(Xander's Apartment)

ANYA: You sure you know what you're doing?

WILLOW: I think so. (pause) I don't know. It's ... not exactly well-explored territory, but ... I gotta try.

ANYA: A spell like this could be really dangerous for Buffy. And you.

TARA: Time ... oh, time is coming.

WILLOW: Shh. It's okay. I'm here. (to Anya) You'll look after her while I'm...

ANYA: Sure. What do I do?

WILLOW: Mostly ... just ... be here for her. And, and there's some pills in my knapsack. Half of one every two hours keeps her ... pretty mellow.

ANYA: Y-you think you'll be gone more than two hours?

WILLOW: (shrugs) Wish me luck.

ANYA: Okay.

(Anya reaches over to give Willow a punch on the arm. )

ANYA: (with forced enthusiasm) Good luck!

WILLOW: Thanks.

(she turns to Tara, turns Tara's face to look at her)

WILLOW: Okay. Be good now, sweetie. I-I'll be back as soon as I can, okay? We're good?

(Tara stares at Willow while she talks, but doesn't reply. Willow kisses her on the forehead, smiles at her, then turns away. Tara whines softly and holds out her hand toward Willow. Willow gathers up the stuff from the table and walks toward a closed door.)

ANYA: (softly) Good luck.
