FIC: The Late Shift

[LeatherQueen]

Aw... my poor little mistress of verbosity and babbleyness is sick. *sending many get-better vibes your way*



Rest up and get better soon, hon. We'll be waiting patiently for your pun-diddley genius right here.



*plops down onto a bean bag chair to wait for chica's triumphant return*

LeatherQueen -



I only got up from that bean bag for a second to try to get some work done. Damn - now I have to sit on the floor.

wiccachica-

Just adding my well-wishes, good vibes and sincere hopes for your good health to the general outcry. I certainly missed my daily dose of weirdness, but I'd rather have you and your brain all nice and healthy. (who knows what you'd come up with if you wrote while under the influence of medicines, teas or Pixie's chicken soup.... *bonk* (Ouch! Hey! I'm only kidding, neshomeleh! geez!)

Random yet related story: I was talking to an, er... friend the other day, and, out of nowhere she started going on about how there ought to be multiple mes. I can't remember why. She then went on to muse about multiple hers to keep the multiple mes company, and wheter the duplicates would take on just one aspect of the personality, and if so, which pairings would occur.... Most odd. (and I don't know how she got that bright idea, because she is entirely deprived of any btvs - related anything. Sadly, that includes this fic. She has no idea what she's missing, I tell ya.).



So.... Woncubines.... *glances at Tiny Jewish Santa so as to be sure of same's attention*

We are a harem, I believe.... Last time I checked, in any case. As such, I am quite certain that we have luxurious furniture of all sorts just lying about, waiting to be lounged upon and that means more than enough beanbags for all. The floor, of course being a perfectly acceptable place to sit, if you're into that sort of thing....

[LeatherQueen]

oops! *looks over at TJS* Sorry... didn't know it was taken. But as Owl says, there should be furniture everywhere around here. You could always hop on the twirly bed over there.



Me? I'm content to sit on a pillow so long as our chica is feeling better. Besides, if you sit on pillows, you get to hold on to chica's leg. *narrows her eyes meaningfully* But just remember... the right leg's mine.



See what happens when you leave us alone in your thread? We start to lay claim to your limbs.



Anyhoo, whilst we wait... who's gonna put on a floor show? *scootches over so TJS can have a seat on the bean bag*



*sending more good thoughts to our beloved chica... and if good thoughts aren't enough, I can make a mean PB and honey sammich*

floor show, there's going to be a floor show - I'll sit anywhere then. well, ok, maybe not anywhere....

[UniDagger]

*Pops giant amount of popcorn and bakes fresh cookies and hands them out*



*settles into a comfy chair and crunches popcorn, waiting for the show to begin*

[Owl]

Oh, no.

I'm that obnoxious nerdy kid who makes irrelevant comments at completely random intervals, earning well-deserved eye-rolls from the rest of the class. Well, I've caught on.

And this time I'm not going to say or do anything. I'm just going to sit here, and enjoy the show with the rest of you.

*plops into a butterfly chair with some purloined popcorn* *munch*

................

*drums fingers*

............

*squirms*

Why are butterfly chairs so uncomfortable sometimes?

.................

.................

*starts to eat popcorn at much too rapid pace*

*gobble gobble*

.............

GAH! I can't take it any more!

*runs out of the room, presumably to prepare some sort of floorshow..... *

[TinyJewishSanta]

I'd help you out with that floor show, Owl, but I have already lost the respect of my students by making far to many Buffy comments in class. There is this last shred of dignity that I am hanging on to.



Thanks for the furniture, though.

Owl - *TJS taps foot impatiently* we're waiting...

[Sassette]

*A-HEM*



What with wiccachica being sick, and Owl still preparing a floor-show, I thought I'd take this opportunity to, uhhh.... well, here.



*pulls out a guitar and begins to sing and play schmulzy love songs*



-Sass

[TinyJewishSanta]

Can you do that one - it's wildly popular - I don't remember the name, but the chorus is something about someone taking someone elses soul or something like that?



You know the one - sung by that really hot chick to that other hot chick.

"It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage."
Innocence

[Sassette]

Oh, it's a little out of my range, but I'll do it transposed, if that's okay?



I'll even do the little dance in the middle *G*



-Sass

[LeatherQueen]

Well woohoo! Dancing Sassettes and Owl floorshows. Heh.. now what could be wrong with that?



So if you're singing the song and dancing the dance... what are you going to do for the ending?

Fade to black.



