grabbed her coat. She smiled as she could feel tears running down her
cheek.

Giles may leave Sunnydale and leave me with Xander and Anya. We
didn't saw Spike, since your death. I think he probably came to see
your gravestone that night. Angel had come here to see your
gravestone. Till this day, he come here each month to put your
favorite flower on your tomb. Faith is still in jail. Thank god. But
we still need a slayer. Who will it be? Maybe he's there, but no
vampire appeared. Only minor thing that Giles and Xander are killing
easily.

They all treat me like a baby. Even Xander. I'm tired of this. Buffy,
I miss you. Why did you have to do this. It should have be me. It
should have..."

Dawn stop to write. She close the journal and tears come on her

DAWN
I'm here to give Buffy an hommage... Let's pray for her..

Then everybody is in front of the gravestone of Buffy and they seems
to think.

Xander is holding Anya, tears comes from Giles's eyes and Willow

closes her eyes-

-In slowly motion-

-As Angel arrives with Cordelia, near Spike's crypt where they can
see Buffy's grave-

And Dawn looks determined.

BLACK OUT.

DAWN(voice over)
I'll live for you Buffy.. I'm gonna be strong.
