I watch over Willow as she chants in Gaelic, an ancient language that many complicated spells are written in. She looks so beautiful as she stares over the small fire burning, releasing magical fumes that can enhance her power. She has that cute little crease in the middle of her forehead, that shows you how focused she is. I have every faith in Willow that she will be able to cast the spell and allow me to talk to her and her to reply back for the first time in five years. I have missed her so much, and I saw how devastated she was after my death. I was happy when she found Kennedy, because I saw how much they liked each other and I saw how Kennedy was willing to protect my 'Willow tree.'

I focus my attention back on Willow as she finishes up chanting in Gaelic. She now looks expectantly around her. "Willow?" I call. "Can you hear me?" She looks around expectantly, and my heart skips a beat when her eyes come to rest on me. However, when i start walking towards her, I realize she was not staring at me, she was instead staring at the clock behind me. I don't let my hopes drop. I heard Andrew warning Kennedy when they were grabbing the supplies for the spell that it could take a while for the spell to work, as it was a tricky and multilayered spell.

I see Willow watch around the room waiting for me to appear. This goes for a few minutes, before she falls asleep. I decide to rest next to her, with my hand on her shoulder. I cannot actually feel it, but i will be able to when the spell starts worling, so when I do, I will realize the spell worked and I will be able to feel her soft skin. I rest beside and quickly fall asleep.

Willow and I both awaken to Kennedy knocking on the door and asking Willow what happened with the spell. I see her start to cry, and my heart starts to break. I can't stand to see her like this. She is screaming out now, saying she apologizes to me for being so stupid.

"No, Willow, it's not your fault. I love you for trying, and I promise to find a way for us to talk." I reassure her. I know she can't hear me, but I like talking to her like this. It helps me too, and I fully believe that on a spiritual level, she can hear me. She calms down, and Kennedy continues to talk to her and to relax her. I tune then out for a bit, just focusing on Willow.

I watch Willow as she goes to sleep, and sit next to her, stroking her hair softly. She can't feel it, and neither can in, but it gives me comfort. I continue with that until I realize I can feel Willows hair. Not just sense it, but actually feel it. I climb off the bed and stand in front of her.

"Willow?"

A/N: Okay, so I decided not to make this POV last as long, I chose just to write what was going through Tara's head while watching the world below her. This was surprisingly difficult, as I don't think the TV show really showed us how Tara thought, or maybe that's just me. Anyway, I hope you all liked this! I'm sorry it was late, but I was traveling and didn't have much time to write. I know this was a bit shorter, but I didn't add as much backstory, as Willows was revealed in her POV, and so was Tara's. Please request more ships, as I really enjoy writing things like this, even if they are hard. Most of them won't be this short. Because I decided on a whim to write Tara's part, I hadn't planned on revealing much of what she had been doing, because I wrote most of her after life story in Willows part. In other ships, I will try and make them longer, and I will try and plan out a bit better what will be happening. I will most likely add both POVs to the one-shots, and they will probably be in the same chapter, which may make the one-shots take a bit longer to write. I think that's all for now, so bye!
