TITLE: It's Always the Pain That Knocks You
RATING: PG-13
SUMMARY: Willow introduces her new friend to the rest of the Scoobies. They don't all get on as well as she had hoped.
DISCLAIMER: Characters do not belong to me, they belong to Joss Whedon and co. Just borrowing them for my own sick pleasures!
AUTHORS NOTE: This story takes place in Season 4; however Wild at Heart never happened. So Oz didn't leave and he and Willow are still together. I have taken major liberties with this story so it doesn't really follow the plot line of the actual season. I guess it is AU in a way. Oh, and the title has nothing to do with the story.
FEEDBACK: Any and all is appreciated!

Willow heard him sigh as she got out of the bed. She turned towards him and saw him rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Where are you going?" He asked his voice thick with sleep.
"The shower, to do the showering thing."
"Oh yeah?" He raised an eyebrow, "D'ya need any help?"
She laughed slightly and bent down to give him a kiss. "I don't need help, but you're going to be late for class. Sharing a shower would save much time. What do you think?"
"Sounds like a plan." He said a little huskily.

Willow was smiling dreamily when Buffy joined her and Xander at the table at lunch.
"Hey guys." She sat down shooting Xander a quizzical look.
"What?" He asked indignant. "Just cause I'm non-college guy I shouldn't be in here? Is that what you think?"
"Um, no. I was wondering what was up with Willow and the far off dreamy look. You know I like that you come here. To eat for free."
Xander grinned "Well, okay then. She was like that when I got here."
"Oh hey Buffy. When did you get here?" Willow asked, seeing her best friend for the first time.
Buffy laughed "What happy pills you been taking today Will?"
Willow blushed slightly, "No pills. Don't need them."
"Oooh! Is this Oz induced happiness then? Spill!"
Willow shook her head no. "It's private."
"Oh come on! You tell me everything about what you two get up to!"
Willow glanced at Xander, "Yeah, but not infront of other people."
"Hey!" Xander cried "I am not 'other people'! I don't mind hearing whatever you got to say."
"I'd rather not." Willow shook her head again.
"Whisper it to me then." Buffy suggested.
Willow leaned close and whispered into Buffy's ear.
"What?" The slayer asked "I didn't catch it. Say it again."
Willow leaned forward again, cupping her mouth with her hand.
"I still can't hear Will."
"The shower! We did it in the shower!" Willow said her voice raised with impatience.
Both Buffy and Xander's mouths dropped open. Xander stared at her bug-eyed while Buffy grinned. Willow threw her hand over her mouth and turned a delicate shade of red.
"Oh God" She whimpered in humiliation.
"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Oz's voice came to them as he sat down.
Willow squeaked behind her hand. Buffy laughed and Xander sat there unable to close his mouth.
"The.the.the.shower?" Xander had found his voice.
Oz raised both eyebrows and turned towards his girlfriend who now had her face buried in her both her hands. He turned to Buffy, who was cying from laughter. He smiled at her, a little amused and a whole lot embarrassed. He could feel Xander's eyes burning into him so he finally looked at him.
"Wow. What was it like?" Xander asked.

A/N: Plot will follow in the next chapters, promise! Will be a little angsty!
