"OK so obviously there's something keeping us in this house." Buffy said
looking around.
The Birthday party had turned into a sleepover and no one could seem to get out of the house no matter what they did.
"I really have to go. I've got a shift at the doublemeat." Sophie said looking freaked out. "I've got classes" said Willow, and Tara nodded. "I know I know. We've all got more important things to do. We just have to think." Buffy said trying to reassure herself.
Dawn was starting to get mad.
"Yeah cuz being stuck in here with me, that would really suck right?" she glared at everyone.
"No Dawnie its just we all have more important things.."
Dawn cut Willow off
"Yeah important. Whatever that means right" she yelled before running up to her room.
Buffy, Willow, Tara, Xander, and Spike followed her.
"Dawn do you know something? Did you do something?" Buffy accused.
Dawn spun around. " No! I didn't to anything!"
Tara stepped in. " Dawn, its ok no ones going to be mad. We want to to feel like you can talk to us."
Dawn was on the verge of tears. " God! I didn't do anything! But I wish I had! How else am I supposed to get anybody to spend any time with me!"
Buffy was trying to control her own temper. "Dawn. If you want us to spend time with you"
"I don't" she answered through clenched teeth. "Get out"
No one moved.
" GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!" she screamed
"Spike." She called him back before she started crying.
He came back in and put an arm around her shoulders and let her cry on his chest. When she had calmed down, she pulled back.
" That might not have been the best way to start the conversation." Dawn said smiling a little
Spike laughed. "Yeah well we'll wait until this whole house arrest thing blows over and THEN we'll talk about the stealin thing. Alight?"
She just nodded against his shoulder.
