Faith chuckles as they finish setting up their apartment after a quick re-arrange. Making room for the extra chairs Kevin had gathered for them, even as they had the door open and the different tenants were already sneaking and out after hearing they were having a �house warming�. Glad she�d talked Tara into allowing her to get extra food from one of the restaurants that did catering. The trays of finger food going to come in handy even as Fred and Justin fill their plates, settling in a corner as they giggle amongst themselves as they eat the food.

Tara looks at the clock as she sets out the cups and two liters on the counters. Pulling out additional items from the refrigerator and setting them out on the kitchen table along with the huge container of mini smoked sausages in barbecue sauce, she looks around, smiling as Faith heads over to the intercom, buzzing up someone after speaking into it, not able to catch what her lover said between the music and the tenants talking. Chuckling as she hears Faith tell her it was B and Joyce coming up, Tara silently sends a thank you to her lover.

Faith looks over and winks at Tara, unconsciously allowing her eyes to trail over her lover. Smiling sexily at the sight of Tara wearing tight jeans and a blue silk blouse that almost matched her eyes perfectly. Her blonde hair flowing over her shoulders as she finishes setting out different munchies.

�Stop leering at your girlfriend.� Buffy growls in Faith�s ear, smacking the slayer on the back, chuckling as Faith just grunts and keeps looking at Tara.

Joyce laughs quietly as she carries additional sodas over to Tara as the two slayers quietly bicker back and forth. �Those two are worse than sisters.�

Tara looks over her shoulder at Buffy and Faith jostling each other. �Yes, they are. They�ve become closer over the last few weeks.� Tara comments quietly, thankful Faith had started to open up more to the rest of the group. Smiling at her lover as Faith looks over and grins at her. �Thanks for picking up the extra soda. I�d rather have too much than not enough.� Tara grins crookedly at the older woman as she pulls out the sodas and puts them with the rest. �We�ve ordered some real food to be delivered in an hour.�

Joyce chuckles as she looks over at Buffy and Faith. �Wouldn�t be because of those two, would it?�

�Hmm. What would make you think that?� Tara laughs with Joyce as the two continue to talk as Faith buzzes in the other people as they arrive.

Faith looks around quickly at everyone splitting off and talking together in small groups. Seeing Tara grabbing something out of the refrigerator she sneaks up behind her lover and takes the item from her hands. Smiling down at the additional cut up vegetables, she turns and opens the containers, dumping them on the tray before tossing the empty containers in the sink.

Tara smirks as she gets her lover�s thoughts, chuckling quietly as Faith grabs her and urges her to the bedroom, kissing her hungrily as they step into the room. Groaning deeply as she wraps her arms around her lover�s neck returning the kiss with everything she has, the two women finally pull away, breathing heavily.

�Been wanting to do that for the last two hours.� Faith growls deeply, nipping playfully on Tara�s neck.

�I�m surprised you didn�t just do this out in the middle of the apartment.� Tara laughs as Faith�s fingers tickle up her ribs.

�Thought about it.� Faith admits huskily. �What�s goin� on between Doc and Mrs. S?�

�Don�t know.� Tara chuckles quietly as she remembers the two as they worked their way to a corner and had settled in chairs not long after the Doctor arrived, hardly moving as they talked to each other. �I figured you might have been listening in.�

�Nah. I didn�t want to eavesdrop, so I�ve been tryin� to behave.� Faith admits, smiling as Tara hugs her tightly. Hugging her lover back, Faith smacks her gently on the butt. �The other two gonna circle each other all day?�

Tara laughs as they head back out to the rest of the group, looking over at Buffy and Julie as the two women are in the middle of a group of people. �I think so.�

Faith grunts quietly before grabbing a plate and piling it high with the pulled barbecue pork they had delivered along with ribs and barbecue chicken. �Gonna have to do somethin� if they keep this shit up.� Faith grumbles before wiggling her eyebrows at her lover.

