Summary; It's Buffy's birthday! And Dawn has a day full of surprises planned for her.
Log;

It's Buffy's birthday so Dawn has taken the day off from work. She told Buffy to do the same without giving her any idea as to what the plan was or where they were going. But they're currently walking through the City together, Buffy more following Dawn's lead than anything. But that doesn't mean Buffy hasn't tried to figure out what they're doing.

“Don't you know what the definition of a surprise is? It's something you don't know that you'll eventually find out and be all wow about cause you had no clue what was going to happen. This whole day would be a surprise.” No, she doesn't expect that to sate Buffy's curiosity. She knows her sister is always nervous about her birthday, which is why she decided to keep it a bit more low key this year than last year. You can't have a surprise party every year or the surprise party is just expected, which is not the definition of the word surprise.

"I prefer personal shopper, thank you very much. So much better sounding than sales lady. Plus, I don't work on commission so you know I'm getting you things I actually think are cute on you and not just trying to make a sale. And I have to add that sales lady sounds too much like bag lady and I'm way cuter than either of those things sounds. So personal shopper."

She waits as Buffy changes, idly checking over the racks of clothes nearest to the dressing room. When Buffy comes out, Dawn smiles at the sight of her in the dress. Her sister really is pretty. "I think it's super pretty and hot. Good for a date with Pyro or Dom or Jericho or whoever you're dating now. You have nice shoulders, you should show them off more."

[whattingawhat]

"Personal shopper then." She says it from inside the dressing room. "How did I ever get along without you?"

And then there's the compliments, which Buffy likes. She does the twirly thing, turning around to gape a little at Dawn. "I am not dating...I don't think I'm dating anyone. I have friends and I'm not even entirely sure Jericho is my friend."

But then placating because yes, she does have nice shoulders. "They're one of my best features but you can't just go around in strapless shirts all the time."

[the_dawnster]

"What do you mean you're not dating? You're always dating someone. I mean to be you is to date boys and apparently girls too... only in the singular sense, girl... as far as I know." Now she's having Buffy and Satsu thoughts and memories that are emblazoned onto her brain from that night when everyone and their dog had walked in on the pair.

She wrinkles her nose at the memory and looks back to Buffy in the dress. "Especially not in Winter. So do you think it needs to be taken in just a little at the waist or is it good with the breathing room and all?"

[whattingawhat]

"I'm not...occasionally...I went out to dinner with Dom once. It was a friend dinner. We talked about his wife and kids. Jericho stays in our basement sometimes and I do not stay with him and no one knows what's going on with Pyro. That sounds like a lot of not dating to me."

Buffy is doing her best to block their interruption out of her brain as well. "Girl. Just one girl. I found out it sort of wasn't my thing."

She does some stretching and lifting her arms. "I think it's good. Even the length is good."

[the_dawnster]

"It sounds like a lot of dating a lot of people who've all been bitten by the love spell that is Buffy and you not even noticing, like you did with Spike... and with Riley... and... nope, I think those two examples speak for themselves."

She watches Buffy move in the dress and then comes over to study the dress closer. This shop really does have the best clothing, well-made and fashionable and all.

She leans in at Buffy's chest. "That fits great, it's definitely a keeper. But I wonder how they would fit that for people who actually have a chest. Go try on something else."

[whattingawhat]

"There is no love spell that is Buffy. Spike was...Spike and Riley was an actual boyfriend."

Almost offended but hey she gets to wear pretty dresses. Rising above it. "It wouldn't fit right. It's a petite chest thing."

[the_dawnster]

"You're totally missing the point of what I'm saying. You were oblivious to their being under the love spell that is Buffy for awhile before you woke up and saw it... or a younger sister made of awesome told you about it... that would be me. Guys are always coming on to you and wanting to date you and you hardly ever see it until something makes you see it."

This is where she puts her hands on her hips in her 'don't mess with bb!Summers' pose. She gives Buffy a pointed look with an arched brow, waiting for her sister to try to argue that it isn't true when she knows it is. "I'm right and you know it.

Then she shoos her toward the dressing room. "Okay, birthday girl, try on something else that makes you look date-worthy." Because she's pretty sure that everything she scooped up from the racks on their way over here is going to look fantastic on her sister.

[whattingawhat]

"And I think you're glamorizing my love life or something. Guys are not always coming on to me. I'm pretty sure most of them run the moment they find out about the whole slay girl thing unless they've got their own special kid thing. You know, vampire, demon, immortal, sets things on fire..."

Buffy rolls her eyes. Clearly Dawn is having none of this truth as Buffy knows it.

"Fiiiiiine. I'll go look date worthy but only because you're buying."

She disappears into the dressing room to try something else on, confident conversation will continue with the curtain between them.

[the_dawnster]

"By saying that you're totally just making my point for me... and yet somehow still missing the point. You're that talented." Said as she waits outside the dressing room.

[whattingawhat]

"Clearly or..."

And she comes out in one of the other dresses. "You're that deluded about my love life."

And twirling. Yes, she does believe Dawn is very deluded about her love life.

[the_dawnster]

"I pay attention more than you think I do, you know."

When Buffy comes out of the dressing room, Dawn moves closer again. A smile spreads over her lips as she sees Buffy twirl and the fullness of the skirt that is still pretty full even when she isn't twirling. "I love the skirt on this one. It's totally in fashion, I think. Plus the color. Everyone needs a little black dress or two... or three."

She stands behind Buffy so that her sister can see herself in the mirror. "What do you think? Do you like that the skirt is so full? I don't think you've ever worn a dress like that before, I mean with a skirt like that."
