“He’s is gonna kill us you know,” Buffy said with a sigh.
“Worth it!” Willow panted, laying back against her two lovers.
“We’ll drive with the top down,” Tara said, feeling relaxed and glowy.
Buffy suddenly burst into giggles “I can’t believe we just did it in the back of Giles car!”
The three girls were disrobed to various degrees, all piled in the back seat of Giles little BMW. After the slaying, they had barely made it to the car, and any hope of driving back to the mansion was thrown out the window when Tara slid the seat forward and pointed at the back, saying “In. Now!”
“I can’t believe we all fit back here, you know, doing *that*!” Willow laughed.
“Mmm, thank goodness for Slayer dexterity!” Tara said with a hum of pure pleasure.
“Oh goddess yes, Mistress!” Willow gushed. “The way you move... it’s like you were everywhere at once!”
“Well, you two are just so... yummy! I want to taste and touch every square inch of you both, all at once!” Buffy said earnestly. “Is that so wrong?” she added with a wide grin.
“Oh goddess no, there’s no wrong there!” Willow declared.
“Ok, we should go back home now... clean up before we have to go to the airport,” Tara said.
“Mmm, shower...” Willow crooned.
‘Insatiable!’ Tara thought indulgently. ‘Not that I’m complaining...”
========== BtVS ==========
“I think, tomorrow, we need to talk to Giles...” Tara broached the subject as they were getting dressed after their shower.
“If you mean that we have to tease him mercilessly about him and mom, I’m with you!” Buffy joked.
“No. Well probably that too... but I was thinking more about talking to him about us,” Tara explained.
“Whaddya mean?” Willow asked, her nose scrunching up adorably.
Tara leaned back on the bed, bracing herself upright with her hands. “I mean, something’s happening to us...”
Buffy immediately stopped what she was doing “Something bad?” she asked, sounding worried.
“No, no sweetie. Something good, I think,” Tara said reassuringly. “I’m talking about how powerful we seem to be getting all of a sudden...”
“You mean the magic?” Buffy asked, resuming getting dressed.
“That too, but not just that...” Tara explained, “Buffy, did you notice how easy the slaying was last night?”
“Yeah, you cut through those five like they were standing still, Buff!” Willow said admiringly.
“Well... they were just a bunch of newbies...” Buffy said, her brow furrowing as she frowned.
“Were they?” Tara wondered aloud.
“Well... they must have been... they were so easy...” Buffy said, suddenly sounding unsure.
“Just before the end, one of them nearly hit you on the head with a fencepost...” Tara said, remembering the bolt of fear that had shot through her.
“Aw, he didn’t even come close...” Buffy dismissed.
“Buff, he... that post was, like, touching your hair! I thought for sure he had you!” Willow added, her face displaying the fact that she too was reminiscing with something less than fondness.
Tara shook her head, recalling what had happened next. “You moved... Buffy, you were literally faster than I could see. One second you were about to get smacked on the head, and the next you were just *gone*!”
“Yeah, it was like you blinked from in front of him, to behind him without moving the space in-between...” Willow said, suddenly contemplative. “I was looking right at you...”
Buffy looked thoughtful for a moment. “You know, I do remember thinking that he was really slow for a vampire... I mean slower than human even...”
“Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great!” Tara encouraged.
“But, this being the Hellmouth and all...” Buffy countered.
“We should research it,” Willow said. “You know, in case there’s some prophecy or something.”
Buffy seemed apprehensive rather than reassured by Willow’s statement. “I dunno, Will. Buffy plus prophecy usually equals badness...”
“Don’t worry Buffy. Whatever it is, we’ll face it together,” Willow said, walking over to Buffy and hugging her.
Tara stood up off the bed and joined her lovers in the embrace, reiterating Willow’s reassurance, “We’ll handle it, whatever it is. Besides, it seems like a good thing... so long as we make sure that we control the power, and don’t let it control us...”
‘Goddess, I love you two so much!’ Tara thought with joy as they held the embrace for several moments. ‘I think I have the perfect way to reward Willow tonight too...’ she realized as the inevitable arousal from being this close to her lovers rose up to match the happiness she was feeling.
‘We should go,” Tara said softly.
