*****

It was late, the moon was high and she was just happy she didn't know any werewolves. But that wasn't enough in Sunnydale so she walked as fast as she could. Suddenly a dark figure came out of nowhere. Well, not exactly dark cause it's hair was kind of unnaturally blond. He bowed, - as a 19th century gentleman would - looked up and said, ironically "Spike at your service"

Before he could stand straight a blonde girl came out of nowhere and kicked him in the stomach "Good evening Spike"

"Oh great, look who joined the party! You know, this sucks. I mean, you'd think a guy could even try to have fun without being interrupted by genetically-screwed fucking assholes or whatever you are! Could you tell me what are you again anyway, the last time you tried I lost interest when I saw your ego, and believe me, it was the first thing I saw, that thing is huge!"

"Oh, spare me and beat it"

Spike stared at the girl. Hell, she was the chosen one, what was he to do but escape? So he turned and walked away "Nice seeing you too, Blondie"

The slayer watched him leave and turned to Tara "Are you alright?"

"I'm ok, Buffy"

The slayer frowned "How do you know my name?"

Ouch. "Willow"

"You know Willow?"

Tara wondered if she should have said that since Will wanted her 'all to herself '. She blushed "Well, we've been�friends�for sometime now�" Without understanding, Buffy looked at her awkwardly. Well, something needed to be said but nothing really came to mind. So they looked at each other, since there was nothing else to do. That's when Tara noticed some blood on the slayer's shirt "Oh, your hurt"

"Yeah, I was fighting some demons before I came here"

The other girl's face was locked on the wound "My house is just around the corner, please come in and let me take care of that"

At first Buffy thought of saying no cause she had to have dinner at her mom's, but then again the other blonde seemed so trustful and she was way too tired to hear her mother's concerns. "Ok, sure"

As they walked Buffy felt someone was watching them. She looked around but saw no one besides some old couple and she wasn't crazy enough to be suspicious about them. Not yet anyway. So she ignored the feeling and got in.

Oh, but she shouldn't have done that, there was a dark angel after her and she should've known. She should have been aware that this would happen sooner or later. But no, she was way too good to think about Faith. She'd pay for that.

The wind was blowing hard on the slayer's face as she walked with no destination. Shit, what day was today? You know, when you're in a coma you lose track of time. Yeah, when you're in a coma you lose a lot of things but what she'd missed the most was sex. Well, what else did she have to miss anyway? Buffy took all the energy she had to love and the Scooby gang was never really thrilled to see her. Yep, sex was the only good thing happening on the last months before the coma. She used to pick up some girl at whichever bar was closer. God, those few drunken moments were so good, she'd just drown in the girl's lips, nothing else mattered. But that was over too, she'd realize at the end of the night she was lonely again, actually even lonelier than before so she wouldn't do that no more, it wasn't worth.

Suddenly, Faith waked from her thoughts and found herself in front of Joyce's place. Fuck, that was so ironic; there she was thinking of sex and suddenly she's 6 feet apart from the foxiest mom in Sunnydale. She stood in front of the door, thought of knocking, remembering Joyce's body. Man, it was definitely worth the effort. She knocked. After a while a tall blonde figure opened the door. She didn't say anything, just stood there speechless, not believing her eyes. Faith smirked."What? A cat got your tongue or something?"

The woman seemed scared "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, come on Joyce, it's been so long and this is the welcome I get? Really, you hurt my feelings. Aren't you even going to invite me in?"

Joyce's expression had now turned to anger "Get out!"

"Sorry, no can do". Faith pushed the older woman inside and pressed her against the wall. The slayer had her arm against the woman's neck "How does that feel like, honey?"

The blonde was really frightened and couldn't actually move, it was even hard to breathe. She grabbed Faith's arm and tried to run but it was helpless. The slayer laughed with amusement. Joyce's eyes filled with tears of despair "Oh, don't tell me your gonna cry now!" As their eyes met, Faith felt sorrow for the woman and eased her arm. The woman coffed and whispered softly "Thank you"

Those words were so lyrical, something Faith hadn't listened for such a long time. Now Joyce was whipping hard. She looked into the slayer's eyes and saw that they were also wattery. Suddenly Faith let go of her. She fell sitting and sobbing on the floor. The dark slayer ran to a corner and started crying softly, what made the blonde even more surprised. So they stayed there, each with their own pain, their own motive. After a while Joyce's tears ceased and she got up. She walked towards the slayer but she didn't notice it, for her head was down. She sat by her side and looked at her. When the girl noticed her presence she stared back at her. They gazed in each other's eyes and it was as if they could read each other's soul. Joyce saw the girl hopeslessly and watched as the tears fell from her eyes. Faith closed her eyes and embraced the blonde, searching for redemption. And then they kissed. A kiss so tender it was as if they had lived their whole lives just to get to this moment. Nothing else mattered but to taste, and take a bit of each other's soul, so that they'd never be apart.

