AN: Another Songfic about Xander, Buffy and Willow's friendship I own Nothing and I changed two things in the song.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same

Xander: Oh, me and Buffy go waaay back, old friends, very close. Then there's that period of estrangement where I think we were both growing as people, but now here we are, like old times, I'm quite moved.
Jesse: Is it me, or are you turning into a bibbling idiot?
Xander: No, it's, uh, it's not you.

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day

Xander: Why? Oh, hey, I hope he's not a vampire, because then you might have to slay him.
Buffy: (taken aback) Was there a... a school bulletin? Was it i-in the newspaper? Is there anyone in this town who doesn't know I'm the Slayer?
Xander: No. I only know that you *think* that you're the Slayer, and the reason why I know that...
Buffy: (interrupts) Well, whatever, it doesn't matter, just tell me, where would Willow go?
Xander: You're serious!
Buffy: We don't find her and there's gonna be one more dead body in the morning!

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon and there was me and you
And then we got real blue

Xander: And they say young people don't learn anything in high school nowadays, but, um, I've learned to be afraid.

Stay at home talking on the telephone
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Buffy: Hmm, I know you don't, that's 'cause you're my friend. You're my Xander-shaped friend!

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

Willow: Love you so much.

Buffy: I know.


So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Jonathan be the stockbroker man?
Can Cordelia find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Xander: I know the feeling.
Willow: I'm afraid I'm gonna start to cry again.
Anya: (softly) Xander cried at the apartment. It was weird.
Willow: I-i-it's a, it's a thing we do

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

Buffy: I'd like to find Willow and Xander.
Joyce: Will you be slaying?
Buffy: Only if they give me lip.

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Buffy: Please tell me you're going somewhere with this?
Willow: No. (hands Buffy a letter) I'm not going anywhere.
Buffy: UC Sunnydale?
Willow: I will be matriculating with Class of 2003.
Buffy: Are you serious?
Willow: Say, isn't that where you're going?
Buffy hugs her and they tumble onto the ground.
Buffy: I can't believe it! Are you serious? Ah, wait, what am I saying? You can't.
Willow: What do you mean, I can't?
Buffy: I won't let you.
Willow: Of the two people here, which is the boss of me?
Buffy: There are better schools.

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Willow: Actually, this isn't about you. Although I'm fond, don't get me wrong, of you. The other night, you know, being captured and all, facing off with Faith. Things just, kind of, got clear. I mean, you've been fighting evil here for three years, and I've helped some, and now we're supposed to decide what we want to do with our lives. And I just realized that that's what I want to do. Fight evil, help people. I mean, I-I think it's worth doing. And I don't think you do it because you have to. It's a good fight, Buffy, and I want in.
Buffy: I kind of love you.
Willow: And, besides, I have a shot at being a bad ass Wiccan, and what better place to learn?



As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

Buffy Voiceover: Dawn, listen to me. Listen.
I love you. I will *always* love you.
But this is the work that I have to do. Tell Giles ... tell Giles I figured it out. And, and I'm okay. And give my love to my friends.
You have to take care of them now.
You have to take care of each other. You have to be strong. Dawn, the hardest thing in this world ... is to live in it. Be brave. Live. For me.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

Xander: We saw her body, Will. We buried it.
Willow: Her body, yeah. But her soul ... her essence ... I mean, that could be somewhere else. She could be trapped, in-in some sort of hell dimension like Angel was. (tearfully) Suffering eternal torment, just because she saved us, and I'm not gonna let ... I'm not gonna leave her there. (intensely) It's Buffy

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

Xander: I don't know you, do I?
Buffy: I'm Buffy. I'm new.
Xander: Xander. Is, is me. Hi. (smiles)
Buffy: Um, thanks.

Buffy: Uh, Hi! Willow, right?
Willow: (looks up) Why? I-I mean, hi! Uh, did you want me to move?
Buffy: Why don't we start with, 'Hi, I'm Buffy,' and, uh, then let's segue directly into me asking you for a favor. (sits next to her) It doesn't involve moving, but it does involve hanging out with me for a while.
