>I... I ... Fuck!


>Hm... I... I can explain.

>No Dawn! I think this is something me and Faith have to talk about.

>But Tara... I am her girlfriend... and well now that you know, you should know the rest... I am really her girlfriend.

>Faith is she saying the truth?


>Well... Yeah T.

>Since When?

>Yesterday.

>Then why you told me you liked me this morning??


>Faith wouldn’t do that.

>Ask her

>Did you baby?


>I didn’t exactly... she came up with this weird idea that I had a crush on her... and you know how I am such a bad liar... so I thought it’d be better if I just said yeah to that and she’d eventually forget about it.

>Oh Crap. So you were right when you told me I had misunderstood... and the kiss.. you... and... Oh God..... I’m so embarrassed Faith... She blushed and she was about to go away.


>Tara?

>Yeah Dawn...

>Can I ask you something???

>I guess.

>But Come in and close the door.



*Door Closes*


>Would you please please PLEASE... don’t tell Buffy about this??

>Well... I think she deserves to know Dawn... however I know it is not my right to tell her... it wouldn’t be fair... I won’t say a word... but just I don’t want to be covering your backs all of the time.


>Got it T! Thanks

>And... would you... um... I... Just... would you please don’t tell Willow you don’t like me?

>That is weird T! Cos I actually don’t like you...

>I know but... please

>Ok Ok!!

>Now let’s go downstairs dinner is ready.

------ * ------

They Three went downstairs... all of them with a suspicious look on their faces.



>Guys? What’s wrong....

>Nothing B!

>Sure Faith??... You do not look as if you really are ok. None of you


>We’re Five by Five B!

>Now That’s weird... nobody else but Faith says that Dawn!

>Um... I... 

>I think you guys are hanging out way too much.


>If you only knew B!

>W....WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

>How the fuck did you hear that??.. “Faith said really surprised cause she made that comment only for her”

>Well.. There is something about me... it’s called slayer hearing.

>Oh Fuck! I always keep forgetting it... even though I have it too.

>So what did you mean by that?

>By what???? ... I’m hungry B! Let’s just eat.. right guys?? we’re all hungry huh???


>Yes Buffy... We kind of are...


>Alright!!!... But... Faith, you’ll have to come with me and help me out with this.

<Oh Crap... now she is going to try to talk to me and get information out of my mouth... NO way! Nah-uh Miss Summers.>... >I have to make a call... why doesn’t... um... Red help you out.


>But Faith she asked YOU, not m...

>Ok! Thanks Red... you see B? She is always so helpful... so see you in a couple of mins.... “Faith winks at Willow”

>Ok! Buffy I’ll help you then... “Willow glares at Faith who leaves the house so she can make her fake call”.




*Door Closes*



Willow walks in the kitchen followed by a very confused Buffy. She was confused because of everything that was going on around her.... it was all awkward.



>Wills?

>Yeah...

>I know you don’t know... but do you know what is wrong with Faith?

>Buffy.. that doesn’t really make sense... “I know you don’t know but do you know...” Really It doesn’t make any sense...

> I know... but...you know what I mean...

>Yeah.. I do... I was playing... Willow smiled at the blonde girl.

>So...?

>Aw! Ok... Um... We think... Faith is in love with Tara... and eve...

>WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She said as she got surprised and broke a plate that was in her hand.

>Calm Down Buff... Yeah... at first I was like that too..

>That can’t be possible Wills... you joking right??

>Nah Uh... I’m not... and yeah I thought that wasn’t possible too... but she has proven me wro...



>What was all that noise??? Are you ok Buffy?? Cut yourself?

>DID YOU KNOW FAITH HAS A CRUSH ON YOU????

>Whoa!.. I ... I... um... Yeah... you could say that, I .... How do you know about it anyways?

>Wills told me...

>Du...Did.. you honey?


>Yeah... Sorry I didn’t believe you earlier baby, and yeah... I was jealous...

>I wish you hadn’t believed me anyways... Tara whispered


>Why?

