Buffy is walking down Somerset Close, with her arms folded thinking about the night before, smiling. She was thinking if she should tell anyone about Spike. Willow maybe? Dawn? no cant tell anyone. She reaches the path to her house, she slowly and quietly walks around the back she looks in the window and cannot see anyone in the kitchen. She tries to open the back door but is locked. So she walks around the front and slowly turns the key in the lock, she slowly opens the door and steps inside. She puts her keys on a little table situated by the door. She looks around and starts to climb the stairs.

Dawn: Buffy? (dawn appeared out of no where)
Buffy: hey Dawn...um I was just--
Dawn: No worries what ever my big sis wants to do in her own time is her choice. (she gives a cheeky grin)
Buffy: Ok. Im going to go have a shower, ill be back down later ok?
Dawn: Uh yes but I wont be here, Steph asked me to meet her in the park, is that ok?
Buffy: well where are you going?
Dawn: We were thinking of going to the mall and then the cinema.
Buffy: Ok, what time will you be ba--(she can see the look on Dawns face as if Buffy dont trust her) Ok just be back before dark ok?
Dawn: Sure, thanks Buffy.

She gives her big sis a kiss on the cheek and walks towards the door. She picks up her pureple, denim bag and exits the house. Buffy smiles and walks upstairs. She enters her room and puts her jacket on the bed. She slowly undresses and turns the shower on. Suddenly theres a knock at the door.

Willow: Buffy?
Buffy: Im in the shower.
Willow: Ok, i want you to tell me EVERYTHING about last night ok?
Buffy: (looking worried) uh...yeah sure.

Willow smiles and walks away from the door back to her bedroom. Kennedy is still in bed. Willow climbs back into bed with her. Meanwhile Buffy is having a nice relaxing shower. She finishes her shower and steps out onto the mat thats just outside the shower room. She gets her towel and wipes herself down. She goes out of the shower room and finds some clothes in the cupboard.

Spike's

'Knock Knock' there is a knock at the door. Spike stands up and walks over to it hoping that its Buffy. he opens it and Clem is there.

Clem: Hey buddy

Spike: Yeah cmon lets get this bloody thing over and done with

They both exit the boiler room. They crawl through the tunnels because of Spike and the sun. They reach this crypt situated at the north side of the cemetary. They both step in. There is a demon facing the other way, dressed in a smart suit and is green.

Spike: Hey mate can we hurry this up, I need to be somewhere, you know just coz im a creature of the night doesnt mean that i dont work in the day.
Demon: Oh my god. (he turns around) Spike?

Summers home : 19.30

Dawn enters the Summers house. She walks into the kitchen and Buffy, willow, and Xander are in there having hot coco.

Dawn: Oh...Buffy hey! (she says shakingly nervous)
Buffy: hey Dawn, you have a nice time?
Dawn: Uh...yeah, sure, time, great.
Buffy: (looked at her with her eyes squinting trying to figure her out) you hungry?
Dawn: NO (she said quickly and snappily) um i mean, no im fine. ( She starts to exit the room)
Buffy: Dawn? (dawn turns around) What arnt you telling me?
Dawn: What? What do you mean?

Buffy goes into flashback mode back to when she came home from Angels just after he lost his soul and she was snappy and jumpy around her mum then!

Buffy: Dawn, a word! PLEASE!

They both exit the room.

Buffy: You had sex didnt you?
Dawn: What?
Buffy: You had sex, you lost your virginity. Who? Who did this to you?
Dawn: What do you mean i-- (she is cut off by an angry look from Buffy) Ok, its Martin.
Buffy: Who's Martin? (she thinks back) OH MY GOD! The next door neighbours son?
Dawn: yeah but hes really sw--
Buffy: So you lied to me, you didnt meet up with Maria.
Dawn: Buffy I--
Buffy: I dont want to hear it, i trust you to go out and be safe with your friends but noooo you go boinking with the next door neighbours son.
Dawn: Boinking, what in the hell is boinking?
Buffy: Dont get smart with me
Dawn: Im the same age as you were when you lost your virginity.
Buffy: Thats different.
Dawn: it always is when it's you, you never listen to me. Martins been my boyfriend for about 3 months now.
Buffy: What? Why didnt you tell me?
Dawn: i did but you never listen, all you care about is yourself and Spike, but you shouldnt worry about Spike coz hes gone and hes never coming back, and even if he had the chance he wouldnt come back to be with you anyway! (she stormed out of the room and up to her bedroom)

Buffy walks back into the kitchen.

Willow: What was that all about?
Buffy: Dawn...shes had sex.
Xander: Wow way to go Daw--(Buffy glares at him) I mean HOW COULD SHE?
Willow: Wow, I never knew that she was that close to Martin.
Buffy: Yeah I know...hold on how do you know about Martin?
Willow: Dawns been telling us about how much she loves him!
Buffy: Oh...
Willow: (can see Buffy's upset) So anyone up for the Bronze tonight?
Xander: yeah, sounds good.
Willow: Buffy?
Buffy: I think im gonna stay in.
Willow: Oh ok.
Buffy: Uh Will? Will you take Dawn with you?
Xander: I wouldnt have thought you'd want Dawn to go out after that.
Buffy: Well, as much as i hate to admit it, shes growing up!(she smiles)
Willow: Sure we'll take her. (she smiles)

Buffy exits the room and calls for Dawn up the stairs.

Buffy: DAWN!
Dawn: WHAT?
Buffy: Can you come here a moment?
Dawn: (makes her way downstairs) What?
Buffy: Do you want to go to the bronze with Xander and Willow?
Dawn: Really?(confused)
Buffy: Yeah, off you go.

Dawn runs down and gives Buffy the biggest hug she has ever given her.

Dawn: Thanks Buffy. And Im sorry what I said to you about Spike, he really did love you (she smiles) he'd come back in a flash to see you if he could.
Buffy: (smiles) Have a nice time.
