“Vampires turn to dust in sunlight…” Kennedy began.

“And that means Dracula could be turned to dust with this thing.” Faith stood up and continued. “Ladies… I think we just started our plan.”

Weirdness

Kennedy stood in the shower and let the hot water loosen her tense muscles. ‘I’m so glad Faith showed up. Now I know we’ll beat this thing. Who would have thought it… Dracula…’ Kennedy let out a little sigh and continued to rinse her hair.

“Yo K!” Faith yelled as she suddenly burst through the bathroom door.

“HELLLOOO! Naked in here!” Kennedy said quickly making sure the shower curtain was pulled as close to the wall as possible.

“I know… but you ain’t got nothin’ I haven’t seen before! Or do you?” Faith playfully reached for the shower curtain to pull it back. Kennedy quickly pulled against her while Faith laughed and let go.

“Well you haven’t seen ME naked and I’d like to keep it that way,” Kennedy said laughing at her friend.

“Oh damn… ah well… guess I’ll just have to live without that picture then,” Faith laughed.

“What do you want?” Kennedy asked resuming her rinsing.

“Just need to pee. The girls have that other bathroom packed to the ceiling with beauty crap. You’d think they were here for a pageant instead of to fight big bads,” Faith said as she proceeded to drop her jeans and use the toilet.

“Yeah… that’s why we made Dawn share with them. Thought you’d be more comfy with us.”

“Gee thanks! I really appreciate that,” Faith said sarcastically.

“We could always move you in there and have Dawn stay in our room,” Kennedy joked.

“NO THANK YOU!” Faith exclaimed. “Done!” Faith pulled her pants up and, grinning, flushed the toilet. The water in the shower suddenly became too hot for Kennedy to bear.

“Damnit Faith!” Kennedy exclaimed jumping out of the hot stream. Faith just laughed and opened the bathroom door to leave. “Just remember that paybacks are hell!” Kennedy yelled at her retreating back. When the water cooled, she quickly finished her shower and toweled dry. Kennedy wiped the steam off the mirror and looked at herself. ‘I’m getting bags under my eyes. I wonder if Giles will let us take a little vacation when this is taken care of. Yeah… someplace with a beach would be nice…’ Kennedy let her thoughts linger on that idea for a while before she joined Faith, Dawn, and Willow in their bedroom. The room had become severely cluttered over the past few days and Kennedy couldn’t help but wish for a more permanent residence. ‘When this is taken care of… we’ll get an apartment in the Village…’
