Heart Strings
Wow, thanks you guys! Shelly, Aisling, Dana, Leonora, and Catt- you’re fabulous! I’m not going to rehash every moment from the episode “OMWF,” just the main four scenes involving Spike and Buffy- rewritten. This also includes the lyrics of Spike’s song. It goes a bit differently this time. The rewritten lines are italicized. Same melody and all that, hope it’s okay! Oh, and I broke this episode down into two parts- here’s the first. I hope this one does ya proud…
“Heart Strings”
Buffy wasn’t sure if it was against her better judgment, or was her better judgment avoiding Spike for the past three days. She knew that the whole waltz thing was mostly a distraction on his part, which she gladly fell into, but when she walked home that night, she still had a few doubts about the whole “chip is now officially busted” thing. She didn’t know what to say to him, exactly. So she figured by not seeing him, she didn’t have to. Which was sad and worrying at the same time. Sad, because she missed him and his company. Worrying, because she had no idea what he had been up to. The Slayer part of her suspected something devious, and that he was merely biding his time, but friend Buffy told Slayer Buffy to just shut the hell up and get over herself. Plus, Spike was way impatient. Waiting wasn’t his thing. But, when all the singing began going on around the town, she thought that maybe he’d have some useful info, and it would be a legitimate reason to see him and still avoid the whole chip issue.
After opening the crypt door, a small, pleased smile graced her face. She noticed that for the evening, he had gone all curly.
“Sun sets and she appears. Come to serenade me?”
“So you know what’s going on?”
“Seen some damn funny things the last two days. 600 pound Chirago demon makin’ like Yma Sumac. That one will stay with you. I remained immune, happy to say. Drink?” He asked, holding up a bottle.
“A world of no. So, any ideas on what’s causing this?”
“So, that’s all you came for then? We’re just gonna ignore the fact that you haven’t been by here the past few days, or patrolling with me. Surprised you weren’t out and about following me, thinking I might do something dastardly and evil. Well sorry to disappoint, Slayer. Not in the mood for twenty questions.” He said, opening the door for her to leave.
“You’re all bad moody.” She said, completely ignoring everything he just said. That was Buffy for ya- Queen of Avoidance. Shaking his head with a roll of his eyes, he gave an exasperated sigh. He could feel something taking control of him, and he began to desperately hope that she would just get up and leave before it happened.
“It’s nothing. Glad you could stop by.”
“What?” She prodded. Damn her.
“S’nothing.” And then it happened. He started to sing.
I died
So many years ago.
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so.
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know.
Mmm-mmm.
You're scared;
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love-
You know they couldn't deal.
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real.
That's great.
But I don't wanna play.
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say.
Don’t let me be just dead to you;
Don’t keep feelings at bay.
Don’t let our friendship cease.
Let me be your beast.
My feelings run deep.
Let me give my love to you, Buffy.
My heart- you can keep.
I love to make you smile,
But your guilt- you won’t release.
Just let me be your beast.
You know, you got a willing slave.
Could drive a stake through my dead heart
Your life, I wish I’d saved.
What can I do
To get through to you?
Love I willingly gave.
Just let me be your beast.
I know I should go.
But I follow you like a man possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest.
But now you see, cause I’ve confessed.
Don’t leave, Buffy.
Let me be your beast.
My feelings run deep.
Let me give my love to you, Buffy.
My heart- you can keep.
I’d love to make you smile
But your guilt- you won’t release.
Just let me be your beast.
Why won’t you let me be your beast?
Throughout the song, they ended up in a grave, her lying on top of him. For a moment, he thought that she was going to kiss him after his declaration. Then that look of cold fear entered her eyes. She hastily got up and out of the grave, running as fast as she could. Hell, she might as well have been screaming too. Even so, he poked his head up and asked to her rapidly retreating form, “So, you’re not staying then?”
