AN: Hey PPL Another Buffy songfic or Vidfic whatever you wanna call it. It was really hard to find a BSB song that fit Xander and Cordelia but I think Like a Child fits PLEASE REVIEW!!!! oh and I don't own anything the song belongs to Jive and BSB and the quotes belong to Joss Whedon and the people at BTVS.

If I could right

The wrongs that made you cry

Would you promise not to say goodbye

Xander: Oh, sure, they are. If it helps, whenever we're around them you and I can fight a lot.

Cordelia: You promise?

Cuz I'm holding on

With a love so strong

And I can't take a day

Without you by my side

Cordelia: I'm dating a swimmer from the Sunnydale swim team!

Buffy: You can die happy.

Girl if I could change

If I could change your mind

Maybe you could help me

Wipe these tears from my eyes'

Cordelia: You were so courageous. And you looked really hot in those Speedo's.

Girl don't stop

The sun from shining down on me

Cuz I can't face another day without your smile

And if you take away the loving arms

That surround me

Then I might break down and cry

Just like a child

Cordelia: And I want you to know that I still care about you, no matter what you look like. And... and we can still date. Or, or not. I mean... I understand if you wanna see other fish.

Girl I can't belong

And I won't be free

If I fail to bring your loving back to me

So I'm pressing on

Xander: (stops her with a gesture) Let me finish. I've been thinking a lot about us lately... the why and the wherefore. You know, once, twice, a kissy here, a kissy there. And you can chalk it all up to hormones. (Cordelia looks puzzled) A-and maybe that's all we have here. Tawdry teen lust. But maybe not. Maybe something in you sees something special inside me. (Cordelia looks down, then back up) And vice versa. I mean, I think I do. See something. So...

I hope you'll understand

There's a broken heart

That lies within your hands

Cordelia: Xander... (opens the box) Thank you. (holds up the necklace and pendant) It's beautiful. (exhales and looks at him) I wanna break up.

So if I could change

(So if I could change)

And it won't hurt your pride

(And it won't hurt your pride)

Baby you can help me stop

These tears from my cries

Xander: (looks up suddenly) Yeah! Okay... (very upset) Do you know what's a good day to break up with somebody? Any day besides Valentine's Day! I mean, what, were you running low on dramatic irony?

Cordelia: (apologetically) I know. I didn't mean to do it this way. I...

Xander: (interrupts) Well, you did.

Girl don't stop

The sun from shining down on me

Cuz I can't face another day without your smile

And if you take away the loving arms

That surround me

Then I might break down and cry

Just like a child

Xander: Look, Cordy, I want you to know that I...

Cordelia: (weakly) Xander?

Xander: (hopefully) Yeah.

Cordelia: Stay away from me.

Like a child

Just like a child

With her spirits running free

She told me why

Oh she did

Like a child oh baby

Just like a child

Machine: Hey, it's Xander. If you get this, call me.

The last part of the picture left in her hand is of Xander, and she cuts diagonally right through his face.

Machine: Hi! Xander. I, uh... Well, I'm in if you feel like calling. Bye.

Cordelia's eyes and cheeks are heavy with tears. She sighs, takes a match and strikes it. She lights Xander's part of the picture.

Machine: Hi, Cordelia. Um... If you get the chance, if we could talk, I'm here.

She drops the lit piece into the bowl and holds the match to the others. They suddenly all burst into flame. The light of the flame shows just how tired, slagged and haggard Cordelia has become.

Machine: Hey again! It's me. I'm here. Again

.

She watches as the flames consume the image of Xander.

Think of what our love could be

If our hearts could set us free

Like a child

Cordelia: Look, um, I didn't get a chance to say anything yesterday with the coronation and everything... but, um, I guess I just wanted to say thank you, all of you.

Xander: That's funny, 'cause she looks like Cordelia.

AN: Well I hope that song fits what you thought of Xander and Cordelia's relationship PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
