The Perfect Song

[amazonaa]

This is about how what if Spike and Buffy broke up. Willow and Tara broke up. Xander and Anya broke up and they haven't talked to each other in a month and a half. Well this if about how they would tell there former lovers what they need to tell them.





Chapter one. Help!

Lorne was feeling really bad about the slayer and her pals after Angel had told him about them agreeing to come to L.A. to help with the monster fighting. But they weren't talking to each other.



Lorne had seen people like that before. Keeping all their feelings locked up inside until they went mad.



That's when Lorne decided he was going to help the group of heartache out, because he would hate to see them break apart or worse. Which is why he sent each of them an invitation to come to the bar/club to see if he could help them out.



Of course he didn't tell them that there lovers were coming also.

****



Tara opened the letter that the bell boy had given her. It had her name on the front in big loopy letters.



She opened it to find an invitation to some demon/human bar/club. It said come enjoy good food, drinks, and lots of Karaoke. Tara decided that she was tired of being cooped up all depressedy and so she decided to go.



'At least Willow won't be there.' She thought.

****



And one by one all the other scoobies got the exact same letter with each of there names on it. And all of them Buffy, Tara, Anya, Spike, Xander, and Willow all decided to go and have some fun. Because it was greatly needed.

****



Willow arrived first and went over to the bar to get a drink. Lorne saw her and went to greet her.



Willow was wearing a jean skirt with a red, long sleeve shirt. Next Xander came in wearing jeans and a rather shiny blue silk shirt. He spotted Willow and walked over to say hi.



Xander was in the middle of a sentence when he saw Anya walk in wearing a floral yellow and green dress, with a blue jacket over it.



Willow was about to ask him what was wrong when something too caught her eye at the door. Coming in with Anya was Tara with skin tight, black jeans and a sky blue shirt on. Willow was at a loss for words as she glided into the room.



Tara and Anya both looked up and saw there ex's oogling them from afar. They walked up to them angrily. "What are you doing here?!" Anya asked. "We were invited." Willow said looking down at her drink. "Well so were we." Tara said. A light bulb going off in her head.



Then Buffy and Spike walked in at the exact same time. They both looked at each other and turned to leave when Lorne was there blocking the door.



"What are you guys doin'? You can't leave yet. We have a great show tonight." They looked at each other then went there separate ways. Buffy went to hang out with Willow and Xander and Spike went to greet Anya and Tara.

****



Chapter two. Xander's plea.

Lorne was up on the stage talking. "Hello Ladies and Gents. We have a great show for you tonight. We have six visitors that are here from out of town that really need to get some things off their chests. So without further ado the first person up is Xander Harris."



Everyone started clapping and Xander went pale white.



"Come on Xander." Lorne said. Dragging him on stage. "Now pick a song. And make it meaningful." Xander knew exactly what he meant as he looked down at Anya.



"This one." He said. As he got ready to say everything he's wanted to say since the wedding from hell happened.



Xander looked at the floor as he started to sing.



Time

Sometimes the time just slips away

And your left with yesterday

Left with the memories



He slowly started to lift his head. Looking at everyone but Anya.



I

I'll always think of you

And smile



Xander finally looked straight at Anya. As he said that line and kept his eyes locked on hers.



And be happy for the time

I had you

With me



Anya looked down. Wanting to get away but couldn't help but look up at him and listen.



Though we go are separate ways

I won't forget

So don't forget

The memories we made



Please remember, please remember

I was there for you

When you were there for me



Please remember

Our time together

When time was yours and mine

And we were wild and free



Please remember, please remember

Me



On that last note. Xander's voice cracked and tears started to roll gown his face.



Goodbye

There's just no sense in what to say

And it's sad to walk away

With just the memories

Who's to know

What might have been

We leave behind a lifetime

We'll never know again



Please remember, please remember



Xander repeated the chorus again.



Please remember, please remember

me



And how we laughed, and how we smiled

And I was yours, and you were mine

I stood bye you, you stood bye me



And by now Anya was in tears herself.



Please remember, please remember

Me



And Xander walked off the stage wiping his eyes on his sleeve.

