Willow was back for Homecoming, of course. She wanted to see her friends again, and all the things that she missed about the island, like the squirrels and of course coffee

Parker breezed in and headed straight for the counter. "I need twenty pounds of coffee and twenty pounds of flour delivered to the park after sundown. And a mocchachino." Turning around, she spotted Willow, and did an elaborate double-take. "Willow! It's been forever! Air-kiss!"
"Parker!" Willow said. "Oh my gosh it is so good to see you when I haven't seen you in like forever and thank goodness it's Homecoming weekend where we all come together for reuniony purposes and do you think if I got a coffee stain on this shirt I could use Tide to get it out?"
"This is what I have minions for," Parker told her, totally serious. "Or you could wave your hand and magic it away. Or, you could make an offering to Legba, not that I would do that, and erase it."
Parker blinked. "And how much coffee did *you* have?"
"Not enough," Willow told her. "There's so much to do for the wedding it's like it never ends! I swear one single day feels like it takes an entire month to go through. Also? I'm convinced I celebrated the Fourth of July and Columbus Day within the same week. Which is really strange considering we don't have either one of those holidays in Narnia."
After the scene with Marty and Abby in the hotel, Angela just needed air. She wandered through town until she found the Perk, where she ordered a chai latte and promptly began to season it with the salt of her tears.
Willow got a sad, distracted wave by way of greeting.
Willow looked at Angela in a concerned fashion. "Are you okay? Have you considered trying Taster's Choice coffee? I think the guy who delivers it is already dating his neighbor but it's very refreshing all the same."
"I ... I don't know, Willow," Angela said. "We were fine since my sister started recovering from her car crash injuries, but now my fling with Bel has come back to haunt me, and I don't know who my daughter's father is. And she's acting out." Angela sighed. 'Teenagers are so difficult."
"Wow, that's almost as bad as the time I took that cruise that ended up being a whole lot like that movie with the annoying Celine Dion song, only miraculously without copyright violations," Willow said. "Though I'll never understand where the icebergs came from since we were theoretically traveling through a tropic zone."

All that was actually canon! Holy crap!He paused dramatically in

This was because she did. She needed tea.
She glanced over her shoulder to make sure she hadn't lost her amnesiac older sibling.
