"So, who wants to go first?" asked Spike.

"Isn't it obvious?" asked Dawn.

"Not from where I'm standing it ain't" snided Xander.

"Xander, would you just but out for ten minutes. Can't you see you've already caused enough damage" snapped Willow.

"She loves you Spike" smiled Tara as he looked shocked.

"Did she say that?" asked Spike doubtfully.

"Well, not exactly" admitted Dawn.

"Then I suggest you leave her alone" snapped Spike as he stood up and walked off.

"Willow, Tara, how can you say such awful things?" snapped Xander.

"Cause if you opened your eyes you'd see it for yourself" retorted Willow as she grabbed Tara's hand and lead her into the kitchen.

"Tara, I just wanted to thank you again for standing up for me with Xander and Anya"

"Hey" she soothed. "I couldn't watch them gang up on you"

"I know, but, it meant a lot" smiled Willow.

"I know, and I'm sorry I haven't been more supportive until now"

"Hey, it's not your fault. I didn't deserve it" soothed Willow.

"Well you've certainly earned it now. Although that still isn't really an excuse, but from now on, I will be there no matter what, I promise."

Tara:

Will I always be there for you?
When you need someone, will I be that one you need?
Will I do all my best to; to protect you
when the tears get near your eyes
will I be the one that's by your side?

Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your life?
I promise, I promise
I promise I will

Will I take tender care of you?
Take your darkest night, and make it bright for you?
Will I be there to make you strong, and to lean on?
When this world has turned so cold
will I be the one that's there to hold?

Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your life?
I promise, I promise
I promise I will, yeah

And I love you more every day
And nothing will take that love away
When you need someone
I promise I'll be there for you

Will I be there when you call me in the middle of the night?
Will I keep the rain from falling down into your life?
I promise, I promise
I promise I will

They leant forward and shared a tender kiss.

Author's note - ok, firstly i want to say a big thank you to all my reviewers, they are all really sweet. Secondly, the song is Stacie Orrico - I promise. It's a really sweet song and if you go to 'cd zinc dot com' and search for that song, you can listen to it and agree with me! (BTW, you can do this for all of the songs except the first one from hercules). Nessiexxx
