Chapter 4
DAwn walked throgh the warehouse looking at all the new slayers, she smiled. As DAwn waslked she thought about everything that was happening in her life. The destruction of Sunnydale and her feelings for Xander, Dawn had had a crush on Xander ever since she could remember. But now she couldn't help but wonder if maybe Xander felt the same. She also thought about her secret. She'd never be able to explain to people how she knew the things she knew, how she knew Buffy's secret or the fact that out there somewhere Spike was back.
"Hey DAwnie. How are you?" Willow smiled.
"Good. What are ya doing?"
Willow looked at DAwn, "Well I'm supposed to be getting everyone together but no one will listen to me."
DAwn smiled sympathetically, "Sorry. Maybe I could help. They listen to me, sometimes."
"Oh no you go do whatever."
DAwn's smile faded, "Yeah whatever."
Willow saw the anger on the young girls face. "Look DAwnie..."
"No don't worry I'm just a kid right? It's cool I'll talk to Xander."
DAwn walked to where XAnder sat on a matress and laid dwn with her head in his lap. Xander bagan to stroke her hair, he looked at DAwn and was forced to remind himself that she was Buffy's sister. "You wanna talk about it?"
Dawn moved around to look up at Xander. "Everyone thinks I'm a kid I mean I'm eightenn in like two days, I'm older then Buffy was when she started slaying."
Xander looked at DAwn and thought of how far she'd come, how beautiful she is and at how he was beginning to fall in love with her.
"No you're not a kid. Far from it. Dawn you've grown so much since you first came here and I can tell you know you're one of the most extroadinary women I've ever met."
DAwn sat up, grinned and hugged XAnder just Joanna walked over. Joanna was a young blonde slayer with green eyes and was fairly short for someone her age.
"Hey guys, I didn't mean to interrupt."
DAwn looked up at her friend, "Oh hi Jo."
Joanna moved and collapsed ont the matress righty next to DAwn.
"Okay so I'm supposed to get you guys to head to the bus Willow says Buffy found us a place to crash."
"Cool." Dawn smiled.
"Look I better go get my things. Bye Dawn, Bye XAnder." and Jo was gone.
"We should pack." DAwn stated before grabbing her bag and stuffing what little she had in it. Xander stood and did the same. Several minutes later Xander grabbed both bags and stuck them on the bus before taking his seat behind the wheel. Dawn took the seat behind him.
Buffy walked onto the bus, "Alright everyone. Sit down please. We're going to a hotel. You'll all have set rooms for everyones safety. Now Xander let's motor." Buffy sat bside her sister.
"Sure thing Buff." and the bus was off.
