***letters***

These are the letters Buffy wrote us before she died.

--Willow



Willow,

By now this letter is kind of unneeded. Tomorrow night will decide all, but I wanted to give you this as a final link. If everything goes as planned, you'll still be seeing me. But I can't help but think that nothing ever goes as planned for us.

I just wanted to tell you that I love you. You're the best friend I could ever have wished for. I hope that you and Tara continue to work things out and live a wonderful life together. I'm so proud of you giving up magic. It helped us so much when we needed it, and now that we don't as much, it's great that you were able to give it up.

I want to ask you a giant favor. You've always been there for me when I needed you, and I really need you now. Please watch out for Dawn. I worry about her so much. I know that she'll be safe with you. I probably didn't even need to ask. I'll just feel better knowing you'll be there when I can't.

I need to go. I have to write everyone else before tomorrow night. This letter doesn't begin to tell you what I want to say. I owe you so much, Willow. I owe you Angel's soul, my life; soon I'll owe you so much more. I love you, girl. Say hey to Oz if you ever see him again. I hope this isn't really goodbye, but if so, I can only say I love you again.

--Buffy



Giles,

There is so much that I want to say to you. You're that most important person in my life. My Watcher. My friend. The only father I ever really knew. There is so much I want to say and I don't know where to start. You were always there for me when I needed you, while I was gone so often when you needed me. I'm so sorry for that.

I owe you so much. I would be dead years ago if not for you. I love you, Giles. I never knew anyone like you. Your stuffiness. Your ability to rattle off terms and demon names. One of a kind. I'll miss you.

I know that deep down you don't want me to be turned. Thank you for not saying anything. For backing me up to the very end. Like always,

Have a good life, Giles. Never loose hope. Remember that I love you. Always.

--Buffy



Dawn,

Hey, hon., how are you? Ok, stupid question. I think that I'm going to miss you the most. I mean, come on, you're my sister. I've technically only lived three years with you, but I've known you forever. The love in my heart doesn't lie.

I've asked Willow to watch out for you after tomorrow night. I want you to behave. Yeah, I know, always the bossy older sister. You're probably pissed at me, but don't be. I'll still be around, just not as much.

I love you so much. I know that you never asked for this life, being a key and the sister to a Slayer. I want you top know that I'm proud of you. I don't show it as much as I should, but I am proud. I love you Dawn. I'll always be there to watch over you.

--Buffy



Xander,

Where would I be today without you? You've always kept my feet on the ground. Without you, there would be no Scooby group. Your quick wit and humor have kept us going when things looked the darkest. Not to mention the endless supply of doughnuts. (Just kidding.)

I want you to know how much I admire and respect you. Don't tell Anya, but under different circumstances, I would have been proud to go out with you. Don't I have the best timing for these revelations? But seriously, you're a great guy and Anya is lucky.

I hope you and Anya have a great life together. Take care of yourself, ok? Promise me that you'll look out for everybody. And never, ever loose your spark for life.

--Buffy

Well, that's it, folks. Please review, even just to tell me that it sucked and never to write again. I really want to know what you think. Thanks.