�Oh, no. You behave and give them time to figure it out themselves, love.� Tara murmurs, watching as Buffy looks her way, staring daggers at Faith. �I�m trying to make her behave, Buffy.�

Faith rolls her eyes. �Jeez, B. If ya� like her why don�t you see if you can talk to her without being surrounded by ten people?� Faith turns around to look at Buffy and smirks as the blonde slayer snarls her lip slightly. �Fine, I ain�t gettin� in the middle of it.�

Buffy sighs quietly and turns back to Giles, Willow and Oz, allowing her eyes to linger for a second on Julie. �I�m going to grab some food and some more soda. Does anyone need anything?� Buffy offers, smiling as she shifts slightly.

�I�m okay.� Willow answers, shaking her head as Oz just does a quick shake also.

�I can go for something to eat, so I�ll go with.� Julie smiles as Buffy blushes lightly. The petite woman having her completely entranced with how shy she is one moment to being very self assured and almost dominant the next. Mentally making a note to ask Tara more about the small blonde when she gets a chance, Julie follows Buffy to the kitchen area.

�Hi ladies.� Tara grins crookedly at the two as she places a piece of barbecue chicken on her plate along with some coleslaw and a piece of garlic bread. �Coming to get some food?�

�Food and drinks.� Buffy shrugs, smiling quickly at Tara before turning narrowed eyes on Faith.

�I ain�t fuckin� saying a word.� Faith raises her hand as she moves over to a chair, sitting down to eat her food, smirking at the blonde slayer in between bites.

Tara laughs softly as she looks at everyone moving and talking, some people with plates in their hands as they eat. Surprised to see Kevin and Giles moving off and Giles waving his hands around as he obviously questions Kevin about something.

�Oh no�� Faith grumbles, her eyes turning to look at Giles and Kevin.

�What is it, honey?� Tara questions curiously as she moves to sit down beside Faith.

�G-man is asking Kev if he has anymore apartments open, and if there might be some that are larger since he has all his books.� Faith turns begging eyes on Tara. �Don�t let him move in here. It just ain�t fair.�

Tara chuckles and shakes her head at her lover. �It�ll be okay, honey. I promise. Where did Fred and Justin go?� Tara questions curiously having seen the two men earlier, but not seeing them when they came back from the bedroom.

�I heard �em say something about having a friend they were meetin� somewhere.� Faith shrugs. �They knew it was pretty much a free for all today. More of a getting together of our mutual friends and the people that live here in the apartment complex to get to know each other.� Faith eats a bite of the pulled pork as she chews she thinks for a few minutes. �We gonna finish up that sharing thing tonight?�

Tara nods her head as she thinks. �It might be for the best. That way we�re prepared if anything happens.�

�We gonna do the advanced thing?� Faith whispers softly as she leans towards Tara, watching her lover intently.

�We�ll wait on that, Faith. I don�t want to do something that you�re not ready for.� Tara admits softly, her eyes serious.

�Babe, I�� Faith realizes this isn�t probably the best time to have this conversation, so she leans in and places a loving kiss on Tara�s cheek. �Later.�

Tara nods, already feeling Faith�s conflicted emotions on the subject. Also knowing that she hasn�t had time to finish reading the book to see if there�s anything else that might come in handy to know.

�I plan on doin� that tomorrow.� Faith answers the unspoken question, grinning as Tara groans quietly. �Put up the shield if ya� don�t want me to know what you�re thinking.�

�You like me leaving it down.� Tara points out as she slowly starts eating.

�Yes, I do.� Faith grins wickedly at her lover as she imagines slathering her in barbecue sauce and spending hours licking it off her body.

�Faith!� Tara warns, her eyes flashing at her lover. �Going to have you put your block back up.�

�What�s the fun in that?� Faith smirks and leans partially against Tara as she settles in to eat the food on her plate.

