Chapter 5
Dawn was inside with Willow. They were talking about what to do if Drew did make it back.
"Willow," Dawn said, "when Drew does come back, what am I gonna tell Zack?"
Willow thought for moment and remembered the time Oz came back when she was in love with Tara. She then pushed the memory out of the way.
"Well, tell him," Willow started, "that you still have feelings for Drew."
The expression on Dawn's face changed from sad to happy. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Dawn jumped a bit and then went to answer it. When she opened the door, she saw Drew and fainted.
Before she hit the floor, Drew caught her in his arms and layed her on the couch as Willow entered in the living room to see whom it was at the door. When she saw Drew, she almost screamed. Pride then came running through the door followed closely by some boy Drew had never seen before. He was wearing a blue silk like shirt with blue jeans and sneakers. His hair was blonde, and he had green eyes.
"Who are you?" the guy asked looking at Drew. At that moment, Dawn regained consciousness. When she saw Drew, she quickly got up and hugged him. She then noticed the guy standing by the door.
"Oh, hi Zack," she said. "This is Drew, my boyfriend before you."
Zack just stood there. A look of anger covered his face as Willow began to try and calm him down.
"Who do you think you are to come here and make her love you again after you walked out on her three years ago?" Zack shouted.
"Zack," Dawn said with anger rising inside her, "I still love him. He didn't make me. This locket around my neck is a symbol of love he gave me."
Zack looked a bit stunned. He then turned on his heal and walked out.
"I can't believe you never took it off," Drew said.
"You gave it to me," Dawn said, "as a symbol of our love. Why would I take it off?"
Drew smiled a bit. Then he hugged Dawn tightly as if to say, I'm sorry I ever left you. Dawn then began crying tears of joy. For three years she had to go without him, and now she had him back.
After about a minute or so, they stopped hugging each other. Willow left them alone to talk. She had to pull Pride with her into the kitchen.
Drew and Dawn started talking once they left. Drew asked Dawn to tell him everything that happened while he was gone.
"So much has happened," Dawn said. "I mean, you have been gone for three years."
"Ok," Drew said, "tell the important stuff then."
So, Dawn told him the important things. She told him what happened after he left till the day he came back. Drew learned what he had missed. When Dawn got to the part about Angel becoming human, he had to stop her for a minute.
"Angel is what now?" Drew asked.
"Human," Dawn said. "He somehow became human, but he still has his vampire strength. He even asked Buffy to marry him."
At that moment, Buffy and Angel came walking in.
"Speaking of the slayer," Drew said.
Buffy quickly looked. When she saw Drew sitting there, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Angel," she said.
"Yeah," he answered.
"Pinch me," she said, "because I don't believe my eyes."
Angel just looked at her. Within a few moments, Buffy recovered from shock.
"So," Buffy said, "How did it go?"
Drew glanced away for a few moments. He didn't want to say that the immortals almost died because of what they were fighting. The creature was pure evil. Born of an immortal and a goddess, it hated both worlds. Neither Drew nor the others had ever fought such an evil being. Within seconds, he looked back at Buffy.
"It took longer than I thought," Drew said at last.
Buffy looked at him for a bit and then hinted to Angel to follow her upstairs. Angel took a few seconds but got the hint and followed her. This left Drew and Dawn alone for a few moments.
Within a few seconds, Drew and Dawn again began to talk about what had gone on while Drew was gone. By the time they realized that there wasn't much more to say, it was nearly 3 o'clock in the morning. Dawn went up to her room. Drew watched her as she went upstairs. He couldn't believe how much she had changed while he was gone.
After a few minutes, he finally decided to get some sleep. It had been too long since he had a decent night's sleep. Drew laid down on the couch and fell asleep within a few minutes, not knowing that his life would soon take another drastic turn.
