Title: Complicated
Summary: --Sequel to "I Don't Want To Be Alone"-- Buffy's living in New York, sharing an apartment with her best friend from the foster home, Willow. Xander and Nikki live in the same building, a floor up from the two. All four attend NYU and life is starting to make sense again. Until someone returns from their past and shakes things up.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from BtVS or AtVS or anyone who belongs to someone else. You know who they are. I do own people such as Nikki.
.:a/n:. I was going to ask if you wanted Willow to be straight or a lesbian, but I decided to make that decision on my own. Hope you're okay with it.

The clubs were hopping (.:a/n:. sorry, just always wanted to say that, lol) and the five friends were looking hotter than ever.
Buffy was wearing a black mini dress that tied around her neck like a halter-top, and her blonde hair was pulled back. Nikki was dressed in a tight pair of black flared pants, and a black halter-top similar to Buffy's dress. And Willow was in a pair of red pants, with a red tank top that she covered with a black leather jacket.
The guys were dressed each in similar clothes. Xander had on a pair of baggy jeans and loose black top that hung over the belt of his pants. Noah wore a pair of black jeans and a dark red shirt.
(.:a/n:. Yeah, I suck at clothes. And it was probably a waste of time, but I wanted to let you know)
"C'mon, lets dance," Nikki said, pulling on Xander's shirt and signaling with her finger to follow her as she walked backwards to the dance floor.
"You too," Buffy said, taking Noah's hand. But she stopped and turned back around. "Willow, you can come too."
"Thanks, but big on the no thanks. I'm fine sitting here, alone. The beer will keep me company," she said, taking a drink out of the mug that she held.
"Okay. We'll be back soon," Buffy said as the two disappeared into the crowd of dancers.
Willow watched as they left and soon her smile faded. 'And then there was Willow. Always alone, with no one to dance with,' she thought, letting out a sigh. 'I feel a self pity party coming on.'
"I saw you sitting over here alone and thought you might like some company," someone said from behind her. She turned around quickly and could feel herself melt inside when she saw her. She had long brown hair, and gorgeous green eyes. She had a friendly smile on her face, showing off a small, barely noticeable pair of dimples. "If you want me to go far away, I will."
"Huh?" she asked, snapping out of her daze. "No, no, sit please."
"I'm Emily."
"Willow."
"Like a tree," she said, and Willow could feel her cheeks blushing. "Oh no, I didn't mean that in a bad way. Trees are good. They give us oxygen. And paper."
"So, you're here alone?"
"I was here with a friend. But he seemed to disappear into thin air."
"Ah, me too. Well, not really. They're dancing. But they're . . ."
"Couples," she nodded. "I know the feeling." She paused. "Dance? Unless, you aren't . . . I mean I understand if you're not into . . . Sometimes I act before I think."
'You are here to get out there Willow. This would definitely be getting out there,' she thought. "I am, and I'd love to. Dance, that is."

"So this Emily girl, what's she like?" Buffy asked Willow as the two sat in their living room. Buffy crossed her legs underneath her and watched as Willow thought about how to say it.
"She's cute, very cute. And she's nice. Very nice. Oh, and funny."
"Funny is good," Buffy said. "And she just came over to you and asked you to dance?"
"Well, we had a little before conversation. Like, hello, how are you? But yeah, she did." She paused. "That's good though, right? I-I mean, it's not a bad sign?"
"No, that's a good sign. It means he's interested."
"She-She asked me out again, too."
"And you just forgot to mention this?" Buffy asked, in an excited tone. "When?"
"No set date yet, she said she'd call. But she hasn't."
"Will, it's only been a few hours," Buffy laughed. "Give the girl some time."
"Right. It's just been a long time since I've been so happy with someone. Its hard to contain," Willow said, smiling.
"I've noticed. Now, if you don't mind, I think I need to get to sleep. My eyelids are drooping and my body feels like it's going to collapse," she said, standing. "You coming?"
"Eventually," Willow said. "But not right now. I don't think I'd be able to get to sleep. Jay Leno is calling my name."
Buffy laughed. "Alright. Well, I'll see you in the morning."
"Night Buffy," Willow said, turning on the TV as her friend disappeared into her room.
~Yeah, it should probably have been Tara that she met. But I really can't write Tara. Not that I can write Willow, Buffy, Xander or Spike. But I don't know. Just, don't hate me~