>Why What???

>Why you wish she hadn’t believed you Tara?

>Arghh.. Tara growled... we really DO need to get rid of that slayer hearing of yours... you eavesdrop on everybody way too much...

>HEY! That is no....


>Faith is in love with who??????????? 

>Jeez Dawn.... You have got real huge ears....

>Are you telling me or what???... she said as she put her hands on her waist.

>It is none of your business.

>Of course it is... I am her gi... I am her friend..

>HA HA! Sorry if I laugh... since when have you two become friends.

>Since you stopped caring about me...or even trying to know what is going on in my life....

>WHAT?!?!? Hey Dawn! That is SO not fair... I DO care about you... you cannot just come and say that I don’t without even knowing all that I do for you every single day.... you are the most important person in the world for me Dawn... you don’t know...You sho...

>Ok ok! I take it back... I am sorry.... but just stop babbling... <Phew! Hopefully... she’ll buy that... according to me... it was a good one>.... She thought.



*Door Opens*



>Man!! It seems as though I missed all the fun here. Crap!!

>Shut up Faith... This is not fun...

>You wrong B!... She winked at Buffy.... plates broken on the floor... you all yelling at each other... D yelling at you... HELL I’M IN!!!... The brunette slayer grinned.... That only means.... CAT FIGHT!!! WOO HOO!!!

>he he... Dawn smiled at her girlfriend.


>Shut up Dawn... It is not Funny...

>Nothing is ever Funny to y...


>Ok... All of you QUIET !!!! .... Now Feed Me!!!!!


>What?!?!?!?!?! ... They all said in unison...

>Chill guys... I was just kidding.


>Ok... all of you go and sit down and Willow and I will serve dinner.

>Got it B!



*Door Closes*




They walked out of the kitchen and sit down at the table waiting for Buffy and Willow to come.



>Faith???... Tara Whispered

>Yeah... Faith Whispered back.

>We’re screwed.

>What?!?!?!

>Buffy and Willow they both know... or well think you are in love with me... so please please please... don’t deny it ok?? Would you please pretend it is true.

>This is weird T!... but I kind of have to.. otherwise she’ll find out about me and Dawn...


>HEY! How come I don’t have word in this?

>Baby... it is not you don’t have word... it is just that we need to do this.. otherwise they’ll find out about us... and we don’t want that right??


>Eh Ehm!!!


>Ok! We want that... cos as Tara said... B deserves to know... but not quite just yet right???... so that is why we have to do that... And please T! Stop acting like you are our mom.



Willow and Buffy both came out of the kitchen and sat down too. They were in the middle of the meal or so when Faith broke the peaceful silence.



>B! Would you please stop staring at me that way....

>Hm?? I am not staring at you.

>Yes you are B!

>Sorry I can’t help it... and she started laughing out loud so much she even was starting to choke.

>I don’t get you B!

>You... You... and Tara.... Oh God.... I need some water.... 

>Oh.. it was that.. I should have figured.

>Well... Um... I.... I need to go... excuse me.... and she walked out laughing.


Meanwhile, Tara and Faith were all blushing... and Willow and Dawn were both pissed... they were jealous imagining their girlfriends had a crush on each other... Dawn knew Faith didn’t like Tara... but she just couldn’t help feeling jealous.. and Willow... well, she was starting to doubt Tara didn’t like Faith back.



>Dawn?

>Yeah Willow???

>Can we talk?

>We talking!

>In private I meant....

>why?

>Cos I need to tell you something....

>um... ok I guess...


They went upstairs silently while the other two remained blushing and talking to each other about Buffy.


>So..?

>Yeah... listen... it is not that I am getting paranoid... but I have this feeling... I think Faith really does like Tara, though that is not what worries me... here is the thing... I think that Tara might like Faith back.

>What? You are saying they like each other???

>Yup... 

>So what are you implying here??? I mean why you had to drag me all the way here... just to tell me something.. that appears obvious?

>Nope... I mean... I want you to help me with some potion.

