Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing Buffy related.
This is my second Willow/Tara fic. Like the last this is something I came up with one night after I had some problems with a friend. So I hope this is what you are all looking for in a Fic! Enjoy.
POV: Tara
I was in my dorm room at UC Sunnydale, lying on my bed working late on my research paper for Art History, when my kitten, Miss Kitty Fantastico, jumped onto my book. She was a grey kitten with dark charcoal tiger stripes. She was purring so I scratched her behind the ears.
"Hey you, I have to get this paper finished, go play with your bat toy." She jumped down and attacked the poor, worn, defenseless beanie baby. As I put the finishing touches on my paper, I hear a noise. I save my progress on Willow's paper, log out, and put it on the table. I get up and search the dorm. Nobody was there; normally that is a good thing, but not this time. Willow should have come home by now. She is probably just doing the Scoobies thing. I get into my pajamas and slide into my warm bed and drift into a deep sleep full of dreams.
The next day, I wake up and look to my side, she is not there. I get up, take a shower and change into jeans and one of Willow's sweaters. Since I did not have any classes today I decided to see if Willow stayed at Buffy's. She has lived there ever since Joyce died, to help Buffy and Dawn with little things. I ring the doorbell and wait. I can hear someone coming to the door.
"Good morning Dawnie!" She let me in and continues to gather her books for school. "Is Willow here? She didn't come home last night, so I just figured she was doing the Scooby thing." I smile and glance around looking for her. Dawn runs to the kitchen and fetches her lunch and returns to the living room where I am standing. She shoves the brown bag into her pink backpack.
"No she isn't here. I think she might be at the Magic Box with Buffy and Giles." She looks up worried. "Is everything okay?" I turn to her and smile.
"Oh yeah, everything is fine. I'm sure Will is with Buffy. D-do you need a ride to school?" Dawn finally finishes getting ready, zipping her book back and grabbing a jacket.
"No, it's cool. Jen is picking me up." A car horn honks outside, letting Dawn know her ride has arrived.
"Ok, but be careful. I will see you after school. Bye." I turn and wave to the fleeing teen.
"Bye Tara!" Dawn manages to tell back to me before closing the door. I remember how it felt to be a teenager. God I hated being a teen, so unsure of everything. Thank God those days are over! I walk up to Willow's room to see if there was a note. We shared this room as well as my dorm. On the dresser there was a picture of Willow and I sitting down in the back yard. Willow was behind me with her arms wrapped around me, her chin resting on my shoulder. I smile and leave the house on my way to the Magic Box.
