Buffy huffed as she walked down Main Street towards the mansion. She knew what she had to do - tell Angel though she had always loved him her heart didn't belong to him anymore. God, how would he take it? Would he be angry? Would he hate her? And her friends, how would they react to the idea that she was in love with Death? She nodded, pushing all thoughts out of her mind.
"I follow the night; can't stand the light. When will I begin -- to live again?" Buffy cried, walking away from Main Street and into the playground.
She stared at the place for a moment before settling down on one of the swings, smiling up at the sky. "One day I'll fly away; Leave all this to yesterday."
She glanced about for any passer byes. Sunnydale had been her home for so long and the Slaying, the Slaying offered so much security and protection but she yearned for a normal life outside of the slaying. When she went to UC Sunnydale, she hoped she could put the Slaying behind her and start anew. UC Sunnydale, Riley, The Initiative - nothing was ever simple anymore and she hated it.
"What more could your love do for me? When will love be through with me? Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends."
She smiled wishfully, swinging a bit. "One day I'll fly away. Leave all this to yesterday. Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends."
"One day I'll fly away - Fly, fly away... One day I'll fly away - Fly, fly away..." Sudennly feeling a lot more positive of her future, she stood from the swing, closing her eyes, widening her arms. "Fly, fly away.. Fly, fly away..."
She could; she could leave the Slaying and start a new life. She didn't have to be the Slayer anymore.

Jack wandered through the small town, watching the many people that passed him. As Death, he could sense when any mortal was near the end of his or her life. He considered it a gift in the beginning but now, after many years, decades, centuries even, taking souls and helping those souls cross over didn't seem like the best job in the universe.
"I follow the night; Can't stand the light; When will I begin to live again?" He crossed the street, sitting down at one of the night time tables outside the Pub and huffed, "One day I'll fly away; Leave all this to yesterday."
He noted that one of the teens passing him was fated to die. He was a drinker and if he wasn't careful, the next drink would be his last and Death would be right there waiting for him. No, not anymore. "What more could your love do for me? When will love be through with me? Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends."
A waiter, a thin man with a mustache, smiled walking up to him, offering a menu but he waved him away. "One day I'll fly away; Leave all this to yesterday. Why live life from dream to dream... and dread the day when dreaming ends."
Jack leaned back, staring at the sky. "One day I'll fly away. Fly, fly away...Fly, fly away.. Fly, fly away..."
He could; he could leave the In-between, his loneliness and start a new life. He didn't have to be the Angel of Death anymore.
