Buffy walked into the kitchen the next morning and started to make coffee. Dawn was already there, eating a bowl of cereal. Buffy hadn't got much sleep the night before. She had too much on her mind. Giles had gotten a list of everything Willow and Tara needed for the spell, but it would take a few days to get it all.
She had also been thinking about what she would tell Spike when she met him that night. She knew that they needed to talk, but she was still nervous about it.
"Earth to Buffy," Dawn called suddenly. "What's wrong with you today?"
"What?" Buffy jumped. "Oh.it's just.don't worry."
"Come on, you can tell me," Dawn insisted. "Is it Spike?"
"How did you know?" Buffy asked surprised.
"It's so obvious. You were all nervous around him last night and you both disappeared and came back together."
"Oh."
"So, is there something going on between you two?"
"No.I-I don't know."
"What happened?" Dawn asked.
"Look, Dawnie, you wouldn't understand," Buffy said.
"Why," Dawn asked indignantly. "Cause I'm too young. That excuse is getting old, Buffy. You were slaying vampires at my age."
"I know. But I don't even understand this, so how are you supposed to?"
"Try me," Dawn said.
"Okay," Buffy relented. "But you can't tell anyone. Promise?"
"Cross my heart," Dawn said. "So, did you have sex with him?"
"What?!" Buffy choked. "Dawn, no! We only kissed."
"Oh. So, are you guys like together now?" "No, it wouldn't work," Buffy said.
"Why not?"
"He's a vampire, Dawnie, and I'm the Slayer. I can't go through that again."
"Spike is totally different to Angel. He's totally in love with you. Plus he doesn't have a soul to lose."
"But." Buffy started, trying to think of another excuse.
"No buts, Buffy. He loves you, you love him-"
"What? Dawn, I don't love him," Buffy protested.
"Who are you trying to convince? You or me?"
Buffy sighed. She knew she couldn't lie to Dawn anymore.
"Have you told him?" Dawn asked suddenly.
"No," Buffy said softly.
"So tell him already."
"I'm meeting him for patrol tonight."
"And you won't chicken out?" Dawn asked, knowing that she probably would.
"No."
