Author's Note: With Holiday approaching, my schedule's changing, so starting tomorrow I'll be probably posting at Midnight GMT instead of US Eastern. Hope you're continuing to enjoy.
"That was a great meal Faith, glad to know you're taking good care of my little sister." Buffy said as she helped Dawn clear the table.
"She takes great care of me." Dawn said, blowing a kiss to Faith.
"I really try." Faith replied "So, you talk any more about the big spell?" she asked Willow.
"A little, we think we're going to do it soon, September would be a good time for her to be born." Willow said.
"There a mystical reason for that?" Faith asked.
"Not really no, just more convenient, for one thing her birthday won't be around the holidays."
"That's a good idea." Dawn said as she sat back down at the table. "I couldn't imagine having my birthday so close to Christmas, and since Hanukkah moves so much, it's probably for the best."
"We really think so." Buffy agreed, looking over at Faith. "So what's so special about this gift?" she asked. "We know everything else, but she was super secretive about this one."
"Really?" Dawn asked curiously looking at her girlfriend.
"Just a minute." Faith said as she went to retrieve the day's gift. "It's because this one is bigger than Whistler." she said as she handed the box to Dawn.
"Sydney Swans?" Dawn asked as she looked at the shirt in the box.
"Well, you took the Red Hot Chili Peppers last year." Faith pointed out. "I did some research and found this Australian Rules Football team, and that gave me the idea. A week in Sydney in June."
"Wow, that is big." Buffy said impressed.
"The mayor left me some money." Faith shrugged. "Figured I might as well use it for good. I should mention, June is their winter."
"Yeah, but it's Australia, it's still not that bad from what I've heard." Dawn replied. "I love it, we'll have a great time."
