Remember when i said the one with Willow and Kennedy on the beach with the love song was my favorite?...I Lied. lol! This is my favorite song from the movie, and its with my favorite character (probably since she's totally my own creation) It's alot more jumpy and fun, ease off the serious song for a while lol :D. Hope you guys enjoy the comic relief! Read/Review/Send muffin baskets, whatever ya like lol
The song is 'Does Your Mother Know' from Mamma Mia, originally from ABBA-as usual lol
Chapter 11—Does Your Mother Know
BEACHFRONT TIKI BAR—DAY
The location of the nightly luau is much calmer as vacationers relax on the beach and sit at the wooden bar in the sand. Billie walks angrily across the sand with Xander close behind her. Xander wears his trunks with tank top while Billie wears her girl trunks with a tight shirt opened in the front revealing her bikini and rolled up past her elbows.
XANDER
Come on Billie! You know I didn't mean it like that.
BILLIE
(she turns around quickly and stops with a frustrated expression making Xander stop worried.) Really? I find it hard to believe that there's another meaning to thinking I'm a demon. (people near them look over with a curious and confused glance at Billie's outburst. Xander smiles at them and chuckles as they continue walking)
XANDER
(he turns to her and speaks quietly) But…you are a demon…
BILLIE
(she sighs and rubs her head) I mean you think I'm gonna go and kill someone for kicks…
XANDER
Well you gotta see my worry Billie…you almost decapitated Spike with your bare hands. (he stops and thinks) Wait…why am I worried again?
BILLIE
Well…he made me mad…
XANDER
He makes all of us mad sweetie.
BILLIE
Well I don't see the problem then! (she throws her hands up and moves to sit at the bar. Xander follows and sits next to her) If he's such a pain in everyone's ass, then who would complain if he's dust in the wind?
XANDER
Buffy and Angel would, as much as they complain he's still important to both of their pasts.
BILLIE
They'd get over it.
XANDER
Alright, how about the Powers? He's one of their Champions now and I think dusting him wouldn't exactly put you in their good graces.
BILLIE
I guess…
XANDER
Would you just talk to me Billie? It's not like you to get like this.
BILLIE
Just…(she stops)
XANDER
Come on, we're gonna be married soon, if you can't talk to me about something serious like this then—
BILLIE
He tried to—(she stops and lowers her voice as the bartender drops two daiquiri's in front of them. Billie takes a breath and stirs her drink with her straw) I think just findin' out what he did—almost did—whatever…
XANDER
Yeah, it's a weird thing to think about.
BILLIE
Buffy's always so strong—so ready for anything. I just…knowin' that…guy…could bring her down like that…
XANDER
It was a really hard time for all of us Billie. You'd be shocked if I told you some of the stories from that year.
BILLIE
You act like every bad thing that's happened to ya happened then.
XANDER
A lot of them did…that was the time after Buffy was resurrected the second time. (Billie's eyes go wide) We tore her out of eternal happiness…It got Willow addicted to some dark stuff and Tara left her for it. Dawnie became a clepto, Giles went back to England to help us all grow up, Buffy started sleeping with Spike just to feel something. (Billie's expression becomes mixed of horror and shock) I left Anya at the altar not too long after Willow hit rock bottom and cut magic off cold turkey. Buffy started getting a little better and Tara was around more, but then Spike went insane and…that happened. Buffy and Tara both got shot, Willow really went off the deep end and—(Xander's voice trembles as he remembers that hard time. Billie puts her hand on his with a soft smile) Anyway…I understand you think we're being melodramatic about everything…but we all sort of agreed to leave that year in the past. It was…a lot.
BILLIE
Nah, I understand. I wasn't there, how should I judge it? I guess…sometimes I don't realize just how much about you guys I don't really know.
XANDER
Hey, don't play the left out act. Trust me when I say you're more welcomed into the group then a lot of people we've known.
BILLIE
Well it works when it's me, Ken and Faith. Kinda a good balance for you Buffy and Willow to be closer.
XANDER
True! See? We're okay! Who said marrying a demon was gonna be impossible?
BILLIE
(her smile falls into a "Seriously…" face) Oh? So now I'm impossible!
XANDER
No! I mean…(she glares at him) No! I didn't mean it like that!
BILLIE
So how else could you mean how horrible it's gonna be to marry a demon?