>But... Tara doesn’t like that you use magic just for that... 

>I know.. this is not real magic... it is something simple... it works only for a question... after the person drinks it... she’ll say the truth to whatever question she’s asked.... though since it is only one question, we got to be sure they do not listen to any other question before they listen to ours.

>Um... Okay! But... how are you going to do to make ‘em drink it.. and what are you going to ask them... and why don’t you ask Buffy to help you?? Why me???


>Well... we’ll mix it with a drink... we’ll ask them if they like each other... and I didn’t ask Buffy because she’ll take it as a game and will ask any stupidity.... and even if this sounds weird... you seem more mature than her right now.

>You sure it only works for one question??? I mean... Faith won’t say anything about her private life... or who she really likes in case she doesn’t like Tara?

>Nope... coz we’ll ask “Do you like each other??” and they’ll be looking at each other... They would say something else only if they are asked some other question... I believe they’ll say no... cos If they say yes... we.. or I mean I have a major problem.

>But ok Willow... suppose they say yes... what would you do... I mean suppose Tara says yes... you won’t even be able to confront her coz you casted some spell on her and she won’t remember having told you so.

>Yeah they will... this is not a spell... is more like a concentrate of plants that stimulates you and makes you feel like being honest, but only works for a couple of seconds.... and it makes you remember that you said yes and that you were honest and that when you answered you were eager to take also the consequences

>And won’t Tara get mad at you for doubting her???

>Nah! I don’t think so.... She’s done it tons of times to me... only that she would ask Buffy... and it is some sort of a game for us.

>Ok... I’ll do it then.



They went back downstairs. Faith was waiting Buffy got herself ready so they could go patrolling together... and Tara was sitting on the couch mesmerized in some Wicca book.


>Damn I’m thirsty.... Dawn said aloud to see if the others would say they were too and that they wanted a drink.

>Me too hun... can you get me something to drink?

>Sure


>Hun??????

>We’re just playing Red.

>ok.... you want something to drink too Tara??

>Um... sure... a glass of water will do!



Dawn and Willow went inside the kitchen, surprised their plan worked perfectly.


>Ok... Dawn... I have it here, you pour this half on Faith’s drink and I’ll pour this on Tara’s... we’ll ask them and it is over.

>Red! I insist it is better if you just ask her...

>Red?????? Ain’t that what Faith, ONLY FAITH, calls me?

>Whoa... I...

>I agree with Buffy... you guys are hanging out way too much...

>um... whatever... let’s do it before they go patrolling.

>Ok!






>Ok... Here you go Faith...


>Here baby.... Willow said handing the drink to Tara


They Drunk it and they were ready to answer the question. Buffy was ready and walked downstairs and saw Faith and Tara sitting on the couch finishing their drink, and also saw Dawn and Willow waiting anxiously till they were done drinking... but she didn’t really pay attention to it coz she was more focused on the outfit she was wearing... and didn’t understand why would they wait like that till the others were done with her drink. 



>Guys does this looks good?

>NO!.... Faith and Tara said in unison



>Crap!!!! Dawn and Willow said in unison.... You screwed it up.

>Yeah B! You screwed it up... Why are we whining Red??? .. Faith Smirked.


>Willow!!!!

>Yeah Babe???

>You didn’t do the truth thingie on us, did you???

>Well... I was just playing.... 


>But Wills... see it this way... at least now I know my clothes don’t look good and can go change them... and under other circumstances they would have said just yes.... And then she went back upstairs to change her clothes again.


>Fuck!.... now I’ll have to wait half an hour more for her... I knew she was going to do that... but I couldn’t help it... it didn’t look good and I just had to say it... neways.... Faith said to herself.



>Willow... whatever it was you could have just asked me... you know I wouldn’t lie to you.

>But it was just a game baby.

>Under any other circumstances it could be a game... but here I can assume you are doubting me... Tara said as she walked upstairs.

>Hey baby did you get mad... it was just a game .... And she followed her pissed girlfriend to her room and locked the door.




