[unspokenwords]

Warning: Spoilers for Season 5
Notes: Yes...I actually did this....and I'm making a whole series after this one...with Tabula Rasa.....stuff etc....
Summary: A rewrite of the Buffy Musical....but for Angel...and well....you'll see.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open in Angel's bigass bedroom, he opens his eyes and stares at the ceiling as the camera zooms into his face.

Overture

The overture music is a medley of the musical themes from the rest of the episode. As it plays, we see the following action:

Begins with Gunn striding through the office, stopping by the front desk glaring and saying something to Harmony. He walks past towards Angel's office, pausing to smile and shake hands with another man in a suit.

Pan to the Lab, with Fred and Knox frowning over something, and then Fred walking away with a file in her hand the camera following her.

Pan back to Angel's bedroom as he gets out of bed and rubs his hands over his face.

Cut to Wolfram and Hart main entrance.... Overture music continues.

Pan to Opening elevator and Angel standing in it looking out for a moment then striding in, stopping by the Harmony's desk and receiving his mug of blood and a black file.

Pan to the Angel's office, and him sitting in his chair looking bored as Westley and some other suited folks are standing in front of him gesturing and speaking quickly....seems like an argument but you don't hear the argument.

Gunn comes into his line of sight, and points to something on his desk as Angel throws up his hands and walks out of his office, yelling something at Harmony and entering an Elevator.

End Overture.

Cut to nighttime LA, Angel is walking along with his hands in his pockets with broody expression on his face. Then all of a sudden he starts to sing.

Song: "Alive"

Angel: (verse one)
Every single day, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.

A vampire pops out from around a corner and snarls at him in gameface, he side steps the vamp's advance.

Angel:
I've been making shows of [he blocks a swing and jams an elbow into the vamp's face] helping foes
Just hoping no one knows [ducks and low kicks the vamp's feet from under him slamming a stake into it's chest with a bored expression]
That I've been going through the motions
Walking through the part.

An ugly spikey demon attacks him from behind, and he blocks and in a quick movement throughs him against a wall watching him slide down the wall unconcious.

Angel: But nothing seems to touch my dried up walnut heart...

He keeps on walking, brooding and singing

Angel: (verse two)
I was always brave, the dark avenger
Now, CEO of Evil Inc.

We see 3 vampires attacking a a pretty young woman.
Angel:
Save the world, but still that Shanshu [punches 1st vamp and throws him head first into a wall]
Doesn't mean a thing [ducks a blow from 2nd vamp and side kicks him]
VAMP 1:
Please don't stake me? [Angel smirks and then there is a poof and the dusts settles as he pulls his hand back]

The 2nd vamp rushes Angel and knocks him down trying to get a punch to his face as Angel finally throws him off and lies there.

Angel: This should be embarrasing..

He continues laying there as the 2 vamps start to do a dance.

VAMPS :
He does pretty well, working for lawyers from hell
But lately we can tell [Angel gets up ]
That he's just going through the motions
Vamp2:
Going through the motions.

Angel pulls Vamp 2 off screen and there is sounds of a tussel then finally a whoosh sound of something being dusted.

VAMP 3: Faking it somehow. [The girl looking scared to death is suddenly jerked out of his grasp]
He's not even half the vamp he- [looks down at a stake protruding from his chest ] ow. [He fades to dust]

Angel dusts off his hands and re-pockets the stake starting to walk off.

Angel:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?

The girl follows him, and we can see she is quite the babe.

Hot Chick:
How can I repay-
Angel:
[turns around in game face and snarls]

She runs away screaming.
Angel: That's better..

Angel:
I don't want to keeep...
[Jumps up on a stack of crates]
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive.
Failing the good fight
If this is really me
And I just want to be-

[He does one of those freaky flying jumps and scales the side of a building reaching the top and standing there looking down on LA]

Angel: Aliiiiiive.

End of song "Alive." Wide aerial shot of Angel looking down on LA with his coat billowing behind him dramatically.

Cut to Wolfram and Hart Day, Angel enters the Office

Gunn: (O.S.) Hey Sup Angel?

We see Wes and Fred standing near the counter. Gunn walking down the stairs.

Wes: Hello Angel, how did it go with Nina?
Angel: (distracted) What? Oh, great...uh fine.

Angel walks farther into his office, followed by the gang. Spike is sitting sprawled out in the chair facing the desk.

Spike: Took your bloody time getting in this morning.

Angel just glares.

Harmony:O.S. Here's your blood bossy!

Harmony enters the room handing Angel his mug of blood. Smiling at Spike as he rolls his eyes and turns to face Angel who is now sitting at his desk.

Angel: So uh, no...cases or um....big bads to take care of..Nothing strange your departments are working on...uh..

Wes and Fred shake their heads "no," While Gunn pauses to think for a moment then shakes his head quickly.

