sam, Romy – She sensed something in the graveyard that seemed familiar. Mysterious huh???
Susan – Hello!

So glad to see you here. More on the bantering to come.
Natti – Good question, re: Tara’s innocence. Enjoy your vacation.
Mic – I think that the updates will slowly become slightly longer but nothing like my usual or like Chris’ mammoth updates. Good guesses about Tara’s senses. Ha ha to the thought of Faith as a “mystery guest.” Makes me picture her stepping out from behind a big yellow curtain on some game show.
Insanity – Glad you’re enjoying Faith. Good guesses about Willow or Buffy.
russ – Good figuring on why Buffy’s kill count is down. And glad that you like the Faith & Tara parts. Yes, I’m quite clever.
Justin – Thanks. I’m glad you liked it. Yes, most people guessed Faith. Good prefictive powers but I’m again neither confirming nor denying.
The Rose24 – I hear you about Faith and Tara, but honestly, I could see them being friends in a different world.
bindingwiccan – Glad you love it and her.
Molly – Good guesses.
Grimaldi – Thanks. More to come on the subject on another slayer.
veiled isis moon – Chuffed – is that bad or good? Good guesses on Tara & Faith but time will tell.
P – One question certainly answered and the other coming.
Kajun – Glad you like Mary’s humor. She’d love the feedback so go ahead. Glad you like so much.
Spikeizmine87 – That’s called a ringing endorsement. Thanks.

Thoughts in italicsStill keeping their senses tuned to their surroundings, the two girls began to walk toward their garage apartment. The small space was approximately half-way between the UC Sunnydale campus and Sunnydale High School so getting to either required a walk or bike ride of a few miles. Fortunately both girls were in good shape and enjoyed physical activity. Additionally, the weather in Southern California was usually good.
“So you never told me about your day, T,” Faith prompted as they left the quiet graveyard and turned onto a neighborhood street.
“It was good,” Tara began, excited to finally get to talk about the day. “Everyone was really n-nice and I think it will be a good fit.”
“You’re gonna be great,” Faith encouraged her.
“You r-really think so?” Tara asked, her insecurity showing between the close friends.
“Damn girl,” Faith continued, “I know so. First of all, you are the smartest person I ever met.” Tara blushed slightly and nodded. “Second, you read like a demon and remember everything you read.”
“B-but do you think they’ll l-listen to me?”
Faith stopped walking to put her hands on the blonde’s shoulders. “If you were my teacher,” she told her earnestly, “I’d listen to every word you said not to mention not being able to take my eyes off you.”
Buyoed by her friend’s words, Tara nodded her head. As they started walking she pointed out, “Student teacher you know, not t-teacher yet.”
“I know,” Faith answered, “but you’re teaching and that’s what’s important.” She waited a second before deciding to tease her friend some more: “And did you meet any hotties?” The blonde just exhaled loudly. “Ahhh,” Faith teased, “there must have been someone there. Some cute little high school girl?”
“You’re a pervert. You know that,” Tara pronounced but not before the image of the cute redhead from this morning flashed through her head. She shook her head as if that could get the adorable image to leave. “Anyway,” she announced with grandeur, “I’m
so done with casual sex.”
Faith laughed at her friend’s pronouncement. “A week of the hottest tail on the planet is not much of a casual sex career,” she sneered.
Again putting her key in the lock and jigging it, Tara stated, “First off, it was a week and a half. Second, modesty much? And third: do you even want to get started on the topic of a career of casual sex?” Faith waited a second while the girl held her hand to the doorway and whispered an incantation under her breath. “All clear,” the blonde announced and entered the apartment.
“Points taken, T,” Faith agreed, “but I want you to be happy.”
“I do too, F,” Tara replied jokingly, “but I don’t think that dating a high school student is going to do that, no m-matter how cute she may be.”
“So there is a hottie,” Faith shouted triumphantly. She jumped on the girls’ beaten down couch. “T has a hottie!” she sung. “T likes jail bait. Tara likes her some hottie. Tara likes the jail bait.” Her singing was quickly halted as Tara tackled her from behind put her hand over the girl’s mouth. Within minutes the two girls were laughing as they had a beer to relax from their day.
