    <content type="html">Three story fragments, although the first can be thought of as a complete mini-fic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Probably set during or after BtVS&amp;nbsp;Season 8.&amp;nbsp; Written because someone remarked that there was no Dawn/Andrew/Connor fanfiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Triangle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Buffy, I need to talk to you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Buffy looks up from the report she's reading.  &amp;quot;What is it, Dawn?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;You know I've been happy with Andrew, right?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Uh-huh.&amp;quot;  (Buffy pauses.)  &amp;quot;Wait, what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Dawn continues, &amp;quot;I mean he's so sweet.&amp;quot; (pauses) &amp;quot;And he's such a good kisser.&amp;quot; (pauses) &amp;quot;But then I met this new guy. Nothing's happened yet. And it's a little weird with him being Angel's son and all. But we get along so well. And there was this instant connection between us. I don't want to hurt Andrew, but what if I'm supposed to be with Connor?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Dawn sighs.  &amp;quot;I know.  This is just something I'm going to have to work out for myself.&amp;quot;  She turns and leaves.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Buffy stares after her in shock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2)&lt;/strong&gt; Scene from an unwritten Kim Possible/Buffy crossover.&amp;nbsp; Set during the Season 7 episode&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Dirty Girls&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Distraction&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caleb's punch sends Buffy flying across the room.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;So, what else you got?&amp;quot; he says smugly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kim steps forward, presenting a calm facade.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Me.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; She studies Caleb with an air of disdain.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;I've fought supervillains before.&amp;nbsp; And you do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; impress.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caleb gestures toward an unconscious Buffy.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;She might say differently. &amp;nbsp;If she could talk, that is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kim shrugs.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Anyone can land a lucky punch.&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caleb glares at Kim for a moment then swings at her, but she dodges the punch, then a second one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He lunges at her, but she sidesteps and steers him into a wine barrel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Harbingers step forward out of the shadows and the Potentials advance to meet them.&amp;nbsp; Spike glances at Caleb then charges at the closest Harbinger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Kim watches Caleb struggle to his feet. She maintains her air of disdain.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Really&lt;/em&gt; do not impress.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Scene from an unwritten Dollhouse/Buffy crossover.&amp;nbsp; Set around the time of the (unaired but on the S1 DVD) Dollhouse episode &amp;quot;Epitaph One&amp;quot; and is probably a crossover with my main alternate Buffy universe. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Buffy's team has emerged from a trans-dimensional portal and has just contacted Mag's group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Contact&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffy's handheld signals an incoming call.&amp;nbsp; She waves off Mag's alarmed expression.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Don't worry.&amp;nbsp; It's shielded.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Buffy, it's Willow.&amp;nbsp; I'm sending the latest data over to you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffy waits for the download to finish, then responds &amp;quot;I got it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;All right.&amp;nbsp; This will be my last contact until you call for retrieval.&amp;nbsp; Remember to disable incoming calls until then.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Willow pauses.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;And Buffy?&amp;nbsp; Be&lt;em&gt; careful&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Of course,&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;Buffy answers casually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;I'm &lt;em&gt;serious&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Willow says urgently.&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot; If one of those waves gets past your shields, I-I don't think even I can bring you&amp;nbsp; back.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <title>Inauguration Day</title>

    <content type="html">And now we have a new president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Didn't go down to the Mall for the Inauguration.&amp;nbsp; Didn't even consider it.&amp;nbsp; But I've never even watched any part of any Inauguration Ceremony on TV.&amp;nbsp; Never really wanted to. &amp;nbsp;But there was something different about this time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that there are multiple serious crises that need to be dealt with.&amp;nbsp; And that we can't be sure that even Obama will be capable of dealing with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it makes a big difference that the most powerful person in the country will now be part of the solution and not a problem to be worked around.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>
