"To tell you the truth forever." She said with a smile.

Buffy snapped out of her world, and turned to face her sister, with shock written all over her face.

"What do you mean forever. What about school? Dawn you are not going to end up like me. You are going to finish university."

Spike was shocked, but really hopped that what Dawn was saying was true and that Buffy wouldn't persuade her to do otherwise.

"Look, I am not dropping out. I found a way to finish my studies and stay here in New York with you guys."

"And how, in the name of God are you going to do that?"Now she was angry. Dawn had a bright future ahead of her and she wouldn't let her throw it away for no one, especially herself.

"If you let me finish, I will tell you what I have decided to do. I checked the universities nearby and found that of the ones that had Law as a major, five were too expensive to go to but three were bearable. So I talked with Giles and he liked the idea of finishing my studies back at the US, 

then I talked to my professors explaining them my decisions and found most of them very supportive. I applied for all the three universities just before Christmas…"

"You have been planning this for three months now. I just can't believe it. Why didn't you tell me anything, why would you want to leave Oxford? And Giles? Don't let me get my hands on him. He is a dead man. "

"We didn't ambush you. If this is what you think. Actually I have been thinking about moving back ever since Angel died. When I came to visit in September I found you catatonic and then it was when the idea came to me. On my return to England I started the whole procedure. I didn't want to tell you anything until I was sure I would be accepted. I didn't want to give you false hope. "

"So, love let's see if I understand you correct. We are going to have the pleasure of your company and you can finish university so big sis here won't flip out completely. Did I get it right?"

Spike just got his voice back and wanted badly to straighten out what they were saying.

"Yes" Dawn said smiling.

Spike kissed her on the cheek and gave her a hug.

"It is good to have you back. Now big boy, would you like to go and watch cartoons together so that the two sisters can clear everything up." He lifted the boy from his seat.

"Yes, uncle Spike can we watch X-men I like that they have superpowers like mommy and you."

Spike looked at Buffy to get her approval before he responded to Liam. Buffy nodded at him in approbation.

"Ok, love we can watch whatever you like" the two "men" headed at the living room.

"That leaves the two of us, although I like your idea to come and stay here with us. I think we have one big problem the intuition. You see in Oxford you had Giles and also a scholarship but here, here it is a whole different thing. We could always take from Angel's money but with him gone I don't find it very right"

"When I said I had everything worked out, I wasn't kidding. You see for the past years that I have been living in England I have been working and with the currency working at our side for every pound that I have made it is changed into two dollars. So from what I have made all these years I can pay my own intuition"

"Wow . . . as I recall you never saved money. Where is my sister? Where have you taken her?"Buffy stood up and hugged her sister

"I love you sweetie and I am so proud of you, mom would be too."

A tear lingered in their eyes, for all their loss. Just then Liam and Spike burst into laughter so the sisters hugged one more time and went to join the loves of their lives.

"Are you my girl?"

"Always"she responded smilling, looking at the demons ahead
