Chapter Four
Dawn sat in her English classroom. She was trying desperately hard to keep from obsessing over the Buffy/Angel situation. Unfortunately, it didn't work after Deanna, one of Dawn's good friends, brought up how stressful her own life was. Of course, adding to that stress was Deanna's older sister. Since Dawn knew that Deanna wouldn't completely understand the situation, she tried to simplify it for her. She whined about how he wanted to do something big for Buffy and help her out with a guy, but that she wasn't allowed to.
"What did you want to do?" Deanna asked softly.
"I want to get Buffy's ex-boyfriend back into town."
"Oh," Deanna said in a sound of relief that it wasn't something that had an actual death wish attached. "That doesn't sound like it'd be too bad, Dawny."
"Believe me, it would be really bad! It'd practically require a miracle!"
Lindsay, a classmate of Dawn's who frightened Dawn so much that she purposely tried to avoid her, turned toward the two girls at that moment. An evil grin appeared on Lindsay's face, and had she not been at school, Dawn probably would've been running at that moment. Unfortunately, she was at school and there was nothing she could do, except pray that whatever Lindsay planned on doing didn't require a felony or misdemeanor.
"What about magic?" Lindsay asked in an evil, yet enchanted tone.
"What about it?" Dawn retorted sarcastically as if this was the most unusual thing that she'd ever heard of.
"It might help your little 'miracle' along!"
"If it were real," Deanna said as she rolled her eyes at Lindsay's suggestion.
"It is real," Lindsay gritted, scaring Dawn and Deanna. Then, she turned her attention solely to Dawn and smiled. She softened her evil tone of voice to a hypnotizingly sweet and inviting sound. "I know someone, a major witch, who might be able to help you. Interested?"
Dawn silently debated whether or not to trust Lindsay. In her heart, she kept feeling that this was a very good thing and that it could be her only shot to bring Angel back to Buffy. Of course, her head was saying that this was a bad thing. Her head told her that the only thing Lindsay was ever good for was trouble. Dawn knew that her choice could affect not just herself, but everyone in her life. How could Dawn deny this opportunity and still say she's a good sister to Buffy? Still, how could anyone expect her to befriend a suspected criminal in order to keep Buffy happy?
"Yeah, I'm interested," Dawn said convincingly as she saw Lindsay's face light up in extreme excitement. She looked to Deanna, who looked like she was about to die.
Dawn began to lose hope that what she was doing was really a good thing. After all, Buffy would really hate to get Angel back this way, but she couldn't completely convince herself.
"This is for Buffy," she mumbled as she saw both Deanna and Lindsay walk away from her.
