~*Later*~
Julie sat on the couch of the Summer's home in Spike's arms sleeping aswell as him for a short time. Xander was in the recliner asleep. The door opened as Dawn walked in. She flicked the switch on for the light and looked into the living room to see the three.

Dawn walked into the living room, setting her keys down on the side table. Julie stirred a bit from the light coming on. She sat up rubbing her eyes and saw Dawn.

"Dawnie.."She said getting up,"Come with me.." She grabbed her best friend's hand and walked out to the back porch.

"Julie whats going on? why are you guys here? Wheres Manda?" Dawn said starting to panic

"Dawnie.. I don't know how to tell you this but.." Julie fidgeted, "Manda's dead.. I'm not kidding either. I wouldn't like or joke about this."

"what happened" Dawn said as she started to cry. Her voice was a mix of sadness and anger.

"I was coming home and out of nowhere I got attacked and I have this abnormal power and Spike grabbed me, we ran to your house, Manda was dead and the Paramedics said that it was nautral causes." Julie paniced a bit.

"Where is she, i wanna see her" Dawn said as she tried to calm herself down

"I don't know right now." Julie sniffled and hugged Dawn.

"was it like mom?" she asked

"I don't know. We found her on the floor, and they just said natural causes.."

"i wanna see her, im gonna go to the morge" Dawn said

"Dawn, it's closed." Julie said,"Wait till tommorow."

"oh god, where am i gonna go?" she said realizeing that she had nowhere to go

"Xander and I agreed that we're gonna sell the house and you're gonna stay with us." Julie said looking at her best friend,"Don't worry Dawn."

"come with me, theres something i have to do. I gotta go talk to my mom" Dawn said

"Um ok." Julie said grabbing her coat and putting "Mr. Pointy" in her back pocket.

They ventured out into the graveyard and stopped at the "Joyce Summers" plot.

"Hey mommy" Dawn said as she got on her knees and placed her hand on her mothers headstone.

She started to tear up again and just let it all out right then and there.

"You and Manda take care of each other ok" Dawn said

(Ok short I know but suspence does not kill I tell you! lol RR Plz!)
