unfortunately for dawn buffy was fifteen not so long ago. most of us have a couple of decades before we again deal with the emotions of teenagers. very good read, thank you. and i would like to add a bravo for anya.

Good for Anya, maybe Xander will think long and hard about what she said, maybe not.

Really like this chapter - nice change and It's good to have a Dawn-Buffy serious conversation - 

It must be so hard to have a teenage son or daughter to try and guide through this time of their life.

I'm very glad you're feeling better!  I missed your updates, lol!  Anywho, very good chappie.  As a big sister, I completely understand where Buffy is coming from and why she's so worried about Dawn. 

Can't wait for the next chapter and Spike's introduction to Hank.

I can't wait until their dad is around, what a lot of fun conversations that's going to be! p.s. thanks about the help with the membership, I finally got in!

Oh yeah....Buffy was all about boys at 15, she knows and worries *snicker*.

Can't wait to see the conversation between Spike and Dawn's intended...ahem.   This is going to be an interesting vacation all round.

Good for Anya!  She hit many nails right on their pointed heads....time Xander THINK rather than speak.  Good for her.
