| She had survived the Master and the summer Although actually LA was kind of a bummer. She had shopped and partied and done "the scene" 'Cause When She Was Bad, she felt unclean And that was better then being good And still feeling bad for reasons not understood. (Her soul was fragile, in pieces I fear: Perhaps Some Assembly Required here...) Yet she came back, quickly to declare "School: Hard! Slaying duties to bear! "Why can't things be easy for me? "I want to be normal, I want to be free. "On a field trip, an Inca Mummy Girl to see "But no, its cursed and we have to flee." "My date with a frat guy went all sucky, "Ol' Reptile Boy turned out to be yukky. "On Halloween, Ethan told a Lie To Me "And I was not who I was supposed to be." Giles shakes his head, no words to say Teenage years, even with no demons to slay Were The Dark Ages of many a life Filled with horror, filled with strife. He shrugs and asks, "what should I do? "What's My Line? One or Two "Kind words will not be enough "For a young girl, who has it so tough." "Perhaps you need a new Teddy bear to hold "To replace your pig, so battered and old "Or come to my place for a nice quiet meal "My cooking's not Bad, Eggs Benedict a deal..." She looks up at him, no Surprise in her eyes. For the Innocence of their relationship always belies The intensity of their feelings for one another Definitely not those of daughter and father! Although its been through so many Phases Their bond always delights and amazes And gives them both strength when they are low And Giles finally says, "I think you should know, "I am Bewitched, Bewildered and Bothered by you "My Passions are high, what can I do? "I can't sleep at night: its one dream or another "You are Killed by Death or, um, well, oh bother! "Its a dream just a little bit kinky and fun "If I tell you about it, please don't run. "I have a fantasy which I hope will come true "Oh Buffy, I Only Have Eyes For You!" "Tell me, Giles," Buffy pleads "I'd do anything my Watcher needs." Giles moves closer and sniffs her hair Touching her cheek, he begins to dare: "To live my dream, I want you to Go, "Fishnet stockings rolled down low, "Black high heels, whip cream in hand...." Giles pauses, "Do you understand?" "Oh yes," Buffy whispers leaning near This was Giles, she had no fear. If stockings and heels would delight She'd wear them happily throughout the night. Their lips touch; souls Becoming One, Two forever united, now it was done. Yes, a magical moment, long desired Then Snyder yelled, "Giles, you're fired!! "I don't care what they do over there "This is America and you have to pretend to care "About the children that infest these halls "Now stay awake, I need to make some calls." And Giles awoke with a shudder and a sigh Another dream of a chance gone by. His Buffy was gone: she'd run far away So another search, he'd begin today.... |
