Pippy watched Spike leave Buffy's house. "Wow!" she murmured. "Those two
might just pull off getting together on their own!" She smiled. Perhaps
that could happen, but still, they needed a little shove now and again and
she was going to be there to give it to them. However she still needed to
find a way to study them more closely. Frowning, she thought for a long
moment. Then suddenly, she knew. She had to befriend Buffy. Smiling again,
she shifted into a more comfortable position in the tree she was sitting
in. That wouldn't be too hard. She liked Buffy already. She was a nice girl
and put up with her clumsy and dorky ways at the Doublemeat Palace. This
was probably going to be one of the easier assignments she had been given.
Pippy shuddered as she thought of her blunder with a certain demon and a
normal boy meaning Anya and Xander. Well, she couldn't guarantee true love
now could she? But something inside her fairy heart told her that Buffy and
Spike were meant to be, not matter what. She fluttered her pink wings and
disappeared into a cloud of pink fairy dust.
Buffy sat in front of her bedroom window and looked absentmindedly at the tree in front of her window. Buffy frowned in curiosity as she noticed something pink twinkle on the edge of her vision. 'What the?' And with that, she climbed out, carefully of course, onto her roof. Before long, she reached the tree. With utter amazement, Buffy saw a sort of pink glittering dust on one of the branches. Realizing instantly that this was a Scooby Gang thing, she quickly ran inside her room, grabbed a glass bottle that had once held holy water but was washed and cleaned, and came back out to get a sample. Buffy brushed as much dust as she could into it without letting it fall onto the lawn. The dust half-filled the bottle and twinkled at her every time it struck the moonlight. "Pretty." She thought and smiled. Collecting this was much better than other stuff the Scooby Gang had been forced to collect. Perhaps this would be one of her cleaner jobs as a Slayer. Buffy chuckled at that and climbed back inside her bedroom window. Buffy studied the glittering dust once she had placed the bottle at the edge of her bed. It sparkled and twinkled, and it seemed to light up her entire room with a warm, pink glow. Strangely, Buffy sensed goodness coming from it. As if whatever left it behind wasn't evil at all. Buffy raised her eyebrows at that thought. "Imagine that." She said softly to herself. "Something that comes to Sunnydale that ISN'T evil." Buffy could just see the surprised looks on friend's faces when she told them. Giles would probably clean his glasses for days. That vision made her chuckle. Glancing at her clock, she realized that she needed to get to sleep or she'd never wake up in time to get Dawn ready for school. Buffy snuggled under her covers and went to sleep.
The next morning, Buffy, Xander, and Dawn were sitting on the couch as Buffy relayed her story of the previous night. "Really? A non-evil being here, in Sunnydale?" Buffy nodded. "It's true." Dawn smiled. "This'll be nice for you. No need to slay. It's sort of like a vacation for you." "Indeed." Buffy agreed. "A well-deserved one I might add." Xander grinned. "Let's all form a conga line and celebrate!" Buffy laughed at that and stood up. "How about we all go to the Bronze and have cappuccinos and cinnamon buns?" Dawn suggested. "Great!" Xander said, feeling enthused. "Okay. After you get your homework done tonight, Dawn, we'll head out." Dawn beamed at her sister and grabbed her schoolbag. "See you!" she called to Buffy and Xander. "Have a good day!" Xander and Buffy called at the same time. Once Dawn was out of sight, Xander closed the door and headed into the kitchen. "You know, Buffy, I think there might just be a God out there that decided to take pity on you." Buffy grinned. "Maybe. I could have used him or her sooner though." "Well, take what you can get." Buffy sighed. "I will. I'm going to enjoy myself tonight. Gasp!" Xander laughed. "Well, let me help you pick something to wear." "Buffy raised an eyebrow. "How come I get an ominous feeling when you say that?" "Hey! I have good taste!" Buffy giggled and ruffled Xander's hair. "I was teasing." "Good. Xander will now ascend the stairs after the Lovely Slayer." Buffy burst out laughing and headed up the stairs. "I'm glad you're my friend, Xander." "Me too." And with that, the two friends proceeded to tear her closet apart for the perfect outfit.
