Chapter 5:It's Dawn not Dawny
Just before Harmony was about to drink her younger sister there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it," shouted Jasmine.
"It's umm me Dawn." said Dawn through the door.
"Go away Dawn," said Jasmine.
"Are you OK," said Dawn.
"She's fine Dawny," replied Harmony. "Leave us alone"
Dawn heard Harmony's voice through the door and a chill ran through her. She had to get Jasmine away from Harmony before something bad happened. She knew she didn't have much time. She just hoped Lawrence got to her sister soon.
At the summer's house the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," said Xander.
"Hurry back," said Anya looking at the board game they had laid out "I am so looking forward to winning this board game and gloating a lot"
"No one likes a sore winner, Anya," Buffy corrected her.
"But gloating is the best part of winning." Commented Anya.
"You really shouldn't start gloating till you actually win. Anyway I'm really good at this game so I doubt you'll have a chance," said Buffy smiling at her.
"I'll give you five dollars if you throw the game for me," said Anya.
"Excuse me?" said Buffy.
"It's called putting the fix in. I saw it on an episode of the Soprano's. Isn't it part of the American culture to fix the outcome of events. I believe Don King does it all the time," Anya replied.
"OK fixing fights or board games or anything else is wrong Anya and Don King has bad hair," said Buffy to Anya.
"Hey Buffy there's a little man here for you," said Xander from the hall.
Buffy walked into the hall and immediately recognized Lawrence.
"You're one of Dawny's little friends, Lawrence right?" said Buffy "Oh my god nothing bad happened to Dawn did it"
"No she's fine. Miss Summers," said Lawrence.
Xander laughed a bit "Miss Summers," he murmured under his breath.
'Shut up Xander," she replied and elbowed him in the side.
"Oww slayer strength," said Xander clutching his side from Buffy's jab.
"Oh sorry Xander sometimes I forget, you Ok," replied Buffy.
"I'll live," he replied.
"Umm Miss Sommers, Dawn wanted me to give you a message she said it was urgent," said Lawrence.
"Well everything is urgent to Dawn," said Buffy.
"I thought it was a little silly myself. She just wanted me to tell you that Harmony is at Jasmine's house," replied Lawrence " Though I told her I don't know why you would care to..."
"I'll get the car," said Xander.
"I'll get my coat," said Buffy. "Anya you got babysitting duty. Watch Lawrence"
"Babysitting. I don't need any Baby.." Lawrence started to say and then saw Anya walk out of the living room. "Umm but I guess I really hate being alone and all."
"Do you like board games?" Anya smiled.
Meanwhile at Jasmine house Dawn was still trying to get Jasmine out of her room.
"Come on Jasmine all of your guests are wondering where you are?" said Dawn.
"You mean all of your geeky friends," replied Jasmine "No thanks I'll just pass."
Damn stubborn little princess, Dawn thought, she deserves what she gets. Dawn mulled it over a bit more and realized that as much as she disliked Jasmine she still felt obligated to protect her. She guessed her sister's good traits were rubbing off on her.
"Umm James was also looking for you," Dawn said cursing the thought of mentioning James after it was out of her mouth.
"James!" squealed Jasmine as she wrestled herself away from Harmony.
Jasmine quickly opened the door.
"What did he say?" Jasmine grilled her "Did he want to see me? What am I saying, of course he wanted to see me. Everyone wants to see me. He must have just been playing hard to get. That's what it was wasn't it."
Dawn looked inside and saw Harmony look at her and quickly change to a vampire face.
"Umm yes that was what he said and that he ahh.. Wanted to ahh.. Dance with you too I think?" said Dawn stumbling over her words.
"Ohh I knew it. I knew he would come to his senses. No one can resist my charms forever. Take me to him." she said
"I guess this means you are out of the running little Dawny. That's too bad for you I guess. I could feel bad for you and all but then that would go against my nature so I won't. If your really looking for someone to go out with I think Lawrence might have a.." Jasmine started to say.
"Jasmine are we going to chat all day or are you coming down," said Dawn really regretting what she had just done.
"I should have just let Harmony suck her dry," she mumbled to herself.
"What was that," replied Jasmine.
"Umm just that look on you is to die," said Dawn mocking Jasmine's tone.
