Dawn walked down the little, dark alley that was just off the entrance to the campus. She was already 10 minutes late getting home, so she decided to take a shortcut. Buffy was being such a worry wart recently. Dawn was 18 and had fought many vampires but Buffy still worried so Dawn was always home by 11 o'clock. What a blast she had had earlier, partying in her boyfriend Kevin’s dorm. Kevin was so cool and unlike her last boyfriend Luke, Buffy actually liked him. Buffy thought Luke was a bad influence, but enough about bygones. Dawn had met Kevin the first day of college, when they bumped into each other on the way to geography. Dawn had dropped a book with ‘Spells of Transmogrification’ on the cover and Kevin had picked it up. Not the most original way to meet someone but hey they were now going steady so it worked! Dawn looked around at her surroundings and didn’t quite know where she was. She’d lived in L.A. almost two years but didn’t know this part of town very well. Buffy would be fuming by now.
Dawn heard the faint sound of footsteps following her. She pulled out her pocket mirror, too scared to turn around, but saw no one but her own reflection. She decided she was just being paranoid, so she carried on. She took a few more steps before she heard a crash behind her. She turned around, this time to see a boy lying in a pile of crates, but when he got up she saw not a boy but something else. Something with a bumpy forehead. It lunged at her.
‘Cheese and Rice!’ Dawn screamed.
‘Don’t worry, little girl, this won’t hurt. I’m just a li’l bit peckish. I bet you taste good,’ the vamp told her.
‘Vampires! You never have anything new to say do you? ’ Dawn asked the vamp.
Just then, something jumped down from above. A man.
‘This one’s mine,’ The man said
‘Angelus!’ the vamp growled.
‘You know me?’ the man said morphing into his true face.
‘Angelus! Oh no!’ Dawn said to herself and started to run, frightened of her sister’s ex boyfriend counterpart.
‘Of course you’re unholyness. I bow down to you!’
‘Beg at my feet, minion,’ Angelus said before he took a wooden stake to the thing’s heart. ’Oh yeah. It’s Angel!’ The vamp turned to dust. Angel turned to make sure the vamp’s victim was all right but she’d gone.
‘I was just trying to help!’ Angel called after the woman he had just helped without knowing who she was.

Dawn was running as fast as she could through the rain that was now pouring down. She was now one hour late.
‘How’d that happen? I was only standing there for two seconds,’ Dawn said under her breath. She looked around. She didn't know where she was. She was standing in a parking lot with no cars. She saw a warehouse in front of her. It was too wet for her to go on. She’d have to stay in there no matter how mad Buffy would be. Anyway, Dawn could look after herself.
When she got inside, Dawn noticed a few crates and other warehouse-y stuff around. There was a stairway over to her left leading to a second floor with some rooms, but she didn’t want to go explore as it was midnight. She just sat on a crate and waited for sunrise.

Angel has just finished his rounds of L.A. and was now headed back to his home. His home was a warehouse two to three miles from where he was. After the battle he couldn’t go back to Wolfram &Hart. It wouldn’t be the same without the whole gang.
He arrived in the parking lot. The Doublemeat Palace was closed; so there were no cars. He walked through the doorway and was greeted by a scream.
‘What the hell!’ he said.

Dawn had been sitting for about half an hour before she started to drift to sleep. Just as she was resting her head the door to the warehouse burst open.
‘I‘m armed! Don‘t come any closer,’ Dawn said jumping up from the crate.
‘What the hell!’ the man that came in shouted
‘Crap! Where’s Buffy when you need her?’ Dawn asked herself noticing it was Angelus.
‘Dawn?’ Angelus said.
‘Angelus!’ Dawn said, grabbing the stake she had up her sleeve. ‘Good thing I never leave home without one.’
‘Ok! Hold on,’ Angelus said, his game face morphing back to a human face, ’ Angelus? Dawn it’s Angel.’
‘You’re a THING. You’re Angelus. You might have fooled Buffy *once* but you can’t fool me,’ Dawn said staring at Angelus with fear.
‘Dawn, it‘s me, Angel!.’
‘Why should I believe you?’
‘ ‘Cause if I were Angelus you‘d know.’
‘How?’ Dawn said now trembling fearing for her life.
‘You‘d be dead,’ Angel said walking around the warehouse.
‘Oh! Angel, I’m so sorry,’ Dawn said chucking the stake down and hugging Angel. Angel cringed. When he hugged Dawn, he felt closer to Buffy.
‘I got some cocoa! D’you wanna come upstairs?’ Angel asked heading up the stairs.
‘What, you just carry cocoa around in you’re back pocket?’ Dawn asked very confused and following Angel.
‘No. I live here, dummy.’
‘What ? Here?’
‘Yeah. Not much, but it suit’s me.’
‘Yeah, with no windows’
‘Yeah. Come upstairs,’ Angel offered then said quietly, ‘I can’t believe how much you remind me of Buffy’
‘Buffy? Really?’ Dawn asked, not sure whether to be happy about that comparison or not.
‘Dawn you are the double of Buffy but with dark hair..’
‘No! I’m way prettier.’
‘Typical Teenager.’
‘Hey!’
‘By the way why did you think I was Angelus?’
‘You said that to the vamp.’
‘It was just to save you. Good thing I was there, then,’ Angel said opening one of the doors.
‘Hey. I have fought a load of vamps which all ended dusty.’
The two friends walked in the door and sat down at the table and chatted about old times.
