Notes: The muses have been very good to me. I have an outline for the rest of the story written down and am working on typing the chapters up.
Willow, Trish, and Lita took Dawn to the Beverly Center to go shopping. Willow knew that she had to tell Dawn that Buffy was alive and soon. The ladies had a great time . Lita, Trish, and Willow had gotten some new ring wear and Dawn had talked Willow into buying her a pair of blood red leather pants and a matching halter top.
Willow had made reservations at the hotel restaurant at one for Dawn and herself. Lita and Trish were meeting Xander and Matt for a autograph session at the arena before the show. They knew that Willow wanted to be alone with Dawn before she told her Buffy was alive.
After they arrived at the hotel, Lita handed the SUV keys to Willow. Lita and Trish were going to ride to the arena with Xander and Matt. Willow took Dawn up to her room to drop their bags and they headed to lunch.
Willow and Dawn ordered and talked about their lives. Dawn was trying to get any and all dirt on Willow and Jeff's relationship. Willow told her something but left Buffy out of any story. They really enjoyed spending time together since they hadn't been together since she moved to LA.
"Dawn, there is something that I want to tell you but you must remain calm." Willow said as they finished their lunch.
"What? Anything that you can tell me will not surprise me since I lived on the Hellmouth." Dawn said with a smile.
"Dawnie, Buffy is alive." Willow said waiting for Dawn's reaction.
"What?" Dawn said in a shocked tone.
"One night after you moved to LA, a portal opened and Buffy fell through it. We took her home. She was very weak and had very little strength. Xander and I had to take care of her. We told Matt and Jeff and they came home with Trish, Lita, and Chris Jericho." Willow said with a smile on her face. "Somehow, Jeff and I realized that we are in love with each other. Xander and Trish fell in love with each other. Buffy and Chris fell for each other. We closed up the house and went to follow our loves' on tour."
Dawn was crying and looked really happy at the same time. Willow hugged her and continued her story.
"We all moved Cameron, North Caroina. We all live within a five mile radious. Buffy, Xander, and I have been training to become members of the WWE. Xander and I have had our debuts already. Buffy was waiting for you and Hank to know that she is alive before she joins us in the ring." Willow said.
"Take me to her, Willow." Dawn said with a smile.
" Come on. We'll have to go up stairs first. I need to get my ring gear and clothes for after the show." Willow said to Dawn and they went up to Willow's room.
They quickly picked up the things that Willow needed and headed for the car. Willow drove them straight to the arena. Willow took Dawn to Chris's locker room were Buffy was waiting.
Dawn opened the door and ran straight into Buffy's arms. Both of the women were crying tears of joy.
