"Still supersized, eh D?" Faith asked, leaning on the railing over Dawn.
"So it would seem." Dawn answered, smiling at the sight of slayer.
"Damn cutie, what did that girl do to you?" Faith asked, grinning at the response she got from the younger girl.
"That would be amongst the questions of the moment."
"Yeah, that, and what's with the Odo like vamps that took the scythe" Faith added as she descended the staircase towards the giant girl.
"And what's up with Buffy and Satsu" Dawn said as Faith climbed onto her sat on her knee.
"What do you mean? She's Buffy's number two, a great fighter from what I hear." The older brunette pointed out.
"Oh, I thought you had heard."
"Dawn, sweetie just cause you and I have put the past behind us and are on speaking terms now, doesn't mean your sister and I are. Fuck, we nearly killed each other again last time we saw each other."
"Yeah I heard, but that's what you two do."
"I know, and I hate that." Faith sighed "She can just bring so much out of me. But we're getting away from the point. You said something's up with Buffy and Satsu?"
"They slept together." Dawn stated matter of factly.
"Buffy..she's...I mean, you're the one that wears the Birkenstocks in your family."
"I was as surprised as you. My gaydar's usually pretty good. Maybe it's cause she's my sister and I don't think of her in that way, I don't know." Dawn shrugged.
"So, are they together now or what?" Faith asked, the surprise still not having worn off.
"I don't know, we really haven't talked about it, that's why I listed it as a question of the moment."
"Who else knows?"
"Pretty much everyone. The vamps came and we all made haste to her room in our own way." Dawn said as she started counting off on her fingers. "Xander, Renee and Andrew of course were able to go in, I saw through her window, and Willow came crashing through the ceiling."
"So I'm pretty much the last one then? Glad to see nothing's changed." Faith said coldly, bringing her knees up to her neck.
"Faith, don't be like that."
"It's fine Dawn, I'm used to it. They only want ol' Faithy around when they need help" the slayer responded, sliding down off Dawn's leg and starting to pace.
"I'm not that way am I?" Dawn asked, noting how uneasy Faith seemed to be.
"No, of course not. I mean, you don't drunkenly text message me after hooking up with some random girl, and I'm not in your top friends on MySpace." The slayer smiled and turned and looked up into Dawn's large eyes.
"You would be, if you had an account. You so need a computer" the Key teased.
"Yeah, I really should get a laptop." Faith agreed, sitting on the bottom step "Just think, I could use it for all kinds of things, like learning about igneous rock formations, the Dewey Decimal System's history, what the medulla oblongata does or..who are we kidding, we both know I'd use it mostly for some good masturbation material" Faith joked.
"Yeah, and I'd only like about half of it."
"Not the least bit bi-curious Dawnie?" Faith teased.
"Girls are more than enough for me" Dawn answered thinking of the pictures she had on her own hard drive.
"Me too anymore, I'm one of the queers now. No Viagra needed in my future."
"Faith, have you seen you?" Dawn asked, looking the older woman over. "Seriously there are straight girls who are just a green beer away from wanting to go home with you, you're that hot."
"You have their numbers? I've got some ben-wa balls I've been dying to use."
"You know what I meant."
"I do. So, you're ok then? Anything you need or want? Pixie Stix? Something to drink? A few of the junior slayers to strip for you?"
"No, I'm good. Had some of that at the party we had awhile back. Was a lot of fun, having a bunch of girls in various states of dress all over me."
"I'll bet it was, sorry I missed it."
"You would have loved it. So, listen, when Willow and crew finally figure out Kendal's mojo and get me normal-sized again, you've got to make a return appearance to Boston to meet my friends. You'd love my friend Gwen, she's a mesmerizing black Irish goddess, and her girlfriend Cynn is...fiery."
"It's a date. Much as I'd love to put this off, I'm gonna go talk to your sister. I promise I won't kill her, but I make no guarantees about eating her."
"And the visuals are back" Dawn rolled her eyes as she watched Faith walk up the stairs and out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now, don't just walk away Pretending everything's ok And you don't care about me "Are you happy now?" Michelle Branch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Nice to see you made yourself at home" Buffy said as she entered her office to find Faith behind her desk with her legs up on it.
"Missed you too B." Faith smirked, not moving "What took you so long to get here, off having sushi?"
"What? No, I was just sparring with Sat...Oh you heard" Buffy sighed. "Yes, I slept with Satsu" Buffy admitted as she gave in and sat in one of the chairs on the other side of her desk.
"Your sister outed you. So, what, you're trying to further the slayer connection by boffing all the juniors?" Faith continued to smirk as she put her hands behind her head while Buffy hung hers and put her left hand on her forehead.
"I don't know why I let Xander talk me into bringing you in on this, if he wasn't off in Romania revisiting his guy time with Dracula...." Buffy muttered "There's nothing to out Faith." She said, lowering her hand and looking Faith directly in the eyes. "I'm not ashamed of what I did. Yes there's a lot of homophobia out there, but I could really care less what people I don't know think of me. Satsu was the first woman to fall in love with me" Faith snorted at that.
"And I had a bit part in the Boondock Saints" she said, lowering her feet the floor and sitting up in the blonde's chair.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Buffy questioned.
"Well for starters, I'm sure Red's had a few stray thoughts about playing with your nipples."
"I don't need to listen to this" Buffy said, getting up and heading to the door of her office "My relationship with Satsu is fine. Someone will find you when we have more idea what's going on. Till then I'll be...any place you're not."
"B, come on, don't do this, I'm sorry." Faith said, getting up and moving towards the blonde.
"What do you want Faith?" Buffy asked, standing in front of the brunette with her arms folded.
"YOU! I want you ok? I've wanted you for so long. And don't even try to tell me you've never thought of me in that way."
"There may have been a time..." Buffy tacitly admitted.
"And now?"
"You have no idea what your betrayal did to me."
"Ok, so I didn't handle the whole Finch thing so well, but why won't you ever believe me that everything after that was because the mayor brainwashed me?"
"You took to him so easily." Buffy pointed out.
"I was frightened and confused, the father figure thing got his foot in the door, then he was able to work his mojo. It's not unlike that leprechaun or whatever did to Genevieve. Every day I look at the world from my window and see the error of my ways, I'm making my amends anyway I can, everyone's forgiven me but you." Faith said, taking Buffy's hand. "I'm not saying we jump into bed together, been there, done that. Have done enough to write a girl on girl Kama Sutra." The brunette joked "All I'm asking is you give me a chance. A chance to show you how happy I can make you."
"I wouldn't be opposed to the jumping into bed part" Buffy admitted, pulling Faith to her for a deep, passionate kiss.
"Wolfram & Hart got the scythe for us!" Willow called out excitedly as she teleported into Buffy's office "Fred's gonna.." she stopped mid sentence as she watched the slayers kiss "I'll go see if I can get Elaine to Melbourne for that Storm match she wants to see" she switched topics as she teleported back out, letting the slayers have their privacy.
