Yeah, I changed some things around a bit. You all probably didn't notice, which is cool. Saves me time.

Still not owning BtVS.

/Italy isn't so bad. It has its good points…like the really cute Italian guys here…/

I read what I wrote and laughed. Wasn't that the truth? Cute Italian guys definitely made up for leaving Cleveland.

/I really do miss Andrew though. I miss everyone! Even Vi and Rona, the little nosy whores that they were. I wish I could see them again…/

I sighed and closed my journal. I'd finish my entry later. I was starting to get depressed as I thought of everyone back in Cleveland.

Not to mention that not everyone was there.

Apparently, Xander left. So did Willow and Kennedy. I think they're searching for new slayers. I honestly couldn't tell you. Buffy decided to whisper then. I think she knew I was eavesdropping.

Giles and Andrew headed back to England. At least they were somewhat close to me.

So there I was, sitting in my room in Italy, gazing out the window and wondering how everyone was doing back in Cleveland and wherever else they were.

I hadn't talked to Andrew since I left Cleveland. Not like I didn't think about it, but…I've been busy doing things and all. I haven't had the time.

I have had, however, enough time to just think about him. The way he laughs, the way he smiles. The cute way he blushes when I say something rather embarrassing.

But I don't like him like that. No matter what anyone else says. Andrew has become my best friend. Almost like the brother I never had.

Okay so that's a lie.

But I'm…afraid.

I've seen (kind of) my mother's marriage fall apart. She died alone.

I've seen most of Buffy's relationships. They all failed. And the one she's in now with the Immortal will probably end up failing too.

So what would make me any different?

I was deeply in thought about my nonexistent love life when I heard a knock on the door. My head shot up and a frown formed on my face. Who would be here? The Immortal perhaps?

But I thought that Buffy was going to meet him at the club? Confused, I stood up and headed for the front door, adjusting the shorts and tank top that I was wearing.

"Coming!" I called out, jogging the rest of the way toward the door and opening it slowly.

I let out a small scream when I was suddenly lifted into the air and swung around.

"Andrew Wells put me down this minute!" I cried out, laughing hysterically.

Andrew put me down and grinned foolishly. "Hey Dawn."

I leaned against the wall for support, trying to catch my breath. "Hey Andrew. You look good." I complimented, noticing how…different he looked. But different in a good way. More clean cut, kind of.

"Thanks. So do you." He replied, motioning with a hand toward my body.

I looked down at what I was wearing. "Yeah right. I look like crap." I muttered, checking to make sure my boobs weren't popping out all over the place.

"No complaints here." He mumbled, earning him a smack in the arm. "Ow..." He glared over at me, but I pretended that I didn't see it.

"So why are you in Italy?"

"Brought in a Slayer. Dana, you hear about her?"

My mind flashed back to Buffy telling her about a crazy slayer in Los Angeles. I realized I really hadn't paid attention to her. Whoops.

"Uhh, just a bit. How'd that go?"

"Not so bad. I had Angel and Spike's help…" Andrew trailed off, realizing what he had just said.

My mouth dropped open a bit. "What did you just say?" I asked him quietly.

He laughed nervously. "Whoops."

Dun dun dun!

I dedicate this to vanillagigglez for reviewing every chapter (thanks for the hint about the nicknames, btw). And cause she just rocks.

Speaking of...This is a friendship right about now. But since I'm such a big fan of the Dandrew ship, it'll probably turn in the romance direction. Of course, I have to have angst too. So.
