Ok this is my first song fic on here. I tried to put it on TtH but it got booted off and I'm really pissed. I want feedback. Good, bad, whatever. And now, on with the fic. One shot about the relation ship between Buffy and Faith. Is NOT a romance or Slash fic. Please R&R. Thanks.

Ok just a quick authors note before we start. Now Faiths' lines have just the one mark on top. Buffys' have full on quotation marks. When you see the lines in parenthesees, that meens that there are two characters singing at diferrent times.If you have any questions or comments just review of email me.

'I'm limeted, just look at me.I'm limeted. And just look at you, you can do all I couldn't do, Buffy. So now it's up to you, for both of us. Now it's up to you.'

Buffy was shocked. When that Lorne demon had asked her to sing, she defintly hadn't expected this. She hadn't even wanted to sing, but Angel was right. There was just something about that guy that made you do stuff you really, really didn't want to do. So here she was, on a stage with a glittering purple curtain at her back, a mixture of humans and demons in front and Faith by her side. She heard her cue and started.

" I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason. Bringing something we must learn and we are lent to those who help us most to grow, if we let them and we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you."

"Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun, like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through a wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better but, because I knew you... I have been changed for good."

Faith had heard this song before, who hadn't, living with Andrew and some Broadway obsesed slayers. But she'd never really listened to the song, til now. She thought it was amazing that a song from a musicial, based on a book, based on The Wizard of Oz could have such an impact on them. Because this song was all about them. She started to sing and she sang with all she could muster.

'It well may be that we may never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part. So much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.'

'Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea, like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better but because I knew you...( Because I knew you,) I have been changed for good.'

Their voices blended togeather in perfect harmony, as they were able to say what they could never have said before.

'And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you've blaimed me for.'

And it was true, she did want forgiveness. She still looked back on when she has gone bad and she shuddered.

"But then I guess we know there's blame to share."

And there was. Buffy and the Scoobies had been just as much to blame for Faiths' going to the Dark Side as she or the Mayor had.

" But none of it seems to matter anymore."

And now, it didn't.

"Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun,"

'(Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea,)'

"like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood".

'( like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood.)'

"Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better."

" And because I knew you..."

'Because I knew you...'

" Because I knew you, I have been changed... for good."

Lorne wiped a stray tear from his cheek. " I wonder if they would want a contract?"

End.