“We’re still early,” Buffy protested mildly.
“I know, but I want you to drop me off at the dorm on the way,” Tara explained. “I’ve got an idea for tonight, and I need to get some... supplies.”
“Tonight? What’s tonight?” Willow asked with an excited smile.
Buffy got a twinkle in her eye and smiled seductively as she met Tara’s gaze. “That’s right... we were gonna do something nice for her, weren’t we?” she commented.
‘Adorable!’ Tara thought as Willow tilted her head questioningly and looked back and forth between her two lovers.
“Mmm hmm,” Tara agreed. Turning to the redhead, she explained, “Since you were so very understanding when my little Slayer needed a moment with her Mistress, I thought we should do something nice for you this evening...”
Willow began bouncing up and down on her toes- clearly excited at the thought. “Ooh! What is it? Can there be cuffs and chains?” she asked eagerly.
“It’s a surprise, sweetie!” Tara admonished. “Buffy doesn’t even know what it is yet.”
“A surprise for me! Oh I can’t wait!” Willow gushed in a breathy, little-girl voice.
‘Me neither; it’s going to be amazing... I hope!’ Tara thought.
========== BtVS ==========
‘I’m a dead man...’ Xander thought as he drove through the night.
They were approaching the entirely tiny town of Primm, Nevada; about 45 miles outside of Las Vegas, where they were going to top off the tank and get some food for the road. About half-way through Vegas itself, they had caught up to Gunn and Faith who were traveling in the Summers’ Jeep and- thanks to Willow’s glamour- looking just like Giles and Joyce.
Trailing along a fair distance behind the Jeep, which occasionally dropped off the interstate to check for any tail, Xander had finally concluded that- other than himself- no one was following them.
Unfortunately, with that conclusion he had even less motivation to keep his eyes on the road, and off of the girl sitting next to him. ‘I dunno what the hell’s wrong with me!’ he thought, feeling frustrated. ‘This is Dawn! Buffy’s little sister... except all of a sudden she ain’t so little. When did that happen? Did she change in the last week or what? Am I just so damn horny that I’ve turned into some kind of outa-control hormone monster? It’s like I’m sixteen all over again. Buffy’s gonna kill me. Hell, I’ll be lucky if she doesn’t skin me, and then kill me.’
He glanced at his driving companion and was once again taken with what he saw. ‘God, was Buffy that beautiful the first time I saw her?’ he wondered. ‘Look at that hair, like brown sugar! Those lips... that body... God, that body! And hey, she’ll be sixteen in a few months...’
He snapped his attention back to the road, angrily chastising himself, ‘That’s four years younger than you are jackass! God I can’t even believe I thought that! I am soooo dead!’
“Isn’t this our exit?” Dawn asked, interrupting Xander’s self-recrimination.
“Wha...?” Xander muttered. He suddenly realized they were about to miss their turnoff and, with a quick glance to his right, shot across two lanes just in time to reach the off-ramp.
‘Ok, seriously, time to pull my head out and pay attention!’ he thought; feeling the adrenaline rush mix with embarrassment. ‘Just act like you always have with her... she *so* doesn’t need to know you’re checking her out... she’d totally freak!’
“Sorry about that Dawn. I wasn’t paying attention,” Xander apologized.
“Something wrong?” she asked; a moue of concern on her lips.
Xander shook his head quickly. “No! no... just, you know, thinking.” He tried to lighten up things a bit, joking, “I know, I know. I shouldn’t try to think and drive at the same time...”
When she didn’t answer, he risked another glance at her and found her staring at him with an indecipherable look on her face. “Hey, I really am sorry, Dawn. I won’t let it happen again...”
As they pulled into the gas station/travel center off the freeway, Xander’s mouth kept running. “I... I’d never endanger you, or let you get hurt if I could do anything to stop it... you know that, right Dawn?”
“Why?” Dawn asked out of the blue.
Xander was stunned by the question. “Uh, whaddya mean ‘why’? ‘Cause you’re important to me! I...” he trailed off as his brain caught up with his mouth before he could reveal anything more.