Angel: Good! That's what I like to hear. (awkwardly) Uh, so, did anybody ... uh ... last night, you know, did anybody, um suddenly just start singing?

Gunn drops the file in his hand. Everyone stares at Angel for a moment.

Spike: Bloody Hell!

Everybody except for Spike gets up and flocks to the desk.Everyone talks at once.

Wes: We thought it was just us!
Gunn: Well, I sang but I was just chillin in my office..
Fred: It was crazy. We were talking and then it was like-
Angel: Like you were in a Musical?
Fred: Yeah!
Gunn: That would explain the strobe lights and all the fly honeys dancing around...
Wes: My whole department did a number about finding books.
Harmony: Lorne and I were arguing..then all of a sudden it all rhymed and there was this whole broadway thing going on.
Wes: There was an entire verse about the dust.
Spike: I thought I was going mad.

[The above is everyone talking at once.]

Gunn: (to Angel) What did you sing about?
Angel: (pauses) I don't remember. But i-it seemed perfectly normal.
Spike: If he sang, then this had got to stop. It's not natural. It's not soddin' healthy...
Gunn: We should look into this.
Wes: Yes, I could start research..
Fred: I can get my department on it, see if its some kind of...singing virus?
Spike: Well then you better get cracking, fix it before it happens again. Because I for one-

[Wes begins to sing, interrupting Spike.]

Song: "I've Got A Theory"
Wes:
I've got a theory
That it's a demon
A dancing demon!
No, something isn't right there.
Gunn:
I've got a theory
Some funky mess went down
And we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare. [Fred doing "jazz hands"]
Fred:
I've got a theory we should work this out.
Harmony/Fred/Wes/Gunn:
It's getting eerie, what's this cheery singing all about?
Gunn: [jumps up]
It could be vampires!
Some evil vampires! [sees Spike and Angel's expressions]
Which is crazy, 'cause vampire they are demons,
They drink blood and are evil crackpots...unless they're souled
and I'll be over here. [sits]
Harmony: I've got a theory! It could be astronauts!

Silence. The others just stare at her. Sound of crickets chirping.

Fred: I've got a-

Suddenly the tune changes to a frantic hard-rock beat with electric guitar and a roving spotlight that waves crazily over Harmony.

Harmony: (shrieking a la Alanis Morissette)
Astronauts aren't just special like everybody supposes!
They lie to chicks in bars and get drained right under their noses!
And what's with the bulky spacesuits?
What do they need so much room for anyway?
[playing air guitar]
Astronauts!
Astronauts!
It must be Astronauts!

Fireworks go off all around her, then the smoke clears away. The others continue simply staring.

Harmony: (back to original melody)
Or maybe Unicorns.
Wes: (quickly sits down near Angel's desk and opens a book)
I've got a theory we should work this fast.
Wes/Gunn:
Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.

Gunn gets up, starts to leave the room.

Angel: I've got a theory. It doesn't matter.

Gunn pauses, turns back. Everyone looks at Angel.

Angel:
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse?
We've all been there.
The same old trips
Why should we care?
ALL EXCEPT Spike and Wes:
What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute.

Angel looks at Wes throughout this. He watches him too and finally joins in.

ALL(minus spike, who is watching with a cocked eyebrow):
We'll work this through
We'll solve the case
It's here or hell
Angel:
Hey, I've been there.. .

Gunn smiles, comes back into the room.

ALL( Exept for Spike): What can't we face if we're together?
Wes: (descant) What can't we face...
ALL( minus Spike): What's in this place that we can't weather?
Wes: ...if we're together...
ALL: There's nothing we can't face.
Harmony: (sits) Except for Astronauts.

End of song "I've Got A Theory."

Spike: (smirks) Well I'll be buggered..
Fred: (sits) I thought it was neat
Angel: So what is it? What's causing it?
Wes: I thought it didn't matter.
Angel: Well, I'm not exactly waiting for impending doom but something is going on here, and I think we should find out what..
Harmony: Well, is it just us? I mean, is it only happening to us? (Angel turns away) 'Cause that would probably mean a spell or-

Angel goes to the office door, opens it.

Cut to the Lobby. A man (A client) stands in the lobby holding a thick file.

Man: (sings) They got ... my evil ass ... out!

We see a whole crowd of people standing in dance formation holding files. They do a synchronized dance, waving the files around.

CROWD: (sings) They got our evil asses out!

Angel turns back into the office, closes the door.

Angel: It's not just us.

( TBC)

[MakiLightAngel]

That's freakin' halarious! Awsome job!

[Puppet Princess]

Yeah, that is totally hilarious. I love it!

[Ayumi]

That is funny! I love it, it has to be the Astronauts.

[*Screw Destiny*]

I love it! Angel needed a musical episode! LOL. I would pay money to see that, I promise you.

[PrettyasaPictur]

That's bloody funny,i was laughing all the way through it. Good job!....That was well needed!

