Buffy walked through the cemetery when suddenly a strange feeling went through her. ‘Uh oh’ was all she had time to think before something terrible happened.
She started to sing.
Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real
Nothing here is right
I ‘ve been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That im just going through the motions
Walking through the part
Only he can penetrate my heart….
I was always brave but still alone
But now I think Ive found my home
Crawl out of your grave youll find this fight
Just doesn’t mean a thing
(a group of vamps and a demon appear)
Demon- Boy that girl can sing
Thanx for noticing
Vamps- She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we could tell
That she was going through the motions
Faking it somehow
Demon-Now shes twice the girl we – oooooooowwwwwww
(Buffy runs a sword that was stuck in the ground through the baritone demon)
I wont stay this way forever
True love is my lifes endeaver
(cuts a man who is supposed to be hot loose from a tree)
Man- How can I repay-
Whatever
I don’t wanna be
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can finally see
Where I need to be
And I just wanna be
With Spike
She looked around. The man had fled and the demons where dead. ‘Shit I need to find out whats going on, im rhyming in my head too!’ She walked all the way to Spikes crypt. He wasn’t home but there was a note taped to his door.
“Scoobies, the reason we’re all signing is cuz’ a demon boy named sweet showed up in town. Meet me at the Bronze….he’ll be there!”
Buffy walked alone through the lane that would bring her to the bronze and stopped by a fire that either the homeless or feisty demons had started. She didn’t really care as she reached out and put her hand over it. Her friends in the meantime where still sitting in the magick box and feeling like shit.
Buffy-I touch the fire and it scorches me
I look into it and feel sad
Why do I feel, the answers all to real
I want my big bad
Now through the smoke Sweet calls to me
To make my way across the flame
To save the day
Try not to melt away
Nothing is quite the same
So I will
Walk through the fire
And I wont let it burn
And I will walk through the fire
And …
(Shortly before Buffy stops by)
Spike sighed, he could feel a song coming on. He’d seen this sort of thing before and he taped a guick note to his door and headed for the Bronze, that kinda demon loved a musical kinda place and sunnydale really only had one.
Spike- The torch I bear is burning me
And Buffy needs me ive no doubt
I hope she’s fine, no one hurts whats mine
I better help her out
He walked with a purpose as he headed to the club, the only thing on his mind was her safety.
Sweet- Cause she is drawn to the fire
She has finally learned
And she will walk through the fire
And…
(In the magick box)
Giles- Why have I tried to change her, now I’ve put my charge in danger
Is my slayer all alone out there
Xan- What if Buffy cant defeat it?
Anya- Beady eyes is right where needed. None of us have been all that fair.
Anya/Xander/Tara/Giles- Well see it through its what we should be there to do
So we will walk through the fire
(exit the shop and start towards the bronze)
Buffy-So one by one they turned on me
I quess my friends cant see whats right
Bout who I chose, not one among them knows
That’s Spikes my guiding light
Anya- She left the magic box much graver
Spike- First I’ll kiss her then I’ll save her
Tara- Everything is turning out okay
Spike- No I’ll save her then I’ll kiss her
Willow- I think this lines mostly filler
Buffy-This endless day is finally ending in a blaze
Everyone- And we are caught in the fire
The point of no return
So we will walk through the fire
And….
(Everyone walks into the bronze at the same time but no one can look at each other)
The demon just laughs.
“Well hello everyone, what a beautiful entrance.” He mocked.
“How are you with death scenes?” Buffy shot back.
He just smiled. “Well that’s gloomy.”
“That’s life” she said sadly.
“Come now, is that how you really feel?”
You know how I feel.” Buffy said softly and walked to the conveniently empty middle of the room.
“Lifes a show and we all play our parts
And when the music starts
We open up our hearts"
She peeled of her jacket slowly and saw two wooden- boy things creeping up.
It’s alright, if some things come out wrong
Well sing a happy song
And you can sing along”
Buffy saw the two little pinnochios sneaking up on her so she grabbed a pool cue that was handy and knocked them out…or dead, she wasn’t really sure.