"Now this is gonna hurt a bit" said Tara holding a piece of cotton, wet with some kind of medicine. She pressed it against Buffy's arm. The slayer made a painful expression. The witch frowned "Don't worry, everything will be fine soon"

The way Tara said that was so intimate, it was like she knew how much the slayer had been suffering with this whole Riley thing. He was the sweetest but who was she kidding, he could never take Angel's place. Riley would never complete her, he would never make things right.

Buffy looked at the other girl with her eyes filled with tears. So the slayer held the other girl as if it was going to save her. She was afraid to let go cause she knew all her problems would be back and once that happened she wouldn't be able to stop crying. Tara was silent, everything was silent. The world had stopped, the only thing Buffy felt was a hand caressing her hair. It was inevitable, they kissed. A soft tender kiss that lasted 5 seconds. When the slayer opened her eyes all she could see was the girl's lucious lips so she pushed her down the couch and they kissed again. Buffy was overwhelmed by Tara's tongue in her mouth, the only time she had ever felt like this was with Angel and the only thing he and Tara had in common was that her mother wouldn't approve either. God, that was so ironically pathetic�Buffy broke the kiss "I have to go and have dinner at my mom's"

Tara didn't quite understood the words, she was kind of focused on something else. "What did you say?"

But before Buffy could answer Tara kissed her again.

"I was just, well, would you like to have dinner with me and my mom?"

Tara smiled "I'd love to"

And they kissed again and again before the slayer held the other girl's hand and got up. A while later they got to the house and knocked but there was no answer. "Strange" said the slayer before noticing the door wasn't locked and getting in. Once inside they heard moanings coming from the second floor and so they went upstairs. They were coming from the bedroom, the door was half opened and the slayer was afraid to look cause now she could clearly distinct her mother's voice. Just in case, she'd better check, cause it could be a demon after all. Slowly, Buffy walked towards the bedroom followed by Tara. Even more slowly, she opened the door "Oh my God!"

Her mother was naked with Faith standing on top of her. The dark slayer noticed B's presence but didn't care. And as for Joyce, well, she was kind of too busy to notice. The thought of leaving crossed Buffy's mind but she was way too mad for that "Mom, how could you?!"

Finally Joyce noticed her daughter. She pushed Faith away and got up. Tara was standing next to B and as soon as she saw Joyce she turned away and went downstairs. When that happened, the older woman became aware of her own nudity and looked for something to cover her. The dark slayer soon ended the search when she got up and handed her the sheet "Keep it, my clothes are downstairs anyway"

As she walked out of the room with her wet naked body she looked so beautiful that it made Joyce want to run after her but she didn't cause her daughter was more important somehow. When the naked girl got to the first floor she felt so sad cause she had to leave Joyce but at the same time she wanted to laugh cause Buffy was finally getting what she deserved. But she soon forgot about the hole cryin'-laughin' dilemma when she saw a blonde sitting on the couch where her panties were. She stopped in front of the girl "Excuse me"

Tara looked up "God, am I the only one who wears clothes around here?"

The slayer laughed "Yeah, I guess so. Who are you?"

"I'm Tara, Buffy's friend"

The brunette finished putting her pants and offered her hand "I'm Faith, Buffy's enemy"

Tara laughed and watched as the slayer finished dressing. The yelling coming from upstairs were getting louder "So, Tara, you've seen me naked, be fair, take your clothes off."

The blonde laughed and the slayer took it as a sign "This fight will take a long time so we might as well go. Shall we?"

Tara got up "I guess you're right"

They stepped out of the house and held each other's hand as they walked "Beautiful night isn't it?"

Tara stared at Faith "Yeah, truly beautiful"

After a while they stopped in front of a house "This is my place"

Faith gazed at the other girl "So I guess I should be going"

"I guess, but I was thinking�well, I'm a fair person."

The slayer smirked and kissed the girl. Soon they were inside and naked.

"What you did has no excuses!", said Buffy before slamming the door behind her. How could her mother do that? With Faith! That was so disgusting. Her mom was supposed to help her, not fuck her worst enemy! She had to get this out of her mind fast or she'd throw up. So she did the only thing she could think of and went to Tara's place. She didn't know what was waiting for her.

When she got there she heard familiar moanings and looked through the window.Faith was thrusting her fingers into Tara, who was loving it by the way. Buffy ran away as fast as she could. Suddenly she stopped in the middle of nowhere and screamed "Fuck! Is everybody gay?"

Immediately a dark figure came out of the dark "Hey�"

The slayer looking at him "Angel"

She ran and hugged him tight "I missed you so"

"You know, it's funny you screamed that cause I was just about to tell you I'm in love with Giles�"
