The actual moving in part…

Buffy and Willow decide to wait a few minutes on the bench after seeing Kennedy walk into the dorm hall with someone else. Willow didn't think she could take another meeting so soon… not until she was fully prepared of course.

"Can we go to our rooms now Wills? I mean, we've been waiting here for almost an hour… I ran out of coffee about fifteen minutes before that hour started and on top of it all… I'm kinda hungry."

Willow shook her head. Buffy's stomach was definitely a force to be reckoned with. She inwardly wondered how her friend managed to eat the way she did while managing to keep her physique.

With a sigh she got up and gathered all her things.

"Yay!" the blonde exclaimed, remembering what they were there for today. "College here I come!"

Getting a weird look from her friend she added…

"Officially!!"

Willow smiled and followed Buffy towards the direction of their dorms hoping that their rooms were closeby.

They had decided against rooming together as another way of meeting new people. Besides, they didn't want to be the kind of friends who end up hating each other because they don't spend any time apart…

"Will! Hello?! I dunno what you're thinking about but you can think about it later! We're here!"

The two friends looked up at the huge building that they would be living in for the next four years or so. With one more excited look at each other they checked their floor and room numbers and walked in.

"God I hope my room mate isn't a total spaz…"

"Buffy you're so judgemental…"

"I'm not judgemental! I just want a roommate that I can get along with… who isn't a total spaz!"

"Ooh look!" Room 219. That's me!"

"I'm 224. There it is, I can see it from here."

"See Wills, we're close together!" said an over excited blonde.

Willow wondered if Buffy had been sneaking happy pills behind her back.

A loud stomach grumble disrupted the redheads thoughts.

Buffy gave her friend a sheepish look.

"Sorry… uh… told ya I was hungry."

Willow gave a small laugh.

"Don't worry about it Buffy I'm used to it. Come on get settled in and meet me at the cafeteria after ok?"

"Cafeteria. Good plan Wills." With another smile directed at Willow Buffy knocked and opened the door of room 219.

Willow took all of ten steps necessary to get to her own room and rearranged her bags so she could put her key in and open the door.

"Having bag trouble there?" said a voice.

Willow gulped and stared at her door. The voice was oddly familiar and the question was stated in the confident matter of fact way that she remembered Kennedy having this morning…

When she finally turned around her eyes met with those of a different brunette than she had been expecting.

"Hi. I'm Faith." She said.

Willow did the best she could to be able to extend a hand.

"Willow." She said with a smile.

"Faith you goof! What are you doing?! If you hadn't stopped a billion times to check girls out then we'd be settled in by now!" Kennedy said walking up to them before realising it was the redhead Faith was talking to.

"Willow! Hey!" she said while subtly pushing her cousin away.

The older brunette smiled and shook her head.

'Looks like Kenny thinks I'm moving in on her territory… don't worry cuz, I've got a certain blonde in mind…'

"Kennedy, Hi.."

Kennedy put on her best pout.

"You don't seem too happy to see me…"

"No!" said Willow… "I mean yes… I am happy to see you."

'I just wish the seeing you could have happened a little later..' she thought in her head.

"OK we could to that." Kennedy said by way of reply.

'Damn I said that outloud!' Willow said inwardly, hoping that this time it really was only said in her mind.

"Umm… yeah… later?"

"After we get settled in? My room's on the floor above this one. I'm just dropping my cousin off at hers. She's got attention span issues. She'd probably take a week to find her room if I left her to it."

Kennedy and Willow share a laugh. The redhead heartily joining in as the word 'cousin' rolled around in her head.

"Uh, hello? Standing right here?" said a disgrunteled Faith.

Kennedy rolled her eyes.

"Alright alright… where's that piece of paper with your room number on it?"

"Geez Kenn I'm not that bad, I remember the number!"

Kennedy waits for her cousin to elaborate while taking a peek at the pretty redhead standing awkwardly to the side.

"Kenny?" said Faith while waving her hand in front of the younger brunette. " You there?"

"Uh, yeah.. what did you say?

"I said I'm in room 219."

"What was that?" said Willow not sure if she'd heard wrong… twice.

Faith smirked and laughed.

"What's with you two?"

Kennedy elbowed her in the ribs.

"Play nice Faith."

"No it's just that… another friend of mine is staying in 219."

Without another word Faith set off in the direction of the room.

Willow gave Kennedy a questioning look and the brunette replied with a shrug.

"I guess she likes your friend..." she added. "So… are we on for coffee or something after?" Kennedy asks while taking a sly look at the redhead's chest where she'd spilled her coffee earlier on.

"Right after? I'm not sure… Buffy's been complaining of hunger for a while we were gonna go down to the cafeteria. I told her I'd help get her fed..."

"Don't worry about your friend… If Faith really is her roommate I'm sure she'll get to eat something.."

"Uh…" said Willow not quite missing the intented inuendo. "Buffy is…"

"In good hands." Said Kennedy with a wink.

Willow smiled. 'Good luck Buff… Welcome to college indeed'

"So I'll pick you up here in about an hour?"

Willow nodded unable to resist this girl and her charming smile…

'Ok the rest of her isn't bad either,' Willow added in her head.

"In an hour would be great."

Willow smiled as she watched Kennedy walking away.

'That is one hot girl…I wish I wasn't such a weirdo whenever she's around though.'
With a sigh the redhead was finally able to open the door to her room and found a sweet looking blonde sitting on one of the beds as she walked in.

The blonde smiled and got up as Willow entered the room.

"Here let me help you with your bags." She said. "My name's Tara."

--

Buffy and Faith… (just after Faith ran off from Will and Kenn)

Buffy was sitting on the bed to the left side of the room wondering when her roommate would show up.

'Please don't be a spaz, please don't be spaz.' She said over and over again in her head.

Suddenly she heard a knock at her door.

Standing up to open it she found herself face to face with the most gorgeous girl she'd ever laid eyes on.

Flashing a smile that was surprisingly similar to Kennedy's weapon of choice, Faith walked in and surveyed the room. Of course (because she's Faith) not forgetting to take a good look at the little blonde that was in front of her.

"I'm Buffy." The blonde said. Getting a good look herself.

'It's ok.' She thought. 'She's a girl… I'm a girl… Just admiring each other's girlyness… in a straight way. A very straight way.' She mentally assured herself.

"Faith." The gorgeous brunette said. "Looks like it's just gonna be you and me B." she added liking the new nickname she'd given the blonde.

"I like boys." Said Buffy oh-so-eloquently. Before closing her eyes and cringing at her own weird slip up.

'Oh God… am I turning into a spaz?!.'

"Well that's good to hear B… I like boys too. Can't live without them yunno, gotta get them to do the heavy lifting and all." Said Faith with a wink.

'Aww, damn. This girl's a cutie… I like boys? Sure baby… you can keep telling yourself that. For now..' Faith thought.
