"Curtain Calling"

AUTHOR: jamiesgotagun15

RATING: K+

DISCLAIMER: I don't own characters, the settings, anything like that. But I did write the songs, so feedback would be much appreciated.

NOTE: I'm using just a brief lyric (bet you can't find it!) from another song, "Revolver", by The Donnas. So, please no reviews bashing me for using it. I'm apologizing already.

Curtain Calling!

EXT.- CLEVELAND CEMETERY-MIDNIGHT

(At rise, we see BUFFY and FAITH patrolling the cemetery, each holding their own stake. It is very dark and the cemetery is empty besides the two slayers. BUFFY walks on the right side and FAITH on the left.)

FAITH

I still don't see what you guys are all riled up about. Thought this music thing was supposed to be fun. I mean, c'mon, you saw G-man and Andy gettin' their boogie on. That was classic, B!

BUFFY (Rolling her eyes)

Faith, it's dangerous. Last time this happened people were dancing until they spontaneously combusted!

FAITH (confused)

Spontaneous what?

BUFFY

Combustion, y'know? Blow up? Kaboom? Explode?

FAITH

Oh. (Pauses.) Yeah, whatever. But still, can't be all that bad.

BUFFY

(Mocking.) Can't be all that bad? Pfft.

(FAITH stops in their walk and BUFFY continues on, slowly moving ahead of her a few paces, beginning to sing. Before she starts, a slow, calm rock beat is heard.)

BUFFY

You've got one foot in your mouth

And one foot in your grave

You say you don't need help

But I know you

You're not okay

(BUFFY continues walking forward, arms crossed over her chest and watching the ground. FAITH slowly begins to follow, a look of slight confusion on her face.)

Someday it's going to come

You won't see it here

Death will always come

Though I see for you it's not a fear

(FAITH follows quickly now, catching up to BUFFY as she turns down a new row of tombstones. BUFFY turns around to face FAITH now walking backward. Before BUFFY can continue, FAITH interrupts and begins on her own song, a steadier, more energetic beat.)

FAITH

Hey! What're you sayin' I….

Ain't playin' the game right?

You've got it all wrong I'm….

Just havin' fun

(FAITH begins to advance on BUFFY, forcing the other slayer to retreat slightly. BUFFY'S back hits the wall of a crypt and the two stay stationary for the next verse.)

Don't get strung out

I dunno' what you're sayin'

This job is only a game

Just made for playin'

(BUFFY pushes FAITH away and starts to walk away again, the beat slowing back to its original pace.)

BUFFY

You say you're here to fight

I don't believe you anymore

This fight is coming soon

Are you in or should I show you the door?

(FAITH once again quickly starts to follow, staying on BUFFY'S trail without trouble. She is soon standing beside her, in their original position, and keeping up easily. The music begins to fade on BUFFY's note.)

FAITH (After a beat.)

Right, well… as fun as that was, B. I'm gettin' the message now. Loud an' clear. The singin' is trouble.

Right. Well... that was a really, really, really short chapter. So, I'm sorry about that.
