A Deathly Romance: Death's Gurl (Buffy's Death Theme) - Conclusion By obi's girl

Disclaimer: There were so many songs from the movie I wanted to use, but I wanted to leave some (maybe for a sequel) I know that's crazy since Buffy's dead. In this last part, there are several songs combined to flow into one act. Your Song, El Tengo de Roxanne, The Elephant Love Medley, Come What May, Nature Boy, & Children of the Revolution. Earlier Songs: Like a Virgin, Material Girl & One Day I'll Fly Away.... Are from Moulin Rouge! Baz is a genius. Praise him.

"STOP IT!" Buffy cried, sudennly feeling dizzy.

She hadn't anticipated it would happen so soon. She hadn't thought... It was too soon. Dawn, who would look after her? She knew Giles was capable, but loosing her and sudennly having to deal with her little sister would bring him much pain. Pain. She could never cause him that pain; he didn't deserve it. None of them deserved to go through this again. She glanced up at Jack, barely able to balance herself. Jack saw it. It was time. He caught her in his arms before she fell to the floor. He held her in his arms, wiping away her wetted hair. "Buffy..."

She smiled up at him, "No. It's time. I can feel it."

He nodded no. "No, Buffy...this doesn't have to happen. I told you I could take away the pain..."

"Jack, don't. I'm ready." She whispered back.

"Buffy? Oh God!" Dawn cried.

Jack shook his head, "As they pulled you out of the this world; You asked for your mother. With your golden hair and your ten-inch stake - Dressed to kill like the Slayer you were. Crawling down the alley on your hands and your knee - I was sure you were not ready for this. For it's plain to see Death's Gurl is the Slayer." He glanced up at Giles and the others, his gaze lying on Buffy's little sister. "And they hide behind fears; Demons hunt you to the ground, Vampires would."

"Will they come?" Dawn asked, silver tears in her eyes.

"I keep a friend serene." Xander sang tears, his eyes glassy as he stared at his fallen hero.

"Will they come?" Giles gasped.

"Oh, baby, come unto me." Jack whispered kissing Buffy's forehead. "Will they come? Well, she's come, been, and gone. Come out of the cemetery, baby. You'll catch a death in the fog. Young vampires and demons, they call you Death's Gurl."

"Death's Gurl." He whispered, Buffy's eyes struggling to remain open. "I love you."

She reached up with her limp arm, patting his back. "Come what May. Oh Come What May. I will love you until my dying day. Oh Come what May."

"Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place; suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste." Jack mused, staring into her blue eyes.

Buffy laughed, coughing a bit. "It all revolves around you." She paused, clearing her throat a bit. "And there's no mountain too high; No river too wide, sing out this song and I'll be there by your side."

"Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide but I love you until the end of time.... Love you until the end of time." they sang.

"Oh Come What May, Come What May - I will love you until my dying day." Buffy concluded, "I love you." She coughed again, her eyes closing, her soul drifting to oblivion.

Jack nodded, staring at her friends. "Oh Come What May, Come What May - I will love you until my dying day." He paused, choking back a cry. "Come What May, Come What May."

"We will honor you until the end of time!" Giles began, startling the rest of the Scooby gang. "Oh Come What May, Come What May. I will honor you until my dying day."

"Listen to my heart - Can you hear it sing?" Xander mused, a proud smile on his face. "Come back to us and forgive everything."

"Seasons may change, winter to spring - but I will love you till the end of time." Willow cried.

Jack nodded a smile on his face. "Come what may, come what may, come what may - I will love and honor you until my dying day."

"Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place; suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste." Dawn sang, glancing at Buffy's body. Buffy's words echoed through her head, causing her to fall silent.

"It all revolved around you." Giles continued.

Jack laughed, standing up, confronting Giles. "And there was no mountain too high; No river too wide, sing out this song and we'd be there by your side. Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide -"

"But we would love you until the end of time." they cried.

"...Until the end of time." Jack mused.

"Oh Come What May, Come What May." The Englishman chorused. "BUFFY! You didn't have die tonight. Walk the graveyards for life, searching for a fight. You didn't care if it was wrong of if it was right"

"BUFFY!" Xander cried, ripping his shirt off, shocking Anya. "You didn't have to walk this road alone, tonight."

Willow gasped, sudennly wishing she had spoken up sooner about her friend. "Buffy, you didn't have to hide your disease from us."

"My eyes upon your face; my hand upon your hand. My lips caressed your skin." Jack shook his head, crying out in pain. "Now you're gone --- IT'S MORE THAN I CAN STAND!"

The Scoobies cried Buffy's name in the background as Jack kept on singing. "Why does my heart cry?"

Giles removed his glasses, unable to contain his tears. "BUFFY! BUFFY! BUFFY!"

"Feelings I couldn't fight! You were free to leave me but..." Jack froze, glancing at the Scooby gang, "Just don't deceive them! ...And please believe them when they say -- THEY LOVE YOU!" In silence, Death mumbled some curse in Spanish.

