AN: I just wanted to say that chapters won't be as regular as they were before. BTVS doesn't belong to me and neither will the songs.
After a weird night of patrolling where she randomly burst into song, Buffy called a meeting to discuss what could be going on in the town. Shane and Faith looked extremely uncomfortable with the new development. Shane was more worried about the two biggest things she had been keeping from the group as she adjusted her sunglasses. Faith worried that she would sing the wrong thing to Tara, with them having gone on only a few dates.
"Is it just us? 'Cause then that would mean a spell or something…" Anya trailed off as Buffy walked over to the door.
She opened the door and saw a large man with a beard holding a suit with others spread out behind him.
"They got the mustard out!" The man sang with the others echoing the same line.
"It's not just us." Buffy stated as she closed the door.
"So, should we research this or what? Has there had been anything like this before?" Faith questioned curiously.
"I guess we should." Buffy answered shrugging.
"Okay, well as much as I would love to just sit here, I'm going to lock myself in my room and wait till this passes." Shane said as she walked out the door with a smirk.
As she walked down the road, she started to hear the first bits of a song and cussed out loud about being drawn into such a stupid side effect of whatever was happening to the town.
"Search for the answers I knew all along
I lost myself we all fall down (she looked to the sky)
Never the wiser of what I've become
Alone I stand a broken man (the demi-god bowed her head and put a hand to her chest)
All I have is one last chance
I won't turn my back on you (Shane sang thinking of Buffy and the gang)
Take my hand drag me down
If you fall then I will too
And I can't save what's left of you (She thought of a certain memory she would rather keep down)
Say something new (stretching out her arms)
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you (putting her head into her hands)
There's nothing left to lose
The fight never ends
I can't face the dark without you
Follow me under and pull me apart
I understand there's nothing left (she collapses to the ground)
Pain so familiar and close to the heart
No more no less I won't forget
Come back down save yourself
I can't find my way to you (she thought of her loved ones as she sang)
And I can't bare to face the truth
Say something new
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you (her hands ran through her hair and stopped on her neck)
There's nothing left to lose
The fight never ends
I can't face the dark without you
I wanted to forget
I'm trying to forget (a few tears slipped from her coved eyes)
Don't leave me here again
I am with you forever the end (Shaking her head trying to reaffirm her belief)
Say something new
I have nothing left
I can't face the dark without you
There's nothing left to lose
The fight never ends
I can't face the dark without you
Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive you forget you the end
Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive you forget you the end." Shane finished her song and took off faster towards her house.
Back at the Magic Box, Faith was feeling restless and Tara thought that her brunette girlfriend might want to get out of there.
"I think there could be some books at the house. Come on, Faith." Tara said as she dragged Faith with her to the door.
They decided to take the long way to the home, stopping in the park. Faith liked seeing Tara look so relax but she was still trying not to open her mouth. She was so afraid of what she would sing to the blonde witch of her dreams. Tara looked back at the unusually quiet demi-god.
"Are you okay? You've been quiet today." Tara questioned slightly worried.
"Yeah, just don't want to start singing." Faith replied but as she finished they heard the music start and Faith groaned before starting.
"Remember those walls I built
Well baby they tumbling down (Faith blushed and looked own while Tara put a hand on her cheek)
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to ley you in (The brunette grabbed the blonde's hand that was resting on her hand)
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now (she looked straight into Tara's eyes)
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never going to shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo (Tara smiled at the tender words)
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through the darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling (Faith pulled their linked hands over her heart)
Gravity can't forget
So pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
The risk that I'm taking
I'm never going to shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face.
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
Halooo, haloo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away." Faith finished pulling Tara into a deep kiss.
"Oh, this is so boring." Buffy complained from her seat at the round table with a book in her lap.
"I seriously doubt that there is anything in these books." Xander said throwing the book he had onto the table.
Dawn was near the back of the store when she spotted a cool necklace and discretely picked it up. No one noticed Dawn's quick hand work but Buffy stood from her chair and announced that she was going to try and find some info from other demons. She told Dawn to stay here until Anya or Xander could take her home. Buffy decided that she would enjoy some of the day before she went to the seedier parts of Sunnydale. She found Faith and Tara still locked in a passionate kiss and cleared her throat behind the two.
"So, find those books you were looking for?" Buffy asked rhetorically causing Tara to blush deeply.
"B, you wouldn't be so uptight about this if you just got off your damn high horse and admit you like a certain demi-goddess of war, whose tags you still haven't given back." Faith shot back with a smirk.
