Chapter 10. High Resolution. Tara and Spike are in bad shape. Will this be the end of the Megawatts?

Buffy gets nervous and tips over a cup of water onto her hand. The water then starts to affect her negatively as electrical charges run through her. She quickly grabs for the bed and accidentally grabs Spike's hand. An electrical shock goes through Spike's body and he awakens. He sees Buffy fall to the floor and she lets go of his hand.

"Buffy," says Spike recognizing the girl on the floor. "Nurse. Someone." Spike grabs his beeper to signal for a nurse to come to his room.

"Doctor I think that Buffy shouldn't have gone alone into Spike's room," says Willow. "Maybe I should…"

"Emergency in room 111," says a nurse.

"That's…"

"Oh, no Buffy," says Willow as she follows the nurses heading to the room. The doctor and the others follow her. They all enter the room and see Spike pointing at the floor.

"She's not well," says Spike. "I don't know what happen to her." Everyone looks at where he is pointing but they see no one on the ground. They all look at him strangely. Spike then looks to where Buffy fell and he doesn't see her.

"Where did she go?" The doctor walks over to his bed side and starts to check him.

"This is incredible," says the doctor. "A miracle."

"Doctor I'm fine, but you gotta fine her, Buffy. She didn't look good."

"Maybe she step out," says Darla as she pulls the doctor to her. "Doctor we should go find her and check the restrooms." Darla and the doctor exit the room. Everyone else turn their heads toward Spike.

"I'm not crazy. I saw her," says Spike as he shakes his head.

"We believe you," says Willow as she walks over to Spike's side.

"Tara," says Spike remembering the reason that he is in a hospital bed. "Is she alright?"

"She's in a coma," says Anya.

"Oh, my gosh," says Spike as he buries his head in his hands.

"Spike you have to tell us what happen when you saw Buffy?" ask Willow.

"Um, I just saw her for a moment and she fell. She was holding my hand…" Willow looks at the nightstand and sees the a cup on the ground with a puddle of water next to it.

"She got electrocuted. With the water." Willow picks up the cup then looks at the ground and starts to see Buffy reappear. "Buffy." Spike sees her reappear and rubs his eyes hard.

"Can you fix her Willow?" ask Giles.

"I think I can," replies Willow as she plugs Buffy into her PDA. "She's fully charge, just a couple of negative charges mess up her appearance. Electricity never really works with water."

"How did she?" ask Spike.

"She's a hologram," replies Anya.

Meanwhile, in Tara's room Xander is sitting at her side with his head down trying to think what he should say to her even though she won't hear him.

"I'm idiot," says Xander. "I know it now but…If you and I wouldn't have gotten in that stupid fight at the studio this wouldn't have happen. I guess ifs can't help anyone. I need to tell you something that I've been trying to tell you for most of my teenage life and that is that I like you." Xander pauses then caresses her cheek.

"I mean we've been friends forever and there's just so little that friends can do. There's nothing between me and Buffy. Yeah, at first I was building her for my own self but it was because I didn't have the balls to tell you that I love you." Xander sighs.

"There, it's out. You deserve someone way better than me. It's true. I mean I wouldn't want to date me." Xander laughs and looks down at her hand. He then feels a squeeze and looks up at Tara's face. "Tara."

Tara's eyes open slowly and she sees Xander. She gives him a smile and pulls him closer to her.

"Thanks for having the balls to tell me that you love me," says Tara as she moves in close to Xander and kisses him on the lips.

The doctor and Darla head to Tara's room thinking that maybe Buffy is there. When they enter the room they are surprise to see Tara awake as she pulls away from Xander. Darla pushes the doctor aside as she rushes over to her daughters side. Xander moves away to let her mother through.

"Tara," says Darla as she hugs her daughter.

"Mom," says Tara.

"How did this happen?" ask the doctor. "Another miracle."

"What?" ask Xander wondering what the doctor meant.

"The other victim. He came out of consciousness."

"He did."

"And we are looking for the girl you came in with. She's missing. She was with the other victim. He had said that she was not well." Xander looks at Tara then heads out of the room.

"Where is his room?" ask Xander to the doctor. The doctor gives him his room number. Xander heads over to the Spike's room and sees Willow and Giles next to Buffy's side.

"Buffy. Is she okay. The doctor said she was missing."

"That's cause she faded. A little short circuit," says Willow. Xander grabs the PDA in Willows hands. He starts to typing away. Some sparks fly around and Buffy finally can fully be seen.

"That feels much better," says Buffy as she hugs Xander.

"I'm still confuse here," says Spike. "You said she is a hologram but she can touch."

"Don't know how did it but Buffy's real," says Xander as he helps Buffy up.

"How is Tara?" ask Buffy to Xander. He turns to her putting his hand on her shoulder.

"She's awake," replies Xander with a smile.

"Thank God," says Spike.

"She's with her mom." Xander turns to Buffy. "I think we better tell the doctor that we found you."

The doctor did not have a clue of what actually cause two coma stricken patients to suddenly awake. Both Spike and Tara had to stay overnight at the hospital for some observations. As soon as they were release the band, including Tara's mother, Giles, Xander, and Spike headed to the record label office and demanded to speak with Ethan.

"I heard the news," says Ethan. "Are you alright?" They all look at him with serious expressions.

"The doctors called you tons of times and all they got is your voice message," says Spike. "You sign a contract with these girls and you don't even care about them."

"I do care. Really I do. I'm sorry that I couldn't go to the hospital and see you, but I am a busy man."

"Too busy to care about anyone but yourself," says Tara. "Ethan, I just got two words for you…I quit."

"You can't. You sign a contract. You're mind for the next four years."

"Hey, buddy we didn't sign up to sell our souls to the devil," says Willow. "I quit too."

"It's not fair. We didn't even get the money," says Anya. Everyone looks at her. "I'm with them."

"Well, I don't need you," says Ethan. "I have Buffy the main attraction. I'll make her a star and you three will be sorry."

"Sir, I love to sing and dance for you," says Buffy with a big smile. "There's just one thing I want to do."

"What's that my dear?"

"This." Buffy punches Ethan in the nose. No one expected that from Buffy.

"Way to go Buffy," says Tara putting her arm around Buffy's shoulder.

"Thank you," replies Buffy.

"Well, lets get out of here before he gets up," says Spike as he puts his arm around Buffy and leads her with the others outside.

"I guess that's it for the Megawatts," says Tara.

"No it's not," says Xander turning to Tara.

"We lost the contract Xander."

"That doesn't mean that you guys are over."

"He's right. You girls have got talent," says Spike. "If I had the money I'd invest on you in a heart beat."

"How much do you need?" ask Giles.

"Dad," says Xander.

"Start up, for a descent record. I say about a thousand will do. I've got hook ups."

"I've got 700 dollars."

"We only need 300 more," says Tara.

"I can put 100 from my allowance," says Xander.

"I can put 50," says Willow. Then she looks at Anya.

"What?" says Anya. "I can put 50 too."

"I'll put in the last hundred," says Spike. "And we've got ourselves a record."
