NAiya-Isis: What do you mean about to get interesing? It hasn't been interesting yet (sob) I am a failure as a fanfic writer (boo hoo) Farewell cruel world (sound of a typewriter jumping off a tall building) p.s. If you think last episode was cringe worthy, wait for next week!

Buffy was downstairs making tea, listening to Dawn blow dry her hair. She could not believe how quickly Dawn and Xander had arranged a night out. Admittedly it was Saturday so chances are Dawn at least would have been out, while Xander may have been having a pint at his Local.

Maybe She was really right after all, Xander was everything a girl could want, Dawn would get the life she had not been able to have as the slayer, well, she could probably have that life now if she wanted, let the field commanders take care of the ends of the world while she sat in her Hammersmith house raising a family.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door, "Xander, you have a key!" She called out a she strained the leaves, funny how she had grown to finally appreciate tea.

"I know I have a key, but I am here on a date, so protocol, you know?"

Buffy turned to see Xander, only her slayer reflexes stopped her from dropping the china

"Hey Buffy, you ok? Your kind of gaping there."

Xander was dressed in a skintight black shirt that showed just how much time he spent building and repairing the training room, the pants also left little to the imagination

Xander turned walked to the stairs; Buffy realized the pants also showed a lot to be desired

"Dawn, I'm here"

"Be right down" A voice called from the top of the stairs.

Buffy finally composed herself "So, Xander... where are you going?"

"Well, Limelight is having a Latin night, and hey, you know how I love to salsa."

"Really? I thought you were just doing dinner and movie or something simple."

Buffy had a rising feeling of Anxiety.

"Nah, we do that all the time, this is our first date so we wanted something special."

Dawn thundered down the stairs, she was wearing a mid-rift, entirely backless halter neck, and low riding, clinging pants,

"Hey babe" She nuzzled Xander's neck and definitely squeezed his Arse during the hug

"Ok, bye sis, don't wait up."

And with that they were gone

"My god" Buffy thought, "what have I done?"

Xander and Dawn sped of in the convertible Peugeot that was officially Xander's work car.

"Did you see her face? That was SO funny!" Dawn was practically bouncing!

"Oh yeah, I got to say I am enjoying tonight"

"Hey keep your eye on the road!"

"Cross my heart, do you think she is regretting it yet?"

"Oh yeah, I am gonna make sure she stops butting into my life!"

"I have heard that before, so, fancy Indian for dinner?"

"Yeah, lets go to the one near your place, and then taxi off, I intend to get you drunk tonight!"

Dawn and Xander were waved through by the bouncer who knew who to let through on instinct.

The club was alive with light, sound and people dancing, Dawn soon had Xander amongst the thick of them, admittedly Dawn was doing most of the dancing and Xander following on, but the boy could definitely Salsa better than most of the locals.

By the time the Salsa was done and the techno was playing Xander and Dawn were both very happy'.

Dawn pulled Xander's wallet from his back pocket and went to buy another round.

Dawn had no trouble making her way to the bar, but buying her own drinks was the hard part.

She had been enjoying the evening; there was no pretending with Xand, everything that needed to be said already had so they just enjoyed the company.

She walked back to where Xand was standing, admiring the woodwork, typical carpenter, and noticed a group of girls circling.

Dawn bristled, not the way she did for vampires nearby though, this was different. She walked straight past the girls and pressed herself into Xander, she pulled his ear to her mouth "Time to REALLY Dance"

She pulled Xander onto the dance floor and let the music take her, sending a definite signal to anyone else in the club; MINE.

Xander for his part was definitely enjoying himself, Dawn's dancing style led to a lot of desire, Xander was definitely feeling much better than he had for months.

So he was surprised when Dawn said it was time to go

"You sure Dawn? You usually like to party a lot longer than this!"

"Time to get you home, can I borrow your mobile?"

They jumped into a cab and Dawn Texted a message to Buffy who she was sure was waiting up

"Will SLP Xan home, talk TMMRW"

"What's that say?" Xander tried to focus his one blurry eye on the small screen,

"I am just telling Buffy I will stay at your place tonight, I don't think you are in a state to drive me home."

Xander agreed and put her arm around Dawn.

"Best night I have had in Ages"

"Glad to oblige Mr. Harris, glad to oblige."

The cab pulled up to Xander's building and Dawn paid before helping Xander up the stairs, they walked into his living room and collapsed onto the sofa, Dawn ended up sitting on his lap

"You know, maybe this was not such a bad idea of that sister of mine"

She was playing with his hair as he lent back eyes closed "I agree, Buffy has had much dumber id-"

He was cut off when Dawn's lips closed around his own,

He was less surprised though, when a few minutes later, Dawn led him into his own bedroom.
