"Buffy?" Dawn poked her head around the bedroom door.

"Here!" the voice emerged from beneath her bed. Dawn knelt down and placed the steaming hot cup of tea on the floor. Buffy's hand shot out from beneath the bed-sheets and retracted it towards her.

"Two sugars?"

"Three" Dawn confirmed. "Are you really going to keep this up all day?"

"Until my birthday is over Dawnie I'm staying right here!"

"You don't think you being a bit….AHHHHHHH!" Dawn screamed as the Noseen demon crashed through the window, spewing vile drool from every orifice. Buffy flipped the bed up with her legs, knocking the beast flat. She jumped on top of it, pinning it to the floor and began hacking the helpless demon to bits with her broadsword.

"Oh screw it, go get my presents and cake!" she remarked mid-sword swing.

"Uhuh" Dawn whimpered as she crawled from the room on all fours.

"And get some garbage bags to put the pieces of this thing in!"

"OK!" Dawn replied, running down the stairs to fetch the funny hats .
