45th Slay [Video]

[Buffy flips on the video and steps away from it so that the City can see her new outfit. It's not so bad. It could be worse but all together it's a bit...well much.]

You know, I woke up this morning and decided: shopping spree. A girl needs pretty clothes to work in and date in and slay in. [She twirls a bit here.]

Dawnie, sister sponsored shopping trip if you want to come along. [Of course she'll be bossy and try to wrest you into the latest couture Dawn.]

[This is Dawn, suddenly in the doorway to Buffy's bedroom with wide eyes and curiosity that is her disbelief that her sister just said what she just said.]

Did you say sister sponsored shopping trip? Did I hear that right? Cause I've kind of been having this whole inner ear ringing thing going on for about a week and I could have totally misunderstood what you just said.

Yup. One chance only. I think both of our wardrobes could use more of this. [This is clearly illustrated by the twirl she does in the dress.]

[Alright, now she's standing up straight and bouncing lightly on her toes a few times out of pure excitement. She was gonna jump on this chance immediately cause how often did this ever happen? Never.]

Okay. Okay I'm just gonna go get a jacket and my purse and some sensible and yet still totally in style shoes. Don't leave without me! [That last bit is yelled from the hallway as Dawn is hurrying back to her room.]

No leaving without you. [She grabs a buff colored leather jacket to go with the outfit, a gold metallic hobo bag and waits patiently at the front door for Dawn.]

[Having learned not to take too long err she be left behind in the past, Dawn takes only a minute or two, still hopping down the hall and pulling a boot on at the same time as she hurries to get to the front of the building. She literally stumbles off balance right into Buffy with the last hop, pinning her sister against the door to block her own fall and simultaneously dropping her purse and her bag to the floor in the process.]

Oops. Sorry. [She winces, pulls back and stoops to pick up her jacket and to shove the contents of her purse back into her purse.]

[Buffy helps Dawn pick her stuff up and holds the door open for her.] Come on. We need to get there before everyone picks everything over.

[Okay, that gives Dawn pause even as she's hurrying out of the door and pulling on her jacket at the same time. What is this if not just a shopping trip? She knew there had to be something up cause she could almost bet that this would never happen without something being up. She arches a brow and gives her sister a sideways speculative glance as they walk.]

So what, there's like a mega-sale or something and we're gonna have to fight for all the good stuff? Cause I'm a hair puller and all I brought is a stake.

Everyone's going to want to change over their wardrobes for fall.

[She's so confused. Here she'd thought this was just a sisterly outing for shopping but it was starting to stink of curse-like qualities. Not that she's going to complain because woo-hoo new stuff. But the urgency behind Buffy's comments kind of muted the whole hey let's go on a fun shopping trip thing. Like it was something she needed to do instead of wanted to.]

And they're all doing it today, huh? It's like a run on the bank! Only -- clothing stores. Oh! You know what it's like? Those wedding gown palooza's they have where they open the gates and all the brides in waiting trample over each other to get the dresses they want. Like -- who needs more than one wedding dress, am I right?

[Sorry, Dawn. She is cursed but hopefully it will still be a fun trip.]

Exactly! Designer boots, coats and dresses are much more important.

[They can hope. But if everyone is feeling the urgency Buffy is feeling and if everyone is as worried about things being picked over before they get there, then this could be a frenzy. It's really a good thing she wore sensible shoes. Dawn digs through her purse as she talks to her sister on the way to wherever they were going.]

Yeah and you only wear that wedding dress one day before you can't anymore. I mean, you could, but people would think you had lost your marbles which no thank you. I think I can legitimately be accused of that on a regular basis and don't need any help being all weird girl from a thousand dollar white dress. Psh!

[Well, at least with Buffy around, they're going to be in front of the frenzy?]

And you know how Missus Haversham turned out. No one's ever gonna worry about you if you decide to wear a thousand dollar little black dress. In fact, they might call you Audrey Hepburn or Holly Golightly.

[Apparently Buffy has never watched one of those bridal paloozas before. On that day every girl is a Slayer. It's brutal. Dawn comes up with a hair band and begins to work her hair up into a ponytail and then twisting it into a loose bun. If there's going to be fighting and hair pulling, she wants hers out of the way.]

Strangely, I wouldn't mind being Audrey Hepburn or Holly Golightly cause -- gorgeous and not at all awkward. Plus the clothes. And the hats. Audrey could pull off an awesome hat.

[Oh she has. She just has more faith in her slaying abilities when combined with her shopping abilities.]

She really could but somehow I never really find an occasion for a hat in my life.

[Her hair tightly secured, Dawn hurried to keep up with Buffy's quick pace. She's never combined shopping with slaying but it does sound like it could be entertaining at least. She links her arm with Buffy's as they walk side-by-side and lightly bumps her sisters shoulder with hers.]

So since this is a sister outing, I think we should talk boys while slay-shopping too. How goes it with Pyro? Are you to the sex part yet? Cause we should make a system at the warehouse about code for boinking, like a sock on the door knob or something.

[Buffy slows down to match Dawn's pace. She's right there with her until Dawn asks about the sex part and then there's a gasp and some deep red blushing.]

No! I mean...no. We're just--we're just still in the dating part. Just the dating part. Besides, he's got his own apartment.

Oooh, that's gorgeous! You going out?

Thanks! I don't know. Maybe. Right now I think I need more of this in my wardrobe. it's seriously style lacking.

If you keep going at that rate you're going to have more style than people will be able to cope with!

Maybe I'll knock all the bad guys dead. [She's beaming a smile at Dulcie.] So what's your fall wardrobe plan?

For sure!

I just got this awesome coat. I won't mind it getting cold if I get to wear it.

Hmmm I don't like cold enough to wish for that but fall weather would be okay.

Fall is fun! It's all leafy.

It's the perfect weather for sweaters at night and short sleeves or light weight jackets in the day.

Lovely.

[And Charlie has found this to wear. She looks so beyond happy in it and has even taken a second to do her hair. IT's down for once. She never wears it down.]

That works for you, Buffy.

Thanks. Your outfit is super cute too. I like the skirt. [Buffy is kind of a skirt and dress girl.]

[Charlie isn't usually. However, this one called to her. She may actually wear this outfit once or twice more during the fall though probably not since this is a curse and all

Thank you. I just woke up and it needed to be worn.

Sort of how I felt about this today.

Nice dress. [ And Cameron does mean it, it is a nice dress, but there's the tiniest edge of sarcasm to it as well, because, well. It's a bit much. ]

It's couture. My wardrobe needed some variety.

There can never be enough of that.

Definitely not. My job tends to be hard on the wardrobe though.

Some clothes might be better worn in private, then.

...You look nice.

[He is so confused.]

Thanks. Do you want me and Dawn to pick something up for you while we're out shopping?

I don't think I need anything actually.

Everyone needs something. Maybe a coat or a pair of boots.

I have coats and boots.

Yes but you don't have new coats and boots.

Because I don't need them?