Dawn’s smile was one of those that, once you see it, you’d do almost anything to make it happen again and again, as often as possible. The incongruous thought that went through Xander’s bewildered mind was, ‘Fifteen year-old girls should not be allowed to have that smile!’
“You’re important to me too, Xander,” she said in a soft voice that made his insides melt. “I’m gonna go get some road-food while you fill up, ‘k?” she added, twisting around and reaching over the seat into the back to grab her jacket.
Xander’s eyes followed her all the way to the building’s doors before he snapped out of his daze.
“I’m so very, very much a dead man,” Xander whispered as he leaned forward and thumped his head on the steering wheel.
========== BtVS ==========
“So, what do you think Tara has in mind for tonight?” Buffy asked as they pulled away from the front of the dorm. She and Willow had both sat there, unmoving, waiting until they watched their lover pass through the doorway into the dorm building.
“I dunno, but did you see that look in her eye?” Willow asked, her voice filled with eager anticipation. “Whatever it is, I think I’m gonna like it a lot!”
“I know, I can’t wait!” Buffy exclaimed. “I love Tara-surprises! We’ll just do a quick sweep of the docks and deal with those council goons if we find ‘em, then it’s back to the mansion for a night of fun!”
Willow laughed. “I like how you said that... you realize Giles is gonna want to talk about stuff, and if we do find the council team, it might take a while to deal with them...”
“Umpf,” Buffy pouted. “Don’t wanna take time with that stuff. Giles and mom can take our time talking in the morning. Council team... we’ll just chain ‘em to a wall somewhere and deal with them in the morning too.”
Willow laughed again at that, but apparently was amenable to the idea, “Right. Gotta have priorities, and sex with girlfriends is definitely top of the list...”
“Exactly,” Buffy agreed.
“You know, speaking of talking...” Willow began, changing the subject. “Do you think Xander told them about your house?”
“Oh God, poor mom... I feel kinda guilty not telling her, but I totally didn’t want to do it over the phone... or web, or whatever,” Buffy said. “He probably told her... I think he would, wouldn’t he?”
“Yeah, probably... d’ya think she wigged out?” Willow asked hesitantly.
“She had to, I can’t imagine her not...” Buffy answered ruefully. “Oh God, where’s she gonna sleep tonight? We don’t have any furniture in the other bedrooms!”
“You don’t think she’ll stay with Giles?” Willow asked, sounding surprised.
Nonplussed, Buffy stuttered “I... I guess... I didn’t even think of that.”
“Well, it’s not like they just met or anything... and it wouldn’t be the first time they’ve been, you know... intimate...” Willow replied.
“Ugh, I remember, believe me,” Buffy said, amusement warring with distaste. “I just didn’t really think about it... I mean, we’re assuming a lot, just based on him having his arm around her.”
“Yeah, but remember who we’re talking about,” Willow countered. “When he was seeing Ms. Calendar, there was almost no public touching at all. And when that Olivia woman was here, remember? We know they were together, but they still didn’t really touch when we were around... so unless Giles has changed big-time, he and mom must be really, really close I think...”
As it always did, Buffy’s chest squeezed at the sheer adorability of her babbling Willow. She couldn’t help reaching over and stroking the backs of her fingers along the side of the redhead’s cheek and neck.
“And I... Mmm,” Willow trailed off into a hum of pleasure.
‘Ah, better stop before Will forgets she’s driving and closes her eyes,’ Buffy thought regretfully.
“God I love you so much Will!” Buffy said with the intense emotion in her voice that always arose when she brought up her feelings for her two lovers. She dropped her hand back down to her side and continued, “You’re probably right about Giles and Mom... and I think that’s great for them... especially mom. Lately I’ve been getting the feeling that she’s been kinda lonely.”
“Yeah, it can’t be easy raising two daughters by herself, ‘specially when one of ’em’s the Slayer...” Willow said softly.
Buffy thought for a moment of all the difficulties since becoming the Slayer. ‘I never really looked at it from her side... I probably wouldn’t have reacted too well to all the trouble I got in all the time either...’
“No, I don’t think it was very easy for her...” Buffy vocalized her musings.
