Chapter 76

Dawn tried to be there for her big sister. Dawn and Buffy didn't get along, but Buffy had saved Dawn from an insane serial killer. Buffy now spent much of her time with the school librarian. She said she needed extra help with studying, and their mother gave her permission. But spending the weekend with a teacher still seemed weird to Dawn. On the plus side Buffy had quit smoking, that would definitely be good for everyone's health. Unfortunately their mother had recently bought a gun. She made it very clear to her daughters that they were never to touch it. But having a gun in the house made Dawn nervous, slightly more nervous than the two serial killers, since they were already dead. But there had been one really good thing that came out of all this, Steven. When that lunatic tried killing her Steven threw himself on her. When danger presented itself his first instinct was to protect Dawn, not himself. Steven asked Dawn to the homecoming dance next week and she hadn't hesitated before saying yes. Dawn was going to her first highschool dance with the most wonderful guy in the world.