XANDER
Careful Billie…we don't wanna break into song. It never ends well…
BILLIE
And singing a song with me would be so horrible…(she grins sarcastically and pats his back with demon force, knocking the wind out of him) Thanks honey, love you too. (she takes her drink and walks over to a lounge chair in the sun as Xander sits bewildered)
XANDER
I can't win… (Dawn and Krystal walk over to Xander)
DAWN
Hey Mr. Pouty Pants, no sad faces!
KRYSTAL
Yeah, after last night? I'm pretty sure I have enough material to keep me laughing for a while.
XANDER
(he turns to them) Alright, I need a girl's opinion. (the teens raise their eyebrows) Why in the hell are you girls always flipping like a switch? One second its all good then I'm getting my head bit off!
DAWN
Well…she is technically half demon Xand.
XANDER
But she's still Billie! (he sighs and rubs the back of his head) I wonder if all the calm is making her antsy?
KRYSTAL
Maybe. After everything that went on this last year? Her having some peace is kinda a shock to her system I bet.
XANDER (freaked)
So…you don't think she's gonna decide us being together is a mistake do you?
DAWN
What! Are you crazy? That girl is so head over heels for you it's scary.
XANDER
You sure? I mean…after everything and like you said, big changes. Maybe this wedding isn't a good idea.
KRYSTAL
Stop right there. I might not know you as well as I know Dawn has but I've known Billie longer. (Dawn raises her eyebrow at her) Well not know her…but—oh you know what I mean!
DAWN (smirking)
Creeper fan much?
KRYSTAL
Ignoring that. Anyway, Billie has always been that kinda quiet girl that no guy could score more than one date with if if they were lucky. She was quiet, mopey, really detached I guess is the word. She'd show up to play a show and after her set the rest of the band would stay and party but she'd leave.
XANDER
Really?
KRYSTAL
Yeah, you're probably the best thing that's happened to her Xander, and no matter what kinda freaky demon PMS she has going on, just remember that and be there for her.
XANDER
Yeah, I just feel like she needs some cheering up. The whole demon thing is getting to her a bit. I think she just needs to feel like a human for a while. Especially with this whole hex thing.
DAWN
So go cheer her up then!
XANDER
Hello? My luck I'll get my head bit off! Next option?
KRYSTAL (smirking)
There's always the one thing that cheers a girl up. (Dawn smiles catching on as Krystal turns to Landon playing volleyball with the guys from the day before, she yells to him) Landon! (he turns his head and gets smacked in the face with the ball, the girls wince) Oh…that's gotta hurt…
XANDER
What do you two have cooking in those evil teenage heads?
LANDON
(he walks up rubbing his head) This better have been worth the loss of brain cells…
KRYSTAL
Billie needs cheering up.
LANDON
(his eyes light up) Well why didn't you say so! (he starts to walk toward her before Dawn grabs him while rolling her eyes)
DAWN
Easy there tiger, its more then a one man job.
LANDON
Well not like it's gonna be hard, all the guys think she's one of the hottest girls on this beach.
XANDER
(he smiles proudly) Hottest girl on the beach is my fiance. That's a nice feeling after being rejected by everyone in high school.
KRYSTAL
The best way to cheer a girl up is to have guys flirt with her. I think it's gonna help Billie out, make her feel more human and less all-mighty-chosen-one-demon-champion.
LANDON
On it. (he calls over to the guys playing volley ball) Hey Brock! Taylor! (the two surfer hunks jog over)
TAYLOR
What's up Landon? Still seein' spots?
LANDON
Funny…
BROCK
(he smiles at Dawn) Hey Dawn.
DAWN
(she smiles back) Hey.
BROCK
I actually wanted to ask you something…(she smiles and waits as he finds his words nervously) Uhh...i mean if you wanted...maybe—
DAWN
Yeah?
BROCK
(he rubs the back of his head and gives Dawn a cute nervous smile) Would you like to go out tonight? With me that is…we could have dinner over on the patio by the ocean?
DAWN
(she smiles sweetly) That sounds amazing.
BROCK
Great!
KRYSTAL
Alright, I'll do the psyched best friend thing later, but right now we have a job for you boys.
TAYLOR
Yeah? Is it gonna be fun?
KRYSTAL
You could say that. (she points over to Billie) See the blonde beach bunny over there? (Taylor's eyes go wide as he smirks, Brock tries to play dumb)
TAYLOR
Duh!
BROCK
What beach bunny? (Dawn smacks him playfully with a smile, he smiles back sweetly)
DAWN
That's our friend Billie, she's kinda blue right now and could use some cheering up.
KRYSTAL
Little spat with her fiance and all.
