Dawn waited patiently for Spike to open the door to his crypt and exclaimed, “Trick or treat?”
“Halloween was the other day, Nibblet,” he grumbled. “And I don’t have candy.”
“I know that, Mr. Obvious,” she said, rolling her eyes. “And I brought candy! See?”
She grinned, lifting a transparent bag filled with sugary delights.
Spike arched his eyebrow. “I’m not a trick-or-treating expert, but you’re doing it wrong.”
“They’re Halloween leftovers,” she said, losing some of her enthusiasm. “I know you like junk food and don’t have to watch your weight or worry about cavities, so… here. For you.”

“Thanks… I s’pose,” said Spike, taking the bag. “You shouldn’t be wandering the graveyard. Especially after your Halloween adventures.”
She crossed her arms. “Right. I guess this is the part where you’re telling me off. Go ahead, let’s hear it.”
“How are you?” he asked, taking Dawn by surprise.
She chuckled. “Wow. So far you’re the only one who bothered to ask that instead of just lecturing me.”
“Responsible adults are supposed to do that,” he shrugged. “Lucky for you I don’t fit that definition.”
Spike winked and she smiled. “Thanks.”
“A’right, you got ten minutes,” he said, walking outside.

“Spike! It’s day!” she shrieked.
“And cloudy,” he observed, inviting her to sit with him on a nearby tomb. “You all right?”
Dawn sat, sighing. “A teen vamp stole my first kiss and I dusted him when he tried to bite me.”
“Good for you!” he exclaimed. “You slayed a baddie!”
“Did you not hear the part leading up to that?”
“Yeah, that’s girl talk. Makes me uncomfortable.”
She scoffed. “Never mind.”
“Fine, here’s my advice: boys are the worst. Always beware of them.”
“You sound like an overprotective big brother.”
“Good. Now go home and stay out of trouble.”
