Dawn couldn’t believe that she had the house to herself, especially since Buffy and Xander never seemed to want to go out. She knew that they were both worried about Willow and were both afraid of missing a phone call from England about their best friend. At the same time, she thought that she’d go mental if they didn’t leave the house and let her be a normal teenager. However, they had finally left and Dawn had the entire house to herself. Just as she was about to decide whether she wanted to watch some trashy daytime television or to listen to her music on the stereo at an insanely loud volume, she heard an unearthly yowling from upstairs. She froze with indecision as the sound continued. Her first thought was that vampire has broken into the house intent on revenge but as she wildly looked around for a weapon, the fact that it was a bright, sunny Californian day filtered into her mind. As this realization sunk in, Dawn grabbed the baseball bat that was by the door. She nervously swallowed, before she ran up the stairs to investigate the source of the loud yowling. The site that greeted her was probably the most bizarre she had ever encountered since her family had moved to Sunnydale. Dawn’s mouth fell open in shock as she watched Miss Kitty Fantastico drag Buffy’s beloved Mr Gordo from Buffy’s new room to her old room. It took her a minute to realize that the source of the unholy howling was the cat. Miss Kitty dropped the stuffed pig and started up at Dawn before meowing at her and then stalking off downstairs. Leaving Dawn alone and wondering why the cat would be so interested in Buffy’s toy pig.
