Sunnydale After Dark
Summary: For the SAD, 2024 Short and Spuffy Drabble Event.
My aim is to insert Dawn into seasons 1-4 while remaining canon-compliant, as the monks had done to everyone's memories, concentrating mostly on Spike and Buffy centric scenes. There may also be some 'off screen' scenes with Buffy and/or Spike during seasons 5, 6, and 7 (depending on the prompt and what idea comes to me).  Wish me luck!

Could be almost anytime during season 4 or 5. I couldn’t see any way Spike would ignore Buffy during School Hard or Becoming or even in Season 7, so this is kind of a one off, stand alone scene.
