Fred sat in the lobby watching the stairs. It was nearly noon and Angel and Cordelia still hadn't come down. She smiled when she remembered the way the three of them looked the night before. It wasn't the first time Angel, Cordelia and Connor had looked like a perfect family. It wasn't the first time Cordelia and Angel had looked so perfect together either. It made Fred wonder why the two of them can't just admit their feelings for each other. Taking a deep breath she opened her mouth to sigh and started singing instead.

"+Every single time the same old questions,
I wonder what goes on inside?
Still what I feel 'bout this strange arrangement,
is something there is real,
something there is right+"

Standing up Fred walked into Wesley's office where Wes was trying to make Gunn play chess with him. She glances back at the lobby then at Cordy's desk.

"+I've been making notes as I watch them both,
just waiting till they know.
That they've developed these emotions.
Something oh so right.
But no one seems to want to take a part+"

Wesley stares at the chess pieces, contemplates his next move then starts singing too.

"+I have always thought that it was nonsense,
but now I may have found a thing.
I know it seems insane but the other day he,
he gave her a ring.+"

Gunn shrugs. "+Maybe it doesn't mean a thing.+"

Wesley stares at him incredulously. "+And I'm the tooth fairy king.+"

The three of them start singing as if it was the most normal thing in the world to do.

"+They stick really well like Angel's gel,
but lately we can tell.
That they've developed these emotions+"

Gunn echoes. "+Developed these emotions.+"

"+Closer to the heart.+" Fred adds walking towards the two of them.

Gunn grins at Fred.

"+Fred, girl, you lookin hot in tha- ow!+"

He glares at Welsey who's acting as if he didn't throw the chess piece at him. The phone rings and Wesley stands up to get it.

Fred doesn't notice their antics and just keeps on singing.

"+Will they just deny forever?
Refuse to see what they have together.+"

Wesley puts the phone on the desk. "+There seems to be a call for Ang-+"

Fred stands up abruptly.

"+I'll get him. I hope they're not asleep.+"

Fred walks out of the office still singing

"+Angel and Cordelia.
With Kye-rumption and Moira.
I know I shouldn't be, a really nosy bee.
I just want them to see, their love!+"

After the last line Fred stops when she realizes that they were just singing. The two guys stare at her a bit shocked as well. Fred turns back to them. "We were just singing weren't we?"

"Yeah." Gunn agreed both surprised and amused.

Wesley took off his glasses and started wiping them off. "On key, amazingly enough."

Fred just stands there a confused frown on her face. She then notices the phone off its cradle. "Oh, um, I'll go get Angel."

She hurries up the stairs leaving Gunn and Wesley to wonder why they were singing and how in the world they had managed to actually sing well.
