Well, kind of sorry. Not sorry enough to not interrupt, though, obviously. And, since I consistently lurk your journal, I'm absolutely positive you want to know MY opinion. (J/K).
Anyway, I also have my sooper sekret Bangel moments, and my personal fanwank for her not coming to help is that she didn't know what was going on. I figure Giles made the executive decision not to tell her, and let's face it. Andrew, though entertaining, is an idiot. Buffy would probably write off any odd comments he made, and would expect Angel or Spike to contact her in an emergency. I figure Andrew's new masculinity mentor made (Hee. Alliteration. It takes so little to entertain me some days.) sure Andrew thought telling Buffy would be a bad idea. Presto. Clueless!Buffy who wasn't ever given the chance to run to the rescue.
By the way--this little ficlet was pretty much exactly the way I see Dawn and Buffy dealing with this issue. Heaven forbid they actually talk about it.
