Thanks for all the reviews. I don't really have anything to say today (I know I'm shocked too.) so... Here it is...

"Leave me alone." Chris sighed staring out at the twinkling lights of the city.

"You can't give up." Leo replied.

"Why not?" Chris demanded.

"Because, you love her." Leo replied.

"So, sometimes that just isn't enough." Chris shrugged.

"That's a load of crap." Leo said rolling his eyes. "You need to decide if she's worth fighting for."

"What if she doesn't want me?" Chris asked.

"If you can't see how much she loves you, your blind. It was your love that destroyed the first, her love for you, not Angel." Leo replied. "I almost mad the mistake your about to. To walk away convincing yourself it's better for her, it's what she wants, deserves. But, in the end you have to let her decide."

"What do you want?" Angel asked.

"To know how you suddenly became human." Cole replied.

"Does it matter?" Angel asked.

"Yes, what happened to letting her be happy, to knowing how much she loved Chris. What changed between then and now besides the obvious?" Phoebe demanded.

She didn't know she ended up here, how she even knew where to go but she did. She took two buses and a train and four hours later here she was unsure of what to do next. She watched them through the window laughter flowing out carried by the light breeze. They looked every part the happy suburban family. The woman turned as if she could feel Buffy's eyes on her. She froze when she saw her they're eyes locked for a second before Buffy ducked back into the shadows. Silently walking back down the street.

"Dawn?" Her husband said confused. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Dawn said finding her voice. Had it really been her or had she imagined it. "I think I''m going to take a walk."

"Do you want me to come with you?" He asked.

"No, you guys stay finish the movie." Dawn smiled down at her family. "Ijust need some fresh air."

"Buffy Wait!" Dawn called spotting the figure walking down the street and running after her. Buffy paused slowly turning around. "It's really you." Dawn said still shocked stopping in front of her sister. "You look exactly the same." She said amazed.

"You don't." Buffy replied unsurely. "Your all grown up."

"I know." Dawn smiled. "Did you get my letter?"

"You seem happy." Buffy nodded.

"I am, I really am." Dawn replied. "But your not."

"I don't think I want to be." Buffy sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to come here. I don't know why..."

"Come on." Dawn said taking her hand.

"Where are we going?" Buffy asked confused as Dawn lead her down the quiet streets.

"You came here to see me for a reason." Dawn replied as she led them into the deserted playground taking a seat on one of the swings.

"I'm so confused." Buffy replied taking a seat on the swing next to her. "I don't know what to do Dawnie."

"Ok, I've waited twenty years to hear this story, now spill." Dawn insisted.

"Human?" Dawn asked stunned. "Angel's human?"

"I know. It's huge." Buffy sighed. "I realized something on my way here. Angel and Chris, they were the two most significant relationships of my life. I love them both so much. And I went into both relationships knowing they're was no future in either and suddenly I can have one with either of them. How am I supposed to choose?"

"You need to follow your heart, you know what you want." Dawn replied. "It's not easy trust me. I did it, I picked Peter. I chose to cut all ties with the past to marry him, to have our two beautiful children, the normal life I never knew I wanted. And I love it, I'm happy."

"I want that to." Buffy replied.

"No you don't." Dawn smiled knowingly. "Buffy I know you like noone else ever could, I am you. And yes, part of you wants that normal picket fence, suburban fairy tale but, you'd never be satisfied. And neither option will honestly get you that. God, I spent so long being jealous of you."

"Why?" Buffy asked confused.

"You're my big sister, I wanted to be like you, I looked up to you like all siblings do, but in my case I didn't stand a chance. You save the world, it's a lot to live up too." Dawn said with a msall smile.

"My life isn't all that wonderful, you of all people know that." Buffy replied.

"But that's where your wrong, it is." Dawn replied smiling. "You've done so much, seen so much and I'm not saying it's been all fun and games but, look at it from my point of view.

You asked me to live for you, and I did. I have done all those things you could never do and I love them, they make me happy. It works for me but, Buffy maybe your not meant to have and ordinary life. You asked me to live for you and now I need you to do the same for me. I have the ordinary life, you live the extraordinary one. You go get your guy wether it's the two hundred some odd year old vampire turned human or the twenty two year old magic guy and you start living."

"I'm scared." Buffy confessed.

"I know." Dawn said standing. "I have to get back. Thank you, for everything. I love you Buffy."

"I love you too Dawn." Buffy said sadly as they hugged.

"Why don't they want Chris and Buffy to be together?" Piper asked frustrated.

"They're afraid of what will happen." Faith confessed. "Their two very powerful people and if they were to... "

"They don't want them to have children." Leo realized.

"That's a load of crap." Piper sighed. "I mean look at Wyatt and Chris, they thought they would be to powerful but, they turned out fine."

"They almost didn't." Paige reminded her.

"That was the elders fault." Piper replied glaring. "They don't have a problem with Wyatt and his girlfriend, Sarah's a powerful witch and Wyatt's well Wyatt."

"Yes, but Buffy's the most powerful slayer ever who just got a power boost and Chris is more powerful than maybe even he realizes." Faith replied.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Leo asked confused.

"Chris is so stuck in Wyatt's shadow that I don't think he's ever really realized he's just as powerful as his brother if not more." Faith explained. "Wyatt's may be the son of a Charmed one and a White lighter but,"

"Chris is the son of a Charmed one and an Elder." Piper realized.

"Exactly. Their hopping she'll choose Angel and that will solve their problems." Faith replied.

"And if she doesn't?" Paige asked.

"I don't know, but they will trey and stop them." Faith replied.

"Buffy's calling." Kyle said orbing out.

"What are you doing here?" Kyle asked surprised.

"Figuring out what I want." Buffy replied.

"And did you?" Kyle asked.

"Yes, I need you to take me somewhere." Buffy replied.

"Where?" Kyle asked.

"Are you sure about this?" Kyle asked before orbing back to the manor?

"Yes, I know what I'm doing." Buffy replied confidently. "It's what I want."

"Buffy?"

"Hello Angel." Buffy greeted.
