Giled said "Buffy, there is someth.." but the blond vampire and her friend didn't wait for an answer as they burst into the school library. Willow parents and Joyce were sitting on a table waiting patiently, but they stood up just as the door opened and they saw who it was, surprise and joy written in their faces. The first one to break the silence was Joyce "H..Honey? is it really you?" then before Buffy could say anything, her mother ran towards her and then hugged her in a tight embrace and kissed her "My baby you are alive" and she began to cry "Mommy, I'm sorry I caused you so much pain" A tear ran in her face as she said that. She looked at Willow and saw that she was also hugging her parents and crying. After a moment, Joyce released her daughter and said "Buffy, your sister is also here" Buffy stared in confusion at her and asked "My sister?", Willow who had also come to say hello to joyce asked "Buffy has a sister?". At that moment Giles appeared fallowed by the girl they called Dawn and Giles said "Buffy, I think we need to talk".
After a 30 minutes of explanation Buffy asked with surprise "But how come I don't have any memory of her?. I mean I know there is something special about her, I have felt it since I saw her, but I don't have any memory of her as the rest of you do" Willow then added "Me neither" Giles answered "I supposed when the monks gave the key a human form four years ago, they implanted memories in all of us, but both of you were not exactly around at that time. I suppose that is why the spell didn't affect you". Both Dawn and Buffy stared at each other "I have a little sister" Buffy said with emotion and Dawn smiled "Little? I'm older than you" Buffy laughed and said "Well, not technically".
Both Willow and Buffy decided to go to their parent's house, they needed to spent time alone with them to catch up for all the missing years.
As they left, Drusilla entered the library and saw Giles "I see they have been reunited with their families… I'm happy for them" she said the last words with a little sadness. Giles noticed this and approached the souled vampire "Drusilla, is there something wrong?" Drusilla stared at him and said "I just wish I could see my family again, and all the people I knew when I was alive" she sat on a table as a tear flowed on her pale face. Giles approached her and said as he put his hand on her shoulder "We care about you, we are your family now" Dru stared with gratitude at him and said "Thank you for your friendship Giles and" but she stopped talking, afraid to reveal her true feeling for him. Only Angel and Spike knew about it and constantly told her to reveal her feelings but she didn't want to, afraid of his reaction.
