"Dawn, eat your vegetables." Buffy watched her little sister poking at the potatoes and lima beans on her plate. "You need them."

"But they taste yucky!"

"That they might," Giles, sitting at the table's other end interjected, "but your sister is right. You do need them, especially the potatoes. You can not see it in their current form, but before they were cooked, they had eyes. Ingesting those will aid you in seeing the truths in the world around us."

"You mean like ghosts, Demons, and stuff?"

Giles smiled.

"Euuw," Dawn protested, "but cool, too." Dawn grinned and ate her veggies.

Okay, Buffy thought, rousing from her dream about Giles convincing Dawn to eat her potatoes, that was weird. She shrugged and flopped over in bed. The image of a shirtless Giles met her next. They were in the training room he had built for her in the back of The Magic Box. He circled around her, gesturing her to attack. She came at him, but instead of attacking, she let him catch her hands and pull her close against him. She smiled at they kissed in her dream and settled down to sleep more. Now that's more like it.

The End
