Chapter 1 Class issues
"I'm tired of this conversation Dawn. There are lots of good colleges here in Italy." Buffy said she was tired and a little frustrated with her sister.
Dawn had managed to yet again steer their discussion to move back to America. She want to go to a college in California, she had her mind set on UCLA.
"Buffy, come on like you don't miss home."
"Home, was in Sunnydale, which is no longer on the map Dawn. And as for missing it let me think the vamps, demons and lets not forget that Hellmouth. No I don't miss it." Buffy was getting more and more frustrated.
Dawn started to leave the room but mumbled, "I bet that's not the only reason."
Buffy heard this and became angry "Do you want to shove that in to English Dawn."
Dawn stood at the door looking at the frame she couldn't look at her sister. Partly because she was angry and partly because her sister was mad.
"I think there are only two reason why you don't want to go back and their vampires. Dawn turn around to face Buffy crossing her arms. "I think your stopping me from going not to protect me from demons in LA. You're protecting yourself, in case you see Angel or Spike."
With that Dawn left the room and went to her bedroom, slamming every door on the way.
Buffy was left sitting gob smacked, she realised that Dawn was right she was being selfish. She waited for Dawn to cool down before going to speak to her again, Buffy had decided that Dawn should be allowed to study were she wanted to. L A is a big town she may not even run into Angel.
Dawn's bedroom in Rome
Dawn was sitting on her bed look at college booklets. She picked up the booklet for UCLA; she studied the pictures of the college then threw it on the floor. "About as close as I'll get there!"
She heard a soft knock at the door before Buffy entered the room. "We need to talk." Buffy picked up the UCLA booklet and sat next to Dawn on her bed. "Look's like a good school." Buffy said in a gentle tone "Dawn what you said really pissed me off. I ..."
Dawn look at Buffy and interrupted "If you think I'm going to apologise ..."
"No Dawn, that's not what... It pissed me off cause what you said was true. I didn't want to go to LA because of certain people who I would like to avoid. I was being selfish, I'm sorry; I came to tell you I've changed my mind."
Dawn looked shocked she was so happy she hugged Buffy "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you."
