In the Magic Box shop, it was closed, but Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay had decided to stay to practice magic, to be more precise, offensive spells against warlocks such as Ethan Rayne or Rack or renegade witches like Amy Madison, despite that Tara was more of a pacifist and caring and did not want to resort to violence, she knew she had to fight back to protect herself and the people close to her and Willow had managed to get her addiction to magic under control, mostly.

"We shouldn't use anything too strong." Tara said and Willow nodded. They wanted to learn offensive spells to fight back but it was best not to go too far in case they would hurt each other.

Both women spun their hands as they glowed before beams of light shot out and crossed as the impact knocked both Willow and Tara back as they staggered before recovering. Willow enchanted flames in her hands, not too dangerous but enough burning to at least scare Tara, while throwing the fireballs but Tara waved her hand as a gust of wind extinguished the flames and Tara then turned a small box into a stick which she threw at Willow to poke her back mainly, while Willow formed a barrier as the stick shattered into splinters.

Willow threw bolts of magic at Tara but didn't put too much power into them to hurt her, while Tara formed a barrier as the impact shattered the barrier and Tara formed a magical ball from the remnants of magic from the impact and threw it back at Willow who waved her hand as the ball vanished. Tara threw another magical ball, while Willow formed a magical shield in her hand and then formed restraints of magic around Tara who did a gesture as the restraints dissipated with a protective aura surrounding Tara. Willow tried more offensive spells at Tara but all of it vanished upon touching the glowing aura enveloping Tara.

"Well, that defensive spell is good." Willow complimented before Tara noticed the smirk forming on Willow's face that she did not like at all. "But let's see if it puts up with this."

Willow spun her hands as a red glowing ball formed and Willow threw it as Tara tried to strengthen her defenses but the protective energy around Tara shattered like glass upon impact as the following shockwave of magic knocked both girls on the ground.

When Willow and Tara recovered as the smoke and dust cleared, suddenly, they felt profound itching sensation all over their bodies as their eyes widened at each other.

"Willow…" Tara trailed off.

"Tara…" Willow whispered.

Both girls got up with their eyes wide as they noticed that their clothes began glowing ember red. The shoes melted into nothing, while flames were racing over the leggings on Willow's pants up her ankles to her thighs and the same with Tara's stockings, while the same thing was happening at the wrists and the neckline of their bodies, the sleeves and collars of their tops going up in flames racing up their wrists to their arms and from their shoulders down their necklines, exposing their bare skin as the glow was burning off their clothing into ashes that dissipated in the air, even Tara's skirt as the flames reached up her waist and at the same time their underwear began suffering the same fate as they felt the heat on their shoulders, back and hips as the straps on their bras were split with the side wings, same with their panties as they fell off and also turned into ashes dissipating in the air and both girls, blushing in embarrassment due to their nipples getting erect from the tingling heat, while their clothes went up in flames and burned off their skin until there was no trace of clothing on their bodies at all.

"Oh…" Tara cried in dismay and mild embarrassment, while blushing.

"Oh, Hecate…" Willow said nervously, her face just as red, while goosebumps began forming on their skin from the heat that had burned all their clothes, leaving both girls naked as the day they were born. Usually, they would have covered their intimate parts like breasts and genitals but they had seen the other in the nude already, so they couldn't really complain, considering that it was just them in the Magic Box, for now at least. "Well, that spell got a bit out of hand."

"Willow, not that I'm complaining, but what spell was that?" Tara asked.

"Well… it was supposed to be an offensive spell that would destroy all protection on my enemy." Willow said.

"And does 'all protection' include clothing? You know, to protect our bodies from nudity?" Tara pointed out and Willow groaned, realizing she had not thought it through.

"How was I supposed to know this would happen?" Willow snapped, while Tara sighed.

"Let's just get dressed before someone walks in and finds out that we're naked." Tara said and Willow nodded.

They went into the storage room and opened a drawer, finding some shirts but the second they put their arms through the sleeves, they felt the itching sensation on their skin again as the clothes burned into ashes.