"It is, isn't it," said jasmine not picking up on the subtle mock.
"Oh yes you're right, I think I made James suffer long enough. Come on sis, you can watch your younger sister in action," said Jasmine.
"Umm I'm sure she's probably tired and needs her rest before the ahh sun comes up," said Dawn as Harmony approached them.
"Nonsense Dawn. Lead the way sis," Harmony said going back to human form. "Where is this hunky guy of yours?"
"This is going to be so cool," said Jasmine.
James was waiting around in the living room sulking. He still couldn't believe about Lawrence and Dawn. He really liked Dawn but he realized he was a dope for not making a move sooner. He first saw her at his football games just sitting there. She had such a pretty smile and he always thought he would build up the courage to talk to her one day. The opportunity never came around. When he saw her in gym class this summer he thought it was the perfect time to talk to her. Since there weren't a lot of people in gym class if he started fumbling over his words he could just get into sports mode and he knew he wouldn't be at a loss for words. It had gone really good, he thought to himself. He even enjoyed the dance they shared. Now she was with Lawrence and if he wasn't such a dork he might have been able to have a shot with her. What a wimp, he thought to himself.
Meanwhile back in the kitchen.
"You don't think he thought, "said Bo commenting on James seeing him and Hannah hug. "I mean you aren't right? Because I think you're a cool girl and all but not like well you know"
"Don't worry Bo I'm only interested in you for the chips," she said grabbing another bag.
Back in the living room.
James saw Dawn coming down the steps with Jasmine and as soon as she saw James, Jasmine ran over to him.
"Oh James," moaned Jasmine "Dawn told me you were looking for me and yes I would love to dance with you"
"Dawn told you what?" asked James.
James saw that Dawn was watching him from a distance and not saying anything. So she pities me, he thought to himself. She doesn't want me and knew I wanted her so she throws Jasmine at me as a final resounding not interested. Well if she wants me with Jasmine so bad I might as well enjoy it, he continued to think to himself.
"Yes Jasmine, Dawn is right I was looking for you. Want to Dance?" He said to her.
"You bet," she said as she squeezed her arms tighter around him.
James smiled and held Jasmine tightly as they danced and whirled each other across the floor.
"Oh James you're so graceful," said Jasmine beaming.
"Looks like your pal James is really enamored with my little sis," Said Harmony behind Dawn.
Dawn jumped at Harmony's voice.
"Why are you here?" she said to Harmony.
"Just visiting family, not that it's any business of yours." replied Harmony.
"You're a vampire Harmony and Jasmine is my fri.." Dawn started to say friend and then stopped herself "Umm Someone I don't like hanging around Vampires Ok"
"Well your pal Jasmine is still my sister and I wanted a family reunion. Blondie bear left me and then Cordy got all snippy with me just because I almost got her killed. I felt so alone. I felt like I had no one to turn to. That's why I came home Dawn, satisfied." Said Harmony.
"Come home and do what? Get your family back together again?" said Dawn.
"I don't know what your talking about Dawn." Replied Harmony.
"You were going to turn Jasmine into a vampire like yourself weren't you," said Dawn.
"You're delusional little Dawny. I think if you value your little friends here you will keep you mouth shut about the whole vampire thing too," threatened Harmony
"You're delusional Harmony, if you think I'm going to let you get away with this. I mean Jasmine is bad enough being human let alone a vampire."
As the dance ended Jasmine walked with James to her sister Harmony.
"So what are you two talking about," Jasmine said.
"Oh nothing just Girl Talk" said Harmony.
"Hey Dawn," said James somberly.
"Hey," said Dawn
"I have an idea Jasmine," said Harmony "Maybe you can show James here a little tour of our lovely house " Said Harmony "Maybe spend some time alone"
"Alone and defenseless," Harmony whispered into Dawn's ear.
"NOO!" screamed Dawn.
"You've got to get that screaming thing under control Dawn, it's really freaky and why can't I show him around the house," said Jasmine.
"Is there anything wrong Dawn," said James.
"No there's ahh nothing wrong I just don't think Jasmine should leave her guest and all and anyway there is..." Dawn started to say as the doorbell ring. "There is the doorbell and it is ringing so that means someone is coming and Jasmine should greet them because they are a guest and I think I should open the door so you can greet the guest cause greeters greet and guest guest"
Dawn ran to the door and opened it.