“Wheres theirs life, theirs hope
Everydays a gift
Wishes can, come true
Whistle while, you work
So hard
All day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
Don’t give me songs, don’t give me songs.”
“She needs back up, Anya, Tara” Giles whispered and the two girls took stand behind Buffy and started swaying to the music as she sang.
“Give me something to sing about (ah ah ah ah)
I need something to sing about. (ah ah ah ah)”
“Lifes a song you don’t get to rehearse
And every single verse, can make it that much worse
Still my friends don’t know why I ignore
The million things and more
That their pushing for
All the things they say
‘You and Spike aren’t okay’
Hes a vamp, you slay
Until your dying day
Well that depends
On if they really know
On if they know enough to know
That I need him
Its not a sin
There is no pain, no doubt no fear
When my Spike is near
I love him”
Tears where running down all the scoobies faces now except for Spikes. ‘She loves me’he kept repeating in his head, limitless joy running through him. He saw everyones face and knew that they wouldn’t hassle he and Buffy any more, that they’d finally understood how selfish they’d been. Xander had even mouthed an ‘im sorry’.
“So I wont refrain
Wont live in hell
Wont be expelled
From heaven
I think he is my heaven
So give me something to sing about
Please give me something”
Buffy felt such a sudden rush of energy go through her and she started to let all her anger out into her dancing. She twirled, she slid, she flipped her hair and she spun but it was enough. She started to go in circles, anything to help her through the pain she was feeling because of her friends. She didn’t see the smoke or the tears on her friends faces who realised now that they just wanted her happy, they didn’t care who was doing it for her.
Suddenly Spike was their, holding her, soothing her, saving her.
“Life is a song,
Life can be bliss,
Life is a kiss
It’s living
We’ll get along
The love that you feel
Can only be real
By living
You have to go on living
So that in some way im living”
The music stopped and they all turned to glare at the demon. He just smiled knowingly and stood up from the throne he’d made for himself on the stage.
He raised a hand and spoke. “Now that was a show stopping number.You don’t have to tell me to leave, im going. This have gone real swell, I’ll see you all in hell.” The last part was sung and he turned into this tiny blue light that hovered over Buffy and Spike for a moment before disappearing.
Everyone started talking at once to the couple still holding each other. ‘Im sorry’s’ where shot out of mouths like confetti at Mardi gras and ‘we were wrongs’ followed shortly afterwards.
Xander approached Spike and held out his hand as a peace offering. Spike took it and smiled, which made everyone in turn smile and shake his hand. Buffy had tears in her eyes. She and Spike where gonna be okay and so where her and her friends. Life was good.
But it wasn’t done yet. No, this was Sunnydale, everything had to be dragged out.
They all grouped together.
“Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
The battle’s done and we kinda won
So we sound our vict’ry cheer
Where do we go, from here?”
They all lined up together and stood side by side, slayer, humans and demon, proudly.
“Now that the path is clear
Now we know home is here”
They all looked at each other and smiled as they clasped hands one by one
.
“Understand well go hand in hand
And we wont lose ourselves to fear”
Giles “Tell me”
“Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear-
Spike caught himself doing some nancy boy hand move and laughed. “Bugger this.”
He nudged Buffy so that she knew he would be outside. He walked out the exit and lit a smoke.
She ran out a moment later.
“Hey.”
“You should go back inside, finish the big group sing, get your kumbie-yaya’s out.” He teased.
“I don’t want to.” She smiled.
Spike kept teasing. “The day you sess out what you do want there’ll probably be a parade. 76 bloody trombones.”
“Spike.” It was a plea for him to stop joking and he knew it but he wanted her to know that he wasn’t going to push her.
“Look, you don’t have to say anything.”
“I touch the fire and it scorches me.” Buffy began singing again. Spike raised his eyes heavenwards, ‘when is this gonna end’ but the sound of her adorable voice kinda made him wish it wouldn’t…his eyes bugged…oh no!Not me too!
