"Ohio Calling"
AUTHOR: jamiesgotagun15
RATING: K+
DISCLAIMER: I don't own characters, the settings, anything like that. But I did write the songs and feedback on them, and the story of course, would be much appreciated.
SONGS: The song in this chapter, just to give readers a vague idea, is at an upbeat sort of tempo, and meant to sound a bit jazzy.
Curtain Calling!
INT. – CLEVELAND, OHIO – SMALL APARTMENT- DAY
(Slowly pan across an almost empty apartment complex. All modern furniture and such is neat and tidy, with the exception of where the youngest Summers, DAWN, sits, amidst a pile of papers. Research? Hardly, anymore. More like homework. WILLOW and XANDER are seated across from each other on a small couch, chattering quietly. We continue pan until stopping in the miniscule kitchen where BUFFY is seated at the table, staring out the window, watching the sun go down.)
WILLOW
C'mon, Buffy! The movie is starting. You're going to miss the beginning.
BUFFY
(Coming out of her slight daze, she stares behind her at the comfy couch, beckoning her name.)
Just a sec' guys!
(Buffy turns back to the window briefly, sighing once, and then soon begins singing.)
BUFFY
It's had a hold on me forever
Somehow
Why am I still worrying over
The Hell mouth?
(She looks away from the window and starts to stand.)
I'm not the only one anymore
The Slayer
I guess now I can agonize about the apocalypse
Later
But I'm still better than the rest
A Hero
Maybe retired but not yet
An average Joe
(Buffy walks outside to the balcony and leans over it, overlooking the rural Cleveland.)
But why can't I forget?
I've got what I want
And I think I've finally met
The Beginning of Something Beautiful
So why do I miss
The everlasting bliss
Of maiming evil creatures?
(Things below the complex are quiet. A few people exit and enter ever so often, showing the change from Sunnydale's bustling city.)
I kind of feel like
Useless
No need to bring a stake around
Thoughtless
Too Many Players In the Game
(She moves back inside, shutting the door behind her and begins to dance, spinning around through the kitchen.)
But why can't I forget?
I've got what I want
And I think I've finally met
The Beginning of Something Beautiful
So why do I miss
The everlasting bliss
Of maiming evil creatures?
(Buffy finally slows and takes her original seat by the window. She quiets down as the music slows and softens.)
I've got what I want
I'm happy now
I should be normal
But I…
(Pause.)
Don't know how…
(The music begins to fade until finally, sighing, the slayer exits the kitchen and enters the living room where XANDER, WILLOW, and DAWN are all staring at her, wide eyed.)
(Pause. Then everybody turns to stare at Xander.)
XANDER
I didn't do it this time! I swear!
