"Getting harder to do that" He says

"And maybe add the bottle now, like you said?" She looks down at the sleeping girls.

A frown as she looks at him. "No...it's not. You're the coolest dad ever. Though I bet Dagmar would disagree."

"Dagmar's entitled to her opinions, you are the one I want to impress" He pulls out a whiskey bottle "If they're lucky they'll wake up before anyone finds themw ith it, but it'l lgive them an excuse for waking up in a weird place"

"Exactly. Can I do it?" She takes the bottle if allowed, and sprinkles it lightly on their shirts, then slips the bottle into Lillian's hand, where it dribbles on the library carpet.

"Nice... always better to moderate it"

"People wonder about the librarian, anyway. Okay...thanks, Dad."

"Welcome" He says "Now, did you notice the new motorcycles?" wait, that wasn't her dad's regular motorcycle

"Huh? New...and more than one?"

He grins "I was waiting to tell you, but yeah. Figure you need some good news. Let's go home, okay, Buffy? Your mom is worried."

A wince. "Buffy rocks, but don't call me that, okay?" And she texts her mom that she's safe before they head home.

"OK. I was trying to transition away from Rugmonster" He shrugs "But you can't beat a classic"

And he'll offer her the second helmet, and let her ride home holding on...

She is perfectly content to ride home victorious and with her Dad.

She needs to rest by the fire, lots of glamour used... and as she dozes, she overhears her father saying to Kerri "werewolf? Vampire? wonder what prodigal comes up next? You know what they say about things in threes"