Buffy looks at Julie for a moment before glancing back down at her plate. �So, what do you like to do in your free time?�

Julie chuckles and looks a Buffy. �Lounge around in my pajamas, eat ice cream, watch movies and take naps.�

�Ohhh. That sounds great.� Buffy moans quietly at the thought of doing nothing but eating, watching television and sleeping. �Where can I sign up?�

Julie laughs and pats the petite woman on the shoulder. �I�ll get the sheet for you. What do you do in your free time?�

Buffy shrugs her shoulders as the two women settle down side by side on the couch. �I like to go dancing, but now that I�m single and all my friends are coupled up, it feels weird.�

�Feel like a fifth wheel, too, huh?� Julie question, smiling understandingly at Buffy. �That�s pretty much the way I am. Most of my friends have either moved or gotten married.�

�So, no significant others in your life right now?� Buffy questions curiously, praying that she doesn�t sound too hopeful with her question.

�Nope. Footloose and fancy free.� Julie laughs and winks at the small blonde. �Have anybody in mind?�

Buffy shrugs and blushes lightly. �Depends. What�s your preferences? Blonde, brunette, redhead, tall, short� male, female.� Buffy whispers the last two words softly.

Julie hurriedly swallows the bite of food in her mouth and looks at the blushing blonde. Pursing her lips as Buffy doesn�t look up at her but seems engrossed with the food on her plate, Julie allows a small smile to cross her face. �Well, in all honesty my main preferences are�� Julie drags it out until Buffy finally looks at her curiously. �Someone with a good sense of humor and that likes animals.�

Buffy�s mouth opens and shuts a couple times as she looks at the woman, not knowing what to say, since she didn�t say anything about men or women.

�Do you like animals?� Julie questions curiously, her eyes glinting with mischief.

Buffy whimpers quietly and slowly nods her head. �I like animals.�

�Good. I already know you have a good sense of humor. You have to, being friends with Tara and Faith.� Julie laughs quietly as she stands with her empty plate and leaves the small blonde to think about that.

�Did she�?� Buffy shifts and looks over her shoulder, her eyes following Julie.

�Yeah, B. She�s flirtin� with ya�.� Faith murmurs, her lips curled up in a huge smile as Tara looks her way. �Julie�s definitely interested and just about made Buffy take a nose dive into her food.�

Tara laughs quietly and shakes her head as she looks to Buffy who had turned more and was glaring at them.

�Did not almost take a nose dive!� Buffy growls before turning back to look at Julie who stopped to talk to her mom and the Doctor.

�Did so.� Faith eggs Buffy on, laughing as Buffy snaps her head back to her, growling deeply. Turning back to quietly laughing Tara, Faith wiggles her eyebrows. �She�s going to have to really read up on that book we got her now!�

Tara bites back a laugh as Buffy snarls at her lover. �Behave, honey. I think she�s even more irritated now than she was when I was teasing her. Look at where she�s sitting, I mean��

Buffy whimpers and jumps off the couch, blushing darkly while sending them evil looks.

�Well we did.� Tara murmurs, laughing as Buffy sets down her empty plate and heads towards her mom. �I enjoy myself entirely too much when I pick on her.�

�You�re not the only one.� Faith smirks and laughs as Buffy shots them a glare. �I guess we should mingle some. Love you.� Faith nips gently at Tara�s jaw before taking both their dirty dishes to the kitchen.

Tara smiles for a moment before standing and working her way out of the room.

Adam looks at the computer screens surrounding him, his eyes twitching from one to the other quickly as he watches the feed to the Initiative while a program runs in the background.

As the computer beeps, he brings up the program quickly punching in commands as he works on getting complete control of the Initiatives complex, knowing it won�t be much longer. �Now to find the two slayers. It is time that they learn what pain is.� He rumbles lowly, wondering how the dark-haired one had lived through the beating he gave her, but swearing she won�t live when he gets a hold of her again.

