>Huh?!?!

>What?

>Get your ass and your Cap’n Crunch over here right now!

>Wait up.... Ok! I am here... now what B.

>What was all that?....


>Yeah Faith... what the hell is that about?... Willow says really surprised.

>And hey... Buffy says... how come Tara is not surprised


>Guys!.. I told you I didn’t want to be involved in this.

>You knew?

>yeah hun but... 

>Didn’t you say Faith was in love with YOU???


>Aw Dawn... now I get why you ask me if I was going to kill Faith... has she pushed you to do this... I AM SO GOING TO GET HER!!!

>SHUT UP YOU ALL!!!!!... can’t you see I’ve just been rescued after being kidnapped and that I am hella happy I just got to see my family and my goddamn girlfriend.

>Yeah Dawn... but... and the offic... 

>THE OFFICER MY ASS... EVERYBODY MY ASS...

>Control that mouth!

>NO... Not anymore... not till you listen what I’ve got to say... are you going to or what?

>Ok .. I will... but don’t yell at me.. I am not deaf


>Course you’re not... Faith says laughing... if there is anything opposite to being deaf... man that is you B!


>Ok Buffy.. but listen to me

>Ok.. but say it already... that I am killing Faith anyways

>NO YOU WON’T .. YOU GET ME

>I said no yelling Dawn

>I won’t yell... if you behave according to the situation

>You... are the one who has to behave... otherwise you won’t see her again

>you can’t do that

>Yes I can... you want to try me?

>Please Buffy... you see what I mean?... I am trying to have a conversation with you.. but the only thing you do is to command me as if I were someone who has no feelings.. who has no voice nor opinion... and I am tired of this... I am tired of your treating me like I am a five year-old kid. I am fifteen now... and sometimes I am way more mature than you are.. 

>That is so not true

>Yes it is Buffy... like now for example.. so are you going to listen what I’ve got to say

>No if you don’t start.

>Listen... I am old enough to take my own decisions... and even if I don’t appear to be clever enough for you.. let me tell you I am... and I love her and I have decided to be with her... and the reason I decided not to tell you is because I knew you were going to do this.. I knew you were going to blame it all on her and that you were going to threaten with killing her and...


>Is she really killing the girl?


>Aw... officer.. well.. not really... I I... you know what I mean right?

>Not really but... ok... you are not killing anybody right miss?


>No... Buffy shakes her head


>Ok.. as I was saying.. you would say I don’t need her.. I don’t love her cause I don’t even know what love feels like... coz I am just a kid... JUST A KID.

>Ok Dawn... I’ve heard you but what is your point here?

>That I want to be with her... without having you all of the time on my back or threatening her... and asking her not to see me no more... 

>How did you know I was going to do that?


>You are so predictable sometimes B!


>Yeah you are Buffy...

>hey I am doing this because I love you and I want you safe

>If you really love me Buffy ... you will understand I have found love. That for the first time ever in my life that yeah.. I know it’s real short... but I have found love... I know you don’t understand why in her.. in Faith.. I know ... I mean don’t offense baby...

>Nah.. go ahead.

>ok but... I know you say she is not responsible and some other stuff even that her attitude can affect me or anything.. but she loves me.. and I love her.... and even if you don’t like it... you ought to accept it and live with it.

>Bu.. we.. I... well... ok... but still Dawn... I have to talk some things with Faith.

>ok.

>Faith... we need to talk... come outside with me...


>OK B!.. you’ve barked.




>B!... We’re far enough.. we’ve walked for three blocks already... they won’t listen... not even if they had our slayer hearing.

>Ok ok!!...

>When are you going to kick my ass?

>I am not

>WHAT?!?!?!...B! that is a first one...

>I am only warning you.. and threatening you.... but won’t physically harm you... NOT YET!

>OK B!... I am all ears.

>First... WHY MY BABY SISTER?

>B!.. it is not like I had a bunch of names and I picked her at random... I fell for her... she is so wonderful... but you don’t see it... she is amazing B.

>Well,.. yeah you are right... I don’t see it... but... WHY HER??... Why not Tara?... why not me?

>You????... WHAT?!?!?!

>Never mind.

>Ok!... I’ll take your word.

>I mean.. I don’t want her to get hurt

>She won’t

>What guarantees me that

>I DO!

>You can’t ... you play with people Faith

>Not with her... I love her

>You don’t know what love feels like...

>Yeah I do.. and even if I didn’t.... since as you say... she doesn’t either... we can live happily and can even invent a name to label this thing we feel towards each other... and according to you has nothing to do with love.

