Buffy brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes, her gaze never moving away from the hopeful expression on her sister's face.
"Repeat what you just asked me."
Dawn smiled innocently, her hand already reaching out toward Buffy.
"Can I borrow your credit card?"
The Slayer smiled coyly, and the younger girl drew her hand instantly.
"Just because I feel alive again doesn't mean that I've lost my mind."
With a pout, Dawn opened her eyes a little wider.
"I thought you were supposed to have a new and improved attitude."
Buffy's smile merely widened.
"It's not that new."