�Hey, Frankenstein. I have the film that you were wanting.� Spike snarls as he lights a cigarette, waving the tape in front of the monster�s face. �I have more that I�ll give you after you take this bleeding� chip outta my head.�

Adam turns his steely gaze on the vampire, having resorted to using him after the other demons he�d had at his disposal disappeared. Being able to keep track of where the vampire goes with the tracking device imbedded into his brain besides the modifier chip. �I�ll be a judge of that. Give me the tape.� Adam growls deeply as the vampire places the tape in his hand.

�Bloody well is worth more than gettin� the chip outta my head, it is. I have two more tapes of �em two fighting, along with the Witchy girlfriend.� Spike lights another cigarette from the one he just finished.

�Witch?� Adam narrows his gaze. �Is she on this tape?�

�There�s a little bit of her on it, there is.� Spike nods his head. �But I got more of her on the other tapes.�

Adam taps his fingers on the desk as he considers his next move. �Stay in the back out of sight for now. After I watch this if I deem it worthwhile, then I�ll remove the chip and you can get the other tapes.� He turns a deadly stare on the vampire. �Don�t think of taking off. I will find you and see how many body parts you can lose before you dust if you do.�

Spike unconsciously swallows as he feels the fear flow through him. �Aye. I�ll be back in the cave a bit, then.�

Adam spins around in the chair and rolls to the small tape player he has hooked up to the computers. Inserting it and watching as it come on, he watches the two slayers fighting and killing the vampires he�d sent out to test them. As the demon that he had sent that should have done some serious damage to the slayers with them being worn down by the vampires is being tag teamed by the slayers, Adam leans forward as the small blonde slayer seems to try and keep its attention while the other one calls someone on the phone. Growling softly, as the distance of the vampire keeps him from hearing what is said, he watches intently as the two women continue to slice at the demon with their knives without doing that much damage.

Grinning as he notices the small blonde about to have her head taken off by the demon, he snarls as the demon freezes. As the camera pans over another blonde coming to stand by the dark haired slayer, handing the two slayers the swords she�s carrying, he watches as the rest of it plays out. When the witch sets fire to the demon and effectively kills him Adam presses the pause button silently wondering if there is any information on the woman. Spinning back around to the keyboard he does a capture on the picture and sends it through his data base before starting a search on magic, having not bothered previously.

Faith paces back and forth angrily in the living room, the connection between her and Tara having finished giving her, her lover�s knowledge, abilities and memories roughly fifteen minutes ago. She�d been hurt and upset to begin with, now the anger is flowing through her as she continues to prowl around the apartment while Tara�s asleep in the bedroom. Keeping her walls tightly in place, Faith glances over to the book, snarling her lip before continuing to pace.

Running her hands roughly through her hair, Faith turns her gaze to their bedroom as she hears Tara roll out of bed. Silently wondering what�s woken her lover, knowing that her feelings and thoughts shouldn�t be coming through to the witch.

�Faith?� Tara questions hoarsely as she stumbles out of the bedroom, stopping and rubbing her eyes as Faith glances at her before continuing to pace. Frowning at the realization that Faith has her walls up� hell more like the fucking Great Wall of China around her. �What�s wrong?� Tara finally questions as she notices the slayer is obviously angry, slowly closing the distance between them, stopping in shock as Faith growls angrily at her.

�When the fuck were you gonna tell me that you were gonna have to finish your education elsewhere after you finished here next year?� Faith growls, her eyes flashing with anger. �I can�t fucking leave the Hellmouth for a couple years for you to finish, and I damn well can�t just spend summers here!�

�Goddess, Faith. Please calm down.� Tara tries to get her thoughts working as Faith�s words confuse her with still being half asleep. Having just woken up when she�d reached for her lover and came across cold sheets instead she�d looked for Faith.

