Listening to the fish

[the_dawnster]

She had been told not to explore without her sister. Of course, Buffy was overly protective of Dawn in this place where they knew very little about their surroundings. And maybe since overly protective was her sister's default in regards to her, Dawn should change that to supremely protective. But Dawn had a habit of not listening to her sister and doing her own thing. She was older now, a college student even, and didn't really think most people here even knew what 'the key' was or how they could try to use it.

This is what has her standing at an open door, peeking inside in excited wonderment. She hasn't quite stepped in yet. Mostly, she's just looking in and marvelling at the sight of the Brontosauruses drinking from the lake, their long necks curving and dipping down or rising high up over the ground.

“This is so freakin' cool...” She murmurs to herself, on the edge of stepping in, but also something holding her back from fully doing so. She saw Jurrasic Park. Plus, there's that little voice of her sister in her ear telling her to be careful, not to go off on her own, not to speak to strangers, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah and so forth.

For the briefest of seconds, Dawn was sure the T-Rex was gonna eat Buffy. And then she would feel horrible because she was the one that had wanted to go in there. But she should have known better. Her sister was made of stronger stuff, had defeated bigger and badder things. "Go Buffy!" She yelled when her sister went into attack mode. And then there was ninety pounds of Slayer, The coming at her and Dawn moved too slow to get out of the way.

She hits the floor with an 'umph', completely getting the breath knocked out of her. And for awhile she'll just lay there looking up at the ceiling and catching their breath. "So I guess the dinosaur thing is only cool in theory."

Should have had more faith, Dawnie!

Yeah, sorry about that tackle thing. She was a little concerned about not dying or not getting Dawn killed when she'd made every tackle in the NFL envious with that one.

"It's all fun and games 'til a T-Rex wants to make you a snack."
