Summary: After Buffy and Angels' secret meeting in Season 6. Buffy has a talk with Dawn, who drives her to L.A, to Angel, and she wants him back.

Pairing: B/A

Upstairs----

Buffy is sitting in her bedroom, on her bed facing the window, and remember when Angel would sneak in through there to see her and make-out with her, sometimes even spend the night (with out her mom knowing) then go home when she was asleep. Remembering this she had a little smile, with a little laugh, and a bundle of tears threatening to fall from her eyes. She just let it all out. She bent her head down into her hands that are on her knees, letting her long golden hair hang over, letting even more tears and sobs come out, then she heard a knock at the door.

She pushed her hair back away from her face and turned around to see her sister leaning against the door frame (once again) with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Dawn?" Buffy said, using her index fingers to wipe away her tears, "What's up?"

"Nothing, why." she asked

"No, nothing, I just thought something was that' all." She replied, with a bug breathe.

"Well, something is wrong." Dawn stated.

"What?" Buffy asked wide-eyed.

"You!" Dawn clearly stated.

Buffy, kind of expecting that said "Me?"

"Yeah you. Come on Buffy, you're trying to hide something that happened with you and Angel and you're here crying, we all know something's up. So what's up?" Dawn said and asked.

"Nothing happened between us!" she exclaimed. "It's just, I miss him (sob) I miss him so much"

"Oh, Buffy" Dawn ran over to Buffy, and sat beside Buffy on the bed and comforting her, soothing her and hugging her saying "Shhhh…. everything's going to be alright"

"No it's not," she said sitting up straight. " When we saw each other, he rushed over to me, touched my face, my arms, my chest, my stomach and my hands as if to make sure that I'm real and smiled and he hugged me, and I wanted to stay there forever, then we kissed, which seemed like forever then broke apart and talked."

"That's it, that's what's making you be like this" Dawn said

"No, not that, it's the fact that I can't have him!" she whined.

"Oh, Buffy." Dawn said embracing her sister. "I know how much he loves you and you, him, but with his soul you can't you know and you don't want a repeat of the last time you guys, you know."

"I know it can't work, but I want it to" Buffy whined again.

"And you can't just secure his soul and go to L.A, to tell, can you. Dawn said joking and laughing.

"Yes!" Buffy said with a smile. "Yes. We can do that"

"Buffy, I was joking" Dawn said with a slight giggle. "Unless you can do it?"

"Willow, she gave him his soul back, so she can probably secure it right?" Buffy asked her sister.

"What are you asking me for, go ask the bad assed Wicca yourself" Dawn said to her older sister.

"OK, I'll ask her, but you have to go to bed, school tomorrow." She said acting like the parent now.

"Hey I just found a way for you to be with your honey, your soul-mate and your Lover" Dawn said teasing her

"Dawn!" Buffy exclaimed. " You're right, I'm very grateful, even though it might not happen, I'm still very grateful. Ugh, thank you Dawnie!" she said giving her the biggest hug ever and a kiss on top of her head. "But you still have to go to bed for school"

"Ugh, OK. Night" Dawn gave her another hug then walked of into her room and went to sleep.

"Night!" she called after her.
