BurningWhiteRose- I love Faith also and, as much as I love the Buffy/Faith dynamic it won't be happening here. I feel it might overshadow what I'm building up to. And no Lex is NOT with Faith.
wimpy0729- Well of course Willow is fire. What else would she be? And I'm glad you like Kris, I thought people would hate her. Now Lex, I know people will hate. (at least for a little) Oh we have a few bumpy times ahead so get ready.
bindingwiccan- Well thank you. And how can you have a story without Faith?
Stroke Of Luck- Yes lots of fun to be had. And Faith is kinda an Avalon. You'll see.
Wired Vixen- Yeah it was alittle tense but all will be fine eventually. Yess Faith is there.
Arwen276- Glad you like. But Faith isn't really the issue here.
noellebrin- No problem dude. And I'm one of your favorites eh? GO ME. Yeah Faith. And you asked the million dollar question: WHO IS LEX? Thank You.
And now the update

Previously...
"Well isn't this just beautiful." a voice called from behind the group.
They all turned to take in the figure. She had long black hair and smoke gray eyes. She wore a black shirt and matching leather pants.
"Oh my Goddess," Willow yelled before flinging her arms around the stranger. "Lex what are you doing here. Wait if you're here, that means..........."
"Hey Red,"
"Faith!"
"What the fuck are you doing here? Where the hell have you been? Don't you know how to use a telephone?" Willow yelled.
"Ah come on Red, how is this fair? She gets a hug and I get yelled at. She hasn't called you either." Faith nearly whined.
"That's easy Faith, she loves me more." Lex grinned wrapping an arm around Willow's waist.
"Oh my, when are you going to get over yourself Lex." Tommo called as he hugged Faith.
"When I stop being so fucking hot." she leered at him. "So, Will, gonna introduce me to the family." Lex gestured towards the group of shell shocked scoobs.
"Oh yeah sure, guys this is Lex our fifth element. Lex this is Xander, Anya, Buffy, Dawn, and Tara." she pointed out each scooby in turn.
"What the hell is she doing here?" Buffy said through gritted teeth glaring at Faith.
"Uh Buff calm down. Faith's cool and she's with us k? I personally promise that she'll be on her best behavior. Isn't that right Faith?" Willow glared at Faith playfully.
"Hell yeah, I still remember the cold shoulder you gave after I beat up that guy in Philly. Anyway I have to obey the rules now. The past is the past and I can't change it but I am sor..." she was interrupted by five Avalon's clearing their throats at the same time. "Oh come on guys I need say this."
"No Faith, we've told you a million times: Never apologize for anything. You had a reason for doing so don't take it back, you can regret it but don't apologize." Kris said in the bored way only she can.
"Yeah Faith, anyway what are two doing here?" Tommo said taking seat on one of the couches pulling Kris onto his lap.
"Well if I'm not mistaken, and I'm not, Willow's birthday is in about a month. So I figured that we'd take a break and come celebrate." she took a seat on the arm of Willow's chair.
"A break, yeah right, from what?" Willow scoffed. "I bet you did something and the cops are after you again."
"Will, we are hurt, can't we just feel the need to come see you." Off Willow's look Lex sighed and gave a real answer. "Ok so we were bored with the chicks in L.A., thought we'd see if you and Kris are ready to take us up on our offer." she sent Kris a scandalous look.
'Is she suggesting what I think? With me sitting right here? Has Willow ever... with... and... OH GODDESS.' Tara thoughts were running a mile a minute. 'How am I supposed to compete with them. I mean look at them, not that I'm looking at them, but I can't wear leather pants like that. Is that why her and Kris are so close?'
"Lex as much as I love you and Kris and Faith, the answer is what it has always been: no." Willow gave an amused chuckle.
"Oh come on Will, it'll be fun. And you can drag along a few of the natives." she gesture towards Buffy and Dawn.
"Lex quit," Willow said nearly doubled over with laughter. "Stop it your scaring Buffy." she pointed out the slayer who was looking a little tense.
"No she isn't." Buffy mumbled which only caused dawn and xander to join Willow's laughter
"My bad dude, I was just kidding. Besides I already have a slayer." she pointed at Faith.
"You don't have shit," Faith yelled playfully.
"Oh really, so you can share Kris' room tonight and I'll bunk with Will." she challenged lightly.
"You all are sick you no that. I don't know why I even bother with any of you." Tommo stood up and pulled Isaac towards the dancefloor.
"Faith, Kris lets go show the fags how it's done." she said as they headed to the dancefloor.
Willow shook her head at them before turning her attention back to Tara who had been quiet for the last couple of minutes. She noticed that Tara wasn't really looking at her and that she kept playing with her fingers. She couldn't pinpoint what had caused the shift in the blondes mood but was sure it was something she had done.
