Well, sometimes people would send her things to protect them. And a while back, one of those things was me. They took this magical ball of glowy light called the Key, turned her into a girl and made Buffy and our mom believe that I had always been there.
[As well as everyone else around, but Buffy and Joyce were the important ones.]
Turned out there was this god that was trying to get a hold of the Key so that she could go back to her hell dimension, but couldn't find it because she didn't expect a pre-teen girl, but eventually it all came out and she used my blood to open this portal that was going to end the world.
My blood opened it so my blood had to close it. But Buffy realized that because the monks made me her sister, her blood was my blood. So she took the swan dive so I didn't have to.
( They -- if he's following this correctly, Dawn wasn't a girl. She was a magical ball of glowing light. )
She sacrificed herself for you.
( For all intents and purposes, Dawn was Buffy. Dawn was her sister. She did that for her. He'd do anything for Elena. And Bonnie, at one time. And his friends. )
They kept it from me, but all of them were trying to find ways to bring her back. They did this complicated spell ... but didn't think to dig her up before they did it.
[Sometimes her sister's friends were just ... really dumb.]
So they walked away thinking that it didn't work when Buffy didn't just magically appear in front of them but it did work and she was there so ... she dug herself out.
[She can't even really blame her sister for being depressed. Even the ill-advised tryst with Spike makes sense, in hindsight, even with the horrors it entailed.]
But she's a lot better now. And apparently dating your sister's ex-boyfriend.
[She got the rundown from Jo. She knows all the deets now.]
[Dawn is pleased with the Jeremy-shaped space he's been taking up in her life, and she wouldn't trade it, regardless of the strange coincidences they're finding themselves in.]
But maybe it would be worth it to arrange a getting all of our coincidences in one place one day.
No. I was thinking like a party. Your sister, my sister, your friends, my friends, their significant others, all that. Or maybe a group trip since it would be unfair to make everyone travel to one place except for one couple.
[Basically plenty of room to retreat and no obligations for everyone to entertain each other.]

How'd she crawl out of her grave after that?

That had to mess her up. I couldn't even imagine...

Guess it's crazy we found each other, too. Good-crazy.

Kennedy is incorporated. She actually owns a security firm. But I don't know think Buffy was ever the corporate type.

( Your boyfriend's mind wanders, Dawn.
Husband? Did we establish this? )

It may be too cold for them, but I can see why they would consider it a viable option.
[With like six months of no sun and all.
But with that the Samhain ceremony wraps up and Jo gives the signal: Time to get to researching.]
