PART 1

" What's that?" Dawn Summers asked as her ten year old eyes looked up at her big sister.
" What's what, Dawnie?" Buffy asked appiling peach lip stick to her lips.
" That stuff you are putting on your lips?" the little brunet asked as she sat down beside her sisters chair.
" It's lipstick, and you're to young to wear any," Buffy Summers said smiling down at her little sister.
Their mother and them had just moved to Sunnydale, California a week ago. Already she was into her knees in demons and vampires. Buffy had met her knew Watcher Rupert Giles and had made two new friends Willow Rosenburg and Xander Harris.
" When I can I wear some?" Dawn asked giving her sister an innocent look that usually got her what she wanted from her parents.
" When Mom says you can," Buffy said getting up grabbing her bookbag.
" You're not going to get kick out of school again, Are you?" Dawn asked recalling the conversation that she had heard her mother and sister talking about earlier that day.
" I'm going to try not too," Buffy promised smiling at her little sister. She loved Dawnie, her little sister was everything she could of hoped for in a little sister. Sure Dawn drove her up the wall sometimes, what sister or brother doesn't, but all her friends always told her what an adorable little sister Dawn was.
" Where are you going so late?" Dawn asked as she saw her sister put on her coat.
" I have to go out, and run some errands for school," Buffy told her little sister not wanting to mention demons in her presents.
" When will you be home?" Dawn asked. " I want you to read to me tonight," she pointed out.
" I'll be home in time to read to you," Buffy promised before leaving her little sister to look after her as she left.
' My sister isn't running errands. Please, anyone who can hear me watch over her.' Dawn prayed before running downstairs to eat chocolate brownies with her mother.

PART 2

" So what the what?" Buffy asked her Watcher as she sat down beside her friend Xander Harris in the library. " What big baddy are we dealing with this week?"
" Goblin creature," Xander answered for Giles. " It attacked Will and I tonight as we were walking here to meet you for patrol."
" Are you two alright?" Buffy asked concered for her friends.
" Yeah, Giles came along just in time," Xander answered laying his feet upon the library table.
Buffy look Xander over and then looked over to where Willow was trying away on the computer just to make sure they where really all right. When she was satified she turned her attention back to what Giles was saying.
" To defeat this Goblin is quite easy actually. It comes fromt the fairytale the 'Princess and the Goblin' and according to the story the goblins are afraid of water. That alone should scare them away. However, since this Goblin did not try to hurt Xander and Willow, but grab Willow instead we can assume that it's not to dangerous," Giles explained as he wiped his glasses with a hankerchief.
" Well I'll go look for it and you can keep researching on where I might find it," Buffy said standing up from her chair.
Walking over to the weapons cabinet she took out a stake and put it in her coat.
" Buffy, goblins, have a thing for being around children so you might want to make sure that Dawn is safe," Giles suggested to his slayer.
" Speaking of, how is Dawie?" Willow asked sweety. She thought Buffy's little sister was the sweetiest little girl in the world.
" She's fine, I have to read her a story tonight," Buffy said. " I'll go check on here and then I'll hit the streets," Buffy said heading towards the door.
Buffy headed home to check on her little sister.

"Dawn," Buffy called as she walked up the stairs to her little sister's room.
Giggling from inside her sister's room stopped Buffy in her tracks.
"Would you like more tea, Mr. Blin?" she heard Dawn asked in her sweet little girl voice.
Buffy smiled, thinking Dawn was playing tea party again with her dolls. However, when she heard a voice replied that smile turned into a frown.
"Why I like some, My Little Princess," the weirder voice said.
" Dawn," Buffy said barging into her little sisters room. " Are you all right?" she asked looking around Dawn's Scooby Doo room.
" I'm fine, Buffy. Now is it story time?" Dawn asked giving Buffy a pleading look.
" Sweet Pee, someone else was in the room with you. Who was it?" Buffy asked picking her little sister up.
" My friend," Dawn answer laying her head on Buffy's shoulders.
"Your friend?" Buffy asked curiously. " Mom, doesn't let you have friends over this late."
"No, my green friend," Dawn clarified looking at her sister.
"Your green friend?" Buffy asked holding Dawn tigher. " Sweet Pee, where is your friend now?" Buffy asked Dawn as she headed towards Dawn's door.
"He's hiding from you. He says you'll make him go away," Dawn answered. "You won't will you, Sissy?" Dawn asked curiously.
"Dawnie, sometimes having green friends aren't always good for you," Buffy explained trying to make her sister understand.
"Why, it's no different then having a different color human friend," Dawn pointed out.
"Well, that's different. They're human, from what I'm gathering your friends not," Buffy tried again to explain.
"Buffy, I like him. He plays with me when you can't," Dawn said innocently. "He's not always gone," she pointed out causing Buffy to look at her sadly.
Sitting down on Dawn's bed Buffy looked at her blue eye little sister. " Sweet Pee, I'm gone a lot because I have to be not because I want to be. I would love to spend more time with you taking you to the park or out swimming," Buffy confessed gentely as she hugged her little sister to her.
"Then why don't you?" Dawn asked wondering.
"Because I have other things that are in no way more important to me then you are, but I have to do them. People count on me," Buffy said as she unbraided her sisters brown hair. " but that will never mean that I will ever stop loving you or mom," she clarified.
"Will you still read to me before bed time?" Dawn asked.
"Every chance I get, and if I don't at night, I promise I will in the morning," Buffy answered sisterly.

"He's under the bed," Dawn told her sister.
Buffy nodded and put Dawn down on the bed as she moved to look under it. When she did all she found was a little note saying:
Hey Little Princess,
I guess my work here is done. You don't need me to keep you company anymore.
Love Your Green Friend,
Blin
"What's that?" Dawn asked Buffy about the note.
" This is just saying that your friend went home," Buffy explained," and that means it's story time," she said earning her a happy laugh from her sister as she started to tickle her.
