Title: Not the Slayer
Author: Redrikki
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 067 Dawn
Character: Dawn



At fifteen, Buffy saved L.A. from vampiric hordes. By the end of her second day at Sunnydale High, she’d managed to make friends and avert an apocalypse. At fifteen, Dawn was still getting her ass kicked by vampiric hordes of one, and her high school experience was less than stellar. Okay, yeah, technically, so she was only three, but Dawn wasn’t the Slayer, and that was the point. She didn’t have powers of preternatural ass kicking; she just had herself. But sometimes that, a cell phone and a bag of bricks were all you needed to keep your friends alive.

Well done. POor Dawnie doesn't often get the cred she deserves :)

That's the sucky part of being a sidekick/little sister.

I enjoyed reading this.

Thank you. She actually did the bag of bricks in the episode Lessons. Pretty innovative when you think about it.

I love it -- it shows both the jealousy and the determination that Dawn could show, depending on which was most appropriate!

Very nice.

Nice look at how Dawn did stop whining and start doing what she could right from the start of season 7!
