lovers dance

As she scanned the waiting area Buffy took a deep breath trying to contain her nervousness, she tried to go through her routine in her head but seeing the other dancers stretching and giving themselves ‘pep talks’ just made her more anxious and so she decided to focus on the room. It was almost as big as her mothers whole art gallery decorated with art probably more expensive, she briefly wondered why they would need such décor in a waiting area but she remembered her mom always saying how some art was relaxing and assumed that played a major part.

“Buffy Summers”

She nearly collapsed when she heard the assistant calling her name, “Ok Buffy, get a grip” she mentally chided herself as she took another deep breath and followed the brunette girl who after reading her name tag learned her name was Lydia.

“Nervous?” the young woman asked as they entered through double doors.

“Petrified” Buffy replied with a nervous laugh, Lydia smiled back and opened another door gesturing for Buffy to go through.

“Don’t worry the big cheese around here isn’t as bad as you’d expect, just remember to smile during your audition and try not to fall flat on your face” she laughed as the look of horror swept over the young blondes face. “Oh I’m sorry it was a joke, you’ll be fine” still giggling to herself she held open the last door which led to the auditorium and told Buffy to make her way on to the stage to prepare.

Staring down from the stage Buffy willed her shakiness to disappear, she was relieved she couldn’t actually see who she was auditioning for, Spike had gave her the great idea of pretending she was just dancing for him and not being able to see anyone else made it easier to put into practice.

“Right Buffy, your music will start in just a minute and I have to add that it’s a very interesting song that you’ve chosen”

She nodded her head in thanks and listened for the beginning of her song.


A last fire will rise behind those eyes
Black house will rock, blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear, that voice so clear
Through broken walls, that scream I hear


She moved her hips slowly in time to the beat raising one hand above her head whilst moving the other one outwards in the third ballet position, dropping them both and lifting one leg she pirouetted across the stage. Her heart was beating ten times faster than usual with adrenalin pumping through her body and she smiled brightly as she perfected another turn.


Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill


She leaped gracefully and perfected her landing and still managed to remember the next move which delighted her, tracing her hips and side of her breasts with her hands she continued to dance, briefly threading her hands through her hair she contracted her rib cage out bringing her knee to meet her elbow before kicking her leg out in front of her and landing in the splits on the floor.

Blue masquerade, strangers look on
When will they learn this loneliness?
Temptation heat beats like a drum
Deep in your veins, I will not lie


Little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now

Spinning across the stage with ease she was amazed that she hadn’t messed up once, she realised at that moment that she had to dance, no matter what happened today she would keep going and eventually be as good as they needed if not better and she would keep trying.

Cry, little sister - Thou shall not fall
Come to your brother - Thou shall not die
Unchain me, sister - Thou shall not fear
Love is with your brother - Thou shall not kill

Sliding across the smooth surface letting her legs lead she gradually came to lie down with one hand over her face and the other stretched out in front of her making a perfect line with the rest of her body.

Calming herself for a minute before standing she let herself relax, as she faced outwards towards where the ‘panel’ were the lights blinded her momentarily before they were switched off and the house lights came up revealing Lydia and two men at either side.

“Well Buffy that was impressive, you didn’t fall on your face once” noticing the confusion on her face she smiled “I’m sorry I didn’t introduce myself, I’m Lydia the ‘big cheese’ around these parts” she used her fingers to air quote the comment before standing and making her way to the stage to greet the out of breath teen.

“I like to do the meet and greet to get a feel for the attitudes of the people auditioning for my schools, you passed the initial test, your not some stuck up little teen who lives off mummy and daddy’s money whilst believing you should get in to the school because you simply want to” she smiled warmly and extended her hand to help Buffy off the stage.

“Well I guess you’d like to know if you passed the main test huh?”

ok, i have no idea if i like that chapter, i could picture the dance in my head but it was hard to explain........... let me know what you guys think???? please!! *begs*

the song was called cry little sister from the soundtrack to the film lost boys for those who didnt recognise it, i was going for a kind of sexy {ish} routine and think that song would be perfect.

oh and on a final note thank you all to those who have reviewed throughout this story, i really appreciate them all!!

Pattyanne: i done a happy dance after reading your review of my last chapter, i love everything i have ever read of yours and it was big compliment recieving a review like that from you!
