They lived in Massachusetts now, the only state that had legalized gay marriage when they�d wanted to get married. Several more had made gay marriage legal since, but Ohio and California hadn�t, so what was left of the Scooby Gang all moved to Massachusetts. Neither Xander nor Buffy was married yet, even though Willow, Xander, and Buffy were now thirty years old. Little Dawn was now attending Harvard University in Boston, in her sixth year of her nine-year medical school degree. They were so proud of Dawn. Willow herself had been accepted to every Ivy League school in the country, but she�d decided to stay in Sunnydale for college. Which she was now glad about, because she would never have met Tara or Kennedy. Kennedy, her 28-year-old wife, the veterinarian, mother of her children, chef extraordinaire, comforter, healer�she loved her so much. Kennedy was probably looking for her now, since she�d walked away from her mother�s wake over an hour ago. She didn�t bother to go back, Kennedy knew her spot. Kennedy would find her. She brushed the blades of grass, which rustled in the warm, early spring breeze. She loved spring. Both her daughters were born in the spring, and she and Kennedy had gotten their college degrees in the spring. Willow herself was now a pediatric social worker at Boston Children�s Hospital. It was a wonderful job at times, very rewarding.
She sighed, throwing her head back, letting her red hair fly. It was down to mid-back now, almost as long as it was when she�d first met Buffy. Kennedy had insisted that she grow it out, saying Willow was very, very cute in the pictures she saw. She looked up at the fluffy, white clouds. It was such a beautiful day; it was hard to believe that less than a month ago it was cold, icy, snowy, windy, and bleary outside. Moving to Lexington, which was just outside Boston, was harsh sometimes, because here were freezing cold, snowy, and windy winters, whereas in California were balmy, sunny winters.
