DAWN: (calls) Hello! We're home!

TARA: Looks like no one's here.

DAWN: Well, I'm sure they'll be back soon. Um, I know Willow and Buffy were meeting up with Xander to do some research.

TARA: Well then I, I should really get back.

DAWN: Or, you can stay and wait for them. Then you can get a chance to catch up with ... everyone.

TARA: Yeah, I-I don't think that's such a great idea.

DAWN: Okay. Your call. I have the TV to keep me company until they get back. (faux innocent) You notice how it's been getting dark so much earlier these days? (giggles, indicates TV) Talking cat.

TARA: Fine. I'll stay, but just until they get back. And only to make sure that you're not alone, this ... has nothing to do with ... anyone else.

DAWN: Sure. Cool. Up to you.
