Summary:

Set between OMWF and Wreckage.
Buffy and Spike are fooling around on patrol when they spot Dawn embracing some guy (age is up to the author). Buffy and Spike rip off the doors of the car scaring the piss out of the driver (our nameless strawman) and annoying Dawn. Spike makes a few colorful threats that leaves our nameless strawman whimpering. as Buffy drags Dawn home. Buffy lectures Dawn about inappropriate relationships. Dawn yells at Buffy comparing her relationship to nameless strawman to Riley, Angel, and Spike. At first, Buffy breaks up with Spike because it's a bad example for Dawn. Much to Spike's dismay he has to agree. Which makes Buffy start to re-elevate all her relationships asking herself the question if Dawn was in that relationship would it be okay? The answer ends with "no" until she gets to Spike.
