Xander Harris went home

[Anyone who lives in the warehouse or comes by will find Buffy wailing on a punching bag]

Except here if you die you supposedly come right back to life. Right now I'm seeing more pros to here and cons to home.

[Plus here she doesn't have to compete with a million slayer-ettes for anyone's attention. Well, now there's just her sister really. Spike, she doesn't really need the attention of and Faith probably couldn't care less one way or the other about her. So really, she just didn't have to compete for Buffy's attention. And now she's worried about Xander being back in the midst of whatever was coming at them back in their world.]

So now you don't want to leave?

[She puts her hands on the punching bag, just standing like that while they talk.]

Everyone we love is there except for me and you and Spike.

[She's not going to mention Eliot or the people they've met here that they care about]

[Dawn looks to her sister, her hands still resting on the other side of the bag. She takes a few moments to consider that and realizes she should probably want to go home. And maybe part of her does so they can all save the world again. But here, there are Deties controlling them, so maybe...]

I don't know, it's confusing. Pros and cons to both sides, you know?

Yeah. This place doesn't make anything simple. [She sighs and smooths her hands back over her hair.]

So are we gonna be okay?

[It's a serious question, one she's asked Buffy many times when she truly wasn't sure whether they would be or not. And she's staring into Buffy's eyes right now looking for her sister to tell her that yes, they will be okay, the Summers girls will come out on top still... or at least alive and for the most part emotionally unscathed. She wants the happiest ending you can come up with, Buffy.]

We're always okay, Dawnie. We're Summers girls.

[Her fingers curl and squeeze the punching bag before she nods and a smile spreads over her lips.]

Yeah, we are.

Ice cream and ice skating movies?

Sounds like a perfect Summers therapy night to me.

Me too. I'm going to shower and change into PJ's. Meet you back here.