"BUFFY!" Dawn cried, stepping up. "You didn't have to think we wouldn't understand! You don't have to wear this guilt trip tonight."

"BUFFY! You didn't have to put on that red light!" Spike spat, sudennly bursting into the shop. They all stopped singing, looking strangely at the vampire. "What? I loved her too!"

Jack made a face, nodding no at him. "BUFFY, you don't have to deal with Spike anymore!"

"BUFFY! BUFFY! BUFFY! BUFFY!" They cried but sudennly dropped to silence.

Sudennly, out of nowhere, a lone spotlight shined on Jack only. "Why does my heart cry? Feelings I couldn't fight!" He dropped to the floor, gasping for air. "How wonderful life was, when you were in the world..."

"And, I'm going to tell everybody that this was your song. It maybe quite simple, but now that it's done." Jack smiled, glancing down at Buffy's dead body. "Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, that I put down in words --- How wonderful life was that you were in the world..."

"Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, That I put down in words --- How wonderful life was, that you were in the world..." Giles concluded.

"BUFFY! BUFFY!" he cried. "I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!"

Anya frowned, crossing her arms, pouting a bit before slapping Xander on the arm. "That was my song. He sang my song! Death sang my song!"

Xander nodded, placing his hands on her shoulders. "And it will always be your song...but somehow I get the feeling this is Buffy's ending."

"Still my song." She whined.

Jack shook his head, glancing down at his love. "Buffy once told me love is a many splendid thing. Love is like oxygen. Love lifts us up where we belong." He mused.

"And what did you say?" Dawn asked.

Jack huffed, "I told her Love was just a game...but then she sang - She was made for loving me and I was made for loving her."

Willow shook her head. "The only way of loving her, Jack, is if she was a dead corpse."

"Just one night, she told me. Give her just one night." He sang aloud. "I said there was no way 'cause she wasn't dead. Dead."

"And what else did she say?" Giles ventured, eyeing him suspiciously.

"She sang In the name of love; One night in the name of love!"

Xander laughed, "A crazy gurl."

He nodded, "I wouldn't give in to her." He paused, staring up, "And she pleaded me not to leave her this way. She couldn't survive without my sweet love. Oh baby, she said, don't leave me this way."

Willow sat down the chair, smiling lost in dreams of love. "You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs."

Dawn shrugged, a smirk on her face, "I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no."

"Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs." Spike added.

"Well what's wrong with that?" Anya questioned.

"Yes! I like to know, 'Cause here I go again." Jack roared, spreading his arms wide. "Love lifted us up where we belonged; where the eagles flied on a mountain high."

Spike growled, "Love makes us act like we are fools. Throw our lives away for one happy day."

"We were heroes, the two of us." Jack mused, smiling mischievously. "Just for one day."

The vampire huffed, "You're dead! You don't know how to love!"

Jack laughed, "Yes, I do. I do; I have."

"And her? She'd slay all the time." he shot back.

"We were lovers." He defended.

Spike took another drink of his liquor. "No, you weren't!"

Death stood up to him, "We were lovers...And that's a fact."

Spike argued, "Nothing would have kept you together."

"We stole time."

The Soulless vamp raised an eyebrow, "Just for one day? You weren't heroes...forever and ever. You weren't heroes forever and ever, mate!"

Death growled, wishing he had a large stake to kill the vamp. "I will always love her..."

"I only can wish..."

"How wonderful life was when you were in the world." Spike and Jack concluded. The two stared at each other before glancing at the Scoobies.

"Forget this. I'm leaving!" Spike hollered, walking out the door.

Anya and Willow looked strangely at each other. It was still daylight out. Sure enough, they heard cries and yells from outside as Spike burst into flames in front of the shop. "Well, at least we won't have to deal with him anymore." Giles mumbled.

Jack nodded, another spotlight on him, overlooking everybody else...and Spike's constant screams from outside. He knelt down, almost praying. "This story was about love. The woman I loved, loved is dead." He began as Giles continued the rest.

"There was a man. A very strange, enchanted man. They say he wandered very far, very far. Over time and the heavens. A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he."

He paused briefly, "And then one day, one magic day he passed my way. While we spoke of many things, fools and kings - This he said to me. 'The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.'

"Oh buggart!" Spike yelled, "Can somebody please help me?! Hello, people! Oh, come on! I'm dying out here!"

"So Xander, what happens now?" Anya piped.

He shrugged, "I don't know." Before pulling out the script, flipping through to the end. "Oh, it's right here. We state again what this story was about."

"What was this story about?" Dawn added.

"Truth, Freedon, Beauty and above all...LOVE!" they cited as the lights dimmed in the Magic Box and faintly, Spike's screams could still be heard in the background. "Oh come on people! Like I never helped you all before. I'm burning to death over here. Doesn't anybody care?"

Silence. "Oh screw it! You all suck!" he yelled back, "I'll see you all in Hell!" before burning completely into dust. A janitor came out front, dusting the ashes aside into sewer and disappeared.

The End