[*Screw Destiny*]

PLEASE finish this story! I'm super anxious for the next part! I just wanna hear who sings "Walk Through the Fire" and how it works into the story and all. And Tara's song! Who will sing Tara's song? FINISH IT!

[unspokenwords]

Cut to later. Lorne enters the office wearing a huge smile.

Lorne: Hey Kittens! You'll never guess what went down at the board meeting today.

Reveal the rest of the gang sitting around the table looking at books.

Angel: Everybody started singing and dancing?

Lorne looks disappointed.

Lorne: I got engaged to Johnny Depp.
Harmony: Oh my god, did he sing?

Shot of Fred and Wes whispering to each other.

Lorne: So you all know already, and why didn't the green guy get a memo?
Gunn: What did you and the other Entertainment Big Wigs sing about?
Lorne: (sighs) Movie Releases

Lorne sits down in an empty chair at the table and picks up a piece of paper with a weary sigh. We see Wes whispering in Fred's ear.

Fred: (loudly) Tha-That's right! The, the volume. The text.
Angel: What text?
Wes: The volume-y text. You know? The, the (mumbles) chronicles.
Gunn: The who?
Wes: Oh, there's just a few volumes back at my apartment that deal with mystical chants, bacchanals. Singing demons, and the like.

Harmony glances at the desk, sees a necklace lying there.

Fred: It might be kinda important.
Wes: Yeah, we could, um-
Angel: Well, I'm close to looking into astronaut unicorns at the moment, so I'm open to anything.

Harmony furtively picks up the necklace and plays with is with a smile.

Wes: Great, we'll, uh, go check it out and uh, we'll ring you if we find any pertinent information
Fred: Yeah, this could be what we're looking for.

Cut to Wes and Fred walking through a park. It's sunny and beautiful. Green grass, blue sky, etc.

Fred:(giggles) Do you even have any books at your apartment anymore?
Wes: (smiles softly) Perhaps, none pertaining to mystical broadway productions, but it is such a lovely day.The sun is shining, there is music in the air...

A couple of young men walk by and look at Fred as they pass.

Wes: ...those guys are checking you out.
Fred: What? (turns to look) Wh-What are they looking at?
Wes: The exquisite beauty of you of course.
Fred: Those guys really thought I was...beautiful? (looks back at them again)
Wes: Entirely.
Fred: That's it, I'm over Demon Fighting Geeky super heros. Bring on the studs!

Fred makes like she's going to run after the guys. Wes grabs her and pulls her back. Fred giggles.

Wes: Do I have to fight to keep you? For, I doubt they allow conjugal visits to convicted felons.

They stand underneath a tree, leaning on a wooden railing.

Fred: I'm just ... not used to that. They-they were really looking at me?
Wes: (fondly) And you can't imagine what they see in you.
Fred: I know exactly what they see in me.

Song: "I'm Under Your Spell"
Fred: (verse one)
I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face.
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I'm bathed in light
[walking out from the shade, lifting her face to the sun]
Something just isn't right
I'm under your spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you set me free
Brought me out so easily.

Pan across a little stream with a bridge over it. Wes and Fred are on the bridge. Fred takes Wes's hand and they walk off the bridge onto a path, holding hands.

Fred: (verse two)
I saw a world conflicted
Demons and monsters everywhere.

Wes makes a gesture with her arm and sparkles appear, following his hand with a little tinkling noise.

Fred:
I always feared
I was the only one there.

Wes makes some even more impressive sparkles with her hand, ending in a small shower of sparks surrounding them both. They smile at each other.

Fred:
But you brought me home.
A home better than any I've known.

Fred spins away from Wes. We see a small pond at the edge of the grass. Fred begins to dance.

Fred:
I'm under your spell
Nothing I can do
You just took my soul with you

A couple of young women are on the grass sunbathing in the background. They get up and begin dancing in sync with Fred.

Fred:
You worked your charms so well
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true
You made me believe.
SUNBATHERS:
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh (etc...)

Fred and Wes spin around in each other's arms. Suddenly they are in their bedroom. They sit down on the bed and look lovingly at each other. The music and background "ahh, ahh" continues.

Fred:
The moon to the tide
I can feel you inside
I'm under your spell [lies down on the bed]
Surging like the sea [Wes leans over her, smiles]
Wanting you so helplessly
I break with every swell
Lost in ecstasy
Spread beneath my Wesley
You make me complete!

Fred and Wes stare at each other intensely.

Fred:
You make me complete
You make me complete
You make me...

The couple begins to make out passionately.

[slayerette]

that's ace, keep it coming. :)

[unspokenwords]

Cut back to the Wolfram and Hart. Everyone still looking at books.

Lorne: I think new love is so refreshing.
Angel: New Love?
Gunn: You know, English and Fred? Making with the goo goo eyes, macking out in his office in between meetings...ringing a bell?