Faith turns and strides away from Tara, the thought of them being apart sending a serious cold chill through her heart. Her anger suddenly replaced with fear. Fear of something happening to Tara if she�s not there. Not liking spending time away from Tara as it is, but understanding she has to, the thought of being apart from each other for days, weeks, months� Faith buries her face in her hands. �I can�t be apart from you for that long, Tara. Maybe a couple days if we have to, but no more than that. It scares me deeply that something could happen to you if I�m not there.�

Tara inhales deeply as Faith finally lowers her shields and the almost paralyzing fear that Faith�s feeling comes through. �Oh, love�� Tara quickly heads towards Faith and gather�s her in her arms. �I�m not going to leave you, love. I promise.�

�You�re gonna have to, Tare. To finish your schooling to become a veterinarian.� Faith wraps her arms tightly around her lover�s waist and buries her face in Tara�s neck.

�Sweetie, the Doctor is working with his Alma Mater about my doing a learning degree with him. That information should have been in there with everything else.� Tara whispers, her eyes full of worry.

�It was, but it ain�t a guarantee, Tare. Then you�ll still have to do all the work and papers that you would need for your degree.� Faith points out roughly.

�Yes, I�ll be busy between working and studying, but one way or the other I�ll be doing it from here. I�m not leaving you, honey. There are other, less prestigious schools, that offer this program with a respected, qualified veterinarian. Doctor Roberts just has to agree to it, and he already has. He�s already started all the paperwork needed, he�s even keeping track of all the operations and other diagnoses that we�ve had come through that I�ve helped with. I�ve already had more experience than probably any other student will have at this stage of the learning process.� Tara explains quietly.

�And then some.� Faith mumbles into Tara�s neck, knowing that the time she�s spent with the Veterinarian is literally more than what most students have two years in with a practice after graduating.

Tara sighs in relief as Faith settles back down, though knowing that her lover will have more questions and possibly even anger to work through. �I love you, honey. I�m planning on sticking around here. You need my protection just as much as I need yours.� Tara smiles softly at the quiet snort she gets from Faith.

�You got a lot of fucking information up in your head.� Faith grumbles quietly as she finally bends her legs and scoops Tara up in her arms to make her way to the bedroom. �I ain�t used to this.�

Tara presses her lips gently against Faith�s neck. �I�m sorry, honey.�

�No need to be. But going from a GED to all the information you got�� Faith sighs quietly as she gently places Tara in the bed and climbs in beside her lover. Thankfully wiggling in tightly against and partially over her as Tara wraps her arms around her and holds her tight. �Don�t know if I like the idea of being smart.� Faith grumbles softly into Tara�s shoulder.

�I hate to tell you this, but I don�t think I�ll be able to take all the information back. So, do me a favor. Turn the lights off in the living room.� Tara comments softly.

�Couldn�t have asked me to do that before I got comfy?� Faith grumbles as she nips gently at Tara�s shoulder.

�No. I want you to try it magically, honey. You have all my memories and abilities now.� Tara explains, smiling at the quiet grunt she gets from her lover.

�Yeah, and I also know you don�t use magic unless you have a good reason. I have the same memories you got, babe. Your mama�s teachings were very effective. You don�t do something magically that you can do just as easily by regular means.� Faith presses her lips again to Tara�s shoulder before easing from the bed.

Tara smiles as Faith hurries out to the living room and turns off the lamp. Chuckling quietly as Faith practically dives for the bed.

�Wanna be close.� Faith mumbles, worming her way under the covers and against Tara.

�Come on, love.� Tara urges her lover on top of her, smiling as Faith wiggles her body between her legs and works her hands under her back as she nuzzles in against her breasts. �I�m sorry, honey. I should have actually told you instead of letting you learn that way. I don�t know where my mind was.� Tara runs her hands soothingly through Faith�s hair, loving the feel of the thick silky strands under her fingers and the slayer�s strong body pressing against her. Smiling softly as Faith let�s her know that she loves being pressed against her. �Sleep, honey.� Tara gently kneads Faith�s back as she feels her lover relaxing against her.

�Love you.� Faith mumbles against Tara�s breast as she finally falls asleep.

�I love you, too.� Tara whispers softly, threading her fingers through Faith�s hair, as she closes her eyes to follow her lover in sleep.
