Eighth Grade Discoveries

[Artemis]

This is such an adorable story! Especially Willow's Power-Point declaration of love - the idea seems like it'd be kind of dorky, but it was so sweet, the words Willow chose, and then finishing with 'now turn around', and being there with the rose... aww I'm not in the habit of swooning, but if I were, that would've done it



May I please host this story on Through the Looking-glass ( alia.customer.netspace.net.au/glass.htm )? If you'd like an email address with it, let me know at alia@netspace.net.au, if not that's fine, let me know here. I very much hope you'll a) say yes, and b) update soon! I'm dying to find out what outfit Willow's bought Tara.

Hey ppl. I’m sorry it’s taken me forever to update but I have no computer at my mom’s and when I’m with my dad I’m hardly home. I have computer class this semester so when we’re not doing projects I’ll try to update as much as I can, I can’t guarantee that it’ll be often but maybe faster than a month or two. Well enjoy!









They arrive at Tara’s house. “Willow, now it’s your turn to wait a few minutes, I have to clean up my room a little. I wasn’t exactly expecting to have company tonight.”



“That’s okay, I wasn’t expecting to be company.”



“It was a nice surprise though. You can wait in the living room.”



“Okay.” Tara gives Willow a kiss on the cheek and goes to her room. She starts cleaning it up, making it look decent.



Meanwhile, downstairs in the living room Alex and Donnie have a talk with Willow.



“So, Willow, I hear you and Tara are together” says Alex.



“Yes, we are sir.” Say Willow getting nervous.



“Please call Alex. Now how serious are you about her?”



“I…I love her.”



“You do know if you hurt her I’ll hurt you right? I don’t care if you’re a girl.” Says Donnie.



Willow gulps, “I would never hurt her.”



“That’s what they all say.”



“Donnie, calm down, Willow, did you know that I’m not Tara, nor Donnie’s biological father?” asks Alex.



“Yes, she told me Mr….?”



“Rodriguez.”



“Mr. Rodriguez.”



“Did she tell you why her parents divorced?”



“Yes, she said that her father had become abusive and didn’t want her.”



“Abusive doesn’t even begin to describe that son of a…”



“Donnie that’s enough”



“Sorry Al, it’s just. God I hate him. After how he treated mom”



“I know just try to calm down please.” Alex turns to face Willow, “Willow, you seem like a nice girl. Try not to hurt my Tara okay?”



“Or else…”



“Like I said before, I don’t wanna hurt her, I want her to be happy.”



“ Good. You know, you’re lucky you’re not a boy because if you were I’d be giving you another warning.”



“Yeah, I guess that’s something you’ll never have to worry about huh?”



“Yes. Do your parents know about you and Tara?”



“Ha, no…They aren’t exactly ‘gay-friendly’ but I do plan on telling them.”



“When?”



“I don’t know…in a decade maybe? hehe.”



“Are you afraid they’ll disown you?”



“Yea, I guess.”



“Well you’ll always have a place with us.”



“Thank you Mr. Rodriguez.”



“No problem, you make Tara happy. Even after it’s over you’ll have a place with us.”



“That’s very nice of you” Says Willow just as Tara enters the room.



“What were you guys talking about?” Asks Tara as she sits next to Willow and takes her hand.



“Willow was just telling us about the movie you girls saw.” Says Alex



“Oh, well are you done telling them?”



“Yea, finished just before you got here” says Willow.



“Good, c’mon then let’s go to my room.” They get up and walk to Tara’s room hand in hand



“Love the posters.” Says Willow as they enter the room. Tara has up posters of Hilary Duff, Simple Plan, Avril Lavienge, Leny Kavitz and Gwen Stefani.



“Thanks”



“I wish my room was this cool, it’s so….blah…”



“I could help you redecorate it someday. I have extra posters you might like and my dad could probably get us paint and stuff.”



“That’d be cool…so, when’s Faith getting here tomorrow?”



“Around noon. Dad and Donnie are going to go pick her up. When they get back we, Faith and I, were planning on going downtown to Gameworks the walk around Shoreline Village.”



“Oh, cool…wait, does Faith know I’ll be with you guys?”



“No but I’m sure she won’t mind.”



“Ok, just making sure.”



“Don’t worry…well, actually do but not too much.”



“Why?”



“Well, Faith tends to be a bit…ok, no….a lot over protective of me.”



“How much is a lot?” asks Willow nervously.



“Well, she’ll probably threaten you, but don’t worry, she won’t actually do anything.”



“Oh, good to know.”



“That is, as long as you don’t hurt me…”



“What? Me hurt you? I wouldn’t be capable of that even if I wanted to…not that I do cuz u wouldn’t, it wouldn’t be right I mean, come on, I love you, why would I hurt you?”



“I know, try convincing her, she’s harder.”



“Well, will you help me with the convincing part?”



“Of course. It’s getting late, we should go to bed.”



“Really? What time is it?”



“Almost midnight.”



“Oh wow…that is late”



“You could wear a pair of my shirts and a t-shirt to sleep in.”



“Cool, I’m gonna sleep in your clothes.”



