"They smell good, don't they?"
"What?"
"Clean sheets. Like summer." Buffy clarified.
"I wouldn't know." Faith answered from the other side of the bed
The blond felt a small pang of guilt. It was, after all, her who put Faith in the coma that took her away from summer. "Right, I forgot."
Faith grinned just a little. "I noticed." Faith often wished that these dreams could be real life, it was nice to know that Buffy sometimes forgot that they weren't.
"I wish I could stay, but."
The grin left Faith's lips. "No, you have to go." She said, trying to hide her disappointment.
Buffy noticed anyway. "It's just with-" she began, but Faith cut her off.
"Little sis coming. I know." Faith took a deep breath and continued. "So much to do before she gets here."
"Now I really have to-"
"So go." Faith said quickly, trying not to feel hurt.
With that Buffy left the dream and returned to her body. As she looked back on the dream she let out a loud sigh. She liked the dreams; they let her be with Faith without any of the grudges she carried through life everyday or the grudges she was sure Faith held for her. She wished she could just forgive her. and be forgiven. She wished they could be the way they used to be. She wished.
Buffy's thoughts were cut off when the phone rang. She quickly reached over and grabbed it, hoping it was some she could talk to. "Hello?"
"Hi, Buffy!" said the woman on the other side.
"Hey Mom." She responded, recognizing the voice. "What's up with the early call?"
"It's nine o-clock, honey. I figured you'd be up. I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No, Mom, you didn't wake me. I was awake." She said honestly. "But still, why the call?"
"Your sister wanted to talk to you."
Sister? Buffy thought before getting hit with a deluge of memories.
"She's been bugging me to call you for an hour now, but I said we should wait, but you know how she can be when she wants something."
"Yeah, I know." She replied, wondering about her confusion only a few seconds before. "Put her on."

"Don't let me keep..." Faith continued not realizing the other girl had left. She stopped when she felt a sudden yet all too familiar pain in her gut. Several drops of blood fell on the clean white sheets she had been smoothing out. "Damn, just when we had it so nice." She said with both tired sarcasm and renewed sadness. She turned to the girl next to her witch was no longer her sister slayer. "Are you ever gonna take this thing out?" she asked the nightmare next to her, referring to the blade it ad driven into her.
The thing held the look on it's face that Buffy had given Faith just before the she had stabbed her. It was a look of pure, cold hatred. That look had hurt Faith more than the knife ever could have. Ever though the blond's face had only held the look for a moment, it was enough. In that one moment, Buffy had wanted her dead. Now the monster next to her carried that look at all times.

So? What do people think? I am going to have fun with this story whether you review or not, But how do you guys like the idea of having Dawn show up now?
