A\N: I Wub you Jaime! Thanks for betaing! Also this is my first attempt at a Dawn POV and I'm nervous as all heck about it....

Shattered Fairytales


In fairytales the girls always cry, or at least in movies they do. They turn into these big sacks of weeping mush over some guy. She didn't cry. She got kind of quiet, a queer look on her face, as if she was trying to see past Andrew, or through him. But she didn't cry. She's attacking the kitchen now, furiously scrubbing the counters and floors. It's not cleaning; she's waging war. I don't think it matters much that her opponents are merely dust bunnies.

I don't think she has even seen me since it hit. I don't think she's really seen anything. But I guess love can do that to you. What did Willow always say? Love makes you do the whacky? It must because I don't understand how he could do that to her, to us. And I'm not sure who I hate more at the moment, it a big stake toss up between the two of them, how could he not tell her? How could they both not tell her?

Men are idiots. All of them. I hope I never fall in love cause the way I see it, it just brings a lot of pain and hurt and the next thing you know you are cleaning the kitchen at four in the morning. Stupid guys. Stupid them. He should have come for her, like in a fairytale, and just picked her up and kissed her. Rome is such a romantic city. It would have been perfect. But no, he had to be a stupid guy and instead lie and stay in LA with Angel. Now see that is just giving me major wiggings. I thought they pretty much hated each other. Now they are... what? Ganging up to lie to Buffy? To break her heart? To make sure we have a clean kitchen? What?

"Hey, can I help?" I try to force a small smile.

"Dawn." I think I startled her, she looks startled. "Umm..." She glances about the now spotless kitchen. "Sure." She hands me a sponge. I start wiping down the front of the fridge. It doesn't really need it but that not really the point. I'm here to help.

I don't believe in fairytales anymore.


The End.
