Summers' house, morning: in the Kitchen
Andrew and a few potentials were fighting over the last bowl of corn pops and Dawn was making tea to bring to Willow and Faith. Buffy came downstairs, glaring at Dawn. "What are you up to?" She said. "I'm making tea for Willow." "Oh.... Is she awake? How is she? I don't know. I haven't heard anything. I let her with Faith for the night." "You WHAT?!" Everyone stopped in their tracks. All that was heard in the kitchen was the sound of Andrew dropping his spoon.
Buffy ran out of the kitchen and headed for Willow's room. Dawn followed. "Buffy, leave them alone." "Dawn go back in the kitchen and eat your breakfast." "Buffy, they're sleeping you'll wake them up." "How do you know they're sleeping?" "I checked in on them when I woke up. They looked peaceful. I'm still going to make them tea. You know Faith will kick your ass if you wake her up." "Ok. You have a point. I still want to talk to Willow."
----- Meanwhile, Kennedy was in the bathroom and overheard Dawn say that Faith had slept in Willow's room. That was her spot, and Faith was in it. She was jealous and not to mention- pissed.
Kennedy stormed out of the Bathroom, shoved her way passed Buffy and kicked open the door to Willow's room. When she saw Willow lying there with Faith by her side, she did all she could think to do.
Kennedy screamed like an angry teenager and pulled Faith up out of the bed by her shoulders. Faith, still wishing she was asleep, forced herself to open her eyes. She was shocked to find Kennedy holding her up by her throat and not Buffy.
"What's the deal? Get your grubby hands off me."
"Get your grubby hands off my girlfriend!"
"Woah, hold up there, sister. I didn't touch your girlfriend."
Willow opened her eyes and sat up finally realizing what was going on around her. She had such a headache. "Kennedy get let go of Faith." Willow said in a sleepy voice.
"Baby, I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."
"Didn't meant to wake me up?! You ripped Faith out of the bed and started yelling. You what? Thought I wouldn't notice?" Willow was more awake now, but the headache was still pounding. She must have sat up too fast. Kennedy could tell she had been crying, "Willow what did she do to you?"
"She listened. I talked and she listened. That's more than you ever do Ken." Willow's eyes shift in another direction "–Faith could you?"
"Sure thing Red. I don't mind. I'll be in the basement if you need me."
"Thanks Faith." Faith headed for the basement but was intercepted by Buffy and Dawn.
"What's going on up there?"
"It's ok, B. They're just talking. Kennedy tried to strangle me to death in my sleep."
"You were caught off guard? Faith? Must have been pretty relaxed up there with Will?"
"Red's a nice girl. I was just lookin out for her."
"OK, who are you and what have you done with Faith?"
"No sweat, B. Everyone changes sometimes you know. I'm still the same old Faith, just with a little twist."
"I'm going to bring Willow some tea."
"Dawn, maybe you should give them a few minutes, let them talk out their differences."
"uhghh! Ok," Dawn grumbled as she stomped off to the living room.
"Thanks B, for trusting me with Willow."
"Look Faith. I'm not so sure about you yet. I'm trying to forgive you. I am. I just need time to get used to the fact that you're a different person."
"What you can forgive Spike and Willow, but not me? I see how it is. I'm still the bad slayer. You'll always be better than me."
Faith turned away and continued on to the basement.

"Kennedy don't you remember anything I said to you yesterday?"
"Yeah but Faith could have killed you."
"Kennedy when I said I wanted time away from you, I meant it." Willow pointed to her own face.
"Yeah, yeah, I see the resolve face. I just wanted to protect you from Faith."
"No, you didn't, you wanted to rip Faith a new one for sleeping next to me. She's not like you think she is. She's changed."
"So why don't you go and be her girlfriend then?"
"Kennedy you don't get it. I'm not ready for a relationship. There are things I need to deal with in my life before I can let somebody in again."
"You let her in," Kennedy said, putting her head down.
"I was vulnerable. Nothing happened. We just talked."
"Great she probably knows more about you than I do now."
"I didn't tell her my life story. I just told her about Tara." Kennedy rolled her eyes.
"See! That. That's why I can't talk to you about anything. How can I be in a relationship with someone who rolls her eyes every time I try to mention the woman I'm still trying to get over?"
"Why is it so hard for you to just forget her." Willow looked very hurt and tears formed in her eyes. "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean—"
"That's why I can't do this Kennedy. I can't forget her. Not yet. And when you kissed me, that's what I did, even if for just one second. I forgot about Tara and that's why I turned into Warren."
"So you're angry at me? Angry that I made you forget? You need to move on Will."
"Yeah but in my own time Kennedy. Not when you're ready, when I'm ready when we're both ready."
"When will you be ready?"
"I don't know, but if you really care about me you won't have a problem waiting until I am. I'm not angry at you. I just don't think you're mature enough to understand. You never listen to me. That's why I did what I did last night."
"You're not ready for a relationship but you'll sleep with Faith? That, I don't get."
"She was just making sure I was ok. I asked her to stay because I was scared. She actually listened to me. Nothing happened between us. She just let me do what I needed to."
"Ok, it's all about you." Kennedy looked at the floor. "I guess I'll be on my way then." With that Kennedy left the room, slamming the door on her way out. Willow jumped a little. She layed back down and rolled over, facing herself away from the door. Tightly holding her pillow, the red head began to cry.
