Chapter 3
Dawn walked down the hallway of the Summers house and into her bathroom. As she entered the bathroom she noticed someone was in the shower. A body of a young teenage guy"¦
(Omg)
Dawn thought, (is that? Omg I think it is"¦ its Xander.)
Dawn let out a sigh under her breath but obviously not quiet enough.
Xander: Hey who's there, show yourself!
Xander put his hand around the side of the shower curtain and pointed his hand, which he had positioned into a gun and pointed it at Dawn. Dawn rushed towards the door in a hurry. Xander pulled back the curtain to see who was in the bathroom.
Xander: Dawn?
Dawn: argh busted. Sorry I. Uh"¦
Xander just gave Dawn another look, a look that says "huh".
Dawn: Im sorry, but geesh don't you ever lock the door, I mean aren't you glad it was me and not my mum who walked in here.
Xander: what exactly are you implying there Dawnie.
Said Xander mischievously.
Dawn: oh nothing, well im going to leave now, and leave you to"¦ uh.. um shower.
Xander: yeah thanks, and can you lock the door on the way out.
Dawn nodded and left the bathroom after locking it for Xander.

Dawn walked downstairs after being too embarrassed to come out of her bedroom after basically seeing her crush Xander pretty much naked. Dawn sat down at the table and joined Buffy, Joyce and the scoobies for breakfast.
Buffy: so you finally come downstairs to eat, I had the last bagel, didn't think you were coming down.
Dawn: Oh that's okay, im not that hungry.
Xander: Dawnie you should eat something"¦
Dawn: Thanks for your concern, but I'll get a bite later.
Dawn kept eyeing of Xander, way more than usual and kept blushing every time Xander would look in her direction and every time she thought he was looking at her. Buffy noticed Dawn looking at Xander and blushing.
Buffy: Dawn, come with me to the kitchen to help me with the juice?
Dawn: but"¦
Dawn saw the look Buffy was giving her. She thought (great, just what I need.)
Dawn: fine
Dawn and Buffy excused themselves from the table as Willow and Xander were playing battle ship with the salt and pepper and the rest of the stuff sitting at the table and Joyce and Giles were talking about their jobs. Buffy leant against the kitchen bench and Dawn opened the door to the fridge and began looking for the juice.
Dawn: so what juice, we have orange and"¦ well there is only orange. Oh wait no there's some apple here. I so bags it.
Buffy: Dawn? Buffy gave Dawn that look again.
Dawn: okay you have to stop doing that. What did I do?
Buffy: you know exactly what.
Dawn: if this is about your blue sweater.
Buffy: you took my clothes without asking. Argh"¦ you're so annoying.
Dawn: what it is like one sweater, what are you even talking about?
Buffy: you"¦. And Xander.
Dawn began to blush.
Dawn: what about"¦me and "¦ Xander.
Buffy: oh don't play games, I saw you two eyeing each other off. You have made it quite obvious.
Dawn yeah well there is nothing going on between Xander and me"¦ not yet.
Buffy: so you like him then?
Dawn: yeah why should it matter, you have Angel"¦ I heard him come in last night so don't you be pounding on my back.
Buffy: im not, its just its Xander, and he's like my best friend"¦ I just"¦ it would be weird"¦ your like 14 and Xander is 16.
Dawn: you can't talk"¦ look how old Angel is.
Buffy: shh, keep it down. Mum doesn't know about me and Angel dating.
Dawn: well she wasn't too bad when you told her about you being the slayer.
Buffy: yeah well that was different, this is boyfriend sorta stuff"¦and this is "¦ different.
Dawn: you said different already. Well you back off from what Xander and me might have and ill back off from your relationship with Angel.
Buffy: one condition, I get the apple.
Dawn gave Buffy a dirty look and handed her the juice.
Dawn: I hate being the youngest, and the weakest I might add.
Buffy: you'll get over it.
