Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Some Dreams Come True

Summary: Buffy gets a chance to change her life forever. Does she? Disclaimer: All characters belong to Mutant Enemy and the wonderful brain behind the show, Joss Whedon. The songs belong to their owners. I am only using these for my own enjoyment. The story line belongs to me. Please don't sue the author! Pairings: B/a of course, a little B/R but only for a bashing in the later chapters (what? I hate Riley..), X/A, W/T, Giles/Joyce. Author's Note: This story is my dream. Almost everything that happens to Buffy is what I want to happen to me.(Especially the Angel part...;) if ya know what I mean)

Chapter 1: The Song

"Close your eyes; Give me your hand, darlin'; Do you feel my heart beatin'; Do you understand; Do you feel the same; Or am I only dreaming; Is this burnin'; An Eternal Flame." Buffy Summers sang as she played along with the piano. *Someday, my dream will come true.* She thought of her dream to become a singer/songwriter. She had stopped writing when her mother died, just after giving birth to her baby daughter, Dawn. But now Dawn was six months old and was currently with Willow and Xander, who babysat her sometimes. They had agreed to babysit today so Buffy could have some time alone to work on her new song. "I believe, it's meant to be,darlin'; I watch you when you are sleeping; You belong with me; Do you feel the same; Or am I only dreaming; But is this burning, an eternal flame." Buffy copied down the notes on her correction pad while she played and sang.*I'll finish this song, then I'll take a break.* she thought as she realized how sore her hands were. "Say my name; Sun shines through the rain; Of a life, so lonely; They come and ease the pain; I don't wanna lose this feeling oohhhhhh; Say my name; Sunshine's through the rain; Of a life so lonely; Now come and ease the pain; I don't wanna loose this feeling ; Close your eyes; Give me your hand darlin; Do you feel my heart beatin' Do you understand; Do you feel the same; Or am I only dreamin' Is this burnin' an eternal flame." "There, finally finished this song." Buffy said as she got up from the bench. She stretched and turned around. There was Xander, Willow and Dawn standing at the living room door staring at her with amazement. "Did you really write that, Buffy?" Willow asked. "That was awesome!" "Ya, I did."Buffy said, surprised they thought she sounded good. "Wow Buff," Xander replied, finally getting his voice back. "So are you going for the big league?" "I seriously don't know," Buffy said with a weak grin. "I'll have to go to a open-mic night first. That will be tough though." "You'll do it," Willow said, while Dawn gurgled her agreement. "I hope," was the answer they got.