“I died, so many years ago”
“I look into it and feel sad”
“I promise this is real...”
“But you can make me feel...”
“And this is how I feel.”
They could here the rest of the scoobies sing the last line of their song as they kissed each other passionately.
Spike pulled away first. “Lets go then, don’t wanna snog in public pet….”
Buffy looked at him as if saying ‘ya right’
“Well not tonight anyway.”
She smiled as they walked towards his crypt. He knew there was a song coming, he could feel the magicks not guite out of his system yet and he was nervous. He knew that the spell had them singing what they felt and he didn’t want Buffy to laugh at him. It would kill him all over again.
They walked hand in hand towards her house. “Spike?”
“Ya pet?”
“Im sorry about earlier tonight, I should have stayed with you.” She whispered.
He growled, well the demon part of him did, happy to hear those words.
She giggled. “Do that again please.”
He did it a little louder this time and let his fangs show a little.
Buffy stopped walking suddenly and ran a finger over the fangs, lost in thought. Spike stood as still as he could which turned out to be very since he was dead and didn’t need to breathe.
“I do love you you know?” she asked/ admitted after a few minutes.
“Oh bloody hell.”
She pulled away and frowned, “Not the answer I was looking for but if you don’t feel the-“
She was cut off by him starting to sing and smiled, taking his hand they started walking again.
“I died, so many years ago,
But you can make me feel
Like it isn’t so
And how you’ve come to be with me
I’ll never really know
Mmmm hmmmm”
They reached her door and she unlocked it as they stood on her porch.
“You’re scared,
Not sure bout how I feel
But I can tell you here and now
That this is the real deal
And the whispers from this dead mans mouth
I know it seems unreal”
She invited him in and gently led him towards the stairs, but he stopped there and got on his knees, taking both her hands in his while looking her in the eyes.
“Youre wrong
And I don’t wanna play
Cuz being with you touches me
More then I can say
And since im not just dead to you
Im begging you to stay
And let me have some peace”
He picked her up and continued to sing in that beautifully raspy voice as he slowly carried her up the stairs.
“Let me have some peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and yell it
From a thousand feet
I can lay my body down
Because you’re my sweet release
Let me have some peace.”
Buffy had tears streaming down her cheeks. She knew that what she was hearing was a mix between the poet he’d been as a man (but he never really talked much about William, shed have to get him too soon.) and the demon. She bit his neck and he groaned.
“you know
You got a willing slave
And I just love to fantasize
That you might misbehave
And when you do im begging you
To show up at my grave
And let me have a piece”
She had to giggle at the image of her in a teddy in a grave yard knocking on a vampires crypt. He set her down and she pushed him onto the bed.
“You know,
I cant go
And I follow you
Like a man possessed
Theres a real heart here
Beneath my breast
And it loves you more
Then you’ve ever guessed
If my love would grow
It would break my chest
I have no soul
but I try my best
So stay with me”
She undressed slowly as he sang to her, swaying softly to the words that came from the soul she knew he had, shed have to tell him one day that if he didn’t have a soul but the people who went out and murdered children and raped woman did then he was better off without one.
“And let me have some peace,
Let me get some sleep,
Let me take my love and yell it
From a thousand feet
I can lay my body down
Because you’re my sweet release
Let me have some peace.”
The song faded to nothing as she walked over to him, she noticed his hands where shaking as she lifted them to her lips. Tonight was about love, about sharing everything. Tonight was the night she would give herself to him. Body, soul and blood.
Whew, I hope you guys liked this, please x 300 review. It took me so long to figure out how to change the songs so that they could still be sung almost perfectly to the actual songs from the show. It took a lot of time and a lot of hard work so your opinions wuld be highly appreciated. The next chapter is gonna be short but total Spuffy. The first is gonna show really soon since its gonna be Halloween in about a week, and something big I gonna happen to Spike in the chap after the next. Love yall!
