Chapter 3-Part 1-Maya's POV

We just arrived from a night of the town-our personalized preview of tomorrow's touring, led by the knowledgeable Taz-and I figured I'd write an entry before I hit the sheets. Right now, Willow & Tara are changing, and Taz is flipping through channels.

"Late night TV in Ireland is fun!" she exclaims giddily, while blasting some band called the Levellers, a little reminiscent of an outback commercial.

I'm so tired, but still incredibly hyper. Willow, Tara, Maya, and I just got back from the city. The official "touring" isn't meant to start until tomorrow, but I figured I would take everyone on my own tour. My tours are more fun anyways.

We headed out around five-thirty, and got back around 45 minutes ago. Willow and Tara were content just seeing the sights, but Maya wanted to see all of the places that I've been going on about for years now.

First, we went out and found a cosy, traditional Irish restaurant to eat at. Everybody got their first tastes of Irish cooking, and I mixed and matched some of my favourites. I actually think Tara fell in love with Irish food. The coolest part of our dining experience was that out waitress was fluent in Gaelic as well. So, of course, we carried on an animated Irish conversation, which landed us several bizarre looks from my group. It felt good to be speaking Gaelic again, and I missed Ireland.

After we left the restaurant, Willow told us that she felt like shopping, so we headed to the popular Dublin shops. Tara and Maya wanted souvenirs, while Willow was looking more for clothes and such. Therefore, we walked Tara and Maya to a small souvenir shop, while Willow and I continued to the clothing shop next store.

After an hour (yes, an hour) of shopping, we finally left the stores, our pockets considerably lighter. Upon asking what we wanted to do, Maya suggested that we go to see a film. Everyone agreed, and we went off to the cinema.

Of course, no one knew what film we were going to see, so we decided upon a new Irish drama that had not been available in America. None of us really had and clue about the film's plot, although I'd seen the lead actress from seeing other Irish films on countless other visits.

During the film, my attention strayed from the screen to Maya, who was sitting quietly beside me. Halfway through the film, I could not stand it anymore, and I reached over to gently take her hand.

She jumped at first, slightly surprised, but the shock was quickly overtaken by love and contentedness. We spent the rest of the film, hand in hand.

After the film, the four of us wrecked havoc on the town. I think the Irish are now officially scared of us.

It was a long night, but I'm glad we went out. It was definitely worth it.

Sorry about the interruption; I just changed, and Taz and I called Adam and Charlie pretending to be from some phone sex line. They said they weren't interested-we should have figured that.

Anyway, our first day in Ireland was fun, since we got to go on our own customized tour, courtesy of Taz. She led us first to a restaurant called the Oliver St. John Gogarty, where I tried Gaelic Steak and Corcannon. It was really quite good. We were about to leave when Taz and the waitress embarked on a long conversation…in Gaelic. Well, at least now I'm completely sure that Taz knows more Gaelic than just curses.

And I also think I've stumbled upon another revelation. While Taz and the waitress were talking I dropped my fork, and when I went under the table to get it, I noticed that Tara had her hand on Willow's leg, and Willow's fingers were trailing up and down Tara's forearm. Now, maybe they're just really good friends, I do remember them saying that right after I told them that Taz and I were just really good friends…but what if they meant what I meant? And I also think I remember them holding hands in the elevator…I'm going to have to look into this.

And if they are a couple, it'll be good for all of us, because we can be totally honest. I know I couldn't go for this whole trip pretending to be just friends with Taz. Besides, what would the Queertet be without their feisty lesbians?

Willow and Tara  are now changing in the bathroom. Together. They've been in there a while, and I think I heard some giggling.

"Whoa, what are they doing in there?" Taz asks suggestively.

I think I know.
