TARA: Okay. Once upon a time, there was, um ... a kitty. She was very little, and she was all alone, and nobody wanted her.
WILLOW: This is a very upsetting story.
TARA: Oh, oh, but it gets better. 'Cause one day the kitty was running around in the street and a man came, and swooped her up... And took her to the pound.
Tara is sitting on the end of Willow's bed lifting the kitten into her lap. Willow is in the bed, under the covers.
TARA: And at the pound there were lots of other kitties, and there were puppies, and some ferrets...
WILLOW: (smiling) Were there dolphins?
TARA: [handing kitten to Willow] Yes. Many dolphins at the pound.
WILLOW: Or was there a camel?
TARA: [thinks] There was the front of a camel. A half camel.
WILLOW: [cuddling kitten] Did the kitty get chosen by some nice people?
TARA: Well, now you ruined the ending.
TARA: Do you mind if I keep the light on? I was gonna look up some spells.
WILLOW: It's fine. [pouts] I don't need to be snuggled. [smiles]
TARA: [smiles back] Vixen!
WILLOW: You've been spell gal night and day lately.
TARA: Well, I just wanna keep up with you, and I'm ... well, I just like to be useful. You know, to the gang? [Willow looks concerned] I just ... never ... feel useful.
WILLOW: You are. You're essential.
