Plot: Post-NFA, prelude to a NFA fic I'm currently working on. Emails in Willow's inbox.

Author's note: FF .net hates me. I swear it does. When I wrote this story, I didn't realize didn't allow emails in the stories, and that pretty much screws this to heck. I'm frustrated and angry. And I am finally going to use my Livejournal account for something. You can view my story in proper form here: livejournal. com/users/moopytteld/489 .html

Take out the space between the . and the html and the space between . and com and it should work.

Or you can continue to read the crappy fake email things. It would bother me, were I reading it, so I recommend jumping over to my journal, but your choice. Feedback is craved.

Subject: Dawn

Willow. She's gone completely loony. Either she's going on about wanting to go back to America or she's going on about her new boyfriend. As if he isn't just after sex. I've seen the way he stares at her chest. She just doesn't understand guys yet. I told her so and she just looked at me strangely and said that she'd be back by 1:00 AM. 1 in the morning! I'm not even kidding. How old does she think she is? If I hadn't been a vampire slayer who had to sneak out at least once a week, Mom would have never allowed it, could you imagine what she would say to Dawn?

And if she's not off with her boyfriend, she's being all geeky with Andrew. Apparently it is because she'd rather watch Stargate SG-1 on DVD in English than Friends in Italian. God I hope she doesn't become like Andrew. Can't Xander take him on his road-trip or something? Andrew and I are unmix-y things. Giles should of known that when he asked him to live with us. I so think that he was stalking me one night a couple of weeks ago. It was wiggy in a big way. When he got back from his "double-as-in-two-girls-at-once-date" he was all curious about my date with the Immortal (who Dawn has decided that it would be cute to call the Immortal Bore—I could kill her.) and asking if I'd seen anyone I knew. It was creepy.

Anyway, could you please email (or talk to) Dawn about whatshisface?

Subject: Buffy

Umm... First of all, hi, and thank you for the email! I'm glad you didn't make it dawn(a) magickgirl. net even though when it emails you, I'm sure it shows that it's from "Dawnie."

How are things between you and Kennedy? Have you broken up yet? If you haven't then well, I guess I'm happy that you two are still a functioning couple. If you have, well then I'm so sorry that you have, but she wasn't good enough for you anyways. Are you sick of all the poisonous animals in South America and ready to go to the LAWC, so I have someone who can "watch" me properly? You are the only Buffy would let me live with. Well, maybe Giles, but he's already got the thousands-of-slayers-that-he-has-to-train-thing going on. Moving on...

Buffy is like physco girl. I'm her little baby Dawn that isn't allowed to do ANYTHING. I thought the other day she'd finally got off her little tirade, but I was WAY wrong. I was going out with my new boyfriend and she didn't say I had to be back at like 11. I asked to stay out until about 3-ish and she said okay. Freaky, much? I, of course, thought hell had froze over or she'd just gotten back from a VERY good date from the IB (Immortal Bore—I've never met a more uninteresting person in my life, so I've concluded Buffy must be with him for the sex) and was still dazed. Whatever it was, I just decided to take advantage of it. So we were out at a club, dancing, having fun (no drinking, I swear—been there, done that and puked all over the most gorgeous guy I've ever met, and not looking to revisit) when I glanced over at the bar, who should I see, but Andrew. And, you know, Andrew's not really the clubbing type. So I went over to him, and he totally slipped into major geek-cover-up-mode. It turns out Buffy sent him out to spy on us, because she was convinced that we were having sex. Long story short, I'm more pissed at Buffy thinking she can run my life than Andrew, her helpless pawn. Besides, if I got mad at Andrew I would lose my way to watch American television (even if it is Stargate SG-1). Have you ever seen Friends in Italian? That is so not Courtney Cox's voice. I don't see why Buffy loves watching it so much.

Will you please, please tell her to tone down the over-protective parent? It is the most annoying thing ever.

Subject: Next meeting

Willow,

I'm just emailing you to remind you our next meeting is this Thursday. We will be trying out some new mediation techniques that Marie has found.

Kennedy, as always, is welcome to come, as long as she doesn't snort in the middle of one of our spells. None of us are upset about it; we understand that she had acid reflux and hope she is feeling much better.

Subject: Buffy and Dawn

Willow, they've dragged me into the middle of one of their sister arguments. It's like being in the middle of two Jedi with light-sabers going at it. I'm going to get sliced in half! Please stop them. And could you recommend to Mr. Giles that I go back on service for the council, before Buffy and Dawn get all slice-y?

Subject: Mr. Giles's note

Hello, Willow! It's Vi. Say hi to Kennedy for me, will you? Mr. Giles asked me to type up this note for you, because he couldn't bear to "try and work one of those newfangled devices." He also said that the computer is out to get him, because last time he tried to use one, it restarted on him. So until we get a secretary, I'm in charge of sending emails. I even got an official email, from the Los Angeles Watcher's Council website, which Kat made for him. He wouldn't let me get a cool email though. He wanted it to be all official-like. Whatever. Anyways, here's the note:

"Hello, Willow, I would have phoned, but your cell phone is unreachable. I'm having Vi type this and send this through 'email,' and as much as I hate computers, I just simply don't have the time to wait for this to reach you through the post system. I've done a bit more research on the Shanshu prophecy and I'm afraid what we feared may be true. 'The vampire with a soul' is indeed a key player in the upcoming apocalypse. The wording of 'vampire with a soul' is problematic, now that we have learned Spike is alive. The prophecy could refer to either of the vampires. My personal belief is that it Angel that the text refers to, because he has had his soul the longest. This worries me as I am unsure that Angel is working on the side of good. His recent taking over of the Wolfram and Hart offices suggests that he isn't. However, Andrew's report said that Angel and his crew, including Spike, showed no 'inclination to the dark side of the force.' I believe we should, however, keep researching the Shanshu, and what it means, and be wary of Angel and Spike, for the time being.
Tell Kennedy hello,
Giles"

Um... I guess that's it. Wow. I didn't know all that stuff. I guess I shouldn't tell anyone about it then, huh? Giles says if you can't get to him by phone, send an email to me. Oooh, g2g, dinner time!

You activated hundreds of new slayers? Put me down in the "huh?" column. That had to take a massive amount of power; you didn't go evil again did you?

Subject: Greetings from America!

Ahhh. It's so nice to be back in America. After the refreshingly clean air of Africa, I could use some smog. But, TV! Great country, the US of A, isn't it? Trading air for the brain-numbing experience of Paris and Nicole on the Simple Life. How are you and Kennedy doing on the Brazilian front? You're coming back soon with your mini-army soon, aren't you? We've got that whole Shanshu thing to work on. And I hate to say this Wil, but once you get here I'm gonna hafta do the I-told-you-so dance. I knew Angel was evil.

Have you gotten email from Buffy and Dawn, yet? They are going to kill each other if left to their own devices. I'd say it's time for a good ol' fashioned Scoobie intervention, but then I'd have to remember that you're in Brazil, I'm in California, and Buffy and Dawn are in Rome. So much for that. Perhaps you can like spiritually project yourself into Andrew or something. He won't mind, Andrew'll probably think it's something straight off Star Wars or something. I hate to admit it, but I'm almost on Buffy's side on the whole matter. I guess the thought of Dawn dating and staying out until three bothers me. Still... I guess she's growing up. Huh. Remember when she used have a crush on me?
