Discalimer- Buffy and Angel belong to the amazing Joss Whedon.

Chapter 3- Willow

'She was shy and soft-spoken; scared of everyone and everything, now her temper is starting to rival her hair. She has been my best friend since she took my advice too much to heart and seized the day with a vamp. My fault. She has changed so much since we met changed from men to women, changed from normal to witch. She has been my base, my touchstone in the storm that surrounds my life. I can be myself with her and she will understand. She understood my love for Angel, even when no one else could. She can read my heart in way only a true best friend can. She thinks she needs me, she'll be fine, She has Tara's love to give her strength, Xander's friendship to ground her, Dawn as a new sister, and eventually Giles will return to be her father.'

Buffy grins as she watches Tara kiss Willow to calm her down.

"Where has the time gone?"