Angel: Wes and Fred?
Gunn: Like you didn't know..( pauses) You didn't did you?
Angel: Wes and Fred? Oh Gunn, I'm so sorry.
Gunn: Angel, chill..it's cool. Gave Wes the obligatory hurt her and I'ma kill you run down. We're still cool.
Angel: Oh, tha-that's good...Wes and Fred?
Lorne: Angelcakes, it's actually quite sweet, their auras blend so perfectly. It's like a match made in- (he looks around at the office) Hell. But a rather posh Hell.


Cut to basement of Wolfram and Hart. It's dark. A lab assistent is tap-dancing across the floor in his white lab coat and waving around a clipboard. Cut closer and we see that his expression is scared and desperate. He continues dancing and suddenly bursts into flame, screaming.

He falls to the floor in front of a pair of feet in red heels and bare female legs.

Pan across to reveal a demon in a red suit, with red skin and a pointy chin.

SWEET: That's Entertainment.
FEMALE ( who looks a heck of alot like Glory and just looks bored.) You've got to come up with better lines.
Blackout.

ACT II.

Open on exterior shot of Angel's posh,lavish...etc home. This is obviously a dream, the brightness and dreamy lighting.

Angel Voiceover: Morning Sleepyhead...

Cut to the bedroom. Angel and a blonde are in bed, naked but covered with the fancy blankets. Angel is propped up on one elbow staring at the pale shoulder adoringly...his hair is not gelled and his blanket is pulled up to his waist.

Spike: (muffled) Piss off, I'm trying to sleep.

Yes the blonde is Spike, who rolls over to face Angel and looks annoyed, his hair sticking up all over the place. Angel is poking is stroking the side of his face with another sappy smile.

Spike:( trying to look annoyed, but failing) Don't you have work you poncy git?

Angel: Nah, I gave the team the day off. Gunn and Wes do that tap dancing routine again...I don't know if I can deal. Want some breakfast?

Spike: Would you still feed me if I lost me soul?
Angel: No, I'll only feed myself, but since I'd have to lock you up you would receive free meals anyhow. (kisses him chastely) Hey, how about something different this morning...I could make pancakes...

Angel continues talking unintelligibly as Spike sits up snagging a pair of jeans from the chair by the bed and begins to sing to the camera while pulling them on.

Song: "I'd be in Hell"

Spike:
This is the wanker that I managed to entangle
Isn't he fine?
Our claim to fame was to maim and to mangle
Bloody Chaos was mine!
But we're out of the biz
I've got my soul, and he's got his
And without him I know [pauses, shakes his head]
I'd be in Hell.

Spike gets up and walks off. Angel sits up in bed and sings to the camera.

Angel:
He is the one
He's such wonderful fun
Nobody else his stamina can surpass

Spike returns, sits beside him to pull on his boots. Angel strokes the back of his neck.

Angel:
Warm in the night when I'm right in his tight- [catches himself]
Our bond will last! It will last![hugs him]
I'll never let him go [Spike putting boots on]
The love we've known can only grow
Without him there's no doubt...
I'd be in hell.
BOTH:
'Cause we'd be in hell.....

Cut to the two of them leaving the bedroom, emerging into the living room.

Spike:
He snores.
Angel:
He wheezes.
Spike:
Stupid git, we don't *breath* Peaches.
Angel: [opens the fridge]
5 Cases of beer and blooming onions is his idea of a healthy diet.

Angel picks an empty beer bottle makes an irritated face.

Spike:
I talk, he breezes.
Angel:
He does not know what no means.
Spike:
His penis got almost got chopped off by an angry bride! [Angel looks annoyed, closes fridge]
BOTH:
The vibe gets kind of scary
Angel:
Like he thinks I'm ordinary
Spike:
Like he'll have a coronary
Angel:
Like he wants to change his name to Larry
BOTH: [giving each other fake smiles]
But it's all very well
'Cuz without him I'd be in hell!

Angel opens the newspaper. The headline on the front page reads: ANOTHER CONVICTED FELON WAS RELEASED TODAY, COURTESY OF WOLFRAM AND HART.

Spike:
He's kinda jealous cuz, he
Knows that I shagged Buffy! [Angel gives him a look]
Now look, he's getting huffy
'Cause he had her once, and I kinda lost count.
Angel:
He stubborn
He's big mouthed
He's also really really slow
He nev-
Spike:
He like Barry Manilow!
Angel:
This is my verse, hello!
He-

Spike begins to dance in flapper style.

Spike: (spoken) Bugger!

Angel joins the dance and they dance together around the apartment.

BOTH:
You know...
Angel:
You're quite the charmer.
Spike:
My dark advenger. (grimaces)
Angel:
You're the hottest of the Gang
With your sharp and pearly cute Fangs
And your firm yet alluring- [catches himself]
Our love will last!

