There was a girl who had a crush on her sister's best friend






Her feelings for him started to get deeper when she realized how similar they were






Both normal, both with no superpowers, both extraordinary




Their relationship grew to blossom into something more than friendship




And eventually, her sister's best friend started to see her as she was... as a woman




Welcome to the Xander/Dawn Appreciation Thread This is the place to discuss their friendship or their relationship as it unfolds in S8

Xander: They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie. To be the one who isn't chosen; to live so near the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes, 'cause nobody's watching me. I saw you last night, I see you working here today... You're not special. You're extraordinary.

Dawn: Maybe that's your power.
Xander: What?
Dawn: Seeing. Knowing.
Xander: Maybe it is. Maybe I should get a cape.
Dawn: Cape is good.
Xander: Yeah.