>Hey Baby!

>Yes?... Dawn replied to Faith with a very cute smile in her face.

>God! You make me melt... COME HERE!!

>Why??... Dawn said as she bit her own bottom lip.


Faith approached the younger girl, took her hand and lead her to the kitchen where she locked the door. Then held the girl in arms and sat her in the counter. She spread Dawn’s legs and got real close to her.... she started to stroke her thighs and Dawn would stroke Faith’s hair, but they were staring at each other the whole time.


>I love you Baby.

>I love you too D!... really.... you are the cutest thing baby.... and I don't know every time I see you... I melt.

>Really?.. same happens to me.

>You are so beautiful Dawn.... Hey... you never got to tell me... did you miss me at school?

>Course I did... I thought all day about you Faith.

>What did you think about??

>About doing this to you...

>Doing what???

>This...


And she jumped off the counter and hugged Faith, then held her waist and ran her hand through her lower back. Then she got even closer and kissed her, she bit gently Faith’s botton lip and also took it between her own lips and pull it a little... they kissed and then pulled away and remained holding hands and talking while looking at each other’s eyes.


>I can’t believe this has happened to me Faith.... 

>I can’t believe you’ve happened to me D!... I think I am in love with you.... And she kisses the girl... but she pulled away after a couple of seconds.

>What?

>B’s near...

>Oh ok.... hey are you  gonna go patrolling??

>Yup.... Faith answering while going to take the lock off the door.

>Man! I’ll miss you... 

>I’ll miss you too

>You promise???

>Yup!... I promise... Will you dream me???

>Always... hey! Can you go pick me up from school tomorrow...

>Ok! But if your friend comes... I’ll kick his ass this time.

>Oky Doky! ... Dawn Smiled.

>I’d give you a kiss but B is coming and she might hear... I LOVE YOU... Faith said with no sound

>Me Too... Dawn did the same way, only opened her mouth but no sound came out of it.



>B might hear what Faith????

>Um... a...


>Nothing Buffy... we’re just testing you... You are always listening to everybody else conversations... Shame on you!

>Oh yeah.. Like I am the only one here that does that.... And she looked at Dawn when she said that... So Faith... are we going???

>Yeah B!... but you took so long that probably the vamps got tired of waiting for you to pick the right T-shirt and went back to sleep... Faith smirked.

>Shut up Faith... Let’s go... and Dawn.. it is bed time...


>Yeah whatever... Bye Faith take care... She smiled at the brunette slayer, who smiled back at her.




*Door Slam*

------ * ------

Dawn went to sleep and woke up the next morning... she was gonna get dressed when she walked by her desk and she saw a little purple envelope with her name on it... She opened it and read it.





To Dawn:


Dawn, You are like the best thing that has happened to me since walking... and that is probably coz I needed of walking to get over to you.


Your fav girlfriend.

Faith.


P.S.: I LOOOOOOVE YOU!





<Man, she is soooo perfect.... I love her so much>.



She put the note in her backpack, inside her history notebook... so in case she got bored in class she could read it. Got dressed, went downstairs, took breakfast and left for school. She had told Buffy she was going to spent the whole afternoon with some friend at her house... but the truth was that she was going to spent whole Day with Faith.



She was at her history class, but she didn’t have time to get bored because they passed some video and the only thing she did was take notes and solve the stuff the teacher wrote down in the board. Justin wasn’t there... so she didn’t have to worry about talking to him or anything.

The bell rang, Dawn got her stuff together and walked out of the classroom with her friends and when she was at her locker, some guy calls her.



>Dawn!

>hey You!.... She said to Justin.

>I wanted to ask you some favor...

>And that would be....?

>Would you please lend me your history notebook... My dad’s car got a flat tire and we couldn’t really make it early enough.

>But I am not even a straight A student J!

<Fuck! I love it when she calls me J> .... >Hm... well... I need just the questions... got to look for my own answers either way.

>Well you got a point there... hold on... She said so she could take it of her locker and give it to him... here!

>Thanks...

