Dawn sat in her room, annoyed and neglected. Buffy was out patrolling and her mom was working lateā¦again. Buffy warned her to stay away from the windows because of Angel danger. Dawn was sitting at her window, though, eager to disobey Buffy any chance she got.
Her window was open, but the screen covered it. She had her radio playing loudly and she was playing with Buffy's makeup. She heard an eerie laugh from outside her window and gasped, looking out to see her sister's former boyfriend. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"What are you doing here, creep?" she asked, annoyed.
"I just want a hug, Dawnie," Angelus said innocently. Dawn smirked.
"Buffy warned me this might happen." She got up abruptly, dropping the makeup and grabbing a long stick next to her nightstand.
Dawn opened the screen slowly and cautiously.
"What're you-?" Angel started to ask, before Dawn violently poked him in the ribs. He cried out and Dawn giggled. He gave her a murderous glare and started to threaten her, but she just poked him again. This made him stumble a little on the branch he stood on, which brought on a whole round of laughter to Dawn.
Dawn continued this process until Angel said, "When I get my hands on you I'll-"
"Do what?" Dawn interrupted. "Kill me?" She "pffted" and said, "I doubt it." Then she jabbed him in the ribs again with the stick and he fell from the tree, hitting several branches on the way down. She laughed so hard that she fell from her seat.
