Disclaimer: I still own nothing, except for my laptop and my car. Joss owns everything I want. I'm just borrowing his characters for my own sick and twisted fun. Hehehe!
Summary: This happens a couple days after Chosen. When they have time to do whatever they want, what will the scoobies do? Karaoke, of course. Faith is forced to sing, what will she sing and to whom.
Spoilers: Well if you haven't seen Chosen, it's not that big of a deal. It only deals with two characters mainly. But, if you didn't know that Faith is back fighting on the side of good then we have a problem.
Rating: I guess R, of whatever that is on here, just for some bad language.
Warning: This story contains hints of, or maybe more in the future, of girl and girl relationships. If that is not your thing then don't continue reading this
Paring: mainly, Faith/Buffy, of course. I love them together.
A/N: I know that I should be working on Her Eyes but I got side tracked and this story got stuck in my head and this is all I could think about. Once this is up, I will work on a chapter for of Her Eyes for ya. I promise. I don't know if this should just be a one shot or more. Let me know.
A/N 2: Ok, just so ya'll know, I was watching Hercules when I wrote this. The name of the song is the title. Just so we clear some things up. Feedback: Yes please, I love to know what I'm doing right and if I'm just suck at this in general. Also, I've had a hard time uploading this to fanfiction, so I did this onnotepad. sorry if it looks bad.With all that said, on with the story.
L. A. Karaoke Bar
"Oh come on Fai, just at least pick out a song. You won't have to sing, but if you get really drunk and want to, then you'll at least have a song to sing." And then she gives me those puppy dog eyes. I would gladly run out into traffic if she asked me to, but I aint gonna say that.
"Fai? Is that a nickname you just gave me there B?" Ya I know I'm avoiding going up there and picking out a song. But if I do, I know she'll make me sing since I picked one out. Probably don't even have the one song I want to sing anyways.
"Well, yeah. Everyone else has a nickname and since your part of the group again, I figured you could use one. Ever since you called me B I've always wanted to shorten your na- Wait. You changed the subject! Just go up there and pick a song and I promise I won't make you sing it unless you want to." Damn, those puppy dog eyes again. Oh, and now I've got that pout to go with it. What I wouldn't do to just kiss that lip. Stop thinking that and answer her already.
"Fine B. But I'm only doing it so I don't have to see your pathetic look anymore."
"Thanks Fai. And it's not pathetic, even if it is, it still worked. Oh yeah, go me."
"Whatever B. Now leave me alone cause I'm not gonna sing and I don't want you to make fun of my song choice." God, another look like that and I might just sing to see another look on her face.
"Fine Fai, I'm just going to go back and work my face on someone who will sing." Good, she's gone. Now to search for any song that I know. I know they won't have the one song I really want anyways.
"Holy shit. They have it. Maybe I should sing so she'll finally know. Fuck it, I'm not singing." I can't believe they have it. I'm not going to sing though because I don't want the Scoobies to know about my Disney movie obsession. I can just hear them now, 'Hahaha, Big bad Faith likes Disney movies!' Just because I have every Disney movie, doesn't mean I like them, does it? Fuck it, I'm screwed.
15 minutes later
Wow, who'd of thought that the X-man could sing. I always knew G-man could, but Xander surprised the hell outta me. The only one that I want to hear sing hasn't even got off her ass to look at songs. I know that she won't sing. Wait, why is there an evil grin on her face.
"That was Xander Harris everyone. Let's give it up for him." The whole room cheered, hell, even I did, "Now let's have our next singer come up here... Is there a Faith here?" What! Oh, B, you're in for it now.
"Go on Fai. He's calling your name." B says like she has no idea that she did.
"Just wait B. You'll be up there soon."
"Yeah but not now." And she's smiling at me. She's giving me that thousand watt smile that only she can give and I know I don't want to, but I cave.
"Fine. But this aint over." I grumble as I go up on stage and hand the man the piece of paper I've been twisting around in my hands for fifteen minutes.
"Are you ready?" The man asks me as he finds the CD he's looking for.
"I guess," I barely breathe out, "And if anyone out there makes fun of me, they're in for a serious ass beating." I say into the mic and the Scoobies all change into their serious faces. All except for Buffy, who happened to move closer to the stage. Probably so she can make fun of me to my face because she knows she's the only one who can take me.
The music starts and all I can think of is, this one's for you B.
(note: denotes the singers on the CD)
"If there's a prize for rotten judgement,
I guess I've already one that.
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that!"
Who'd ya think you're kiddin'
He's the earth and heaven to you
More like a She, and she's standing directly in front of me.
"Oh nooooo."
Who you're thinking of
"Oh, No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no"
You swoon, you sigh why deny it, uh-oh
"It's to cliche I won't say I'm in love." And now I'm looking directly into her eyes. Making sure she knows who this song is to.
"I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip, girl
Unless your dying to cry your heart out Oh" And then it hits me. This song fits me to a tee. I'm in love and I won't say it. Saying it makes it true and I won't do that. I'm big bad Faith. Yeah big bad Faith singing a Disney song.
"Oh nooooo"
Face it like a grown- up
When ya gonna own up
That ya got, got, got it bad
" Whoa, No chance, no way I won't say it, no, no" Yeah I've got it bad but that doesn't matter, she'll never feel it.
"This scene won't play. I won't say I'm in love."
You're doing flips read our lips
You're in love
"You're way off base I won't say it
Get off my case I won't say it." And then I see it in her eyes. The recognition, the surprise, the.. love? No it's not that. But she knows I'm singing about her. Only one thing to do is finish the song.
"Oh, at least out loud, I won't say I'm in love." And then nothing. Not a single applause until B starts clapping, everyone joins in, and I see a tear rolling down her face.
"Let's give it up for Faith everyone. Wasn't she awesome?.." And his voice fades away as I'm off the stage and looking directly at those Hazel eyes that made me fall for her in the first place.
"Fai, that was, that was,"
"Don't say anything. It was nothing. I used to sing in front of the mirror at home all the time. I don't want to hear how bad I-"
"I wasn't going to say that. You were awesome. But, just one question."
She thinks I'm awesome. "Go ahead." Don't ask me who it was about. Don't, don't, don't.
"Out of all the songs, why'd ya pick a Disney song?"
Not the question I was expecting. "Cause B, you made me pick one and I didn't think I'd have to sing it anyways. Besides, it seemed right."
"Why? Was there someone you were singing to?"
Oh no, she's not getting off that easy. "You said one question. That was three. Anyways, if the person I was singing to is as smart as I think s- they are, then they know."
"Ok, Fai. I get it. I think that they do know, you should just tell them that you feel that way. Maybe they feel the same way."
"Maybe they do, but I think you should get ready cause you're up next." Haha. Take the B.
"What?" Confusion is flashing across her face as the DJ says her name again.
"Come on up Buffy. I'm not gonna wait forever." The DJ says, looking directly at Buffy, knowing that she has been the only one in our big group to not go up yet.
"Oh, it's so on Fai."
"Whatever girlfriend. Just go up there and sing your heart out." I know I did.
"Fine, but it's not over."
"You can't take me." And with that B goes up and scribbles down a song and hands it to the DJ. I just wonder what she's gonna sing.
TBC...
A/N 3: I know I said if I didn't know if I should continue but I realized while writing this that I had to. What will Buffy sing? Does she feel the same? Does she know that Faith was singing to her? I know, but do you? I will update as soon as possible. Reviews help me update faster.
A/N 4: I don't own the song "I won't say I'm in Love" I just borrowed it for a little bit.
