Summary:
After Buffy dies, her friends decide to hand Dawn over to Social Services. They reason that it's the best for her, and being away from the Hellmouth and all things demon related, she'll be safe and will have a normal life.
When Spike finds out, he gets Dawn to pack her bags and they leave. What now? And what happens when Buffy is resurrected?
Tara could take their side and uses a spell to cloak them so that Willow nor Angel can find them.
Would be great if Buffy calls her friends out on wanting to give Dawn up to child services, especially since she trusted them to look after her sister.
When Buffy catches up with Spike and Dawn, she's grateful for what Spike did.
Buffy either choosing to remain with Spike and Dawn, or she convinces them to come back to Sunnydale with her.
