Sunnydale
Dawn merrily skipped into the Magic Box. She couldn't wait to find out what Buffy's 'heart's desire' was. Instead of seeing Buffy looking blissfully happy, though, she saw Willow and Tara at the table, which was covered in books. She stopped in confusion.
"Hey guys, what's wrong?" She said as she looked around the store for Buffy. She was probably down in the basement. Dawn moved toward the table. "Where's Buffy?"
Willow and Tara shared a look. A look that screamed 'maybe we shouldn't tell her' Dawn waited.
"Umm, well, she's kinda, gone." Willow finally uttered. "But she'll be back real soon." She added unconvincingly.
"Gone? Not invisible?"
"No, no, just, disappeared." Tara said.
"That's not all. Angel's disappeared too. We think they may be connected." Willow went back to researching. Dawn stood there for a moment, her mind furiously denying that she had anything to do with it.
"Do, do you have any idea what caused this?"
Willow shook her head.
"We're leaning towards the possibility of travel to another dimension, but it could be anything. Wesley's working on it in LA"
Dawn settled into one of the chairs and grabbed a book. As she began leafing through it, her mind raced, worried about herself and her sister. At that moment, Hallie appeared.
"Oh dear lord, what are the three of you doing, stuck inside with these dusty books!" She exclaimed. Dawn panicked.
"Hallie, wh what are you doing here?"
"I came to see how that little spell I did on Buffy worked out? Did it work? Is she happier now?"
Willow and Tara both turned to stare at Dawn. She tried to smile.
"Ok, ok, I confess, I asked Hallie to make Buffy happy, because she's always moping around and it spoils my good mood. I didn't know she was gonna go poof!"
You should have told us Dawnie." Tara said with disappointment. Another Dawn screw up, she thought. However much she loved her, she couldn't help but grow tired of her messing up every week. Willow stood up and asked Hallie in a forceful tone
"Undo whatever spell you've done and bring Buffy back."
Hallie looked at Dawn who nodded in approval.
"Fine, the spell is ended."
They all waited, fully expecting Buffy to reappear. She didn't.
"Try again" urged Willow.
"The spell is ended." No sign of Buffy. "The SPELL IS ENDED!" Hallie shouted, impatiently. No Buffy. She turned to her horrified audience. "Well this is strange."
"Keep trying." Willow ordered as she walked to the phone.