They resume dancing, then go to opposite sides of the dining room table and sit.

Spike:
He's swell
Angel:
He's sweller
Spike:
If he leaves me I will tell her.( Angel looks scared for a moment)
Angel:
That's why If he steals my Viper I really don't mind.
Spike:
I've read this tale
There's lots of sex, then betrayal
I know there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide.

They get up, crawl across the table toward each other.

Angel:
I lied
I said it's easy
I've tried
But there's times I want to kill him

They sit with their backs pressed against each other.

Angel:
Is he looking for a soulful saint?
Spike:
Will he get his Shanshu and go back to bints? [stands up]
Angel:
Will our lives become too peaceful and Buffy come to kill us cuz Harmony dropped a hint?
Spike:
I parked the Jag in the back last night, will I wake up dust if it gets hit?

They get up, resume dancing.
Angel:
God I'm Crazy!
Spike:
I must be dreamin'?
Angel:
I'm sleeping with a demon?
Both:
The sex if good we're happy so there's no need to tell!
Without him I'd be I'd be in hell!
I know that I'd be in hell!

They walk around the table, toward the couches in the living-room area.

Angel:
The prophesy is bull.
Spike:
The Shanshu is null.
Angel:
No need to worry
Nothing is wrong
BOTH:
I'm not in
Hell!

They both fall back onto the sofa, clutching each other and laughing fake Hollywood-musical laughs.

End of song "I'd be in Hell."

Cut to Real Life. Angel and Spike wake up in their separate apartments from their nightmare/dream and scream at the top of their lungs.


Cut to the Angel's Office and him on the phone.

Angel: Wes, this needs to be fixed, NOW!

[mire]

[PrettyasaPictur]

I've really enjoyed reading this...You've done a really good job!!...even though I'm not a spangel fan, it was a good chuckle none-the-less!!! Ya, I needed a good laugh(I'm still smiling thinking about it) THANK YOU!!!....anywho,keep up the good work...

[unspokenwords]

Angel: Wes, you've got to stop it. Like, now as in pronto.
Wes: Well, we've been looking into some leads..
Harmony: (comes into the office) Um, Boss..the girls in the lunch room are stripping on the tables and singing about making sacrifices for their bosses.
Angel:(stares for a moment) Wes, work with me here. Give me some names, numbers...anything and tell me who to kill or..sue.

We hear a woman singing but we can't see her or make out the words yet.

Wes: It's not that simple Angel, the paperwork and phonecalls and texts can not be sorted through in a few hours..well the could but that would requi-

They continue talking in the background as we focus on a man, the mail man. He is dancing around his cart with a package and singing to a pissed off looking slimy demon in a suit. As he sings we can see Wes, Angel and Gunn standing and talking in background.

Mail Man:
I'm asking you please no
It isn't right, it isn't fair
There was no return address anywhere
I think it was sealed with Gorgach hair
Why can't you let it go?
I think I've done more than my share...

He continues singing in the background as Wes, Angel and Gunn continue walking to the elevators and talking.

Angel: You're telling me that people are just singing and dancing until they catch on fire.That's...crazy.
Gunn: I don't know Angel. One more verse from my clients and I would've been looking for a gas can.
Wes: Well, clearly emotions are running high. (We see people in background dancing together) But as far as I can tell these people burnt up from the inside, spontaneously combusted. I've only seen the one. I was able to examine the body while the police were taking witness arias.
Angel: Okay, but we're sure that the things are related: the singing and dancing, and burning and dying.

They stop walking.
Wes: We, well we honestly haven't a clue. We have no contacts outside of Wolfram and Hart anymore. Those who were reliable sources want nothing to do with-
( Angel stalks off and out of the building)
Gunn: And he's off, again without as much as a Goodbye or a lets go kick some ass...
Wes: (shakes head) This place has been a good change for us all, but with Angel... uh...

Gunn pats Wes awkwardly on the shoulder.

Cut to Spike's Apartment. Angel enters and holds up a key with a questioning smirk. Spike arches an eyebrow from his position on his couch.

SPIKE: Ahh, 'bout time you showed up. (gets up and snags a couple of beers from the fridge)Wes, and Charlieboy showed up, I was sure you'd be following to bring the obligatory plant.
Angel: This is where you are living? ( looks around with an unreadable expression)
SPIKE: Well, unfortunately not all vamps are the bloody CEO of Wolfram and Hart. Better 'n my old crypt so I can't complain.(offers Angel of beer) Drink?
Angel: I, think I'll pass. (sits) You were there for the musical hoohah in the office, you know what may be causing this?
SPIKE: (disappointed) Oh. So that's all. You've just come to pump me for information.
Angel: What else would I wanna pump you for? (cringes) I really just said that, didn't I?
( They both flash back to the in bed scene of the dream and go wide eyed)
SPIKE: (recovers)Yeah, well....don't want to bore you with the small talk.

