Dawn Summers' Journal Entry 6-15-03
"Two and a half weeks and we're still here in L.A., and no one knows why. Everyone figured that we would have shipped out by now. Wes and Giles have come to some agreement on how they will build and lead the new watcher's council. The new slayers have all started to head off on their own. Some back to their homes, some out into the world to protect and serve. Of course, they'll stay in touch and will eventually be provided watchers. Willow and Kennedy split up, no one saw that one coming, lol. Buffy and Angel have started to get a little more intimate since we arrived. They're out fighting the night in record breaking fashion, with the help of Angel's newly aquired company. I don't know how that happened, I don't really even want to ask how Angel became the head of a company that large. Andrew left today, saying something about going back to the ruins of Sunnydale to try and recover pieces of whatever hope remained. He tried to make it sound all brave and valiant, but I know he's just going back to try and find his comic collection. Angel's crew has taken to the scoobies, and if not for the hellmouth, we might stay here. Hell, I want to stay here. Faith and Willow are staying here. Faith wants to stay and help rebuild the watcher's council with Wes, something about making sure another, "Faith situation," didn't occur. Willow wants to stay because of Fred, who would of thought Fred and Willow would of, oh wait, so much in common, who could of missed it. Robin is staying, he and Gunn have formed a tight nit pair, and he wants to stay close to Faith. Robin also has a new principal job here in LA, Angel pulled some strings with his company. Cordelia is gone, all Angel would say was that she was in a safe place getting taken care of, and then walked away really upset, Lorne told me not to ask. Now Lorne, there's someone I can get along with. He read me yesterday and wouldn't quit smiling. I told him I couldn't sing, but I sung some Sex Pistols song that Spike had made me memorize the summer Buffy had died. Lorne mentioned something about Spike, then something about Andrew, it was all weird. Then he smiled really big and told me that I was going to be happy in the future, and did so with that wink and nod that let you know he meant more than that. Everyone is starting to come out of their grieving stages, slowly, and conversations are getting easier. The building is full of laughter. Angel has given us free reign of the hotel, hell, he told us we could have it and live here.
Speaking of laughter though, my bedfellow has found his smile again. He wakes me up every morning with some kind of joke or silly face. We tickle fight some nights and some nights we talk. Even Xander's serious side is funny, and, kinda cute. He thinks I'm special, he tells me so everyday, and beautiful. Buffy and Willow noticed our rooming situation and got nosey, but backed off after I explained his nightmares. Of course, I didn't mention he hadn't had one in weeks. He told me that I reminded him of someone, but couldn't remember who, and then he told me, I remind him of his dream girl."
Xander Harris' Journal entry 6-15-03
"I woke up this morning and had an epiphany. I don't have to be sad anymore, I have a best friend that won't let me be. So I woke her up and just laughed with her for forever. I've been having some odd dreams lately though, and it makes me wonder if my bedding situation is ok. I'm beginning to dream of her. She's laying right beside of me, and yet, I'm dreaming of her. She is my life now, and I think I'm going to ask her to stay in LA with me, when everyone leaves. We have the hotel free of charge thanks to Angel. I can't even put into words how sorry I am for ever giving him or Spike such a hard time, but then again, I'd never tell them that. I told Dawn though, that I did like Spike, he had almost became like that brother that you fight with to me. Oh yeah, Willow and Buffy talked to me about sleeping in the same bed with Dawn, they were wigged. Some reason though, they backed off. I don't know what's up with that. Oh, Angel and I actually had a conversation about things, and I never could have imagined we could get along so well. Oh, and Buffy's cookie dough, lol. I'll never let her live it down."
