SongFIC Challenge

[Phoen Dusk <Dusk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, since everyone else out there seems to be suggesting a song for someone
else to turn into a fic, here's my contribution. The song is called "Never Be
The Same Again" from Melanie Chisholm's solo debut (yes, THAT Mel C) Northern
Star. The piece is a collaboration between Mel and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of
TLC. Their alternating parts will be denoted.

I call you up whenever things go wrong
You're always there, you are my shoulder to cry on
I can't believe it took me quite so long
To take the forbidden step
Is this something that I might regret?
(Come on, come on)
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
(You are the one)
A lonely heart that can't be tamed
(Come on, come on)
I'm hoping that you feel the same
This is something that I can't forget

I thought that we would just be friends
Things will never be the same again
It's just the beginning it's not the end
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
Never be the same again

Now I know that we were close before
I'm glad I realised I need you so much more
And I don't care what everyone will say
It's about you and me
And we'll never be the same again

I thought that we would just be friends
(Oh yeah)
Things will never be the same again
(Never be the same again)
It's just the beginning it's not the end
(We've only just begun)
Things will never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
Now we've opened up the door
(Opened up the door)
Starting tonight and from now on
We'll never, never be the same again
Never be the same again

[Lisa]
Nite and day
Black beach sand to red clay
The US to UK, NYC to LA
>From sidewalks to highways
See it'll never be the same
What I'm sayin
My mind frame never changed
'Til you came, rearranged
But sometimes it seems completely forbidden
To discover those feelings that we kept so well hidden
When there's no competition
And you render my condition
Though improbable it's not impossible
For a love that could be unstoppable
But wait
A fine line's between fate and destiny
Do you believe in the things that were just meant to be?
When you tell me the stories of your quest for me
Picturesque is the picture you paint effortlessly
And as our energies mix and begin to multiply
Everyday situations, they start to simplify
So things will never be the same between you and I
We've intertwined our life forces and now we're unified

Things will never be the same again
(You are the one)
Never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
We'll never be the same again
It's not a secret anymore
We'll never be the same again
Never be the same again
Never be the same again
Never be the same again
Never be the same again

Now, I could be wrong, but doesn't this just scream 'subtext' to anyone else?
Pairings are up to the interpreter, but I would like to see someone try and fit
it to a BWT sandwich, with Willow playing it for the other two because she can't
choose. :) But, that's just my sick, perverted mind at work.

Yes, I'm working on Intervention and Soul Mating... I'll have one ready by Labor
Day weekend (probably Intervention Ch V). Oh, and would someone be kind enough
to send me an e-mail *thwap* for somehow either not receiving or replying to
Gary Thompson and putting Intervention on the ballot for Best Willow
Characterization? I need a few more shots to the back of the head yet, but my
arm is a little too sore.
