Part Two- Episode: Prophecy Girl- When There’s a Will
Her Story- Desperate Times
I died. I don’t think I’ll ever get over that, I mean how can I? The prom was great
though, Angel came with us and we danced, there were some low points though.
***********Flashback***************************************
As soon as we got there, well after we girls got fixed up, Xander asked me to dance.
I had to say yes, I mean he had just saved my life, luckily it was a fast dance.
After we were finished a slow song came on, Jewel’s ‘Foolish Games’, and I pulled
Angel on to the dance floor, melting in his arms.
Lyrics: You took you coat off and stood in the rain/ You were always crazy like that/
I watched from my window/ Always felt I was inside looking in on you/
Me: “Thank you.”
Angel: “For what? Xander’s the one who saved your life.”
Lyrics: You were always the mysterious one/ With Dark eyes and careless hair/ You
were fashionably sensitive, but too cool to care/ Then you stood in my doorway, with
nothing to say/ besides some comment on the weather/
How appropriate that song was, it could’ve be written for us.
Me: (whispering) “Yes, but he would never have gotten there if it wasn’t for you.
Besides I know you would’ve saved me if you had breath.”
Angel: (leaning down to kiss me) “You’re right.” He was just about to kiss me when
Cordelia cut in. I could’ve killed her.
Cordelia: (with a 100% false smile) “May I cut in?”
Lyrics: Well in case you failed to notice/ In case you failed to see/ This is my
heart bleeding before you/ This is me down on my knees/ These foolish games are tearing
me apart/ Your thoughtless words are breaking my heart/ you’re breaking my heart/
Angel and I looked at each other, neither one of us wanted that. But we had to be
polite so I said “sure” and went to sit down. She had him for three dances before
he managed to escape and come back to me. I led him back on to the dance floor by
this time it was Savage Gardens ‘Truly, Madly, Deeply’ that was playing. He held
me close to him, not as close as I wanted to be, but much closer than he had held
Cordelia.
Lyrics: I’ll be your dream/ I’ll be your wish/ I’ll be your fantasy/ I’ll be your
hope/ I’ll be your love/ Be everything you need/ I’ll you more with every breath/
Truly, madly, deeply do/ I will be strong/ I will be faithful/ because I’m counting
on/ A new beginning/ A reason for living/ A deeper meaning/
For awhile we just swayed in silence until finally I spoke up.
Me: “I like this.”
Angel: (smiling) “What do you like?” He knew very well what I liked.
Me: “You holding me in your arms.” Why lie? He knew the truth anyway.
Angel didn’t reply he just leaned in and kissed me.
Lyrics: I want to stand with you on a mountain/ I want to bathe with you in the sea/
I want to lay like this forever/ Until the sky falls down on me/ and when the stars
are shining/ brightly in the velvet sky/ I’ll make a wish and send it to heaven/
Then make you want to cry/ The tears of joy for all the pleasures in the certainty/
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest powers/ In lonely
hours/ The tears devour you/
We finally pulled away, only because he remembered I had to breathe. Being held in
his arms made me feel so alive, and I wished that kiss could’ve gone on forever.
Lyrics: I want to stand with you on a mountain/ I want bathe with you in the sea/
I want to lay like this forever/ Until the sky falls down on me/
I don’t remember anything that happened from that moment until the end of the dance.
I was just too happy being in his arms. After he walked me home he looked at me and
said goodbye as I was leaving for L.A in the morning.
Angel: “You leaving tomorrow?”
Me: “Yeah.”
Angel: “When will you back?”
Me: “September. The day before school starts again.”
Angel: “Oh. I’ll miss you.”
Me: “I’ll miss you too.”
He leaned and kissed me again, only this time it was a simple kiss, a goodbye kiss.
He was the first to speak after we pulled apart.
Angel: “I guess this is goodbye.”
Me: “Yeah.”
Angel: “I guess I’ll see you in September.”
Me: “Yeah.”
He whispered “Goodbye” before leaving. Mom was asleep when I went in, but in the
morning I told her she was right about the dance. I was glad I went.
*************End Flashback**********************************
At this moment I’m on my way to L.A and he’s all I can think about, Two months is
a long time. I hope he doesn’t forget me, but I know I won’t forget him. How can
I?
His Story- Refusing to Accept the Truth
When Giles told me the prophecy I felt like I was dying inside, because I knew I
would die without her. See even though I knew I couldn’t be with her it was enough
to know she was alive. I felt my non-existent heart dying as I held her dead body
in my arms, luckily that kid Xander was there. I was so jealous that HE was the one
that saved her, yet later at the dance she thanked me. The dance was okay, except
I fell into the arms of that girl, Cordelia. I loved dancing with Buffy though, I
loved having her in my arms, and I think she felt the same. I’m really going to miss
her, two months is a long time. What if she meets someone else, someone human? I’ll
be sad, and jealous, but I’ll be happy for her, because I love her.
