"Can we go back in there yet?" Dawn asked plopping her head down on the counter.
"I didn't want to come back here in the first place." Anya said taking a bite out of the popcorn they had made twenty minutes ago.
"Hey guys don't rush them. Make ups take time." Xander said sitting on the counter near the sink. "But if they don't make up soon I'm gonna sleep right here on your floor okay Buff?"
"Sounds good to me." Buffy said as her eyes started drooping.
"Hey don't fall asleep." Spike said from his spot by the door, "You've still got patrolling later."
"Yeah…Yeah Sleep now Slay later." Buffy said closing her eyes.
Back in the living room Willow sat on the coffee table across from Tara sitting on the couch. "We can't go back to the way things were Willow." Tara said with a serious look.
"I know that." Willow answered, "Magic can't be in my life anymore. And I can't have it around me… but I can't ask you to give up your way of life."
"My way of life isn't worth anything with out you." Tara said looking at the floor. "But I need to know that you wont go back to it."
"I give you my word… I know that's not worth a lot anymore but I swear to you Magic wasn't worth what it cost me… I'm just not sure you would love the real me." Willow said before Tara's head shot up.
"How could you think that?"
"Isn't it the truth?" Willow said as tears began falling down her cheek.
"Hey." Tara said wrapping her hands around Willow's, "When I got into the relationship it was for better or worse and in Sunnydale the worst is inevitable but I'm looking forward to the better. And the better is you… the REAL you."
Willow smiled and stood up bringing Tara up with her. Then she led her by the hand out of the living room and up the stairs.
