TEXT: Prologue: In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer. The Bronze. Splendid is the band tonight. They are on stage performing "Charge". The camera pans from the spotlights above the band down past the drummer to the lead guitar player. Lyrics: The way you love / Have you got a name for it / Cause I don't understand it The camera pans past the singer and into the crowd. Cordelia and Xander are dancing close with their arms around each other and smiling. Lyrics: The language is an annoying necessity / And I depend on all the regular things The camera reaches Willow, who is looking around for Buffy. She turns around, looks up and spots her on the upper level leaning against the railing and watching the band. The camera pans up to her. Lyrics: Got a list tattooed on my memory / Of how our tryst should unfold Behind Buffy a boy approaches her. Lyrics: I'm falling from the opposite Ben: Hey. Buffy turns to him, a little surprised. Lyrics: What good is it Ben: I'm Ben. We had Algebra II together last year. Lyrics: Fight the map with no key attached Buffy: Sorry, I pretty much repress anything math-related. Lyrics: My heart's enlarged, and I charge / What do you say Ben: Ms. Jackson? Second period? You sat in the seat three over and one behind. Lyrics: To a dream that won't go away Buffy: Oh! Yeah, I remember now, it's the one with the desks and the chalkboards and pencils and stuff, right? Ben: That's the one. (chuckles) Buffy: (smiles and points at her head) Like a steel trap. Lyrics: 'Cause I don't know if I can stand it Ben: So, I was wondering, you know the dance tomorrow night? Are you going? Buffy: You mean the Sadie Hawkins thing? The deal where the girls ask the boys? Ben
SUMMARY:
The tortured ghost of a former Sunnydale High student re-enacts a murder-suicide on the night of the school's Sadie Hawkins dance . Bespelled to play the parts, Buffy and Angelus change the tragic outcome just enough for the lovers' spirits to find peace, and for Buffy to learn the meaning of forgiveness.
