Chapter 2:

Ziva checked one final time that she had everything she wanted to take pack. She'd decided to bring enough to last a couple of weeks. If Willow does not want me to stay that long, I can always visit, say, Los Angeles or one of the big cities I suppose. She was hoping she could stay at least that long though.

Seeing she did, she locked her apartment and drove to the airport to wait for her flight. As she waiting in the terminal, she left a message on Gibbs, Tony, McGee, and Abby's phones, on the off chance they needed to get a hold of her.

The minutes seemed to inch at a years pace as they ticked towards 10am. Finally, she heard the intercom come to life.

"Flight 906 to Sunnydale, California now boarding."

Grabbing her bags, she followed the rest of the passengers boarding, unaware of just how much this visit would change her life.

Willow could hardly contain her excitement as she arrived at school, something that didn't go unnoticed by her friends.

"What's up, Will? You're awfully perky this morning." Buffy asked when the redhead reached them.

"You haven't drunk any coffee, have you?" Xander added, wariness in his eyes. He knew too well how Willow good get when she drank it, and the expression on her face was something very akin to the one she wore after she'd had the beverage.

"No, Xander, I haven't. That's only for exam time, remember?" She assured her long time friend. Unable to contain the excitement anymore, she blurted out "A relative of mine contacted me last night and wants to visit me and said she'd be here in a few days!"

"That's great Willow!" They said with matching smiles on their faces once they deciphered what she'd said. They both knew how much having a family member genuinely care about her meant to their friend.

Just then, the warning bell for first period rang, and the three friends went towards their first class of the day, discussing what this relative of Willows might be like, and what the two of them might do together. Completely forgetting about the dark things they fought on a nightly basis for once.

The flight seemed longer than the sixteen hours it took; wither it was because of Ziva's impatience to get there or the lack of sleep she'd been getting due to nightmares about Somalia, she couldn't tell.

It was a huge relief to hear the flight attendant announce they would be descending momentarily into Sunnydale Airport.

When she finally got off the plane, she quickly grabbed her bags and glanced at the address she had written down, then at what she could see of Sunnydale. The town looked like a small one, and one where you could walk to practically everything.

I can walk there; it is not like there is much crime in small towns. She thought, getting a firmer grip on her bags before leaving the airport and beginning her search for Willow's house.

It didn't take her long to find it. She walked up the steps and knocked on the front door, waiting for someone to answer.

A redhead girl around seventeen answered the door. Before Ziva could open her mouth to say anything, the girl beat her to it.

"Ziva?" She asked, her voice the same as Willow's. At the woman's nod, she stepped aside and opened the door wider.

Ziva stepped inside.

I finally got the next chapter up. Any preferences for which story you want updated next? Oh, and there'll be a small time skip in the next chapter, in which Spike will finally appear and him and Ziva will meet.
