CASSIE: Well, I guess this is goodbye.

DAWN: No. I mean, let me walk you home.

CASSIE: Oh, don't worry about it, I'm going to my Mom's. It's kinda far.

DAWN: Far is good.

CASSIE: Dawn, I know what's going on here.

DAWN: What?

CASSIE: Buffy told you about me, right? She told you to pretend to be my friend?

DAWN: No. Maybe. Cassie, she was scared. She wanted to help you.

CASSIE: Well, she can't.

DAWN: Maybe she can. She's not like you think. She's got powers... of helping. And look, she was worried and now I'm worried and I wasn't pretending at all. I really wanted to be your friend.

CASSIE: You are my friend.

DAWN: I am?

CASSIE: Yeah. Just remember, I'm not as dumb as I look.

DAWN: I'm glad.

PETER: Hey, Summers!

CASSIE: Listen, Dawn, whatever happens now, it's not your fault, OK?

DAWN: (to Cassie) Uh... (to boy) Uh, what's up, Peter?

PETER: I was just wondering if anyone had asked you to winter formal.

DAWN: What? (smiles, blushes) Oh, uh, no. not exactly.

PETER: Well, uh, I was just doing a poll. (laughs at her) I'll see you.

DAWN: That guy is such an ass. (realizes Cassie's gone) Cassie? Cassie? Cassie!