****



The next part will be of someone else's song. i haven't decided who yet though.

[bluehippocampus]

Great start!!! I'm loving Lorne's idea so much. Hope it'll work. I don't like seeing WT away from each other. Can't wait for the next song.

[amazonaa]

Thanks for your great feedback.



bluehippocampus: Don't worry W/T won't be away from each other for long.



mxgirl314: Thank you im glad you like it.



Wired vixen: thanks you won't have to wait long.



Here is Willows song to Tara.





Chapter 3. Willow won't say goodbye.

Lorne came back onstage after Xander went off. He was drying his own eyes.



"Wow! That was wonderful and next will be the lovely Willow Rosenberg." Lorne said. Willow knew this would happen. So she went up and chose the song she wanted and knew she was going to cry and be crushed if Tara still turned away from her.

****



Tara was looking at with hurt in her eyes from seeing Willow stand up there looking so small and helpless. And Willow started to sing.



Why do I say

Don't walk away

You'll be the way

You were before

When you don't want me anymore



Tara couldn't believe what she was hearing. Willow thought she didn't love her anymore. 'Oh goddess Willow. I always loved you.' Tara thought as tears started welling in her eyes.



Don't turn around

Don't ever leave

A lonely room where empty days

Are gathering to meet me

When your gone, gone

How in the world

Will I go on



No matter how hard she tried. Willow just couldn't bring herself to look up at tara. Her soul mate. She could be crying or laughing at her. Willow just didn't want to know.



Don't walk away

All you gotta do is stay



Don't walk away

Don't say goodbye

Don't turn around

Don't let it die



When shadows fall

When day is done

All through the night

All of my life

Don't walk away



Is is a dream

When will it end

When everything

We've ever known

Has ended and i'm alone



Green eyes slowly went up to meet blue. And Willow saw a hint of sapphire she put her head back down.



Where will I go

Where will I be

The feelings that i've never shown



Maybe i'll find the answer

When your gone, gone

How in the world

Will I go on



Tara made a vow that she would make Willow see how much she really loves her.



Don't walk away

All you gotta do is stay



Don't walk away

Don't say goodbye

Don't turn around

Don't let it die



When shadows fall

When day is done

All through the night

All of my life



Don't walk away



Willow ran off the stage, crying. Right into Xander's arms. Oh how Tara wished she could be the one to comfort and hold Willow, but she had to wait. She had to wait her turn.

****



That was Willow's. I'm thinking maybe Spike next.

Chapter 4. Spike was Forgotten.

Lorne was back up onstage. "Gosh. Love is in the air. Are next person up will be William the Bloody.



Spike looked up and saw everyone looking at him. "Oh bloody hell. Why not." he said as he looked for a song. "That's the spirit." Lorne said. Spike pointed out the song he wanted and discarded his jacket.



He was wearing the usual black shirt and pants with a maroon color shirt over the black shirt. Everyone was quiet and Buffy was kind of curious about what he would sing.



Spike wasn't shy at all. He just stood up there and looked straight at Buffy as he started to sing.



Ah oh, ah oh

Ah oh, ah oh



i'm giving up

On everything

Because you messed me up



Buffy looked down at the table because she realized he hated her for what she did and this wasn't going to be a nice song.



Don't know how much you screwed it up

you never listened

That's just to bad

Because i'm moving on

i won't forget



Now they were both staring at each other with evil looks and Buffy had tears threatening to fall.



You were the one

That was wrong

I know I need to step up

And be strong

Don't patronize me



Yeah yeah yeah yeah



spike saw the tears and didn't feel sorry. 'What did she think i would do some poor, little love song? After what she did to me. Well that bitch has another thing coming.' He thought bitterly.



Have you forgotten

Everything that i wanted

Do you forget it now

You never got it

Do you get it now



yeah yeah yeah yeah



Gotta get away

There's no point in

Thinking about yesterday



It's too late now

It won't ever be the same

We're so different now



Yeah yeah yeah yeah



Spike repeated the chorus two more times.



