Part 8-
They made their way into the kitchen where Dawn was preparing an after school snack. Tara released Willow's hand to go and start to good her specialty, Pancakes. Willow got out all the ingredients as Tara got the cooking equipment out. Dawn watched as they moved fluidly through the kitchen, looking longley at each other every opportunity they got, which was all the time, except when they were making sure they had grabbed the right tool or dish/container. The young high school sat their and just watched in awe; hoping that she'd be this lucky to find and have someone in her life that she was madly in-love with and they'd be madly in-love with her, too. Running on automatic seemed like such a blissful state. These two women stood before and represented so much power, yet it was good power, that it was increased ten-fold by their love. She promised herself that if true love presented it before that she'd grab and hold on for dear life. No matter what package it came in. Human Male, Human Female, Vampire Male, Vampire Female, Demon Male, Demon Female, An Asexual being, or whatever. Living in Hell Mouth Central, having a Slayer for a sister, being a potential future Slayer, having friends that were witches/vampires/demons kind of help you to be a little more tolerant, understanding, and makes you want to get to know the person before making any kind of judgment. Dawn sat their mused to herself as The Wiccan Lovers finished making themselves some nourishment. However, she was startled out of her thoughts by Buffy and Xander coming through the back door.
"Hey, you two! Decided to grace us with your company I see." The shaggy construction foreman quizzically uttered.
"Dawn told me this morning on the way to work and after me Xander resolved our own problem, I told him all about you two being back together again. Hopefully forever, congratulations! I am glad to have this house filled with joy and peace again. It feels good!" Buffy explained with a smile upon her face.
Swallowing the final bite of her snack, Willow just smiled and turned to lock eyes with Tara before simply saying only "Me, too, Buffy! Me, too!"
Tara sat in finished her bigger stack but beamed with sheer happiness that lit the entire house. Which made everyone's eyes shine brighter as their smiles grew wider beyond their capacity but without in discomfort.
Buffy and Xander had made themselves a Chicken with Cheese sandwiches as Tara finished and the Wiccan Lovers wiped off their dishes and loaded them. All four of the friends were having a celebratory glass of sparkling white grape juice. They laughed and reminisced for about an hour. When they were startled out of their revere by the front door being kicked in and slamming against they stairs, as it was freed from it's hinges.
