As everyone stared at Fred awaiting her answer she began to blush beet red and stutter.
"I, um, I really like Dawn.." Fred finally said. Anya nodded looked at Cordy who was standing next to her. "Told you she wants her."
Dawn who had been listening from around the corner smiled as a new warmth spread through her body. No one had ever really liked her before, and certainly not someone she liked back. Now that she knew it would be so much easier to seduce the older woman. Dawn was just about to retreat back the way she came to plan out what she was going to do but as she turned around she was confronted with her sister. Dawns heart went into her throat as she gasped in surprise. "Buffy, hey."
"Don't Buffy hey me. What have you got going on in that brain of yours Dawny?" Buffy had heard the conversation as well and knew her sister well. Dawn was up to something. Dawn was about to lie but she decided that she was done lying to her sister right then and there about everything.
"Listen Buffy I like Fred and she likes me back. She's a good person and so what if she is older than I am, it's not like she is that much older. Besides if you want to get technical I'm a ball of energy that's been around for a millennia so... Anyway I don't think it's any of your business who I chose to be with." Dawn said as she tried to stare her sister down. Buffy was surprised to say the least as she heard her sister speak to her in a manner she had never heard before. She realized her sister had grown up and she hadn't even seen it happen.
"Dawn you're only seventeen." Buffy tried to reason.
"Almost eighteen and you were sixteen when you lost your virginity." Dawn reminded her, as if Buffy could forget. Knowing she there wasn't anything she could do to stop her sister Buffy acceded.
"Alright Dawn I trust your judgement, please be careful though, that's all I'm saying." Buffy said touching her sister's arm.
Dawn nodded smiling.
"I gotta go to my room for a sec, can you do me a favour and tell Cordy to meet me there?"
"Cordy? Why?" Buffy asked. Dawn rolled her eyes.
"Just do it ok?" Dawn ordered and with a swish of her beautiful hair she turned and practically skipped off.
Buffy still wearing her confused face shrugged and headed towards the pot room. As she got closer she heard the voice of her lover.
"..and this demon it slimed all over them all, except me of course because,"
"Because you're a lucky shit." Buffy said interrupting Faiths story.
"Aww babe you ruined the ending to a great story there you know." Faith said as she rose from the pillow she had been lounging on. Buffy glanced around the room and was surprised to see only Cordy sitting there.
"Where is everyone?" Buffy asked.
"Willow and Tara went to take a shower I guess they had that not so fresh feeling after their recent activities, and Fred took off like the hounds of hell were on her heels." Faith explained.
"And Anya went to call Xander to make sure he knew their 'relationship' is over." Cordy jumped in.
"I see. Oh yeah Cordy, Dawn wanted you to go meet her in her room." Buffy relayed.
"Really? What for?"
"She wouldn't tell me." Buffy shrugged.
"Hmm I'm curious." Cordy said seeming to make up her mind as she got up to leave. Only then did Buffy notice the huge amount of candy and other assorted goodies in the middle of the room.
"Holy crap! It's a good thing we have that slayer metabolism thing happening." Buffy said, as her eyes grew large. Faith laughed throatily as she grabbed Buffy by the front of her jeans and dragged the willing blonde into a heated lip-lock.

Fred sat in her room with her hands on her face feeling the cool clamminess of her palms against her heated cheeks. Now everyone knew, well everyone except Buffy and that was just a matter of time. Fred felt like she was going to faint. She knew she had to come to terms with her feelings about Dawn. So Fred forced herself to stop freaking out. She was probably overreacting anyway. It's no big deal right? Dawn probably didn't even think of her like that anyway. At that thought relief spread over Fred like a warm blanket. Fred let out a deep breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. She just wouldn't pursue it, simple as that. Thoughts are just thoughts. The brunette genius smiled now that she'd decided on a course of inaction.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dawn looked at all the clothes she had brought with her and none of them were right. She sighed in distaste when, without knocking, Cordy entered the room with her usual flourish.
"So I was summoned?" Cordy's eyebrow raised mockingly. Dawn blushed a pretty pink and nodded.
"I need your help."
"On?"
"Clothes." Dawn stated. Cordy's eyes lit up at comment and her whole demeanor changed.
"So I take it you want to dress to impress a certain resident geek?" Cordy asked with a grin.
"Fred's not a geek!" Dawn replied defensively. Cordy's smile only grew.
"Man you do have it bad."
"Are you going to help me or just stand there and make me feel like an idiot?" Dawn asked as she finished blushing for a second time in mere minutes.
"I'm sure there's something we can do."
"All my clothes are lame." Dawn pouted.
"Well I'd lend you mine but she's seen them… you know what we need to do don't you?" Cordy asked solemnly. Dawn just looked at her.
