AJ: [puts other hand in the ssshhhing position] Ssssshhhhh. [Puts hand down by side] Please don't scream. I'm not gonna hurt you, okay. Now I'm going to slowly walk back to the corner of your room so I can tell you my story, okay?
[AJ moves his hand and moves into the corner of her room that was close to the window.]
Dawn: [opens the drawer of her desk and takes out a bottle of holy water without AJ knowing.] You're a vampire!?
[AJ was speechless. Dawn throws holy water on AJ's injury as they both scream. AJ screamed from the pain and showed his demonic face. Dawn screamed from the sight of his face. AJ opened her window and jumped out. Once he hit the ground he kept running. The Scooby Gang runs upstairs to find Dawn shaken up with the window being open and its curtains blew around.]
Buffy: What happened?
Dawn: He kissed me and…
Xander: You got your first kiss; our little Dawn-mister is growing up.
Dawn: He's a vampire…
Anya: You kissed a vampire?!
Dawn: Look, Buffy went through this with Angel too.
Willow: We gotta tell Giles.
Scene: Giles' house
[Buffy, Dawn, Xander, and Willow, and Spike were there talking to Giles.]
Giles: A new vampire, really?
Buffy: His name is AJ, or that's at least what he told Dawn.
Dawn: He said he wouldn't hurt me and he seemed as normal.
Xander: Nobody is normal in town, no one.
Spike: You said his name was AJ, right? I knew a bloke named AJ.
Giles: [takes out diaries] I think I heard of him. [starts turning pages] I remember reading his name when Angel first came to town. [found page] He is Angel's brother.
Willow: Angel has a brother? Why hasn't Angel mentioned it?
Xander: I think I speak for all when I say: dun, dun, dun.
Spike: AJ was some bloke. All the ladies loved 'em. He was the flirter of the gang.
[Buffy looked at the page and turns a page after another of all the things that AJ did]
Buffy: Whoa, he's a bad mamma jammma.
Dawn: Shut up, he's not like that. He seemed so sweet and kind and had these eyes.
Willow: Dawn, AJ seduced you, I researched him and found out that's how he kills. He gets close to his victims and strikes at anytime. Like Angel did.
Spike: I gotta go. [leaves]
Scene: AJ's apartment
[A door slams with such a force the hinges shook. AJ walks inside his apartment filled with rage]
AJ: Dammit! [throws vase into wall] [sits down in chair] I just had to…[smells something] Someone's here. You're behind me, aren't you? William, why are you here? [turns around while carrying chair and sees Spike]
Spike: Hello, mate. It's been awhile.
AJ: Why are you here?
Spike: [walks closer] I have information for you.
AJ: Talk, now.
Spike: That girl you kissed…
AJ: You mean Dawn.
Spike: Yeah Dawn, anyway, her sister is the slayer. They're huntin' you down. They know about your numerous kills, but they don't know about your so-called way with animals.
AJ: [AJ smiles because he has an idea.] I have an idea. C'mon, I'll tell you on the way over.
Spike: But-[agitated] Oh bloody hell.
[They leave]
Scene: Summer's house
[Spike knocks on door holding puppy and Dawn answers it]
Dawn: Spike, what are you doing here?
Spike: I came to ask you a favor. [Brings puppy close to Dawn] Can you watch him? This little bugger has been running around town and I felt bad and sorry for the little guy.
Dawn: Are you trying to suck up to Buffy.
Spike: [Trying to sound serious.] Me? Nooooo. I just feel bad for the poor guy.
Dawn: [looks into the puppy's eyes.] Sure, why not.
Spike: Great. I gotta go. Oh, and if your sister asks, this conversation never happened. You found him on your way home from school. [leaves]
[Dawn carried the puppy upstairs to her room. She place the puppy on her bed.]
Dawn: You are so adorable! [scratches behind the puppy's ears]
[Door slammed. Buffy is home.]
Buffy: (Off stage) Dawn, are you here?
Dawn: (calls downstairs) Yeah, I'll be right down. (Starts talking to herself) Oh god, Buffy will never let me keep this cute puppy. I gotta hide you. [Puts puppy in closet and runs downstairs]
[Buffy is putting groceries away and Dawn helps]
Buffy: Why did it take you so long to come down stairs?
Dawn: I was starting a new diary since I burned all my other ones.
Scene: Dawn's Room
[The closet door slowly opens. It's AJ shirtless with sweat dripping from his face.]
Buffy: (Off stage) I'm glad that your okay because with AJ running around , well, it isn't safe.
AJ: Oh great, the slayer thinks I want to hurt Dawn. I think I'm falling in love with her.
[Dawn walks up the stairs and AJ walked into the closet and shut the door.]
Dawn: [opens the door and takes AJ out and he is a puppy] Hey cutie. You need a name, hmm… I got it! An excellent kiss gave this idea, how about Alex?
[AJ the puppy barks twice.]
Dawn: Oh no, that was a little too loud Alex.
[Buffy runs into Dawn's room from hearing the barking]
Buffy: What's this dog doing here?
Dawn: He jumped into the window?
[Buffy picks up the puppy and looks into his eyes. AJ's eyes were as angelic and pale blue as when he is in human form.]
Buffy: [Puts down dog] You can't keep the puppy…[puppy sits down on Dawn's bed and slowly tilts his head. Buffy turns her head away] I can't look at him and say no. He's too cute.
[The clock strikes twelve times.]
Buffy: You should go to bed, now.
Dawn: But I'm not tired.
[Buffy gave Dawn a look that said, "listen to me or else"]
Dawn: [in a not wanting to way] Fine.
[Buffy leaves]
[Dawn goes to sleep and the puppy jumps off the foot of the bed and changes back into a human. A girl barges into Dawn's room and Dawn wakes up. She sees AJ by her side shirtless. The woman walks towards AJ.]
Christina: James, I've missed you terribly.
AJ: Christina…
[Christina throws AJ out the window and she jumps out the broken window and starts chasing him.]
[Dawn is sitting in her bed dazed.]
Dawn: BUFFY, get over here NOW!!!
[Buffy comes running in]
Dawn: Get Giles over here as quick as you can.
Buffy: Why?
Dawn: One word: Christina.
