Title - That's The Deal My Dear 3
Author - The Sorcerer Bard (q_of_q01@yahoo.co.nz)
Pairing - Willow/Tara (and eventually indications of Buffy/Angel, Cordelia/Angel and Buffy/Spike )
Spoilers - General Buffy season 6 and Angel season 3
Setting - AU, most of the things in season 6 have happened but with some differences. Our beloved couple have split up after Will promised not to do magick but then preformed a spell that backfired. This shows them getting back together. Also Giles didn't leave Sunnydale (over which Anya was very annoyed and still isn't letting him forget it.)

That's The Deal My Dear part 3
"Now you want to know your destiny right?" When Tara nodded her continued, "Your destiny is to be exactly who you are now."
"That's no destiny." Tara was disappointed by Lorne's prediction.
"But it will become very clear very soon." he got up from the table and headed towards the bar, Tara followed him with her eyes.
"Angel can't let you in wit dose." the bouncer told the vampire. He was pointing to the wrist mechanisms that currently held a stake in each.
"It's me, Jimmy, you can trust me."
"Rules is rules." Jimmy wouldn't budge.
"Just give them to him Angel." Willow pleaded.
Seeing the look on her face he unclipped the mechanisms and handed them over to Jimmy.
"Ya can get em on the way out."
"Thanks Jimmy." Angel said as he walked past and through the second less obvious metal detector.
Tara was looking at the bar when a movement by the entrance way caught her eye. Walking through were a brown haired man she knew but couldn't quite place, followed by a woman with blonde tinted hair cut to her shoulders, another man who, other than his glasses, looked rather plain. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw who followed them.
Willow looked around the room. She began with the bar then with the table near it then to the tables in the middle distance. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw who was seated at one of the tables looking her straight in the eye.
"Willow!" Tara cried as she practically leapt from her seat.
"Tara!" Willow exclaimed as she rushed forward.
The two women met halfway and practically fell into each others arms.
Willow was sobbing uncontrollably, "I-I missed you."
"And I you sweetie." Tara said in a tight voice.
"True love always wins out in the end." Lorne said as he walked up behind Angel.
"You set this up, didn't you?"
"Angel, Angel, Angel, you've got me all wrong." Lorne said in mock hurt.
"Yea right." Cordy chipped in.
Lorne smiled at her.
Tara guided Willow to her table.
"W-what have you been doing?" Willow asked the blonde witch.
"Well after I left Sunnydale I went on a bit of a um ... Self exploration journey."
"And what did you find out?"
"That I missed you." Tara looked deep into the redhead's eyes, "More than I would have thought possible."
A waiter appeared at the table with two flutes of champagne.
"W-we didn't order those." Tara told him.
"The host sent them." the waiter smiled as he set one flute in front of each of them.
"The host?" Willow asked looking round.
"The green skinned demon talking to Angel, he can read peoples destinies." Tara said indicating Lorne.
"That's why you were here, isn't it?"
"Yes." Tara sounded a little sheepish.
"What did he tell you?" Willow's face held a look of curiosity.
"He said I was destined to be right were I am now."
"Here waiting for you to show up hun." Lorne said as he came up to the table.
"What do you mean?"
"I can see in both your auras a streak of each other." Lorne pointed to Tara, "Your aura is a golden color with red streaks through it." he then pointed at Willow, "And your aura is red with streaks of gold through it."
"So you're saying ..." Willow began.
"That you two are supposed to be together forever, you were destined to be a couple."
Willow looked at Tara and for the first time ever she noticed a golden glow
surrounding her.
Tara looked at Willow and for the first time ever she noticed a red glow surrounding her.
The two realised that they were one. They were two people but they were one couple.
"I'll leave you two lovebirds alone." Lorne moved away from the table.
To Willow and Tara the rest of the room seemed to fall away. Each of them could see only the other.
"I love you." Willow said.
"And I love you." Tara responded.
The two women got up and embraced each other. As they stood there they began to rise off the floor.
"It's a good thing that this is Caritas." Wesley commented as he pointed the pair out to Angel and Cordy.
"Well I don't know apparently they got away with it in the Bronze back in Sunnydale." Cordy said.
"Don't they make the cutest couple you've ever seen." Lorne said as he sat next to them at the bar.
Angel drove the pair back to Tara's apartment to collect her things and Miss Kitty then they were headed back to Sunnydale and Buffy and the rest of the gang.
"Hang on a sec." Tara said to Angel, "Pull over, there's some one I want to say good bye to."
She hopped out of the car and rushed across the road to the grocery store.
"Rachel! I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon."
"I'm not here to buy anything, Geoff, I'm here to say good bye."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to where I live."
"Well I'm going to miss you." Geoff had walked round the counter and was standing in front of her.
"Take care Geoff." Tara threw her arms round him and gave him a quick hug.
"You too Tara." Geoff said. His voice had changed, it was now cultured and elegant.
"How did you know?"
"My name is not really Geoff." he smiled down at her, "It's Oscar."
"I don't understand."
"I do." came Willow's voice from the store's entrance.
Tara turned to look at her girlfriend.
"He's a S'nitch, a type of demon that is semi-omnipotent." Angel said as he came up behind Willow.
"Liam, so good to see you found her."
"You could have just told us."
"But that would spoil all the fun."
Willow and Tara spent the trip back to Sunnydale covering what had happened to each other over the period they had been separated. Miss Kitty was safely asleep in a cat box between them.
"Ladies, we're here." Angel interrupted them as he pulled up in front of the Summers house.
"Tara!" cried Dawn as she came running down the path to meet them.
"Dawny!" Tara exclaimed as she threw her arms around the teenager.
"Come on Tara." Willow said, she had one of Tara's bags in one hand and the box with Miss Kitty in the other, "Let's get your things back where they belong."
"Okay." Tara grabbed her other two bags and followed the redhead into the house.
Half an hour later all Tara's things were back in their rightful place and Tara was standing in the middle of the room.
"It's great to be back." Tara said.
"It's even greater to have you back." Willow said coming up behind her and wrapping her arms around her waist.
Tara twisted round so she was facing Willow. She looked deep into her eyes.
"You're my life, my everything." Tara said as she cupped her hand on either side of Willow's face. Her lips moved forward and pressed against Willow's.
"And wherever you are I'll always be with you." Willow said.
"That's the deal." Tara broke the kiss and smiled.
The End.
