Willow sighed as she stretched, her head resting comfortably in Xander's lap.

"Sophomore year's the second best."

They both glanced up at Jesse, twin expressions of amusement on their faces. He shrugged before grinning and sitting behind them on the steps of Willow's home.

"Think about it. We aren't the newbies like in Freshman year, and we won't have all the work of Junior year."

He absently reached out and grabbed a strand of Willow's hair, slowly twirling it between his fingers. She giggled as Xander playfully swatted his arm.

"Just wait and see, this year's gonna be the best."