Spike walks to the door, opens it and turns toward Angel.

SPIKE: Don't know a thing.
Angel: (frowns) What's wrong with you?
SPIKE: Nothing. Glad you could stop by.

He makes a gesture toward the door. Angel stays seated, looks at him.

SPIKE: (defensive) It's nothing.
Angel: What?

Song: "Rest In Peace"

SPIKE:
(verse one)
I died
So many years ago.
[Spike looks surprised to hear himself singing. Angel looks petrified]
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so [shakes his head, closes the door]
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmm, mmm.
(verse two)
You're scared.
Ashamed of what you feel
[Angel not looking at him]
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
[Now he looks at him, frowns]
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
It doesn't make it real. [points to his head]

Angel looks at him, then looks away. Spike rolls his eyes in annoyance.

SPIKE:
(verse three)
That's great.
But I don't wanna play. [walks over to Angel]
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say.
But since I'm only dead to you [grabs him by his coller and jerks him forwards so he's singing in his face]
I'm saying stay away [his expression softens and he pushes Angel away roughly]
And let me rest in peace.

Spike turns away from him and the song takes on an angry rock beat for the refrain.

SPIKE: (refrain)
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
[grabs beer bottle and throws it against the wall. Angel jumps up]
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down [advancing on Angel]
But I can't find my sweet release
[turns away from him with an angry gesture]
So let me rest in peace!

Angel looks annoyed, turns toward the door, but Spike intercepts him.

SPIKE: (verse four)
You know
You've got a willing slave [goes to his knees]
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave. [Angel swallows nervously]
But till you do I'm telling you, [stands up]
Stop visiting my grave
[angrily]
And let me rest in peace.

Spike yanks the door open again.

Cut to the alley. A group of drunk people are walking and staggering along. A few dozen yards away we see Spike and Angel walking along side-by-side.

SPIKE: (bridge)
I know I should go
But I'm drawn to you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
[exchanges a look with Angel]
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed [looking at Angel]
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
[they stop walking]
But I can see you're unimpressed
[angrily] So leave me be.

Spike charges the group of drunks.

SPIKE: (refrain)
And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep

The men and women scream and Spike shifts into game face.

SPIKE:
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep

He growls and The people scatter.

SPIKE:
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release...

He grabs one man, stares at him. Angel comes up behind Spike, grabs him and turns him around.

Spike and Angel tumble backward over a stack of crates. Angel lands on his back with Spike on top of him. He's back in human face.

SPIKE:
Let me rest in peace.
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?

End of song "Rest In Peace."

They still lie on the ground with Spike on top. He stares at Spike for a moment, then shoves him off him, leaps off the ground and runs off. Spike raises his head slightly and watches him go.
SPIKE: (spoken) So ... you're not staying then?

[Magui]

OOOOH MMYYYY GOOOD!!!!!

That was soooo freaking awesome!!!!!.I love it!!!.Post more please!.I love this story.:: tu ::

This is better than the actual musical lol:p.

[MentPatient]

HAHAHA! ROFLMAO!
... For a while I thought that the scene of Angel and Spike were real... HAHA! Spike singing RIP to Angel!

So this episode is if the OMWF never happened yeah? Because it wouldn't make sense if Spike knew what was going on and not say anything... nevermind, from logic, I concluded that OMWF never happened in this version.

[*Screw Destiny*]

That is SOOO wrong! Who's gonna sing Standing?

[Spikesgurl235]

Cut to Wolfram and Hart. Harmony is sorting through some files. Gunn watches for a moment from near the stairs before walking towards the forlorn looking blonde vampire chicky.

Gunn: Lotta work?
Harmony: What? Oh yeah, work. You know Angel, slave driver, no rest for the dead.

Gunn: (looks serious) Running Wolfram and Hart is something that requires alot of hard work and..oh I better stop before I start singing. (grimaces) Look, Wes and his team think they have a lead on this whole Hell on Broadway shebang. This demon that can be summoned, some sort of Lord of the Dance, without the leather pants.

Harmony: Um ... do they know who summoned it?
Gunn: They don't even know its name yet. But Wes and Fred will figure it out, and then well slay it's evil ass. It's what we do.

Harmony: Hm. (shrugs) I am so glad you guys are like all back together and teamy again. When I came and tried to kill yall, which I'm still sorry for by the way...
Gunn: What?
Harmony: You know, when Angel got all groiny with Darla...everybody was hating him cuz he fired you and stuff.

Gunn: (confused) Harmony, Angel never slept with-
Harmony: It's okay. I mean, if Angel had fired me and then had sex with our arch nemesis, that is if we had one which we don't since we sorta represent all the nemesises in the world, but anyhow if he did I'd be mad at him too.

Gunn puts his hand to his head and frowns as if confused.

