I know. Up until that point (and after it), it's always Claudia and Stacey are close and Dawn and Mary Anne. Except here, when Dawn stays after meetings, stays for dinner, goes against everything she believes in order to make Claudia happy--yeah, once I get this femslash 06 mailed off tonight, I think the next story I write is definitely going to be Dawn/Claudia.

I'm also rather fond of Mary Anne/Stacey, even though I've never seen fic for it. After their Sea City trips, they seem a lot closer.
