"So you actually backpacked threw Asia?" Xander asked with amazement.
"Yeah its not as existing as it sounds." Oz said looking back at him.
The scoobies sat at the table in the magic shop.
"So how long you here for?" Anya asked.
"A while." He looked up at Willow, "A long while."
A silence fell over the group. Tara who had been standing by the bookshelves spoke up, "Its 8:30 come on get your books and I will take you to school Dawn."
"Okay." Dawn stood up from the table. She hadn't stopped given Oz the evil eye since he walked in. She used to think Oz was a god. But she was so protective of Tara now anyone who could hurt her Dawn would hate. "Bye see ya'll after school." She and Tara walked out the door. And then there was silence again.
Oz looked at Buffy, "Don't take this the wrong way but what did I do to piss off your sister so bad?"
Buffy let out a sye, "Don't take it the wrong way she's just… well she is really tight with Tar…"
Willow cut her off, "Buffy why don't you come with me to the coffee shop and will pick up morning caffeine."
"Sounds good to me." She picked up her coat.
"You guys want?" Will said standing up from her seat next to Oz.
"Nah none for us." Xander answered.
Willow looked down at Oz, "Something strong?" She asked.
"Yeah." He squeezed her hand. Unnoticed to Xander and Anya but Buffy saw it.
"We will be right back." Buffy said pulling Willow out the door. "So you want to tell me what's going on or do you want me to beat it out of you?" Buffy asked as they arrived at the coffee house.
"What do you mean?" Willow said innocently.
"Don't go there." Buffy said stopping. "What's going on?"
Willow stood there for a second before answering, "He came back… he came back for me." She said with a smile.
Meanwhile Tara was walking Dawn to school, "So do you think you missed much this morning?" Tara asked.
"Nah I have art first hour." Dawn looked over to Tara, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Dawny. Willow and I aren't together anymore and… well… she's moved on." The only person Tara was trying to convince when she said that was her self.
"But what about Tara?" Buffy asked as she and Willow were walking back with the coffee.
"Buffy in my entire life I have loved exactly three people. One is getting married, the second hates me and the third wants to be with me. Who would you choose?"
"Tara doesn't hate you." Buffy said as they turned the last corner.
"Maybe not but she doesn't love me." Willow said right before she opened the door. "Were back."
"Hey." Xander answered.
Willow and Buffy came and sat back at the table, "So what have you been talking about?" Willow asked handing Oz his coffee.
"Oh Xander was trying to get Oz to say weather or not you two had been screwing." Anya said.
Willow chocked on her drink, "What?"
Xander turned to Anya, "What? That's what we were talking about. You said…" Anya began imitating Xander, "So man you and Will been keeping you pants onnn." Xander put his hand over her mouth.
"She has a vivid imagination." Xander said with a smile.
"So you ready to go?" Willow asked turning to Oz. And they both stood up.
"Where are you two off to?" Buffy asked.
"Probably to have sex." Anya said with a strait face.
"Were going to breakfast and then to look for an apartment for Oz." Will said looking at Anya.
"Wow so you really are sticking around." Buffy asked Oz.
"That's the plan. Come on sweetie lets go." Oz and Willow left.
"Did he just call her…"
"Sweetie." Buffy finished Xander's sentence.
"Yeah its not as existing as it sounds." Oz said looking back at him.
