Third Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn was wearing the same jeans and sweater she'd been wearing yesterday, not wanting to head back to her room and too tall to borrow Molly's. She was also freezing, which had led to her mixing up a very large pot of oatmeal. The fixings were in the cupboard if anyone wanted them, but she wasn't setting them out.

Instead, she was sitting with her bowl of healthy goodness (once you ignored the raisins and brown sugar she'd added to her own) and a very, very large mug of hot cocoa with mini marshmallows. She read through a large pile of books and scrolls she'd brought with her and that Giles had sent since May (not all of which were in English), trying to find anything that explained what was going on.

She made occasional notes on a pad as she worked.

"I might've been enjoying it a little more than I should," Dean admitted. "Not that I'll ever admit that to him."

Neil made the universal 'zipping lips' motion and then chuckled around a sympathetic wince.

"Is Dawn...Dawn? Do you think she'll forgive him if things go back to normal?"

"She's Dawn," Dean confirmed. "And yeah, she's pretty good with the forgiveness for being an ass when you think you're someone else."

"This happens a lot?" Neil asked, looking a little concerned.

Okay, looking a lot concerned.

"Not this exactly, but there's been other weirdness in the past. When I was dating Dawn last summer, Sam -- the one that's not my brother -- made some cookies that turned everyone who ate them into characters from this musical, Grease. I thought I was this guy Kinickie who has sex with Rizzo -- who was really one of the camp councillors and who I hadn't met before. Dawn was just a little miffed at me sleeping with someone else -- and she didn't know that I didn't know who I was -- so she hit me on the head with a frying pan."

"So, you were dating Dawn before Sam your brother?" Neil grinned. "Yes, that's sort of what stuck in my head out of all of what you just said."

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Neil took a sip of his tea and looked generally bemused at life.

"This place is just beyond strange and that's before you add in any of the..." Neil gestured slightly with the tea mug. "Added fun and games."

"Yeah, Dawn and I dated for a couple of months before she and Sammy finally got together," Dean confirmed with a smile. "And yeah, Fandom is strange even on a good day."

"Seems to suit though." Neil said with a smile. "Anyway, I think I'll gather up my toast and get back to my hiding. It was good to talk with you, Dean. See you around."
