Disclaimer: some of the characters u recognize sadly don't belong to me. I'm planning on ::cough:: bribing Joss Wheddon (writer, creator, etc. of Buffy and Angel) or...well there are other ways to convince him. :: Evil Grin::

Time period: we travel all over and sometimes slightly alter the epi(s)

Summery: Buffy verse during a party we're having. Okay, the summery sucks but the story is cool. Warning: much angel, riley...etc bashing. Lol. Enjoy

Fer pressed play and the scene began with Willow and Tara walking thru the
park. There was a dead silence that filled the room and some eyes began to tear.
Tara began to sing and it broke my heart.

"I live my life in shadow, never the sun on my face.
It didn't seem so sad though;
I figured that was my place.
Now I'm bathed in light
Something just isn't right.
I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily

I saw a world enchanted
Spirits and charms in the air
I always took for granted
I was the only one there
But your power shone
Brighter than any I've known

I'm under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you
You worked your charm so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true

You made me believe

The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside

I'm under your spell
Surging like the sea
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my willow tree

You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me com-plete
You make me

The song ended on a happy note but the feeling in the room was mutual. The
silence was deafening.
Willow and Buffy had tears streaming down their faces. Stef was wiping
tears from her eyes and I was too. The scene with Anya and Xander had us laughing and singing along but the
effect that Tara's scene had on us was still in the air. My favorite part of the ep began and I told everyone to shut up. My friends knew not to sing along until the second verse. So all together we screamed
at the top of our lungs, "You know you've got a willing slave, and you just love to play the thought that you might behave, but till you do, I'm tellin' you stop visitin' my
grave."
My second favorite song,
"Where do we go from here?"
The worst five words of the episode,
"I just want to feel."
I lowered the volume knowing that the end was going to be loud.
Me: "that Bitch."
"Excuse me?" Buffy asks. Oops. I had completely forgotten that we were in the Summer's living room.
I was about to comment further when Fer interrupted me.
"You know Ben is Glory.
You mean Ben's with Glory?"
I smiled and joined in.
"With in what sense?
They're working together?"
Fer: "No, no, Ben is Glory. Glory's Ben they're one and the same."
Me: "Well, when did all this happen?" Fer: "Not one hour ago. Right here before your very eyes. Ben came turned
into Glory, snatched the kid, and pfft, vanished. Remember? You do
remember? Is everyone here very stoned? Ben. Glory. He's a doctor. She's the beast. Two entirely separate entities
sharing one body. It's like a bloody sitcom, surely you remember."
Me: "So you're saying ... Ben and Glory...
Have a connection.
Yes, obviously, but what kind?"
Fer: "Oh, I get it. That's very crafty. Glory's worked the kind of mojo
where anyone who sees her little presto-change-o instantly forgets. And
yours truly, being somewhat other than human ... stands immune."
Me: "So ... Ben and Glory ... are-are the same person?
Glory can turn into Ben, and Ben turns back into Glory.
And anyone who sees it instantly forgets."
Fer: "Kewpie doll for the lady." Fer points at Anya.
Me: "Excellent. Now. Do we suspect there may be some kind of connection
between Ben and Glory?"
Fer sighs loudly.
Fer, Bri, Stef, and I burst into hysterical laughter.
The scoobies look at us funny.
Fer: "Found Ben's room at Glory's. Didn't learn much." Me: "Wait, wait, wait. Ben? At Glory's? You're saying all this time he's
been subletting from her?"
Fer: "This ... is gonna be worth it."
Fer slaps me outside the head and we both shout in unison: "OW!!"
