"What are you doing with that?"

Dawn eyed him suspiciously. The vampire in front of her, normally clad in black, and...black...was wearing a Sunnydale letterman jacket. She giggled inside as she could feel his awkwardness radiate off of him. "Well?" She folded her arms in an attempt to feign anger.

"I...um...that is..." His embarrassment gave way to honesty as he bowed his head and spoke reluctantly. "I thought Buffy might like it."

A guffaw shot from Dawn's lips and she actually spit on Spike accidentally. "Buffy might like it?! What are you, insane?"

"Looks that way, Nib...Dawn."

She eyed him again, noticing the slip. He did know better than to call her those cutsie little names after what he had done last spring.

"What makes you think Buffy would like *you* in *that*?"

He fingered the left sleeve a bit, trying to formulate and answer that wouldn't turn him into a complete nancy-boy. He failed. "It worked for that RJ bloke."

"In case you hadn't noticed, his was magickal. Yours? Just lame."

"No, see! That's the point, it was supposed to work just the same...but obviously it doesn't."

"Wh...oh. Nope, not gettin' the Spike-lovin' vibe here. Sorry." She harshly patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave. Just then, Xander entered.

"Hey! What cha guys doin'? Up for an ice cream run?" Suddenly, Xander turned to look at Spike full on, and his face turned crimson. "Woah. Hi, Spike. You look great. You been workin' out?" He reached out to touch Spike's bicep.

While Xander moved in, Spike pulled back, and Dawn skipped out the room laughing all the way.
