"Where's Xander?" Buffy asked as she put her cappuccino on the small table.
"I don't know" Willow sighed. She and Buffy had been waiting for him to show up for nearly twenty minutes now.
"I wonder if anything happened to him" Buffy said as she took her seat next to Willow.
"He's probably just with Diana" Willow said bitterly. She hated it when Xander mooned over another girl.
"There he is" Willow turned her head so quickly that she pulled a muscle. When she saw him enter she almost wished that she hadn't turned.
"Hey guys" Xander said, as he strolled over to their table, with Diana. She had her arm around his waist and he had his arm over her shoulder.
Buffy thought, when she saw the crest fallen expression on Willow's face.
"So are you to a, uh ...ahem, couple?" Willow asked, dreading the answer.
"Yeah, it just kinda ... happened" Xander said. He took his arm off of Diana's shoulder and pulled out a chair for her to sit in.
"Oh" was all that Willow could reply. She immediately stood up and headed toward the door.
"Willow. Where are you going?" Xander called after her, but she continued walking, blinded by her own tears. She didn't even she Oz until she bumped into him.
"Hey, your in a hurry" Oz observed "Are you ok?" he asked, noticing her tears.
"I'm fine" Willow mumbled, pushing past him.
"Are you sure?" he asked following her "Do you need me to hit anybody? I don't normally do that, but I think I'll make an exception in your case" She stopped and looked down. He handed her a tissue and she started to wipe her eyes.
"Well, yes, but ... no" She said "I just sorta ... It's nothing"
"If it's nothing, would you mind going back and dancing with me then?" Oz asked.
"Sure" She let him lead her back into the crowd and onto the dance floor.
"Um, can I cut in?" Xander asked.
"Oh, sure" Oz said.
"I'll only be a minute" Willow promised him. Oz nodded and walked of the floor.
"Why did you leave like that?" Xander asked, once they where alone.
"I just needed some .. air" Willow lied. She wouldn't make eye contact with him and Willow could feel how uncomfortable she was making him feel, by her aloof nature.
"It had to of been something" Xander said "Is it Diana?"
Willow didn't answer him.
"Willow, what's the matter?" Xander led her off the dance floor and over to the entrance of where the bathrooms were.
"You wanna know what's the matter?" Willow fummed "I'll tell you what's the matter. I've spent the last few years of my life loving you. Yes, loving you, and you don't even notice. There was Buffy, then Ampata, and now Diana. You never even realized how I felt. That's what's the matter!"
Willow stormed away from him and over to Oz. "You, a wanna get some ice cream?" she asked.
"Sure" Oz replied and the two of them headed off.
"She what?" was all Xander could say, as he watched his best friend, and secret admirer of so long, walk away.
"You ok?"Buffy asked, as he returned to the table.
"Yeah, uh Diana, why don't we go" Xander said softly.
"But we just got here" She said.
"We need to talk" Xander walked out of the Bronze, and out into the slightly chilled California air.
"What's wrong?" Diana asked, worriedly.
"It's Willow, she a, told me that she loves me"
"Do you love her?" Diana asked, she turned to face him and look into his eyes.
"Only as a sister. She's my best friend. I just don't want to lose her. I've know her longer than anybody. I love you, but I don't know what I'd do without my best friend" Diana reached up and hugged him.
"I think you need to tell her this" Diana said "I don't want to get in the way of the two of you"
"You won't. Talk to her tomorrow" Xander took her hand and the two walked along the ill lit streets back to their homes.

"So he never knew, about how you felt?" Oz asked. They had gone to get their ice cream and were now walking back to Willow's house.
"You over heard us, huh?" Willow asked, as she stared at her ice cream cone.
"Well I tried not to but, you where a little loud"
"I was?" Willow's face brightened.
"Well I think I was the only one who heard" he said quickly.
"Oh. And yeah, he didn't know" she said. She stopped and took a seat on the bench. Oz immediately sat down beside her "It was just a stupid crush. I should move on. I probably destroyed our friendship"
"I don't think so. I don't know anybody who would want to stop being friends with you"
"Really?" Willow blushed.
"Sure, and if you want I could help you get your mind off of him"
"And how would you do that?" she asked.
"Like this" Oz reached over and pulled her into a kiss. Willow dropped her ice cream and returned the kiss.
"Did that help get your mind off of Xander?" Oz asked, when they broke up their kiss.
"Xander who?" Willow asked, as she pulled him into another kiss.
