Buffy sat on her bed, her tearstained cheeks still damp as she hugged her pillow tightly to her chest. The sobbing had stopped, but the hurt feelings still lingered. Yet her sister still came to her mind, it wasnt screaming at Dawn. No, it smiled, worriedly, but still smiled.

She made a mental note as she looked out the window of her room into the early morning sun shining onto her face. Dawn, her baby sister, was growing up. As much as she wanted to belive that Dawn still believed in the tooth fairy, loved cherry lollipops, and thought all things slimey and had more then 4 legs were discusting, she knew Dawn was growing up. After all, thats what their fight had been about, Dawn didn't need to be babysat, or kept inside safe her entire life, because if she was, then how would she learn her own mistakes. She knew this, that her sister needed to get into trouble, and learn from her mistakes, she finally realised. Thats why Dawn stole things, left after curfew, and tested bounderies, she needed to learn from these experiances.
So Dawn would have her privacy, her room, and be able to learn these things for herself. Buffy would talk to her when she cooled down and came back to the house, give her more responsibility and room to do what she wanted.
But, Buffy thought, she's still grounded.
