The Perk, Sunday Afternoon

Dawn bought herself a mocha, then sat down at one of the tables to wait for Buffy. Even with the tape barrier (and tape barrier violation this morning), she was going to be very sorry to see her sister leave.

"You know," Buffy said thoughtfully. "That doesn't surprise me at all." She shrugged. "I think when I heard 'invasions', I was thinking more like demons and vampires. Not flying food."

"I haven't seen any vampires, I think I'm friends with the only demon in town, and there was a mummy invasion, but I had nothing to do with them coming to town either," Dawn made a face. "Huh. I'm slipping. Oh! The Gentlemen came to town, but they're gone now. We had to hide in the dorms while the adults took care of them."

"Um, hi, heart-stealing demons came to town and no one told me?"

"We forgot?"

Buffy glared a little. "And, by the way, if the adults say they can handle it, they can handle it. Because heart-stealing demons." One day, Buffy was going to have to ditch the 'listen to what I say even if I did worse at your age' thing.

"They totally handled it!" Dawn flailed a little. "I just told the principal what I thought it was, because of the last time. My heart and I were inside at all times."

Also, notably, Dawn still wasn't telling her sister about opening a portal to get Dean back thing. "So...what do you think of Sam?"

"I think he should stay on his side of the tape," she said, though she only said it because she couldn't think of anything she found wrong with him. That was a little frustrating. Well, there was the whole part where he dumped Buffy, but that wasn't her and really, it just wan't the time.

Dawn blushed.

"You tell me if he gives you any problems, and I swear I will come back and beat him," she said. "But I think he's good enough to know better." That might have been said a little grudgingly.

"I will tell you if he gives me any problems," Dawn rolled her eyes, "but I doubt he will. He's really a good person and completely non-vampy. Dean's more the 'couldn't care less about the rules' guy. Which was fine, until I kissed Sam by accident, and then there was lots of confusion, but we're all good now."

"What about you?" She asked, playing with her mocha. "You dating anyone?"

"Not at the moment and men suck no matter how old they can get but that's a story for another time," she said quickly. "Guys can't handle me anyway." She'd go with that excuse.

Dawn blinked at Buffy, never having heard her sound quite that way before. "Okaaaaay. So're you giving up on guys, or on dating as a concept?"

"Meh. Neither. I've just been busy, and I'm waiting for more vampires to get souled in the meantime," she shrugged. "Or if Josh Hartnett happened by, I wouldn't turn that down."

"More souled vampires, huh?" Dawn reached for Buffy's hand. "That's not a bad thing to wait for, I guess. Or you could just become Josh Hartnett's stalker."

"Yeah, but he probably has one already," Buffy mused.

"You, but you'd be like his executive stalker," Dawn suggested. "Ooh, oooor, you could be a bodyguard to the stars!"

"Premieres could be fun," she said, playing along. "You don't have to pay to go to those, right?"

"Nope. Plus, I think there's huge dressing up potential. And I gotta assume there's people in Hollywood that are demony and need to be slayed."

"Probably. The screenwriters have to get their ideas from somewhere," she agreed. "Well, now I have to work on my resume."

"You in LA?" Dawn asked, drawing designs in some spilled mocha as a thought occurred to her. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Oh, I'd be fine," she said. She certainly was not going to hand over her cell phone which would be a dead giveaway on how many times she'd already called Angel and hung up without saying anything this weekend. "Besides, it's just a thought. I'm not actually going to do it."

"So what are you going to do?" Dawn asked. "I mean, now that you actually have choices..."

"I like Europe," she said, thinking about it. "I don't know. I've gotten kind of used to the way things are, with the working and the splitting up. I haven't really thought much outside that. I could always move here."

"Yes, you could," Dawn said carefully, because while half of her really liked that idea, the other half really didn't, "but only if you want to. I want you to do what makes you happy."

Buffy smiled at her. "I doubt I will," she said. "I'm not sure I could handle all the 'Hey, Buffy, how was class yesterday?' and the 'Eat something, you look little compared to youself'. Give me another day and I was gonna start messing with people."