Harmony: But anyways, I'm glad you guys got over it and our back together.

Gunn: (still frowning) You see Wes or Angel, tell them I'll be in my office...

Harmony: (rolls her eyes) Sure, that's me. Message girl.

Gunn leaves.

Harmony sighs and picks up a stack of papers seeing and the necklace falls off her desk. She takes out the necklace from before and puts it on and strokes it with a sad smile.

Harmony: (sings) Does anybody even notice? Does anybody even care?

She turns around to find that she is no longer in the lobby and drops the papers with a loud scream as the camera reveals her in the W&H basement and Sweet staring at her with a smirk.

[David's Girl]

Ooooo, cooooool!!!! Poor Harmony!

[*Screw Destiny*]

This is soooo good! Please keep going! I gotta read more! I gotta see how this turns out.

Hey, can I make a suggestion? Can the kiss at the end be between Harmony and Gunn? It's weird, but I think they'd be cute together. I'm a bit crazy, I know, but can you do it? You did Spangel!

OH, who's gonna sing Standing? I gotta know!

[Magui]

I love it:D...btw,the kiss has to be between Spike & Angel!!!

[MentPatient]

Too bad for Harmony... is Sweet going to make her her bride??? Whoa...

I bet it was Gunn who summoned the demon or maybe Fred.

List of suspects (Most likely at top):
Gunn
Fred
Angel
Harmony
Wesley

[Magui]

I think it was Gunn ...dunno why though lol:p

Act III
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open on the basement. Pan down to reveal Harmony asleep on floor. She suddenly jerks awake, sits up, and begins to do a ballet dance.

She leaps to her feet and is confronted a masked minion. They do a ballet-ish dance that basically represents Harmony trying to escape and the demon stopping her. They go back and forth before she stops and looks annoyed stomping her foot in frustration. The other two demons appear and join the dance. They surround Harmony as she huddles close to the floor. Then they fling her and she goes sliding across the floor, stopping beside the stage. We see Sweet's feet in red pants and black-and-white dance shoes. They begin to do a tap-dance number, dance down the stairs and toward Harmony... Meanwhile the camera moves up to reveal Sweet. He dances around to the other side of Harmony.

Song: "That's What It's All About."

SWEET:
Why'd you run away?
Don't you like my ... style?

He snaps his fingers and his red suit turns to a blue one.

SWEET:
Why don't you come and play?
I guarantee a...

He reaches up to his face, pulls off his mouth and holds the disembodied mouth in Harmony's face. She stares with a disgusted yet interested as the mouth continues singing.

SWEET: ...great big smile.

The mouth disappears from his hand and reappears in its normal place.

SWEET:
I come from the
Imagination
And I'm here strictly by your
Invocation [holds up a scroll covered with writing]
So what do you say?
Why don't we dance awhile?

He dances over to Harmony, gestures at her, then dances away again.

SWEET:
I'm the hot swing
I'm the twist and shout
[tapdances]
When you gotta sing,
When you gotta ... let it out.
[shot of the three minions dancing to the tune]
You call me and I come a-running [dances back toward Harmony]
I turn the music on
I bring the fun in
[makes a string-pulling gesture at Harmony, who gets up]
Now we're partyin'
That's what it's all about. [chuckles]

He dances toward Harmony and she dances backward.

SWEET: 'Cause I know ... what you feel, girl.

He puts his arms around her and they dance together. Harmony looks scared.

SWEET: I know just what you feel, girl.

He spins Harmony away, she dances a few steps away from him.

Harmony: (spoken, nervous) So ... you're like, not a client of Wolfram and Hart? Here to like, I dunno destroy it or something?

Sweet laughs, shakes his head "no."

SWEET:
All these melodies ... [Harmony sits]
They go on too long
Then that energy
[minions doing a dance-fight]
Starts to come on way too strong
All those hearts laid open, that must sting
[a door appears beside Sweet, he reaches for the knob]
Plus, some customers just start combusting

Sweet opens the door and a charred smoking corpse falls through it. Harmony stares in horror.

SWEET:
That's the penalty [dances back over to her]
When life is but a song.
[dancing up very close to Harmony, she looks very nervous]
You brought me down into this town
So, when we blow this scene
Back we will go to my kingdom below
And you will be my queen

Sweet makes a gesture and Harmony's clothing turns to a satiny and revealing evening gown. She grins but then the grin fades.

SWEET:
'Cause I know what you feel, girl [dances up onto the stage]
Harmony:
No, you see
You and me
Wouldn't work out at all
SWEET:
I'll make it real, girl [dancing around the stage]
Harmony:
What I mean
You're evil
My boss is not, so no but have a ball
SWEET: [jumps back onto the floor]
I can bring whole cities to ruin
And still have time to get a soft-shoe in
Harmony:
Well, that's great
But I've got work
And I'd hate to get fired
SWEET: [dancing around her]
Something's cooking, I'm at the griddle
I bought Nero his very first fiddle
Harmony:
He'll be mad
He's not that bad (mumbles 'he's just got a soul')
So he's too old to retire

Sweet stops in mid-kick, looks surprised, stops dancing, turns to Harmony. End of song "That's What It's All About."

