Author’s Notes: After seeing Tara sing Creature of the Night and Giles sing You’d Better Wise Up, Janet Wice I had to write this. The image of the two of them got me thinking, and this resulted.

A Small Misunderstanding

By Cobalite Ice

"Please, Willow, this isn’t what it looks like." Giles was backed against a wall, a sword pressed to his throat.

"So that isn’t my girlfriend over there dressed in a bra and torn slip?" Willow inquired with an angry edge to her voice.

"Well, actually it is, but if you’d just let us explain."

"Explain why you’re in a leather corset and fishnet stockings?" She gave a very un-Willow like snort.

"Please calm down." Tara tried to calm her lover down. "This is all a big misunderstanding."

"Gee, how could I misunderstood walking in on a man I thought was my friend chasing you around the room half naked. God Tara, you didn’t even have the decency to cheat on me with another woman." Willow dropped the sword from Giles neck, and sat down with a thud on the couch.

Tara sighed. "I guess I should have told you what was going on to begin with, but I didn’t know how to."

"Willow, I’m going out with your mentor who’s twice my age would have been a good starting point!"

"Willow, there’s nothing going on between me and Giles. It’s just we didn’t think you’d like to go with us."

"You’re going out like that?" Willow deadpanned.

Giles looked at his high-heeled shoes. "It’s a rather special occasion. Something I used to do as a young man, and Tara told me she’d like to go along."

"You used to dress up as a woman? I thought you were part of a satanic cult." Willow just hung her head. Oh why hadn’t she just home rather than come by the magic shop?

Tara burst out laughing, and Willow gave her a shocked look. "I’m sorry, it’s just…….Willow, we’re going to see Rocky Horror. It’s the twenty fifth anniversary."

"Rocky Horror?" Now Willow was lost.

"Yeah. Giles noticed I was feeling left out of your group, and when he saw the flier in my notebook, he mentioned it had been years since he’d gone in England."

"Okay. Whatever you say. I’m not being seen in public with you two like that though. Have fun." Willow walked out, shaking her head.

Watcher and Wiccan turned to each other and shrugged. "Some people just don’t like the cult scene."

HAPPY TWENTY FIFTH ROCKY HORROR!