>I didn’t say that

>You so did.

>How do I know she won’t get hurt.

>YOU WON’T ... none of the words I say to you right now or at any moment will give you the guarantee she won’t end up hurt.. I won’t lie to you.. the last thing I want is to hurt her... and I won’t .... but you have to rely on me.. on my feelings towards her... if you don’t want her hurt... then don’t ask me to stay away from her.. coz that way you are hurting her more than I could ever be able to... don’t keep her from growing up... I love your sister Buffy.. I do.. I swear.. don’t take her away from me... don’t .. ever... the only way I am letting go of her.. is if she HERSELF asks me to do so... otherwise I am staying beside her... on bad and on good times.

>You really mean everything you’ve just said?

>With my heart, life and soul Buffy.

>But... if I know you’re treating her bad.

>I WON’T!

>ok... Faith... but promise ...

>I swear B!

>Oh... one more thing... don’t get too physical with her...

>B!!!!

>Faith!

>Ok OK!!... I was just kidding.

>hey... does she know how to kiss?

>B!

>I am sorry I am curious...

>why don’t you kiss her then

>EW! Faith you are so disgusting.

>I am kidding B!....

>So.. does she.

>Yeah she does... 

>Hey.. I think she needs to go out to forget what happened today... would you like to go out with her...

>Jeez... that sounded weird .. but yeah I do..

>In fact... I was going to take her somewhere... anywhere... she would like me too... but I am asking you to go with us... 

>who is us?

>The scoobies and her and you.

>Sure I will...

>ask her where would she like to go.

>Oky... so anything else...

>Yeah for Christ’s sake.... stop her from saying she’s five by five... and all the Faithy things...

>Why... if I am so adorable... Faith says pouting.

>Yeah right... but anyways... I don’t want a fifteen-year-old Faith as my sister.

>Oky you’ve barked

>HEY!... I am not a dog!

>what?.... why you said that?

>Cause you said .. that I’ve barked...

>um... ok... Hey B!... there the officer... he’s coming here


>Miss Summers?

>Yeah?

>Justin’s parents are home so is his brother... and we’d like you to be present there while we talk to them and Dawn.

>Ok!.. I’ll be there in a couple of minutes

>Ok!


>Faith.. one last thing

>I know... I won’t tell Dawn about this...

>What??

>You were going to say that

>I know... but how did you..?

>You predictable B!

>Ok OK... Let’s move.





They entered the house and as they stepped inside they could hear Justin’s mother crying and his father complaining and yelling at Chris.


>Hm... Officer did you want me to be here?

>Yes Miss Summers, have a sit?


>Ok Miss Summers... The other officer says as looking at Dawn... Justin’s mother is asking you to drop the charges... are you willing to?

>For both of them?


>Yes sweetie... they don’t hurt anyone.

>Oh yeah?

>Yes.

>Officer now that I remember... well.... I am sure it was all Chris’ idea.. he even suggested Justin to rape me.


>Officer he wouldn’t do that.. why you believe a child


>HEY!!!... My sister is not a child.


>Ok! All of you calm down... Dawn... are you saying it was all Chris’ idea???

>Yes Officer...

>Is that true Justin?


>I... I... Me.... I mean.. ... I ... I ... I am sorry Chris I can’t... YES!! It was all his idea... I just came crying because nothing that I do... seems to make Dawn want me back.. and he said we should kidnap her and that way she would want to be with me... and believe me... I didn’t want to... but he somehow convinced me..... and all I want is a chance to be with her... besides... he

>NO Justin!... DON’T...

>Besides officer I am not even his brother... she is not my mom, and he is not my dad...

>then?

>I have been taken away from my Mother and Father... and this guys here pushed my mother to sign an adoption paper because my parents couldn’t afford to give me an education.

>Jeez... we have a situation here.


>Ok!... I drop Justin’s charges...


>Thanks Dawn...


>Don’t get too excited young fellow.. you’ll have to attend to a psychologist in order to make you harder to manipulate... and well about Chris.... we need to talk that in private... would you mind leaving the house Justin?... do you have a place to go?

>I have a Date with Dawn


>WHAT?!?!?!... Faith says choking

>Faith.... again with that Cap’n Crunch???? 

>C’mon B!... it is really good... want some?

>EW!... you just spit it all in the plate... 

>But my saliva is tasty!.... Faith says Pouting.


>EW!... they all said together, including the officers...