XANDER
Hey, I'm right here ya know…
KRYSTAL
Yeah, and if you can't cheer her up then this is a last resort. (she turns back to the guys) Go remind her how awesome she is, yeah?
TAYLOR
Don't gotta tell me twice! (him and Landon walk over to Billie happily)
BROCK
(he turns to Dawn) Let the record show, I'm helping out your friend, the flirtation with another woman that's about to occur means nothing. I'm more of a brunette guy myself and—
DAWN
(she laughs and pushes him along) Just go! (he smiles and catches up to the guys)
XANDER
For the record…I like that guy. (Dawn smiles widely. Xander becomes dead serious) He hurts you and I'll become the next murderer in our little group. (Dawn raises her eyebrow at him) Hey…don't blame a guy for tryin' to look out for his family.
BILLIE
(she relaxes on her lounge chair as Landon walks over holding the volleyball) Blocking my sun buddy, it may not do much good but damn it I'm gonna try an' break the pale curse I got goin' on.
LANDON
It's just me Billie. (she opens her eyes to his big, cute, flirty smile as he spins the volleyball on his finger)
BILLIE
Oh hey Landon, sorry. Little snippy lately I guess.
LANDON
Nah, no biggie. (he sits in the chair next to her) So, what makes you think you're cursed?
BILLIE
Well with the whole Banshee thing, I can't exactly have nice golden skin
LANDON
Who said you didn't already have nice skin? Besides, it wouldn't go right with your tattoos.
TAYLOR
(he moves smoothly to her side, crouching down in the sand next to her with a big smile) And lemme tell ya, tattoos? Definitely workin' for ya.
BILLIE
Thanks, they got that whole deep magical meaning crap.
TAYLOR
Even better! You got that whole mysterious girl sitting all by her lonesome thing goin' for ya. We thought maybe you could use some company.
BILLIE
How sweet. (she smiles sarcastically) But I don't wanna bore you guys, (she holds up her left hand) Im engaged.
BROCK
(he sits next to Taylor with a bright smile) So? That mean we can't be in the company of a beautiful woman? I'm sure your soon-to-be husband would be flattered.
BILLIE
(she turns to Landon and gives him a quizzical look) What are ya up to Landon?
LANDON
Up to? Do a couple of guys need to be up to something? Maybe you're just that amazing. Ever think of that?
TAYLOR
(he looks into Billie's eyes) You have gorgeous eyes, such a beautiful deep brown.
BILLIE (to herself)
Keep goin' an' we'll see what color they are in a second. (she downs the rest of her drink)
LANDON
Hey! Why don't you join us for some volleyball? Show us how it's done?
BILLIE
Oh…I see what you're doin'. (she gets up with a smile) Save it for a lucky girl that's not twice your age boys. (She starts towards the bar, the guys follow her with big smiles)
BROCK
Twice our age? As if, you're what? Twenty five at the absolute oldest?
BILLIE (to herself)
Probably more like three times, but who's countin'?
TAYLOR
Yeah, I mean…maybe you're just a gorgeous young woman, (he smiles as she raises an eyebrow, amused) Who happens to think these dashing young men a couple years younger are just too irresistible. (he flashes a million dollar smile)
BILLIE (amused)
You callin' me a cougar?
LANDON
You admitting to being one? (he smirks teasingly)
BILLIE
Cute. (she turns and picks up a bottle of beer taking a big swig) But I'm old enough to be your mother. Speaking of, does she know you're serial flirtin' with a musician covered in tattoos that rides a motorcycle? I'm not exactly the kind a' girl to bring home to the family.
TAYLOR (dazed)
I think I'm in love…
BROCK
Now why do ya gotta keep bringin' our moms into this?
BILLIE
Just wanna make sure you aren't gonna get grounded. (she gives a flirty smile) Trouble tends to find me and people around me too.
TAYLOR
Maybe we like trouble?
BILLIE
(she smiles and looks at him while shaking her head. Her eyes glow yellow followed by her body. Soon after the whole section of beach is covered in a yellow glow before it quickly fades. Only the Scoobies notice the change. Billie looks to Landon) You asked for it.
LANDON (smiling)
Should be fun.
BILLIE
(she turns to Xander to see he is doubled over laughing) You're gonna enjoy this, aren't ya?
XANDER
(he smiles at her wiping a tear from his eye while still chuckling) More then you'd think.
