Title: A Day Too Long (2/?) Author: Electronis Email: electronis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rating: PG-13 Pairing: Buffy/ Spoilers: Anything up to and including 403 – The Harsh Light of Day is fair game Disclaimer: All the characters from the show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” belong to ME. I mean ME as in Mutant Enemy, not me as in myself. If only I were so lucky. Lisa, Amber, Wayne, Clewyn, Duane, and Ray are products of the paranoid delusions I call my mind. “Call Me The Breeze” was written by J.J. Cale and recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd but it fits so I’m borrowing it. Feedback: Most definitely. Archive: my site www.electroniszappa.com. Anyone who wants it for theirs, just let me know where it's going Summary: Semi-AU, branches off just before the beginning of season 4 Note: anything between <> are song lyrics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Previously “What’s wrong with your face? Amber what are you doi...” The blonde stops what she’s doing only to vamp out and turn toward her. “You must be the slayer, I heard this is where you were. Doesn’t matter though, you won’t be here long.” With that, she lunged at Buffy, toppling her over. From a distance, a solitary figure watched the fight and the second vampire flee from his Harley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Buffy and “They were making out right there in the
middle of cemetery?” <Ain't no change in the weather Ain't no changes in me Well there ain't no change in the weather Ain't no changes in me And I ain't hidin' from nobody Nobody's hidin' from me Oh, that's the way its supposed to be> “Yep, things were starting to heat up just as I got there. A few more minutes and I would have walked into the middle of the whole show.” <Well I got that green light baby I got to keep movin' on Well I got that green light baby I got to keep movin' on Well I might go out to Might go up to I don't know> “Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the hell mouth throws something new in the mix. But it is the nineties, there’snothing wrong if two girls decide they want to be together. Even if they are vampires.” “I’m guessing one of them vamped the other. Ok, maybe that’s stating the obvious, but vamps tend to be pretty close to their sires. Look at Spike and Dru. He was still all crazy about her eventhough she kicked him to the curb. Anyway, I’m also guessing they had same sex tendencies before they died. Angel told me that when a person’s vamped, a lot of who the vampire is comes from the person they were. Apparently the absence of a soul tends to unleash things that they might have kept bottled up.” “Wait, back in February when we had locked up my evil twin in the book cage and I said I thought I was gay, you told me that a vamp’s personality had NOTHING to do with who they were.” “You’re right Will, I
forgot.” Buffy
lied. She knew exactly what she
had said. After Angel had gone evil, she
had thought of going after the shy redhead, but decided against it when she
started dating Oz. Besides, someone like
“That’s not always the case is it? I mean can’t some of it come from the demon too?” the hacker asked. She couldn’t let Buffy know she hit it right on the head. She was with Oz, and she loved him, but it was nothing like what she felt for Buffy. If the slayer wanted her, she was hers, it was as simple as that. She wanted totell Buffy what she meant to her, but the risk was too high. She could lose both her boyfriend andher best friend. Though know one knew it, she could live without Oz. It might hurt for a bit, but she’d get over it. If she lost Buffy on the other hand, the world meant nothing to her. The last summer had been pure hell on the redhead. Thankfully, she had Oz and Giles and Xander and even Cordelia to help her look for her. She made it through cause she knew inher heart Buffy would be back. If she had been gone for much longer though the crumbling would have began.. “Oh yeah absolutely. It’s not all from the person. The demon adds to the personality as
well.” She could tell that “They’re new in town, from the south.
I want to say “As in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?” “More than likely. Doesn’t sound good in this towndoes it.” “Par for the course I’d say. Especially since blondie had a southern accent too. Looks like summer’s over. I’m going to go talkto them, see if we have anything to worry about.” With that Buffy got up and made her way to the stage. The guitarist was the first to see her coming,
and pointed her out to his friend.
“Look “I do believe you’re right
Clewyn.” He answered as helooked
at the small blonde approaching him.
After the night before, he knew exactly who she was. “You want to request a song foryour
girlfriend over there?” the tall singer asked as he looked in the direction of “Girlfriend? Oh, you mean “Thanks, uh….I don’t think I caught your name.” “Oh sorry, I’m Buffy.” “Nice to meet you Buffy, that’s Ray back there on drums, Duane on bass, and Clewyn on lead guitar.” “So, what do I call you, I mean besidesthe
breeze. Must say, glad to see you
decided to come to “Funny, glad to see you pay attention. My name’s Marion, but everyone calls me Wayne.” “Why’s that?” “It’s my last name. My parents are big John Wayne fans. But since they already named my olderbrother
John, they called me Marion. Andthey
call my brother Duke, so I’m “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you Wayne.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spike and Harmony wandered around the docks, looking for a meal. “Blondie Bear, when do we get to go to a party? I’m tired of hidingout, eating whatever lowlife we can find here.” “I told you pet, as soon as we find thegem of Amara, we’ll make our move. Once the slayer’s one of us, we’ll party like it’s…..that song turned useless last New Year’s Eve didn’t it? No matter, thistown will be ours then.” Up ahead, they noticed a pretty brunette. “Well, well, well, looks like we might have found ourselves a snack, eh Harm?” “I’ve already been a meal, I’m out looking for one myself.” She said with a charming southern lilt as she put her game face on to show she was one of them. “What were you saying about the slayer?” “Once my little Spikey finds the gem of Amara, he’s going to kill her.” “Gem of Amara? What’s that?” “It makes whoever wears it invincible. Once I find it, she and I are going to have it out once and for all.” “Mind if I join you? That bitch took my Amber from me. I want a piece of her too.” “The more the merrier” “Spike, no threesomes, unless it’s boy boy girl, or Charlize Theron.” “Amber kinda looked like her.” “Yeah, well you don’t, you look more like that chick the girl from ‘All My Children’ kissed in ‘Cruel Intentions’.” “You know what Harmony, I’ve had about all I can bloody well take of you, so why don’t you just sod off!” he screamed at her while he grabbing a piece of wood and then shoving it through Harmony’s unbeating heart. “I’ve got me a new girl now.” he said as he put his arm around the brunette. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “I’ll have something cold and frothy,
and preferably Canadian.” “You’re from the south and you drink Canadian beer?” Buffy asked the singer. “What can I say, they know how to do it right. But I only drink southernwhiskey.” “What about Scotch?” Clewyn asked his friend. “Aside from that one Scotch on the rocks at the party after prom, when have you ever seen me drink Scotch? I only drink bourbon and you know it” “So, how’d you come up with your band name? I mean, I get the reference and all, but why’d you settle on that name?” the slayer asked, still trying to decide if they were evil or not. So far, they seemed perfectly harmless. “We all have Harleys. Steel horses if you will. We picked it cause we thought it sounded
kinda bad ass, and as a bit of a conversation starter. There used to be five of us. My girlfriend and I would trade off on
vocals, and we had a three guitar setup going for awhile.” “Oh, what happened to her?” “She died.
They think a stray dog wandered into the yard, and when she went to help
it, it bit her. Her father foundher a
few hours later.” It wasn’t
a total lie, that’s what everyone thought. But “Sure” both girls answered. He got it out of his wallet and handed it
first to “My god Will, this is the one that got away.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