>But ok Justin... we don’t think is convenient for you to go out with Dawn.



>Fuck!... Faith says suddenly aloud...

>Huh?? Buffy says

>Um... nothing...

>D!... can we talk in private

>Sure... just a sec officers.



They went to the bathroom so they could talk without Buffy eavesdroping on them.


>What is it baby?... you scared me

>Well... someone call from your school... and I said Red had called so Buffy didn’t ground you... I didn’t know you had been kidnapped... you should have called

>yeah... like I could

>Well yeah you got a point... but the thing is... that I need to erase that message... otherwise B’ll get mad at me for covering you... and we don’t want her mad, do we?

>Yeah... but what can we do...

>I don't know... call... and erase them.. you know the code right

>Oh that.. ok.. get me a phone

>WHERE?

>and wait..... then how do I ask Buffy to justify me?... she’ll realize you deleted the message

>No... I’ll call for her... just erase it please babe...

>Ok... I’ll go to the kitchen and pretend i am taking some water... and I’ll call...

>you want me to go with you?

>NO... go with Buffy

>ok!


*Door Slam*



Faith enters the room where still the officers are talking to Buffy and to Justin’s parents.


>Ok!.. Dawn can go now, thanks for your help.

>Thank you officer


>WHAT?!?.. no, she can’t go... not right now!


>Huh!?... Buffy and the officer said.

>I mean... I... I.. lost my glasses... I have to look for them

>Faith!.. you don’t wear glasses...


Dawn enters the room


>I... I... Faith said as she realizes Dawn was done deleting the messages... I... Woops.. you right.. I don’t !.. Oky let’s go then


>What the?... Buffy says... anyways... yes I want to go too... Thanks officers... good afternoon.



*Door Slam*



>Finally out of there.. Dawn says hugging Faith.. but soon realizes Buffy was there.. so she backed away slowly.

>Hey... you can do that... only ... I don’t want to see too much of your love demonstrations.

>Ok... Dawn says as she hugs Faith again.

------ * ------

They had gotten back home and Buffy didn’t even remember about the phone message they were talking about a couple of hours before.


>Dawn... we’re going out with the scoobies...and where wou...

>Man.. not even today... you can’t stay with me right?? And you have to take Faith with you???.. why are you like that Buffy?.... Dawn says upset as she puts her hands in her waist.


>No baby.. you are misunderstanding this...

>Then how it is

>We’re all going out.

>Faith I got that well!

>I meant all of we.. all... including you?

>Really?... She says curling a little smile... Buffy wants to go out with me... that is a first one.


>Dawnie... I am sorry but sometimes I get all paranoid... and you know.. 

>ok!... so we’re going out...


>B!... I want to take a shower... you know.. training... sweat... 

>Yeah me too..

>So what time do I come back?

>at 8:00 is fine...

>Um... can... can... and don’t get mad.. it is fine if you say no.. but.. can I take Dawn with me?

>Ask her.. not me

>You fine with it?.. I mean... you don’t mind????

>Well... you see.. I am not that predictable...

>Well... yeah that was pretty surprising... so Baby?.. want to come with me?


>HEY!... you offend me.. you already know the answer to that!

>Ok... so see you B!

>Ok... and Dawn..


>I won’t Buffy... 

>But.. how did you know what I was going to say...

>I just knew... and don’t worry.. I won’t .. I promise.

>ok... Bye!




*Door Slam*







>Hey Baby?

>Yeah?

>Where do you want to go?

>I thought we were going out with Buffy

>We are

>Then?

>She wants you to choose the place.

>Really?

>Yeah... 

>There is this place... all my friends talk about it.. it never called my attention... but... now it kind of does.

>Where is it... what is it.

>It is kind of a karaoke, course no liquor.. 

>Awww... Faith says pouting.

>Babe you are so cute


Faith gets closer, hugs the girl and kisses her.. she bites her bottom lip... kisses her neck and holds her hand while they walk.


>ok.. so as I was saying.. it is kind of cool

>You want to go there?

>I mean if you don’t want it is ok... really

>I do... wherever baby... 

>really?

>Really.

>I love you Faith...

>I love you more.

>Nah.. I love you more

>Nope... you wrong.. I love you more.. but ok ok... This fight is worthless... you know I’ll always win.

>Not even today??

>Ok my pumpkin.... always.. you win... 

>I love you

>I love you too... Oky!... we are home... Faith smiles.


*Door Opens*


>Faith?

>babe?

>Can I sleep in your bed for a while?

