-----------------

Tara and Willow were at the Bronze. For there is nothing else to do in Sunnydale on a Friday night. "I'm going to go get a drink of water," Tara told her, and slipped off into the crowd.

Of course, at this moment, a mopey young man sat down on the couch next to Willow and sighed hugely. "Hi," he said, by way of introduction. "My name's Nathan and I'm terribly depressed."

"Oh, well, um, I'm sorry?" Willow said, edging away from him subtly but surely.

"My girlfriend just broke up with me, and we were supposed to go to this concert tonight, with my parents. And now she's gone and I have no one to take with me---"

Willow's growing panic at being cornered by this young man crechendoed when hands were placed over her eyes. A voice she recognized better than her own said, "Guess who?"

Willow turned around, reached up, grabbed Xander's face, and kissed him on the mouth. "Hi honey," she chirruped.

"What the hell was that?" Xander queried.

"What the hell was that!" Anya demanded, from her spot behind Xander.

"What the hell was that?" Tara asked, standing behind Anya with two bottles of water.

"Yeah, what the hell was that?" Oz said.

"Oz! Hi! When did you.. Um, Tara... Anya, I didn't mean... Oh Goddess, at least Nathan's gone."
