Buffy waited as Chris pulled out her Chair for her taking a seat.

"I still can't believe you did this." Buffy said smiling across the table at him.

"Well, I had help." Chris replied.

"I know but still, it must have taken forever." Buffy replied as the candles twinkled in the darkness.

"Your worth it." Chris replied.

Magic School:

"Got um." Paige yelled as she and Phoebe orbed into magic school.

"Give me." Piper demanded ripping the envelope from her hands. "Oh, they look so cute." Piper exclaimed as Leo looked on over her shoulder.

"You should have seen Chris's face when she came walking down the stairs." Phoebe laughed.

"They can." Paige said evilly shuffling through the photos. "Here." She declared finding it.

"So where is this 'prom' going on anyway?" Leo asked.

"Don't know." Phoebe replied.

"Yeah, Chris took care of all that." Paige explained. "He said something about having it at their place. Wherever that is."

"I feel so bad for them." Piper said sadly.

"I know, but they knew this was coming from day one." Paige replied.

"I wont make it hurt any less." Leo replied sadly.

Bridge:

"You don't have to wear that." Buffy said as Chris adjusted his tie uncomfortably. "Here." She said reaching up and undoing it."

"I just wanted everything to be perfect for you." Chris said smiling down at her.

"It is, but I didn't need all this. I just needed you." Buffy replied.

"You have me." Chris replied leaning down to capture her lips. Buffy smiled as they broke apart leaning her head against his chest. "It's getting late."

"One more dance?" Buffy asked. He wrapped his arms around her as the swayed neither realizing the music and stopped playing long ago. "I wish we didn't have to say goodbye tomorrow. It's not fair" She sighed.

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day

"I thought we weren't going to talk about that," Chris began pulling slightly away to look at her. "Tomorrow doesn't exist, remember?" She nodded stepping back into his embrace.

"Let's get out of here?" Buffy said smiling up at him.

I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless then maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

"Do you want me to take you back to the manor?" Chris asked.

"No, not yet." Buffy replied. She pulled him down for a kiss ashe orbed them away. They broke apart for air. Buffy glanced around finding herself in the back at Piper's ClubShe walked away from Chris sitting on his bed. She smiled at him sadly.

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel

"I wasn't trying to, I mean I didn't bring you here because I thought." Chris rambled.

"It's ok, I know. I was just thinking about the first time I was here. I was so angry, so hurt and now." She explained. "I wanted it all to be over, I hated everything about my life, even my friends, I was ready to give up. And then you, you made me realize why I fight." She finished as Chris sat next to her.

you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

"I didn't do anything." Chris began.

"Yes you did." Buffy replied turning on the bed so she could face him. "You made me realize how much I'd be missing out on, how great life can be. That there are things out there worth all the crap I go through, things that are worth fighting for." She finished wrapping her arms around him and capturing his lips.

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack

"Buffy." Chris said pulling away and trying to catch his breath, " We don't have to.." She put a finger up to his lips silencing him.

"We're living in the moment remember." Buffy said pushing his jacket off his shoulders. "No promises, no regrets, no worrying about tomorrow."

it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

"I can do that." Chris said reaching up and pulling the pins from her hair, running his hands trough it as it fell from it's carefully made updo.

"Buffy." Chris said pulling her attention away from the buttons of his shirt. "I think I might be in love with you."

"Don't say that." She replied a few tears escaping as she tried to blink them back.

"I'm sorry." Chris began pulling away but she grabbed his arm stopping him.

"It's just, how am I supposed to let you go now?" She asked tearfully. "I don't know how to say goodbye."

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie

"Then don't." Chris replied. "We may not have each other but, you'll always have my heart." She smiled as he wiped away her tears.

"We may not have forever, but we have tonight." She said capturing his lips She puled away slightly. "Just promise you wont try and kill me tomorrow."

"I'll try not to." Chris said smiling as he pulled her back into his embrace. "Are you sure.."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again." Buffy cut him off. "You talk to much."

you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
