Part 1:

Buffy walked through the cemetery, headed towards Spikes. She hadn't seen him in two days, and she wanted to talk to him. She got to his crypt door and stopped. It was half way open and she saw him sitting on top of his coffin staring at a picture of her. She was about to walk inside when he started to sing, so she hid behind the door and listened: Song: Almost Doesn't Count by: Brandy (I changed the words a little):

"Almost made you happy, Almost made you cry, Almost made you happy, babe, Didn't I, didn't I?

You almost had me thinkin', You were turned around, But everybody knows, Almost doesn't count...

Almost heard you sayin', You were finally free, What was always missin' for you, babe, You found it in me,

But you can't get to heaven, Half off the ground, Everybody knows, Almost doesn't count......

I can't keep on lovin' you, One foot outside the door, I hear a funny hesitation, From a heart that never really shows, I can't keep on tryin' if you're lookin' for more, You know that I can give you, What you can't get for....

Gonna find me somebody, Not afraid to let go, Wanna know what came in for today, Well you came real close, But every time you build me up, You only let me down, But everybody knows, Almost doesn't count......

I can't keep on lovin' you, One foot outside the door, I hear a funny hesitation, From a heart that never really showed, Can't keep on tryin' if you're lookin' for more, You know that I can give you, What you can't get for...

Maybe you'll be sorry, Maybe you'll be cold, Maybe you'll come runnin' back babe From the cruel cruel world, Almost convinced me, You're gonna stick around, But everybody knows, Almost doesn't count....

So maybe you'll be here, Maybe I'll see you around, That's the way it goes, Almost doesn't count......

(End of song)

Spike thought he sensed someone outside his door, but then it was gone.

Part 2:

Buffy walked fast through the cemetery. She had to run. Run away from there. Get away from there as fast as she could, so she could escape what she was feeling before she admitted it. *Uh-oh, to late.* Was her last thought before she stopped and started to sing: Song: Have You Ever by: Brandy (I changed the words to this one a little)

"Have you ever love somebody so much it makes you cry, Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night, Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right...

Have you ever, oh, have you ever," she started to sing. Then it started to rain softly, as if to go in rhythm to her song and she started to dance to the words that she was singing. Then she sang,:

"Have you ever been in love, Been in love so grand, That you'd do anything, oh, To make them understand, Have you ever had someone, A steady heart away, That you'd give anything, oh, To make them feel the same....

Have you ever searched for words to get you in their arms, But you don't know what to say, Yeah you don't know where to start.......

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry, Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night, Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't' come out right, Have you ever, oh, have you ever.........

Have you ever found the one, You dreamed of all your life, Do just about anything, oh, To look into their eyes,

Have you finally found the one You'd be willing to give your heart to, Only to find that you.....Won't take the chance to lose...

Have you ever closed your eyes and dreamed of that forever, But all you can do is wait, For that day when you will cave....

Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry, Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night, Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right, Have you ever, oh, have you ever......

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby, What do I gotta say to get to your heart, To make you understand how I need you next to me, Gotta get you in my world, Cause baby I can't sleep...

Have you ever love somebody so much it makes you cry, Have you ever needed something so bad you can't sleep at night, Have you ever tried to find the words but they don't come out right, Have you ever.have you ever.....

Oh, have you ever........"

(End of song and the rain stops as well)

"Okay, now that was freaky," she said to herself.

She started to patrol, when someone dropped down behind her from the top of a mausoleum (crypt). Buffy turned and raised her stake instinctively.........
