"Willow might know something," Dawn said. Willow had plenty of witchy books and stuff, so she might be able to look something up for her. Dawn had just sort of assumed it was some kind of demon thing when Kenny told her, and kind of set it aside. It wasn't as if she wasn't totally brought up in a world filled with demons and vampires. Kenny was cute, so dating a thricewise didn't sound too bad.

"Well, I tend to think that he had something to do with it," Dawn told her. Not that she didn't bring it on herself. Dawn felt that way, anyway. It wasn't as if she had asked to be turned into a giant, but she certainly hadn't treated Kenny the way he deserved to be treated.

Which, of course, would lead Buffy to want to know more about what had happened. Dawn was sort of embarrassed to admit to what happened. She thought that her big sister would look down on her for what she did. It wasn't like she had planned to do wrong. It just...sort of happened. She had thought she was doing the right thing by coming clean to Kenny right away. Being an adult about it.

Yeah, right. Being an adult sucks.

"You promise you won't get mad at me?" Dawn asked Buffy. Even though she was looking down on her big sister, she was definitely looking to Buffy for some reassurance right now.
