“Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday…”
Summary: A lazy summer day, a hammock, a glass of lemonade and a book. Only one more thing could make this absolutely perfect.
Prompt: 48 hour challenge
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Willow/Tara
Rating: G
Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy. Joss does. If I did Tara wouldn’t be dead.
Archiving: Passion and Perfection, FanFiction.Net, Spit Lines Like These, Saffic. Anywhere else let me know.
Note: Tara didn’t die in my little corner of the Buffy verse. Her, Willow and Buffy (she went back to school) are juniors in college.

Willow leaned back in her hammock, settling into it quite comfortably. On a little table next to her was a book (“Good Omens” by Terry Pratchett, if you wanted to know) and a glass of Dawnie’s special lemonade sweetened just right.
          Ah yes. This was the life. Classes had been done for almost a week, and the red-head had taken every opportunity she could to enjoy her time off, even taken to sleeping in and generally being lazy.
          Hmm… lemonade, classes done, a new book to read… yup, this is pretty nice.
          Willow picked up her book and opened it to the first page. She began to read… or at least tried to. Something was bothering her, though. But what? She put her book down and wrinkled her nose as she tried to think. What was she missing?
          “ok, let’s see. Book? Check. Lemonade?” she took a sip of it. “Yep. Just right too. Hammock all secured? Uh huh. Sun block? Double-check. Ok. So what is it I’m missing?”
          “how about a tare-bear to cuddle with?”
          Willow rolled over and looked to see her lover leaning against a tree, smiling in that way that still made Willow’s heart skip a beat. She grinned back, “maybe. But where am I going to find one of those?”
          Tara sidled up to the hammock and grinned even wider, reaching down and slipping off her sandals. “Oh, I could think of somewhere.” With that, she crawled into the hammock next to willow and snuggled in. “so what are we reading?”
          Willow picked her book up and using one hand, opened it while her other hand tangled in Tara’s hair, gently stroking it. “Good Omens.”
          “ooh! I’ve been wanting to read this one.” Tara settled her head on Willow’s shoulder. “well, go on. I’m listening.”
          Willow chuckled. “All right then. Chapter One.”
