Aaron: *Aaron sits on the summer's couch waiting for Dawn so they can go bronzing*

Dawn: *Falls out her room and in to Buffy's, shoes half on and hair being brushed... picks up her sisters coat and pulls it on, fastening her shoes... finishing the ends of her 2 plaits and walking downstairs* hey...

Aaron: *Aaron smiles"hey pet"*

Dawn: *Smiles* so... we going?? *Grins* im feelin all bronzy and.. Well... better than sitting here watching snoopy reruns!

Aaron: *Chuckles and stands up pulling his trench coat on over his blood red silk shirt, black jeans, and Doc martin boots"yep"*

Dawn:*opens the door and walks out, pulling Buffy's coat round her... maybe the short bottle green dress was a little... summery for winter...*

Aaron: *Walks down the side walk next to her"how was the hell hole A.K.A. school today"*

Dawn: *rolls her eyes* ok I spose.... Buffy didn't talk to me at all *grins* this new guy did...

Aaron: *growls slightly*and who would this new guy be?

Dawn: *laughs* hey!!! don't get so "grrr" ... hes called scott... used to go to 1st school with him in LA when i was 9

Aaron: *eyes hidden under silver wrap around sun glasses flash gold*that's nice

Dawn: *continues rambling on about old school friends and how its weird that scotts grown out of his "baby-bell and jelly sandwiches" faze... reaches the bronze and opens the door, heading in to find seats*

Aaron: *Aaron follows her in and goes to the bar and gets a coke and a rum and coke and walks over to their seat and hands her the coke" here"*

Dawn: *takes it smiling slightly* thanks... so... how u been?

Dawn: *scrunches her nose* urgh.... vamps... *sits up* i mean... bad vamps...

Dawn: *laughs slightly* i get to be flower girl!! .... but... yeah... its kinda strange, i mean.... they don't exactly get on... probably end up fighting at the altar..*shudders thinking about it*

Aaron: *frowns* your not the flower...Buffy said you were the maid of honor

Dawn: *scrunches her nose again* I wanna be the flower girl.. then i get to chuck flowers at people....

Aaron: *shakes head and smiles* your nuts ya know that

Aaron: *nods* sure

Dawn: *smiles and holds out her hand*

Aaron: *Gets up and takes her hand leading her to the dance floor*

Dawn: *follows, watching him slightly, worried about the fact that he was being all "short-sentenced"*

Aaron: *begins to dance*

Dawn: *dances too *

Aaron: *at the end of the song he walks back over and sits down*

Dawn: *stands and watches him go, sinking feeling in her stomach. walks after him* umm... ill brb... i got to go to the bathroom........

Aaron: *nods* ok*gets up and sits at the bar and orders a double scotch on the rocks*

Dawn: *watches him and grabs her coat, walking out the bronze* this bites!!  popcorn and snoopy reruns here i come!! *walks along the road feeling annoyed at him for not telling her what was wrong*

Aaron: * walks out after her and blurs in front of her*ditching me?

Dawn: *steps back slightly, pulling herself out her daydream* no.. yes...no... just needed air,,,

Aaron: *nods* ok....I'll walk ya home don't want my brothers or sisters o get ya

Aaron: *they get to the door*see ya tomorrow dawn*turns and begins to walk away

Dawn: *turns and looks after him* ..thanks...

Aaron: *nods as he continues to walk away she cant see but his eyes are golden*

Dawn: *stands and watches him go, unable to say anything... once he's out of sight she turns and kicks the door frame, tears welling in her eyes* bugger... bugger bugger bugger!

Aaron: *gets to the park and finds an vamp and begins to beat on it horribly not tying to dust just using it as a punching bag till he beats it to dust*

Aaron: *grabs another vampire and begins to beat on it*

Aaron: * vamps and sinks his own fangs into the vampire's throat and drains it*

Aaron: *grabs a third vamp and drains it his demon starting to take control*

Dawn: (talking to Buffy)  but I didn't do anything... I don't think!!!!!!  just said that i might invite Scott mcallum to the wedding *giggles* remember... u used to baby-sit him... *Buffy looks at her and Dawn realizes the reason for Aaron's annoyance* oh god..... *grabs the coat again and heads out the door*

Aaron: *grabs the last of the vampires and begins to slam him against a tree snapping bones in the vampire and finally dusting him by ripping his throat out*

Dawn: *runs to the g/y, breathless she stands, mouth open as she watches him*

Aaron: *Aaron forces his demon back down and slumps against the tree and slides down it*

Dawn: *runs over, standing a little way from him, scared to come any closer* ...I...im s..sorry,...

Aaron: *ignores her and lights up a cig and takes a long drag blowing the smoke out of his nose his sunglasses lost some where eyes flashing gold on and off*

Dawn: *steps back a step* Aaron?...

Aaron: *growls slightly feeling the vampire blood flow in his veins* what

Dawn: *steps back again* im sorry....

Aaron: *flicks the butt into the darkness* save it just go call Scott and have fun with him

Dawn: *tears fill her eyes* ...I don't want to.... i..iwas just being nice to him!

Aaron: *frowns* sounded like more than that to me

Dawn: *stamps her foot* for gods sake!!!! he used to be my best friend!!!!  if your gonna get so touchy about it then FINE!! *turns and stamps out the g/y, tears falling down her face and so angry she could smash her fist through a wall and not feel a thing....walks up to the nearest wall and stands there looking at it*

Aaron: *Aaron walks up behind her and stands about 5 feet away* how would you feel if I started going on and on about Darla

Dawn: *hears the female vamps name and prominently punches the wall, letting a whimper of pain escape before pulling her blooded hand up in to her sleeve*... I don't know...

Aaron: *Aaron takes her hand in his own and pulls off his shirt leaving only a beater on and wraps her hand in his shirt* now you know how I felt

Dawn: *bursts in to tears and stands there sobbing, trying desperately to stop herself by biting her lip* i...i.i.i.i.didnt know....

Aaron: *Pulls her into his arms and holds her* i know babe

Aaron: *smirks* no just lick the wounds closed

Dawn: *scrunches her nose but holds out her hand* if it hurts, prepare for the good one to say hello to Ur nose...

Aaron: *smiles and vamps and gently licks the wounds closed and then devamps and kisses each knuckle*
