Chapter One :: Goodbye
*-*-*
Buffy walked along the corridor of the house, still only wearing her dressing-gown. She rubbed the back of her neck as she walked and struggled to keep her eyes open, it was way too early. Finally she reached Dawn's room and pounded on the door, then put her ear to it, she only heard Dawn's weak snoring. "Dawn?" She asked, kncoking again, "C'mon, time to get up . . ." There was still nothing. "Uh . . . Come on Dawn!" Then she pounded one more time and walked off.
Dawn heard her quietly and opened her eyes, another wonderful morning in Sunnydale. The sun shone through her light curtains and Dawn turned around with a sigh. She knew what day it was today, the day she was sent to boarding school, and why? Because Buffy thought she might get hurt in the battle that was coming up. Dawn knew stories about boarding-schools, horrible ones, it sounded worse then hell to her. But it might be nice to get away from the scoobies for a while . . .
She sat bolt upright, looking around her room. Then she wiped her eyes and blinked several times, her clock said 7:00 am, this was way to early . . . Unwillingly, she climbed out of bed and walked over to her wardrobe, lookign for some cloths to wear.
About five minutes later she was waiting outside the bathroom in her dressing-gown, waiting for Kenedy to finish. "Anytime now . . ." She grunted, sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor. She could hear the shower goign from inside the room.
"Sorry Dawnie, give me a minute . . ." She said. But Dawn knew one minute in the bathroom to Kenedy was about an hour to any normal person.
Finally, one hour later Dawn walked out of her room, fully ready. Her hair hanging down the sides of her face, she was wearing a dark red top and some old dark jeans. As she walked down the corridor she put her hands behind her neck, trying to put her necklace on.
When she reached the top of the stairs she saw Anya at the bottom, looking up at her. "Oh Dawn," She said, "I was just goin' to come and get you, it's breakfast time!" Dawn nodded and put her thumb up at Anya who smiled and walked off, followed into the kitchen a few seconds later by Dawn herself.
"Hey, Dawn miester is finally up and at 'em!" Xander said, before he shoved a slce of toast in his mouth fully.
"Hello to you too Xander," Dawn said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"How are you Dawn?" Buffy asked, she was pouring some cereal into a bowl, and then she turned round and started to eat it without any milk. "Looking foreword to it?"
"I guess," Dawn said, pouring herself some milk and looking into the glass.
"I think it'll be fun, meeting new people and all that . . ." Andrew said, from the other room, but no-one payed any attention. Suddenly Spike walked into, rubbing his neck and looked up at them all.
"Whao . . ." He said, "Did i interupt the something?"
"Not at all," Xander said, his mouth stuffed full of toast. Spike threw a glance at hima nd Xander covered it, chewing more quietly.
"You come to say goodbye to Dawnie?" Willow asked, sipping some orange juice.
"Why?" Spike asked leaning against the freezer, "Where's she going?"
"You don't know?" Anya asked, looking over to Buffy, "Didn't you tell him?"
Buffy looked down, "Must have forgot, Anyway, Dawn's going to boarding school Spike . . ."
Spike raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Because it will be safer for her," Buffy said, but Spike didn't seem to be listening to that side of the story.
"I heard stories about them places . . ." He said, putting his hands into his coat pockets.
"Spike, are you gonna' shut up or do you want me to open these curtains, eh?" Buffy said, putting her bowl down and lookign at Dawn, who had been silent while they all talked. "You sure your OK?" She asked.
Dawn looked up and shrugged. "Why wouldn't i be?"
"You know you can come visit us, right?" Anya said, looking across the table at Dawn and then at Buffy. "She can, right?"
"Yeah, she comes home at holidays," Xander said, "Umm . . . Buffy, you got anymore bread?"
"God Xander, emotional moment here, do you have to thinka bout food?" Willow said and looked at him in a warning way, She didn't want Dawn to go, it might be more dangerous if she was away from us, but at least she wouldn't be near the hellmouth.
