FIC: Wishful Thinking

["D.R. Garcia" <dr_garcia@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone. Well, after my short suggestion last week
I really started thinking about writing a piece of
fiction myself. It was just that whole 'out of
character' thing that kept me immobile. But then it
hit me, 'just make the story in a totally alternative
world and for the out of character to happen.' So now
here it is. I'm sorry in advance for my writing style
more than anything. Let me just warn that it is mostly
dialog between the characters, but it does progress as
the story moves on.

Now I'll just set up the unfolding scene:
Buffy has just moved to Sunnydale to live with her
favorite cousin Cordelia (I warned you it was an
alternative world). And, Buffy is also, NOT the
slayer, yet.
Willow is not a geeky, computer nerd, even though she
is like this super genius.
There is no Angel, Oz, Faith, or anyone else like
that.
And I think that about covers everything in this part
of the story. I hope you like it.

Oh, and one last thing. This is a songfic and my first
ever piece of Buffy Fiction so please be gentle in
your words. This has also not been beta read or
anything else for that matter. I'm sorry for any and
all errors.

Now on with the show.

Wishful Thinking

Disclaimers: Buffy, Willow, and Cordelia do not belong
to me in any way, shape, or form (but I wouldn?t mind
if they did). All characters from BTVS, including
those not mentioned above, belong to King Joss and
Mutan Enemy. I'm simply taking them out for a stroll.
I ain't making any money off anyone or anything.
Music: 'I Knew I Loved You' is also not mine. It comes
from the album 'Affirmation' by Savage Garden. When I
heard it everything else just kind fell into place.
Setting up the scene: This is Buffy's first day of
school at Sunnydale and she's already met the woman of
her dreams.
Love/Sex Warning: Sex does not exsist in my life so
there was no way it could make it into this story (so
sorry). But, Buffy is not shy in expressing her
feelings for a certain red head.
Rating: PG I doubt it would even come close to a PG-13

Wishful Thinking
Part 1 - So tell me, is she cute?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

First period, Chemistry...


- Maybe it?s intuition
But some things you just don?t question -

"Hello!"

"Hi."

"I?m Buffy."

"OK."

"Well, you see, I, ugh..."

"Yes?"

"WellI'mnewhereandjustwantedtoknowifitwasokformetosithere,"
Buffy explained in a rushed breath.

All the red head could do was smile at her, "Slow down
there. Just breath okay."

Relief filled Buffy as the red head graced her with a
smile and eyes that convey so much love.

- Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant -

"Now, from what I could make out, you want to sit
here?" she asked indicatin to the seat next to her
own.

"Ugh, yeah."

"Sure then, have a seat."

"Wha...what?"

"I said have a seat, partner."

"Re...really?" questioned Buffy. In all honesty she
had not expected such a young lady to actually let her
get that close.

"Yes. I said yes okay. Come on. Are you any good in
chemistry?"

"I, well, maybe, I..."

"Kidding. I?m just kidding. Have a seat."

"Yeah. Kidding. "Ok, yeah."

Smiling the red head extended her hand out to the new
girl, "By the way, I?m Willow. Welcome to Sunnydale."

- And there it goes
I think I?ve found my best friend -

"Thanks," she answered taking Willow's hand into her
own. And with a dreamy look and lopsided grin Buffy
continued, "I'm loving it already."

- I know that it might sound more than a little crazy 
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life -


Third period, right before lunch...


"Cordy. Hey Cordy."

"Yes Buffy."

"You won?t believe the morning I?ve had?"

"Really? How wonderful. Is that it?"

"Cordy!"

"Ok, ok, I?m kidding. So tell me, what have you been
up to, love?"

"Cordy!"

"All right, serious now. Tell me about your first day
so far."

"Well, I met this wonderful person this morning.
Cordy, I think this could be 'the one.' I don't know
what it was but I just felt this...it just felt good,
you know. It just felt so right."

- There?s just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion -

"And do you have the wedding invites ready yet?"

"Cordy!"

"Ok, I?m sorry. I?m happy for you. You're a wonderful
person too Buffy, I know you can make something
happen."

"Thanks Cordy."

"So tell me, is she cute? I mean, she?s a girl right?"

"Yes and yes Cordy. My God, you should?ve seen her. In
all my life I have never seen anyonw come close to
being as beautiful as her."

"Hey!"

"You know what I mean Cordy."

"Yeah. So anyway, continue."

"It was like I had died and gone to heaven."

"Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. Come on now, how many times have
we talked about that whole dying in public issue?"

"Cordy! I?m serious. She had this silky, shoulder
length, hair like fire. Her smile, my God, you
should've seen her smile Cordy. It was so bright I
felt like I was staring into the sun. And her body, oh
man. From what I did manage to see there was not a
single ounce of fat on her, she was all muscle. But it
wan't all bulky, she was just very defined."

"Really...?"

"Yeah. But you should?ve seen her eyes. When I looked
at her, in her eyes I saw so much love. It felt like I
was drowning in this massive sea of love. They were so
deep Cordy. As I smiled at her it was like I could
almost see into her very soul."

"Yup, she caught you," Cordelia said smiling.

- And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I?m searching for
I think I?ve found my best friend -

"Yeah, I?m caught hook, line, and sinker."

"So is that all?"

"Well..."

"Yes..."

"Nah, forget it."

"No way! Come on now, finish what you started."

"Well, what happened was..."

"Yes..."

"Cordy!"

"Just spill it."

"Ok. You see, this morning I was on my way to class.
Then I saw her in the hall. All it took was one look
and I was hooked. But I was to afraid to say anything
so I just followed a little behind her. I figured my
class was in that direction anyway."

"I am so sure, 'oh look, a beautiful woman! I bet
she?s in my class, I better follow her,' is that how
it was Buffy?"

"Cordy, I have Chemistry with her."

"No way!"

"Yup, I?m even her lab partner."

"You?re sitting next to her?"

"Yeah."

"I cannot believe you got the guts to ask."

"Well, I almost didn?t."

Ding!! Ding!! Ding!!

- I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe -

"Great the bell. Come on , let?s go. I?ll tell you all
about it at lunch."

"Wait a minute Buffy. I just have to ask."

"Sure Cordy, fire away."

"Was it at least cute?"

"What?!"

"Her butt, you know. Did she at least have a cute
butt?"

"Cordy!"

"Come on, you can?t tell me you followed her all the
way to class without at least looking once."

"Cordy!"

"Ok then. I'll take that response as a 'yes' and
'yes'," Cordelia said smiling as they continued down
the hall.

"So, now tell me about your time in Human Chemistry
this morning."

"Cordelia!"

- I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life

I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I?ve found you -

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

post it by part just in case it sucked. So, should I
