Snippet: Feeling Musical.

[buffythebushkangaroo@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Um. Oh yes. Quin says I have to say *spoiler warning*. So here's one.













Buffy: Within the darkest shadows, in the blackest night, still I 
fight, but there has got to be... Something better for me to hope 
for, something better for me to fight for... Is there a light at the 
bottom of my heart's abyss?
Willow: Why do you fight? Why do you keep resisting?
Buffy: It isn't right, that's what my mind's insisting! Every night I 
go and slay, help keep the demons of the dark at bay; but every night 
I hope and pray...
Giles: For a light...
Buffy: At the bottom of my heart's abyss!
Giles: For a light...
Buffy: Another moment of Heaven's bliss!
Giles: For a light... A candle light... A candle to light your 
heart's abyss.
Buffy: But there is only darkness...
Willow: (sotto voce) Oh Buffy...
Buffy: I feel only tiredness...
Willow: (sotto voce) Please Buffy...
Buffy: Nothing but a moment's weakness in my soul.
Willow: Oh Buffy, you know I'm sorry...
Buffy: So cold! The fire doesn't burn my skin. Alive! Although I 
still feel dead within. I'm alive in Hell, and everything is so hard 
here. Yet I will never tell, how much I hate just being here... But 
how much longer must I pay the price? I'm pretty sure that I've died 
at least twice...
Willow: Oh Buffy! How could I have known? I thought your soul 
languished... so far away from home...
Xander: How could any of us have known?
Giles: I warned you; playing God with Nature's plans means only pain 
by your own hands... But here's the truth, you young upstart! 
Nature's not just about the heart, its balance is a rule you can't 
easily break...
Willow: I'm sorry! It was just a small mistake...
Giles: It'll take far more than a recalcitrant stare, to make amends 
for the spell you dared impose, I don't suppose... No, I'm sure you 
wouldn't know...
Buffy: I don't care, I have to go... patrol the night and slay and 
fight and hope that when daylight calls... I'll have found something 
worth fighting for! A knock upon my heart's door... A candle to light 
my way, a candle to keep the night at bay... a moment of happiness... 
A light within my heart's abyss.

Willow: I can make her forget all the pain she's ever known. I am in 
her debt, what better way to show I care?
Tara: What is this stupid plan you dare? You'll tear us all apart! 
Didn't you hear the words that Giles imparted?
Willow: Stay out of my way! Your words are anathema to my ears! You 
doubt my power, pout and glower, and hide behind your fears! And hope 
that I'll be moved by your whiny tears...
Tara: I guess I'd better go... If only you could know...
Willow: Let me guess, you think you love me? Play with my breasts and 
you claim to own me? Yes, you'd better go... You can take the rat and 
leave my sight!
Tara: Willow, please, I don't want to fight...
Willow: Well, if you will not go... You can stay and be a miserable 
cow.
Tara: No...! Moo...
