[Anya lets out a small cry that is probably lost in the sound of things crashing into other things. Her table! Her merchandise! They better not have broken anything important.
Smacking into the ceiling doesn't stun the vampire for very long, and it's lucky that Rin takes quick advantage of the opening, even if she botches it a little. The actual blade of the sword leaves only a relatively shallow cut across the vampire's chest, but the flames catch its shirt on fire. That's the only thing preventing it from immediately going after Rin, as even if it is back on its feet quickly enough, it has to devote its attention to patting out the flames before they can turn it to dust.
It's at this point that Anya comes limping down the stairs and angrily swings her sword as hard as she can at the vampire's neck.
Unfortunately she has normal human strength and not Slayer strength, so the sword just sort of lodges partway through and now they have a vampire with a sword sticking out of its neck.

We're all doing really great here.]