"Well, that's not good at all." Tara said, when they heard the bell ring and the door open.

"Willow? Tara?"

Willow and Tara looked at each other with panicked looks.

"Guys?" Buffy asked as she entered with Dawn, Xander, Anya and Spike, when Willow and Tara emerged from the door, with their heads peeking out.

"Oh, hey." Willow said awkwardly.

"Hey." Tara said.

"Oh!" Buffy gapped, while she and Xander turned away and Spike and Anya looked amused and Dawn blushed and chuckled, glad that her surrogate mothers were having a good time but didn't think that they would be making love right now.

"Well, not that we're not happy for you two but here? Really?" Xander asked awkwardly.

"Would you mind if we did a threesome or—OW!" Spike yelped, when Buffy smacked him on the back of his head and Xander and Dawn pounded him in the shoulder, glaring at him.

"Could you two get dressed, please?" Dawn asked, uncomfortable at the scene.

"You know what, I think we should actually take it elsewhere. Bye!" Tara said quickly before muttering something and next thing the Scoobies knew, Willow and Tara teleported away.

The Scoobies stared at the scene, perplexed and processing what had just happened.

"Did that just happen?" Xander asked.

Anya went to take a look at one of the magic books the girls had opened before she burst out laughing. "Oh, my God. OK, now I get what happened."

"What?" Buffy asked.

"I'll tell you tomorrow when the spell wears off." Anya said with an amused grin.

Willow and Tara had ended up in their bedroom in Buffy's house as they went to the drawers and tried to put on their shirts but the instant the fabric touched their skin upon the arms going through the sleeves, the clothes dissolved into ashes too as both girls looked utterly dismayed and embarrassed.

"That was my favorite one." Tara said.

"Sorry." Willow said, knowing this was her fault. "But the spell shouldn't last more than 12 hours."

"So until morning." Tara realized and Willow nodded before noticing the smile on her face.

"What?" Willow asked.

"You know, being naked actually has certain benefits." Tara said with a seductive smirk and it immediately hit Willow.

Next thing they knew, they held each other by their cheeks and kissed, while running their hands down their necks to their shoulders and breasts as they began examining every nook and cranny of their naked bodies as they laid down. Tara ran her hands through Willow's hair and pulled her for another kiss, while her other hand squeezed Willow's buttcheeks. Willow's fingers ran across Tara's thighs as she giggled until the fingers reached inside Tara's womb as Tara cried out in pleasure, her hips jerking in response to the contact as her muscles contracted strongly around Willow's fingers, trying to pull them deep within as Tara's head fell back against the wall. Willow planted passionate kisses on Tara's chest, tasting her breasts before Tara rolled them over to switch positions, while Tara began massaging Willow's breasts and placed her thigh in between Willow's leg, both girls growling in pleasure before their lips touched for more sensual kisses until Tara ran the kisses to Willow's nipple as Willow whipped her head, crying out in ecstasy.

A soft moan escaped them both, heavy breathing filling the room as Tara's fingers continued to work their magic in between Willow's legs, which were no longer doing a good job at supporting her, while they kissed again, their lips and tongues fighting for dominance. Tara swung her leg over her lover, straddling the red-haired girl nakedly and placing a kiss on her soft lips, sorely wishing that they were kissing somewhere else right about now. Willow shivered at Tara's touch, feeling the warmth of her hand as it slid down her side and squeezed her butt, pulling her in closer. Her right hand then slid in between them and down along her lower abdomen, in between her open legs. Tara's breath caught, feeling the woman manipulate her below. Willow smiled up at her defiantly, knowing her dominance was waning. Unable to resist any longer, Tara's mouth closed the short distance between them and found Willow's full, demanding lips, kissing her back hungrily as they lost themselves in each other's primal desires, naked, covered in nothing but sweat and parts of the sheets so that their spell would not burn it, while the moonlight glowed in through the window.

"I love you, Willow." Tara said, running her hand down Willow's cheek.

"I love you, Tara." Willow said, pulling Tara in for another kiss.
