Buffy rolled her eyes as Anya and Xander continued to make out on the couch instead of helping gather the food.

"We got this," Willow mumbled as she walked pass the intertwined couple.

"Do you need assistance?" Xander asked as he finally pulled away from Anya's lips.

"There fine," Anya waved them off as she pulled Xander back towards her.

Buffy just rolled her eyes as she and Willow finished setting everything up.

"So what should we watch first?" Xander asked as he grabbed a handful of popcorn.

"We are waiting on just one more person," Buffy said as she took the empty seat next to Anya on the couch.

"Oh is it Riley?" Willow asked with a grin.

"No just a girl from one of my classes," Buffy answered as she prayed for someone to change the conversation before more questions were asked.

"So how is tour life treating ya?" Xander asked as he looked towards Oz who was seated on the floor next to Willow.

Buffy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good," Oz said as he watched Buffy who appeared nervous.

Everyone looked towards the door when they all heard a timid knock.

"I'll get it," Buffy said as she scrambled towards the door.

"Wonder why she hasn't mentioned this new girl to us?" Willow wondered with a huff once Buffy was out of ear shot.

"No clue," Xander said as his eyes stayed glued to the direction Buffy disappeared in.

"Hey you made it," Buffy said as she greeted Tara with a smile.

"I, I, I, got a little lost," Tara stammered.

"Well I'm really glad you're here," Buffy said with a smile as she ushered her inside.

Tara was nervous as she followed Buffy deeper into the basement that was also Xander's room.

Hey guys, this is Tara," Buffy said as she introduced the shy girl who was trying to hide behind her slayer girlfriend.

"Hey!" Everyone said cheerfully.

Tara waved awkwardly as she glanced around the room.

"Hey I'm Willow Buffy's best friend," Willow greeted her with a beam.

Hhhhi," Tara stammered.

Buffy frowned she knew Tara only stuttered when she was nervous, so she put a comforting hand on her back that went unnoticed by everyone except Oz.

I'm Xander," Xander said as he gave her a small wave. "And this is my girlfriend Anya."

Anya just nodded in her direction as she continued to sit impatiently waiting for the movie to start.

"Oz," Oz said as he nodded to Tara.

"Well let's start a movie," Buffy said as she took her original seat next to Anya who scooted over to make room for Tara.

Willow and Ox retook their seat in front of everyone on the floor as Xander hit play and Halloween started.

Buffy watched Tara from the corner of her eye as the movie played, she knew the other girl wasn't a fan of horror movies and only agreed to come because if her so she wanted to make sure she was okay.

"Are you okay?" she whispered to her girlfriend when she saw her jump.

Tara looked her towards her and smiled as she nodded yes.

Buffy grabbed a blanket from behind them and wrapped it around them as she took hold of Tara's hand.

Tara shot her a smile as she squeezed her girlfriends hand gratefully.

"Well that movie was horrible," Anya complained as the credits rolled.

"What?! Xander exclaimed as he glared at his girlfriend in shock.

"All someone had to do was wish him dead and I would have made it happen," Anya complained.

"Just because you're an ex vengeance demon doesn't mean you can kill Michael Myers," Xander complained.

"Xander!" Willow scolded him as her eyes shot to a confused looking Tara.

"My bad," Xander mumbled.

"Its okay guys she knows I'm the slayer," Buffy assured everyone as she squeezed Tara's hand before standing up and stretching.

"She what?" Willow asked hurt as she stood up as well.

"I saved her from a vamp, kind had to come clean," Buffy said as she grabbed some candy wrappers and walked towards the trash Willow hot on her heels.

"So you just told her?" Willow asked as she folded her arms and glared at her best friend.

"What was I supposed to tell her?" Buffy shot back.

"That you're trained in martial arts or something," Willow snapped.

"Look she won't say anything," Buffy tried to reason with her best friend.

"Better hope she doesn't," Willow said with a huff as she stormed back towards where the other were.

Buffy frowned as she watched her storm off.

"She will get over it," Oz said as he walked up.

"I hope so," Buffy said defeated as she picked up one of Xander's action figures ansd pretended to be interested in it.

"Tara seems nice," Oz saod as he glared on her direction.

"She is," Buffy said with a smile.

"I won't say anything," Oz said as he turned back towards her.

"What?" Buffy asked as she dropped the action figure.

"Your secret is safe with me," Oz said with a knowing smirk.

Buffy gave him a small smile, "are we that obvious?"

"Maybe not to them," Oz said as he nodded to the others who were absorbed in another movie.

Buffy just laughed as she looked back towards Oz, "thank you."

"No problem," Oz said as he gave her a small smile before turning around and heading back towards his waiting girlfriend who greeted him with a small kiss.

"Everything okay?" Tara asked as she walked towards her girlfriend who seemed zoned out.

"Everything is great," Buffy said as she grabbed her jacket. "Want to get out of here?"

Tara just nodded yes.

"Hey guys we are getting out of here!" Buffy called to her friends as she opened the door.

"Aww but it's still early," Xander complained as he paused the movie and walked towards Buffy.

"Gotta patrol," Buffy lied as she gave him a hug.

"Lame," Xander said with a smile as he turned towards Tara and gave her a hug which she awkwardly returned.

"Nice to meet you," he said once it ended.

"Likewise," Tara said as she gave him a shy smile.

See you guys later," Oz called from his spot beside Willow.

Anya just waved as her eyes stayed glued to the movie.

"Bye Willow," Buffy called to her best friend who refused to make eye contact.

"Bye," Willow mumbled as she continued to not make eye contact.

Buffy just frowned as she cast one last look at her best friend before closing the door.

"I'm sorry your friend is mad at you," Tara said sadly as she and Buffy walked back towards her dorm.

Buffy stopped causing Tara to run into her, "hey it's not your fault."

Tara just smiled as she took her girlfriend's hand and led her into her dorm.

"Stay?" Tara asked as she took both of Buffy's hands in her own.

"Of course," Buffy said as she kissed her lightly.
