Nineteen – Collateral Damage
Dawn coughed and waved away the smoke billowing all around them.
Then she saw her sister kneeling barefoot in the middle of a smoking crater, looking very singed and sobbing loudly.
"Buffy!"
Dawn gasped in alarm and rushed to her side.
"Oh God! Are you hurt?"
"….noooo…" Buffy sniffled then lifted two black gloopy lumps in her hands.
"…these were my Jimmy Choo suede shoes. " Buffy whimpered mournfully. "And the blast MELTED theeeem!"
"At least it wasn't Christian Louboutin Babel leather boots like these!" Xander said, waving a shredded Bot leg.
"WAAAAAHHHHHH!!" wailed Buffy.
Dawn sighed.
"Xander? Stop helping."
