Rating: FRC
Characters: Dawn, Spike
Timeline: set between S5 and S6
She rarely smiles, which isn’t surprising, considering what happened. But while it takes some time, he finds things that can coax a smile out of the child’s face. Ice cream cones can yield big ones, puppies even bigger.
Smiles are one thing; laughs are more difficult. Finally, he catches her giggling at a commercial- a preview for the summer’s latest sappy romantic comedy.
There is sewer access to the theater and they can afford matinee prices, so while the witches are on campus taking summer classes, Spike spends his afternoons with Dawn in the cool darkness of the movie theater.
Song Title Prompt: "The Dark of the Matinee"