"Shopping!" Cordy squealed happily.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tara had taken her shower first and was now combing out her dirty blonde locks. She was thinking about Fred and Dawn. To her Dawn was her little sister but looking at it from a different standpoint Tara understood how Fred could be attracted to her. Dawn was young, beautiful, smart and sweet. Who wouldn't like her? She felt bad about how the shy young woman had been embarrassed in front of everyone earlier and decided to go see how she was doing. Tara went into the bathroom to let her girlfriend know where she was going.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Buffy and Faith ended up on the floor of the pot room splayed amongst the pillows not far from where Willow and Tara had been. They were enjoying themselves thoroughly until they heard a not so discreet coughing noise at the door.
"Don't they ever stop?" Cordy asked the younger Summers as they stood in the doorway with their arms crossed.
"No." Dawn replied.
"Why do you suppose that is?" Cordy asked.
"Slayer stamina?" Dawn shrugged.
"Ha ha very funny you guys." Buffy rolled her eyes at the two smug brunettes.
"So did you come in here just to ruin our fun or was there something else you wanted?" Faith asked only somewhat sourly.
"I need to go shopping." Dawn replied with a direct look at her sister. Buffy rolled her eyes again as she reached for her wallet.
"Keep rolling your eyes like that and they'll stick." Cordy teased. Buffy stuck her tongue out at Cordy while giving Dawn the credit card.
"Don't break the bank Dawny or else." Buffy warned darkly. This time it was Dawns turn to roll her eyes. She looked so much like Buffy that Faith started to laugh.
"Or what?" Dawn had to ask.
"Or else I sick Faith on you." Buffy promised.
"Oh I'm really scared." Dawn replied unimpressed. Faith was on her feet in a flash as she grabbed the youngest Summers around the waste and threw her to the pillows and started tickling her. As Dawn laughed uncontrollable Buffy and Cordy watched on smiling in amusement.
"I'm gonna pee! I'm gonna pee!" Dawn yelled finally getting Faith to let go of her. Dawn quickly bolted behind Cordelia making a mental note to get the slayers back later. Right now she had bigger fish to fry.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Willow came out of the shower in her white bathrobe shaking her auburn hair out with a towel and humming to herself. She stopped in shock as she saw a teary eyed ex-demon sitting on her and Tara's bed.
"Anya?" Willow asked confusedly. Anya's lip began to quiver as the tears started to flow again.
"I just got off the phone with Xander and he said he wants one of us out of Sunnydale preferably me."
"He said that?" Willow asked. Xander must be more hurt about Anya dumping him than she'd thought.
"I know you two are best friends but I didn't have anyone else to talk to about this.. I actually came looking for Tara." Anya said pouting. Willow actually felt bad for blunt woman so she put her towel on a chair and sat down beside Anya on the bed and put her arm around her shoulder in a comforting embrace.
"It'll be ok An." Willow really didn't know what else to say, Tara really was better at this kind of thing.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fred heard the soft knock on her door.
"Come in." Fred said soflty. Tara opened the door and peaked in.
"Hey how are you doing?" Tara asked as she walked into the quiet woman's bedroom.
"Better." Fred replied. Tara sat down beside Fred and looked at her with her soulful blue eyes.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Tara asked. Fred just shook her head no, not knowing how to voice her jumbled thoughts to her new friend. Tara patted Fred's thigh and smiled reassuringly.
"It's ok you know." Tara said in her soft lilting voice.
"What?"
"Liking Dawn." Tara replied, knowing it's what Fred needed to hear. Fred just sighed.
"I need to get stoned." Fred said mournfully. Tara giggled and hugged Fred quickly pulling her up and out the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As soon as they exited the pot room Dawn dragged Cordy around the corner and back into her bedroom.
"Dawn? I thought we were going shopping." Cordy asked.
"Look what I stole." Dawn said pulling the bud and pack of zigzags she had grabbed out to show the older brunette.
"Since when were you a thief?" Cordy asked looking impressed that she hadn't noticed the young woman do the deed.
"Since freshman year." Dawn shrugged, "Long story."
"Well?" Cordy asked motioning to the weed.
"Well I can't roll." Dawn replied dropping the bud and papers into Cordys delicate hand and hopping onto the bed with a huge grin. Cordy laughed at the childish exuberance and then set to her task of rolling the joint.
"This is going to make shopping even more fun." Dawn said practically drooling at the smell of the marijuana.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Willow stalked into the pot room with a puffy-eyed Anya in tow disturbing the slayers make-out session once again.
"Anya needs weed." Willow stated a wild look to her eyes. Buffy could tell it was more like Willow needed weed from having to deal with a distraught Anya. The slayers' just smiled regrettably knowing they would have to finish their little escapade a bit later.
