Summary: Xander and Willow's thought before and after Xander asks Buffy to the dance.

I wanna feel

Look at Buffy. Today is the day. I am going to ask her to the dance, and she is going to say yes... I hope. Maybe I should just wait. Maybe not. If she's going to say no, she'll say no any day. Unless today just isn't her day, or maybe today is her day and if I do wait, I'll ask her on the wrong day. So when should I ask her?

The way you make me feel

There's Xander. C'mon Willow, say something to him. I need to ask him to the dance before he asks Buffy. Of course Buffy would say no, I think. She's a 16-year-old girl, she's allowed to change her mind. But would she say yes to Xander? She knows I'm crazy about him, but then again, he's crazy about her.

When I'm with you

Right now. Go ask her. Ask her anything. Ask her to the movies or dinner, just avoid the Spring Fling topic. No, I can't avoid it. I have to ask her to the dance. She will say yes. She will say yes. She will say yes. But what if she says no? No, she won't. I have to ask her right now, or I will chicken out. She WILL say yes.

I wanna be the only hand

Oh God, I think I'm to late. I think Buffy and Xander are on the dancing subject right now. I think she is going to say yes, but that's ok... right? For Xander, at least. He loves her, and he should be with her. I want him to be happy. He'll be happy with her. I guess that's fine with me that he is happy. It's just he's happy with Buffy, and not happy with me.

You need to hold on to

She said no. Today wasn't her day. I should have waited, or maybe I waited to long. Of course there is the very probable explanation that no matter what day I asked her out on, she would have said no. Everyday was really her day. It's just those days were for Angel, not me.

But every time I call

She said no! I can't smile. I can't show Xander how happy it makes me feel. He's hurting, and I could comfort him! No, I just need to listen. He needs me to listen to him. But how can I listen? She said no! Wait, he's going to ask me something. Questions are something I should listen to, so I have to right answer. I am good at right ans... Oh God, I don't know the answer to this.

You don't have time.

She said no. And she said no. Both Willow and Buffy said no. Now I am here at home, alone. Willow is my best friend, she was supposed to say yes. We were supposed to just go and have fun as best friends, but she said no. Who am I kidding? She had every right to say no. I am a horrible best friend, very horrible. Now who's "no" am I more upset about? Buffy's or Willow's?

I guess I'll never get

I said no? Am I crazy? I must be. I wasn't thinking. That's what I wanted for so long. I need to tell Xander that. That I just wasn't thinking, and craziness took over my brain. Of course, would I really feel better? Would I rather be here all alone, or at the dance with Xander, as he is pretending I'm Buffy? Maybe there is some sense in my craziness. Or maybe it is just love.
