Mari arrived a short time later, trying not to look as nervous as he felt. He hoped that Dawn's family would approve of him.
With a tentative hand, he reached out and knocked on the door. While he waited for them to answer, he shifted the package of roses he'd brought for Dawn. He hoped that she wasn't allergic to flowers or anything- a momentary panic seized him at that thought.
Dawn squeaked as she heard the knock. She quickly ran over, giving Buffy and Xander one last pleading look, whispered "Please... he actually makes me HAPPY.", and opened the door, a big almost Joker-esque smile on her face.
Dawn smiled brightly when Mari gave her the flowers. For the first time in her life, she felt like a lady. Like a normal teenager with a severe case of puppy love. Not the angst-filled, soap opera of a relationship she'd had with Ash.
The younger Summers girl sweetly took Mari's hand and motioned to her sister.
"Mari? This is my sister Buffy, and her boyfriend Xander. Guys? This is Mari."
