[Apologies don't come easy to Buffy. She's entirely too bossy for that so when she finally speaks, her words are a little hesitant and flipped around to divert this whole apology thing]

So...the whole humiliation thing...thanks so much City. Because pulling a Xena warrior princess thing isn't enough I also have to do the Romeo and Juliet thing. Okay so not quite Romeo and Juliet because no one died and hello been, there done, that. Romeo and Juliet totally had it easy. Not that that's the point here...

~~John~~ Pyro, I'm deeply in the throes of apology at the moment. Not that the kissing was---good. I mean it was...nice and the--[her voice pitches up a good deal on the next words]really nice. [A very long, dramatic, PTB please kill me now sigh. She's pinching the bridge of her nose and it comes through in her tone] And now I'm going to stop with the speaking.

Except...Aya...I'm sorry but if you marry my sister before she turns 25 I'll beat you. It's not a you thing. It's an age thing.

Dawn...you're grounded until you're 24. [Not that she thinks that will really work.]

[Have an irate Dawn, finally blurting out what she wanted to blurt out a couple of days ago but stopped herself.]

You're not mom!

[Yeah, she's a little pissed still, and kind of embarrassed and sad that she was/isn't married to Aya. She really was happy.]

Guess I missed some stuff, huh?

No but the next best thing and you know she'd say the same thing.

[Buffy doesn't blame her for the anger or the words or even the sadness. She gets it but that doesn't change her position on things]

Not so much. Just a marriage and a re-enactment of Gladiators in Love.

...that's not so much? Our definitions seem to be a little different.

I'm not twelve, Buffy. And if you're gonna pull the mom would say or do this card then how about this one? She's not really my mom, now is she? Quit hanging her memory over my head since in my head it's just make-believe anyway. You can have your opinion but don't try to be all justify-girl cause of mom.

[And then quieter...]

Besides, it's all moot anyways cause none of it was real.

Pyro?! You kissed Johnny?

But he's so... sleazy. Like he'd set your face on fire as soon as look at you.

It was sort of sarcasm.

[There's a long bout of silence.]

So by your definition, I'm not your sister? [Her tone is cold and closed up and really angry]

Gotcha. You're all better now though?

Hey! He was--is not sleazy and clearly he didn't set my face on fire. Maybe you're the one that's sleazy.

[This is said with Buffy's trademark 'You hurt my boyfriend' tone of voice. Even though John isn't her boyfriend. Defending her not!boyfriends is a habit, okay.]

No, that's your spiel remember? You're the one who says that to me. And that's so not the point of what I was saying and you know it. It's about you bringing up what mom would want anytime you disapprove of something and the fact that I'm not a child anymore.

I'm sleazy? He's constantly pressing me for personal details. He watches every move I make, he's desperate for an excuse to arrest me. He even told me it was so he could assault me. And he sends me obscene text messages about how much he wants to see me in tights.

[This may be a slight stretch of the truth. Or a big stretch, really, but he doesn't care.]

Yup. Curse free. No gladiator outfit, romance or marriage in sight. My sister is still angry at me but I expected that.

That was so pre-tower and you know it.

No, it's about trying to do what Mom would want me to do and you're eighteen! No you're not a child anymore but you're not an adult either.

[Okay, well she doesn't know Pyro that well--she's only spoken to him once outside of a the curse--but she's still firmly in the 'defending the guy who had his tongue down my throat' camp]

Yeah that sounds like him. Who are you even?

Well, she'll get over it. Siblings do that, I've got two older sisters so I know.

[Oh, Buffy. If only Nathan could get a girl who'd defend him so easily.]

Who're you asking for, you or him?

And I've been without adult supervision for a long time and you know it. I've even had sex!

... [Insert pause, and then:] That's right, I said it. I've had sex. I run one of the biggest company's in town and sometimes I wish you'd give me sister you and not mom you. Sister you is a lot more fun and less of a debby downer... also sister you has better fashion sense... just saying...

Yeah. It's sort of what we do.

Did you get to see your sisters while you were home?

[Well she's very defensive at the moment. She'd probably defend pretty much anyone]

Seriously? He harasses you and you don't think he knows who you are?

Family is family.

Yeah, I take off for my mom's birthday every year so I did that. Had to work through Thanksgiving and Christmas. So I saw them once.

He doesn't know who I am. I've been giving him fake names.

Speaking of, it's Jon Bon Jovi.

Yes because having sex makes you all kinds of grown up.

Well guess what, you don't always get to choose which me you get and there is nothing wrong with my fashion sense. Gladiator outfit aside and it's not like I wear that all the time. You even steal out of my fashion senseless closet...hey! is that my pencil skirt?

The bad guys never sleep, huh?
