Meerkat Cabin--Common Room--Thursday Evening

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn was reading on the couch, enjoying the air conditioning after spending the afternoon outside in the humidity hunting for plants for Nature Magic. If she got the enthusiasm together later, maybe she'd go bother someone else, but for now she was content to be lazy.

NFB, locked

Buffy wandered back to the cabin after putting up the posters. She walked into the common room and dropped down on the floor, doing stretches for no particular reason. "Hey Dawnie. How was your day? Mine was totally completely awesome."

"Hot," she said, happy to see Buffy in a good mood. "Really? What made it so totally and completely awesome?"

"Sam! And Alec! And cheerleading tryouts!" Buffy summed up, grinning, as she bent forwards.

"You're dating both of them?" Dawn stared at Buffy, pretending that was the reason her stomach was tight. "And I thought cheerleading tryouts were Saturday?"

"Um, what're you doing?"

Buffy sat up straight, staring back at her. "I'm not dating Alec! That'd be weird! ...Sam's a total cutie though, and I don't think Molly would mind. Didn't look like she would mind." Buffy frowned. "Maybe I should ask her to check. And we decided on new cheerleaders yesterday so I just put up the posters!"

"No, she probably wouldn't mind," Dawn frowned, "I got the impression from both her and Sam that they weren't clicky. And why would it be weird to date Alec?"

"Who made the team?"

"Reeeeally?" Buffy wasn't really plotting Sam's imminent demise. It just looked like she did. "Hmmmm.. Huh? Oh. Because he's Alec, of course."

Buffy blinked at Dawn. What a strange question! Alec was just... Alec. Pretty, yes, but still Alec.

"The ones who made it was Isabel and D and Pippi and Demyx and River and sort of Hamlet 'cause he's an alternate and he needs some cheer in his life. And possibly a new wardrobe."

That evening, Dean headed over to Meerkat. He knocked on the door and stuck his head in. "Anybody home?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn waved from over on the couch. "Hey. You coming in out of the rain?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"If you'll have me," he said, stepping inside. "How goes things?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I think I broke Buffy," she said, setting her book to the side. "How was your workshop?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Interesting. We got stuff." He sat down on the couch beside her. "How did you break Buffy?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I told her about the sister thing. What kind of stuff?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

He thought about that. "Yeah that would do it." He pulled out the minicomp he'd got that morning. "I got this in Leadership. Cool huh?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy glanced towards him from where she was toweling off her hair. She sighed deeply. "Not big brother. Damn."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean blinked. "What?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"I always wanted a big brother. Sam said I could have you. Instead I get a bigger little sister. The world is so very weird," Buffy explained.

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean focused in on what he judged the most important part of what she had said. "Wait, Sam said you could have me?"

Molly came in from the rain after spending some time talking to Pippi.

"Hey, Dawn. How has your day been?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Quiet, until recently," Dawn said. "Still raining, huh? I can't get used to that. What's up?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Not a lot," Molly said. "Pippi alerted me to a possible future prank from Tyler." She looked over at the Stickbug cabin. "Any clue if they've figured out it was us yet?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen a single Stickbug all day," Dawn answered with a frown, "and I would have liked to see the gnomes."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Cam is in Wilderness Survival with me," Molly said with a big grin. "His gnome actually made our fire for us. It was so cute."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"That is cute," she bounced, "and do you think he thinks it was us?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shook her head. "No clue," she said. "He didn't seem suspicious at all."
