Hearing the alarm go off both Buffy and Spike get up at the same time. Spike heads down the steps to start making breakfast for his favorite girls.
"Now what should I make for breakfast. Not pancakes that is for sure. Tara isn't a fan. I know eggs. The question is what kind. Scrambled, over-easy, over-medium, over-hard, sunny-side up, poached. Something they would all like. Perfect omelets. Four stoves, four omelets. Got it. The perfect breakfast for my girls. Omelets, hash browns, bacon and toast. Milk and orange juice with the fruit bowl in the middle of the table." Spike thinks.
While Spike is cooking and Buffy getting ready for work Dawn heads to Taras' room who is finishing up some last minute work on her paper.
"Tara can I talk to you" asks Dawn
"Sure sweetie what is it."
"You can do magic right like Willow right."
"Yeah why."
"I was wondering if you can teach me how."
"Why."
"Well if I am the key what if I can also do magic."
"And if you can't."
"I can believe please."
"There is a way to tell if you can do magic."
"How." asks Dawn
"Tell me how do you feel right now."
"Trapped."
"What kind of trapped."
"I feel like something has to be released."
"You want to know something."
"What."asks Dawn
"You are able to do magic because I can see it in your aura and I was gonna ask Buffy if I can start training you."
"Really." asks Dawn happily
"Yes."
"What will you teach me first." asks Dawn
"Can you teach her the laws and consequences of magic first." asks Buffy who overheard the conversation. Dawn just looks at Buffy shocked.
"Yeah I can do that."
"Now Dawn I am going to allow Tara to train, but you can not abuse this power. However there are rules you will follow."
"Okay what are they."
"One you have to keep your grades above a B because I know you are smart enough."
"Done."
"Two you have to follow your curfew. Home by eight on school nights and bedtime at ten. On Fridays and Saturdays home by ten and your allowed to stay at a friends house over-night."
"Fine."
"You will start taking self-defense lessons from me and Spike every Friday."
"Alright, but Spikes already been teaching me stuff."
"Figured he would that is why we are gonna continue where he left off."
"Is that all." asks Dawn
"Yes for now."
"YOU THREE BETTER GET DOWN HERE NOW AND EAT YOUR SODDIN BREAKFAST I JUST COOKED." yells Spike
"He could of just said breakfast is ready." says Dawn
"You know Spike is. He still likes to act like the big bad." says Tara
"Even though he does domestic stuff for us." replies Buffy
Spike watches as his three girls sit at the table that already has milk, orange juice on the table with a bowl of fruit in the middle.
"For Nibblet I have made you a sausage omelet with hash browns and bacon with sourdough toast." Spike says as he hands her her plate
"Thank you Spike. How did you know I like sourdough toast."
"That is a trade secret Nibblet."
Dawn laughs
"For Glinda we have a Spinach omelet with cheese hash browns and bacon with wheat toast."
"Thank you Spike." Tara says with a smile
"Now for Slayer I have made you a CBS omelet with hash browns and bacon with white toast."
"What does CBS stand for." asks Buffy.
"Cheese, bacon and sausage."
"Thank you Spike."
"What did you make for yourself." asks Dawn
"BCBS omelet with bacon and hash browns and rye toast."
"What does BCBS stand for." asks Dawn
"Bacon, cheese, blood and sausage."
"Ewwww." replies Dawn
"What I'm a vampire."
The four continue to eat and chat. Buffy telling Spike about Dawns training. Spike agrees with it, but he also tells Buffy that he would like to train her more also. They also continue to talk about what they are gonna do for the day.
ENGLAND
Xander and Willow have been watching them all have a good time. They don't like the fact that Spike is always with them and becoming some kind of a family to them.
"I am getting sick of this when are you going to do it." asks Xander
"I'll do it soon, but not yet."
"Should we tell Angel or Giles."
"Do you really want to tell Angel."
"Not really."
"Then no we shouldn't tell them."
"I just want to get this over with."
"Xander patience is a virtue. You just need to hold on."
