Moving in

Dear diary

moved into Sunnydale, fingers crossed for the best.


We saw our new house today for the first time; well the first time for me and Buffy, mum had already seen it. It seemed nice enough though very different from our home in LA. As I walked inside I paused to look around, stupid really, giving Buffy the chance to look for the best bedroom. When I came upstairs Buffy had already dumped her stuff in the middle-sized room; leaving me with the smallest.

I sighed and was about to argue, pointlessly, when Buffy turned round and I saw what I thought I would never again see, Buffy looked Happy and maybe a little ... hopeful? I tried to think when I had last seen that, defiantly not since they sent her there. I shuddered at the memory of how she had looked when she came home. Haunted, terrified. She jumped at every shadow; and trusted no- one, no- one but me that is, I guess in the end I was the only person that didn't ridicule her probably because I had (unlike mum and dad) actually seen the vampires. When she first got back Buffy wouldn't talk or even look at them, can't say I really blame her.

Now though she looked optimistic and I dared to smile at her earning a tentative smile back.

"So what you think Dawnie? Sunnydale good, no Vampires, no, no" she paused "no institution" Buffy whispered the last part.

"Sunnydale's good, new start, it'll be great," I hope