“And in my bed.”



“Oh really? Are you ok with that? I mean, we just started going out today and I wouldn’t want you to be uncomf-y or anything.”



“Willow, I want you to sleep with me…I mean in my bed with me…I mean…well, you know what I mean. But if you don’t want to…”



“What? Of course I want to…we can be all snuggly and stuff.”



“Exactly what I was thinking” Tara goes over to her dresser and takes out a pair of gray shorts and a large green t-shirt. “Here you go. You can change in the bathroom, it’s right across the hall.”



“Ok, the I’ll be right back. Oh and no peeking to see what I got you, you’ll find out tomorrow.”



“Don’t worry, I won’t look.” Willow leaves the room and Tara starts to change. She finishes and seeing as how Willow’s not back yet she walks over to the bag Willow had when her door opens.



“Tara” Says Donnie making her jump.



“W-what?”



“Faith’s on the phone for you.” He sees that he startled her, “What are you up to?”



“N-nothing.”



“R-ight” he says as he hands her the phone.



“Hey” Tara say into the phone.



“Hey Tara, how’s it going?” Asks Faith on the other end.



“It’s going great…Um, not that I’m complaining but, why are you calling so late? Isn’t it 3 in the morning over there?”



“Yeah but I couldn’t sleep, I mean, come on I get to see my sister/ best friend in less that 12 hours.”



“That’s true but you should get some sleep.”



Willow walks into the room and sees that Tara is standing by the window with her back facing her so she decides to walk up behind her.



“I don’t need sleep, you know that, if I get tired later I’ll sleep on the plane.”



“Does your mom know you’re up?”



“Yeah, she just doesn’t know I’m on the phone.”



Tara feels a pair of arms around her waist and smiles when she feels Willow’s head resting on her shoulder.



“And how long are you planning on staying on the phone?”



“As long as I have to in order to not be bored”

“

"You do realize that I need sleep, right?”



“What for?”



“Oh I don’t know, maybe so instead of staying in all day tomorrow we could do something. Or would you rather be greeted by a grumpy me?”



“Well how about we talk for an hour then you can go to sleep?”



“I can’t do that either Faith.”



“What? Why not?”



“I have a guest over and it would be rude to be on the phone.”



“Well, tell them to go to bed and you’ll just stay up.”

“Nope, sorry, I want to go to bed with her.”



“Well then…wait…did you just say you want to go to bed with your guest?”

“Yeah, I did.”



“So…you have a girlfriend now?”



“Maybe…now go to sleep cuz that’s what I’m going to do.”



“Fine, I’ll see you tomorrow, or later on today depending on which way you look at it.”



“Good night Faith.”



“ ‘Night Tara.”



“That was Faith?” asks willow as Tara hangs up the phone.



“Yeah, she says she can’t sleep, too excited about coming to live here.”



“Oh…did you tell her about us?”



“Sorta.”



“Define ‘sorta’”



“I’m sure she suspects something, especially since I said that I wanted to go to bed with my guest.”



“Oh…so she doesn’t know?”



“Nope, she’ll find out tomorrow.”



“Ok, so I’ll be nervous tomorrow then.”



“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she goes easy on you.”



“Thanks. So are we gonna go to bed now?”



“Yep” Tara is released form the hug and they walk over to the bed. “So which side do you wanna sleep on?”



“I don’t care as long as you’re on one of them.” Says Willow smiling.



“Okay then, you’ll sleep on the right and I’ll cuddle up next to you.”



“That’s fine with me.” They get into bed and snuggle up. “This is nice.”



“Yep.”



“I could stay like this forever.”



“Me too.”



“ ‘night Willow, I love you.”



“I love you too Tara, g’night.”

That was neat, how Alex and Donnie's "don't hurt Tara" speech to Willow mirrored Dawn's to Tara - nice work. And there were snuggles



