After a hard day's rehearsal at a real rehearsal hall, Xander drives the girls home. Tara switches the stations on the radio from Xander's country music to something more upbeat.
"Oh my gosh," says Tara when she stops at one of the stations.
"That's our song," says Willow. "We have a song on the radio." The girls scream making Xander a little death.
"We sound really great," says Anya. "This is so cool."
"I can't believe this happening," says Tara. "We have a single and we're doing an album."
"It's real alright," says Xander. "I told you. I knew you would make it."
"I just want kiss someone," says Tara. She looks at Xander and he gets a little nervous. "I want to kiss Spike. If it wasn't for him none of this would of happen." Xander's hopes drops to zero degrees.
"Yeah, he's done a lot for us," says Anya.
"He has but Xander's done a lot too. I mean we recorded our first demo because of him and we got that gig that got us notice," says Willow.
"Yeah, but who brought us to the record company and who's working with us on our album," says Tara. "Spike has done so much for us." Suddenly Tara's cell phone rings. "Hello."
"Are you near a radio?" ask the person on the phone. "Put it on 98.7."
"We just heard it," says Tara. " Isn't it amazing?"
"You guys sound great," says the person.
"Who's on the phone?" ask Xander.
"It's Spike," replies Tara quickly. "This is a dream come true. Getting to hear myself on the radio."
"I'm glad your dream came true," says Spike. "I've got some more news for you."
"What?"
"The boss man said he's scheduled a video shoot."
"We're making a video."
"Yep, the shoot is tomorrow at 8 in the morning."
"Tomorrow will be great." Tara looks at the girls and they nod yes.
"Okay, it's a low budget shoot so bring three outfits with you guys."
"We can do that."
"Let me give you the address." Spike gives Tara the address and she quickly takes it down.
"Alright, are you going to be there?" Tara bites her lower lip.
"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"I'll see you then. I mean we'll see tomorrow." Xander rolls his eyes. Tara hangs up and the girls look at each other.
"We are going to do a video," they all say at the same time.
"We need to bring our own clothes but it will be great," says Tara.
"Harris," says Anya. Xander turns his head around as he stopped at a red light. "Make a U turn. We're going to the mall."
When they arrive at the mall the girls enter ahead of Xander. Xander entered with his PDA and a five inch battery look alike container. This contain his creation recharging, Buffy.
The girls enter a boutique that sells the nicest clothes. They are casual but very stylish too. When Xander entered the store he goes up to the sales clerk, a brunette that look like a model. He hugs her and introduces the girls to her.
"This is my cousin Cordelia," says Xander. The girls greet her and Xander explain why they are there.
"Congratulations girls," says Cordelia. "I do have some special clothes that just came in if you're interested."
"We are interested," Anya says.
"Come on in." Cordelia leads the girls to the back. She then turns to Xander. "So still single?"
"Cordy that's none of your business," says Xander walking over to a table in the back. He connects his PDA into the batter like container.
"Xander I cannot believe you haven't ask Tara out."
"Tara. She's my friend."
"Xander please. Even you don't believe that."
"What are you getting at Cordy?"
"Xander you've been in love with Tara since the fifth grade."
"How could you know that?"
"Remember when we were playing soft ball and you threw the ball at her."
"I was trying to get her out."
"She was on your team."
"You're point." Cordy gives him a grin.
"What are you doing there?"
"It's my latest experiment." Xander typed a couple digits on his PDA and Buffy appeared. Cordy becomes in shock. "Pretty cool."
"Xander how did you do that?"
"My dads new computer equipment."
"Wow. She looks so real." Cordy touches her but her hand goes through her.
"That tickles," says Buffy looking at Cordy.
"She
feels?" ask Cordy.
"No."
"I'm kidding." Buffy
smiles. Xander nods his head.
"She's cute," says Cordy. "Tara must be jealous."
"How
do know?"
"It's obvious. You made the perfect girl."
"She's
not real."
"But she exists and that's the problem."
"Cordelia these clothes awesome," says Tara coming from the back room.
"I'm glad you like them," says Cordelia still looking at Xander. "You guys can pick anything you like. It's on me."
"We couldn't possibly," says Tara.
"I insist," says Cordy.
The girls pick out their outfits and head out of the boutique. They thank Cordelia and ask her to come see the shoot tomorrow. Cordy accepted.
"Come on Buffy," says Xander as he exit's the boutique.
"Xander," calls Cordy. Xander turns to around. Xander walks over to Tara as she enters another store.
"Tara," says Xander.
"Xander," says Tara as she glances at him and continues to look at some earrings.
"Do you want to go out?"
"What?"
"To a movie."
"You asking me out on a date."
"Yes, and dinner. Tonight." Tara turns to Xander.
"I love to." Tara smiles.
"Great um," says Xander. "I'll pick you up at seven." Xander turns around to look for Buffy and sees that she's talking to Angel. He walks over to the two just as Angel leaves.
Buffy smiles at Xander.
"Buffy what were you doing?" ask Xander.
"I didn't do anything," says Buffy.
"You were talking to Angel."
"Yes. He ask me out on date."
"He what?"
"He wants to take me to the movies tonight."
"What did you say?"
"I said yes. I like him Xander. He's sweet."
"No. No. No. Buffy you can't like him."
"Why not?" Buffy blinks a couple times trying to imitate other humans.
"Because you're not real."
"I don't understand. I exist, therefore I must be real."
"You exist because of me. I made you but you're just lights and images."
"Can't you make me real?"
"I don't have that kind of power."
