Summary - After Sweet wrought havoc on Sunnydale in 'Once More, With Feeling', he got bored and took a stroll on down to L.A. to visit an old friend . . .
Pairings - Angel/Cordelia, Gunn/Fred
Prologue - Sweet's Grand Entrance
(The music from 'That's what it's all about') is heard as Sweet tap dances his way down a deserted LA alley)
SWEET: So I ran away
I blew the Sunnydale scene
There ain't no way I'm gay
So why'd that Xander. . . summon meeeeeeeee. . .
So I don't got my queen anymore
But it's LA, I'll just find a cheap whore
Then I'll go back home
With my queen of harmony. . .
(Different demons come out and start dancing behind Sweet, sort of like 'West Side Story')
SWEET: All I need is to find a beauty
So she can be my demonic cutie. . .
DEMONS (softly singing a part similar to Dawn's): She'll be great, just you wait, with a voice like a lark. . .
SWEET: Someone blond, or maybe a brunette
And that Slayer, she's not here to ruin it
DEMONS: She'll be slick, awfully quick, and the Queen of the Dark. . .
SWEET: Now, I'm taking off
That's what it's all about. . .
SCENE 1: EVENING WAKE-UP CALL
(Cordelia is walking around the Angel Investigations office, dusting . She's alone. She pauses in her work as a faint, melancholy piano song starts, and then she begins to sing.)
CORDELIA: I used to be the biggest bitch that ever walked the street
In Sunnydale's halls, I had it all, my life was so complete
(Looks at the chair she just dusted)
And here I am, half demon, dusting off a vampire's seat. . .
What is this all for?
Is there something more?
(An alarm clock rings)
CORDELIA: (speaking) Oh great, now it's time for the. . .
(Wesley, Gunn and Lorne dance into the room, singing, as trumpets come in and the tempo picks up)
WESLEY, GUNN, AND LORNE: Evening wake up call!
The sun has set, the night shall fall
And now, before he starts to toss,
It's time to call our vampire boss!
(They all swing around with their arms out toward the staircase, presenting Angel, pulling a shirt on and yawning as he walks down the stairs. He begins to sing wretchedly off-key)
ANGEL: Evening all, it's time to work!
GUNN: (with his hands over his ears) God, Angel, you sing like a jerk!
LORNE: (to Gunn) Easy man, don't go berserk!
Your voice ain't golden either.
(Fred walks in, carrying Baby Connor)
FRED: Angel, here, I got your son
He thought the weapons were sort of fun.
I grabbed him before he chewed on a sword
The kid's a little teether.
CONNOR: (In a little baby voice) At least I'm sane, you stupid ding-ding!
(Everyone looks shocked)
WESLEY: Did I just hear that baby singing?
CORDELIA: Quiet, Brit, my head is ringing!
(Everyone goes 'oooh')
GUNN, WESLEY, LORNE and FRED: (harmonically) She's having a vision!
ANGEL: (muttering to himself) I still don't think my voice deserves that much derision. . .
(Cordelia looks up)
CORDELIA: Listen up, we got a job
Though it may seem quite macabre
A demon's gonna attack a man named BOB
Outside of Caritas, in a half hour
ANGEL: Drat! And my car doesn't have any power!
GUNN: (Looking all happy and immature) Should I drive my truck!?
EVERYONE BUT GUNN: (shouting at Gunn) WE DON'T GIVE A. . .
