Title: Just a Letter in the Alphabet.

Rating: PG
A/N:I got the idea for this fic from a Dark Angel letter sent to my e-mail. It had a list of challenges. This challenge was a Buffy/Angel/DA challenge.
This challenge was:
Dead Letters Home:
"take a character.
kill him/her.
let him/her write one last letter. it can be to the world. it can be to a particular person. it can be to no one.
s/he's died, and this is all that remains."
The website for this challenge, along with all the fics, is here: http://www.dymphna.net/deadletters/
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Buffy Characters, nor do I own the plot lines. I found the words that Dawn used in 'Once More With Feeling' and that Buffy used in 'The Gift ' on this site: http://www.buffyworld.com/buffy/season6/transcripts/107_tran.shtml
A/N2: This takes place mid 'The Gift' - What if Dawn HAD jumped off that platform to close the portal, instead of Buffy..
Hey guys!!!
Um so this whole 'dead letter' thing is kinda weird, but I'm gonna give it my best shot, so here goes:
I guess when you put this whole little 'death' thing into perspective, you could say that its not really all that bad. I mean come on, I was only around for two years, before I died. So nobody should miss me too much.
OK, so that was kinda harsh, but lets face the facts, I'm only two years old! Well, in theory. In real life, I guess I'm way old, but you guys don't really know me. Hell, I don't even know me. I'm just something that those monks made up. Nothing that anyone remembers.. None of my memories, are real. You'll all survive. You were fine before I came along, and you'll be fine now that I'm gone.
On a more emotional note, I just wanted to apologize for all the crap I've put you guys through....
Anya, sorry for taking stuff from the store. I know it meant you didn't get as much money.. So, sorry. I love you.
Xander, sorry for giving you a hard time, and all, but you're like a brother to me. I love you.
Wills, Keep smiling, I love you.
Tara, watch Wills for me, and keep her magic safe. I love you.
Giles, Thank you for being more of a Dad to me than my own father. I love you.
Spike.... keep loving my sister, and take care of her. Thank you for being my 'brother'. I love you.
Buffy. I love you sis. I know that it's been tough on you since Mom died, and I know I haven't made it any easier. I've been a brat, and you've done your best with me. Thank you for that. You won't ever be alone... You have your true family with you now. Never forget that. I'm with Mom now, so you don't need to worry about me, anymore. I love you.
Buffy, the hardest thing in this world ... is to live in it.
I tried that, and I guess, try to remember me in some super hero type way. I'd like that. To know that I saved the world for once!
I love you all,
Dawn XXX
