Spike walks through the graveyard, seemingly unafraid.
"I am a man who walks alone. And when I'm walking a dark road, at 
night, or strolling through the park..."
He sees a courting couple making out on a park bench. They continue 
sucking face despite the singing guy with the bleached hair 
approaching.
"When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange; 
A little anxious when it's dark."
Spike's face becomes a vampiric mask and he tears off the guy's 
head. 
The girlfriend screams for about half a second, then 
sopranos, "Fear of the dark, fear of the dark! I have constant fear 
that something's always near!"
Spike poses. The collective audience yawns.
"Fear of the dark, fear of the dark! I have a phobia that someone's 
always there."
Spike stops posing and eats the girl already.

Buffy approaches Spike. She doesn't notice that he's filling in two 
graves. But then, considering the current season-arc, she doesn't 
notice much of anything. In the background, Willow and Xander watch 
the two from behind a bush.
Willow sings, "She fell in love with his greasy machine."
"She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean," Xander mutters morosely.
"But she'd never seen the beast before!"
"She left there wanting more, more, more!" Xander adds, fuming.
Willow stares at Xander for a moment with a disgusted look on her 
face. Then she notices that Spuffy are making out on a grave. "Ew! 
She must be having one of her crazy dreams!"
Xander shakes his head. "She's never sat on a piece so mean!"
"It makes her feel like's she's on cloud nine?" Willow rolls up her 
sleeve. "Fine! If I can pull her out of heaven once, I can do it 
again!"


*

Willow in tears.
"I'd been the tempting one. Stole her from herself! This gift in 
pain; Her pain was life, and sometimes I feel so sorry..."
Xander, listening. 
"She was boinking Spike."
"Oh yeah." Willow cheered up.

*

Buffy heads back home. Alone. Achingly alone. "At the end of each 
day I promise myself I'd better start to live. sooner or later I'll 
find out; there's so much I can give! I can't be seen, I can't be 
heard, but I am here and I am wondering..."
She raises her head to the skies, staring up at the Powers. Not 
realising that currently her muse is Cordelia, and that she's *so* 
bored right now...
"Will the sun rise tomorrow? will it light up my sky? can I wake up 
with no sorrow awaiting?" Buffy pleads. "Will the sun rise tomorrow, 
will I still see the dawn?" Buffy's pace quickens. "And not worry 
about the future anymore?"
She hopes Dawn's okay. 'Cos, well, every time she pops out for five 
minutes, evil trashes the house.


*

Meanwhile, over at the hellmouth, where Spike is torturing, um, 
Spike...
"The power of what has been before rises to trap you within!" His 
evil doppelganger giggles.
"A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more; A city of heavenly sin!" 
Real Spike answers, having lost it a few episodes ago. The big bad 
morphs into Buffy, 'cos, well, teasing Spike is funny.
"Sleep with the devil and then you must pay! Sleep with the devil; 
the devil will take you away!"

*

Buffy, alone in her room. Tears for lost Spikey-diddums roll down 
her cheeks. A million fans feel no sympathy.
"Just a babe in a black abyss; No reason for a place like this. The 
walls are cold, and souls cry out in pain."
Willow peers around the door. Buffy sees her and pulls her into the 
room, and a clingy hug.
This goes on for a few moments before Willow siezes the opportunity.
Buffy raises an eyebrow at the camera.
"She came to me with a serpent's kiss, as the eye of the sun rose on 
her lips; Moonlight catches silver tears I cry! So we lie in the 
black embrace as the seed is sown in a holy place! And I watched, and 
I waited, for the Dawn."
Willow shakes her head. "She's staying with Xander tonight. Its 
just us. Now screw me, bitch!"
Buffy nods. "Trust I seek and I find in you. Every day, for us, 
something new. An open mind for a different view... And nothing else 
matters."
"Yep," Willow agrees, grabbing the toybox from under the 
bed. "Nothing else matters."

*

"I never was a violent man," said Spike in the basement with his 
head in his hands, trying his best to understand the cause of his 
dismay.
Years of sin have broken him, and have left him cold, and dead, and 
thin. Too late now to turn around and find a better way.

*

Scream at nights, but you won't be heard; It's deep inside.
Willow and Buffy, alone, in the dark; Not unhappy. Willow is 
wearing the red PVC body-suit Tara bought her for Christmas last year.
"The pain within your head; You cry for help... The torture won't 
let you go! Your mind is aching, and you can't go on..."
Buffy, muffled, "I don't want you to stop!"
