Summary: Five times Willow met the Doctor - do you really need more of an explanation?
Note: I was trying to go for a light-hearted, omnipotent POV on this one, but I don't think it worked too well in the later parts. But this needed to be written, so I'm sticking with it.
Doctor #9
Time One
~!~
Time Two
The second time Willow met the Doctor, she was more prepared and he was more the stunned silent one of their meeting. Well, for all of thirty seconds, anyway. Because the instant Willow caught sight of him in the middle of a Santa Monica street, she literally saw red. The anger she'd been suppressing for the past months came flooding back, pushing her across the pavement and into his path.
One slap, several unrepeatable names and innumerable accusations later, they had a sort-of truce and a mild understanding of what was going on.
They sat in the back corner of a small coffee shop, and had what could be considered a civil conversation. She told him about the first time she met him and how his 'next morning' had actually been 'four days later', and he told her about time travel and aliens. Oddly enough, she'd been prepared for the time travel aspect, and even a little of the alien bit - all thanks to the meeting with the Doctor that hasn't happened for him yet.
Then she told him about magic and demons, and he got a strange look on his face. Not the look of disbelief or scepticism, but like she was a puzzle he was trying to unravel.
They sat there, talking for hours, sharing tales of their various adventures, until the Doctor told her about his latest escapade involving living plastic and a girl named Rose.
“Go back for her,” she told him. “Go back and ask her again.”
The Doctor was silent for several moments as he contemplated this, weighing his choices against the possible outcomes.
“You could come with me,” he offered. “Save the world. Have fantastic adventures.”
“But I'm already saving the world,” she told him, and the Doctor had to agree. So he decided take her advice and give Rose another chance. Even if he did end up looking needy and desperate. In the end it could quite possibly be worth it.
And so they said their goodbyes, Willow anticipating that she'd never see the time travelling alien again.
As she walked away from him, Willow never noticed him pointing a metal device with a glowing blue tip at her back. And she never realized that as he read the results of his scan, he made a decision to keep an eye on her.

(For those who didn't catch it, this is my take on where the Doctor was during those 18 seconds the TARDIS was gone, at the end of Rose.)
