A/N: Hi, I'm back. I know I've been away for a while but I've been busy and haven't had time to write much. Ok, this chapter is going to be a short one cause I'm just posting it to make you happy and to keep you occupied while I write more. I must admit, Charlotte is a bit based on me as you will see in the next few chapters. For example, the sort of music I like and the subjects I like at school. But in other ways she is different. I'm gonna post another one of my finished stories soon which I actually wrote about 2 years ago. It's still a B/S one but it is quite sad at the end. Also I was going through the phase where I loved the musical Miss Saigon (which I still adore) and Moulin Rouge (which is one of my fave films). Anyway, enough from me and on with the story!

"Come in, come in." Buffy said, ushering Willow inside. Willow took her bags through to the living room and hung her coat up in the living room to dry. Going into the kitchen she saw Charlotte.

"Charlie! How's my favourite niece?" Willow cried, hugging Charlotte.

"I'm fine thanks." Charlotte answered as Willow finally let her go, enabling her to breathe. What was it with everyone and such strong hugs?

Willow smiled and started rummaging around her handbag. "I have a little present in here for you somewhere…" she said as she hunted around. "Aha!" She pulled out a paper bag and handed it to Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled and accepted the present, carefully unwrapping it and revealing a necklace inside a clear jewellery case. It was beautiful. Inside the case was a sterling silver necklace with a treble clef pendant, encrusted with tiny diamonds.

"Oh my…" Charlotte stuttered, unable to get words out of her mouth. "This must have cost a fortune!"

Willow smiled. "I've been saving up. A little bird told me that you were singing in the National Youth Voice Contest so I thought you'd need a little luck."

Charlotte grinned. "Thanks a lot, Will!" She exclaimed, hugging Willow tighter than ever. Through all her troubles Willow was still one of Charlottes best friends and the necklace told her so.

A/N: Ok, I know it was short. I have a treble clef pendant which gave me the inspiration for the present and the fact that Charlotte is a singer is also based on me because I have been singing all my life. Thanks for reading. More up soon and please please please review. Loadsa love from Arwen