BILLIE (singing)
[Music starts up around her as she finishes off her beer quickly and turns to Taylor. Most of the beach gathers around, the guys watching Billie and the girls by the bar amused by the spectacle. Billie smirks at Taylor as he keeps a flirty, cool guy expression]
You're so hot
Teasing me
[Billie seductively walks forward with a smile as Taylor smirks backing up]
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a kid like you
[Billie stops in front of him shoving him lightly away in the chest]
It's something I couldn't do
[She turns to Brock. He wiggles his eyebrows as she beckons him forward with one finger]
There's that look
In your eyes
[She wraps her arms around his neck]
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
[she leans in as though about to kiss him, but stops putting a finger on his lips teasingly]
Oh, but boy you're only a child
[Brock spins her around before taking her hands and dancing with her to the beat quickly]
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
[She lets go of his hands and shakes her hips with a wink before pushing him away playfully]
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
BROCK (singing)
Take it easy
BILLIE (singing)
[She turns and dances with him at her back]
Take it easy
Better slow down boy
That's no way to go
[she turns her neck to sing the last line to him behind her]
Does your mother know?
[She turns to Taylor in front of her and steps toward him with a smirk]
TAYLOR (singing)
Take it easy
BILLIE (singing)
Take it easy
Try to cool it boy
[she puts a hand on his chest]
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
[She sits on a lounge chair as Landon runs up and slides next to her with a smirk. He gets closer to her as she sings with a grin on her face]
I cans ee
What you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
[she sings in his ear]
So maybe I'm not the one
[Landon backs away as she stands up and moves to the bar, hopping up to sit on it, Landon moves toward her]
Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
[Landon hops up on the bar next to her with a big smile]
When you give me a flash of that smile
[She pushes him forward face first into the sand]
But boy you're only a child
[the girls harmonize with her as Billie stands on the bar and takes off her shirt teasingly throwing it to the crowd of guys who fight to grab it. She starts dancing happily with the beat showing off to all the guys who cheer for her and whistle]
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
Does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
Does your mother know that you're out?
[Taylor and Brock shove Landon up to the bar, Billie grabs him by the arm and lifts him up. She smirks as her eyes swirl blue for a moment before turning brown again. She starts dancing suggestively as close to him as she can]
LANDON (singing)
Take it easy
Better slow down girl
That's no way to go
BILLIE (singing)
Does your mother know?
LANDON (singing)
Take it easy
Try to cool it girl
Play it nice and slow
BILLIE (singing)
[Billie stops and looks at him with a huge smile and wiggles her eyebrows just as Landon was getting into the dance]
Does your mother know?
[Landon dramatically fakes a faint down into the group of girls by the bar who catch him and toss him back up to his feet. Billie dives into the crowd of guys who catch her and lift her up]
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
[The guys set her back to her feet and dance wildly around her]
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
[Landon comes up to her and takes her in his arms into a quick dip dancing with her as she sings with the girls harmonizing]
Well, I could dance with you honey
If you think it's funny
But does your mother know that you're out?
And I could chat with you baby
Flirt a little maybe
But does your mother know that you're out?
[Landon spins her away into the center of the crowd of guys who continue dancing as he joins them. Billie stands up on a lounge chair as she finishes the song strongly]
does your mother know that you're out?
does your mother know that you're out?
GIRLS (singing)
Does your mother know
Does your mother know that you're out?
[The guys all abrubtly stop with the music. Billie steps down from the chair grabbing Xander at the bar and kissing him deeply. All the guys dramatically faint back to the sand in disappointment. After Billie ends the kiss with Xander the beach glows yellow and goes back about it's business]
BILLIE
Sorry I've been a little harsh lately. Big changes, ya know?
XANDER
Hey, after that little show and a kiss like that? You're totally forgiven!
BILLIE
(her phone goes off) Oh got a text, someone loves me. (she picks up her phone to check it as Xander kisses her)
XANDER
Damn right I do!
BILLIE
(she smiles as she checks the text) It's Ken, says to meet back at the coffee shop to figure out something with this hex. (she starts cracking up) Hah! She ended up singing some money song when she was shopping in the square with Will.
KRYSTAL
Wish I coulda seen that.
DAWN
You and me both. (Billie's phone goes off again)
BILLIE
Well…I'm just popular today. (she looks and reads it solemnly) Come on, we gotta go.
XANDER
What's wrong?
BILLIE
Nothin', just gotta do somethin' is all. I'll find Faith and meet you guys over at the café. (she runs off quickly)
DAWN
Well then…
LANDON
(he walks up) That…was awesome!
KRYSTAL
Yep…And I got the whole thing on video (she holds up her phone playing back the number)
LANDON
Ah hell…
