She was tailing a large, brownish demon when it went into a small bar. Thinking the demon would stand out, she followed it into the club. She wasn't gonna let that demon get away, not after it had evaded her for two days.

Entering the club, she was shocked to see dozens of demons loitering around. Even more surprising the few humans in the club weren't shocked by the multi-colored demons. losing sight of the demon she was after, she thought a drink might help her horrible week.

"Hello, sweetheart, what can I get you?" a rather flamboyant, green demon asked her from behind the counter.

"Just a coke and whiskey, please."

"Sure thing." he left to get her drink. When he came back he asked, "You're new here, aren't you?"

"Kinda." she started. She was cut off by the lousy karaoke of a small orange demon.

"What is this?" she asked the green bartender.

"Only the hottest demon karaoke bar in L.A. I'm proud to say I run it. My name's Lorne, by the way." He stopped talking for a minuet, looking her over. She was petit, dark-haired, and looked rather heartbroken, in his opinion. "So what's your name?"

"I'm… Anne."

"So, Anne, any reason you're walking through the toughest part of L.A.?"

"Not really."

"Maybe you should partake in the club's main attraction."

"You mean sing?"

"Yeah."

"Why the hell not, nothing better to do. Got a list of songs to pick form?"

"Yeah, here."

"Thanks." After selecting a song, she approached the stage, her entire body tingling from all the demons around.

Picking up the microphone, she began to sing.

She's gone away
Still they stay together
People call me crazy, crazy
But thus progress
Think it up forever
My mind tells me maybe, maybe
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
Wouldn'ta known ya
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello
Don't say goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
PS, I love you
Forever and today
Two weeks go by
It's like it's been the weather
The rain falls down
She's cryin', cryin'
But thoughts progress
She thinks about forever
Their hearts are bound
Lyin', lyin'
I wish I could drive away
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
Wouldn'ta known ya
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello
I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
PS, I love you
Forever and today
All the heartache and the pain
All the words you've said in vain
It'll never be the same
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
Wouldn'ta known ya
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello
I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
PS, I love you
Forever and today
Forever and today
Forever and today
PS, I love you
Forever and to

While she had been singing, Lorne took the opportunity to read her. Her reading was difficult, as she was very guarded. His original assumption that she was heartbroken had been right, but what confused him was her thoughts of a boyfriend who loved her, yet she apparently didn't love. He could sense that her heart belonged to someone else.

When she returned to the bar Lorne asked her, "Are you busy at home?"

"Not really, why?"

"I was wondering if you'd stay as our singer for a while?"

"look I'll have to think this over. There are some people here in L.A. that wouldn't be to thrilled with my being here."

As he walked into the bar, he saw a tiny girl with short, choppy black hair singing on the stage. She's pretty good, he thought to himself. Ordering a scotch from Lorne, he sat at the bar and listen to her sing. He couldn't see her very well because of the large, orange demon in front of him.

"Forever and today
All the heartache and the pain
All the words you've said in vain
It'll never be the same
I wish I could drive away to the sunset
Back to the day that we first met
Only believe the things I wrote
Wouldn'ta known ya
Cross my t's and dot my i's
Better say hello
I'm gonna wave goodbye
I'll write sincerely yours and sign my name
PS, I love you
Forever and today
Forever and today
Forever and today
PS, I love you
Forever and today"

He watched her slip off the stage quickly, almost like she didn't like the attention. She sat down at the bar, resuming her drink. He heard Lorne offer her a job. He listened for her response and was shocked to hear her say, "Look I'll have to think this over. There are some people here in L.A. that wouldn't be to thrilled with my being here."

Maybe he could help her, that's what he did right helped people? He turned to give her his card but she was gone.

"She was sad, no I'd say more on the edge of depressed." Lorne said to Angel, after Angel asked about the girl that just ran out of the bar.

"What was her name?"

"I think she said Anne, but she hesitated, so I don't think it's her real name."

"Do you think she'll be back?"

"I hope so, her reading was kinda wacky."

"What do you mean?"

"She's torn up inside, more than depressed, its like her soul was torn in two. I think she's got some power behind her, though."

"Why?"

"I couldn't get a full reading, in fact all I got was that she's got a boyfriend, and that she seems to be trying to work something out."

"Oh, maybe I should see if she gets home safely?"

"I think she needs space, not protection. Besides, you dyed your hair!" Lorne seemed very pleased with the change in hair color.

"Cordy did it, she thought the purple would be a pleasant change, and I haven't figured out how to change it back."

"It doesn't do much for the bruises, though."

"I don't think anyone can recognize me, Gunn almost staked me."

"Tough luck, but I like the purple."
