All In A Day

Prologue




11:59 PM

03/04/02





Memory. Dreams.



The Bronze.



The Scooby Gang had spent the last twenty-four ours bursting into song on a whim. Revealing their inner most secrets. Bearing their hearts, their souls and minds to all those around them. All thanks to a demon who wished to make Dawn his bride with the belief she was the one that summoned him. When revealed he was in fact brought forth by Xander to gain insight in to whether he and Anya would wok out the Demon was at a loss and fled the Earth.



?Understand we'll go hand in hand? They all sang as they formed a line 



?But we'll walk alone in fear.?



?Tell me!? Giles crooned alone.



?Where do we go from here? When does the end appear??







?Now. 





The clock Changed, time passed. 

What was once to be became what is. Before becoming what was.

It vanished.

Nothing. Forgotten. Lost.

<><><><><>





The red glowing print of the alarm clock flashed silently.



The morning sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting its rays into her eyes telling her body it was time to awake. Willow stifled a yawn as she slowly woke form lumber. She instinctively pulled the naked body she was spooned behind further into her body. After blinking several times to clear the sleep out of her eyes she smiled at the back of a familiar blonde head. She bent and gently inhaled the scent of her girlfriend?s hair. Hmm, Vanilla. Willow never understood why she smelt that way, Tara adamantly claiming she used unscented shampoo. 



Still groggy, the red headed witch leaned in and nuzzled the golden main in front of her. The fog of her mind began to clear as consciousness asserted itself. 





10:15 AM

03/06/02




The digits of her clock stared at her. Willow got a puzzled look on her face as she took in the reading. It was wrong. Her mind was still a little fuzzy regarding the previous day but she was pretty certain that yesterday was 4th and today was the 5th. Not one for putting things off Willow lent forward to change the date. Willow found herself trapped after a centimetre or two and unable to forward. As she tried to push forward again she was surprised to find her self pulled gently back by a pair of powerful arms. She was even more surprised by the sensation of someone nuzzling her neck. After taking a few moments to calm down Willow gently moved to look at the individual behind her. 



Two sleepy and shockingly familiar eyes blinked back at her.



?Morning Wills? A tired voice spoke. Blinking eyes closing to the morning glare



?Morning.? Willow quietly managed to squeak out in reply.



?WILLOW? Thump








Chapter One




Buffys head popped up beside the bed, looking like a frightened rabbit. Looking around wildly but came to a stop when she made eye contact. She scramble back a few steps and got to her feet.



?Yo..yo.you?re naked.? She stammered pointing at the red head. ?You?re both naked.? Pointing between Willow and Tara. The Blonde headed sorceress having turned over in her slumber exposing her naked back, buttocks and thighs to the morning air.



?We?re not the only ones.? The young witch sat up gently pulled the sheets up to cover herself and her blonde girlfriend.



?What?? 



The red head gestured up and down casually eyeing her best friends body. Buffy looked down, her eyes widening as she took in her own nakedness. The Slayer dived at the near by recliner claiming the throw over sheet to conceal her nakedness. A nervous silence descended on the room as the two girls tried there best not to move or to look at each other.



<><><><><>



?How...? The Slayer hesitated as her friend looked at her. She was more nervous than she had ever been before. ?How did this...you know? Happen.? 



?I?I don?t know.? Willow began after a few moments. ?The last thing I remember is singing, at the Bronze. And then? we we?re here. You??



?The same.?



More silent moments passed.



?Perhaps we didn?t do anything.? Willow suggested



?Oh yes we did.? Buffy countered nodding her head vigorously.



?I thought you didn?t remember anything.?



?I don?t.?



?Then how??



?Slayer enhanced sense of smell.? Buffy said interrupting her friend.



?I don?t understand.? Willow said with honest innocence. She thought for a moment. ?OH? She exclaimed with realization. ?You mean you cans smell?you know?us.?



?Yeah.? Came the simple reply, accompanied with a shy bust amused grin.



?Perhaps she has the answers.? The Slayer said lightly, rising up and shuffling towards the bed with the sheet wrapped tightly around her.



?She??



?Sleeping beauty here.? She pointed to the red heads girlfriend, whom was still sound a sleep despite everything.



?Oh right I guess she might.? Willow said with a nervous inflection to her voice.



?She always such a heavy sleeper, or we?re we to much for her.? The Slayer said with a big grin attempting to inject humour into the situation to cover her own unease and to ease her friend?s obvious unease. She realised her failure as the witch blushed furiously.



Willow eased Tara round to face her and gently tried to wake her girlfriend. Tara continued to sleep oblivious to the conscious world.



?Time to wake up Sweetie.? Willow said trying again. 



?Don?t warn the tadpoles.? Tara mumbled as she slowly began to wake. Causing Willow and Buffy to share a confused but amused look. ?Morning Willow? The blonde witch said gently. She was confused. After discovering her lovers meddling with her memory she?d planned on having a stern discussion with Willow and her obvious Magical problems. She hadn?t planned on waking up in bed with her. Especially not while both of them were naked.



?Hey Tara.?



?Buffy?? The witch questioned noticing the Slayer for the first time. ?What?s going on??



<><><><><>





Several minutes later the three young women were casually dressed and sitting around the kitchenette. Willow on the end, Buffy and Tara sitting either side.



?So you don?t remember ?anything??? The Slayer asked



?N...No I don?t re...re...remember anything. I?m sorry? Tara stuttered on the verge of crying. Upset with her self for not being able to help.



?Hey it?s OK.? Buffy reassured her gently grasping her friends? hand and gently rubbing them. 



Tara began to relax, her heart starting to slow, upon hearing the kind and reassuring words of the other two young women and the heart felt hug of Willow standing behind her.
