Hi everyone been a member for awhile just couldn't get the creative juices flowing inside the time and number of words restrictions. This thought hit me last night before work and it wouldn't budge. The idea is that this is one of those *memories* the monks stuffed in Dawn's head from her "childhood".
***Timeline: This is obviously pre-series and I probably screwed around with the timelines a bit but went with Buffy and Dawn being born in 1981 and 1984 respectfully.
***Side note: According to Vault Disney Cinderella and Bambi were re-released to theatres in 1987 and 1988 respectfully so it sorta worked, and I don't know if any theatres still do summer movie camp but I remember one around here doing that several years ago. this is also the first time I've used a cut tag so hopefully it works
Part One
Dawn remembers watching Cinderella last year when it was re-released in theatres, as she waits impatiently for the ticket teller to give Buffy their tickets and change. Although she‘d seen Bambi on videotape several times before, she’d been excited for this week of summer movie camp. They headed to the refreshment counter with their special camp coupons to retrieve their free kid’s popcorn and pop. Being so early in the day few people were there except those for movie camp. It would let out well before sunset, which is why Joyce thought it was okay to let them go alone.
Part Two
Dawn felt very grown up. She was going to start preschool that fall and her mother was allowing her to go to the movies alone with her sister. At the thought of school Dawn smiled happily, she couldn’t wait to learn to read and write. Unlike Buffy, Dawn liked the thought of going to school. As the movie began she became engrossed in watching the escapades of Thumper and Bambi and mouthing the words along to some parts, ”but they sure are awful stuff to eat”. She grins as Thumper says that line, one of her favorites in the movie.
***There was going to be at least one more but work called and want me in tomorrow (my day off!). So I've gotta stop and post it tomorrow night in my journal if anyone wants more let me know and I'll make sure I get it done. G'nite all!
