WILLOW: It's getting late.

TARA: Wanna get up?

WILLOW: No. oh God, no! I was just thinking about Buffy.

TARA: Oh. She's still isn't back?

WILLOW: I didn't hear her. She wouldn't talk about what happened at the magic shop when she got home last night. She just wanted to know how close I was to tracing the camera signal back to the Empire of the Nerds. Then she left again.

TARA: I'm sure she'll be okay.

WILLOW: I'm not worried about her going up against Warren and the others. I know this is gonna sound crazy, but... I think something might be going on... with Spike and Buffy. I mean, she looked so *hurt* when she saw him with Anya. I think maybe --

TARA: (blurted) They've been sleeping together.

WILLOW: (laughing) No. I wouldn't go that far!

TARA: No, I mean she told me, they've been sleeping together.

WILLOW: Sleeping together? Mean like the naked kind of together?

TARA: I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but I promised her I wouldn't.

WILLOW: Does everybody else know? Am I the only one she didn't --

TARA: God, no! She didn't even mean to tell me. It just came out.

WILLOW: How could she hide something like this from me?

TARA: I think she was afraid of the look you'd get on your face. Kinda like the one you're wearing now.

WILLOW: Oh no, I'm not -- I'm just trying to understand.

TARA: So is she.

WILLOW: Wow. She probably really needs someone to talk to.

TARA: Probably. We've kinda busy. Maybe we didn't hear her come home.
