Dawn sat on the couch picking at her piece of pepperoni pizza while Xander sat comfortably in Spike’s lap, keeping his piece of cheesy deliciousness far away from the blonde. It was a typical night at the Summer’s household. Buffy was doing dishes in the kitchen laughing and swatting playfully at Willow’s roaming hands. Dawn smiled as she thought of how things were now. It wasn’t long ago that Anya and Giles left for England and her world was turned upside down. Giles had been like a father to her. She cried for almost a week when he left. That was almost a year ago. Buffy and Willow emerge from the kitchen to come sit in the living-room with the others. It had been a quite night, no apocalypse this week, no big bad to research. It was one of the few nights that everyone could just be together and have fun. They had settled on a Firefly marathon and pizza.
“So what part of the cow is peperoni from?” she asked as she popped a piece in her mouth. “Oi, what are they teaching you in that bloody prep school? Pepperoni doesn’t come from cows, Bit.” Spike looked appalled. “It’s not a prep school, Spike. It’s high school, and they teach schooley things there. It doesn’t mean they teach food production. So where does it come from then, all knowing vampire person?“ Dawn dared him. Spike looked over at Buffy as if for an answer. She smiled slightly and shugged her shoulders.
“Marrow of a Feral demon.”
“Oh my god that’s gross!” Dawn thru down her pizza on the coffee table. Xander began to giggle. “Dawnie, he’s just kidding. It comes from pork and a little beef mixed in.” Xander thumped the vampire in the arm.
“No, ‘m not. Says how much you know. The trick is you gotta get the horn off without breakin’ it. Then if you suck out the marrow you get this.” He said eating a piece of the meat that he stole off of Xander’s pizza.
Xander and Buffy laughed as Dawn jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen, squealing. “Spike, that was just mean.”
“I’m evil, Pet.”
Dawn comes back shortly holding a wash cloth and wiping her tongue with it. “I’m never eating pepperoni again.” She plopped down on the couch, still holding the wash cloth. “Come on, Dawnie. Don’t listen to him. He was just joking around with you.” Willow scowled at Spike from her spot on the short sofa.
“Yeah, nibblet, was just makin a crack that’s all.” Spike smiled at her and gave her another slice of pizza. Dawn looked unsure but finally took the slice and happily munched away at it. She was working on her third and watching Jane get lowered onto the moving train when Spike leaned over and spoke.
“Hey Dawnie?”
“Yeah Spike?”
“Wanna know where mushrooms come from?”
