Willow and Buffy…
It's orientation time at the college and a blonde and a redhead are walking around with coffees in their hands. Today was the day they would move into their dorm rooms and both were filled with nervous excitement. One could argue that this feeling was coming more from their coffee cups that the actual situation they were placed in…
"Gosh Buffy look at all these academic looking people!" said the redhead.
The blonde nodded and took another sip from her cup.
"Yeah… uh, I'm kinda getting a little intimidated by the whole academic thing."
"But Buffy! This is why we came to College remember?"
"I thought we came for the freedom? And the boys?" said the blonde with a pout. "Where are all the cute boys?"
"Don't forget the girls…" the redhead added.
They both smiled. Willow had sometime ago decided that the fairer sex was the one for her. Boys were too… boyish for her tastes.
Buffy was happy that her friend was comfortable enough to talk about her sexuality with her and was honored to be the first that found out about it. After the redhead of course…
"Don't worry I won't forget the girls!"
Willow smiled and added with a cheeky smile, "Why, Buffy I didn't know that you'd jumped the fence as well!"
With an eye roll and some use of her balancing skills, Buffy managed to elbow her friend even with the coffee cup and all the bags she was carrying.
Unfortunately the red head's dexterity wasn't up to speed so early in the morning and she spilled her coffee and dropped a few of her bags.
"Hey are you ok? Let me help you with that…" said a young brunette while flashing Willow an incredibly charming smile.
"I uh…" stammered the redhead.
Buffy watched amused as her friend was non too subtly being swept off her feet by this new face.
"I'm Kennedy", the new face said.
"I.." the redhead said.
Buffy decided that it was now time to give her redheaded friend a break. She held her hand out to the brunette and smiled.
"Hey. I'm Buffy and this is my friend Willow. We're both very pleased to meet you Kennedy."
She looked at the redhead pointedly and begged her with her eyes to say something.
The redhead gaped.
Buffy decided her tactic wasn't quite working and changed her tactic.
"Willow say something."
The redhead was finally shaken out of her stupor and managed to get out a strangled 'Hi'.
Kennedy smiled again and held her hand out for the redhead to take.
Willow by some act of God took it and flashed a smile of her own.
"I'm Willow."
"And these, are yours." Kennedy said while handing the redhead her bags back.
"Thanks." Said the redhead while taking them.
"Maybe we'll see you again Kennedy" said Buffy.
"I hope so." Replied the brunette before walking away, but not without making sure she gave the redhead another look.
"Well… looks like we found the girls." Said the blonde with a twinkle in her eye.
"Shut up Buffy." Willow replied.

Faith and Kennedy.
"Very nice Kenny." Said a gorgeous and slightly older brunette with a smirk.
"It's our first day here and you're out hunting already."
"Quiet Faith. And for your information, I was not hunting as you so crudely put it… I was merely helping out a girl… Granted she was an incredibly hot girl…
"With an incredibly hot friend…" Faith added.
"But she's still only a girl. That I was helping… so there."
"Liar."
"What! Come on I'm helpful! I'm nice!"
"True. But I'm not buying. You totally want that redhead. You used the smile."
"The smile?"
"You know the one… the I'm so hot, you know you want me smile. God Kenn you only pull that one out with the special girls and you know it."
Kennedy sighs and shakes her head.
"Shut up Faith."

Back to Willow and Buffy who had taken to sitting on a campus bench.
Willow was sitting with her arms crossed and a pout gracing her pretty features.
Buffy placed a comforting arm around her.
"Come on Wills it wasn't that bad…"
"Yes it was."
"Ok it was a little bad."
"I fully freaked out!"
"I know, but you looked totally cute when you freaked out!."
"Not helping Buffy…"
"Well she thought you were cute! I could tell."
"God did you see that smile?" the redhead said perking up a little as she remembered.
The blonde nodded.
"It was incredible", continued her friend.
"Geez Wills… you got it bad!" said Buffy with another elbow nudge.
"Buffy! Quit it with those!"
"I actually think you should thank me for the elbow nudge. It's how you met Kennedy remember? The girl with the megawatt smile?." The blonde said teasingly, wondering what she should charge the redhead for the nudge.
Willow put her head on Buffy's shoulder not knowing what the blonde was actually thinking about.
"I hope I see her again…"
"I'm sure you will. In fact… I'd go so far as to bet a hundred dollars on it." Replied the blonde.
"How can you be so sure?" asked the redhead.
"Well it could be the fact that she's kinda walking into our dorm hall."
"Really!" the redhead asked panicked.
Following Buffy's line of sight she saw that the brunette was indeed walking into the same hall that they had been assigned.
"Umm.. wouldn't this be considered a good thing?"
"But WE live in our dorm hall and look at that girl she's with! What if she's already got a girlfriend!"
"What girl?"
Buffy gave her friend an exasperated look.
"Will… I really think we should work on this whole confidence thing of yours."
