A/N: Lyrics are between **'s OK! Oh and any wording between these __ flashbacks__ are flashbacks got it? GOOD! On with the show.
Buffy turned on the water to the bath, stripped off her clothes and put on her robe. She stepped out of the bathroom to her bedroom to get her radio and an apple scented bath oil. She walked back in the bathroom and plugged in the radio. A DJ's voice came on:
"Good evening, Sunnydale. This WWGH tuning you into you favorite songs that I, DJ K. hope chill you out after a hard day. So just sit and relax."
"Relax", Buffy thought out loud, "hardly."
Meanwhile, in the Sunnydale cemetery a blonde vampire walk in to the lower level of his crypt. He flopped on the remains of his recently blown up bed and closed his eyes. Thoughts ran through his head. 'Buffy glowing in her dress, his lil' bit in her dress, his stupid attempt at making Buffy jealous.' He opened his eyes, breaking his train of thought and feeling the need to pace.
He stood up and walked around, looking for something to drink. Instead he found empty liquor bottles left over from the night Buffy called it quits. Growling he stumbled onto his little radio and turned it on. A voice sounded from the radio:
"…Evening, Sunnydale. This WWGH tuning you into you favorite songs that I, DJ K. hope chill you out after a hard day. So just sit and relax."
He laid back on his bed as a song that kind of reminded him of Buffy and himself.
** Chill out
What you yellin for?
Lay back
It's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin in your car
And you're talkin to me one-on-one
But you become
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me **
Yeah, that was his Buffy alright. The woman he loved, that he would do anything for, that he would die for. Yeah that was her.
Anya sat in her hotel room. She had been offered her powers back. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to hurt Xander like he hurt her but she really did love him. She loved him with all her heart. She got up and turned on her radio.
** Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no **
Anya sighed and sat back down
_____________________________________________________________
Buffy sat in the tub, swirling her finger around in the apple scented bubbles. She wonder if Spike was listening to the same song. She wonder if she did really love him. She shook her head violently of her thoughts. She realized that the next part song really resembled Spike that night before he told her that he loved her. That night at the Bronze when she put him down as not being her "talking buddy". She remembered that night….
__BUFFY: What are you doing?
SPIKE: Wha, what do you mean what am ... I ...
BUFFY: Here? At this table? Talking to me. Like we're some kind of talking buddies.
SPIKE: Well, I saw you ... sitting here alone. Thought, I don't know, you could, maybe do with a bit of, uh, you know, company.
Buffy raises her eyebrows at him. Spike frowns.
SPIKE: Suit yourself!
He gets up. Focus on Buffy looking back over at the dance floor.
SPIKE: Although...
He sits back down as Buffy rolls her eyes.
SPIKE: It's just, we took on that Glory chippie together, I was right there with you, fightin' the fight.
BUFFY: Actually, you were sleeping the sleep of the knocked unconscious.
SPIKE: Still, points for intent. (Buffy looks doubtful) You'd think that would be enough to cut me a sliver of slack. Earn a little consideration, respect.
XANDER: Hey, uh, Evil Dead, you're in my seat.
We see Xander and Anya standing behind Spike. He turns his head to look at them, sighs.
SPIKE: Bugger it.__
She sighed as the next verse of the song played.
** You come over unannounced
Dressed up like you're somethin else
Where you are and where it's at you see
You're makin me
Laugh out
When you strike a pose
Take off
All your preppy clothes
You know
You're not foolin anyone
When you become
Somebody else
Round everyone else
Watchin your back
Like you can't relax
You tryin to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me*
Tara sat and looked over her exam paper that she was to turn in the next day. Being incredblely bored she tapped her pencil on the edge pf her note book to the chorus of a song that was playing on the radio. It reminded her of Willow. They were happy, magic aside. Tara sighed. Willow had let go of magic but she knew the urge would be there for a while to come. She wanted to be with Willow but… Tara shook her head and continued to 'read' her paper. Listening to the song she sighed and laid her head down on her pillow.
**Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're actin like you're somebody else
Gets me frusterated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn into
Honestly, you promised me
I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
(no no no)
No no
(no no no)
No no
(no no no)
No no**
Buffy sighed as her thoughts continued toward what if Spike and her were a really couple. She slapped her hands down on the water causing water to splash toward all different angles. She huffed and slid her head under water. When she came up for air, she noticed she was becoming a human prune and that there was still a sink full of dished waiting for her downstairs. She climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around her body. She looked at the radio which was playing on the last verse she slid her small form to sit by the sink and listened to the rest of the song as her body was wrecked with small sobs.
