That night at the Summer's house Buffy sat at the head of the table where she and Dawn were eating.
"So what are you up to tonight?" Buffy said looking up at Dawn.
"Oh Tara's going to come over and watch the last part of the movie we started yesterday." She said finishing up her meal.
"You two have been hanging out a lot lately." Buffy said clearing her plate from the table.
"Yeah well she's been sad lately. You know. The scoobies are her life and now that she and Willow… Well she just needs a friend."
"Yeah I know." Buffy said as she and her little sister put their plates in the sink. There was a sudden laughter that burst threw the front door.
"I thought I was going to die when he said he wanted 2000 a month." Will laughed. Buffy and Dawn came threw the kitchen to see what was up. "Oh hey guys. Were back."
"So how goes the apartment hunt?" Buffy asked Oz.
"Not to well." He answered.
"Yeah all we accomplished this afternoon was to get very tired, very quickly." Willow laughed, "Were gonna go up to bed."
"We?" Dawn asked with a go to hell look to Oz.
Willow stepped in ignoring Dawn's remark, "Goodnight you two."
"Goodnight." Buffy said trying to keep the peace.
Oz followed Willow up the stairs, "You're not actually going to let them sleep up there are you?" Dawn asked crossing her arms.
"Dawn I know this basically sucks but its Willow's life." Buffy said going back to the dishes.
"But she loves Tara." Dawn argued.
"You know that and I know that heck everybody knows that except for Oz and Willow says she loves him now so all we can do is sit back and wait." Buffy said getting frustrated.
Oz because of being half werewolf had great hearing. To good actually he heard the entire conversation between Dawn and Buffy. He stood staring out side the window of Willow's room. He knew that as long as they were in Sunnydale there was a risk of her going back to Tara. A risk he didn't want to take.
"What ya thinking about?" Willow said putting her arms around him.
"Nothing… Willow have you ever wanted to see the South America?" He asked looking at her.
"Sure. You know I've always wanted to travel. Why?" She said with a slight laugh.
"Why don't we go see it?" Oz said turning around and holding her.
"You mean leave Sunnydale?" She asked.
"Sure why not I mean you don't haft to be back at school till next fall right. We could see the world. See it together."
