Hey! Thanks again to my reviewers! Right I'm on holiday in…3 days so I might be able to do Dawn and Mal and perhaps Jessi before that. Then I'll only have the twins and Shannon left. Okay so …Dawn.

Dawn Schafer

"Attention passengers, this is the pilot speaking. We are sorry for the delays, and we hope to be landing in New Zealand in about half an hour. Enjoy your flight."

Dawn sighed. It had been a long trip. The plane had been late taking off to begin with, and then there had been security checks just before they started. To top it off, Dawn had been leaving London (which is where she had last worked) and she loved the people there. She was going to miss the friends she'd made, even though she had only been in England for a week.

"Peanuts miss? Or a drink?"

"Huh?"

Dawn had been lost in her thoughts, and tired with it. The stewardess just wasn't registering in her brain.

"Any snacks or drinks at all?" the young woman persisted.

"Do you have any organic, unsalted nuts?" asked Dawn, snapping back to reality.

"No miss."

"Then, thanks but I'm fine."

Dawn wasn't going to poison herself with that rubbish. She was still actively concerned about her body and the environment.

Speaking of which, she thought, my body's not looking so good.

Dawn had kept her hair long, and it was ash blonde still, tied up in a now messy plait. She had worn cosy clothes for the flight but they were now rumpled. Her pale green jeans had seen better days anyway. Her loose white shirt, with the Wildlife Conservation Trust logo was creased, she had kicked off her wedges long ago.

Dawn was a reporter. She was still passionate about the environment, so her main assignments entailed travelling round the world, and interviewing places like the WCT and people who were helping or endangering the world. She loved her job, and liked the fact that she was helping the world by making the good and bad publicly known. But she worked long "shifts" away from her family. Once she had not seen them for two months. And she hated that.

Dawn pulled out her wallet snapshots of her twin girls, and husband. She gazed at Byron for a moment. Now that had been a shock to the world. He had been her charge! But there was only a three year difference between them…and as they got older, that seemed not to matter. When at nineteen, it had started to become serious, Dawn was pretty sure it was right. But they waited until Byron was twenty and Dawn twenty three before they married. Byron had always been quiet, sensitive and caring. They worked together.

When Dawn was just twenty four, she was pregnant.

She had always wanted kids, and it was planned, so it was no shock…to her. Her father wasn't too happy for a while, but when the twins were born, he melted. They were perfect.Carol, Sharon, Richard, and Mr and Mrs Pike were ecstatic. Byron and Dawn were comfortable financially, as Byron worked in counselling, and Dawn's job paid well, so twins wasn't a problem. And they were perfect. Both had Dawn's clear blue eyes and Byron's dark silky hair, straight as anything and worn to their waists. Mary Anne and Peta were gorgeous.

Of course, the little girl was named after the original Mary Anne. They still kept in touch, and visited when they could. But it wasn't very often, as Dawn lived in California. Byron had made the decision that he would like to live there and that was what Dawn had wanted all along. Mary Anne was still in Stoneybrook.

As Dawn gazed out of the window at the rapidly approaching ground, she thought about Claudia. A few days ago, a phone call had come to her, saying that Claud was now a mother. Dawn was so happy but upset that she couldn't see the baby. And she really wanted to see Cassie, Mary Anne's little girl again.

As Dawn got off the plane, she thought…why not? When she had finished in New Zealand, she could visit Stoneybrook! The girls could come, and Byron…wait. He had that important conference. Oh well he wouldn't mind. In fact he wanted the girls to see Stoneybrook, as both sets of Grandparents were situated there.

That's a fantastic idea, she mused. I know Stacey's going down too; Mary Anne and Claud are still there, I'm sure that we can get the others down. Let's have a BSC reunion! It can also be a surprise party for Claudia! What a great idea!

Dawn felt like Kristy.

Aww! What did you think? Please review!
