Willow couldn't believe it. There he stood. He had his hands in his pockets and a weird grin on his face.

"Hey," was all he said.

"Hi. Why are you here?" She was dumbstruck; she couldn't believe he was here.

"To see you. I just wanted to see how you were."

"Oh." A million things were going through Willow's brain, but nothing seemed to make it to her mouth.

"Are you going to invite me in?"

"Um... Oh! Yes, yes, come in." She moved to the side and let him through the door. As she closed the door she remembered why she was leaving to begin with. Kennedy. God, she wanted to see her. How could she now? Everything just kept getting more and more screwed up.

"This is a nice place."

"Yeah, I um...yeah."

He turned around from looking at the apartment and smiled at her. "How have you been?"

"I've been good."

"I went to Sunnydale or you know the there lack of."

"Yeah, great big, giant hole."

"I take it that was your guy's doing."

"We stopped the First, activated all the potential slayers in the world." Saying potential slayer made her think of her Slayer, Kennedy. She almost began to cry again, but Oz's voice stopped her.

"You look different." He said coming closer to her.

"I am different. A lot of things have changed since you left. A lot of things."

"Like?"

"Buffy died...again, we defeated a hell god, Xander left Anya at the alter, she became a vengeance demon again, but couldn't do that anymore. Tara was murdered. I went evil and killed the guy who did it, nearly destroyed the world, Xander stopped me. We had the big First apocalypse. I'm madly in love with one of the potential Slayers I activated and we just broke up and now you're here which is just..."

"Willow, breathe."

"Right, sorry."

"You've obviously been through quite a bit."

She nodded and sat her keys and jacket down on the table. She slumped down into the sofa. Oz sat down on the edge of the coffee table.

"Why are you here?" She said with a sigh. She didn't want to think anymore. It was all just becoming too unreal.

"I know with everything that happened, I am probably the last person you want to see right now, but I was in Tibet and I was remembering us. How we use to be before Veruca and-"

"Stop. Oz, this is all just happening entirely to fast. Yesterday my girlfriend, she left me. I am barely functioning on a human level and I just need a minute to process."

"I'm sorry."

"No. It's really good you're here. I haven't seen you in like years, but I cannot handle anything right now, especially you here wanting us. It's just-It's just too much." She began to cry. Oz came over and sat next to her. Practically cradling her.

"What happened?"

"I couldn't tell her I love her. She just sprung it on me and I got scared. Everyone I love leaves, Tara, you, now Kennedy. I just want her to come back. I want her to hold me and tell me I can do it. Tell me that she'll be there for me every step of the way."

"Can I be here?"

She looked up at him and laughed. He wiped a tear away. "Yes."

She cuddled up into him and continued to cry as he continued to comfort.

"So, Tara died and you killed the guy who did it?"

"Yeah, I flayed him alive."

"Well." He processed this.

"I guess I get the whole loss of control thing now, huh?"

"Looks like." They pulled up to the Council and Oz turned off the van.

"You sure you want to see all these crazy people again?"

"Yeah. Faith went to prison?"

Willow laughed. "Come on, Oz."

They got out of the van and walked through the front doors. Willow was in front of Oz.

"Willow, great. You're here. I sent Buffy and Faith to-" Giles stopped when he saw who Willow was with.

"Oz showed up yesterday." Willow said then added a smile.

"Okay. How have you been Oz?"

"Good."

"That's um...well that's good then."

"Giles, me and Robin finished putting the-" Xander stopped as he entered from the training room, Robin behind him.

"Xander, what the hell are you doing?" Robin asked, running into him.

"That's Oz." Xander said.

"Who's Oz?"

"I'm Oz."

"I got that. Who are you?"

"He's my um...ex-boyfriend."

"You had a boyfriend?"

"Yes, Robin, I had a boyfriend. Hey wait, Giles, where did you send Buffy and Faith?"

"Italy. They went to retrieve a Slayer the coven called about. She's supposed to be trained in martial arts."

"Oh."

"So Oz is your ex-boyfriend?"

"Again yes, Robin. Xander stop staring at him."

"I'm not."

"Why do you have an eye patch on?" Oz asked.

"Caleb gouged it out."

"Caleb?"

"The First's buttmonkey." He replied.

"But if you had a boyfriend, why did you get a Kennedy?"

"I didn't get a Kennedy. I got a Tara. Uh...Tara. Not a Tara."

"When did Faith and Buff leave?"

"This morning."

"Okay, well would you mind if I was to go away today."

"No, of course not. Xander, Robin, and I've got it."

"Uh huh. Where are Andrew and Dawn?"

"Dawn went out with friends or something and Andrew is still in the training room." Xander answered.

"We're gonna go then." She walked out.

"Bye, guys." Oz smiled at them and then followed Willow.

It had been nearly two weeks since the breakup. Willow and Oz had been spending everyday together. Oz had been staying on the couch. They had been about everything that had happened in the last few years to the both of them.

Buffy had returned from the trip and wouldn't tell Willow where Faith went. Willow was pretty sure she went to see Kennedy.

Willow missed Kennedy. She wanted to see her so bad. She knew she couldn't though. Kennedy had to come to her. She had to come back on her –

There was a knock on the door. She sighed and got up from the sofa. Oz was getting in the shower, so she had to get it.

She walked over to the door and opened it. There stood Kennedy. Willow felt her eyes widen.

"Hey, Will, I uh...needed to talk to you."

"Kennedy."

"I know everything got really screwed up and I left and it all happened so-"

"Willow, I can't find my clean shirt."

Kennedy looked past Willow and saw Oz, without his shirt. "Fast."

Oz, seeing Kennedy. "Oh, hi there."
