling.

"Oh. So why did you decide to move here? You didnt like Virginia?"

"Um. One of my friends...my friend...yea she moved here, and so i followed...i...yea" Willow looked down at her keyboard, and sighed.

Youre such a friggin dork....Shut up while you still can

"well. I have a present for you." Tara smiled.


Well she sure is straighforewards..I wonder if shes always.....

Willow's thought was cut short.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

Tara pulled her lips away.

" I'm kinda hoping youre single."

All willow could do was nod.

"Great!" Tara gave a broad smile.

"Then maybe friday..."


BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"What the ffff-"

Willow rolled over and looked at her clock.

"damn...."

She hit the snooze button and retreated back to her lingering dream.

****

"OW!" Tara rubbed her sore shin which just made contact with the corner of her coffe table.

"I should kick you for that!"

Damn coffee table. Wont know whats comin to him. Stupid little piece of..

Tara grumbled her way to the kitchen.

"What to eat? What to eat?"

Tara poked her head in the fridge.

"Apple?,,,,nah.....Eggs? ....nuh uh....Bagel!"

Tara had a knack for cooking, but did it rarely. She had no reason to. She lived alone.

Soon the kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of coffee and creamcheese.

Tara looked at the clock.

"O. Gonna be late."

* 9:45*

****

Tara had a routine that she had to go through every morning at work.

1. Make coffee
2.Vacume
3..Clean bathroom
4. Restock
5. Clean the computers with antivirus, spybot and adaware.
6. Clean the actual computers.
7. Open store.

It had taken her forever to learn how to use these simple programs. She had one of her ex-girlfriends teach her. And when she began running the store and had a routine established, it had taken her two hours to do it. Now that she had, had the store for a while she became accustomed to the routine and only needed to be at the store an hour early.

"Flip the switch, aaaaand were open"

Tara sat at her desk, which faced the door. and the first row of compters, and sipped at her huge mug of coffee.

The store didnt usually get any costumers until 11:30 or so, so Tara walked over to the staff computers at the front and turned it on.

Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

Tara kept beat with the music playing in her head.

Heart broken, Tears of pain. Words unspoken Summer raaiiiin. Failed heart now grandma dies. The babies hurt, Mama cries.

She put in a cd labled "Taras mixz" and put on her headphones.

Youll recieve what life has given. Pain and love and mooooore.

The bell at the door rang but tara didnt notice it. She did a little air guitar move, and banged her head at the air, letting her hair fly everywhich way.

"Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah!!!!"

She felt a small hand on her shoulder and jumped.

"What the freak!"

"OH!...sorry i didnt mean to startle you but...i uh...i walked in and uh...you were here and i needed a computer and i cant use one unless you turn it on but .um you were doing something here and ...uh....sorry."

Willow looked as startled as Tara did.

So much for not babbling like an idiot

Willow mentally slapped herself.

"uh...." Tara looked around with a face as red a cranberry.

An akward silence washed over the both of them.

"Computer?..please?"

"O! r-right um....ju-st turn one on"

"uh...yea...."

Willow walked stiffly to her favourite computer, and turned it on.

They sat in silence until twelve when three other people walked in, and the store had been awoken



more laters all! Hopes you likes it!

Tara clicked the open sign on.

You are soooo friggin lame. You had every chance in the world yesterday, and you totally blew it! So what are you gonna do today?


*five minutes away from the store*


God youre an idiot... you could at least say hello today....

Willow rolled her eyes at herself, and stopped at the red light. She pulled up the the parking lot in front of the strip mall that Tara's store was located.

The bell rang at the door and Tara looked up.

"Um. Hi."

"Hi."

"Can I, uh...use the computer?"

Tara nodded, and clicked on the start button for number 12.

"So...uh you know Buffy?" .

"huh?"

"Buffy Summers. She said she knew you."

"Um yea. I know her."

"Yea...me too."

Willow mentally slapped herself.

DUH!

"um...the computer's ready."

"O...thanks"

Willow had suddnely found that she had a very keen intrest in her shoe laces.

"yea. no problem."

Willow started to walk to her computer.

"Hey."

She spun around.

"um. There's coffee in the back if you want some.."

"yea thanks."

She started to turn her direction.

"O I can get it."

Tara got up.

"Its okay. I can get it."

"No, no. Its no problem. I got it."

"um..okay. thanks"

Willow sat down.

"Sugar?"

"What?....."

"Would you like some sugar?...and creme too?"

"um..yea two sugars one cream."

Tara handed her a steaming cup of coffee.

"thank you." She smiled.

"Thats hot.."

Willow froze.

What did she just say?! My smile is hot?


"excuse me?"

"t-the coffee...its hot"

"o...right. Thanks."

God her smile is beautiful..

Tara started to walk away.

"Im willow by the way."

Tara froze,then slowly turned around.

"um...T-tara"

Willow smiled, and got to work.