"Hi Dawny," said Buffy standing at the door with Xander.
"Buffy!" Dawn shouted very happy to see her sister.
"Hello Buffy," said Harmony standing behind her sister Jasmine.
"Harmony." Replied Buffy.
"What are you doing here?" said Harmony
"I could ask you the same thing?" replied Buffy.
"It's her house silly," said Jasmine.
"Jas that's no way to talk to your elders," said Harmony turning to Buffy.
"It's my house silly," said Harmony.
"Long time no see," added Xander.
"Not long enough," added Harmony tightening her grip on Jasmine. "Are you here to pick up Dawn to go home?"
"Oh yes, that's a good idea" said Jasmine "Guess it's time for you to go home Dawny it's been fun but I guess big sis has to get you home before she turns into a pumpkin."
Jasmine smirks at her comment.
"Cinderella was the hero of that story Jasmine, " said Xander. "Boy you can really tell the family resemblance between the two of you. Especially that misplaced wit"
"At least I'm not like ahh You," said Harmony.
"Like I said, family wit," replied Xander.
Buffy looked at Harmony as she held her sister tightly. Harmony had the upper hand. There were too many innocent kids and Harmony was so close to her sister she could snap her neck before Buffy could get to her.
"Yes Jasmine that's exactly why I'm here. Come on Dawny I think it's time to go," said Buffy
"I can't," said Dawny "all my friends would be helpless against the evils of ahh fruit punch."
"Fruit punch?" remarked Jasmine.
"Yes fruit punch," chimed in Xander "It stains your teeth"
"Yes yes and it umm has a lot of sugar. It's very bad for you," added Buffy. "But nevertheless you are coming home with me now Dawny. This is no place for you"
"You people are really wacked," commented Jasmine.
"Actually I don't mind if Dawn stays," said Harmony.
"Well she can't." said Buffy.
"Buffy you can't make me go home now. The ahh party is just starting," said dawn starting to get more agitated.
Holly looked on and smiled "Little Dawny was going to be embarrassed by her big sister in front of all her friends. This was classic," she thought to herself.
"Dawn I don't want to hear another word. I want you safe and sound and home where you belong," said Buffy sternly.
"But nobody else knows about the ahh fruit punch," said Dawn " I can't leave them. They could get hurt." Said Dawn.
"By fruit punch? " added Jasmine. "Is this like some radical chapter of the American dental association or something. It's nutri-sweet punch if that makes you feel better"
"Umm Buffy I think Dawn may have a point here." Said Xander.
"You can't be serious," said Buffy.
"We could stay close in case Dawn ahh.. Sees any tooth decay show up?" replied Xander. "Otherwise we are risking rampart umm decay occurring"
"Damn it," thought Buffy. Buffy looked at Xander and knew he was right. She couldn't take Dawn and leave these kids defenseless with Harmony. She also couldn't act right now. Dawn was the only person who knew who Harmony really was and as much as Buffy hated the thought of putting her sister in danger if she didn't stay she was putting all those other kids in danger.
"You sure you want to stay Dawn," said Buffy.
"You don't want to stay Dawn really you don't. I lied about the punch it's full of sugar and very bad for you," Jasmine jumped in.
"I'm sure Buffy," said Dawn.
"No I don't want her to stay and it's my party and I say..." shouted Jasmine as Harmony held her back.
"Oww Harmony that hurt, " shouted Jasmine as Harmony dug her fingers into Jasmine's shoulders looking directly at Buffy.
"I think you should go now Buffy," said Harmony.
"All right I'm leaving," said Buffy acknowledging Harmony's subtle threat when she dug her hands into Jasmine's shoulders. "Take care of yourself Dawn"
"I will," replied Dawn.
"Oh there's one thing I forgot" said Buffy reaching into her pocket "Dawn, here's you necklace you forgot it home"
Buffy throws Dawn a large cross pendant and necklace. Harmony stumbles back a bit at the sight of it and averts her eyes.
"Umm Thanks Buffy," said Dawn putting it around her neck.
"God that's so gaudy," said Jasmine.
"OK we're going to go now Dawn. If you need anything just Yell," said Buffy as she started to walk out the door.
"Yell loudly," she said and closed the door.
