Chapter 1
“Hey, okay everyone, remember, just cause this is a vacation doesn’t mean you can run a muck.” A very stern looking woman in about her mid-forties called out to her students.
It was the senior class trip of Sunnydale High School. The seniors were very excited. This year the senior class had decided to go to Sicily, more accurately Palermo. They were even staying in a castle. They were all very excited, none more than the little redhead and her friends. She looked around to see how happy everyone was.
Buffy and Faith were off to the corner and trying to discretely make-out. Xander and Anya were off looking at a suit of armor and Anya could be heard saying, “But I wanna go have sex!”
Willow had to stop herself from laughing at the girl. She had grown to actually like her in these past few years. Of course she would never admit to that.
Then she looked over to the object of her affection. Tara. Tara had stolen Willow’s heart the moment she moved to Sunnydale six years ago. Willow had known that she was gay from a very young age so this didn’t come as a shock to her or to any of her friends. Willow smiled, it had taken a lot of courage and some barrowed backbone but she had finally, after lusting after Tara for three months, gotten the nerve to talk to the girl.
“Hi.” Willow managed to squeak out.
“H-h-hi.” Tara stuttered her response. <‘Damn it’> She silently cursed herself for her stutter. Here was the girl that she had had a massive crush on talking to her and she was stuttering.
“I’m Willow.” With that Willow stuck out her hand to shake Tara’s.
“Tara.” The blonde was happy that she had gotten that out with out problem. She took the redheads hand and shook it.
At the moment their hands touched they felt the magic pass between them. Neither of them wanted to let go of the other’s hand.
That is how it all started. After that Tara was brought into the group. Always known as the Scoobies.
Tara was there to help Willow when she felt unloved because her parents were never there for her, and by there for her she meant in the same state let alone same country.
Willow was there when Tara’s mother died last year just after Tara’s 17th birthday. Since Tara’s father and brother beat Tara, Willow also gave her a place to stay. Tara had moved in with Buffy and Willow on her 18th birthday. Mrs. Summers was like a mother to them all already anyway. She hated seeing how bad things got after Tara’s mother had died, so she was more than happy to except her into her home. Willow was basically living there already, since her parents where never home and Buffy and Mrs. Summers hate her staying in that house all alone.
After there freshmen year of high school Buffy couldn’t she her best friends and girls she looked on like sisters mooning over each other any longer and decided to do something about it. She rented out the Bronze and told both of them to meet her there at 7p.m. When Willow and Tara showed up all they found was an empty Bronze and a note for them from Buffy.
Hey Willow and Tara,
Sorry I had to be sneaky, but
you two are driving us nuts.
Tara you love Willow. Willow you love
Tara. Good now you both know.
So just kiss and become girlfriends already.
Love,
Buffy
Willow and Tara just stood there looking at each other.
“You do?” “Yes.” They both said at the same time and with that they had their first kiss.
It started off slow and built into a fiery passion, with dueling tongues and roaming hands. They have been together ever since that night and that kiss.
Tara was the true love of Willow’s life. She knew that they were soul-mates and would be together forever.
Tara looked up at her wondrous girlfriend. She caught Willow staring at her and could tell that she was having deep Willow-thoughts. She knew how to draw her back to this world. Tara wrapped her arms around the redhead’s waist and pulled her into a soft tender kiss.
“Mmmm. Tara-kissage. Gotta love that.” Willow said when Tara pulled back.
The blonde blushed a little. Then gave her famous lopsided grin that she knew Willow loved so much. “What were you thinking about?”
“Just thinking about you and how lucky I am to have you.” The hacker answered.
“Right back at you, sweetie.” With that she leaned back in for another kiss.
“Cough, cough, cough!” The sound of someone loudly and forcibly coughing brought them back to where they were.
“You two need to get a room.” Buffy joked.
Willow knowing her friend countered. “We will, right after you and Faith do.”
Tara smiled at this. Buffy and Faith were really adventurous. They tend to not care where they are when it came time to tend to their needs.
“Hey Red, don’t be jealous just cause your not getting any.” Faith smirked.
“Hey,” Both the girl yelled. “How do you know what we are or aren’t doing?” Willow shouted out.
All eyes in the main hall turned to look at the redhead and the group of girls around her.
“Honey, you need to keep your voice down.” Tara said gently. The she turned to Faith and smiled. “You also need to ignore Faith. She is just upset that the teacher caught her and Buffy in the corner making-out and won’t let them share a room now.”
With that the two witches walked off leaving the slayers with their mouths left hanging wide open. Before they were out of earshot they heard Buff ask, “How did they know that?”
********
Later that morning they had made it to the middle of the castle and were looking around the library.
Willow was in heaven. She had never seen this many books before in her entire life.
Buffy and Faith were over in the stacks making-out like always. They would do more but the chaperon was hovering around somewhere and they didn’t want to get caught… again.
Xander had found some comic books and was enjoying them. Anya was close by with a book on proper torture methods.
Tara had found a book of poetry by Elizabeth Barrette Browning. She was enjoying the woman’s words. Especially that of her most famous poem; “How do I love thee, let me count the ways…” Every time Tara read these words she thought of Willow. When she looks over, she sees Willow with a thick book in her hands. But, Willow isn’t reading the book she is staring at Tara. The blonde always felt special with the redhead.
Willow wasn’t paying attention to anything but Tara at this moment, so she didn’t see the two class clowns fooling around with the books right above her. Suddenly she heard someone yell, “Watch out!” The next thing she knew everything was going black
