"Can you understand what I am trying to say?" Buffy Summers asked her little eight year old sister.

"No," Dawn Summers said giving her sister an innocent smile.

"Dawnie, it's perfectly safe," Buffy tried again rubbing her forehead. She was starting to get a headache.

"No, it's not," Dawn said, and then with a giggle got up and ran out of the room.

"Dawn Lynn Summers come back here," Buffy yelled running after her little sister.

Buffy chased Dawn into her room before she caught up with the little rascal she called her sister. Opening her closet she found Dawn sitting on the floor hiding behind Buffy's new dress.

"Dawn," Buffy hollered grabbing her dress away from the little brown headed girl.

"What?" Dawn asked still with her little innocent look.

"You're getting in," Buffy told her placing her dress on her bed before grabbing her little sister and through her over her shoulders.

"I don't want to," Dawn complained. "You smell you do it," she said as they entered the bathroom.

"No," Buffy said putting her little sister down. "Mom will be home in a hour and you will be in bed," Buffy told her sister, who was could be quit stubborn sometimes.

Buffy was told by her boyfriend Angel and her mother that Dawn got that from her. Buffy didn't see it, but everyone else did.

"No," Dawn said giving her big sister a puppy dog pout.

"Yes," Buffy insisted," and if you don't I'll take and put you in there myself," Buffy threatened.

"Can we play Barbie afterwards?" Dawn asked looking at the warm water calling her.

"Tell you what," Buffy compromised giving her little sister a smile

"You take your bath, and I'll read you a story. Deal?" she asked.

"Fine," Dawn said taking off her little Mickey rob and got into the bath tub.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"See now that wasn't so bad was it?" Buffy asked her little sister as Dawn walked out of the bathroom wet, but clean.

"Yes," Dawn answered giving her big sister an insisted look. "Now where's my story?" she asked.

"Come on," Buffy said taking Dawn's hand into hers and lead her into her little Princess room.

Buffy tuck Dawn in and started to read 'Sleeping Beauty' one of Dawn's favorites.

"I love you, Sissy," Dawn said as she yawned, a sign that she would soon be asleep.

"I love you too, Niblet," Buffy replied to the little girl.

Before Buffy turned the fourth page Dawn was asleep, and all was silence.

Buffy smiled down at her little sister before walking out of Dawn's room into her own.

"Now homework time," Buffy said sitting down on her bed.

'What a day, what a day' Buffy thought.
