Willow blushes and takes a deep red colour and smiles very shyly.

Giles : " Willow, you do what you think it’s best for you… You have to ask yourself some questions first… You have to ask yourself if you’re completely over Oz, and you have to realise if you’re ready to make a step forward in your life." (with a caring voice)

Willow : " She seems nice…and understanding… we had a conversation earlier in the day and she makes me feel good, peaceful inside…" (calmly)

Giles : " Get to know her better… It’s the best tip I can give you…"

Willow : " It’s getting late, is it okay if I leave or you had more stuff to check with me?"

Giles : " Yes you can go…"

Willow : " Thank you, and I won’t forget what we talked about… And if something urgent pops up let me know… Good night." (smiling)

Giles : " I will, good night Willow." (smiling back)

Willow steps out of the Magic Box and walks to the college residence. On her way there, she thinks…

Just thinking about Oz and Willow starts to cry again…

Willow is now walking on the campus and when she looks straight ahead she sees a group of people and approaches them. They’re practising magic. Willow wants to take part of this group, but it’s getting late and she has to study for a bio exam. She passes close to the group but without integrating it.

"Willow! " A voice calls.

Willow turns to see who’s calling her. Tara is standing there smiling and waving at her. Willow blushes.

Tara : " Where are you going? " (intrigued)

Willow : " To bed, it’s been a busy night, plus I have a test tomorrow."

Tara : " Oh! (disappointed) Well, good night than!"

They both look each other in the eyes.

Tara and Willow : "Will I see you tomorrow?" (together)

They laugh.

Willow : " Sure! in the afternoon if it’s fine with you… " (shy)

Tara : "It’s perfect!" (blushing) " See ya tomorrow!" (smiling)

Willow : " See you! Good night!"

Willow continues to walk to her room and she’s feeling uncomfortable but in a good way, and quite exited for tomorrow.
