Summary: Beware the Ides of March? I have no idea!

---

Dawn clutched the beautifully wrapped present.

"It's gorgeous, Buffy. I almost don't want to open it!"

"Then you'll never see what's inside, will you?" teased Buffy.

Dawn, the paper-shredder struck, opening the plain white box. It was a doll - a dead-ringer for Dawn! The big, innocently mischevous eyes, the pert nose, the crinkly grin, the dusty brown hair.

"It's beautiful!" Dawn, giddy with joy, put the doll down and enveloped Buffy in a monster hug!

Then she reached for the doll - which promptly bit her!

"Ow!"

Buffy leaped across the coffee-table, grabbed the doll and crushed it.

"Damned Voodoo dolls."