Can't wait for Faith to arrive

Tara’s woken by the sound of the door closing. She looks at the clock on her nightstand and see that it’s already 12:45 pm. *Oh my god!* She thinks *That’s probably Faith downstairs* She looks over at Willow and sees that she’s still asleep. *She looks so cute…good thing she’s asleep, that way I can talk to Faith before they meet* She carefully gets out of bed making sure not to disturb Willow and makes her way downstairs. She sees Faith standing in the hallway talking to Alex.
“Faith!” She squeals excitedly as she runs to her.
“Tara! Hey!” Faith almost topples over as Tara runs into her arms.
“How was your flight? Did you get any sleep last night?”
“The flight was alright, and no I didn’t sleep last night. I stayed up watching movies on HBO.”
“Well did you sleep on the plane?”
“Yea I did. Wasn’t the most comfortable thing but hey I slept.”
“Good. So have you seen your room yet? It’s right next to mine.”
“No I haven’t, why don’t you show me?”
“ ‘Kay c’mon then.” They go upstairs.
“So, dad tell me you’ve met someone already.” Faith says, a bit hurt.
“Oh yea, actually we met in Georgia when she was there during vacation. Turns out she goes to the same school I do.”
“Oh, you mean the red-head you’d constantly talk about this summer?” Says Faith as they enter her room. *Whoa…* “Who did my room T?”
“I did, duh. Who else would know what you like” She says with a smile.
“Thanks sis.” Faith looks around her room, *Nice, even got me some Nirvana posters, AFI, MCR, Audioslave….Foo Fighters! Chea…ooh, Hot Amy Lee…she knows me too well* I love it.
“You’re welcome.”
“So, you and red? How is that?” asked Faith doing her best not to show her pain. *As long as she’s happy…it’s all good…me, I get we can never be…she’s my step-sis after all…*
“Great, she’s nice, sweet, caring, beautiful…”
“Man you are sprung girl.”
“I love her…”
“That’s…I’m happy for you T.”
“Thanks Faith. Listen, I know you love me, as more than a friend and I’m sorry.”
“Hey, it’s all good right? You’re happy, that’s all that matters, besides, I’m in Cali, bound to find a blonde babe here right?”
“Mhmm.” *You have no idea what me and will have in mind…*
“So, when can finally met red?”
“When she wakes up.”
“You mean she’s still asleep?”
There’s a crash from Tara’s room.
“Or not”
They rush over to see what happened. Willow’s on the floor trying to untangle herself from the blanket.
“Help! The frogs are coming!” Says willow still struggling.
Faith looks at Tara amused, “Frogs?”
“Frog fear, and horses…”
“Oh.”
Tara walks over to Willow and wakes her up. “Baby, it’s ok. You were just dreaming.”
“Tara?”
“Yea babe?” Tara helps Willow out of the blanket.
“What happened?”
“You fell off the bed and got yourself tangled up in the blanket.”
“I know that but how?”
“I think you uh, trying to run from the frogs” Tara says trying not to laugh.
“Oh.” Her eyes traveled to the door and she sees a dark haired girl standing there. “I-is that Faith?”
“Oh, yea. Faith this is Willow, Willow this is Faith.”
“Hola Red.” Says Faith.
“Hi Faith. It’s nice to meet you. Tara’s told me a lot about you.” *So much for a good first impression. She finds me on the floor and knows I’m afraid of frogs!*
“Same here.” There was long silence.
“Well, I should probably go take a shower.” says Tara. Willow looks over at her with a worried look, Tara just smiles. “I’ll be back in about 20 minutes.” She grabs a towel and goes to the bathroom. “Don’t be too hard on her.” She says as she walks Faith.
“So, Tara tells me you two are together.” Faith says as she walks closer to Willow.
“Yea, we are, since yesterday.”
“Is she your 1st?”
“My first what?”
“Girlfriend, is she your first girl red?”
“Yea she is.”
“You’re her first too you know.”
“I-I know.”
“As much as I hate to say it, since it’s the first time for both of you in a relationship, it’s not gonna last which means one of you will end up getting hurt. You better hope it’s not Tara.”
“I could never hurt her. I…I Love Her.”
“Well, love don’t last forever. If you too are meant to be forever though, you will go through a lot.”
“Well I kinda try not to think about that stuff right now…or ever really.”
“I’m just letting you know, when the time comes for you to break up she better not be the one getting dumped or I swear I’ll beat you to a bloody pulp.”
“O-ok…I don’t wanna hurt Tara. I just want to make her happy” *Faith is scary, but I’m glad Tara has someone to look after her*
“Yea, you better make her happy. Tara is a wonderful person, she doesn’t deserve to be get hurt. She’s already faced big time rejection from her father. She’s not gonna need it from you too.”
“I’m not going to hurt her!” *Man, Tara wasn’t kidding when she said Faith would be hard to convince*
“You better not Red. Or you’re dead.”
*Wait…* “You love her don’t you Faith?”
“O-of course I love her, she’s my best friend, my sister.” *Shit, maybe I was a little to good at the threats*
“Not what I meant, I mean, you’re in love with her.”
“W-what? For Tara?”
“No, Amber Benson. Yes Tara!”
“What are you talking about?”
“I can tell. The way you talk about her, you’re SO overprotective of her.”
“I’m overprotective cuz she’s my bff Red.”*She’s starting to piss me off with her insight…*
“No, it’s more than that. I can tell cuz Buffy’s over protective of Dawn and they’re sisters but your overprotectiveness is greater.”
“Ok, well, suppose you’re right. So?”
“I don’t know…but if you love her why arent you two together I mean not that I’m complaining cuz you know I love her and all but still.”
“She doesn’t feel the same way” Faith walks over to the bed and sits next to Willow.
“So you did, or do love her! I knew it!”
“Yea? So?”
“Why doesn’t she though? Feel the same way? And again not complaining just wondering here, I’m a rather curious person from time to…well always…but anyways you seem like a cool person and she does talk about you a lot.”
“She sees me as a sister, I guess since we grew up together she can’t picture us, well, together.”
“Oh, so wait. Do you hate me cuz I’m with her?”
“No, but I will if you hurt her.” Faith grins and puts her arm around Willow.
“You know,” Say Willow with a smile, “There’s something we were hoping you’d help us with.”
“Oh? And what would that be?”
