Buffy could feel that this night was going to be worst than the other ones. She felt better over the weeks. She felt like she deserved another chance. She was proud of herself. She brushed her short blond locks and put a small clip on the side and put on some lip-gloss. She was going on date. Her first date since she died. She smiled and she knew she looked hot. Her black tube top and her favorite pain of leather pants and her leather duster. The same leather duster her lover wore before he died. She looked at her self once more and headed out. She looked in Dawns room and saw she was reading. She headed towards Willow's to tell her she was out of here. She saw willow studying.

"Willow, I have to go meet Todd, I will be back around 11:00." Said Buffy.



Willow looked up and nodded and continued reading and highlighting. Buffy sighed and headed down the stairs. The leather duster swinging in the back of her. She headed out towards the 1950 desoto. She got in and started the car and turned on the radio. The song Tainted Love came on. She smiled and started to sing long.

Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away

I've got to Get away

From the pain that you drive into the heart of me

The love we share

Seems to go nowhere

I've lost my lights I toss and turn I can't sleep at night







She started to tap on the steering wheel and sang more.

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you

This tainted love you've given

I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love

Tainted love

Now I know I've got to Run away

I've got to Get away

You don't really want any more from me

To make things right

You need someone to hold you tight

You think love is to pray

But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you

This tainted love you've given

I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love

Tainted love

Don't touch me please

I cannot stand the way you tease

I love you though you hurt me so

Now I'm going to pack my things and go

Touch me baby, tainted love Touch me baby, tainted love

Touch me baby, tainted love

Once I ran to you (I ran)

Now I'll run from you

This tainted love you've given

I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Tainted love

Tainted love

Tainted love

She smiled and she reached the Bronze and parked the car in a parking spot near the entrance. She knew that this Todd person would already be here. She glanced around and dashed towards the entrance. The leather duster following behind her. She walked in and the music was flowing loud and wide. She sees Todd by the bar and caught his eye and smiled. She walked over to him and sat down near him. The Bartender looked at Buffy and she answered with " whiskey". Todd nodded towards the dance floor. She smiled and set her drink down and walked towards the dance floor. Todd began to move while he walked. He smiled at her and started to dance to the music.



Voices, a thousand, thousand voices

Whispering, the time has passed for choices

Golden days are passing over, yeah

Buffy raised her hands up in the air and began to dance to the music.

I can't seem to see you baby

Although my eyes are open wide

But I know I'll see you once more

When I see you, I'll see you on the other side

Yes, I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side



Todd watches her move around. The leather duster moving along with her. She was so beautiful. Todd brushed his hand on her arm and tried to move closer to her. She pushed him away and continued to dance more. She looked up at him and smiled.

Leaving, I hate to see you cry

Grieving, I hate to say goodbye

Dust and ash forever, yeah

A man in the shadows watched her really carefully. He smiled and became more involved in watching her. He stepped into the light and watched her.

Though I know we must be parted

As sure as stars are in the sky

I'm gonna see when it comes to glory

And I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Yes I'll see you, I'll see you on the other side

Never thought I'd feel like this

Strange to be alone, yeah

But we'll be together

Carved in stone, carved in stone, carved in stone

Hold me, hold me tight, I'm falling

Far away. Distant voices calling

I'm so cold. I need you darling, yeah

I was down, but now I'm flying

Straight across the great divide

I know you're crying, but I'll stop you crying

When I see you, I see you on the other side

Yes. I'll see you. See you on the other side

I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side

God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah





I'll see you. See you on the other side

I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side

God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah

I wanna see you, yeah, yeah, yeah, see you on the other side

God knows I'll see you, see you on the other side, yeah

I'm gonna see you. See you on the other side



The music stopped and a band walked on the stage. The lead singer looked around in the crowed and yelled out "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!" Then the band started to play. Buffy looked at Todd and yelled, " Wanna go sit down" Todd nodded and followed Buffy.

Buffy sat down near her drink and orders another one. She smiled and a strain of her hair behind her ear.

"So what do you like to do for fun?" Asked Buffy looking at Todd.

"I love to sing… I always come to the Bronze when its open mic. What about you?" asked Todd taking a sip of his Beer.

" Working out, hanging with my friends, you know that kind of stuff." said Buffy looking at the band who was finishing off playing. Buffy listened to the leader of the band talk.

" Ok.. This is something new that my band is doing here tonight.. I was wondering if someone would like to sing." Said the singer. She looked around and saw that Buffy who kind of stand out was looking at her." Hey you with the leather jacket.. How about you sing a song?" as she pointed towards Buffy.

Buffy pointed to herself and shrugged her shoulders. She got up off of the stool and headed towards the stage. She walked on the steps and headed towards the singer. Buffy whispered to the singer and bends her head down. She sighed and then the band began to play. Her voice carried throughout the Bronze. She looked around and saw someone in the shadows watching her. Her sweet voice poured out.

Time goes slowly now in my life

Fear no more of what I'm not sure

Searching to feel your sole

The strength to stand alone

the power of not knowing and letting go

I guess I've found my way it's simple when its right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

and happy just be me and be alive.

She glanced in the shadows at the figure. Knowing it was someone following her or watching her she moved in to the microphone more and let her voice carry more. She sang with all her heart.



Love, in and out, a mile in my heart,

And though life can be strange I can't be afraid

Searching to feel your sole, the strength to stand alone,

The power of not knowing and letting go

I guess I've found my way it's simple when it's right

Feeling lucky just to be here tonight

and happy just to be me and be alive

I guess I've found my way it's simple

when its right feeling lucky just to be here tonight and

happy just to be me and be alive.



She closed her eyes and she heard the crowed clapping and cheering. She felt alive. She brought her head up and smiled and waved her hands in the air. She whistled and ran down the stairs and headed towards Todd. She gave him a hug and sat down in the stool. She brought her drink up to her mouth and saw who was in the shadows watching her all through the night. She let go of her drink and it crashed to the floor. She sat there with her eyes opened and her mouth wide open.
