AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yeah…what can I say? I love Andrew. Review if you like.

DISCLAIMER: I wish they were mine…except Dawn. Everyone but her.

STATUS: I figure it's just a one shot gig.

Help With Math

"Gawd!" Dawn cried out of frustration. Stupid Miss Rader had given her another stupid page of homework just because she was talking…how totally unfair! "This is impossible!"

"Everything alright here, Nibblet?" Spike said as he poked his head inside.

"No, it's just…"

"Demon? Boyfriend?"

"No, I can't work with polynomials. They-,"

"Wanna hear a story about a polynomial?"

"Sure, if it will help."

"Oh, it will. Ok, see, once there was this, er…Polly girl, and come to think of it, I'm not sure her name really was Nomial…maybe I'm thinking she was a Nomad. Yeah, but see, one day I find here mum has just-,"

"So this has nothing to do with math?"

"Well, kind of…" She gave him a look. "Alright. No. If you don't want to hear, I'll find Rona…she loves gore…" He stepped out in search of the SIT.

Dawn tried again to figure out exactly what was going on, and still had no clue. She let out another screech of frustration. This time Andrew poked his head in.

"H-hey, Dawn. Uh, what's up?" She noticed he was wearing another one of her mom's old aprons.

"Oh, this stupid math homework."

"Math?" He brightened up and stepped inside. "What kind?"

"Polynomials. They don't like me."

"Oh, I love math! I can actually help with something!" He sat next to Dawn on her bed and placed his feather duster on his other side. "Alright, let's see…" He was quiet as he studied the problem. "I see what you've done wrong. See, you add that, but not that. Get it?"

"Oh my god, why didn't I see that?"

"Need help with anymore?"

"No-,"

"I want to see you do the next one to make sure." She looked up at him, puzzled. "You know," he rushed, "so you won't like, fail out." He half smiled. Dawn finished the next one. "Ok, you got it." Silence followed.

"Uh, yeah." She brushed a piece of hair out her eyes and tucked it behind her ear. She gave him a shy smile.

"Want me to leave now?"

"No, no, it's fine." Some more silence followed, and then she kissed him. She pulled away quickly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to-,"

"Wow." He said a little dazed. He kissed her back.

A/N: HA! That's how it ends! The entire point of this story was to make them kiss! Ok, my ranting spell is over.
