TITLE: "Reprise"
AUTHOR: Doctor Strangelove (strangelove317@hotmail.com)
RATING: PG-13
PAIRINGS: None in this part.
SPOILERS: Up to the end of Season 6 of Buffy and Season 3 of Angel.
Takes place about a month after that.
FEEDBACK: I'd love it.
DISCLAIMER: Joss owns all the Buffy characters. I own the songs they sing.
A/N: Okay, there were originally going to be two more songs but one just didn't
fit so I cut it. I could've spent time trying to make one that fit, but to be
honest, after four months, I just want this over with. You're not missing much.
I'll cover all the stuff with Wesley and Connor making amends, and all other
loose ends in the next fic. Oh, God, the next fic. And the one after that. And
the one after that. I'm gonna be busy for a while.

EXT. - GARDEN - NIGHT
[Cordelia walks outside and is soon followed by Angel.]
ANGEL
Hey.
CORDELIA
Hey.
ANGEL
What are you doing out here?
CORDELIA
Thinking. God, things really are different. Wesley, Connor. All the stuff with Buffy and the others.
ANGEL
[You don't the half of it.]
I know what you mean.
CORDELIA
Especially with Spike and Buffy.
ANGEL
Yeah.
[Realizes what she just said.]
ANGEL
How did you know about them?
CORDELIA
Xander told me. But I kinda suspected. It's pretty obvious in hindsight.
ANGEL
[No it's not.]
Yeah, it is.
[A very familiar tune, we have a lot of those, starts to play.]
CORDELIA
After seven years,
Things have gotten strange.
After all these years,
We really have changed.
After all.
ANGEL
Spike's in love with Buffy,
Before he just tried to kill her.
With so many changes,
Maybe I'm just looking for something familiar.
After all.
[The two look at each other and smile.]
TOGETHER
We have done it all,
Closed the old, and opened up new doors.
So maybe this really has,
Become something more,
After all.
CORDELIA
After all we've been through.
ANGEL
After all is said and done.
CORDELIA
I think I finally see the real you.
ANGEL
I think you might be the one.
TOGETHER
After all.
ANGEL
I've gotten so close to you,
And I don't want it to end.
CORDELIA
I feel the same,
Maybe we could be more than friends.
After all.
We've built up sexual tension,
Maybe now is our time.
ANGEL
Maybe I could be yours,
And you could be mine.
After all.
After all we've been through.
CORDELIA
After all is said and done.
ANGEL
I think I might love you.
CORDELIA
I think you could be the one.
TOGETHER
After all.
CORDELIA
A good relationship,
Could be the best.
Loving and caring,
Of course, sans sex.
ANGEL
Can't think of anyone better,
With who to spend my life.
I'm game if you are,
[The two comes together and smile.]
TOGETHER
We should give it a try.
After all.
[The two move to each other slowly, the music swells and we pan in as Angel and Cordelia embrace in a very... awkward kiss. They pull apart, look a little confused, and try kissing again. They pull part again. One more time? Again they try to kiss. They look at each other, this isn't working.]
CORDELIA
Well, we gave it a try.
ANGEL
I guess we're just better as friends.
CORDELIA
Yep.
[Angel and Cordelia share a friendly hug. As they head off into the hotel we pan out and fade to black.]
