Cordelia peeked over Anya's shoulder. "What're you doing?"
"Since there's nothing better to do, I'm going over wedding plans," she replied flipping through bridal magazines.
"Oh really?" said Cordy excitedly pulling up a chair. "What's your color scheme going to be?"
"I'm going between burgundy and aqua," said Anya holding up the colors.
Cordy took them in distaste. "Yuck! Are you crazy? The burgundy makes the room seem smaller, especially when you're using that little old chapel down the street. Now the aqua, if you went a shade or five different would might be tolerable. But what I'd really like is royal blue."
"Oh, I never thought about that." Anya picked up another magazine. "What do you think about the China selections?"

Dawn walked uneasily into the warehouse. Through an open doorway, she saw Connor standing in front of a broken piece of mirror. She was about to go through the door, but stopped to eavesdrop. His hand was scratching his head nervously. "Hey, Dawn. I was just. . .heading over to the movies. Do you want to come?" Connor stopped and smacked his forehead. "Stupid!"
Dawn decided to go in, trying not to smile too much. She knocked over a cardboard box before heading in. He looked shocked. "Sorry." She got closer to him. "Um, you might wanna come with me."
"Why?" he asks placing the mirror behind another box.
"We have an. . .issue. Or. . problem. And we all, really, really, really, really need you to. . .cometotheMagicBoxandtalkwiththegang. Please."
"What?"
"Come to the Magic Box and talk with the gang."
"No way," he said picking a shirt off of the floor.
"But. Why?"
"Because."
Dawn followed him around the room. "Because why?"
"Because why do you need me there?"
"Because there's a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"I. . . I'm not allowed to tell."
"Well, then forget it," he walked into the other room and slammed the door.
Dawn stood there for a moment, and then got up the courage to follow. She whipped opened the door and it banged violently against the wall. "Oops." She focused her attention on him. "Okay, I understand that you've been alone almost all your life. But you have people, darn good people, who care about you now. So there's no time to be your 'lone Hunter of the Shadow' because you're not alone anymore." She let that sink in. "Plus Cordelia had a vision that something bad was going to happen to you and I really don't want anything bad to happen to you."
He breathes a heavy sigh. "All right. I'll go." Dawn smiles.
"Wow, that was touching," said Buffy, stepping out from the shadows.
Dawn tried to grab Connor and go the other way, but Angelus was there. "I haven't been that choked up since, well. . .literally taken. Bad example."
The Destroyer looked at her oddly. "Okay, I guess now would be the time to tell you the problem. My sister's a vampire and Angelus is back." Then she screamed.
