Paring: B/G as if I write any thing else! (You do! does not! Does too! Does not!
Does too! Okay okay but they don’t know about that story! :P)
Rating: PG I think…
Disclaimer: The Turtles owns the song I think… Joss Whedon and his bunch own
the BTVS universe all I’ve got is a dysfunctional brain.
Summary: Intern memo, council of Watchers: the last Slayer and her Watcher were
found strangled with a microphone cord but they both had the same silly happy grin on their faces...
Feedback: is always welcome, flames will be used to light the candles.
Dedication: To Savage Happy B-day girl! I’m afraid it got a little longer than 7 lines
I hope you don’t mind. ;)
Thanks: to EW for letting me borrow this idea and I know others have used it in
the past but it was she that talked about it a few days ago which lead me to write this.
And many thanks to Lis for betaing so I would appear less English handicapped
* * Indicates song lyrics.
“Tell me again why we are here.”
“You lost a bet.”
“Ah yes, must remember never to do that again.”
“Aww come on! It’s not that bad, besides Will told me you’ve got a great voice.”
“I’m flattered but a karaoke bar?? Couldn’t I have sung for you back at my flat?”
“No! What fun would that be?”
“Can I at least choose the song myself?”
“Nope, it doesn’t work that way here, the toast master chooses the song and picks a
number from the hat. What’s your number?”
“Ah 33.”
“Then it’s you next time.”
“Number 33 is next man on stage, please welcome Mister Ruuuuuupert Giiiiles!!!”
“Good luck!”
“And here’s your song: Happy Together.”
Giles cleared his throat and thanked the Powers that he actually knew this song. Then he
focused on the screen projecting the lyrics. He began softly:
* Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you'd say you belong to me, I'd lose my mind
Imagine how the world could be so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my life *
He finally got the courage and looked at his Slayer. She had moved to a table closer
to the stage and was watching him with a content expression. Just then their eyes met
and what he saw in her eyes almost took his breath away - pride, encouragement and
love. Even though he knew the lyrics by heart he almost missed a few words. Suddenly
the song wasn’t just a song anymore.
* Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies will be blue
For all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
As the song got closer to the end and his courage grew he began to focus on her.
* Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together *
As the music faded all Giles’ attention was directed at the woman he loved, letting her
know the lyrics were the words of his heart, what he wanted for them.
* So happy together
So happy together
So happy together
So happy together
So happy together *
He finished the song with a slight bow and stepped off the stage to the sound of
the applause. When he reached the table where Buffy was seated he grabbed her
hand and pulled her up to him hoping he had read her right. He bent his head and
captured her lips with his, loosening his grip to give her an opening if he had made
a mistake. He was pleased beyond measure when he felt her responding with a
passion he had only dreamed about.
He broke the kiss when the need for air was too strong to resist without fainting.
“Buffy luv, I ah I think we should take this to more private surroundings uhm like
my flat perhaps.”
Too breathless to make a verbal response, Buffy nodded and took his hand.
The crowd watched them leave, Happy and Together.
The end, finish, slut, se terminó, Ende, Schluss, final!!!!! T-t-t-that’s all Folks!!
