Last time on Buffy:
Cordy: Can I stay here?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Buffy saw that she had tears running down her face.
Buffy: Yeah sure. Come sit down and tell me what happened.
They moved into the living room.
Buffy: What happened did Angel do something to you? Is that why you are here?
Cordy: Sort of.
Buffy could you explain a little bit more?
Cordy: I was yelling at him when I got back to the hotel because of how pissed I was with how he treated Willow. Then he gave me this whole speech on that he wanted to kill the goon but he had already had to suffer a lot because with his soul and all. I asked him why he didn't just bring him to the police station. He said that you called him when Willow went on the rampage and thought that Willow was wrong with what she had done. But that doesn't mean that she should die for it.
Buffy: Cordy you have to calm down. You can stay here as long as you want. The only problem is Dawn.
Cordy: What are you going to do about her?
Buffy: I am going to wake her up in the morning and say that you are here and so is Willow and Tara so if she gives any of you an attitude then she will have to deal with me.
Cordy: Thanks. But I am really beat so I am just going to sleep here on this nice comfy couch.
Buffy: Okay I am going to go to bed to. You know where I am if you need me and you know where the bathroom is and where Tara's room is. If you need anything go right ahead.
Cordy: Thanks again.
Buffy turned to go up stairs and looked in one last time on Tara and Willow. They were both asleep. They look so perfect together. Buffy then when to her room and didn't wake up in the middle of the night like she had every night for a while. Everything was right in the world.
The next morning
Knock
Dawn: Yeah?
Buffy: I have to talk to you for a minute.
Dawn: What about?
Buffy: Tara, Willow and Cordy are here.
Dawn: What? You let Cordy in the house after she slapped me?
Buffy: She told me what you said and I would have done the same thing. Willow is my best friend and Tara is her girlfriend so deal with it or not I do not care but if you hurt any of them then you will have hell to pay.
Then Buffy walked out of her room and into the hall. Only to find Willow stand there. Well leaning against the wall.
Buffy: Willow you shouldn't be out of bed. You need time to heal. You have to take that time.
Willow gave her best friend a hug.
Buffy: What was that for?
Willow: for what you said. I heard it all. You haven't called me your best friend in a while it is great to know that I still have that status with you.
Buffy: Of course you do you always have always will. Now lets get you back to bed before Tara wakes up and doesn't know where you are.
In the distance
Tara: WILLOW!
Willow: I think she knows I'm gone.
Buffy: Tara she is right here.
Tara: Oh thanks goodness. Why did you get out of bed?
Willow: I had to go to the bathroom.
Tara: You should have woken me up.
Willow: I didn't mean to worry you.
Tara: I was just scared. I didn't want you to have another flashback with know one around you when you snap out of it to talk to you.
Willow: I'm sorry.
Tara pulled her into a hug. While still in the hug.
Tara: Never do that again please.
Willow I won't I swear.
Buffy: Why don't I go see if Cordy is up then you can bring her down on the couch.
Tara: Cordy is here?
Buffy: Yeah when she got back to the hotel she and Angel got in a fight and she drove here and now she is staying here. I'll go see if she's awake.
Tara: Thanks.
Down stairs
Buffy looked in and saw that she was awake.
Buffy: Hey your up.
Cordy: Yeah what was all the yelling?
Buffy: Willow got up out of bed and when Tara woke up she wasn't there so she was worried.
Cordy: Oh I get that.
Buffy: Since you are up I am going to go help Willow come down stairs so she can be on the couch.
Cordy: You want more help.
Buffy: Thanks any ways but I think Tara and I got it. You can get a blanket out of the closet though and a pillow.
Cordy: Okay.
Upstairs
Buffy: Cordy is up so you can go down and rest on the couch.
Tara: Do you want help going down the stairs?
Willow: Maybe Buffy in front and you in back in case I fall.
Buffy: Will do.
Tara: Just go slow.
By the time Willow was down stairs she was already tired.
Willow: Tara baby I'm already tired and all I did was go down the stairs. How long am I going to be this weak?
Tara: Willow I don't know but you were shot so you have to take time to heal.
Willow: I know but you know that I hate to be the weak one.
Just then Dawn came down the stairs
Dawn: You better get use to it.
Buffy: Dawn!
Dawn: What if she's hurt she isn't going to be up fighting the bad guys anytime soon.
Buffy: Dawn can I talk to you in the other room for a minute?
Tara: Let me talk to her.
In the other room
Tara: Dawn you know that I love you right?
Dawn: Yeah I do but I just can't forgive Willow for what she did to you and everyone else.
Tara: If I had the heart to forgive her then you can to.
Dawn: But I don't think that she should be forgiven.
Tara: I don't know what to do about you to tell you the truth.
Dawn: Don't do anything if Willow doesn't talk to me I won't talk to her.
Tara: But you know that Willow won't be able to leave the house for a while and your going to be around so I might need you to help out.
Dawn: Fine.
Back in the living room
Buffy: Where's Dawn?
Tara: She's in the kitchen.
Buffy: Will I'm sorry for what she said.
Willow: It's okay I get it she's still mad at me.
Buffy: That's where you are wrong. I know that I should do something but I don't know what. I can't exactly kick her out. If a social services person came by she would be taken away forever.
Willow: I don't know either. I did something wrong and I paid for it I don't see why she is still mad.
Buffy: You just sleep I will figure something out.
Tara: Buffy you can leave I'll stay with her.
Buffy: Okay.
Tara went to sit on the floor so that her head was at the same height as Willow's.
Tara: You have to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and thinking about you. Your right you did something wrong and you paid for it. Dawn just seems to be holding the grudge more.
Willow: What am I going to do when you and Buffy are out patrolling I am going to be here with Dawn and what if she just ignores me if I fall or something?
Tara: She won't I swear.
Dawn from the other room: NO YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!