"Hey Tara, you ok." she prodded gently trying to get the blonde to look up at her.
"Uh not really, I don't feel so good. I think I'm going to head out." she replied softly starting to stand.
"Are sure? I can give a ride let me just let the guys know I'm going." Willow jogged to the dancefloor and told the Avalons she was leaving.
Casa de Summers
Twenty minutes later Willow's black BMW pulled up outside the Summers home. The drive had been silent and uncomfortable. Both of them being preoccupied with their thoughts. Tara was trying to processs the appearance of the knew Avalon while Willow tried to figure out what she did wrong.
Willow cut off the engine asking Tara if she would be ok by herself. Tara merely nodded her head before exiting the car.
'What the hell did I do now?'
Avalonian Headquarters
Willow flung herself onto her bed and closed her eyes. 'How the hell did I turn a perfectly good night into such a diaster? Ok Rosenberg let's analyze this: When did the tension begin? After Lex and Faith turned up. Maybe it's Lex that made her uncomfortable. No that can't be it. Maybe it's Faith, but why would that make her upset with me. What am I going to do? Maybe I should give her some space. Yeah space, she'll let me know when she's ready to talk.' She looked at her clock. 'I wonder how long that'll take.'
Casa de Summers
Tara sat on the floor in her bedroom staring into the flame of a candle. It was the extraflamey one Willow had given her so many years ago. 'Ok so what the hell happened? We were all sitting and laughing and then SHE showed up. Why is that upsetting? Well, she's gorgeous, confident, and obviously has a thing for Willow. What does that mean? It means Willow has had the chance to be with not one but three beautiful women on several occaisions. Why is this a problem? Well, why would she want me when she could have anyone of them? What is the real issue here? Can I really trust that hasn't been with any of them. That could've been for my benefit. Why am I being so stupid about this? Because I'm jealous. Is there anyevidence that would call for me to be jealous?... I'm starting to think like Willow. I just have to think about this, but first I need sleep.'
Casa de Summers
It had been 1 week, 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes, 604800 seconds since see had last talked to Willow. During this time she had debated and argued with herself nearly non-stop. She had finally come to the conclusion that she was being silly. Willow would never do anything like cheat on her especially not now. So now she was staring at the phone trying to work up the nerve to call the red head and possibly beg forgiveness. I mean she hadn't said a word to her in a week. Finally she picked the phone and dialed Willow's cell.
"Hello," a voice called on the other end.
"H-hey Willow." 'Oh great now I stutter.'
"Oh hey Tara, what's up?"
"Um I kinda wondering what you were doing tommorow and if you wanted to go somewhere." she said managing not to stutter at all.
"In the morning I'm training with Lex and Isaac but after that I'm free."
"Great I'll see you tommorow Bye."
"Bye Tara."
That wasn't so hard. Now to find something to wear.
Casa de Summers
The doorbell chimed throughout the house as Tara raced down the stairs wondering who it could be. She opened the door to a short girl around Buffy's height with curly brown hair and pretty green eyes.
"Came I help you?" she asked the girl at the door.
"Yeah I was looking for Willow Rosenberg, somebady told me I could find her here." she smiled shyly.
"I'm sorry Willow doesn't live here."
"Oh well if you see her tell her Jessica was looking for her. Thanks anyway." the girl turned, hopped into a red jeep, and left.
Just as Tara closed the door her cell phone begab to ring.
"Hey Tara, I'll be there in 20 minutes to get you." Willow's voice came through the connection.
"Ok. Um Will there was a girl here to see you. She said her name was Jessica."
"Jessica was there?" Willow's voice sounded a little panicked.
"Yeah she just left."
"Tara who else is in the house?"
"No one Buffy and Dawn went shopping. Why?"
"Tara listen closely, I want to lock every door in the house, activate the protection spells, and wait in your room. I'll send somebody for you k? Bye." with that the red head hung up.
Casa de Summers
Tara had did just as Willow said and had now been sitting in her room for 5 minutes. And all of a sudden Isaac and Kris were standing in front of her.
"Tara are you ok?" Isaac asked as Kris rushed out hte door and down the stairs.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little confused." she smiled at him.
"No one's here." Kris re-enterer the room.
"Ok let's get going." Isaac stated reaching hand to Tara. "Tara you're going to blink out with me ok, it going to feel a little strange but it's safe."
"Um Isaac, who's Jessica?"
"Willow's ex-girlfriend." he stated as they blinked out of the room.

, what is their problem?!? Aaarrrggghh! How can Willow not know why Tara was upset, and did Tara not hear the 'my answer is still no' line? Come on ladies! At least Willow's first thought was to protect Tara, and I know all will end well. Trust me, if I didn't like this story so much I wouldn't be getting so worked up about it.
It was kind of heartbreaking.
Please don't leave us hangin' too long, update soon!