>Hey I gotta run for my geometry class..

>Aw! I’d walk you... but I need to go to my French class...

>it is alright, don’t worry.

>See You.

>K!




<He said nothing about the date... well after all he did yesterday.. if I were him... well I wouldn’t even talk to me anymore... but... well.. I don’t care.>... Dawn thought, and she walked to her class concerned, very concerned because she hadn’t done her homework.

------ * ------

It was 2:30 and Faith went to the park to pick up her girl from school.


>Hey Yourself!!!

>Hi Faith...

>Did you miss your girlfriend???

>Which one???.... Dawn asked with a grin in her face.

>You offend me.... Faith said as pouting.

>I’m just kidding baby... you know... And she held the older brunette in arms and kissed her for a while...

>Uhmmm... you taste so good Dawn!!.. so you ready to go?

>Yeah... Bye Guys!


>See Ya!



Faith grabbed Dawn’s left hand and linked her fingers with hers.. with the other hand she helped her girlfriend carrying her backpack and they went to eat.

------ * ------

It was 7:00 pm. Dawn was still with Faith... and she had planned already staying over Faith’s place and calling Buffy to tell her she was doing so.


Meanwhile.... Justin hadn’t given up... he was standing right outside the Summers’ doorstep. <Ok!!! Breath, breath.... just knock, ask for Dawn... and hope she remembers about the date>.... <and if she ain’t home or doesn’t consider we should go out because of what happened yesterday.... I’ll just say I was here because I wanted to give you the notebook...It is worth the shot.>...<Ok! BUT JUST KNOCK!!!....>. So he knocked the door and Buffy went out to check who it was.



>Yes???

>Hi!... Um... Is Dawn home...

>No... she’s sleeping over at her friends house... Who is this... so I can tell her when she comes back home????

>Justin a Friend from school...

>You guys were going out???

>Um... No... I... I .. came here to give her back her history notebook... Justin said nervously.

>You can give it to me if you want...

>Yeah sure... Here.

>Ok! I’ll give it to her... Um... nice to meet you eh... 

>Justin.

>Aw... ok, nice to meet you Justin...

>Nice to meet you too... Um... I guess I’d better get going.

>Sure... um.. Take care, bye.... Buffy said smiling at the guy.

>Bye... He smiled sadly at her.



*Door Closes*



Buffy had Dawn’s notebook in her hands and was walking to her room so she could put it on her desk and the phone rang.



*Phone Rings*



>Hello?

<Uhmm... Dawn???

>No. This is Buffy, her sister.... she is not here right now... Can I take a message...

<Yeah!!... Ummm.. Tell her Melissa called and that there is a barbecue tomorrow’s afternoon at Brenda’s and please also ask her if she can call me back... 

>uhm... sure. But does she have your phone cause... yesterday she said she called you and your phone wasn’t working...

<Aw! That... I forgot... I had my number changed... can you please write down my number so you can give it to her???

>Sure... Let me just look for a piece of paper... hold on... Oh wait... Dawn’s notebook is right here.... OK! Tell me.

<ok it is 496 – 8424, same area code as yours....

>Ok Melissa got it... I’ll tell her when she comes back.

<Thanks... Bye

>Bye!





Buffy was about to close back the notebook when she saw a little purple envelope with Dawn’s name on it that called her attention.... <I wonder what it says>...<I probably shouldn’t be reading this... but she’d do the same thing if given the opportunity>... <Besides that Justin guy... he looks too nerd for Dawnie anyways.. and he was too well dressed just to give back a notebook... >..<She might have turned him down or something..>..<So let’s see what he wrote for my baby sis.... >... <though.... she probably wants to have the honor of reading it first... >.... <Nah!.. I’ll open it...>. So she did open it.







To Dawn:


Dawn, You are like the best thing that has happened to me since walking... and that is probably coz I needed of walking to get over to you.


Your fav girlfriend.

Faith.


P.S.: I LOOOOOOVE YOU!






>Huh ?!?!?!?!
