When the cellphone rang a very agitated Faith sat up and reached over to grab it. When she looked at the caller ID she decided it could have been worse so she picked it up adamantly. "Hello?" her voice was full of annoyance and she huffed a sigh at what she was hearing from the other end "They were doing what?" Faith was a little more alert now, listening intently at the voices coming through the other end "Yeah we'll be there soon ... i'ts none of your damn business where we were ... yeah ... uh-huh, see you soon" Faith rolled her eyes and threw the phone down onto one of the bedside tables before turning around to see a very awake and alert Dawn starring at her.

"What was that all about?" Dawn asked in a half serious half asleep tone

"Vi and Amanda set your kitchen on fire, said its went up like... kaplooie?" Faith shrugged her shoulders and waited for the response. What she didn't expect was to see the teenager jump from the bed still nude and having about ten conniptions.

"Buffy is gonna kill me! She pays the rent at that place!" Dawn was frantically pulling on her pants and sliding the shirt over her head, picking up the recently discarded cellphone and stashing it into her pocket.

"I was kidding" Faith was in a fit of laughter by this point, but it was knocked almost out of her when a hurling shoe came at her head. With a mock-serious look upon her face her jaw dropped looking at the angry teen. "What was that for?!"

"Your an ass Faith, I practically had a heart attack just then" Dawn huffed heavily and sat back on the bed with her head in her hands and her back towards Faith.

With an almost pouting look upon her face Faith crawled across the bed to sit behind her, propping her head on Dawn's before speaking lowly "Sorry."

Dawn let out an annoyed sigh and shrugged "So what did they really want?"

"Amanda broke her wrist" Faith said simply as she allowed herself to get down from the bed and pull on her discarded clothes.

"How did she manage that?" Dawn asked softly as she slipped on her shoes and fixed her hair - or put it up on a quick pony rather.

"Uh.. they said something about wrestling"

Dawn raised her brow and looked at Faith skeptically "Wrestling?" she asked slowly to make sure she had heard right. 'slayers were wrestling and they broke a bone? they barely break bones fighting the forces of darkness' she thinks to herself

Faith wagged her eyebrows suggestivly and gives a wicked grin "Yeah, unless you think they broke it doing something else" Faith turned her glance towards the bed and let them rise and fall a few times.

Dawns mouth fell open and her eyes got around five times their normal size before she was able to speak "Eww, Faith not what i was thinking! God you and your thoughts are going to corrupt my mind" Dawn let herself stand from the bed and she shook her head walking towards the door.

"Oh, I'm aiming to corrupt a whole lot more than that" With one last flash of her trademark grin Faith stood up from the bed and walked herself towards the door, leading Dawn outside and locking up.

-----------------

The car ride to Dawn's place was filled with mindless chatter about the pacing cars, mostly making fun of the way people would look over at them. A few times Faith would make a show out of it at a stop light and lean over to give Dawn a kiss, or suck on her earlobe. Anything to make the men's eyes bulge out of their skull. Dawn couldn't stop laughing at the way people would react. Most of the older citizens would turn their nose in the air and look the other way in disgust. While the younger generation of men seemed as if the would throw ones in the air to see a little more. The younger females were a mixed variety, some would cheer them on with something that sounded like 'whoo you go girl' and others would roll their eyes and look the other way.

None the less the ride over was filled with joyous laughter and for Dawn she was thankful for it. It had been a long while before she was able to laugh like that. With Buffy gone and never around Dawn had to get used to living on her own, and well being alone. She'd laughed more in the last two days since the girls and Faith got here than she had in a good long while.

When they did finally arrive Dawn let herself rush into the house, Faith close behind her laughter still echoing from their throats when they entered the glorious looking apartment. The laughter seemed to simmer down when they saw Amanda sitting with her wrist ice packed down and both Vi and Rhona watching her very closely. "Hey guys" Dawn spoke out and she walked closer, taking Amanda's arm, much against the girls liking, and bending it this way and that. "Hey, Vi go to the kitchen and get the phone. Press speeddial 3 and wait until it gets answered, ask for Rachel and tell her your with me. Tell her what happened and see what she suggests"

With a head nod 'yes' and Vi scurrying to do so Dawn put Amanda's arm back down walking back to where Faith leaned against the wall a good ways away "Is it broke?" Faith asked and Dawn shrugged looking a little unsure of herself "It's swollen which is good indication that it's broke. But the way the bone seems to be broken leads me back towards the whole 'wrestling?' doubt." Dawn shook her head a moment and looked back at the girls. They seemed to be in their own conversations all except for Vi whom was still holding the phone to her ear and answering a lot of 'yes, no' questions. Bringing her gaze back to Faith, Dawn started again "As possible that it is that this was broken Wrestling, given the height and approximate weight of either of them... it wouldn't break like that. Something much more powerful than any one of them - not saying that their slayer strength isn't at it's best - ... it just doesn't seem to me that their telling the truth about how they broke it."

Faith listened to Dawn's words but was having a bit of a hard time understanding exactly what was being said "You think they lied?" Her voice matched Dawns hushed tone Dawn merely shrugged in response. Faith looked back at the girls and cocked her head to the side, put aside the broken wrist which Amanda sported, Vi seemed to have a problem standing up straight, a limp in her walk if you looked close enough and Rhona seemed to be clutching her own arm quite a bit.

Faith gave a skeptical look before she approached the girls, her face tilted to the side and she eyed them. "So you wanna tell me what really happened?" All three girls, Vi still on the phone but their attention had drifted to halting stop on Faith's face. And Rhona began to speak ...
