I know! *gasp* *shock* I'm such a girl. Honestly as much as he loves the Yankees, I'm more betting for it being splashed across the jumbo tron at a game than anything.

Really though, I'm not sure he's a marrying kind of guy. He did mention in a meme something about Las Vegas once but that was the actual wedding, not the proposal.

So long as it's not going to be in a chapel with "Elvis Presley". Vegas weddings are pretty much jinxed.

I know the day I ever propose to someone will be the day... you'd have to talk me out of it. Promise?

Since I don't plan on doing a wedding or the Vegas thing, I'm not worried.

*grin* Alright. I'll talk you out of it. Unless I've met the girl, I like her and I approve whole heartedly. Then there might be more making certain you know what you're doing and less actual talking you out of it. and if I ever get married, do the best friend thing and threaten to burn someone alive if they hurt me. Just because I think it'd be awesome.

Sure thing. I'd be more than glad to display some awesome fire power skills that'll have them peeing in their pants.

It can be part of the engagement party. We'll roast hot dogs and make smores afterwards.

Now you're just making fun of my awesome power.

I am totally not making fun. I am point out how awesome it is. You are a weinee and smores roast all by yourself. That is friggin' awesome. I know if I had your power that's absolutely what I'd use it for. Which is probably why I don't.

Hn. It does have its practical uses. Like you know when you need to warm up a cup of coffee or a bowl of noodles. And yeah, roasting stuff. Also, pyrotechnics. Huh. Guess I am useful for weddings and campfires. Maybe I should start a little side business. For barbecues and pyrotechnics with a personal touch, call...

LOL somehow I can't see you in the party service business but hey if the whole mutant revolution thing gets resolved, you've got a career choice.

Please just do me a favor and stake me in the heart if and when that happens. Or if and when I even consider doing that. Or if and when I mention it again.

Aye Aye. One stake right to the heart. You could start a demolitions company. Much cooler.

You're good with the ideas. I'll have to seek advice from you for now on.

I was actually a counselor at Sunnydale the year it was cratered. I'm not certified but the principal knew abut lions and bears and tigers. Oh My! He wanted someone there for the kids that knew how to deal with weird stuff.

Was there a sinister motive behind that? You being counselor at Sunnydale?

Not really sinister. The high school was built over a Hellmouth, it was certain things were going to get a little weird. I think I was more security team than counselor but counselor sounds better to the parents.

Did it piss you off that you never managed to go to college and do the normal stuff kids do after high school because of slayer issues?

I actually went to like a year of college. It used to make me all emo girl. Career day was awful because I know what I'm going to be doing for the rest of my life and it's not having an actual career. It's jobs that pay crap that barely support me because that's what I'm qualified for. I'm good with it now but yeah...for a while it was kind of...very chip on the shoulder me. Sometimes, it still is.

You? Because I'm assuming being able to control fire kind of put a damper on the normal kids things.

What about now? Do you feel like going back to school, now that the whole slayer thing has practically turned into a sort of franchise?

I didn't finish high school as I left to join the Brotherhood when I was 17. But Magneto faked one of those high school certificate stuff for me and I took my SAT when I was 18. Then I studied law but it was difficult what with being in the Brotherhood. I was mostly absent and instead of finishing it in four years, I finished it in six. I think what was harder for me as a kid was having to deal with that whole foster care shit. That was crap.

Hmmm I'm not sure what I'd do. I mean the first time I went to college I had no idea what I wanted to do. It was more a rebellion thing than anything. No matter what else I do with my life, slaying is going to be my job. I've considered a law enforcement career but I have to be careful...I'd be too tempted to take care of things myself. I walk a pretty thin line as it is. I don't need to tempt myself anymore.

Oh wow so you've got a pre law degree? do you want to finish it? And does the whole mutant thing pay? The slayer thing doesn't. I can only imagine. I know I was terrified of that when CPS was on me about Dawn. It's pretty admirable that you've risen above it.

I think you'd do good in law enforcement though, but yeah you could attract a lot of unwanted attention with your capabilities.

I don't think I'm gonna finish it. I kind of majored in political science so if anything I might continue on that path but at the moment, school and stuff is not a priority.

I don't get paid a monthly salary or anything, but I get the usual cut from whatever we do. It's good money but obviously, it's black market stuff.

I'm screwed up in some ways but yeah, you get past all that, I guess. And CPS are assholes. I fucking hate them. Granted, they do some good, but for the most part, I think they make a fuckload of mistakes. Like trying to take Dawn away from you? It's not like she would have lived a better life under foster care.

Political science, like politics? I can actually see that. You know when you get a little older. Only because politicians are always old guys.

Right well at least it pays well. That's always a good thing.

I think we all have to have something we get over from our childhood. Childhood screws you up. Period. You spend the rest of your life getting over it. And yeah, so I wasn't being a stellar parent but I love her and that's more than she was going to get in foster care.

Yeah, right now I'm still too young for that shit. I was never into politics but Magneto sort of forced that into me when I was younger so I kind of just went with his interest.

I imagine you'd be a pretty cool parent though. I don't think it can ever be easy to care for teenagers. I was a fucking rebellious kid and I'm still rebellious.

So did it become your interest or is it something you're interested in now? Politics are completely off my radar.

I was an epic fail but I kept Dawn alive and that took some serious doing. I think if I hadn't had my own issues to deal with, I would have been alright. I don't know how single parents do it though. I had Spike, Willow, Xander and Tara all helping me with Dawn and I was still failing epically but in my defense, 90% of the time I was trying to be a parent to Dawn I was also trying to save the world.

I hated it at one point but now I kinda like it. But I don't focus too much on that whole Clinton Obama crap. Just mainly stuff to do with mutant right issues.

Yeah, you mentioned she was a key to some portal and you had to protect her while trying to save the world. That had to be a rough time for you. Is there a chance that she can turn back into into a key though or is her human form permanent now?

Right, that makes sense given your life.

Her human form is permanent now. Her blood will always be a key to a Hell dimension. Giles thinks she can actually open any dimension if you know where the portal opens up. The problem is the portals only close when the blood has run dry. So Dawn opens it and she dies. Or you know I jump through the portal and it kills me in her place. My blood, her blood...same blood. Or something like that.
