Summers House

When Buffy woke up she found she barley moved at all. And the important thing was Faith was still content and asleep in her arms. There had been no more nightmares from what she could tell. She thought about getting up but, there was no need to since it was Saturday and she didn't want Faith to wake up and feel alone, so she just lay there watching her sister sleep. At one point Dawn came in but, she pretended to be asleep. With an 'awww' from the youngest of the Summers' they were once again left alone. At around 10:00a.m., she felt Faith start to move. She looked down to find the other girl looking a little disoriented around the room. Then she looked up at Buffy and became a little more relaxed. Buffy was the first to speak.

"Good morning."

"Morning." Faith stated groggily. "You sound awfully chipper this morning." Faith said in her usual 'Faith way'.

"Yes, well, I'm going to take a shower in my bathroom and you're going to take one in yours and then we're going to have a little chat."

"That sounds like so much fun. I can't wait." Faith said with her walls, once again up.

"I'm serious." Buffy said failing her attempt to try to be stern.

"Oh, you got me shaking with fear, B. I'll do everything and anything you say." Faith said once again sarcastically. It seemed this morning that was the only way she could talk.

"You better F." Buffy made her comeback. Then got up and pulled Faith up with her. Pulling a very reluctant Faith with her, she made herself to Faith's bathroom. Shoving Faith in the bathroom and turning the shower on, she turned to Faith and made her real threat.

"Faith, if you don't get your…..butt, butt in that shower and come back and talk to me you're gonna regret it. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll tell Xander about that dream you had with him in it." She ended with a smirk.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh, wanna try me?" Buffy dared.

"B, I told you that dream meant nothing. It was just a really gross nightmare." Faith pleaded.

"I don't think Xander will see it that way."

"Fine. Whateva'. I need a shower anyway." Faith said reluctantly.

"I love blackmail." Buffy smiled.

"You're not gonna love it when it come back to bite you in the…" She didn't get to finish because Buffy interrupted.

"Butt. Butt. What did I tell you about cursing? Gosh. Do you listen at all?"

"No, not really. Alright, out B. If you want me to take my shower out before I strip down in front of you. You know I will." She ended with a knowing smirk.

"Okay. Sheesh. I'm leaving. I'm leaving. Just don't take one of your record long showers or perform any of your concerts." She stated while leaving. Once out the door, Faith gave her a face and slammed the door in her face.

"What? Does nobody have manners anymore?" Buffy asked sarcastically.
