Title: In The Harsh Light Of Day

Series: Met Nater

Dawn POV

--------------------------------

I thought some kind of demon was loose. People was moving back to Sunnydale. Faith and Cordelia. And Kate, but she's not really moving back, she never lived here before.

Who would want to live in Sunnydale? I know I don't. I know everyone thought I was going to get really freaked when Faith came back, and that really shows how well they know me. I mean, hello! Finch was an accident, and the rest, well, she never really meant it. I know. Faith's not bad, she just got on a wrong track. And I really don't think Buffy jamming a knife in her stomach really helped.

Faith is good Faith again, she even calls me kiddo, and I think that's a good sign. She spends a lot of time with Kate, I don't really know what they do, but there's no way they're just searching.

Kate is really cool, she doesn't talk to me like I'm a child. Cordy has changed too, from bitch to almost mush. Well, not completely, she still bitch at Xander, and she laughs of how protective Anya is of him. That's kind of funny, cause I swear no one gets to touch Kate. Would be easier if she wore a sign saying: "I'm Cordelia's, hands off!"

You should see Cordelia when she and Kate is walking Darion, that's their Golden Retriever puppy, and she has this goofy smile on her face, holding Kate's hand.

They aren't shy like Willow and Tara, I catch them kissing all the time. It doesn't bother me, I mean, we live on the Hellmouth. Being gay doesn't count as weird here. And with Willow and Tara and all, it wasn't exactly a shock, except that one part of the couple was Cordelia.

I miss Buffy a lot, but it helps that Faith is here, she reminds me in a strange way of everything Buffy was to me. She acts like a big sister in ways, only way cooler. She's teaching me to fight, not like her or Buffy, but so that I can defend myself, since we live in an area where the demon concentration is 300% above the global level. See, I do listen to Kate.

Cordelia and Anya turned out to be the perfect financial match, and agree's on every sentence where "money" is present. Buffy would have cracked up at seeing them, sitting at a table, heaps of papers in neat stacks, both wearing glasses, looking through the stock quotes, discussing what they should buy and sell. It's hilarious, I swear. But it does so that Faith doesn't have to work, and I know that's a big help. Kate trains her now, and Spike sparrs with her.

He get's hurt more often than not, but never serious. Jail really made Faith strong, you can see the well defined muscles flex right beneath the skin now. I think she could even win a fight against Buffy. She moves really fluidly, and she's a lot calmer than how I remember her.

All the boys at school drools when she picks me up, and when I tell her she laughs long and raw, and tells me that none of them has a chance what so ever.

She misses Buffy too, she never says so, but it's in her eyes when her name is mentioned, when she see's a picture of her, when she walks around her room, we left it untouched.

She thinks no one knows, but it's really obvious.

I hope you're ok Buffy, wherever you are. I miss you always, I'll never forget.

Cause every morning it seems like you're standing there in the harsh light of day.
