"Just a minute!"

She called, anxiously, through the bedroom door. It wasn't that she wasn't ready yet. Just that...there were a few last things that had to be done. Like packing. And finding shoes that were both comfy and warm enough to make the trek. And it didn't help that she had only really, truthfully woken up about a half hour ago. But give her another three (or so) minutes and Buffy was out by the front door. She was wrapped in a few sweatertastic layers and there was a nap-sack hanging from her right shoulder.

"I think my alarm clock is a little slow." She delivered the excuse with her best look, I'm charismatic and very very sorry so forgive me face.

Well, it helped that Willow didn't have the water actually ready and she was more interested in the fact that Buffy had responded than how long she had to wait.

"Okay!"

So, instead of worrying with what Buffy was up to in there, Willow set out a plate of cookies, as promised, two for each of them to get them started for the day. The rest was in a basket she'd found the other day. It wasn't quite the perfect picnic basket, but it worked. And she didn't mind carrying it, either.

When Buffy turned up a few minutes later, Willow just grinned at her expression and offered the plate of cookies she held. "Your reward for getting up on time. Cookies, as promised."

"Some day? I'm gonna wake up and some kind of deity will tell me that I was way too lucky to ever have such a thoughtful pal for so much of my life."

Having Willow here in Luceti had made Buffy rather...sensitive to how freaking awesome her friends were. And how much they really had to put up with over the years. Willow and Xander had been vanilla high school kids when Buffy had blustered into their life and turned it upside down but they didn't shrink away from it. The Slayer was sure there was a gold medal in there somewhere.

But for now, she grabbed a cookie and bit into it with relish. Chew, chew. Swallow. "So someone said something about nudity being involved with the whole hot springs experience, but I've packed my cutest tankini anyway."

As far as Willow was concerned, Buffy had put up with more than her share of trouble from the redheaded best friend and she voiced as much.

"Not unless that same deity tells me I was way too lucky to have stumbled into your path back in high school." She shrugged a little and slid the plate on top of the picnic blanket tucked around the food. "I probably wouldn't be who I am now if I hadn't."

And it was her turn to take a cookie and bite into it as she motioned towards the outside. "I've got one, too. We should probably eat on the way, though, or we might not get there til this evening!" And that would just be a waste of a perfectly good girl's day out.
