Rating: G
Setting: Whenever, wherever as Shakira said.
Characters: Dawn
Word count: 100 each.
Disclaimer: Buffy and the gang belong to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. I don't own them or any of the following either : The Addams Family, The West Wing, Alias, Nero Wolfe or Lois and Clark.
Summary: Those wacky monks came pretty close to putting Dawn in some other family. Just imagine if she'd been an Addams, Bartlett, Bristow, Goodwin, or a Kent... [Originally a 10 things drabble challenge, but expanded]
Author's Notes: Special thanks to TaraKeezer for helping me with the final original 10 read-thoughs. Originally, this was a nice simple Ten Surnames Dawn Never Had fic, but then I couldn't resist doing another drabble. And then another. And then some more.
1 : Dawn Addams
Gomez Addams shuddered in fear and clutched his wife Morticia to him. Together they stared at the terrifying sight before them. How had they come to this? Wednesday had turned out such a credit to their family, but her twin Dawn?
“Dawn Addams?” he creakily managed to get out, “What is the meaning of this… this… outfit?”
Dawn beamed widely and spun around in her bright (bright!) yellow tight top and flaring short skirt. “I’m going to be a cheerleader, daddy!” she chirped, waving her pom-poms expertly in the air.
“A cheerleader?” moaned Gomez.
“Eeeeeeee….” said Cousin It, and fainted.
2 : Dawn Bartlett
Josh Lyman gulped inwardly and tried to make himself become one with the wall of the Oval Office. He noticed some of the Sunnydale ‘experts’ were also trying to become part of the furniture too. Apart that was, from Dawn Bartlett’s newest bodyguard, Buffy Summers - the Slayer.
He’d thought President Bartlett had been bad enough during Zoey’s kidnapping. But finding out that some hell goddess called Glory wanted to sacrifice his youngest daughter? Hadn’t gone down too well.
At all.
For the third time, The President asked “Are you absolutely sure that nuclear weapons won’t work on her, Mr. Giles?”
3: Dawn Bristow
Dawn’s lip curled back in contempt. Really, she’d been kidnapped and threatened before, by much scarier people than Sark. “You do know that my dad and sister are going to find me, right?”
Sark turned his head, and studied her for the first time. “Oh, we do know that, little Miss Bristow,” he said calmly, holding her eyes with his gaze. “And all they have to do to get you back is give us Rambaldi’s Great Key, which we know is in their possession.”
Oh shit. How the hell could Sydney give them the Key, when she was the Key?
4 : Dawn Goodwin
I hung up the phone, and considered the best way to break the news to my employer. Nero Wolfe requires careful handling at the best of times. And when my sister is involved, even more than normal.
Wolfe looked up from the book he was currently reading and grunted enquiringly in my direction.
“That was Inspector Cramer” I said calmly. “Would you happen to know if Mr Parker is available right now? Dawn’s in jail for murder.”
Wolfe’s mouth moved speechlessly for a moment. “For God’s sake!” he roared, angrily ringing Fritz for beer. “That’s the third time this month!”
5: Dawn Kent
“Clark Kent - You’re Superman!” declared Lois Lane, ripping his shirt open to reveal the famous Superman logo underneath it.
Clark’s jaw dropped. “But how..?”
“Oh come on!” said Lois, rolling her eyes. “There’s always this weird stuff happening around you, and now you have this sister suddenly turn up? At the same time as Supergirl starts appearing?”
And two miles high in the air above Metropolis, Dawn-el grinned as she shamelessly eavesdropped with her super-hearing. Rolling over, she started tanning her other side. How exactly did her age group phrase things on Earth? Oh yeah… yellow solar radiation rocked!
