Disclaimer: I don't own Dawn, but I do own Sarah Misquicker and Mr. Boger.

Dawn has a new friend that isn't exactly human. What she doesn't know cant hurt her? Or can it?

Dawn is sitting in her Bio class doing some last minute studying for the test she is about to take. The door creaks and she lifts her head from what she was reading to see a girl standing in the doorway with the guidance counselor. She has long brown hair and is wearing a slutty looking outfit.

"Mr. Boger, you have a new student in your class today." Mr. Boger looks up from his pile of papers and walks across the room. "Her name is…um…" obviously the guidance counselor didn't think to check what her name was again before they left the room.

"Sarah Misquicker," she chimed in, rolling her eyes at the lady's inability to learn a simple name and remember it for more than 5 minutes.

She scanned the room, giving each individual a glance. She knew what she was looking for and then Dawn caught her eye.

"Well, you can go take that desk over there, Ms. Misquicker," said Mr. Boger as he pointed toward the desk to the left of Dawn. "We are about to take a test, so you can just sit there quietly and once I am done handing out the tests I will get you a book and you can start to catch up to where we are in it."

Dawn had finished with her test early and had brought it up to the front of the room. As she came back and sat down she leaned over to Sarah. "Hi, I'm Dawn," she whispered.

"I'm Sarah," she stated.

"So where are you from?"

Sarah had to think quickly. "Florida. Tampa Bay, Florida," she responded.

"Wow! That's neat," said Dawn. "I have always wanted to go there. Is it nice there?"

"Yeah, its nice. I miss it."

Mr. Boger cleared his throat and Dawn and Sarah glanced in his direction. He looked at them and they knew that they were supposed to be quiet. "Well, lunch is next period. If you don't have anyone to sit with you can sit with me and my friends," Dawn offered.

"Yeah, sounds good." Sarah was eager to get an invite and was thankful that she wouldn't have to sit all by herself.

The day went on and Sarah learned more and more about Dawn. She was searching for one thing though. She only wanted to know one thing, but she could tell that what she was looking for wasn't information that was going to be just given to her.

Dawn learned more about her too, but it wasn't all true. She had learned her age, birthday, who her parents were and where she lived. She even learned why she had moved from Florida.

By the end of the week Dawn thought that she knew all she could about Sarah and couldn't wait for the weekend to be there. She had invited Sarah over even though she knew that Buffy might object to it.

Dawn walked into Buffy's room. Buffy had been out on patrol all night and Dawn knew that this would be the easiest time to ask her about Sarah coming over.

She nudged Buffy a little, knowing that if she were startled she would toss her across the room like a cat swatting a fly. Buffy had been having dreams lately and they had always ended badly.

Luckily tonight was not one of those nights and Buffy turned to where Dawn was. "Dawn, what is it?" she asked, coming out of her deep sleep.

"Um, I wanna know if I can have a friend over on Saturday night," she speedily asked, hoping for the best.

"You mean…" Buffy searched for the name of Dawn's closest friend.

"Sarah," Dawn quickly slid the name into Buffy's head.

"No, that's not it," she answered.

"No, I mean that's who I want to come over." Dawn sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Buffy's reply.

"I dunno. I don't even know her."

"What better way to get to know her than to have her over?" asked Dawn and justifying it with a, " and I never have anyone over." Dawn had put her puppy dog brown eyes into the works and now there was no way Buffy could say no.

"Oh, okay," was her answer after a long break, "but if anything freak happens she is going straight home."

"Yes!" was Dawn's excited response, "Can she come over right after school?"

"Yeah, whatever you want," Buffy's eyes had begun to slowly close and Dawn could have asked for just about anything at that moment. She walked out of the room and decided that she had better get some sleep too. She knew that tomorrow night was going to be a lot of fun.
