Buffy and Andi had just finished a long sports practice one afternoon and were the last two girls on their team to enter the girls locker room. Being the last two girls inside, by the time it was time for them to shower, they were the only ones in the shower room. As the two girls began to rub soap on their bodies and shampoo in their hair they began to talk starting with Andi who said, "So Buffy, you got any plans tonight?" Buffy then said, "Yeah. Big date with Walker. We're actually going to a fancy restaraunt and then go dancing." Andi then said, "Well. A full fledged date then." Buffy then said, "Yeah. Except since this is our first real big date, I'm worried that we might... kiss." A confused Andi said, "Wait. You're worried about him kissing you?" Buffy then said, "Well yeah. I'm worried I might not do it right. I mean I don't know how it went so right for you when you kissed Jonah." Andi then said, "Look. Just pucker your lips a little bit and then simply move in. It's nothing complicated." Then Buffy said, "It doesn't sound complicated but I only like to do things perfectly." Andi then said, "Here, I'll let you know how it feels." Andi then leaned over to Buffy and kissed her on the cheerk. Then Andi said, "See. You feel how my lips touched your skin. No big."

Buffy then said, "Yeah. No big when it's lips on a flat surface. But what about when it's lips pushing against lips? It just seems so wierd to handle. I wish I could practice it somehow." Andi then said, "Well... if you want... you could practice... on me." A surprised Buffy said, "On you? But... we're friends and..." Andi then said, "Exactly. We're best friends. And we'd do anything for each other. No matter how awkward it is. I'm here for you Buffy." Buffy then said, "Well... it would be nice to practice on someone I'm comfortable around. Well... okay. Lets do it."

Buffy and Andi then stood facing the other. They moved their faces towards each other. Both girls trembled a bit as their bodies moved within inches of the other. Their eyes closed and then their lips touched. The two girls pushed their lips against the other and their kiss began. The skin of their lips moved slightly to the left and right while the right side of Buffy's nose brushed against the left side of Andi's nose. The two then wrapped their arms around the others' body as their upper bodies began to push against the other. Buffy began to smile but then Andi stepped away from Buffy and said, "So, you feel experienced and ready now?" A dazed looking Buffy said, "Yeah. Uh huh." Andi then said, "Good. Well I'm gonna get my regular clothes on now. See ya." Andi then walked away from Buffy. As Buffy stood in the shower room all alone she felt her chest with her hands as she said softly to herself, "Why is my heart beating harder than it ever has before? Why does my face feel like it's blushing? I never felt these feelings when around Marty or Walker. Why do I wish Andi didn't leave? Why do I wish I could have plans with her instead of Walker now? Could I... Oh God... could I... what if I'm not into boys? Could... could I like girls?"
