Tara's Dorm Room, UC-Sunnydale, Wednesday Afternoon

[life_inshadow]

So Willow was off doing Scooby stuff again, but Tara wasn't all that jealous. Willow clearly adored the whole hanging out with the Slayer whiz-bang of it, and Tara was happier when she wasn't almost getting killed

There was a mad pounding on the door to Tara's room. "Omigosh, open up!" Asher yelled through the doorway. "Tara! Tara! You have to open up!"

Of course Asher knew her name and where she lived! How could he not, after so many nights of sitting in their dorm room talking about how amazing Jonathan's new movie was or his new fashion line or trying to figure out where to hang the newest Jonathan poster...

"Asher," Tara beamed in return as she pulled the door open. She hadn't thought she had much in common with Warren's roommate at first, but Jonathan united everybody. "Come on in. What's up?"

It was one of the ways that Jonathan made the world a better place, right?

"You'll never, ever, ever guess what arrived in the mail today!" he announced, doing a happy little dance in her doorway. Fortunately, he didn't make her wait too long, pulling out a glass bottle from his bag and showing it to her. It said Jonathan on the front and had a digital picture in the back.

That was right. Asher had gotten his pre-ordered Jonathan-scented cologne.

"They say it smells just like him!"

Tara crowded right in and twisted the top off the cologne bottle, sniffing deeply. "Like sunshine and puppies," she said. "Really ... attractively masculine sunshine and puppies."

Her voice went a tiny bit dreamy as she spoke.

Warren was feeling... well, pretty darn good, today, as he stopped by Tara's room, a book in hand and a grin on his face.

"Tara?" Knock knock, Tara! "Tara, are you home? I mean, you have to be home. I got it, I got the new book!"

Yes, the same one she was reading. It could be, like, a book club! A Jonathan book club!

Tara was off her bed like a shot and over to open the door. "Oh my god, you have to read it," she said. "It's about what happened that time Jonathan was a spy inside the kremlin during the cold war."

Back before they were born. What?

"Oh, wow," Warren breathed, his voice all awe and his expression very much the same. "It makes me want to book a ticket to Portalocity to back then, to see if I can witness it for myself."

Because that wouldn't be a horrible idea or anything. No way.

"That would be the most amazing thing," Tara nodded. "Even better than watching him dust vampires! More -- special, you know?"

And it'd one-up Willow for sure. She waved Warren toward her bed. "Sit down. I just barely started reading."