I know I wanna run away

Run away

If only i could run away

Run away



I told you what I wanted

What I wanted

But I was forgotten

I won't be forgotten

Never again



Yeah yeah yeah yeah



Then he walked off the stage and slammed his drink only to order another. Buffy wiped off her eyes. She would show him two can play that game.

****



Don't know who will be next.

[onyxsundrops]

Nicely done. Great update. I do wonder who will be next though.



Yvonne

[mxgirl314]

Spike singing one of Avrils songs? lol I can just see it but it does seem like the perfect song if he was gonna hurt her. Great updates. Can't wait till the next.

[Wired vixen]

Great update! I wonder if Buffy will sing?!........ This is great, keep it acomin'!



TTFN Wired xXx

[BurningWhiteRose]

Spike!



Thata way to be a jerk. Why couldnt it all be weepy and happy sob stories? I love those. They make me very happy. That, and my black Euro-Bohemian Trash glasses. I love my glasses....A true nerd loves their glasses. And weepy happy sob stories. Unless your an angry nerd. Then you like the Ataris, because of Angry Nerd Rock, a great song. Since I have officially lost track of what I was saying...



GREAT JOB!!



Sincerely,

bluehippocampus: Thanks a lot. And that would be funny.

**********************************************



Here is chapter five. Buffy's bad boy.





Chapter 5.

"Not a lot of love there. Well as long as it's true. Are next performer Will be Buffy Summers." Lorne said.



Buffy didn't have any emotion on her face but you could tell she was angry. But secretly inside she was crying because Spike hated her. No reason he shouldn't but still.



Lorne noticed and knew she was going to try and lie. 'Well we can't have that.' He thought to himself.



Buffy had picked the song she wanted. The song she knew would hurt Spike the most, but as she was up there getting ready to sing. She couldn't do it. All the other emotions were flooding out the anger and as the music started she turned and this time picking a song that she meant.



This time as she was standing there, she sang her heart out.

****



Spike was watching her waiting for the words that would break his heart even more. But as the music started and the tears on Buffy's face became more clear. His features softened.



Know all about

About your reputation

And how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation

But I can't help it

if i'm helpless every time i'm where you are



Spike moved closer to the stage as he realized what she was saying.

Buffy noticed him moving closer and watched him.



You walkin'

And my strength walks

Out the door



Say my name

And I can't

fight it anymore



Oh I know I should go

But I need your touch

Just to damn much



Spike smiled at this and looked down.



And lovin' you

Isn't really somethin' I should do

Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you

I should try to be strong

But baby

Your the right kind of wrong



Ya, your the right kind of wrong



Spike stopped walking right in front of the stage as everyone watched.



Might be a mistake

A mistake i'm making

But what your givin'

I am happy to be takin'



'Cause no ones ever made me feel

The way I feel

When i'm in your arms



They say your somethin'

I should do without

They don't know

What goes on

When the lights go out



Buffy smirked as she said that and Spike smiled and shook his head as everyone ooooo'd.



There's no way

To explain

All the pleasure is worth all the pain



Buffy repeated the chorus



I should try to run

But I just can't seem to

'Cause every time I run

Your the one I run to



Can't do without

What you do to me

I don't care

if i'm in to deep, yeah



Know all about

About your reputation

And how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation

But I can't help it

if i'm helpless every time i'm where you are



You walkin'

And my strength walks

Out the door



Say my name

And I can't

fight it anymore



Oh I know I should go

But I need your touch

Just to damn much



Yeah, your the right kind of wrong



After she was done. Buffy jumped into Spike's arms and they kissed and hugged like there was no tomorrow.

****



That was chapter 5. Chapter six will be here today or tomorrow.

[Stormforce]

Hey there. I like this, I'm just wondering what Tara is going to sing for Willow...anyway can't wait for the next chapter.

To be forgotten is worse than death.

[Yellow Crayon]

Hey, im keeping with your fic, its really good.

keep it goin'.

[ichi chan]

S'good. Really good. An interesting idea. I wonder what Tara'll sing... Good ole Caritas. Saves people all the time. Wait.. IS this Caritas? Or just a random bar? Another question: is Lorne reading them?

