A/N Dawn writes two letters, a fake normal one for school and real supernatural one for herself. This is the Supernatural Letter
Dear Dawn,
Wow it feels weird writing that. I'm not sure I'm going to make it through Glory trying to kill me. So this whole letter could be for nothing, but something inside me knows that somehow Buffy will always save and protect me. Anyway, If I do survive and it is ten years in the future, I'll be out of college and hopefully working in the real world like Xander instead of hiding in the Supernatural World like Buffy, Willow, Tara, and Anya. I hope I'm happy, that I finally find that person who cares more about me than Buffy. I hate the fact that everything and everyone is always about Buffy. Mom actually told me before she died to take care of Buffy. Hello she's way older than me; she should be taking care of me. I just hope that I finally find what I'm searching for, a reason for being Dawn and not just some mystical key. That I can finally get out from under Buffy's thumb. I just want to be noticed.
All my Love to Myself,
Dawn from '01
"Wow," Dawn smiled as she refolded the letter and placed it back in the envelope it had been sitting in for ten years.
"Hey Dawn, I have a problem in the kitchen," came a voice from downstairs.
"Okay I'll be there in a moment sweetie." Dawn grinned as she shut her old trunk and started walking downstairs to her husband. She had found exactly what she was looking for. She was a successful fashion designer with a doting husband, who accepted Buffy and her weird lifestyle without being attracted to her. Best of all she thought as she came into the kitchen to an intense kiss, she rubbed her stomach. I finally get to be the one taking care of someone else. "Are you still having problems with the soufflé Andrew?"
