Janet came out of one of the Trauma rooms, "We've lost another two." She walked back over to Tara in chairs. "How are you doing Tara? Holding up okay?"
Tara shrugged, "Believe it or not Ma'am, I've been through more than you could imagine."
Janet rubbed a comforting hand on Tara's back. "I'm not so sure of that. Is that why you and Willow are fighting? Did you see something you shouldn't have?"
Tara shook her head, "No Ma'am, but I found out something that she didn't want me to know."
Janet nodded slowly, "Have you talked to her?"
Tara pursed her lips, "I talk, she either screams or pledges her love to me, over and over. Nothing i..in the middle."
Sam and Kerry stood in the cafeteria staring at each other. They seemed to take turns opening and closing their mouths. Kerry finally spoke, "Are you...involved with someone?"
Sam thought about this much longer than she should have had to. "Not...really...you?"
Kerry swallowed, "No...I...No."
Sam swallowed, "Right, so...food."
Kerry nodded, "Food."
Kim cleared her throat and Willow's eyes actually focused on Kim's face, "You're not going to leave are you?"
Kim shook her head negatively, "You two have obviously had a fight before this one. Tell me about it. Getting it out in the open helps."
Willow shook her head, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"I also wouldn't believe that I'm sitting in Chicago when I live in San Francisco."
Willow rolled her eyes, "Fine, you wanna hear all the gory details, then I'll tell you them." She pulled hand through her hair and started speaking. "Tara and I, we were..." Willow glanced over at Tara, "We
are in love you know. Love...like the birds and bees." Willow looked up to gauge Kim's reaction. Kim simply nodded, "Well, we also are Wiccans. You know, spells and stuff. Well, like four months ago a good friend of mine...of ours died, but we all knew it was wrong, the Scooby gang, and so I kinda brought our friend back from the dead. And I liked it, I mean. I'm good at magic, and you know, it's something Tara and I had in common. But now whenever I use magic Tara jumps on me and not in that good feeling way. And so, like a week ago, we broke up, but then Dawnie, who is the friend's sister is
trying to get us back together, but I don't see why doing magic is so bad. Oh yeah, and I kinda erased everyone's memories for a while. But I still knew I was attracted to Tara, but then a guy friend stepped on the crystal and poofy, she was mad again."
Kim kept a neutral face, "And this...Amy, new girlfriend?"
Willow snorted with laughter, "No, if Amy were any straighter she would be a really...um...straight line. She used to be a rat, but then I reversed that spell and we go out on the town and party all night.
She's fun, all Tara ever wanted to do was like goody two shoes stuff."
Kim kept a calm face, but she was frantically trying to remember every piece of information about Wiccan that she had ever seen. It wasn't much...well, none. So she took a shot in the...dark... "Are you using Dark Magicks Willow?"
Willow's jaw flopped open, "I wouldn't, I mean, the magic doesn't hurt anyone."
Kim stared off to the side, deciding how she was going to approach this new, twist, in the conversation. "How long did you and Tara go out?"
Willow put her head in her hands, "It felt like forever, but every time we looked at each other it was the first time."
Kim smiled, "Do you love Tara?"
Willow nodded slowly, "Since even before the Extra Flamey candle." Kim looked blankly at Willow, "Yes, yes I do. But every time that we get near each other we fight and then she..." Willow swallowed, "she storms off. But...but I do love her."
"Has she ever disputed this fact?"
Willow scrunched up her eyebrows, "Well, no, I mean, no...why?"
Kim didn't answer directly, "Do me one favor...listen to Tara the next time you two talk. You guys seem so...just listen to her."
Everyone looked up as Sam came crashing into he ER followed closely by Kerry. Randi quickly rushed over to take some of the food stuffs out out of Sam's hands. Sam smiled, "Thanks forgot about that last
step." Sam turned towards Kerry with a smile, "You coulda told me..."
Kerry smirked, "Sam, they're stairs...that involves stepping down..." She grabbed a sandwich and plopped down next to Randi, "So, anything good happen while we were doing...recon...?"
