K, here we go…I hope this isn't a total waste of time.
The next morning...Sam is Laying on the Shay's couch, when she springs awake.
…Sam's POV…
I have got to stop falling asleep on Carly's couch. I always have the strangest dreams. And now I have the opening from that awesome episode we watched last night stuck in my head.
I remember the girl, only a little older than me, belting
Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel the strangest strangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
I've been making shows of trading blows
just hoping no one knows
That I've been going through the motions
walking through the part.
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
What about me? Am I just 'going through the motions'? I mean, we did the whole 'girly' thing when I tried to date Pete, but it didn't stick. Do people still just see me as the 'tough' girl who beats up Gibby?
I was always brave and kind of rightous,
Now I find I'm wavering.
Crawl out of your grave you'll find this fight,
just doesn't mean a thing.
Why am I worrying about this? Get it together Puckett. What do I care what people think? Why the angst all of a sudden?
Vamp: She ain't got that swing
Buffy: Thanks for noticing!
Vamps/Demon: She does pretty well with things from hell
but lately we can tell she's been going through the motions.
Faking it somehow.
She's not even half the girl she....ow
As I remember the demons singing, I can't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity.
Buffy: Will I stay this way forever?
Sleep walk through my life's endeavor.
Hot Guy: How can I repay...?
Buffy: whatever!
I don't want to be...
going through the motions,
loosing all my drive
I can't even see, if this is really me
and i just want to be....
Alive!
Alright, Puckett. Starting today, you are makin' some changes. It's time to get your life in order, and become more than the violent sidekick. First things first...
"Ham!" I get the last of the ham outta Carly's fridge, I'm sure she won't mind.
