No warnings in this one. It's pretty PG. Many thanks to Mattallicarock, my beta, for his reading,
support and suggestions.

As promised earlier this week, I have the new chapter of
Anywhere Out of This World ready to post. This chapter is written in three scenes. Two of them are Dawn/Andrew-centric and they are among my favorite so far.
I wrote the first scene, in which Dawn sketches Andrew, many months ago, and it is what fostered the idea of their eventual pairing. In that scene, Dawn gets a further glimpse into her powers. In part, I owe one of my favorite authors, Roger Zelazny, for the idea of Dawn's power. It's a lot like the way Amberites use Trump as a means of travel and communication in the Amber Chronicles. Since I've been obsessed with Amber far longer than with Buffy, it was bound to pop up eventually.
The middle scene, a dream sequence with Spike, I added over the last week. He may be in a magically induced torpor, but he's not out by a long shot! The final scene returns to Andrew and Dawn, as Andrew deals with the implications of Dawn's experience with Brodie.
