I want to search for her
WHO: Willow and Tara
WHERE: their apartment
WHEN: sometime after the whole Buffy is gone and Skrulls are here revelation!
WARNINGS: None that I can think of? Will update.
SUMMARY: The world seems to have gone crazy... which is their standard but, still. This calls for a private moment between the girls over dinner.
FORMAT: Quick
[There was something surreal about watching the world around her fall into paranoia and despair and not having a certain blond Slayer here. Tara can see it so clearly in her mind; all of them sitting together brain storming. They'd come up with something that resembled solid plan and through a lot of improvising the day will somehow be saved. Moments like these were when Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies by association shined brightest, Tara thought.
Buffy was gone though. The Scoobies were down to just two witches. Tara wasn't sure where they could fit into things here. All she did know for certain was that she had little intention of leaving Willow's side until this blew over. If it did.]
Baby... [Tara calls out from her spot by the stove. She's trying to make a spaghetti dinner for the two of them.]
Do you want some garlic bread or mashed potatoes with this?

She's quick to shut her laptop and join Tara in the kitchen.*
You need help? 'Cause either of those sound pretty good, but I feel sorta lame not participating at all.
no subject
I could use a good masher. I think I go a little too easy on the potatoes.

*A big smile. Things don't seem so overwhelming when they were having their semi-silly them time.*
no subject
no subject
*So she'll get right to it.*
no subject
How are you holding up?
no subject
*Siiigh. Smile.*
But it's gonna be... okay.
no subject
We can talk about it. If something is getting to you.... I just think we should be talking about it. Both of us.
[The world has gone insane without the Slayer to set it right. To say Tara was worried was an understatement.]
no subject
*Big deep breath.*
And it feels strange and wrong and I don't know what's gonna happen, and that's also... really not good.
*Nervous laughter, now.*
no subject
no subject
*Together means she's a little less afraid of herself.*
no subject
What are you so afraid of? Getting taken away or...? [Fill in the blanks please?]
no subject
I'm afraid of what could happen. I just don't know if it can be made okay, and it needs to be.
And I think I'm also afraid of -- *Her voice drops.* y'know, what I might do. If and when the going gets tough. Which is seriously selfish and unhelpful, but.

Remember who you are right now and hang onto that no matter what this city throws at us.
no subject
*Then, almost anxiously:*
What about you? How's all of this... what are you feeling?
no subject
If Buffy was here I know things would work themselves out. Without her... I don't want to doubt the others but, I don't feel good about this. It's going to get messy.

[They had Spike join the group for crying out loud. Though Tara had no grudge against him. He did his part to protect Dawn and showed her the truth about her heritage. It's the principle of it.]
Everyone here... they all just seemed to turn on each other the second they had an excuse to.
no subject
Sometimes I think this place just brings out the worst in people. A lot of them are so... something that they can't just help each other. Which isn't at all good.
no subject
[She's sighing too.] Do you think there's anything we can do to help them?
no subject
*Frown. Well, there might be. But she's not going to do it, or suggest it, or even think about it too hard.*
I think if we do whatever we can, it must count for something. Both in a getting-things-done way and maybe a showing-examples way, maybe.
no subject
[She's grasping at straws. Tara just wants to believe in them.]
no subject
Or something like that.
*Doubtful, maybe, but hopeful.*
no subject
Maybe that's all we can ask for right now.
no subject
Sometimes that's -- yeah. There's not a lot of other choices.
no subject
[Hear her perspective? It does make her feel better about it.]
no subject
Of course, baby. I'll always.
