Chapter 6
The next day, he awoke to find Willow fixing breakfast. He walked in the kitchen, wearing the same clothes he had on the night before, to find her wearing a nylon nightgown with a bathrobe. She looked up at him and smiled.
"How do you want you eggs?" she asked.
Drew looked at her but didn't answer. He hadn't slept as well as he had hoped. In his mind, the visions of his dreams replayed in his mind. Everything that had happened while he was gone still hung in his mind. Fighting that creature was more than what he needed, but he hoped it would soon leave his mind. Finally he answered Willow.
"Um...well I guess I'll take them scrambled," he replied, acting as if nothing was wrong.
Willow finished with eggs and handed him a plate with scrambled eggs, toast and bacon. Drew began to eat when Buffy and Dawn came down. Buffy had on a white tank top and blue pajama bottoms while Dawn had a pink tank top and pink pajama bottoms. Drew and Dawn's eyes met for a brief moment, then they broke contact.
Willow, almost mechanically, handed them plates with eggs the way they liked them. They joined Drew and ate the wonderful breakfast Willow had fixed for them. They began to talk a bit, but Drew didn't say much.
When they had finished, Drew snapped his fingers and his clothes changed to a blue Spongebob t-shirt and blue jeans. He had on tennis shoes to finish it all off with.
"That's much better," he said with a sigh. Dawn looked at him for a moment then Buffy spoke up.
"Guys," she said, "I have an announcement to make as soon as Angel gets here." As soon as the words left her mouth, a knock occurred at the door and Angel stepped in. He had on his usual look. A navy blue shirt and black slacks. He looked at Buffy and she walked over to him.
"I wanted to wait till Angel got here because this concerns him and me," Buffy replied and a look of worry crossed her face. "I am going to call off the wedding."
Everyone looked shocked. It was only a few days away and she was calling it off. In their minds, they wondered what had provoked this decision. Within a few moments, Buffy began to explain why.
"Angel," she said, "right now I don't know if I can handle marriage, so I want to put things on hold for now."
Angel looked at her and nodded his head. Soon after he did, he turned and walked out the door slamming it behind him. Drew looked around at everyone. Buffy soon began calling the guests to say that the wedding was canceled.
Drew could take it no more. He decided that it was now or never. He reached his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a black box.
"Dawn, Buffy, Willow, I have something to say," he said. "Dawn, you may want to sit down for this."
Dawn looked at him but she sat down on the couch. Drew walked over to her and knelt on one knee and pulled out a black box. Dawn looked at him with surprise because she knew what was coming. Drew then opened the box to reveal a three-stoned diamond ring.
"Dawn Summers," Drew started, "will you marry me?"
Dawn looked at him, then to Buffy and Willow. She didn't know what to say. She thought for a few seconds and almost instantly she replied.
"Yes, Drew," she said. "Yes, I will marry you."
Drew stood up and picked Dawn up and hugged her tightly. He then slipped the ring on her finger and to Dawn's surprise it fit perfectly. She quickly ran over to show it to Buffy and Willow and began to call all her friends. Buffy began to have plans made for Dawn and Drew to get married while she cancelled her own with Angel.