SWEET: (spoken) Angelus?
Harmony: (nods, nervously) Yuh-huh. I mean, no...he's technically Angel now. He only adds the 'us when he's wearing leather pants.
SWEET: (chuckles, turns to minions) Find him. Tell him ... tell him anything. (Harmony looks nervous) Just get him here. I want to see if Souled Vampires burn.

Harmony looks alarmed.


SWEET: (sings) Now we're partying. That's what it's all about.

[Magui]

He only adds the 'us when he's wearing leather pants

Lmao!!:D.

Post more please!!!!

[unspokenwords]

Cut to Angel's Office. Lorne stands in the doorway and knocks on the doorframe.

LORNE: Hey big guy, gotta minute?
Angel: (looks up from his paper work and blinks) Oh, uh...Lorne. Right, sure...c'mon in.

LORNE walks into office and has a seat)

ANGEL: (fidgets with his pen as Lorne just stares at him for a long while) Was there like...something you wanted?
LORNE: (jumps slightly) Oh, hehe, sorry about that Angelcakes...I was just, wondering something.
ANGEL: About...what?
LORNE: You.
ANGEL: (leans back in his chair) Me.
LORNE: (nods) Yes, you. Ever since we've gotten here your Aura has been like Jaws 3d *with* the cheesy sound effects.
Angel: (blank stare) What?
LORNE: Moody, snappy, prone to wild mood swings and violent outbursts...I know you aren't pregnant (looks at Angel's glare) so spill the beans Ang, what's eating you?
ANGEL: (pauses) Nothing... (looks at Lorne's unconvinced face) Okay, something...or like maybe I want something to be eating me but...(Lorne has a 'oh reeeally' expression on his face)
LORNE: So you -
ANGEL: (interrupts quickly) Not going to talk about it. Thank you for your concern. But if I suddenly start going on like Eliza Doolittle...I'd have to stake myself.

LORNE: Sweetums, you're pretty but you aren't slender enough to pull off an Audrey Hepburn. Now...Spike on the other hand...
ANGEL: Spike has nothing to do with this! God, why does everybody think that everything has to do with that meddlesome annoying bleached idiot! (getting out of his chair and starting to pace) Look Lorne, you are a good friend...but keep your Aura spying out of my Aura and mind your own business okay? Its..(pause) It's for your own good.
LORNE: (softly) Right.
ANGEL: (oblivious) Okay then, that's settled. Thank you for stopping by.

Lorne looks pensive, turns and begins to walk towards the door.

ANGEL: Oh and Lorne? ...uh, I'm...glad you're here.

Song: "Lost your Way"

LORNE:
You wear a mask for the world outside
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide
[watches Angel pace]
I know I said that I'd be standing by your side
[turns away for a moment]
But I...

Lorne sighs and turns back to watch Angel sit back at his desk and sort through papers.

LORNE:
Your path's unbeaten and it's all uphill
And you can meet it, but have you lost your will?
[walking away from the door way]
What is the reason that you're standing still
[looks at him as he answers his phone]
Sometimes...
[watches through the glass as Angel gestures angrily and speaks on the phone in slow motion]
I wish I could say the right words
To help you through this land.
[Angel still gesturing in slow motion]
Wish I could play the part
And somehow guide your heart [reaching out his hand, then pulls it back]
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
[walks closer to the glass as Angel yells at his phone and slams it down in slow motion]
You've somehow, lost your way.

As Lorne continues singing, we cut to the lab. Gunn walks in as Fred has her back turned. Fred doesn't see Gunn, she's staring at an invoice in her hand with faint horror and almost teary eyes.

LORNE: The cries around you, you don't hear at all

Gunn walks quickly towards the Fred with a frown, starts to show her a file in her hand before she turns around and shows him the invoice with an imploring look.

LORNE: Somehow you always contribute to their falls

Cut back to the Office. Lorne walks past the doorway, still watching through the glass regular speed as Angel speaks with some client in slow mo.

LORNE:
So many have died here just following your call
But I...
[Angel smiling fakily and standing up to shake the hand of the client over his desk]
I wish you would lay your arms down
And be at peace at last
Wish you could hang your cape up
But that has not come to pass
Wish I could stay here
Pretend that I don't see
That you've somehow, lost your way.

Angel walks right up in front of Lorne, waving after his client as the client leaves and then Angel's face falls from smile and back into brood mode.

LORNE: You've somehow, lost your way..

End of song "Lost your Way"

Angel returns to regular speed.

ANGEL: (spoken) Oh...you're still here?

[Magui]
