Chapter one

I'm kinda feelin you right now
You keep me standin tight now
It's gettin hard to fight now
Still I wonder when should I

When Dawn woke up the next morning she actually ventured out of her room. She went into the kitchen and was pouring herself a bowl of cereal when she noticed that the potentials were training in the back yard. As she watched Kennedy lead them in different excercises she couldn't help but wonder what had happaned last night between her and Kennedy. She had never kissed a girl before and she couldn't help but think that she might have even liked it. That didn't mean she was gay, though she had nothing against Willow. But Kennedy was the only girl that Dawn had ever found herself liking in that sort of way.She wondered if Willow was around so she could ask her. It was as if her prayers were answered as Willow walked into the kitchen a minute later.

"Morning Dawnie," Willow said.

"Morning," Dawn said, "Willow I need to talk to you about something."

Willow was preparing herself a cup of coffee at the island table when Dawn came over to her so that no one else overheard her. She didn't want anyone else to know about the confusing things that she was going through then. She knew they had other htings to worry about besides her crisis with Kennedy and her kiss.

"Sure," Willow replied, "What can I help you with?"

Dawn didn't know how to explain what had happened with Kennedy. So she started from the beginning when Kennedy first entered her room and ended her story with the kiss. She even told her about how she had felt something, but she wasn't quite sure what it was because she had never felt that way about anyone before. It didn't matter that Kennedy was a girl. She had kissed plenty of boys, okay three, but she had never felt the way she had felt when Kennedy kissed her.

"What should I do Willow?" Dawn asked.

"You ever think that she's feeling the same way?" Willow asked, "So next time you get her alone again why don't you try kissing her?"

Dawn nodded. She could try that, but she was afraid that if it really was nothing and she kissed Kennedy that she would ruin the friendship that she shared with the girl. Dawn was never one for taking chances. But this time she was going to make an exception. Kennedy had her feeling things that she never thought she would feel. She couldn't just sit back and not act on them.

"Thanks Will," Dawn said with a small smile.

"I'm glad I could help," Willow said happily, "At least that's one problem I can solve. Would you mind helping me do a little research?"

Dawn nodded and followed Willow into the dining room where books were spread across the table. Willow told her what to look for and while Willow set herself up at her laptop Dawn began to look through the various books on the table. Her 

mind was only half on the research set before her. The other part of her was thinking about how she could get Kennedy alone and how she would make her move. She had no idea that Kennedy was thinking the same thing.

Kennedy had just finished up her morning training session with Faith when they were given a break while they wait for Buffy to come back from the store with Xander. Kennedy had been so busy that morning thatt she hadn't had time to think about the kiss she had shared with Dawn. Maybe that was a good thing because suddenly she started obsessing over it and what she should do now. Did Dawn now think she was disgusting because she had kissed her or did she think it was great and wanted her to do it again? She didn't want to jepordize the friendship she had created with the younger Summers girl, but she knew she couldn't just sit back while she felt so strongly about the young girl. She knew from the moment she met Dawn that there was something she felt for her. That was why she went out of he way during her free time to talk to Dawn while the rest of the potentials usually stayed clear. While the rest of the potentials flooded into the house to get something to eat or grab a few extra minutes of sleep Kennedy went over to Faith who was smoking a ciggerette under the tree.

"Can I ask you something?" Kennedy asked Faith.

"Sure," Faith replied, "What's up?"

Kennedy explained her problem leaving out the fact that Dawn was who she was talking about. She wasn't ready to make it common knowledge that she had a thing for Buffy's little sister. She watched as Faith took a long drag of her ciggerette as she thought about her response to Kennedy's problem.

"I think your talking to the wrong slayer on this one," Faith replied a moment later.

Even though she knew Faith was right it was as if she could just walk up to Buffy and tell her she had kissed her sister and ask what she could do about it. That was the same reason why she couldn't ask any of the other scoobies. She knew they were probally all very protective of Dawn. But Faith was a different story. Faith had just come back into the picture and even Kennedy could see that things were still a little uneasy with her and Buffy.

"It's not something I can actually ask Buffy," Kennedy admitted.

Kennedy watched as Faith thought about it. Then Faith's eyes widened a little bit as she realized why Kennedy couldn't go to the older slayer for help. She dropped her ciggerette on the ground and put it out with the heel of her foot. Faith thought back to every time she had seen Kennedy and Dawn interact. She soon realized that Kennedy was the only person Dawn seemed to be talking to the last week or two. She wondered if it had to do with the war and how everyone was on high alert with not much time to spare for her. Or was it because she was really interested in Kennedy as well.

"I say you kiss her again and see what happens?" Faith told her, "I know Dawn and even if she doesn't feel the same way, which I think she does, she's not going to cut you out just because of that."

Kennedy nodded taking in what Faith had told her. She then decided next time she got Dawn alone she was going to go for it. She just hoped Faith was right and that if Dawn really didn't feel the same way then she wouldn't hate her. Though she really hoped that Faith was right and that Dawn really did have feelings for her as well.
