Chapter 5

Some days later.

Extract from Dawn's diary (ever wonder how I get into the girl's diary? I'm the narrator, an all powerful omnipresent being! lol)

I've been feeling better I guess, this time of year is always gonna hurt, but she was the Slayer, she knew what she was getting into. That's twice she's sacrificed herself for me now...I miss her, it hurts. Something just struck me about the day I walked around uni, there was a girl there, she looked alone but there was something in her eyes, something that tells me she has been through some hurt as well, I dunno. Anyway, I have to get my stuff together. First day of uni!!!"

"Mmff," Tara draws away from the kiss, her hand on Willow's naked thigh and moving up to her stomach, her other hand around the back of Willow's neck, feeling one of Willow's hands in her hair and the other on her lower back.

"That was goooood," Willow moans, Willow catches a look at the clock. "Erm Tara?"

"Yeah sweetie?"

"Dawn needs a lift."

Tara draws away giving Willow the full benefit of her naked lover's pout. "But this is fun."

Willow smiles, "Yeah, and we got responsibilities like making sure we get Dawn to uni cos if Dawnie missed uni on her first day I'm guessing they wouldn't like it." Willow stops for breath and thinks a while before saying, "besides we can get up to am lot more with her out the house baby."

"Yeah, thanks for that," Dawn calls from out the door in passing, "way to make me feel appreciated...I'll just go downstairs and sulk and eat my breakfast." Dawn used her sulky child voice, no big.

"Yeah, we'll both go."

"Okies, we can go shopping later," Willow smiled.

...

An alarm clock goes off on a bedside table, a pale skinned hand reaches across and taps the top, the clock doesn't stop, the hand tries a few times before just slamming the clock face down. "Shut up," a voice mutters, irate, "I know it's the first day of uni and I'll BE UP IN A MINUTE!" The clock gives one more beep, as if in protest shuts off. Sarah stretches, enspelling a clock was a nice trick...it's just hard to shut it up when it goes off...at least it doesn't talk.

...

In the lecture hall, the students file in for a lecture on Ancient Mythology. Dawn sat near the centre of the mass of benches with a notepad and pen ready. She thought she could feel a pair of eyes watching her, further back but didn't turn around.

Further back, Sarah sat in her chair, there was that girl again, the one girl to notice her, she looked ok, well more than ok, kinda cute, if you like the whole blonde thing.

Down at the front of the hall, the lecturer introduced himself. "Hey all, my name is Brad and I am going to take you through the fascinating world that is mythology..."

...

Willow and Tara walk down the street hand in hand, shopping bags in each witch's free hand. Tara pulled towards a little sideshop, "I'm hungry sweetie, I'm just gonna get some chocolate." They walked in and Willow stopped, looking at a paper with the words, emblazoned on the front page, "Another disappearance, "It seems he was spirited away.""
