Part 4

Willow was standing at the window of the master suite in Buffy's house. She'd been living at the Summers' residency for what 6, 7 years now? She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear her girlfriend walk in

"Penny for your thoughts" Tara's sweet voice broke her reverie

"Penny?" she turned around and wrapped her arms around the blonde's waist "since when have you become cheap?" she said kissing her girlfriend soundly

"Is she okay?" Willow asked referring to their child

"Yeah…it's just a small fever" Tara answered moving towards the closet

"What about you?" Willow asked tentatively

"Me? What about me?"

"Tara, your behavior today was…weird" Willow sighed

"You're talking about the smoking?" Tara asked smiling, receiving a nod as an answer she continued "baby I was just messing with Spike"

"What about the rebel thing?" something was bugging the redhead "you never told me anything about having a 'rebel phase'…a-and your eyes"

"My eyes?" Tara raised a questioning eyebrow

"Yeah…when I looked at your eyes, just for a second, they were…different" Willow said in a troubled tone

"Different how?"

"I don't know…like you weren't…yourself" she sighed and ran a hand through her red locks

"Like I was possessed or something?" Tara asked upset

"No…I didn't sense a fragmented energy or anything" she answered referring to Tara's explanation on how she new Buffy wasn't Buffy when they first met "it was just…not you"

"Come here baby" Tara took Willow's hand in hers and pulled her closer "look at me…what you see?" she asked locking green with blue

"My blue babies" she answered relieved

"Okay, do you want to play a game?" Tara asked with a teasing smile

"What kind of game?" Willow lifted a curious eyebrow

"A game to prove that I am…me" Tara raised both eyebrows in a playful manner

"And how are you gonna do that?" Willow crossed her arms challengingly

"Okay" Tara walked both of them to the bed "you can ask me any question, but…" she moved behind Willow "it has to be a personal question…something only you and I know of" she was whispering seductively into the redhead's ear "our questions" Willow was becoming dizzy not only because of Tara's sweet voice but also because of the light kisses the blonde was planting on her neck and ear

"Okay" she answered weakly

"But…"

"But?"

"But every correct answer I give, you must remove a piece of your clothing" she nibbled Willow's ear softly "what do you say?"

"Vixen"

Buffy, Tara and Ariel were in the kitchen having breakfast when they heard Faith walk in

"Okay, how do I look?" the brunette slayer asked posing for appreciation; the three blondes in the kitchen stared mutely at her until Buffy broke the silence with a very appreciative whistle

"You look…hot" answered the slayer almost drooling

"Aw, thank you baby" she said rewarding her girlfriend with a wet kiss

"So Faith…"Tara asked when the slayers parted "where are you going so…"

"Hot" Ariel completed the sentence making the adults giggle

"Well, I have a job interview" Faith informed pouring a glass of juice

"Oh, is that today?" Buffy asked and Faith nodded while drinking her juice

"Nice…and are you planning on seducing the interviewer?" Tara asked playfully

"Actually" Faith started but yelped after receiving a poke on her waistline "I'm kidding…it's in a gym, so I'm planning on showing them that I work out"

"Gym, huh?" Buffy raised a suspicious eyebrow

"yeah, they're looking for a martial arts instructor" she explained "you know…self defense, kick boxing…this kind of stuff" she moved to finish arranging her backpack "since I've been practicing on daily basis for almost ten years now, I thought why not getting paid to kick people's asses" she settled the backpack on her shoulders

"Ah Faith…you do realize that you're not gonna get paid for that, right?" Tara asked reasonably

"Yeah, baby" Buffy join in "they're going to pay you to TEACH how to kick people's asses"

"Potatoes…potatoes" she waved her hands dismissingly "alright, I'm out of here" she moved to Buffy and kissed her on the lips again and then moved to Tara and kissed her on the cheek "where's Red?"

"Oh, she went to LA…business meeting…she'll be here by night fall" Tara informed

"Cool" Faith nodded and turned to Ariel "bye kiddo…wish me luck"

"Luck" Ariel answered cheerfully; Faith laughed and kissed her

"Hey, you still warm…drink your fluids"

"Okay"

"Bye"

The interview was a total success; Faith's plan worked as a charm and the interviewer was totally seduced by her…assets. After settling everything about her new job, she decided to take a walk downtown and enjoy the nice sunny afternoon. She hadn't walked much far from the gym when something caught her eye

"Red?" she questioned aloud

She saw Willow sitting at a table on the outside of a café talking to a gorgeous blonde woman

"I'll be damned" Faith was trying hard to keep her temper in check, but she decided to find out why Willow had lied to Tara. She approached the couple without them noticing her presence; using her slayer hearing she got a bit of their conversation

"Willow, I can assure you total satisfaction...or your money back" the blonde said with a smile on her lips

"Well…I'm very demanding" Willow answered

"Nobody has ever complained about my work" she said taking a sip of her iced tea

"Hello Red…am I interrupting something?" she said narrowing her eyes at the redhead

"Faith?"
