Dawn was happy Buffy finally let her go to the Bronze with just her friends. She was dancing with her friends and she decided to go up to the bar and ask for a drink she had her fake ID with her so she thought she would give it a try.

"Beer please"

"ID" Dawn showed him the ID and he gave it back to her and poured her some beer. Dawn drank it like it was in a shot glass it was gone in 30 seconds, so she got more.

Spike walked through the Bronze door looking for Buffy he hadn't seen her at the house. Spike saw Dawn up by the bar and went over there.

"Hey Spike!" Dawn said as she burped.

"Dawn…come with me" his voice was angry. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the Bronze. Luckily Dawn was sober enough to understand what he was saying. "Spike Really I'm fine you can leave".

"Dawn your Drunk anyone can see that" his eyes were getting narrower

"Yeah... I am please don't tell Buffy"

"I'm going to tell your sister"

"Fine tell her she doesn't care about me anyway"

"DAMMIT DAWN! Listen your sister loves you and you need to know that if you do more things like this your going to be taking away. If social services find out that Buffy and I can't make you stop they'll take you away! You won't live with Buffy and Me anymore. You'll leave."

"I Know…. I'm sorry I am. I try not to do these things but I can't help it."

" I want you to stop stealing too"

"Okay."

The rest of the ride home in the car was silent Dawn was afraid to talk to him when he was like this, but she knew she deserved it. She hoped Spike wouldn't tell Buffy because Buffy would just be worse then Spike. How had she got herself into this mess? Ever since Mom died, No one is here for me…. Should I go home and live with Buffy and Spike, or do I want to leave this mess with Vampires and Demons?

I think I'll stay.
