Buffy, Mom and I were shopping in Sunnydale Mall where Buffy had found an outfit she wanted "Come on, Mom, please?" Buffy begged.

"I'm sorry honey," mom said shaking her head "Don't you understand how important this is?" Buffy says making me roll my eyes she only wants the outfit to impress Angel no doubt.

"It's an outfit. An outfit that you may never buy" Mom tells Buffy "But I looked good in it" Buffy sighs with a pout "You looked like a streetwalker" Mom shoots back making me snort.

Buffy glared at me before turning to mom "But a thin streetwalker" Mom looked at Buffy shocked "That's probably not gonna be the winning argument, is it?" Buffy asks looking defeated.

Mom sighs and stops "You're just too young to wear that" Buffy frowns "Yeah, and I'm gonna be too young to wear it until I'm too old to wear it"

"That's the idea" Mom agrees "The stores are closing, and I still need to order the flyers for the opening" Mom sighs reaching into her pocket and pulls out a slip of paper.

"Okay. I'll go to the printers, Nikki you go to the food court and Buffy you go to the tailor and pick up my outfit from Everyday Woman" Mom says handing Buffy her receipt slip.

Buffy looks at the paper "Everyday Woman?" she says with disgust "Mm-hm. There's the receipt" mom points at the paper "Why didn't you just go to Muu-Muus R Us?" Buffy replies sassily.

"Do now, make fun of your mother later" Mom tell us as she walks off, getting on the escalators I waited to get to the ground floor, I look around and smirked seeing a cowboy and a girl "Howdy" I laugh as he tips his hat at me.

My smirk soon drops when I notice that the cowboy's reflection is missing from the mirrors that line the escalator corridor, Immediately I turn and spot Buffy walking on the upper floor.

"Buffy" I call knowing that she'd hear me with our Slayer hearing, Buffy turns to look at me and I point at the cowboy and put my finger on my mouth like fangs.

Buffy's face drops and she nods "On it!" she calls and runs to the vampire sighing I turned to the food court to order our food before mom comes back.

Waiting for the food I looked around for my sister who still hadn't come back, I don't know what's keeping her honestly it looked like stake and run job to me.

Picking up the tray I sat at the cleanest table I could find, hearing someone sit down I turned with a smile expecting to find Buffy but I saw the irritated face of my mother "Where's Buffy?".

Trying to think of an excuse I sighed gratefully when Buffy finally sat with us "Oh, bliss mall food" Buffy smiled as Mom looks at her expectantly "Buffy?" Buffy looks up confused "Mom?".

"Where's my dress?" Buffy frowns looking confused "Your dr...? Oh. Oh, God" she winces as mom looks at her annoyed.

"Let me guess: you were distracted by a boy," Mom asks Buffy with a peeved sigh"Technically" Buffy replies with a cringe as Mom leans back in her chair "Buffy..."

Buffy exhales "Look, I-I can go get it right now" mom shakes her head "They're closed. I'll just have to fit it in tomorrow" she says with a frown and Buffy looks down "Sorry".

"A little responsibility is all I ask. Honestly, don't you ever think about anything besides boys and clothes?" Mom says sternly "Saving the world from vampires?" Buffy says as I glare at her.

Mom crosses her arms "I swear, sometimes I don't know what goes on in your head." Buffy and I look at each other sadly.
