Disclamiers...i don't own buffy and the song is by john legend

But i hope you enjoy

I hit the bar every night
Looking to score a good time
It's not like I planned it
I'm left empty handed
'Cause im still alone in my mind
Now what will it take to feel right
Can I come see you tonight?
Is there someone new now?
What can I do now?
'Cause I need you back by my side.

"It's not fair, why did she have to die", Willow cried clinging to Xander as a life line. It wasn't fair. The world keeps spinning while her best friend died saving the world and no one even batted an eye. The days were longer and laughter was only a distant memory. If Buffy was in this situation she would have been strong but that was not the case. It has been nearly four months from the day and everyone still acted as if it was only yesterday. They went patrolling every night with the Buffy-Bot and Soike. Sometimes it seems like she was their small witty friend and like nothing changed but it was a lie. But they had to keep up appearances for the underworld because a slayer not guarding the hell mouth was just asking for trouble.

Lately Willow couldn't stop thinking about her best friend. She wondered if Buffy was suffering somewhere like angel had a long time ago. Sure they buried her, but what if her soul was trapped in some alternative hell dimension. She had to help her, if it was her Buffy would have done nothing less. She made a vow that she was going to bring her friend back. After all, nothing was written in stone.

I'll save you Buffy I promise, she thought.

Willow wasn't the only one that was taking Buffy death hard. Dawn wouldn't talk to anyone but Soike. When forced to talk the girl would throw constant fits of rage. She didn't want to be here, either. Everything was a constant reminder of her strong brave older sister who sacrificed her life for something that wasn't even real. Sure she was a walking breathing fourteen year old girl but thirteen years had been made up. She was a ball of energy that should have died instead. Dawn went to the kitchen to get away from everyone sorrows. She didn't need theirs; she had enough of her own. Turning into the kitchen she was hit by a memory of Buffy. It was no secret they didn't get along; too much alike and know she knew why. She wrapped her arms around her as it replayed in her head.

Buffy found her trying to cut herself after finding out the truth. It seems like only yesterday when Buffy grabbed the knife and cut herself to prove her point. "It's Summer's blood, you are my sister, you see this it's Summers blood", Buffy cried as she looked pleading into Dawns eyes for her to understand.

Dawn gave a bittersweet smile as she thought back to the first time she actually felt like she belonged.

'The monks made her out of me', she remembered her sister saying.

"Be strong. Be brave, life for me", was the last thing her sister said to her before taking the jump.

She wished she could just say 'I love you', one more time, or if she wouldn't have been a self righteous ass during those last few months. She was just so full of regrets, so full of self hatred but she knew in time she had to be strong because that was what her big sis would have wanted. With that thought she poured her a glass of orange juice, walked past the Scoobies and headed up stairs.

"Dawnie, do you need anything", Willow asked getting up to move towards Dawn desperately.

Dawn closed her eyes in frustration. She was so tired of being treated like a china doll. 'lil old Dawn' this or 'poor Dawn that'. She opened her eyes to see that Willow was closer to her reaching out her hands. Dawn jerked back. "I'm fine', she huffed. "Leave me alone", she screamed stomping her way to her bedroom and slamming the door. She couldn't deal with this anymore those people was delusional. Between that Buffy-Bot and the Scoobies she didn't know how much more she could take. She liked living here but she couldn't anymore. She picked up the phone and paced the room as she waited anxiously for the person to answer.

"Hey", she said in a week voice.

"Dawn. How are you, are you okay do you need anything", asked the person on the other side of the phone.

"yea actually, I need a place to stay, I can't live like this; their insane", she cried softly into the receiver.

"I'll come get you; stay put kiddo", came the reply.

"No", Dawn screamed franticly, "I'll come to you. If they found out", she trailed off.

"I don't like this but I guess I'll see you when you get here".

The next morning was a bright beautiful day for Sunnydale, California. It was a great day to be in California. The birds were chirping and it was a marvelous day for a picnic except for the fact that it was a school day. The Buffy-Bot was down stairs making sandwiches while the Scoobies were having an impute Scooby meeting.

"You guys this isn't working, we can pretend all you want but we need Buffy back", Willow said simply and after a moment of silence she add, "The real one. I say we bring her back".

"Whoa Will I love Buff as much as you do but this –this is wrong we can't do this", he jumped up pleading that she would change her mind because if she didn't then he knew that he would follow Will into anything because that was his best friend.

"Yes. We can, I'm strong enough to bring her back, but I need your help. We could take a vote but the longer we take the longer Buffy suffers in hell", she agured.

"How do you know she's in hell", asked Anya.

Willow exploded, "you saw that portal she went through, and sure we buried her body but what about her soul", she stressed. "If it was us Buffy would do the same thing", she reasoned.

"Well", Anya started pondering the information before adding, "yea your right that girl sure was crazy….that's why you guys were friends, I wouldn't risk my live for anyone but maybe Xander so we can have thank you sex".

"Ah…thanks An I think that was the sweetest thing you have every said", Xander stated smiling down at his girlfriend which caused Willow to frown because he was missing the big picture.

"I think Willow should be president but I still think it's too dangerous", Tara said as she looked at her girlfriend. She wanted Willow to know she supported her no matter what but she held a hint of worry in her gaze. Willow just smiled back and leaned down to kiss her.

"well I'm game", Xander announced 100 percent backing Willow.

"I have all the stuff, all I need is the urn and we are good to go. Anya can you get it since you do inventory at the shop", asked Willow.

Just when Anya nodded there was a loud ear wrenching scream pieced threw the walls and all the Scoobies ran upstairs to find the source. They found the Buffy-Bot in Dawn's bed room but no Dawn.

"Ah Buffy Where's Dawnie", asked Willow looking around seeing half of her closet clean and an unmade bed.

"I don't know I looked everywhere, I found a note she ran away and I thought the appropriate thing to do is to scream. Why don't she like me, I'm an awesome sister", explained the roBot.

Everybody just tuned her out still trying to grasp the concept of Dawn running away.

"So not the time", whispered Willow rolling her eyes at dawn dramatics.
