Thank you so much, Sharon!!!!
See? I’m updating eh, eh! ;)


Anyway, I understand this can be boring so far, after all, the real story begins with chapter three, so I wish someone will care after that! ;)

Well, this part should be fun, at least I think so..


Chapter 2: So similar … yet so different


The next day everything was ready for the party and at mid-afternoon the Summers’ house was full of people, from Angel and all his gang to the scoobies and Dawn’s schoolmates.

And the girl in question wore a very pretty baby blue dress that set off her eyes, but mostly her legs, since it was a very, very short dress. It was Buffy and Spike’s gift; she had found it over her bed when she woke up in the morning. Buffy wanted to allow her sister a little change of rules, at least for once. Plus, if she thought about what she wore when she was Dawn’s age... no, even before, well, the blonde couldn’t scold her at all!

As the literature lover that Spike had always been, he wanted to give her a book, but luckily his Childe had talked him into buying the dress, because she knew that Dawn and books didn’t get along so well, unless they were magic books.

Spike wasn’t very happy about that choice, because that dress was really too short and.. was it his impression... or did Wesley keep looking at her way too much?


But it was his Nibblet’s day and he had promised not to interfere. Plus, he and Angel were already in enough trouble, because as soon as all Dawn’s female friends had seen them, first of all they had envied Dawn for having such gorgeous friends and then they had decided to create a fan club for them. Sarah and Juliet had named themselves Presidents of the club and they hadn’t taken their eyes off of them anymore, chasing them all around the house with heart-shaped eyes.


Although Buffy and Drusilla didn’t like that ‘siege’ to their Mates at all, they had allowed the girls to keep doing it, due to two different reasons: Buffy hadn’t reacted because she knew that, after all, they were just a bunch of teenagers and Drusilla hadn’t reacted because she had a chip that prevented her from harming any human being, otherwise there would’ve been a bloody massacre of little girls!

But after one hour of siege, the brunette vampiress had lost what little patience she had, so she had decided to stick to her Angel worse than a powerful glue, growling at every girl who dared to approach to him further than a meter of distance. There was someone who would swear they had seen her beautiful violet eyes became yellow for an instant.



Meanwhile, Spike had taken advantage of a moment of general distraction to run towards the basement to enjoy some peace and quiet... but Buffy had followed him there ... and it had become anything but quietness! Well, not that her Sire was complaining about it...

After a while, they decided to come back upstairs before someone got worried with their absence and tried to find them.

The bleached vampire was relieved when he saw that the bunch of little girls had turned their attention to Gunn and Wesley and Dawn had become his inseparable body-guard as another of her friends, Emma, had preferred to chat a little with Xander, but their chat didn’t last long, because Anya put herself in front of her in a threatening way.

“Hey you, little girl, look at his hand, there’s a wedding ring on his finger, it means that he is my husband, that he is already engaged to me, so you’d better go away, Missy!” she summoned her with a tone plenty of authority and the poor teenager ran away scared. “See, honey? Although I’m not a demon anymore… I can still be terrifying!” she commented proudly, kissing her soul mate.

“I see, anyway, c’mon, Anya, she wasn’t doing anything bad, she is just a little girl who likes talking...” Xander tried to justify her.
“Well, she can find someone else to chat with! Why don’t all these girls care about the guys of their same age who are outside playing basketball?” she wondered.

“Maybe because they’re outside playing basketball! You know, honey, sometimes boys are a little bit more immature than girls...” he explained to her, hugging her.
“Believe me, I know!” she chuckled.



After having some fun, criticizing the outfit of every single person at the party, saving only Drusilla, because by then she was their trustful disciple, Harmony and Cordelia went towards Wesley and Gunn.

“So, I see that you two are breaking lots of hearts!” the brunette girl teased them.
“It wouldn’t be so bad... if only they were five or six years older...” Gunn commented, rolling his eyes.

All of the sudden, Cordelia started screaming, because she was having one of her powerful visions and both Angel and Spike, who were in a corner nearby chatting a little, or rather annoying each other a little, ran immediately towards the girl to help her.

Buffy, Drusilla and Dawn rushed to help her, too, as Dawn’s friends kept exchanging confused looks, without understanding what was going on.


Due to their exaggerate curiosity, the others decided to go to a private room to talk more freely.



“It was so terrible, I’ve never felt such an evil energy before...” she murmured, massaging her temples.

“Cordy, have you seen something particular?” Wesley wondered as discretely as he could.

“I saw blood, lots of blood, lots of victims and a black star inside a black circle... with something coming out of it, and it was something ugly, very horrible...” she explained, making a big effort to recall any other important particulars, but without any success.
“Ok, Cordy, don’t worry, you already did a lot!” Angel said to her and then he turned to Wesley.

“Look for something like that in your books...” he started instructing him, but then he heard Drusilla whimper as she hugged her stomach, staring at a blank spot, almost as if she was in a sort of trance.

(End I)

So, are you ready? In the second part I’ll finally make you take a glimpse on the other dimension, too, I promise... ;)
Well, I hope you’ll like it!