"If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that (Buffy sighed)
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history
Been there done that (Buffy said with finality and Faith and Tara chimed in)
Who'd you think you're kidding
She's the earth and heaven to you
Try to keep it hidden
Honey we can see right through you
We know how you feel and who you're thinking of (Buffy blushed grabbing the new tags)
No chance No way
I won't say
No, no (Faith and Tara interrupt again)
you swoon you sigh
why deny it uh-oh (Buffy denies forcefully)
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming get a grip girl (Buffy grabs her head)
Unless you're dying to cry your heart out (The couple start their next verse)
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feeling
Baby we're not buying
Hon we saw you hit the ceiling
Face it like a grown up
When you going to own up
That you got, got, got it bad (Back to Buffy)
No chance No way
I won't say it
No. no (Faith and Tara proceed)
Give up but give in
Check the grin you're in love (Buffy denies it again)
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love (The two become more forceful)
You're doing flips
Read our lips: you're in love (Buffy shakes her head at the accusation)
You're way off base
I won't say it
Get off my case
I won't say it (Faith and Tara try again)
Girl don't be proud
It's okay you're in love (Buffy lowered her head in defeat)
Oooohhh
At least out loud
I won't say
I'm in love." Buffy sang the last bit with a sigh.
"Hate to break it to you, B. you just did." Faith broke the slayers thoughts.
"Oh, back off, Faith. I'm heading to beat up some demons for info." Buffy huffed away.
As she got closer to the demon bar, she bumped into the last person she thought she would see that day. Shane had been feeling restless just trying to avoid singing and decided to hit up demons for information. She didn't expect to run into the blonde haired girl of her dreams while Buffy hadn't wanted to see the demi-god so soon after her sung confession. Shane opened her mouth to talk but music started up and suddenly she was singing again.
"I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this (She sighed tiredly)
I'm asleep and all I dream of is waking to you
Tell me that you will listen (Shane pleads desperately)
You're touch is what I'm missing (Reaching out to grab the blonde's hand)
And the more I hide I realize
I'm slowly losing you
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose
Of you (Shane looked straight into Buffy's eyes)
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me (She shakes her head like trying to get rid of a nightmare)
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I hate living without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting (pointing to her head)
Tempting me away
Oh how I adore you
Oh how I thirst for you
Oh how I need you
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose
Of you
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel you next to me (She sang with an even more serious voice)
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me (Shane closes her eyes)
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
Breathing life
Waking up
My eyes open up (The demi-god opens her eyes back up with a defeated look)
Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose
Of you
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'Les I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I thirst for you
Waking up to you never felt so real
Oh how I adore you
The way you make me feel
Waking up to you never felt so real." Shane sang the last bit pulling Buffy into a brief kiss before she realized what she was doing and then took off.
Faith and Tara were sitting in the brunette's bedroom. After the positive reaction Tara had to her song, Faith relaxed and was holding Tara to her. They heard some soft music start and Tara started singing just staring into Faith's eyes.
"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take (Faith cupped Tara's chin)
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone
Or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you (they both smiled widely at her confession)
It just keep getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss (The blonde gave Faith a small peck)
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
And touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time
Every time
I wanna spend the whole night
In your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you (Faith pulled Tara into a tight embrace as the blonde continued to sing into her ear)
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Ooohh
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you." Tara blushed when she finished and Faith gave her a kiss.
"You amaze me too, Tara." Faith honestly smiled.
That night, they supposedly stopped the bad guy, Sweet. The necklace Dawn found in the Magic Box was the guy's talisman and he was going to take her to the underworld. When this was mentioned that it had to be one of them, Xander raised his hand and gulpingly asked if he had to be Sweet's queen. The fashionably dressed red demon laughed it off as tempting but left without taking anyone. As the big group number went on, Shane left out the door followed shortly by Buffy. Buffy turned the demi-god around and took off the sunglasses she had been wearing all the time lately. The blonde gasped at the dark red eyes that greeted her. They were still feeling the last of the effects so they softly sang.
"The way you make me feel."
"I won't say I'm in love."
They sang just shortly before they collided in a heated kiss.
AN: So tell me what you think. In order the name of the songs and who sings them: Without you by Breaking Benjamin, Halo by Beyonce, I won't say I'm in love by Meg and the Muses from Disney's Hercules, Comatose by Skillet, and Amazed by Lonestar. Every song is one I listen to daily except the Beyonce song that one I just found while searching YouTube. Please be honest when you review because even I'm not sure this is the best I could have done.
