Chapter Six-Love at First Sight Again and The Harvest

The door opened. It was a woman older than Willow. She told herself that she was probably Tara's mom.

"May I help you?" the woman at the door asked.

"Hello. My name is Willow. I'm a friend of Tara's," Willow replied.

"Ah, yes. Come in," she opened the door wider and Willow came in, "If you don't mind me asking, are you a witch?"

"Um...yeah. Why?" the red-head asked, wondering how Tara's mom could tell.

"I read people's auras. And, well, yours has a sense of great power. And if I'm not mistaken, you have knowledge of the future. Am I right?" Tara's mom gave Willow a questioning look.

"Yeah. I don't know about great power b-Tara! Hey!" Willow said, but the realized that Tara didn't know her yet.

"Um...h-hi. Who are you?" Tara asked, a little bewildered.

"Oh, that's right! You don't know me. You do, but you don't. Because we've never met before. Well, we kind of have but- no. I just realized that I'm babbling. I do that a lot. My name's Willow," Willow held out her hand. And a smiling Tara shook it.

"Well, I'll leave you girls alone. It seems that Willow has a lot to tell you, Tara," Tara's mom said and then left the room.

"Okay, Mom!" Tara yelled, "Um...so w-why are y-you here?" the blonde witch asked, still really confused.

"This is going to take a very LONG explanation, so prepare yourself," the Willow paused, "Uh, actually, I think I could use a glass of water before I tell you, if you don't mind. Thank you," she said as Tara started to get up. Then she came back out with two glasses of water.

"Thanks," Willow said as she took a sip.l

"You're welcome," Tara said-without stuttering.

"Okay, then," Willow said-ready to start, "I'll fully understand if you don't believe a word that I say, because the first time I heard it, I was in shock. First of all, demons, witches, and the supernatural exist. You need to know that for the next thing that I'm going to tell you. I'm from 6 years in the future," she stopped and waited for a response.

"I believe you. B-but why would you come to see me?" Tara asked.

"Well...um...you're my...um...girlfriend in the future," Willow finally blurted out.

"Oh. Well that explains a lot," Tara said, now with a look of resolution on her face.

"Explains what?" Willow asked. Now it was her with the look of confusion on her face.

"Well, I have a sense of familiarity...an w-well, um, love for you," Tara said shakily.

"Oh. Yeah that does, doesn't it?" Willow said, as it was her turn to talk shakily.

"It's okay. I completely understand. I could get to know you better and...," Tara stopped.

"Oh, Tara! I'm so happy!" Willow got up and gave Tara a hug. Once she realized that Tara was uncomfortable, she pulled away.

"And there's one more thing, Tara," Willow said, "and I'm not sure how you're going to respond to it. You ready?"

"I th-think so," Tara said.

"When you turn seventeen, take really good care of your mom. Because before, she got sick and well...died," Willow said as calmly as she could.

Tara's eyes stared filling up with tears, but she was strong. She wouldn't let them fall.

"But...no...th-that c-can't happen," the blonde told WIllow, still trying very hard not to let the tears fall.

"As long as we make sure that she stays healthy, there's nothing to worry about," Willow assured her.

"O-o-okay," Tara finally stated, "Um...do you want to go into L.A. and do some shopping? I really need to clear my head. Is that okay?" she asked, making sure that Willow was okay with it.

"Sure," Willow said. Then she watched Tara get up and call to her mom-a little uneasily- and then she grabbed her purse. Willow led the way out. They got in the car and headed out onto the highway.

Meanwhile back in Sunnydale...

Buffy, Spike, Angel, Xander, and Giles were outside the Bronze. The vampires weren't there yet, so that was a good sign. So they all went in the Bronze.

"So, how did you know this event was going to occur?" Giles asked, still very confused about what was going on.

"Long story. We'll explain later," Buffy said, picking a table and sitting down at it.

"Alright, then," Spike said so that everyone could hear him,"Anyone want a drink? On me."

Everyone raised their hands. But then they realized something. They weren't of the drinking age. Spike seemed to have read their minds.

"I'm going up, remember? They can't say that I'm younger than 21, now can they?" he said with a slight smile.

Everyone at the table chuckled. He started to go up, but all of a sudden the lights went out. There were screams from around the entire night club.

"Showtime," Buffy said, getting out a stake. She started to sneak towards the stage. Luke was blabbing about something. Just before he was about to bite the bouncer, she interrupted him.

"Hey, moron!" she said from behind him. He turned around, dropped the bouncer, and growled at her. 'Oh yeah,' she thought, 'This is going to be so easy, seeing that he falls for everything. Yes, sir. I've got a plan. A good plan.'

"Who dares speak to me in that tone?" Luke said with his deep, almost fake voice.

"I dare," she said, not hesitating a bit.

"And who might you be?" he asked.

"I'm-oh my God. The Master!" Buffy said almost screaming.

Luke smiled and turned around, "Welcom-," but all of a sudden he felt a sharp wooden stick go through his heart.

"I told you that you were a moron," Buffy said a matter-of-factilly. Then she walked over to her friends.

It was Giles who broke the silence, "How did you do that so easliy?" he asked, bewildered.

"Experience," Buffy replied. The entire gang smiled. But then Buffy realized something. Angel was gone. And so was Spike.

"Where are Angel and Spike?"
