They had all said they would miss her, she would miss them. Shaking herself slightly she tried to concentrate on the plane that seemed to be taking off. She gripped the armrest a little more tightly as the plane shook while taking off into the blueness that was the sky. As they reached their desired altitude Karen realized someone was sitting next to her, barely paying attention to her and her obvious fright. She wanted them to pay attention to her, damnit. She was all alone! She was obviously a little nervous about her first flight and they couldn't take a minute out of their time to...

The guy next to her looked slightly familiar. He had red spikes. . beautiful red spikes. . she blinked. He looked exactly like Oz, err no. Seth Green. She almost fell out of her seat. Or at least would have if she wasn't buckled in and only had about three inches between her and the seat in front.

Her mind skittered around to all its freaky recesses trying desperately to come up with something that didn't sound totally stupid to say. She had to keep convincing herself it wasn't Oz, Oz was fictional. Seth Green played Oz. She grasped on a final thought as she opened her mouth.

"OzMIA is going to be SO jealous! This is like something that would happen in a fic... maybe I'll write it."

Turning slightly in her chair she put on her best 'time to meet someone new' smile.' "Hi. Canap�? I mean, um, peanut?" She offered the bag of nuts the flight attendant had given her upon request. She was going to save them to share with Sam but...

"Hi. Um, sure." He took one and Karen almost fainted. SETH GREEN WAS EATING HER PEANUTS!

"So, has anyone ever told you... you look like Seth Green?" She guy looked at her funny.

"No. Who's that?"

"Oh, um. He's in Austin Powers... Enemy of the state... Can't Hardly Wait." The guy shrugged.

"Never heard of um."

"Oh. So. I'm Karen." Karen turned her head towards the window, this guy was being a jerk. She missed Sam and her computer.

"I'm Daniel." Karen's head flipped around so fast she would have neck pains the next morning.

"Daniel??" She asked in a shocked voice.

"Yeah. Daniel Osborne." Karen would have choked but she wasn't eating anything, she thanked herself for having a rather large breakfast.

"Oz?"

The guy blinked, her mind blanked.

"Are you going to Sunnydale?" He blinked again.

Karen almost feinted but wouldn't let herself, afraid she would wake up.

"Yeah. Sunnydale... how did you know?" He asked a little uncertainly, shifting in his seat.

Karen's mind snapped back into focus. She was having a conversation with Oz. She loved Oz. "I know everything about you." She said simply and the guy, Oz, shifted again. She noticed the charms wrapped around his hands, the scent of incense that surrounded him, the way his eyes flickered in the light of the plane. Those eyes... she could fall into those eyes... Shaking herself she made her mouth move and make noise like sounds. "I know you and Willow broke up because she went back to Tara, I know that you still love her and your going back to her and that your a *cough* werewolf *cough* and I know that your best friend is Devon and he's a sexy bitch. Not to be confused with a SEXY BITCH but... " she stopped her ramble.

Oz was breathing heavily. His hand shifted slightly, dark hairs sprouted and he ducked his head down taking deep breaths and trying to gain back control. After what seemed like a small eternity he did. He sat up, a million thoughts fluttered around in his head as he stared at the girl. She was beautiful, and the way he looked at him... he hadn't seen that since before he'd left Willow. True devotion and love.

"How?"

She just shrugged and leaned forward. Kissing him firmly on the mouth, Oz was a little taken aback but didn't move away. The kiss was passionate and great and the girl moved her hands up and into his hair. Worshiping it with her hands. When they finally broke apart Oz had forgotten who Willow was. There was only Karen.

"So. Where are you going?"

"Bakersfield to stay with a friend." She said blushing deeply. Oz almost swooned.

"Oh. I'm going to Bakersfield too... staying in a motel near your friend's house. You should visit." She nodded.

This was the start of a beautiful friendship... maybe more.

Just then Karen kicked her bag, a book with he and Willow on the front fell out of it.
