Joyce threw her the tired version of the mom look. "You had a hard fight there. You need to rest. Now come on."
Buffy didn't want to argue further. There was enough room between Dawn and the edge of the bed to settle down comfortably, and Buffy was able to reach over and take her mother's hand while holding on to her sister. Joyce was asleep in moments.
"Don't steal the pillow," Dawn muttered, half-asleep.
"OK." Buffy brushed Dawn's hair back and blinked back tears. "You're still here." Dawn stiffened just a little. "No Key goes poof. I guess we're stuck with you."
"Sorry," Dawn whispered.
Buffy kissed the top of her head. "Guess we'll just have to deal. Oh, well."
"Yeah."
fine, the one typo I missed between posting here and in my LJ. It's fixed in the main file, neener.
Only one typo in something that long is quite good. Last week, I caught three in a 100-word drabble after I'd posted it. Luckily, pretty much before anyone else had time to read it.
Now I want someone to write about an acidnet. Some sort of trap for a demon, possibly.
connie, I left feedback in LJ, but I'll repeat. Love. it. It is now my default for the season, rather than ME's.
Wrod.

Oooh, erika, you are sooo bad. But good! In a completely badass way.
Thank you! Giving us presents on your birthday!
I got to have the dream...that was nice.
And was that Mrs. F's name...I think so. Lewis is married to Barbara. Frank's wife is Mary(easy with the whole Catholic thing)
Munch is always with women with hideous names...from Felicia to Billie Lou(Yikes!)
Mrs. Bolander is Marge.
Plei has another prezzie in my livejournal....
