Tara laughed a little at Buffy's reaction to what she'd told Dawn. She found it sweet how caring Buffy was to her little sister and Tara again found herself wishing she had someone that would care that much for her. Thinking that, she couldn't help but glance at Willow, knowing she was very caring... okay, not good thoughts right now.
Tara threw a smile to Dawn after she thanked her and continued to watch the banter between the two Summers girls. Her smile vanished however when the other slayer approached her. Tara couldn't help but be intimidated by her, but she didn't move back or anything. Her normally pale cheeks flared pink and her head snapped down when she heard what Faith said. Was she being that obvious?
She continued staring at the carpet, not game enough to look at anyone, for she was sure that everyone had seen Faith talk to her. And if Faith had noticed it, then whose to say the others hadn't too? Again when Ally tried to reassure them that she wasn't about to harm them, Tara looked up slightly at the vampire. She had to admit she had jumped to conclusions... maybe she should give Ally a chance. She gave the vampire a tiny smile, showing she would at least try to accept her.
Tara couldn't resist looking at Willow and the smile she was getting made her smile back. When Willow touched her arm, Tara nearly jumped with the jolt she felt at the connection. Tara raised her eyes to look in Willow's, wondering if she felt it too. Then she realised that them standing there like that would only add fuel to the fire, so Tara gave her biggest effort to move towards the door and out of Willow's touch.
"L... let's get this party started." She announced as bravely as she could, then moved outside and waited for Willow to join her there.

A smile spread across Xander's face when Tara began to warm with the presences of Ally. After all Ally deserved it.
"Yes!" Xander agreed with Tara, "let's get this moving" he followed her outside, his coat slightly dancing in the wind. He stood out on the footpath waiting for the others. It seemed like they were taking for ever.
"So Tara" he said, rocking back and forth on his heels. "How are you?" He asked her awkwardly.

Smiling a little Dawn nodded, hearing Ally "Really...it's totally cool...I mean Buffy and the others have trust An..." Cutting off there, she remembered Buffy's history with Angel and quickly looked at her sister, swallowing quietly. "I mean...we've trusted someone else like you before and he turned out to be pretty cool." Shrugging, she looked back to Ally and grinned "Welcome to the Scoobies."
Looking at Willow and Tara, she hid a smile seeing Willow touching Tara's arm. She was so glad that they appeared to be working things out between them. Now she just wished that everyone would just step back and let them do things their way. But apparently that was too much to hope for. Shrugging she nodded, hearing Xander and grinned walking toward the door and opening it "Come on people, let's move!"

Ally smiled at Dawn and Tara, "Thanks guys." She said, a warm light of contentment filling her, more satisfying than any blood she would ever drink. She smiled at tara and Willow's rising yet stuttering heart beats at every smile and touch, especially Tara's, she let out a little giggle to herself, if someone heard it oh well. "I agree with Dawn lets get to this awesome party, come on Sunnydalians show me the best you got." She grinned wickedly, her eyes sprakling, as a human she'd lvoed parties, even more now as a vampire since lethargy never really kicked in.

(OOC I assume that we're walking to The Bronze?)
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that" he used an angry tone at Buffy, what was she doing letting another vampire into the group? Well if Buffy could trust Ally, Giles could too, besides it's Halloween, evil takes a day off.
Giles followed after Xander and Tara immediately, as soon as he walked through the door, the cool autumn breeze nipped as his skin. Made him regret dressing up as a Roman as clothing is limited.
He stood in the akward silence with Tara and Xander, and waited for everyone else to adjourn outside. They were shortly joined by Ally and Dawn, as soon as they walked outside Giles began walking up the path and turned in the direction of The Bronze, hoping everyone else would follow his lead.

Tara heard Xander's agreement, glad someone was finally coming outside to join her. She was growing more uncomfortable being on her own, yet she was nervous being near Willow... it was getting crazy. She looked up at Xander after he spoke to her. "I'm g... good, thanks. You?"
She then watched as Dawn, Ally and Giles came outside too and noticed with a little panic that Giles was already leaving the Summers yard. "Uh, I'm going to wait for Willow. You guys go ahead." Tara smiled shyly and continued to watch the door, hoping that she and Willow could walk together and maybe talk more before arriving at the Bronze.

Willow watched Xander and Tara walked out, and Gile, and Ally and Dawn, she needed a moment to compose herself, this was nuts! She'd never even felt this for a guy before never mind a girl she'd only just met. She knew Buffy and Faith was watching so she turned away from them and took a few deep breathes before stepping out into the night air. She jumped a little and felt her cheeks annoyingly flame up again when she saw Tara standing there waiting. "Hey." She said breathelessly, "Did you wanna walk together?" She said, surprised the words came out coherently, or at all for that matter.