“Maybe when we get the whole watcher’s council/unknown assassin thing taken care of, we should do something nice for your mom...” Willow suggested. “I have no clue what it would be, but...”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea; I’m sure between the three of us we could come up with something...” Buffy agreed contemplatively. After another idea occurred to her, she said, “You know, I wonder if it was harder or easier with Dawn...”
“Whaddya mean?” Willow asked, glancing at Buffy with a perplexed _expression_.
“Well, it just occurred to me that, you know, we remember Dawn being there, so mom had to deal with all the extra from two daughters instead of one, which has got to be harder, but at the same time, at least she had Dawn there when she didn’t have a clue what was up with me, and when I was gone that time...” Buffy said; to this day still feeling guilty for running away.
Buffy suddenly found her hand enveloped in Willow’s warm hand, and the feeling of guilt eased slightly. ‘one more in the millions of reasons to love Willow!’ she thought.
“Dawn wasn’t there, though. Not really,” Buffy said softly. “I just suddenly wondered if that made it harder, or easier...”
“Buffy... is something wrong?” Willow asked tentatively.
“Wrong?” Buffy asked. “No...”
‘is there?’ Buffy wondered, suddenly unsure about her answer.
“It’s just... you seem...” Willow paused, apparently struggling for the right word. “Melancholy...”
Buffy pondered the statement for several moments before answering. “I dunno, Will. Today seems kinda... surreal. I mean, if you think about it, it’s been a really weird day, even for us.”
“Weirder than usual?” Willow asked with a chuckle.
“Well, we didn’t even get out of bed until, like, almost noon... then we had sex. And then Tara and I almost had sex while you and Xander were getting his clothes and our lunch, and then Tara and I did have sex just before the call to Giles, and we just had sex about an hour ago in the car by the graveyard, and then again in the shower and we just dropped Tara off so she can get some ‘supplies’ for us to have more sex later tonight,” Buffy recounted.
“That’s only five and an ‘almost’ in one day...” Willow said, blasé.
“Yeah, nowhere near a record for us, but still...” Buffy answered with a sly grin. “But then in between the sex, we found out you can make everyone within shouting distance cum at the same time. My ex-boyfriend gave my girlfriend a multi-million dollar mansion cause she kicked his ass really well. Someone’s trying to kill my family- and that’s only unusual cause it’s a human instead of a vampire or demon...”
“Or a hell-god,” Willow interjected.
“Right, cause we took out the hell-god last night,” Buffy agreed. Let’s see, what else... you made a bunch of guns invisible, and then you made mom and Giles look like Faith and Gunn- which we’re about to see...”
“Not to mention making Gunn and Faith look like Giles and mom,” Willow added.
“Right. Our house was destroyed- though technically, we found out about that last night. Oh, and the council sent some guys to capture or kill Faith...” Buffy added with no change in tone. “Did I leave out anything?”
“Xander’s stuck driving Dawnie home all the way from Las Vegas?” Willow offered.
“Right, poor Xander,” Buffy agreed with a laugh.
“Lucky Dawnie, though...” Willow said with a sly smile.
“What’s that mean?” Buffy asked with a frown.
“Oh please, Dawn is so clearly in love with Xander...” Willow explained matter-of-factly. “Believe me, I totally know the signs.”
Buffy continued to frown thoughtfully. “I knew she had a crush...” she allowed.
“I dunno, Buff...” Willow rebutted. “When she was ten, it was a crush... after almost six years, I’m thinking it might be more than that...”
Buffy considered that idea as they pulled into the airport parking access. ‘Lovesick Dawn, mooning after Xander- who, though clueless, would no doubt be wigged out if he found out,’ she thought, sympathy and humor warring for dominance.
“Oh yeah, poor Xander...” Buffy said with a pitying laugh.

“Unit one, this is unit three, I have verified subject Tango in the dorm room.”
“Three, this is one. Status of subjects Bravo and Whiskey?”
“Departed five minutes ago in vehicle belonging to subject Gamma.”
“Roger three, hold position. Unit two, return to base. Three, I will rendezvous your location in five minutes. We will then secure subject Tango and regroup with two.”
“Roger One, Three acknowledges.”
“Roger One, Two acknowledges. Be sure and remember to completely secure the hands and mouth; intel on Tango includes knowledge and use of witchcraft.”
