Chapter 5:Overprotected

After going through wedding dress hell, the gang decided to head back home all except buffy of course because of the whole slayer deal.

"Please! Please! Can't I go with you? I'll stay out of your way I SWEAR!"
Dawn pleaded.

"Sorry, Dawny, It's just too dangerous." Buffy walked off.

"I's not far I'm almost 16 years old and I still am treated like a kid." Dawn ccomplained all the way home.

When they finally got home Spike was on the front porch smoking a cigerette.

"Hey there Nibblet, where's your big sis?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know!"

"What's wrong Nibblet?" In her sweetest voice she politely answered,

"My dumb sister, out patrolling and said I couldn't go cause it was 'too dangerous.'"

"She's right you know." Dawn screamed and ran up to her room.

"Boy she sure is pissed off." Spike smiled and took off.

(I'd like to thank EmmyLou for this song request.)

Dawn was in psition and ready.

I need time, love, joy
I need space, love
I need... me
Action!

Say hello to the girl that I am
You're gonna have to see through my perspective
I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am
And I don't wanna be so damn protected
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers...

CHORUS

What am I to do with my life?
(You will find it out don't worry)
How am I supposed to know what's right?
(You just gotta do it your way)
I can't help the way I feel
But my life has been so overprotected

I tell them what I like, what I want and what I don't
But everytime I do, I stand corrected
Things that I've been told, I can't believe what I hear about the world
I realize I'm overprotected
There must be another way
'Cause I believe in taking chances
But who am I to say
What a girl is to do
God I need some answers...

CHORUS - repeat

I need time... love... I need space

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I what what what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no, no... nobody's telling me just what I wanna... do do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me...

CHORUS - repeat

I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna
What I what, what, what I'm gonna do about my destiny
I say no no... nobody's telling me just what I wanna... do do
I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me

CHORUS - repeat

Dawn laughed.
