**********************************************************************
********************

Passion... it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though 
unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws... and howl.
It speaks to us, guides us... Passion rules us all. And we obey. What 
other choice do we have?
Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, 
declaredly of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief.
It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we could live without 
Passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hallow. 
Empty rooms, shuddered and dank. Without Passion, we'd be truly dead.
-Angelus "Passion"

I wasn't ready, but I think I finally am. I can't hold on to the past 
anymore. Angel is gone. Nothing is going to bring him back.
-Buffy "Passion"

"Hey, Will. How goes the teachering?" Buffy greeted, walking into the 
computer class Willow was dismissing.
"Hey, Buff. It's good." Willow answered, turning around to face Buffy.
"Wanna have a sleep over tonight? I gotta surprise for you." Buffy 
asked, leading the way to the hallway.

"A surprise? For me? Sure!" Willow squeaked. Buffy smiled at Willow's 
happiness.
"First I have to check up on Giles." Buffy said, directing them 
towards the library. Willow nodded, following Buffy.

"Hey, Giles!" Buffy said, enthusiastically. Willow just waved.
"Uh, Buffy. May I have a word with you?" Giles asked, standing up 
from his desk and walking into his office. Buffy and Willow exchanged 
glances before Buffy shrugged and followed Giles.

Once Buffy closed the door, Giles started talking.
"I wanted to thank you for helping me yesterday. I wouldn't have made 
it if it weren't for you." Giles said, trying to get through his 
little speech. Buffy smiled.
"No problem. You're like a dad to me." Buffy said, walking over the 
give Giles a hug.

Once Buffy let go, she walked out to meet Willow. Together they left 
Sunnydale High for Willow's to pick up clothes. Once they left 
Willow's, they were onto Buffy's house.

"Please?" Willow begged yet again.
"No." Buffy said smiling.
"Please?" Willow begged, putting on her pout-y face. 'That face is so 
adorable.' Buffy thought. 'Wait! Did I just say adorable? I meant 
cute. No! I mean, Willow's gorgeous!' Buffy shook her head to get rid 
of these thoughts.

"No! You're going to have to wait 'til we get to my house." Buffy 
explained.
"Oh, okay." Willow finally gave up. Willow looked over to see Buffy 
smiling. 'She's so beautiful when she smiles. I just wish she would 
do it more often. I love Buffy. I just wish I could tell her.' Willow 
thought.

Willow was so deep in thought, she walked right passed Buffy's house. 
Buffy started poking her. Willow looked up.
"Uh, Will. We just passed my house." Buffy said, trying to keep in 
her laughter but failing. Willow started laughing too, turning around 
and walking back.

Once they were inside, Willow started begging again.
"Now can you show me?" Willow asked again, putting back on her pout-y 
face.
"Fine. In my room next to my bed, there's a box. It's in there." 
Buffy said. Before Buffy got to finish her sentence, Willow was 
running up the stairs. Buffy smiled and walking over to the couch and 
sat down.

Buffy started thinking. 'What's going on with me? I just thought 
Willow was gorgeous! I mean she is, but she's a she, not a he! I 
mean, I really love Willow and all- Oh, my god! I love Willow! Holy 
crap!' All of a sudden Buffy heard a shriek and she knew Willow found 
her gift.

"Buffy, he's amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Where'd you 
get him?" Willow asked, coming down the stairs with a little puppy in 
her hands.
"On patrol last night, I found this little guy in the cemetery. He 
had no tags and I thought you'd like it." Buffy explained, blushing 
after she said that and turned her head to look down at the floor.

Willow joined Buffy on the couch and laid her head on Buffy's 
shoulder.
"I love it, just as much as I love you." Willow said, regretting she 
said the last of her words. Buffy smiled.
"I love you, too, Will." Buffy said back.
