They woke late the next morning. With Willow's help Buffy found
everything she needed and after they had both bathed they found new
clothes laid out for them. 
Willow got another green dress of a fine hand woven cloth, and this time
trimmed in gold. 
For Buffy there was a leather tunic, soft leather pants, and a pair of
knee high boots, all black. 
As before everything fit perfectly as if it had been custom made just
for them. 
Willow led Buffy out into the garden/courtyard anxious to show her
everything. 

"Wow, Wills this place is truly amazing" Buffy said awed by her
surroundings 

"Wait till you see the fountain." Willow said tugging at Buffy's sleeve
like an anxious child. 

"Okay okay, Wills" Buffy said smiling at her friend's new found
exuberance. "don't blow a vein I'm coming." 

They came to the fountain and found Brigit and Morrigan sitting at one
of the tables. 

"Good morrow little one." Brigit said smiling at Willow's obvious joy "I
see your beloved is well and recuperating." 

Willow giggled like a shy child at Brigit's comment. Buffy looked at the
serenely beautiful blonde then to the wildly exotic red head then
finally at Willow. 

"Who's your friends Wills?" Buffy asked feeling a slight twinge of
jealousy at their familiarity. 

"Buffy this is Brigit." Willow said indicating the regal looking blonde. 

"Pleased to meet you." Buffy said holding out her hand "Wills tells me
that we owe you our lives as well as other things." 

Buffy gasped when Brigit took her hand. It was as if a combination of
high voltage electricity and the gentle warmth of spring spread through
her body from that hand. 

"I am glad to see you are healing Elizabeth." Brigit said softly "but it
was your dear little Willow that saved you, not I or any other that
reside here." 

"Ah..yes..well I guess..ah" Buffy began awkwardly, overwhelmed by her
contact with Brigit. "Hey wait a minute. How did you know about
Elizabeth?" 

Buffy gave Willow a whithering look but Willow shrugged and shook her
head denying any involvement. 

"Do not blame Willow." Brigit said her soft voice overcoming Buffy's
anger "We know much about both of you Elizabeth or would you prefer
Chosen One or perhaps Slayer." 

"How about just Buffy?" she replied "Everyone does."

The woman released her hand and the one with the wild red hair and
bright green eyes stepped up. 

"I am called Morrigan." she said in her normal husky voice 

She shook Buffy's hand vigorously. Buffy was impressed by the strength
of the woman's grip. 

"You say Buffy then Buffy it shall be." Morrigan continued "Leather
suits you Slayer." 

"Yeah..ah..thanks." Buffy said a little stunned by the woman's presence
she was a force of nature. 

It was like some deadly jungle predator suddenly stood up and shook your
hand. 

"Come, sit" Brigit said "We have brought this to share with you. There
is fresh fruits, cheese, bread, fresh milk, and if you prefer meade of
course." 

The two girls sat down at the empty places at the table 

"And for the Slayer, I have brought meat." Morrigan announced and put a
huge slab of venison on Buffy's plate 

Not wanting to be rude Buffy cut off a small piece and gingerly put it
in her mouth, It was marvelous, cooked just right. 

"This is great." Buffy said between bites as she wolfed down every
morsel that was put on her plate. 

She blushed when she noticed Willow and Brigit watching her pig out, and
smiling contentedly, but embarrassment didn't slow her down.
Finally she was full, Buffy stretched like a pampered cat. She already
felt relaxed enough around these two women that she leaned over and
kissed Willow lightly and caressed her cheek. 
Buffy rested her head on Willow's shoulder and half listened to Willow
and Brigit talk about healing herbs and medicines, spells and all that
witchy stuff Willow loved so much, 
Pretty soon Buffy was feeling a little restless, she stretched again and
got up to look around but before could head for the trees she felt a
hand on her shoulder.
She turned an came face to face with Morrigan. 

<>Damn she's good!<> Buffy thought <>I didn't even know she was there.<> 

"I see you have tired of their talk of magiks and the like. Morrigan
said taking a loving glance at Brigit. 

"I guess so." Buffy shrugged "The magic and witchy stuff is Willow's
thing. I'm more like action girl, you know fight now magic later." 

"As it is with me." Morrigan said smiling at the young Slayer "If you
are up to it come with me.We too have things in common." 

"Go slowly with the girl, Morrigan." Brigit called out as she saw the
two of them leaving "She does not have your skills and she is still not
at full strength," 

"As you wish." Morrigan answered and disappeared with Buffy 

Brigit saw the worry in Willow's eyes as she watched the other two
leave. 

"Worry not little one." Brigit reassured her "There is much she can
learn from my Morrigan, as there is much I can teach you." 

For the next several days when they weren't together exploring their
newly formed relationship, Willow was with Brigit expanding her powers,
and Buffy was with Morrigan learning new fighting techniques.

"I could stay here forever" Buffy sighed one night as they lay in bed
simply enjoying being together "I feel better than I've felt since
becoming the Slayer." 

"I know what you mean." Willow said snuggling up closer to her lover
"Brigit is great I've never known anyone like her' 

"Yeah I feel the same way about Morrigan." Buffy said thoughtfully
"She's kinda hard to get to know at first but once you get past that
hardcore warrior stuff she's alright and she's the best sparing partner
I've ever had." 

"Watch it Slayer!" Willow giggled and began poking Buffy in the ribs,
"Only one soulmate to a customer." 

"Oh yeah" Buffy laughed and made a grab for her teasing lover "You'd
better watch yourself my little witch." 

"Or what?"the red head taunted 

The two wrestled playfully until Buffy pinned Willow to the mattress,
straddling her abdomen on her knees. She gazed into Willow's shining
green eyes nearly loosing herself in their depths. 

"Or this," Buffy said her voice thick with passion. 

She lowered herself until her lips were on Willow's. Starting with a
soft brushing of their lips they were soon lost in a fierce all
consuming kiss. Mouths open tongues probing, their hands seemed to move
of their own volition lightly brushing searching for every sensitive
area. 

"God I love you." Buffy moaned into Willow's mouth 

Willow could only moan, her body responding to Buffy's every touch.
Buffy slowly moved down Willow's trembling body leaving molten hot
trails with her tongue.
It was as if their bodies melded together becoming one responding to
the call more primal than even Slaying, the need to love and be loved.
Their entire beings touched flesh to flesh, mind to mind, soul to soul.
