DAWN
Dawn lounged on her bed, her homework spread out before her, working away on her lap top. She had a paper due for lit tomorrow and she still hadn't gotten down written Italian as fluently as spoken. Stupid Rome with its stupid Italian-Speaking people.
Stupid Buffy was out on a date. She glanced out the window, dusk falling beautifully over the city. She wondered if maybe she could get Carlos to help her in the morning with her paper. He was one hot, tall drink of water. And with Buffy and the Immortal making nearly every night (it seemed) into date night Dawn was very aware of her lack of love life. She'd have to work on Buffy letting her socialize without supervision on a more guy/girl one on one basis. Xander was at least on a different continent, as was Giles, so that just left Buffy to over protect her.
Dawn sighed, reshuffling her papers. She really was tapped out on Italian for the moment. She saved her paper on her lap top, closing the file for the n-th time. Hiding behind the document was the folder she'd simply titled 'WXT'. She looked at it hard for a moment, slowly closing down any other programs she was no longer using. Well, she did deserve a break. And no one was home. And Andrew had collapsed the entire oeuvre especially for her as a present as soon as he'd found out she, too, was a fellow Wormhole X-Treme! Fanatic.
Of course, she made him make an oath never to reveal this to another living soul on his Boba Fett figurine, and then threatened him as only the Slayer's little sister could. She sat up, dumping her schoolwork to the floor, scuttling into the kitchen and back with a box of cookies.
Excellent… Now, which to choose from? Maybe one of the ones when Dr. Levant dies.

Author's note: I'm so sorry (well, no, not really) - I had to dig a bit deep to discover something Dawn might truly geek about that she would treasure and protect. This is for every one of us who has had that moment at some point.