"Alright I guess I will roll a huge blunt then." Faith said grabbing the big bag of weed she had procured. She felt for the papers that were in her back pocket only to find them missing. Hmm that's odd. She looked over to the pile of goodies and noticed the two witches had thought to buy several packs of papers so she grabbed one of them and got to work. This was going to be sweet as long as Anya didn't ruin everyone's buzz.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Alright let's go." Tara replied, "After all I'm sure Faith got us some weed."
"Okay." Fred said her voice sounding lost.
As the two quiet girls reached the pot room they heard Faith's sounds of triumph.
"Ta da!" she said as she showed everyone the huge triple papered joint she had rolled so carefully.
And so they all sat in a circle. From left to right, Buffy, Faith, Anya, Willow, Tara and Fred. Fred was sitting right beside Buffy and she was still a little scared of the blonde slayer, wondering if she knew about her and Dawn. Fred was once again reminded how there was nothing to know and tried to calm down. Buffy could hear Fred's heart beating so fast in her thin frame and the smell of fear just rolled off of the woman. Buffy regarded Fred closely for a moment noting that Fred seemed much younger than her years. Deciding to put the girl out of her misery she made eye contact and smiled her most disarming smile causing Fred's eyes to grow large. And even though Fred still seemed a bit on edge she also calmed down some after that. Then Faith lit the joint.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dawn sat with a pillow behind her up against the headboard while Cordy lay sprawled on the bed facing her. They were burnt.
"Damn Faith sure knows good stuff when she buys it." Cordy stated as she puffed on the dwindling joint.
"Faith knows alot about alot." Dawn agreed as Cordy passed her what was left of the j. Dawn finished it off and butted it dropping it on the side table.
"So, you and Fred?" Cordy said grinning mischievously.
"Well no not really, we haven't done anything." Dawn replied, "Hell I've never done anything." And then a thought occurred to Dawn, "Oh my god, I've never done anything! I've only ever kissed one boy and he was a vampire and he knew it was my first time, probably because I sucked so bad!" Dawn exclaimed throwing her hands over her face. Cordy tried not to laugh, and succeeded, though only barely. She couldn't keep the grin from spreading across her face however at the younger woman's plight.
"Kissing is easy." Cordy said.
"Gee that's helpful." Dawn said sarcasm dripping from every word. Cordy smiled and began to try and explain how to kiss. After about five minutes of that a very confused Dawn stopped her.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just show me?" Dawn asked her shyness having left her after the third hit.
"Buffy would kill me." Cordy stated immediately laughing at the thought.
"Buffy doesn't need to know. In fact no one does. It would be a huge favour Cordy, please?" Dawn asked knowing the full effect her doe eyes had on people.
"Oh your good." Cordy replied.
"Is that a yes?" Dawn asked cheekily. For an answer Cordy leaned in slowly, giving Dawn enough time to understand what was coming, and began kissing her.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Everyone was now happily munching on the snacks provided by the witches. Everyone except Anya seemed to perk up. Faith knew Anya was gonna ruin her buzz, time for drastic measures.
"Who wants to play a game?" Faith asked the room.
"Oh me!" Buffy raised her hand as she bounced up and down. She looked so cute Faith couldn't help smiling at her love.
"Ok the rest of you in?" Faith asked, and not waiting for an answer she continued on, "Great. And since Buffy you were so excited about it you get to go first."
"What are we playing?" Buffy asked starting to feel a little wary.
"Spin the bottle." Faith replied, watching everyone's faces drop with unbelieving horror, everyone except Anya's who seemed to be off in her own little world.
"You're kidding right?" Fred asked.
"Nope."
"We don't have a bottle." Anya pointed out,
"Besides that why would we want to spin it?" she asked.
"Ah Anya your awake! Good." Faith said grinning.
"Ok time to improvise.. we're going to play spin the stake." She said pulling a stake from her coat.
"Kinky." Tara said jokingly and they all laughed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cordelia really hadn't expected to get as turned on as she was getting. After all she was jus kissing the girl. She licked Dawns bottom lip and then sucked it lightly into her mouth. She nibbled with her teeth and probed with her tongue. She did every little thing she could think of. And each time she would stop and explain to Dawn what she was doing. Of course every time she pulled away Dawns eyes drooped more with desire. Finally Dawn was becoming quite good and quite aggressive as she latched onto the older woman's tongue and suckled it fiercely. Cordelia pulled away abruptly. Both of them regained their breath slowly.
"Ok you definitely have that down, anything else just go with your gut. Oh and one other thing, the g-spot? Two inches in and up. The rest is up to you. Let's go shopping." Cordy said as she stood from the bed and grabbed her purse.
"Thanks Cordy." Dawn said smiling with her now slightly swollen lips.
"No problem."
