The day passed quickly, "So what's for dinner?" Dawn asked entering the dinning room.
"I haven't gotten that far yet." Buffy said sitting at the table and reading the paper.
"It's 8 o'clock." Dawn said sitting down across from Buffy.
"Oh." Buffy looked out side and saw that it was dark, "I'm sorry I lost track of time."
"Yeah its okay. I'll just call Xander and see if he will bring over some pizza."
Dawn said picking up the phone.
Just then Willow walked in but she kept her distance, "Hey."
Dawn put down the phone, "Hey. Where have you been?"
"Around." Willow said softly.
"Well we were just about to see if we could get a pizza over here." Dawn said holding up the phone.
"Oh no." Willow said taking the phone. "Tara would kill me if…" Willow had to catch her self, "Come on I'll make you some dinner." Willow turned to Buffy, "You want some." She asked trying to make peace.
"Sure." Buffy said with a half smile, "Can I help?"
Willow shook her head yes and Buffy followed her and Dawn into the kitchen.
Oz was sitting up stairs thinking, "Dawn's wrong. Willows unhappy here. She's only happy when she's with me." Just then he heard laughter from down stairs. He snuck down to see Willow, Buffy and Dawn in the kitchen.
"So which part of the Cow does beef come from?" Dawn asked with a giggle.
"It's better if you don't know." Willow said flipping the burger.
"Oh come on." Dawn said taking a drink from her coke.
"No she's right you wouldn't be able to enjoy it if you knew." Buffy said taking the bun bag out of the cabinet.
"Not a clue huh?" Dawn asked.
"Not one." Willow and Buffy said at the same time. And then all three broke out in laughter.
Just then Anya, Xander and Tara came threw the back door with a cake and pizza. "We bring food." Xander said sitting it down on the counter. "You have food."
"Well we didn't know you guys were coming over." Buffy said looking over at them, "You know civilized people use the phone."
"Oh come on then you could have said no." A voice from behind Xander said. It was Spike.
"Your hanging out with Xander now. I must be dreaming." Willow said turning off the stove.
"Don't read to much into it. He had the good wine." Xander said taking the bottle from Spike.
"Yeah your welcome." Spike snapped.
"What's going on you guys?" Dawn asked.
"Well we could just let our favorite red head leave with out a goodbye party." Xander said walking over and hugging Willow.
"Thanks guys." Willow said looking at Tara.
Oz stood out side the kitchen. She looked happy. She looked like she had a life, a good life. Maybe Dawn didn't lie. He turned and walked up the stairs.
Dawn opened up the pizza box, "Yes!"
"Just after I was about to get her to eat healthy." Willow said walking over and looking at the cake. Is said: TO OUR FAVORITE SCOOBY GOODBYE.
"Oh that's impossible. Trust me I've tried." Tara said brushing back the hair from Dawn's face. Those motherly instincts again.
"Thank you." Buffy mouthed to Spike. Their relationship was still unknown to the group.
"Um I'm going to go get Oz." Willow said walking out of the kitchen. Man how she was going to miss them.
Upstairs Oz was staring at a box across the room. It had TARA printed on it. He didn't know why he had never noticed it before.
"Hey sweetie the Scooby's brought food." Willow said opening the bedroom door. "Hey what's the matter?" Willow said noticing the gloomy look on Oz's face. Then she saw what he was staring at, "Oh. That's just some stuff she left here." Willow said pulling her hair behind her ears.
"That's not all she left here." Oz said softly before turning to Willow, "I'm leaving."
"I know that. South America. You…Me… did you get hit on the head?" Willow asked.
"No I'm leaving ALONE." Oz said looking to the ground.
"What are you talking about?" Willow asked stepping towards him.
"You don't belong with me." Oz managed to chock out.
"What?" Willow asked confused.
"You have a family here. And just because you were fighting… I shouldn't have come here. You need to be with those people down stairs. That's where you belong." Oz said as the tears started rolling down his cheeks.
Willow just stood there in shock. "When?"
"Now. The sooner I leave the sooner you can start fixing things. Building bridges instead of burning them." He leaned in and hugged her goodbye. He grabbed his bag off the bed and opened the door to leave but not before Willow could say one more thing.
"Don't you love me?"
"In my whole life I've never loved anything else." Oz said not even looking back at her. Then he walked out the door. Which was kind of a pattern in Sunnydale.
Oz walked down the stairs and ran into Tara, "H..H..Hey." Tara said looking at the ground.
"Don't hurt her." Oz said looking at her. Tara looked up confused. But by the time she looked up he was gone.