>Course you can

>oky.. 

>I am taking a shower ok?

>ok... Dawn says as she lays on the bed and quickly falls asleep


<Damn Dawn.. you’ve got me.. I love you>



Faith goes to the bathroom, takes her shower, finishes, dries her hair and spends a couple of minutes watching her girlfriend sleep. Until she decides to write a note for her.


>Ok!.. I need paper...




To Dawn:


Baby... There is something I would like to say to you.. You are like the best thing that has happened to me since walking... and that is probably coz I needed of walking to get over to you. 

You showed me love in a way I have never seen before and Damn. I am never going to stop loving you... you are the most wonderful thing in the world.

I love you baby.

Forever Yours: 


Faith!!! 







<7:40... I better wake her up>


>Dawn... baby?... 

>Hm...? She says still asleep

>It’s time to go.

>I want to sleep... come sleep with me

>C’mon Baby... B is waiting for us

>Alright!... She says yawning

>Hey you know what?... Faith says as she sees her girlfriend washing her face in the bathroom

>Um..?

>You look real cute when you are sleeping.

>No I don’t... Dawn blushes

>Yeah you do baby... you look adorable.

>Oh shut up... Dawn says approaching her girlfriend and hugging her by her waist.

>Shut me up

>You asked me!


Dawn kisses Faith real soft, but real passionate too.

------- * ------

*Door Opens*


>Ok Guys they’re here.. let’s go

>We’re going

>OK... Hey you!

>Hey Buffy!

>You know where you want to go?

>Yup, I told Faith...

>ok..


>Ok!... we’re ready.

>Ok...




*Door Slam*

------- * ------

>Hey Dawnie... Nice place

>Really?

>Yup...

>So who is going to sing?

>Don't know really... I mean... I came here coz I felt like it.. so let’s eat.

>ok!



After thirty minutes they were finishing their dinner.


>Excuse me a minute please...

>Where are you going Dawnie?

>Somewhere.. don’t be a gossip.



After three minutes Dawn hadn’t came back yet and Faith was starting to worry about her.


>Where is Dawn?

>I don't know... Buffy says...

>There.. Tara said pointing at the stage.


>WHAT?!?!?!? They said all in unison.





>Um.... hey!... I... I am Dawn.... and well... I am shy enough not to do this... since a lot of people are going to make fun of me at school... but I don’t care because today... while eating... I suddenly felt like doing this... so ok... no more blabbing and this goes out to Faith… and I know.. probably you don’t like this song coz it is real old… but still listen to it… and well that is exactly how I feel about you…




If I had to live my life without you near me 
The days would all be empty 
The nights would seem so long 
With you I see forever oh so clearly 
I might have been in love before 
But it never felt this strong 

Our dreams are young 
And we both know they'll take us 
Where we want to go 

Hold me now 
Touch me now 
I don't want to live without you 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
The world may change my whole life through 
But nothing's gonna change my love for you 

If the road ahead is not so easy, 
Our love will lead the way for us 
Like a guiding star 
I'll be there for you if you should need me 
You don't have to change a thing 
I love you just the way you are 
So come with me and share the view 
I'll help you see forever too 

Hold me now 
Touch me now 
I don't want to live without you 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
The world may change my whole life through 
But nothing's gonna change my love for you 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
The world may change my whole life through 
But nothing's gonna change my love for you 

Nothing's gonna change my love for you 
You ought know by now how much I love you 
One thing you can be sure of 
I'll never ask for more than your love 






Dawn goes out of stage and goes back to the table where she had been sitting before going to sing.


>Before you say nothing!.... this was for Faith... and I don’t care if you are going to make fun of me

>We are not going to make fun of you Dawnie.

>Ok... just in case


>Hey Baby... Thanks... for reals... I.. I... Love you too.. and she kisses passionately her girl.

>I love you

>I love you too... There is something I wanted to give you ... 

>What is it?

>Here.


And Faith hands Dawn a little purple envelope with her name on it


>Open it!

>Ok!



To Dawn:


Baby... There is something I would like to say to you.. You are like the best thing that has happened to me since walking... and that is probably coz I needed of walking to get over to you. 

You showed me love in a way I have never seen before and Damn. I am never gonna stop loving you... you are the most wonderful thing in the world.

I love you baby.

Forever Yours: 


Faith!!! 







>Ok... Love is in the air.. I get it... but... ok... where did I miss it all?

>XANDER!!!!... They all said in unison.

>WHAT?!?..... He said innocently





End!