"What time does the bus come again?" Dawn asked.
"In about 15 minutes," Buffy said, "Do you want anything to eat Dawnie?"
"Nah, " She said, she was worried she might puke it back up on the bus. "I'll be fine."
"You hope," Spike said and Buffy and Xander btoh glared at him and he backed off, looking away innocently.
"Shall i go get your bags Dawnie?" Anya asked, and then answered her own question, "Yeah, i'll go do that . . ." and with that she left the room and her half drunk mug of coffee on the table.
Buffy wondered how Dawn was feeling, she wasn't showing much emotion so it was hard to tell. She would just have to talk to her. "C'mon Dawnie, follow me, i wanna' talk to you." And Buffy walked out.
Dawn got up and folowed her, she knew what was coming. Buffy led them into the dining room and closed the door behind them, looking round to see that no one was tryign to listen, then she looked at her little sister, "I'm sorry Dawnie, I just want you to be safe."
"It's no biggie," Dawn said, with a slight smile. "I really don't mind, like Andrew said, I'll meet new people." Buffy was suprised at how well she was taking this, or how well she was hiding the fact that she didn't want to go . . .
"So, your ok?"
Dawn nodded.
"And you sure?"
Dawn nodded again.
Buffy smiled and walked foreword, putting her arms round her sister and hugging her, Dawn hugged her back and burried her head into her shoulder. "I'll miss you," Buffy told her.
In a muffled voice Dawn said; "You too."
Then they let go of one another when the door opened and they turned roudn to see Giles in the doorway. "Sorry . . ." He said, "I umm . . . i was going to do the shopping, i wanted to say goodbye to Dawn before i went."
Buffy nodded and Giles made his way into the room and closed the door. Then he looekd at Dawn, nto able to tell what she was feeling, like Buffy wasn't. "Well, goodbye then Dawn, make sure you have a good time,"
"I will," Dawn said with a smile, "Cya Giles."
Then Giles smiled and nodded, he hated goodbye's, he just grabbed his coat and made hsi way out of the room wihtout turning back around. "Short and sweet," Dawn said and Buffy smiled, that was the first thing she had said that sounded like her . . .
Then somone knocked on the door and Xander walked in, Anya stood behind him. "Err, guys, it's here already." He said.
"Already?" Buffy asked, "It's early, well, come on Dawnie."
Dawn followed Buffy Xander and Anya into the garden, she was followed by the rest of the scoobies, except Spike, who stood in the doorway. "Cya!" he called to Dawn, she turned round and smiled at him blankly and he nodded at her.
On the road, in front of them was a bus, that looked more like a large car then a bus. Buffy looked at it and then looked at Dawn. "You be good, right?"
"You sound like mom," Dawn said and then looked down, "Of course i'll be good,"
She turned round to see the scoobies waving to her, everyone was there, standing on the front lawn (and the doorway), waving to her, as if they would never see her again, and would they? What ahppens if they all died before she get's back? Dawn hadn't thought of this and she began to panic as she heard them shouting bye . . .
"C'mon Dawnie," Buffy said, the doors to the bus opened as they walked closer and an old driver looked down on them.
"Could you hurry up with those goodbye's?" He asked, in a grumpy tone, "I ain't got all day y'know!"
Buffy sighed, containing her anger and turned to Dawn, giving her yet another hug. "Cya Dawnie," She said and Dawn smiled to herself, she hoped deeply it would be 'Cya, again . . .'. Then she climbed onto the bus, walked up the steps and found a seat near the back where she got a view of everyone waving at her and Buffy, standing near the front smiling up at her.
Dawn knew they would be worried about her, just like she would be about them. She didn't want to go but she had to make it wasy for her sister, she had enough to deal with . . . She waved to them as the bus' engine started up and it began to move, slowely. Then more fast, and her friends quickely disapeared behind her . . .
