Last time on Buffy:

Then Dawn came down stairs

Dawn: What is all the yelling?

Then Dawn looked in.

Dawn: Oh my.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ A/N: I know this has been a very very long time since I have updated but I just found the disk that I had this story saved on so I thought that I would end it once and for all.)

A/N 2: This is taking place at Willow's funeral and a little ways afterwards.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Tara is sitting on the bed that use to be hers and Willow's. Now it is just hers. It is cold and empty in the room. There was a knock at the door interrupting her thoughts.

Buffy: Tara?

Tara: Hey Buffy.

Tara had tear marks streaming down her face. Buffy came over and sat next to her taking the sad girl in her strong arms.

Buffy: I know this is not going to be easy but you have to be strong.

Tara: I don't know if I can do that.

Buffy pulled back and held onto her shoulders

Buffy: I know that you can.

Tara: You think?

Buffy: I know. So, you ready to go?

Tara: yea I think I am.

At the funeral: (Tara) Everyone is staring at me. I don't know if they were looking at me because I am crying. I don't know if it was because they didn't know how to act and they thought that they should have played off of my emotions. Then I realized it. Willow never told her family about her life style. They don't except me as Willow's girlfriend because to them I am just a stranger. As soon as I realized this I turned on my heel and ran. I don't care where I am running as long as I can run. Just to get away.

(Buffy) I can't believe I am here. I am the slayer, the chosen one. Willow was just an ordinary girl. That was until I met her anyways. I was supposed to die an early death. Me not her. I am here staring into that grave. I am here looking at the coffin being lowered into the ground. I should be in there. She should be out here with her friends. Look at me. I am worrying about how I should be down there when I should be worried about how Tara is dealing with this whole thing. First she looses her mother which even I know how hard that is. Then loosing your best friend and soul mate in a single moment. I can't even again to imagine the pain that she must be feeling. I should see how she's doing.

Buffy looks up to see how Tara is.

Wait why is she running away? I should go after her. I can come back to night during patrol and say my good-byes by myself just the way I like it, alone.

Buffy takes off running.

Buffy: Tara wait up.

Tara: No I just want to get away.

Buffy: Get away from what?

Tara: Everything.

Buffy stopped her from walking and looked her in the eyes.

Buffy: Tara talk to me. What's up?

Tara: Willow.

Buffy: I know its hard and you miss her but we are all here to talk and help you through this. We are all here from each other.

Tara: No, not like that. Willow was ashamed of me.

Buffy: What are you talking about?

Tara: She never told her family about me or about the life that she lived.

Buffy: What?

Tara: Her family has no idea who I am. They are looking at me like I am a complete stranger.

Buffy: She never brought you to her house to meet her parents?

Tara: She always made some sort of excuse during the holidays so we didn't have to visit them.

Buffy: Tara, I'm really sorry. But I know for a fact that she was not ashamed of you. She was ashamed of her family.

Tara: Really?

Buffy: Will and her mom never got along real great and even I have never spent more then 10 min. in the same room as her dad.

Tara: I had no idea.

Buffy: Why don't we go back there and introduce you to her family. I think she would want that.

Tara: Are you sure they will except me?

Buffy: You can never be sure with the Rosenburgs'.

They walk back towards the family arms linked.

That's all. I know I said this was going to be the end but I am really not sure when I am going to end this. I just keep comin' up with more ideas. It will end at some point though I will promise you that.