"Great, I s-s-stutter even in my t-thoughts..." - my role play character Tara.

[amazonaa]

Wired vixen: Thank ya



bluehippocampus: Sorry. And i will try to go for no more treachery.



Stormforce: Don't worry Tara will be up after Anya. And Anya is up now. Thanks for reading.



Yellow Crayon: Thank you.



ichi chan: To be truthful what is Caritas? And yes he is reading them. Thanks for reading.

**********************************************



Here is chapter six.





Chapter 6. Anya's in love.

"Well that song had a little more information in it." Lorne said. "Next will be Anya Jenkins." Anya had thought long and hard about what song she wanted and knew just what she wanted to say.

****



Xander didn't really want to hear what Anya had to say but decided he would not be a man and not hide.



I had no choice

But to hear you

You stated your case

Time and again

I thought about it



You treat me like

I'm a princess

I'm not used to liking that

You ask how my day was



Xander looked at Anya and saw her smiling. He couldn't take his eyes away from that smile. Ever!



You've already won me over

In spite of me

Don't be alarmed if I fall

Head over feet



And don't be surprised

If I love you

For all that you are



I couldn't help it

It's all your fault



Xander started to smile and was thinking how unbelievable Anya was.

Anya saw Xander smile and was happy. 'D'Hoffryn be damned.' She thought to herself.



Your love is thick

And it swallowed me whole

Your so much braver

Then I gave you credit for



You are the bearer

of unconditional things

You held your breath

And the door for me

Thanks for your patience



You're the best listener

That i've ever met

You're my best friend



Anya said thinking back to when she was doing her vows.



Best friend with benefits



Xander thought back to when Anya had first asked her to sleep with him. And to 'Please remove his clothing.'



What took me so long

I've never felt

This healthy before



I've never wanted

Something rational

I am aware now

I am aware now



You've already won me over

In spite of me

Don't be alarmed if I fall

Head over feet



And don't be surprised

If I love you

For all that you are



I couldn't help it

It's all your fault

It's all your fault



Then Anya got off the stage and ran into Xander's arms. "It really is your fault ya know." Anya said ruining the mood. "I know Anya. Now shut up." Xander said. Then he kissed her and slid the ring back on her finger.



She looked at him. "Some day. I promise." Then she hugged him.

****



Well that was chapter six. And now since your all really inpatient. I will try and get Tara's song up tonight. If I can't I will do it first thing in the morning.

CEsgirl13: Thanks Skye. Glad you like it.

**********************************************



Here is chapter 7.





Chapter 7. Tara wants her, Always.

Lorne was on stage again. "Well that's two. Now there is one more performer. Lets see if we can get another happy ending. Tara Maclay."



Tara got up there and had her song. She looked out at the crowd and saw Willow trying to hide. "I'll get her to look at me." Tara said to herself. Then she started to sing.

****



Willow didn't want to look at Tara. She didn't want to see the hurt in her eyes. The hurt that Willow herself had put there.



I've been here before

A few times

And i'm quite aware

We're dying



And your hands

They shake

With goodbye's



And i'll take you back

If you'll have me



Willow looked up at this and saw Tara looking right at her. Her Tara was singing this to her.

Tara saw Willow look up and put everything she had into the song.



Come on let me



Hold you

Touch you

Feel you

Always



Kiss you

Taste you

All night

Always



Willow waited to hear what else Tara wanted to say before she got her hopes up.



And I missed your laugh

Your smile

I'll admit i'm wrong

If you'll let me



I'm so sick of fights

I hate them

Lets start this again

For real



Tara smiled and Willow looked at her and mouthed 'Really'. Tara nodded as she kept singing.



So here I am

I'm trying

So here I am

Are you ready



Willow nodded her head and stood up.



Come on let me



Hold you

Touch you

Feel you

Always



Kiss you

Taste you

All night

Always



Then Tara walked down the steps and off the stage as Willow started to walk to wards her. Then they both started sprinting until they had met. Kissing and hugging, wrapping themselves around each other.

****



That was chapter 7. Now there is one more chapter. So be waiting for that.
