AUTHOR'S NOTE: Welcome to the Dawn Chronicles, inspired by Xander's quote in Season 5's "Blood Ties" :
Buffy: She tore up her room ... she burned all of her diaries. (Moves across the screen to sit in a chair by the table)
Xander: The Dawnmeister Chronicles?
Willow : She's been keeping those since ... (pauses, looks confused) I mean...
Buffy: Since she was seven. I remember too, Will.
Basically this will be what I think Dawn's diares would say, so enjoy. The chapters will be short: one per episode/ entry. This first chapter has a few entries because it deals with what happened before the first episode. Review please.
Mom and Dad are getting a divorce. My parents are going to be divorced. This is all Buffy's fault; ever since she started sneaking out of the house late at night mom and dad have been fighting. This is so unfair. They wouldn't even tell me why. They just said they couldn't work things out. I can hear Buffy crying her room,maybe its not her fault after all. I think I'll go talk to her.
He cheated.
We're moving. I can't believe mom. Why would she do this to us? Move me away from all my friends; all the way to Sunnydale, Calafornia. Its apparently this small little town or something, where all there is to do for fun is probably tip cows. Mom said we needed a fresh start and she thought it would be nice to get away from the craziness of life in L.A. I think the real reason is because Buffy got expelled. She burned down her school gymnasium. Who does that? Oh right Buffy that's who. I'm not going.
I told mom I wasn't moving and I don't think she liked the idea much. She didn't say no but there was a lot of yelling. I don't care though I'm still not going. I'll run away or baricade myself in my room.
I have moved by mistake. I was determined to stay in LA and yet somehow I ended up stuck in a car for 5 hours headed twoards Sunnyhell. This is all Buffy's fault; I'm never letting her near matches again.
Review please...next chapter Welcome to the Hellmouth