-Sass

[TinyJewishSanta]

I'm a flaming O - whoo hoo - maybe I should help Sass with that ending...



*TJS comes down from the excitement of achieving a new posting level and remembers that her ketubah (Jewish wedding contract) specifically states that she most definitely can't help Sass with that ending*

[LeatherQueen]

Oooh,... Owl. You're brilliant! God I love that song. Happy memories of rollerskating to that song back when I was... um... well, younger. Heh.



*runs off singing... "Oh Chica what a pity, you don't understand, you've got us in your clutches like a wacky mummy hand"*



hee hee... now that song is gonna be in my head all night.



Encore! Encore!

Crud! I wasn't done yet!

.... going to edit the end in now...... yargh!



edit coming soon..... more verses.... more fun....

[Sassette]

Okay, that floorshow is WAY worth this.



*takes off her shirt, and sits and watches happily*



Please, Owl ... pray, continue.



-Sass

[Owl]

Without further ado, hyperowl productions presents..... a floorshow. Oh, boy, do I hope you all like 80's music...

*Several Smitten cheerleaders (borrowed, doing double-duty as woncubines, or otherwise gainfully employed from Sassette's thread) cartwheel in impressively and start to sing percussively*



Wonk-chica-wonky-chica-wonk-chica-wonky-chica

-------To the beat of Toni Basil's Mickey (now if you have no idea what this sounds like, you can go here for an idea. Please note that I have no affiliation with Ms. Basil or with the websites linked, but my toothbrush suggested the song (electric toothbrushes... scary, scary things.... ) and the sites have purty pictures.....-------------------

Ok

Wonk-chica-wonky-chica-wonk-chica-wiccachica

Hey Chica you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind!

Hey Chica! Hey Chica!



The song goes into a review of Late Shift events.... As characters are mentioned, they dance into the room and join the cheerleaders in their synchronized dance



Well, Spike looks like Tara, and Tara looks like Spike.

And now she wishes that she hadn't gotten on his bike.

Now Willow looks like Buffy

and Buffy looks like Dawn

and they both wonder what the frilly heck is going on

Now Dawn looks like Anya, and Anya looks like Xander

And she thinks that her bad karma has come back to reprimand her

Now Xander looks like Willow, and Willow looks like Buffy

And everyone was shocked to see that glowing hungry puppy



Oh, Chica what a pity, you don't understand,

You've got us in your clutches like a wacky mummy hand

Oh chica you're so funny, don't you understand?

It's trolls like yours chica!

Ooh what you do chica, do chica! Don't ever stop chica!



Hey Chica!

And then they looked and noticed how things began to shift.

So they went up to the big house, they were feeling pretty miffed.

Dorothy, Mother, Showtime, and wimpy Spike got slapped

It was Club Discotekka when they got their bodies back



They went up to merrimirth and it was story time

They told of date night and tattoos and Olivia Valentine.

War is heck and twinkies drive and sometimes scoobies float

And laundry day is so much fun with three extra Willows



Well, when Tara's in the graveyard with one too many souls

And when she tells 'em "bite me", the vamps sing musicals

She gets them back to Sunnydale, pretends that she's undead,

and hides with Danger Alabaster 'til she's cursed by three redheads



Then they have a real good time painting Willow's room

but the sign above the carnival spells nothing but doom

So, Danger gets a doggie, by the name of Mack

And Tara's gotten kidnapped and Willow wants her back!



Hey Chica!

Oh, chica, life's a bitca, we all understand

and we want you to get better 'cause your fic's in high demand!

Oh, chica you're so funny, don't you understand?

It's trolls like yours chica! Ooh what you do chica, do chica!

Get better soon, chica!



Hey chica, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind!

Hey chica! Hey chica!



Click, Scrape.... Click, Scrape

*Owl is dragged off stage by a legion of angry tap-shoe wearing students who are dragging their desks along with them. The cheerleaders and others cartwheel off very nicely*

whew! anyone else? Obviously, I missed some key events, but the song was becoming epic, as befits this delightfully long story.

LOL. Cheers Owl, you've captured the allure of the Late Shift perfectly. And with an appropriately weird song.

[Canadian Kitty]

Well that did it Owl. I'd stapled myself to my chair to ride out wiccachica's cliffhangers and the end of AD but your song made me laugh so hard they popped out and I fell to the floor. LOL!! that was great.



Wiccachica, take care of yourself and the troll. Get better soon.
