It was cold in Sunnydale. Willow and I had decided not to put up a tree, so we would exchange gifts when the time came. I was going to wrap mine, I love the surprise aspect of it, the look on Willow's face

She had been rehearsing all the possible things to say to Tara. They ranged anywhere from 'hey I found this shapeshifty girl, can we keep her?' to a more appropriate line about the girl needing a place to crash for a bit. But, Tara caught her off guard. "Hey Honey." she managed... "Freya here need a vamp free place to go. " she race over to Tara and sat next to her on the floor, throwing her arms around her.
"No need to be worried, baby" she said and pulled back. She grabbed Tara's hand and pressed it to her chest. "See? All here, all safe... All yours" she added under her breath.
Then she turned back to Freya. "Make yourself at home... Oh, this is Tara."
I nodded to Willow. That's right. All mine. All...mine! My day just got a little brighter.
"Oh!" I said, "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.." I blushed. Aggh, stupid nervousness! "W-Willow's right. My n-name is Tara, um..m-make yourself at home." I said, gesturing to the couch, living room, etc, in one large swoop, hoping I didn't overdo it. "If I may ask..th-that is if it's n-not too rude, what e-exactly are you hiding from?"
"Oh well, it's just my Dad. He...kinda went nuts, and now he's after me." Maybe coming here wasn't such a good idea...involving them with my problems..
"Um...are you sure this isn't a problem..coming here?"
I nodded. "She's right. We usually have small spells around the house, s-sort of like...a-an a-alarm system in case someone tries to break in. No one really knows about them, because no one..tries to break in.." I shuffled my feet. I hated making myself look like an idiot.. "But they're still there..j-just in case..."

I hugged Willow back.
"I was worried...I-I don't know why..but.."
I shook my head.
"Vamp free? W-well, you've come to the right place!"
Still nervous, Tara? Why for?

She looked back to Freya and lied, partially. "Yeah, no problem. We have big friends with big pointy sticks. I'll call Buffy later just so she knows."

Now they were nervous, I could tell.
