*~* Alright here's the "musical" chapter. I wanted a nice semi- lighthearted chapter before some of the other stuff started. Plus I thought it would be funny! A lot is going to be happening, so get some popcorn and soda and use the bathroom before you start reading! Hehe! Review! Oh and another note when people are singing the lyrics will have * around it.*~*

Everyone in the hotel had gathered into the lobby. Lorne had gone out and rented a karaoke machine trying to make it as painless for everyone as possible. Especially himself. The situation had been explained and although reluctant everyone had agreed to sing.

"Alright so who wants to go first?" Lorne asked looking around. He held the mic in his hand as if he had his club back again.

Everyone avoided eye contact with Lorne hoping that he wouldn't ask them to come up and sing. Finally someone spoke up.

"Oh bloody hell I'll go first." Spike exclaimed

Lorne handed him the mic.

"Alright so some of you won't know this song 'cause I'm taking it back to the years when people loved my hair." Spike said into the mic getting a chuckle out of the Scooby's and especially Buffy who had always given him flack on his hair.

"Right so the chorus has meaning that uh some of you will understand. Right then. " The Music began and Spike looked at Buffy who only smiled back.

*I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversations.

She's coming in 12:30 flight

Her moonlight wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation.

I stopped an old man along the way.

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say

Hurry boy it's waiting there for you.*

In the interim of instrumental before the chorus Spike walked closer to Buffy.

*It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

there's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rain down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.*

Those who had known exactly how Spike acquired his soul saw the obvious connection of this song.

"That was wonderful Spike just wonderful!" Lorne exclaimed then turning to Wesley who had a pen and a piece of paper ready to write down what Lorne saw. "Not too much on this one. There were the two slayers he killed, but other then getting a soul and his love for Buffy nothing else really showed up." Wesley wrote down what was said.

"Alright." Lorne said staring at the crowd. One by one the potentials sang. Some showing their deaths by Ubervamps and bringers, others nothing more than what they had left behind.

Cordelia was next. Lorne grimaced knowing what he was in for.

*In the arms of the Angel

fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room

and the emptiness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent revere

You're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort here*

Lorne looked to have a look of relief come over him when she was finished butchering the song. Anya was next.

*A kiss on the hand may be quite continental

but diamonds are a girl's best friend

a kiss may be grand but it won't pay rental

on your humble flat.*

Before Anya could sing anymore of the song Dawn burst into laughter which followed by Xander, Giles, Buffy, Willow, and Spike joining in remembering how big of a deal Anya made about money when Giles had left her in charge of the magic box.

Gunn stepped up next. He grabbed the mic and obviously felt the need to say something before her began. "Now I just want to say that singing this does not make me any less of a man." Everyone looked puzzled until the music began.

*It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you

but when we are apart I feel it too

and no matter what I do I feel the pain

with or without you.*

The potentials and Dawn seemed to be enjoying the song as most teenyboppers would. Everyone was laughing hysterically except Fred who felt the real meaning of the song.

No one seemed like they wanted to follow that act until Erin spoke up and volunteer. When the music began Buffy recalled hearing the song last year when Giles had left her. The night when things had really began with her and Spike.

*Of all the things I've believed in

I just wanna get this over with

Tears form behind my eyes

But I do not cry

Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old

Feels like I'm starting all over again

The last three years are just pretend.*

As Erin finished Lorne began telling Wesley everything he saw. "Everything that I saw before. But now I see her and Spike tied together. Like they share some common bond." Wesley looked puzzled but just shrugged. Willow and Xander opted to sing together.

*Xander: Listen baby

ain't no mountain high

ain't no valley low

ain't no river wide enough baby

Willow: If you need me call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far.

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry.*

Wesley went next and sang Smooth Criminal which no one really could understand why. Angel much to everyone's dismay was after him.

*I'll be you're crying shoulder

I'll be loves suicide.*

"It'll be suicide if he doesn't stop singing." Spike mumbled to Buffy who burst out laughing.

Buffy was next. She didn't want to sing you could tell. She stood there trying to figure out what to sing. She finally decided on one and the music began.

*A Moment Like this

Some people wait a lifetime

For a moment like this.*

Everyone applauded at Buffy's performance obviously not thinking it would go as well as it did. Lorne looked at Wesley frowning. "Do you know a Drusillia?" He asked Wesley who nodded. "That's what I saw." Lorne replied.

Dawn performed I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman, followed by Faith who sang Complicated which made so many people angry having to hear the highly overplayed song again. Fred went second to last hoping that they would forget that she hadn't sung.

"Okay so um I'm going to sing a Broadway song because I'm not really into the current music." Fred immediately went into What Did I Ever See In Him from Bye Bye Birdie.

"Alright so who's left? Oh the new guy. Ozzy right?" Lorne said.

"Oz" Oz corrected.

"Okay so at first I was thinking about doing that old American favorite Baby Got Back, but after I saw Gunn up here killing himself, I decided on another song that has more meaning."

*You're all I ever wanted

You're all I ever needed, yea

So tell me what to do now

'Cause I

Want You Back.*

Oz sang the rest of the song staring directly at Willow the whole time. Kennedy's eyes flashed with anger as she saw Willow blush at her ex's serenade.

When all were through singing everyone went their separate ways. Angel and Wesley were talking leaving the paper to be seen by anyone.

Erin looked around to see if anyone was watching. She wanted to see what they had written down. She glanced over everyone's name. When she got to Spike she gasped. He had killed two slayers. Two of her kind, or what she was possibly going to be.

He killed the rest of my great great great grandfathers family. She thought. What's to stop him now.

Outside the Hyperion two shadowed figures emerged from the brush.

"Miss Edith isn't happy with you my Spikey." Drusillia said to the air with he signature crazy look on her face.

"Um yea about that, see I was with him last and we never officially broke up so technically he's my Spike." Harmony said stepping out the shadows.

"No little girl, he made you. I, I made him. And soon we will dance together on the blood of the enemy and stars will be happy again." Spikes sire smiled wickedly and glared at her blonde "companion."
