"Dawn listen to me, listen. I love you. I will always love you, this is the work I have to do. Tell Giles that... Tell Giles I figured it out... And I'm ok. And give my love to my friends. You have to take care of them now, you have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. Be brave, Live... for me."

Dawn shook her head. Didn’t Buffy understand? Dawn was just some magical object turned into a human and Buffy… Buffy was the Slayer. She couldn’t let Buffy sacrifice her life, the world needed her far too much.

“Buffy, I can’t let you do this,” said Dawn, moving to block her.

“Dawn, you’re my sister-”

“And Sunnydale needs you.”

She bit back a scream as she lost her balance. It felt almost as if… something had grabbed her and pulled.

General Hammond paused on his way out of the base to watch SG-2 return from P3X-199. Right on schedule, nobody injured or running. Chances were nothing went wrong. Once again Hammond wondered what it was about SG-1 that caused so many mishaps.

A moment after Major Ferretti walked through the Gate, the wormhole flashed from blue to purple. A slight figure fell through the gate, knocking over Ferretti and rolling down the ramp.
