A/N

Good news peeps! My lawyer has finally earned his retainer and secured permission for me to use Dawn's letters! So here is her reply.

Hi Willow,

Xander shrieked like a girl when Las arrived! We're all okay. Buffy's been giving me slaying lessons. It's all 'Use the force Luke' except the bad guys are the ones with the force and I'm a weakling so therefore I must work out with her for a few months before she'll let me near a graveyard again.

School'll have started by the time you get this. So not looking forward to math on the Hellmouth! Do they actually have extra credit in England? From what Giles told us all it sounds as though the education system over there is really messed up! Mind you, I wouldn't mind leaving school at 16.

The librarian sounds a lot like Giles used to be and Severus just plain mean. Hit him with a stick for me.

I gotta run because it's time to spar with Buffy.

Say hi to Darcy for me.

Dawn