Everyone had walked out of the door except her and Faith. Buffy took one last moment to make sure her costume, hair and veil were all in place, then moved towards the door too. "Well fellow Slayer, tis our night off to have a blast!" Buffy told Faith with a flair of royalty, then looked out at her friends from the doorway.
Buffy was glad that Giles had finally led the way to the Bronze, where their great night would kick off. She glanced at Dawn now, a little concerned but also proud. Her sister sure knew how to handle more things than an average sixteen year old and for that Buffy loved her more than ever. Her eyes then went to Willow and Tara and she smiled to herself, happy for Willow. A happy Willow made Buffy more than glad, seeing as she hadn't see her friend the same since Oz had left. Perhaps Tara could change that...
Buffy overheard Willow ask Tara if they could walk together, so Buffy saw that as her cue to get moving. "Come on, Faith, and shut the door behind you. I so do not want to come back to a empty house... I like my furniture non stolen." She called to Faith, then made her way to catch up with Giles.
"Aren't they cute, Giles?" She said once she'd reached his side, referring to the two witches. "Makes me wish there was someone out there for me." She paused, her eyes widening in horror. "Oh no, I didn't mean... no, I'm still on the straight train before you ask."

"That's...Good" Xander said lost to words for a reply to Tara. He hoped that in time they would become better friends and have more to talk about, but that wouldn't happen anytime soon. Xander was glad when Dawn and Ally arrived out to break the awkward silence, and soon after Giles.
He said nothing and followed Giles up the path, a few meters behind him. Xander was planning to walk with Willow but he noticed that something was going on between her and Tara. So he left them alone to develop whatever kind of relationship they were having.
He walked alone to his thoughts, he moved out of the way of Buffy running up to catch up to Giles.

Smiling and seeing that everyone was starting to take the hint about leaving Willow and Tara alone to talk, Dawn looked over at the two of them and hid a grin. She honestly felt glad that the two of them were hitting it off. Looking at Buffy and catching up to her she shook her head and laughed "And you tell me that men aren't all cracked up to be."
Turning and walking backwards, she shrugged "Really Buffy...maybe there is some single men there tonight..." Looking out of the corner of her eyes, she grinned again before looking down at the shoes as they walked "Heck...maybe I'll be on the lookout for someone tonight myself..."
Watching for her sister's expression, she looked up and turned to walk beside her and Giles "Just kidding Buffy...Well...maybe just a little..."

"Mmh?" Giles responded to Buffy absent mindly when she caught up to him, he was lost in his thoughts. "Oh. Willow and Tara?" He turned his head to look at them, "I guess they do look quite comfortable together, they're going to be good friends" he said, not realising there was something more between the two then just friendship.
Giles held a hand up to Buffy to tell her to stop talking, "Buffy I know what you mean, I really do and it's too much information..." he trailed off, finally catching on what Buffy meant by Willow and Tara being comfortable together. "Oh good God" he said shocked.
Giles had found nothing wrong with homosexuality, he just didn't see Willow gay. After all she was with Oz for a very long time.
When Dawn caught up he wasn't surprised by what she said to her sister. "Really Dawn, tonight isn't about finding boys. It's Halloween" he stopped talking, saying all he needed to say. Halloween was a special night, and he knew he didn't need to explain to anyone what it meant.

Tara watched as everyone else walked past her, glad they understood and didn't ask questions. She swung her head in Willow's direction when she heard her voice and a huge smile covered her face. "I-I would love to." She replied.
She playfully hooked her arm through Willow's, hoping it looked innocent enough. Again, she felt the jolt of electricity at the connection, but she didn't pull away this time. "Shall we?" She just couldn't get the smile off her face and couldn't remember the last time she'd felt so happy inside.
"So... Willow. Tell me a-about yourself." Her confident tone she held before was now gone and she mentally cursed herself for going back to her shy, stuttery mode.

Willow smiled as Tara hooked her arm through hers and felt the electricity again, she couldn't help but return Tara's smile, it was so beautiful and happy. Exactly how Willow felt now being around Tara. She blushed a little when Tara asked her to tell her about herself, she wasn't that interesting, or at least she didn't think so.
"Well there's not much to know really, not that's interesting." She said, very quickly, Chill woman! she thought to herself, took a deep breathe and slowed down, "Well I've lived here all my life, I'm a witch, I help out Buffy with her vampire slayings and am often the one that gets kidnapped or beat up worst." She laughed at the last bit, it was true but if she didn't laugh she'd cry.

Faith listended to the friendly banter, she could tell that this was going to be on hell of a night with all the scoobs together. Also the fact of it being halloween, chances were that they were going to be in some sort of trouble.
Faith took out her baton and smiled cheekily at Buffy as she made her way out the door. "Dont stress B, Ill make sure to leave a few chairs in place" Faith was the last to walk outside, following the others. She quickly locked the door and joined the group, pulling at her tights as she walked. They were slightly chaffy.
Faith walked behind Willow and Tara who seemed to be in conversation, which was good. She was walking beside Buffy and Xander. Faith over heard Giles and said "Its all about the boys, the two B's, boys and booz" Faith grinned excitedly. "Right B?"

Hearing Giles, Dawn grinned as she saw him shocked over Tara and Willow "Duh Giles...get on the boat will ya?" Rolling her eyes and hearing his comment that Halloween wasn't about finding boys she sighed and shook her head "I know Halloween isn't about finding boys...I was just teasing Buffy..." Deciding to kid around again she shrugged "Halloween's about the candy really...why do you think all the candy factories make so much money this time of year?"
Smirking a little and waiting to hear what Giles would say to that, she looked over at Faith and grinned again "Boys and booze? Hm..." Looking at Buffy, she raised an eyebrow "Maybe I could snag something..." Knowing that Buffy would flip out about her drinking, she laughed a little "Chill Buff, I'm kidding."
